002 Drought borrowed grain
Half a month later, Huo Wuwu can be regarded as coming out of the forbidden room.
The fire early summer and the fire laughing flame have not been heard from at all.
The fire knife and all the valuable things were handed over to the treasury, and Huo Lie arranged for him to condense ten fireballs a day, and do his best for the country in exchange for some money.
It's nothing, the main thing is that the food that has been reduced to two meals a day has been reduced again, and it has become two meals a day and half full each meal~~!!!
A month and a half passed, and not a drop of rain fell on the red flame (fire).
--------------------------------------------------
In the Zhaoyang Hall of the Red Flame (Fire) Country, "The deep well in Fuzhou has dried up for a month, and more than half of the people have died of hunger and thirst.
"Isn't it? This year, an altar is set up to ask for rain, and the rain is getting less and less, and this year it hasn't rained once, alas!
"Ladies and gentlemen, if anyone has surplus food and water balls, please give me some weight, and my house will run out of food. ”
"Lord Mu, now that the palace is half full, how can you support so many refugees in your house! Who has surplus food to lend you!"
"I heard that Yongcang (Mu) replied, and I really hope to borrow this life-saving food. ”
"If you want to borrow it, you still need to open the court to discuss it? I will directly send someone to get food. The two surnamed Liu have a grudge in their hearts and can't wait to watch the show. Hey, what a response to that sentence!" the voice gritted its teeth.
Wearing a Suzaku fairy costume, Huo Wuwu hid at the entrance of the temple, listening to the discussion inside, while looking out. When he heard the "red face and troubled water", he unconsciously clenched his fists.
Twenty years ago, his mother, the then Princess Chiyan (Fire), politely rejected the courtship surnamed Liu and married the imperial doctor of her country. Soon after giving birth to him, he died due to the failure of refining the spirit body after passing the cultivation bottleneck, and his father also died of illness soon after.
It is said that the one surnamed Liu is also persistent, and for the sake of his mother, he has not married yet, and even the throne has been given to his younger brother. But now the drought has reached a point where we have to turn to other countries for help and borrow food...... Wood makes fire, and the most likely to borrow grain is Yongcang (wood) country, and those two surnamed Liu are the emperor and prince with the highest status in Yongcang (wood).
Huo Wuwu's eyes lit up, and he hid sideways behind the pillar. Huo Chuxia followed Huo Lie and was walking towards Zhaoyang Palace, and Huo Chuxia, who was slightly behind, swept his eyes to reveal the corner of the pillar's clothes: "Daddy, I'll go in later." ”
The middle-aged man who walked in front snorted coldly and walked straight away.
Huo Chuxia walked a few steps closer: "Why are you here?"
"Waiting for you! Knowing that you are coming, the second brother is still locked up. How's that, how many water balloons?" asked Fire Carefree eagerly.
Huo Chuxia looked around and lowered his voice: "Don't mention it, fortunately I met a scoundrel named Stupid, otherwise your second brother and I would have died." What do you say about Yongcang (wood) borrowing grain, do you know?"
"I don't know, what's going on, tell me about it. Huo Wuwu asked urgently.
Huo Chuxia glanced at the sundial: "The hour is coming, turn around and say." "Hurried into the main hall.
A few more people hurriedly walked into the Zhaoyang Palace, and the peeking fire said to themselves: "The second brother can be regarded as being released." ”
The emperor took his seat, and all the officials saluted. Deal with some urgent matters first, and then the emperor sent two letters to Prince Zhenguozun, Huo Chuxia's father Huo Li.
After reading the two letters, Huo Lie tore up Yongcang (wood) on the spot: "Your Majesty, don't let worry-free go to Yongcang (wood)." He handed another letter to his daughter: "Early summer, you go!"
Huo Chuxia, who was standing behind him, was shocked when he read the letter, and threw away the letter like a poisonous insect in his hand. ran to the middle of the hall and knelt down, crying and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about it, you don't have to go to Yongcang (wood), why should I marry Xiangrui (earth), I won't marry!"
Huo Lie stepped forward: "Your Majesty, reply to the letter, it's decided." The minister took the rebel girl to retire first and went back to prepare. "The fire was pulled out of the temple in early summer.
Huo Chuxia cried and shouted, "I won't marry! I won't leave!" and she shook off the flames. Flaming raised his hand and slapped her hard, and Hatsu was beaten and fell to the ground.
He didn't get up and stretched out his hand to pull out the hairpin on his head, and pressed it against his neck without hesitation: "Daddy, I have promised to be stupid, wait for him to marry me." If it weren't for him, I would have died a long time ago, so I can't marry someone else. ”
Although Huo Lie looked at his daughter with tears in his eyes, his position was very firm: "When the national disaster is at hand, as a child of Red Flame (Fire), how can you shirk your personal feelings so much." ”
Huo Chuxia's hand was forced, the hairpin pierced the skin, and a little blood dripped on the ground, "Daddy, if you don't know Benben, I will definitely go." The Qilin princess of Xiangrui (soil) is also over the age of two, if you have to be close to each other to borrow food, why don't the eldest brother and the second brother go?"
With a "snap", as soon as Huo Chuxia finished speaking, he was whipped up. The hairpin was whipped up and came out. Before she could react, Huo Lie whipped it over again: "I can't control it when I grow up, don't I! I don't need you to kill yourself, see how I whip you to death." ”
The whip of "pop" continued to beat, and the fire rolled in the middle of the hall in the early summer: "Daddy, my daughter is not filial, I really can't marry!" "I won't marry if I die!" "You kill me, kill me!" ......
"Stop!" the emperor shouted angrily, and Huo Lie knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty has atoned for your sins, and the ministers are not strict with the rebellious women. Even if she is crippled today, she will be sent to Xiangrui (soil) and relatives. ”
This incident came too quickly and too violently, and everyone in the hall was stunned.
Huo Xiaoyang and Huo Xiaoyan, who were called brothers by Huo Chuxia, both stepped forward and knelt down, and Huo Xiaoyang said: "Erchen is willing to go to Xiangrui (soil) and relatives, in order to borrow grain for disaster relief, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”
"I'll go, I'll go, but don't fight. The fart insect laughed and hurriedly followed.
At the same time, the fire that was eavesdropping outside the door also ran into the main hall, and the distressed fire Chuxia firmly protected him: "Your Majesty, I'll go to Yongcang (wood), don't be embarrassed for my sister." ”
Huo Lie's cold eyes swept his eyes at Huo Wuwu: "Go back, it's none of your business." ”
"Uncle" Huo Wuwu shouted with a little fear, and then straightened up his thin chest: "Yongcang (wood) wants me to go, I will go, the national disaster is at the head, as a son and daughter of fireworks, how can I shirk it." "Leave it as it is, and return the words of Huo Li's reprimand to Sister Chuxia.
Huo Lie took a deep breath: "Do you know what Yongcang (Mu) asked you to do? Let you go and cultivate with that old immortal double cultivator surnamed Liu, when he pestered your mother, I should have burned him." ”
Huo Chuxia, who was protected behind him, heard it and grabbed his arm: "Don't worry, you can't go." ”
"Sister, don't worry. "I'm not going to disgrace Red Flame (Fire). Huo Wuwu looked at the early summer of fire, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
Huo Chuxia whispered in his ear, "What do you want to do?"
"Burn him. "Fire said to the fire in the early summer without worrying and silently.
Huo Xiaoyang, who is known as the eldest brother, turned his head, just saw Huo Wuwu's lips, and suddenly frowned, and knelt forward a few steps: "Father, the national disaster is at hand, and there is no time to delay, please ask my father to give an order, and allow the ministers to go to Xiangrui (soil)." ”
Huo Xiaoyan also did the same: "Father, Yun'er Chen went to Xiangrui (soil)." ”
The actions of these teenagers, the emperor saw it clearly, and patted the imperial book case: "Message: Prince Huo Lilie of Zhenguo Zun will take the prince Huo Xiaoyang and Huo Xiaoyan to Xiangrui (soil) to discuss the matter of borrowing grain for disaster relief, and will leave tomorrow morning." I have made up my mind, and I don't need to say anything more, I will retreat. ”
Huo Wuwu hurriedly said: "I will go too, please ask Your Majesty for permission." The emperor didn't even look at him, and went straight back to the imperial study.
The prince hurried away in a rage, and the officials left silently.
Huo Wuwu picked up the letters torn into pieces on the ground one by one, and helped Huo Chuxia: "Let's go, sister." ”
In the worry-free room, the fire on the bed in the early summer faintly tells the story of the travels: the two countries have always forbidden each other to travel, and even the necessary merchants are carefully approved. Due to the lack of food and water due to the drought, she and Huo Xiaoyan pretended to travel in the name of travel. Secretly go to Nagasawa (water) and buy water polo.
Passing by Xiangrui (soil), early summer met a suitor who fell in love with her at first sight, the man clumsily followed and followed, and was caught and beaten every time. Huo Chuxia didn't even bother to ask the name, so he gave a nickname stupidly instead.
When he bought a water polo in Nagasawa (water), he accidentally revealed his identity and was besieged by the master of water immortal cultivation. accidentally fell into the lake, clumsily sacrificed his life to save him in the monstrous waves, and was swept away by the water after giving the object of love in early summer.
Stupid seems to be an auspicious (earth) person, dressed plainly and clumsy, and is just an ordinary person.
Huo Wuwu listened while sitting at the table and putting together the pieces, carefully gluing them together. After finishing the talk in early summer, he also finished sticking: Liu Qingche, the prince of Yongcang (wood), encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation. Immortal cultivators who need the spiritual power of fire combine and double cultivate, and it is said that the little son of the Zunguo Zun Guo has a good talent for fire and spiritual power. I am willing to treat her with the courtesy of the princess, and ask for a worry-free son to tie the fairy fate.
The old man surnamed Liu is not dead, he had the idea of beating my mother at the beginning, and now TMD dares to blatantly peep at the master, and really wants to burn him.
"Sister Chuxia, are you planning to marry him?"
Pulling out a small piece of earth spirit from the middle of his neck and sticking it to his chest, Huo Chuxia said, "Well, unless he says in person that he doesn't like me and won't marry me." ”
"Sister, uncle is angry, don't go back, just live here. I told my aunt that I slept in the study at night. Huo Wuwu looked at the swollen whip marks behind the back of early summer, and thought that he knew the taste of this whip, but it really hurt!
Bring it to the door, and send someone to deliver a letter to my aunt. Looking down at the crumpled Yongcang (wood) stuck together and clutched, he replied, "Red face and troubled water, red face and troubled water--red face and troubled water--"
The fire flashed, and the letter burned in the young man's tender palm, shook his hand, and went straight to the imperial study.
The five countries of the Central Plains are gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the red flame (fire) and Changze (water) attribute restraint, they are eager for the red flame (fire) to die and the specifier cannot be borrowed; and Lingrui (gold) is not in contact with the fire because of the flame; now Yongcang (wood) is not good; that is to say, only the auspicious (earth) ugly ghost who can borrow grain to cross the country.
