Chapter 40: Someone Is Trying to Overthrow Me!
The porridge is still gruel, but the steamed buns are different from that day, they are hot. I thought www.biquge.info they were deliberately giving me the prisoner to eat, but later I learned from Han Yan that this was the food of the villagers.
After being hungry for so long, I drank vigorously with gruel, and next to me was Han Yan, who was chattering.
She is Han Zhuang's younger sister, and she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but she is different from the girls I have seen. Those girls were all fair-skinned, with round faces and red cheeks, while Han Yan in front of her was radiant, but she was thin and her face exuded a pale face of insufficient nutrition.
"Girl, can I call you sister?" Han Yan sat down across from me generously and pouted, "My sister looks older than me, and it sounds weird to be called 'girl'." ”
"You can do what you like, I don't mind. I grabbed the steamed bun and took a bite, completely losing the consciousness of being in the enemy's den, "Your village is really special, I haven't seen it so big, and it's really enviable to have your own guard." I cast an admiring look at the patrol outside.
Han Yan smiled: "My sister smiled, they are all warriors trained by my father and elder brother. Our village is actually an expanded shadow of the Minsheng Hall, and everyone knows how to do that. As she spoke, she gestured at the fight.
"You mean, they're ...... Warrior?" I slurred as I swallowed the steamed bun that I hadn't had time to swallow. I couldn't help but glance outside, and found that it was not only men, but also women in some patrols.
What kind of place is this? I retracted my gaze, but Han Yan supported her chin with her hands and looked at the people outside: "These people are all poor people, everyone has a heavy past, and they are also burdened with the heavy responsibility of changing the fate of themselves and their relatives. We are gathered to overthrow the incompetent Qi family and punish the corrupt and bloated Wei family - we want to take back the justice that belongs to Wolong Valley and do the right thing for heaven!"
My hand holding the porridge bowl paused suddenly, and then slowly put it down. She said that they want to overthrow the Qi family, and punish the Wei family?
Han Yan didn't notice the change in me, in order to hide the shock in my heart, I continued to nibble on the steamed bun in my hand, but the steamed bun that was originally sweet was like chewing wax in my mouth at this time.
"Five years ago, my hometown was flooded. Half of a village with hundreds of homes was buried by the landslide, and the rest was washed away by the flood, and people who survived waited for government rescue in another village. However, what was waiting for them were grains of rice mixed with sand and clothes that had been bitten by rats. That's not a small amount, those people even asked us for the 'hard-earned money' to deliver disaster relief supplies!"
Speaking of this, Han Yan's clear eyes were full of hatred, and she suddenly turned her head to look at me: "Sister, you say, where do the people who have only one cheap life left have money for them?" I was stunned, and the steamed buns in my mouth were like a fish in my throat.
"There was no money, so they pulled it all back. Everyone knelt and begged them to leave their supplies, and even their heads were broken, and they didn't look back. My father did not believe in evil and left his seriously ill mother and young brother and me alone in the city to ask for help. However, instead of waiting for our father's help, we waited for the plague after the disaster...... Many people died in agony, including their mothers. People in neighboring villages were also infected, and people were sick and dying everywhere, but the government sealed us inside. We, the people, can't see the Qi family, and we can't see the Wei family above 10,000 people under one person. We have been abandoned by the Dragon City, abandoned by our own city lord......"
Han Yan's words made my heart tremble, how could this be? Isn't there an official in Fenglong City who specializes in disaster management and relief for the people? Besides, after so long, I have never heard of any problems in post-disaster resettlement.
"So, after my father came back from defeat, he came to us and established the Compassion Hall. It only houses the miserable people who were persecuted by the Qi family and the Wei family, as well as those who were devastated by natural disasters. Han Yan's eyes lit up, and she grabbed my hand and held it tightly: "Sister, aren't your brothers and sisters also people who were hunted down and killed by the Qi family?
"I ......" I tried to swallow the steamed bun, but I didn't know what to say with my lips open, cold sweat was already breaking out on my back, and I felt cold in my hands and feet. If I want me to be happy, I will say to those who want to overthrow my rule and kill me, "Okay!
Han Yan thought I was worried, so she pulled me to the door: "Sister, don't be afraid, don't you see which of them is not a person who wants to scrape the lord and the minister with a knife? Even a woman can carry a knife into battle! Since my father was instructed by nobles who also hated the Qi and Wei families to establish a village here three years ago, we have grown to more than 2,000 people. Every day, everyone will perform martial arts in the grass in front of the waterfall and practice their fighting skills. ”
"And those who cannot hold swords and carry swords are here to sew rattan armor and bake dry food and herbs. Just one day, he rushed into the inner city and cut down the Qi family's lord and the Wei family's ministers! From then on, the world was warm, and there were no more miserable and helpless poor people. In order to weaken the power of the Qi family and the Wei family, the elder brother also carried out two assassinations with the help of nobles, but unfortunately there was no big gain. ”
I looked at a woman who was sewing rattan armor with misty eyes, but I was thinking about another thing in my heart, Wei Jingyuan said that the bow and crossbow obtained by the assassins were not counterfeit fakes, they got them through the "nobleman" in Han Yan's mouth?
"But the noble man said that it was enough to provoke the two of them to disagree, and the mediocre lord and the minister will definitely fight among themselves, and then it will be a good time for us to attack and occupy Fenglong City. It's a pity that the Father can't see this victory anymore......"
Han Yan sighed lightly, and the girl's face was covered with sadness that did not belong to her age. I came back to my senses and shook her hand: "Ling Zun has a spirit in the sky, he will be happy for you." I said this awkwardly, I sympathized with the girl in front of me, but I was afraid that their actions would ruin the Qi family's five-hundred-year foundation and the peace of Fenglong City.
After a period of conflicting struggles in my heart, I finally decided to try to find out who the noble person in Han Yan's mouth was. I breathed steadily, and said in a tone of adoration as much as I could: "Do you know that very powerful nobleman?
Han Yan shook his head lightly: "I don't know who it is, only the immortal father, as well as my uncle and brother have seen him." Like you, sister, I look forward to meeting this great benefactor who has helped us so much one day. ”
She looked up at me with sincere hope in her eyes.
