Chapter 166: Reinforcements

Thinking that with the arrangement of the imperial court, there must be a stable life to live in the future, they were willingly driven into the woods outside the city, sleeping in the open air, hungry and full, waiting for the arrival of a new day.

But before the evening of the fourth day, the master who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping at the nearby Digong Temple came to them and told them that they must ask them to go to the Digong Temple before dark, otherwise they would suffer after a heavy downpour.

Some people laughed at Master for going crazy, knowing that the moon was about to come out, so how could it be a rainy day?

So a group of people laughed at him, and when they still refused to leave, they wanted to beat them again.

The master told them not to regret it, and to leave with their heads in their hands.

But several people believed that it would rain at night, including him.

Judging from their ragged clothes and complexions, we know that the refugees who have been displaced here from other places are already extremely happy to be able to eat tree bark and wild grass every day, so how can they still have money to add sesame oil?

Therefore, the master is definitely not here to deceive them, and as for the reason for doing such a thing, I am afraid it is not convenient to say it in public.

Thinking about it, what could be the reason why Master is so difficult to speak?

He looked at the impoverished refugees and the court people who had not appeared for a long time, and a very bad conjecture appeared in his mind at that time.

Immediately, he decided to leave with Master, and even thought that Master was walking too slowly, thinking that he could get out of this group of refugees as soon as possible, and the farther away the better.

After arriving at the Land Gong Temple, the Master pushed away the Land Gong statue. Let a dozen of them hide in the cellar below.

At that time, some people were unwilling, and along the way, I heard a lot of horrific rumors of people eating people, those who were hungry were about to die, and human nature was also mad, killing people and eating meat without mercy. Seeing that this master is thin and small, his eyes are bright, and he doesn't know how many days he has been starving, maybe he has to lock them all up in the cellar and eat them slowly.

People are talking to each other and trembling. Undaunted, he stepped into the cellar first.

Both front and back are dead. It's better to bet on this one.

At last, he was joined by seven men, stone statues pressed against their heads, surrounded by bright torches and food. And clean bedding.

No moon sunlight is visible. I don't know the time. They couldn't hear the sound outside, and they were tormented in the cellar.

It seems that after several years of spring and autumn, the stone statue above the head has finally been removed. The sun was shining brightly, and everyone felt like a world away.

They walked out one by one, and the master had already prepared breakfast for them to eat, and there was not a word of superfluity.

Some people thought it strange and planned to leave without breakfast, because they saw that the woods and mud outside were dry, and it was clear that it didn't rain last night.

This master is strange and doesn't know what he's up to.

The crowd whispered, but he listened to it in his ears and was silent. Until these people found an excuse to go out and get some air, he secretly followed behind them, all the way carefully back to the place where the refugees were stationed.

However, the place was empty, except for the shocking stains of blood.

The blood was still fresh, spilling on the leaves, trees, clothes and burdens, silently sliding across the leaves, falling on the mud, and melting into the dirt.

They were startled and searched around, but they did not see these people who had been walking together for a long time.

Those people seemed to disappear into thin air overnight.

He knew then that his conjecture was right.

The imperial court never thought of rehousing them, because the world was not peaceful everywhere, and there were countless refugees, and they were constantly flocking to the capital, and when it did not stop, it was far from enough to solve it once or twice, and the only way to completely solve this problem was to completely make them disappear from the world.

The so-called "resettlement" is just to get rid of them, so that there will be no more suffering.

They were terrified and returned to the Land Gong Temple.

Master explained that this was not the first time that the imperial court had killed refugees, and the dead were dragged directly to a pit deep in the woods and buried. After he realized the evil deeds of the imperial court, he tried to save these suffering people several times, but the world was dangerous, and no one would trust strangers at all, so he was able to save only a few people at a time, and told them that all the temples and Taoist temples would have similar cellars, so that the refugees could temporarily take refuge and escape the search of the officials.

Although this temple is not the original one, the cellar is the same.

Qin Ji recalled the past many years ago and felt a lot of emotion, but he also knew that this was not the time to sigh.

He pointed to the entrance of the cave and instructed Hang Yang: "Use the things you brought from the shipyard to arrange it, and move faster." ”

The reason why he came to the shipyard today was that in addition to the emperor's instructions to see the progress of the construction, there was another thing - the craftsmen went on strike because of the wages, and there was a lot of trouble. The craftsmen who could not get paid threatened to blow up the shipyard and make the emperor's dream come true.

If the shipyard is really blown up, the emperor will go crazy, and no one will be able to eat and walk around.

Although he will not suffer, it is better that the emperor will not go crazy.

The officials in charge couldn't hold it down, so he had to go out in person.

Now it seems that these craftsmen were most likely bought by the Yue family so that they could lead him to the shipyard and then do it halfway.

He's not going to let them get complacent, he's going to go home to see his branches.

Hang Yang immediately called for people to decorate, although there were not many people, but he did things in an orderly manner and quickly arranged the cellar. Qin Ji personally went down to inspect it, and then asked people to catch a few pheasants nearby and throw them in.

"Childe, those people are less than fifty feet away from here. "Someone came to report it.

"Okay, let's get out of here. Qin Ji waved his hand, leaving one person at the door as bait, and then led the others to hide behind a nearby boulder, and then quietly hid his figure in the dark.

After a while, there was a rustling movement all around, and it became more and more desolate under the moonlight. It seems that a swaying figure can be seen.

Qin Ji narrowed his eyes, motionless, and even his breathing slowed down a lot.

In the dark night, it seemed that someone passed by them, and then a shout sounded, "Look, the one surnamed Qin is there, catch him quickly."

A fierce wind suddenly swept around him, and several figures rose and fell, and a hungry wolf pounced on the broken temple.

When the killers all gathered in the ruined temple. Discover the cellar used to hide. And after hearing the movement inside, he gathered around with a smile, intending to catch turtles in the urn.

Just as a few people had already descended the cellar, a figure scurried behind them like the wind. Take out the fire fold. After blowing up the Martian seed. Throw it in hard, and at the same time pounce outside.

There was a "boom", and the earth shook.

Qin Ji covered his ears. Standing behind the boulder, watch as the ruined temple is torn apart by the impact of the explosion, and billowing smoke rises.

"Settle the rest. He coldly ordered.

The guards drew their swords and stepped forward, catching the killers who rushed out of the ruins by surprise.

He didn't give it a second look and turned away.

He had been out there for too long, and he had to go back to the city as soon as possible, not to let Zhizhi worry for too long.

Also, the hidden danger of the Yue family must also be dealt with as soon as possible.

I was worried about King Yi and the Southern Tour before, thinking that the Yue family was just an ant generation, and I didn't have enough to worry about, so I relaxed a little. After this time, he will definitely not let go.

Otherwise, if the Yue family fails this time, I don't know what kind of things they will do again.

His steps were getting faster and faster, and he couldn't wait to fly back to the capital, but the shouts of killing and the sound of swords clashing behind him couldn't slow him down at all.

"Childe be careful!"

Suddenly, Hang Yang let out a loud shout, and at the same time, Qin Ji felt a gust of wind sweep towards his cheeks.

The comers are not mediocre.

Qin Ji drew his saber and held it in front of him.

The sharp weapon slammed into his sword, causing him to tear his mouth apart, and the long sword almost flew out.

"Villain, take your life!" The visitor shouted: "Come on, the villain surnamed Qin is here!"

Qin Ji squinted his eyes, and in front of him was a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a head higher than him, like a mountain in front of him.

He stepped back with force on his feet, quickly backing away, intending to get around the man by touching the advantage of his dexterity.

This man's strength is enormous, and there is no benefit in going head-to-head.

He was thinking like this, but who knew that the figure in front of him flickered, and the big man actually shook in front of him with agility, blocking the way here.

The big man raised the sledgehammer in his hand, and the iron chain "clanged", carrying a strong wind, and smashed it into the top of Qin Ji's head.

"You don't have the ability to escape!"

The food on the side of the reheated pot was put on the table, and the hot air spread on Yu Mingzhi's face, she suddenly covered her mouth, retched a few times, and her brows were tangled together, which seemed to be very uncomfortable.

Mrs. Yu hurriedly asked, "Mingzhi, what's wrong with you?

Yu Mingzhi waved his hand, "It's about sitting for a long time, it's boring, it doesn't matter." ”

As soon as she finished saying this, she retched a few more times.

Mrs. Yu and Princess Cheng looked stunned at the same time, and the latter asked hesitantly: "It's good to be like this suddenly, for the sake of prudence, it's better to find a doctor to take a look?"

That being said, it can be seen that Mrs. Yu and she should be thinking about the same thing.

Zhu'er, who was holding Yu Mingzhi, said coldly: "Speaking of which, Mrs. has not ...... this month."

"Really?!" Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Yu understood, and looked at her daughter in surprise, "Mingzhi, is it true?"

"It seems to be ......" Yu Mingzhi looked confused, "but these days have always been a little inaccurate." ”

Mrs. Yu said: "Then I have to find a doctor to take a look." She instructed Du's mother, who was waiting on the side, "Please send someone to ask the doctor to come over." Zhu'er, you quickly help Mingzhi back to the house and lie down. ”

"How can you be so squeamish. Yu Mingzhi said with a smile.

"It's better to pay more attention. Princess Cheng looked at her meaningfully.

Yu Mingzhi stared at her eyes before responding, "Okay." ”

Mrs. Yu looked at their expressions and vaguely felt that something was deliberately hidden from her. But now is not the time to ask, Zhang Luo sent his daughter back to the wing.

A short time later, the doctor came. The servants and maids who got the news also gathered outside the courtyard, and compared with the tense atmosphere before, they were now a little more nervous and expectant.

Mrs. Yu and Miss Yu Er didn't know what happened before, but they all knew it, and they had also experienced days of fear, which was enough for them to remember for a lifetime.

If Madame has another child, the mansion will be busy.

In the past, there was only one son in the mansion who needed to be served, and later there were more Mrs. and Mrs.'s mother and sister, but there were not many things. Out of the places where it is strictly forbidden to enter and exit, they live freely in the mansion, and they get more wages than people of the same family, and the food and clothing are not bad, even about the same as ordinary young ladies.

But if they really want to be busy, they can handle it.

After all, the stewards' requirements for the servants in the palace have never been lowered, and they want to be well-trained.

It's just that everyone sighed in their hearts that those learned skills finally came to use one day.

Fortunately, it is a housewife like Miss Yu, who is generous and generous, not willful and pretentious, and I think that my life will be better in the future.

They once thought that as a son, they must be given marriage by the emperor and marry a pampered eldest lady of the royal family. They were even ready to be beaten and scolded every day, but they didn't expect that the son would marry a young lady from an approachable official family.

After they got married, their lives were not much different from before.

After experiencing something like that before, if the lady is really pregnant again, they will definitely do their best to protect this child.

The more everyone thought about it, the more high-spirited they became, and they couldn't wait to hold their wives in the palm of their hands and take care of them carefully, and they couldn't even blink their eyes when they looked at the main courtyard, for fear that they would miss the maid coming out and missing the good news.

Just as they were looking at the courtyard gate expectantly, a figure deftly climbed out of the courtyard wall, and the figure quickly disappeared into the night, like a ghost, as if it had never existed, let alone attracted people's attention.

At this time, Yu Mingzhi, who was half-lying on the bed, looked at his mother and Princess Cheng sitting on the edge of the bed with a smile, "You made me nervous......"

Princess Cheng folded the quilt for her and said, "It's really something that should be nervous, but it's just us and Qin Ji who are nervous, you just take care of your body, you don't have to worry about anything." ”

Yu Mingzhi was a little shy, "It's not decided yet." ”

Mrs. Yu looked at the doctor, "What's wrong?"

The doctor slowly opened his closed eyes, "I can't be sure from the pulse, it will take some time." For the sake of prudence, I will make some adjustments to Madame Qin's tonic prescription. ”

When Mrs. Yu heard this, she was slightly disappointed, but quickly regained her spirits, "Trouble you, doctor." ”

"No hassle, no hassle. The doctor smiled and said, "Since we are not sure at this time, there are some things that you must pay attention to." (To be continued.) )
