Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Refugees Are Coming

In the stargazing pavilion in the early morning, Xiangqing came in with food and said happily: "Princess, there is lotus seed white jade porridge that you like to drink today." As he spoke, he placed his things on the log table.

"Oh, got it. Lin Xiaoyou responded lightly, walked over and sat down and took the porridge handed over by Xiangqing. "Lord Wang, are you there?"

"No, I heard from other people, it seems that the prince hurriedly entered the palace last night, and he hasn't come back yet. ”

"Oh" Lin Xiaoyou was a little surprised, and asked Zhengse, "What happened?"

Xiangqing shook her head, "I don't know." ”

"Then forget it, you go and help me call Sister Lan and accompany me to the street. ”

After breakfast, Lin Xiaoyou took Lan Yu out of the house. The streets are full of people coming and going. Lin Xiaoyou walked quietly unusually, not like shopping in the past, take a look here, look there.

"Miss, what are you trying to do here?" Lan Yu asked curiously.

"Sister Lan, I suddenly had an idea to tell you, so I didn't even bring incense with me. ”

"Miss, please speak. ”

"I asked you about my mother, but you never mentioned it. Well, I won't ask now, because I suddenly thought about where to start. Generally, large families will have some industries under their names and do their own business, and the Lin Mansion should not be excluded. ”

"This" Lan Yu hesitated a little, meaning so clearly, if she didn't understand, she would be a fool.

Lin Xiaoyou had a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, she didn't care about Lan Yu's attitude at all, it didn't matter if she said it or not, she just sent someone to investigate, everything was clear.

"I've been thinking about what to do for so long, and I wanted to ask you about the matter of the mother being decided. But now I don't have to, no matter what, I want to get this qiē back, so why bother so much, right?"

"Madame doesn't want Madame to do that, she doesn't want you to take revenge. Lan Yu hurriedly moved out of Yan Huirong to stop him, hoping that Lin Xiaoyu would change his mind.

"They value money, power, and status, so I'll deprive them one by one, and cut off their financial routes first, what do you think?" Lin Xiaoyou didn't seem to hear Lan Yu's dissuasion, and talked about his plan.

Lan Yu followed behind, sighing lowly, a little inexplicably sad, she still couldn't stop her determination to take revenge after all.

"Sister Lan. Lin Xiaoyou, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned to look at her, and said seriously: "My mother is gone, now I am the only one by my side who is my dearest, you can not help me, but you must not stop me." ”

"I'm sorry, miss, but I promised Madame to take good care of you, and I don't want anything wrong with you. Lan Yu explained guiltily.

Lin Xiaoyou nodded and pulled Lan Yu's arm, "Well, I know, I'll be fine, because I also promised my mother." Let's go, we'll take a look and go back. ”

The two swept away the previous dullness, laughed and walked forward. As I was walking, I suddenly heard a burst of fragrance wafting in, and on the street, there was a hot bag that had just come out of the cage in front of a small stall, which was steaming hot, and the fragrance was fragrant. Seeing this, I was suddenly a little sad, remembering that I used to sneak down the mountain and play around, and I would be caught by my senior brother and brought back to the mountain, but every time I went back, he would buy himself a bunch of delicious food.

Thinking about looking over there, her footsteps involuntarily slowed down, looking at her stunned expression, Lan Yu thought that she was not full for breakfast, so she ran over happily, and when she came back, she was holding a pack of fragrant buns in her hand.

"Miss, eat quickly!"

Looking at her bright smile, Lin Xiaoyou shook her head with a wry smile, "Sister Lan, you eat, I'm not hungry." ”

She can see it so distracted even if she is not hungry, knowing that she must be thinking about the past again, Lan Yu is steady and meticulous, and she does not pierce her heart, "Miss doesn't eat, then I'll eat it myself." As he spoke, he picked one up and ate it very carefully.

After walking for a while, a street is basically almost strolled, and the two are about to go back to the gate of the city, and they are about to go back, when they suddenly find that the crowd in front of them began to be chaotic, and the vendors on the street and the pedestrians on the road have fled quickly to their homes.

When Lin Xiaoyou was wondering, he saw a group of refugees in ragged clothes, unkempt, and yellow muscles. In the meantime, there were men, women and children, and the shouting and crying were mixed together, which was miserable.

No wonder the people on the street were all afraid to avoid it, Lin Xiaoyou and the others were so frightened by the scene in front of them that they stayed in place, and they didn't know how to dodge.

Lan Yu swallowed her saliva with difficulty, took Lin Xiaoyu's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Beggars, how can there be so many beggars." ”

"This doesn't look like a beggar, it looks like a refugee!" Lin Xiaoyou replied. Usually it's fine, Xiahou Yichen won't run to the palace, and he won't necessarily go if he is invited, but this morning Xiangqing said that he went to the palace last night and didn't return overnight, if it weren't for the strict situation, he wouldn't be like this.

As he spoke, the refugees of the number three or four hundred crowded over in groups of three or five, and as long as they saw that there were snacks selling on the street, they all went up to grab food, and the frightened others did not dare to do business.

"Girl, it's okay, let's enjoy some food!"

"Kind young lady, just take pity on us, we haven't eaten for a long time. ”

In the blink of an eye, the refugees gathered in front of them, and everyone stared at the buns in Lan Yu's hands with green eyes. The two of them have never experienced such a situation, and they don't know what to do for a while. I was anxious and afraid.

"What should I do? Lan Yu asked anxiously.

Lin Xiaoyou shook her head, she didn't know what to do now. Pulling Lan Yu carefully and slowly retreating step by step, the refugees in front of him also followed step by step. Knowing that there was no way to go on like this, when he was thinking about what to do, Lan Yu's hand shook, and the bun he was holding rolled down in two.

At this moment, the refugees were like crazy, and they all slammed down on the ground to grab the two buns. Luckily, the two buns rolled far away from them, or they would have lunged at them. The two were frightened, Lin Xiaoyou screamed, suddenly snatched the remaining buns in Lan Yu's hand and threw them into the distance, then pulled her up and ran.

The refugees were so hungry that they had long lost their minds, and a few buns were enough to send them away, and a dense group of people chased them like ants, rushing towards the center of the city.

The two of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their legs and feet were weak, and in a hurry, Lin Xiaoyou fell to the ground in a hurry.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Lin Xiaoyou looked at the refugees who were about to catch up behind him, and shouted: "I'm fine, Sister Lan, run quickly and move the rescuers." ”

As soon as her words fell, all the people rushed up, trampling on her, kicking her, and finally someone lifted her up, pulling her all the food. Lin Xiaoyou was crowded in the crowd, with goosebumps all over his body, and he couldn't run out at all.

"Miss. Get out of the way, you get out of the way. Lan Yu rushed over desperately outside and squeezed into the crowd, but there were too many people, and she couldn't squeeze in. What should she do? She promised Madame to take good care of Miss.

At this moment, the gong sounded and the refugees all stopped and looked to the side. Taking advantage of this vacancy, Lin Xiaoyou was finally able to take a breath, but he felt that his body was weak, and he couldn't lift his feet if he wanted to run. Suddenly, a long figure fell into the crowd in a flash, and with a light and quick movement, he hugged her and volleyed around, standing on a carriage outside the crowd.

"Why are you here?" a familiar voice sounded in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw Xiahou Yichen with a blue face, looking at her with angry cold eyes and questioning. It was too chaotic just now, and I don't know when he came.

Thinking of the scene just now, Lin Xiaoyou still had palpitations, seeing him at this moment was like seeing a savior, and his heart calmed down. I don't care what the three chapters of the covenant are, what are the differences between men and women, let him hold himself.

"We want steamed buns, give us something to eat. ”

"Yes, we want steamed buns, give us steamed buns. ”

"Give us something to eat, give us something to eat. The refugees, who had just calmed down, recovered from the shock and began to riot again, approaching the carriage.

Xiahou Yichen glanced at everyone with a cold light in his eyes, and said quietly: "Ming, from now on, anyone within three feet of the carriage will be killed-none-no-. Gently spit out the last few words, the sound was not loud, but it was enough for the people under his feet to hear.

The refugees stopped again in horror, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know whether to move on or not.

Seeing that what he said had worked, Xiahou Yichen said again: "If you are interested, go out of the city immediately and camp outside the city, and this king will distribute food to you." Otherwise, there is nothing, and if you continue to make trouble, then there will be no forgiveness. ”

"Why should we trust you?" shouted one of the refugees.

"Hmph, this king Xiahou Yichen has never spoken and doesn't count. ”

"Ah, you, are you the prince?" Hearing his name, the refugees were full of discussions, and their words and expressions all revealed awe and fear.

Is Xiahou Yichen terrifying? Lin Xiaoyou looked up, his deep black eyes were firm, his handsome and uncast silhouette was expressionless, and in the early morning sun, the whole portrait was shrouded in golden light, and the evil and domineering spirit gathered together, he stood fixedly, his noble demeanor was like a god, dazzling and suffocating.

Lin Xiaoyou couldn't help but look a little obsessed, from the time the two met to the present, she had been thinking about her senior brother in her heart, and she didn't pay too much attention to him, she saw him lazy and lazy on weekdays, doing nothing all day long, only laughing at her with a hippie smile, and she was still very resistant in her heart. But at this moment, his unusual, rigorous and calm appearance completely crushed her previous thoughts, and the question came to her mind again, what kind of person are you?

The underground refugees talked for a while, no one said anything, and obediently withdrew from the city. Prove by their deeds that they believe in Him.

Watching them retreat, Xiahou Yichen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he lowered his head, he met Lin Xiaoyu's gaze. He regained his previous unruly appearance, and teased: "Have you seen enough?"

A strong masculine heat rushed to his face, Lin Xiaoyou only felt that the blood in his body was circulating rapidly, his heart was beating violently, and his face was red to the base of his neck. Looking away, he said embarrassedly, "They're gone." ”

"Well, they are the victims of the disaster in the Yanli area of the north, which is one of the most barren places in our country, and last winter there was heavy snowfall, and this year there is a light rain at the beginning of spring, many houses have collapsed, and the fertile land has no harvest, and the people are sick and plagued by it, so they must not be allowed to enter the city. Xiahou Yichen explained.

"Then you came out of the palace to prevent them from entering the city?"

"Of course, but if this king doesn't come, you'll die. ”

Lin Xiaoyou was unconvinced, but he also knew that he was telling the truth, he looked at the Ming who was holding the gong below, and then looked at Xiahou Yichen, and said with some disbelief: "The officers and soldiers at the city gate can't stop it, and the two of you dare to come." ”

"For this king is not an ordinary man. Xiahou Yichen said with a smile.

The two of them spoke casually, not noticing how ambiguous their current postures were.

"Miss. Lan Yu shouted and ran over in the distance.

"I'm fine, Sister Lan. As soon as she jumped out of the car, Lan Yu hugged her, both of them were frightened by what had just happened, and now they were relieved to see that each other was fine.

"Okay, let's go back!" Xiahou Yichen urged beside him.

Sitting in the carriage back to the house, Xiahou Yichen leaned on the side with a calm face and pretended to sleep, the more Lin Xiaoyou thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, knowing that he had not slept all night, he still couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wang, how do you plan to settle such refugees?"

"What do you think?" Xiahou Yichen didn't care about her question, and asked lightly with his eyes closed.

"Then leave this matter to me!" Lin Xiaoyu boldly asked.

Listening to her words, Xiahou Yichen opened his eyes and glanced at her in surprise, "The lesson just now was forgotten so quickly, and you are saying that you are not afraid that the plague will find you?"

"I'm serious, I'm not kidding. Lin Xiaoyu stubbornly argued.

This decision not only surprised Xiahou Yichen, Lan Yu also stared at Lin Xiaoyou in disbelief, her young lady is fine, she was frightened and panicked in the last second, and she had to settle those refugees in the next second, what if she was infected with the plague.

"Reason" Xiahou Yichen simply spit out two words, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate.

"Being kind to others doesn't need a reason. ”

There was silence for a while, Lin Xiaoyou thought that he would not agree, and when he was about to continue lobbying, Xiahou Yichen finally relented, "Okay, this king will send someone to help you." ”
