Li Shimin left Shan Bing'er, turned around thoughtlessly on the street, walked through the lively street market, walked through the corridor selling paper umbrellas, and strolled across the long stone bridge, but for some reason, he felt unprecedented sadness and loneliness in the bustle. He shook his head, trying to pretend to be cynical. But when she was returning home, she ran into the carriage of the eldest grandson Ningxi, who looked like a housekeeper carrying a wooden food box back, and her personal maid was helping her out of the carriage.

Seeing Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Ning Xi subconsciously wanted to speak.

was stopped by Li Shimin; "Don't say it." A little servant stepped forward to lead the horse, and the horse let out a low neigh, and turned around and walked in the direction of the stable, and there was a sound of "da-da". The eldest grandson Ningxi looked at Li Shimin's back, and the sentence "she is gone" still couldn't bear to speak after all.

"Ning Xi, I know everything." Li Shimin's voice was as light as a feather, his voice was hoarse, there was a maid cleaning the courtyard at the gate, and he couldn't help but wonder how the second son, who had always been suave, was so abnormal today, and when he looked up, he was also startled.

The eldest grandson, Ning Xi, also felt that something was wrong, and reached out to pull Li Shimin: "Second son-"

Li Shimin's face was full of tears, he shook off the hand of the eldest grandson Ning Xi, wiped his face hard, and couldn't care about any image: "Ning Xi, I will reach the age where I can marry a wife this year, but she is gone." ”

“——”

Since Ruyue left, Li Shimin has returned to the elusive realm, the eldest grandson Ning Xi was accepted by Li Yuan as a goddaughter, and still lives in Li's mansion, but I don't know when a touch of sadness also climbed her brows, she read and danced and practiced calligraphy, and went to give Li Yuan tea and beat his back, without mentioning Li Shimin, as if she had never liked this man.

A few days later.

The light rain has been falling continuously for several days, and the street is finally quiet, and the inn is deserted, so the little guy has to wipe the wooden table over and over again, and even the boss can't stop napping. Mu Qingyang packed up his salute and saw Shan Bing'er standing at the door, looking at the empty bluestone path.

He sighed, put on his robe, and also put on Shan Bing'er: "Don't look at it, it's time to leave." ”

"Does he like that girl very much, Brother Mu?" Shan Bing'er muttered to herself. Look at the drizzle outside.

Mu Qingyang didn't speak, but just spoke: "I'll lead the horse." ”

Since leaving Taiyuan, Ruyue and his party have encountered countless hungry people along the way. Even on the road, he encountered starving corpses.

"Madame, let's get something to eat." Once again, their carriage was stopped.

"Fuck off." There was a soldier's rough voice, accompanied by the cry of the little girl: "A-Niang~"

Ruyue couldn't help but open the curtain: "Stop." ”

As far as the eye can see, countless homeless people with burdens on their backs or pushing carts are fleeing in the opposite direction to them.

The woman's clothes were rough, her face was withered, and she seemed to faint from hunger.

Ruyue hurriedly got out of the car, and despite Yuwen Chengdu's opposition, she asked Donghua to take water and food, and handed it to the little girl.

She laboriously used her tongue to dry lips, but she still fed her mother what she drank.

Her mother finally woke up.

"Where are you from?" Ruyue asked.

The woman said in a hoarse voice: "The people of Chang'an are not living well now, and they all say that Li Yuan of Taiyuan is a living bodhisattva, and he built a homeless village in Taiyuan, and the old woman fled to Taiyuan with everyone. ”

Ruyue looked around, all of them were homeless people who fled in a hurry with their luggage, each with a serious expression, ignoring others and only caring about hurrying.

"Isn't Chang'an at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and no one cares?"

"Oh, girl, the old woman advises you to go back, all girls in Chang'an who are over thirteen years old have been arrested and sent to the palace, such as today's good swimming, and the man was arrested to dig the Grand Canal as a strong man." She gulped down the dry food and slowly gained strength to speak.

Ruyue told Donghua to give her some water to drink food, but she didn't stop, and hurriedly left with everyone.

Ruyue turned around and stared at Yuwen Chengdu.

He said lightly: "Princess, get in the car." ”

"Have you ever seen it in the Hajj?" The sky was already a little dark, and Ruyue spoke softly.

"Nope." He turned his back to Ruyue, who couldn't see his expression. "None of those who have gone to school have survived until now."

"I see." Ruyue didn't ask any further, turned around and got into the carriage, the carriage made a squeaking sound when it moved, but Ruyue felt that there were countless corpses lying on both sides of the road, their eyes widened, and they were only hungry and only skin and bones were left, and the cold wind around them was blowing louder and louder.

Sama Ge woke up, walked out of the door and saw a familiar figure wielding her luxurious sword with huge gems, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly tried her best, accompanied by the sound of the door "squeaking", there was no expected babbling, Mu Qingyang frowned, and continued to practice the sword.

And Samago in the room was desperately slapping his face at this time, and there was a feeling of pain on his face, she was sure that it was not a dream, and quickly ran to the bronze mirror, took out rouge and gouache and wiped it on his face.

When Sama Ge went out again, Mu Qingyang had already put away his sword and was about to go back to his room to rest, seeing Samago's appearance at the moment, he couldn't help but stop, and even Qin Shubao, who was drinking porridge, choked heavily.

I saw two lumps of red rouge on Samago's face, and his lips were not described, and he almost entered his nostrils.

Samago saw everyone's reaction, and thought that he was triumphantly amazed everyone.

"Ahh She pretended to be charming and walked in front of Mu Qingyang, "I thought about it for a long time after you left, it must be that I am too rude on weekdays to provoke Ah Key's dislike, and now I am dressed in a way that can get into Ah Key's eyes?" ”

Mu Qingyang only felt goosebumps all over his body, he lowered his head and looked at Samago, who was pretending to be a bird, and knocked her hand off: "Now it seems that it is even more hideous." ”

After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

Sama was almost crazy on the spot alone, but was stopped by Qin Shubao who got up, and he hurriedly rounded the field: "If Ah Jian comes back, I can leave with confidence." ”

Sama didn't care about settling accounts with Mu Qingyang: "Brother Qin, where are you going?" ”

Qin Shubao's voice also stopped Mu Qingyang's footsteps, he was already an important person in Mu Qingyang's heart. He stared at his reaction.

"I heard that the backer king Yang Lin is going to Linxian, I am willing to try my luck, and now the backer king Guang has a righteous son, it's time to contribute to the country." Qin Shubao hurriedly explained.

Yang Lin - Mu Qingyang hadn't heard this person's name for a long time in a trance, he had harmed his father-in-law, and he had never been able to return to Chang'an, thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench the sword in his hand.

"Mu Yue, what's wrong with you?" Qin Shubao saw that something was wrong with Mu Qingyang, stepped forward, and asked with concern.

"Nothing." Mu Qingyang shook his head, turned around and returned to his room, leaving Qin Shubao thoughtfully in place.
