Chapter 253 The people are bitter when they are rejuvenated, and the people who are dying are bitter
Ling Kun and Shangguan Chengcheng rode on a horse like glue, sweet and sweet, but they were unexpectedly bumped into by Helian Jingying.
Shangguan was embarrassed, hurriedly pushed Ling Kun away, and lowered his head with a red face.
Ling Kun jumped back on his horse and said with a grin, "Sister Jingying, we are very fateful, we met again so soon." ”
"Don't, you say this, some people are going to overturn the vinegar jar again, we, at best, we have no fate." Helian Jingying waved his hand and said, his tone still sour.
Ling Kun's performance in the ancient tomb made her even more amazing, it was a pity that such a young talent could not worship under her pomegranate skirt.
Shangguan Chengcheng has always been very strong, but at this moment, he is ashamed and embarrassed, like a girl next door who has never seen the world, hiding behind Ling Kun and unable to say a word.
"Sister Jingying, where are you going to go next, do you want to go back to Xixia or continue to Sichuan?" Ling Kun asked.
"The matter of the treasure has been settled, and I am going back to Western Xia, but Miss Shangguan, please tell Lingtang, our alliance will continue, and after I go back, I will lead the troops to the direction of Jianmen Pass with the king."
"Okay, we are waiting for the good news from your army." Shangguan Allure raised his head at this time.
"Then I won't get in your way, farewell." Helian Jingying turned on his horse and said goodbye to the two.
After taking a few steps, he turned back to Ling Kun and smiled: "Little brother, if she treats you badly, come back to your sister, and your sister will raise you." ”
Ling Kun made a big black face again when he heard this, did Lao Tzu have three words on his face?
Helian let out a burst of laughter like a silver bell and rode away.
Ling Kun watched Helian Jing's back leave, and suddenly felt a sharp pain at the root of his ear, it turned out that Shangguan Chengcheng was jealous again, and he grabbed his ear and said resentfully: "Stinky rascal, are you still thinking about her, seeing that your eyeballs are about to fall off." ”
Ling Kun begged for mercy again and again: "No, no, she can't even reach half of Senior Sister Allure, how can I worry about her." ”
Shangguan Chengcheng let go of him and said with satisfaction: "It's pretty much the same." ”
Ling Kun rubbed his ears and said, "But the figure is really good." ”
Shangguan Chengcheng was so angry that he stomped his feet and scolded: "Stinky rascal, you still think about her, see how I clean you up." ”
Ling Kun laughed and ran forward.
Shangguan
Allure chased after him, and a string of joyful laughter fell.
It seems that since she was a child, even she herself has never heard such laughter.
A few days later, the two came to Wushan County again, still crossing the river in that big boat. There were also some people from the rivers and lakes who escaped from the ancient tombs on the boat, and when they saw Ling Kun greeting him one after another, they had great respect for him. If it weren't for Ling Kun, maybe they would have died inside.
After getting off the boat, the two found a teahouse on the dock and asked for some food and drink and sat down to rest. But I saw a bustle outside, crowded with refugees in tattered clothes.
Seeing the shopkeeper coming over to pour tea, Ling Kun asked, "Shopkeeper, how can there be so many refugees outside?" ”
The shopkeeper sighed and said: "Hey, the imperial court has been fighting for years, raising taxes year after year, and this year's drought in Guanzhong has not been collected, so people can only flee. Hey, you can't survive anywhere. He shook his head and sighed and left.
Ling Kun and Zhao Mingyue looked at each other, those people were helping the old and the young, gray-headed, chapped lips, the whole family took turns to nibble on a black-faced bun, the child who was waiting to be fed was so hungry that he cried, and the old man was so tired that he couldn't move on the ground.
Seeing this situation, Shangguan Chengcheng frowned deeply.
Ling Kun crouched on the table and stared blankly, suddenly remembering a yuan song in his mind, and involuntarily muttered:
The peaks and peaks are like gathering, the waves are like anger, the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road, looking at the western capital, and the intention is hesitant. Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil. Prosperity, the people suffer, and the people suffer.
When Shangguan Chengcheng heard the last sentence, he suddenly shook his delicate body, and stared at Ling Kun with bright eyes: "What do you mean by that?" ”
Ling Kun sighed: "We are fighting back and forth, no matter who loses or who wins, in the end, it is not these innocent people who suffer?" ”
"That's the people of the Song Dynasty, and the people of our Shu Kingdom are fine." Shangguan Allure retorted.
"The people of the Song Dynasty are also like this because of the war, and the good of the people of Shu is only a superficial phenomenon, this time the treasure was not brought back, and it will not be long before taxes are levied to raise soldiers."
Shangguan Chengcheng's face turned slightly pale, a pair of pink fists were clenched tightly, and after a while, he asked, "Do you want me to give up anti-Song?" ”
"The Great Song Dynasty is innumerable, it is in the development period, and there is no point in rebelling, it can only displace more people and let you go to the official family
of children and grandchildren, for generations, have carried a shackle that cannot be removed. ”
Shangguan Chengcheng's eyes were hot when he heard this, and he couldn't help but shed a string of tears. Indeed, since she was a child, she has carried that invisible spiritual shackle every day, no childhood, no smile, and even a lover in the future.
Ling Kun reached out and stroked her pretty face and gently wiped away her tears.
Shangguan Chengcheng buried his face in Ling Kun's hands, and sighed faintly: "This is the last wish left by the ancestors, the Shangguan family has been fighting for this for hundreds of years, how can it be abandoned halfway from my hands?" ”
"If you don't change, won't our children and grandchildren suffer even more in the future?"
Shangguan Chengcheng shook his head and said, "Hey, now that my mother is in charge, she will definitely not agree, let's talk about this later." ”
"Will you change when you become a house?" Ling Kun asked.
Shangguan Chengcheng raised his head, opened his teary eyes and said, "I listen to you." ”
Ling Kun smiled and said, "Then what's the matter, I'm eating soft rice." ”
Shangguan Chengcheng burst into tears and laughed, punched him and said, "I hate it, who wants you to eat soft rice." ”
Zhao Mingyue traveled all the way, and finally returned to the capital, she didn't have time to rest, she went directly to the palace to see Zhao Heng, and told him that the treasure was indeed there, but it had all been rolled into the bottom of the sea.
Zhao Heng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Mingyue, I said that you can, as long as you go out, there is nothing that can't be done, the third brother has you, and the Great Song Dynasty is enough to be stable." ”
Zhao Mingyue reluctantly smiled and said, "Third brother, I'm tired, go back and rest." ”
Zhao Heng promised again and again to personally send her to the gate of the Long Live Palace.
Zhao Mingyue returned to Wan'an Palace like a walking corpse, and after seeing her mother, she couldn't control it anymore, hugging her and crying bitterly.
Empress Dowager Li burst into tears: "My heart's top son, you are back, why are you crying like this, is it because you have been wronged, tell the queen mother, the queen mother will call the shots for you." ”
Zhao Mingyue cried so much that she couldn't speak at all.
Empress Dowager Li was anxious and asked Shi Jian: "Tell me quickly, what's wrong?" ”
The sword stomped his feet with tears and said, "I met Ling Kun, he is too a bastard." ”
"Why is this again, I just said that I should have killed it with a knife a long time ago, you see this matter is so troublesome." The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, eager to chop Ling Kun into meat sauce.
