Chapter 186: The Famine
Qing Mu couldn't listen to his words at all, and continued to ask: "Who is it that did such a cruel thing to you?" ”
Feng Jingyu's eyes were cold, and he hated: "Who else can it be?" It's that Cloud King Mu Yuan! ”
"It's Mu Yuan again, he's really done all the bad things!" When Qing Mu heard this, he said angrily, pondered for a moment, looked at Feng Jingyu again, and asked with concern: "Brother Feng, tell me, what's going on?" ”
"Hmmm! In fact, it may be that I was too unlucky, I had already escaped from the border of Bolian Country at that time, but later I actually sent a ghost to catch Wang Lin, the entourage of King Yun. ”
In this way, it fell into the hands of Mu Yuan, who had imprisoned me in the palace all this time, and later, because of such a famine, I heard that he was also ordered to provide disaster relief, so he neglected to take precautions against me, and it was I who was able to escape.
"Now that I think about it, there is no place to go, so I came to this most chaotic Jiangnan, thinking like this, Mu Yuan, I may not have the heart to hunt me down for a while!" Feng Jingyu said lightly.
Qing Mu nodded, and his mouth was angry: "It turned out to be him again!" ”
It is said that since Qing Lun was taken away by an unknown person, he was in a hurry, urging the soldiers in the army to look for him again and again, but he found nothing.
At present, the situation around Yuecheng is unclear, and chaos is rampant, since he has obtained a treasure, after the last time the general's mansion Qingmu was poisoned and saved, he cherished this hard-won brother and sister love.
Qinglun held her in the palm of her hand, and a little bump was very distressing, since the death of her mother, there are very few relatives in the world.
However, his father's attitude towards Qingmu, due to the relationship between the second aunt, has always been lukewarm, and he sometimes feels that his father is a little cruel to her, but it is his biological father, and he is not easy to judge.
However, now Qing Mu disappeared for most of the night, but he had no news at all, and his heart was full of torment and self-blame.
At present, Qing Mu has not been able to find it, and he has not found a good way for the time being, so he can only order Adjutant Wang to arrange for someone to enter Yuecheng in advance and secretly visit to see if he can find clues.
Hong Luo in the tent was already washing her face with tears, she couldn't cry herself, she attributed all this to her own fault, so she was very sad in her heart.
Qing Mu was cordial with Feng Jingyu here, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with leaving the camp late at night, let alone knowing that the soldiers in the entire barracks had to search for the entire Yuecheng area for her.
"Brother Feng, you said that Wang Lin arrested you later, what do they want to know from you? I've always doubted this......" Qing Mu stared at Feng Jingyu and asked suspiciously.
Feng Jingyu didn't think about it, and blurted out: "It's not what I told the prince last time!" As soon as he spoke, he immediately woke up and slowly calmed down.
Qing Mu didn't feel his abnormality, and continued to ask: "Tell the prince?" What the hell is going on? ”
Feng Jingyu shook his head, "I want the prince to tell you this personally, it really shouldn't be up to me to speak." ”
When Qing Mu heard this, he was angry: "Hmph! It's the prince again, he doesn't even know who I am now, how can he tell me? ”
Feng Jingyu was greatly surprised, and asked suspiciously: "The prince has amnesia?" ”
"Well, since he came back from Liangcheng last time, he actually remembers everyone, but he doesn't remember me." Qing Mu said in frustration.
"So strange! Then the next time I see the prince, I'm going to help him take a look! Feng Jingyu was secretly happy, seeing Qing Mu who was lost in front of him, after all, his father's efforts were not paid, and Mu Yuan was destined to have no chance in this life.
However, after careful consideration in his heart, he felt that the prince's amnesia might be deliberately avoiding something, but it was not easy to say it now. Although Feng Jingyu changed countless thoughts back and forth in his heart, there was no change on his face.
Qing Mu glanced at Feng Jingyu and asked suspiciously, "Brother Feng, do you have a way?" ”
"Miss Qingmu, don't worry! This matter is wrapped up in Brother Feng, and the custody will be returned to you to the flawless prince! Feng Jingyu said with a smile.
When Qing Mu heard Feng Jingyu's words, he was stunned, his face was ruddy, but he pretended to be calm in his mouth: "Hmph! What is the matter with the prince who is not perfect and the girl is not perfect? He is him, I am me! By the way, you have brought me out for so long, I'm afraid that my brother and they are all in a hurry! ”
"Hmmm! In fact, the prince's illness is also very easy to treat, and only one kind of medicinal material is needed to cure the disease! Feng Jingyu deliberately joked.
Qing Mu was happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of medicinal herb?" Brother Feng, please tell me quickly! ”
"Haha! Miss Qingmu, it's not the prince, it's the prince, are you you? Feng Jingyu said with a smile.
"You...... Hum! Brother Feng, I won't talk to you! Qing Muden woke up and turned around, it turned out that Feng Jingyu was joking with himself, and said angrily.
"Ahh That Qingmu girl, do you want to go back! Your brother is in a hurry, I'm not responsible! Feng Jingyu continued with a smile.
Qing Mu was a little angry, snorted, and turned around to stop looking at Feng Jingyu.
Feng Jingyu looked at Qing Mu, who was a little angry, and confirmed his guess even more, now it seems that everything is developing in a good direction, but now he can't show his face, otherwise, let Mu Yuan and his henchmen know, I'm afraid that it will add to the incident.
I'm afraid that what King Yun wants to ask is exactly what the emperor is eager to know today.
Presumably, even this Luo clan cares about this method of immortality, but only he knows that there is no method of immortality in the world at all, and life cannot last long, let alone others.
Feng Jingyu thought of this, glanced at Qing Mu's shadow again, looked at the little girl who was still angry, smiled slightly, and asked suspiciously: "Miss Qing Mu, don't you ask Brother Feng, where are you now?" ”
Qing Mu was still sulking alone, and suddenly heard Feng Jingyu's words, turned his face to look at him, and found that his face was calm, and he didn't seem to be joking, so he nodded and asked, "Well, then Brother Feng can tell me, where are we now?" ”
Feng Jingyu deliberately played dumb riddles, smiled, and asked rhetorically: "The girl is known as the first female Zhuge in ancient and modern times, with the wisdom of the girl, you might as well guess!" ”
"Hmm!" Qing Mu smiled faintly, got up and paced back and forth in the room, looking at the furnishings in the room, it seemed to be the mansion of a large family, elegantly decorated, luxurious, and secretly surprised. ”
With some doubts in her heart, she turned around and walked straight to Feng Jingyu, and found that he had been staring at her intently, she smiled: "Brother Feng, you won't tell me that this is Yuecheng City, right?" ”
"It's extraordinary! The girl is wise, Brother Feng is convinced! Presumably after a night of hard work, it should be tired, it is better to rest in the side room, Brother Feng will send someone to inform General Qing! Feng Jingyu said praisedly.
Although Qing Mu guessed it, he was still very puzzled in his heart, and asked again: "Brother Feng, how can you have such a good mansion in Yuecheng?" ”
Feng Jingyu laughed, "How can Brother Feng have such a good mansion!" It was originally the residence of a wealthy merchant, but due to the famine in the past two years, they have moved their family to the capital, so they left such an empty house. ”
Since Miss Qingmu likes it, it is better to use this place as a temporary residence in Yuecheng!
When Qing Mu heard his words, he shook his head slowly, "How can this be done?" If we live here, then Brother Feng, you won't ......?"
Feng Jingyu laughed again, "It's okay, the ministers have already left Beijing, presumably the capital is safe, and the eldest brother still has something to do, so I can't accompany you for the time being!" ”
"Brother Feng, are you leaving?" Qing Mu asked suspiciously.
"Of course! Since you have already left the capital, then Mu Yuan must have also left, the eldest brother went back to the capital to do business, if there is something, the eldest brother will naturally go back to you! Feng Jingyu replied.
"Thank you!" Qing Mu said gratefully, now that the dust has settled, suddenly, I felt sleepy, yawned lazily, and smiled: "Brother Feng, then I'm welcome!" ”
On this trip to Yuecheng, this girl decided to stay here and not leave!
"It's no problem to stay as long as you want, you go and rest, turn left and go straight out of this hall, and then turn right after seeing the garden in front of you, it's already packed up, and the candles are lit!" Feng Jingyu stated with a smile.
Qing Mu yawned a few more times in a row, and her little eyelids didn't seem to obey, and she said inarticulately: "Feng ...... Big brother, I won't accompany you, I'll go back to my room to rest! As she spoke, she walked out of the lobby and toward the wings.
"Hmmm! Rest early, general, Brother Feng will naturally notify you, I believe that tomorrow morning, you brothers and sisters will be able to meet! Feng Jingyu replied.
"Well, it's up to Brother Feng to call everything. I'm so sleepy, let's go! After Qing Mu finished speaking, he went out of the door directly, and following Feng Jingyu's reminder, it didn't take long to find the newly cleaned room.
However, Qing Lun searched for a whole night, but there was no news, and the soldiers sent to investigate in Yuecheng City had also returned, and they found nothing, and a trace of fear suddenly appeared in his heart.
Worried that my sister will be in danger, at this time the east has appeared in the fish belly, the sky is slowly brightening, the sergeants have been looking for a night, and they are also very tired, Qinglun is not knowing what to do, suddenly a sound came from afar.
"On the other side, but General Qinglun?"
Qing Lun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "It's exactly here, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”
"General Xiao doesn't need to know who I am, I'm just here to tell the general, don't worry about Miss Qingmu's safety, she is now waiting for the general at the north gate of Yuecheng!" The man said again.
Qing Lun was puzzled in his heart, listening to the voice, the other party's martial arts should be very high, as if he was using the method of transmitting sound for thousands of miles to talk to himself, and from this person's words, it could be heard that the other party had no malicious intent.
Therefore, he had no news of his sister overnight, and the message that suddenly appeared convinced him even more, so he said loudly: "Thank you, Your Excellency! I wonder if Qing is lucky enough to see the true face of Lushan? ”
The man said: "The general takes care of everything, take care of the girl, I will meet if I have a fate, and there will be a period later!" ”
Qing Lun wanted to continue to say a few more words to the other party, but he heard a distant sound, and after a while, there was no more sound, and he knew that the other party had said goodbye without saying goodbye.
In order to relieve the doubts in his heart, he didn't have time to think about anything else, so he hurriedly ordered Adjutant Wang, asking him to lead the army to Yuecheng, and he hurried to Yuecheng Mansion one step ahead of time.
And just now, when Qing Lun was talking to the unknown person on the other side, Hong Luo followed the sound and rushed over, and heard the other party say that Qing Mu was at the north gate of Yuecheng Mansion, so he didn't think about it, so he led a group of horses, got on the horse and galloped towards Yuecheng Mansion.
Qing Lun looked at the red dust and walked away, he was shocked, and he was relieved, who else is so worried about Qing Mu, except for himself, only Hongluo is left in the entire military camp!
This girl is really loyal, and she finally lived up to Qing Mu's usual spoiling of her. The relationship between them is not like the love of master and servant at all, but more like sisterhood, and even more than other ordinary sisterly love.
Thinking of this, Qing Lun didn't have time to think about it, took his divine horse, got on the horse and galloped south.
Qing Mu slept until the beginning of the morning, only then did he wake up and turn around, and opened his eyes to look at this strange environment, the scene of last night was still in front of him, fortunately, the other party turned out to be Brother Feng, otherwise, if it was someone else, he was afraid that he would be in danger.
Thinking of this, suddenly, she patted her head lightly with her hand and said to herself: "Oops! How did they forget their brother and Hongluo! How anxious they should be if they can't find themselves! ”
Qing Mu hurriedly cleaned himself up and changed his clothes. She pondered for a moment, then decided to go to the north gate and wait for her brother and Hongluo to arrive.
In Los Angeles, the capital of the country, preparations for grain and grass are also being carried out in an orderly manner. The food in the army is relatively easy to handle, and the stock is directly divided into two, and not long after Qinglun and other brigades left, they have already followed the official road.
The army was in charge of escorting and rushed in the direction of Yuecheng. However, since the emperor had foreseen that the people might be very short of food, he could imagine that kind of tragic situation in order to maintain order.
The battalion in the western suburbs of Los Angeles was required to send a considerable number of troops to secretly escort Yuecheng without any mistakes.
All this was beyond Qinglun's expectations, and it was smooth and stable all the way, not at all like the road he had walked.
The collection of grain from the people from the north and the purchase of grain from merchants are also in full swing, and it takes a lot of time to transfer military rations directly from warehouses.
Therefore, the emperor specially arranged for King Youyi to personally deal with this matter, and now it seems that everything is going well.
However, Qing Mu and Qing Lun have been on this trip for dozens of days, and now there is still no news, the emperor is a little worried, and he asked vigorously whether there is an urgent document delivered to the ministry. However, for several days, there was still no response.
He remembered Qing Mu's cleverness, Qing Lun's courage and ability to fight well, and he was still quite confident, believing that they would be able to arrive in Yuecheng smoothly and complete this mission well.
Maybe the emperor's worries are a little superfluous, but there is nothing to blame, after all, this matter is related to the foundation of the Bolian country, if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that the whole country will be in turmoil.
At that time, not only will it be difficult to protect the throne, but I am afraid that the dynasty will also change, and the foundation of the ancestors and ancestors will be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Yun Wang Mu Yuan has also been ordered to go to Yangzhou Mansion to deal with the construction of river canals and the diversion of water from the Yangtze River, but there is no reply for the time being, and it is unknown whether it will go smoothly.
On the side of the crown prince Muqi, he was hurrying up, because he was traveling alone, he had already arrived at Huiji, waiting for the grain ship of the imperial court.
As soon as he arrived at Huiji, he arranged for the surrounding government to organize manpower and tools, ready to carry grain for distribution to various states and counties at any time.
Due to the seriousness of the disaster, officials from all over the country know that at this moment, they can no longer cheat and play tricks, if it is not good, but if the head is to the ground, it is to cooperate with the prince's work very much, and dare not slack off in the slightest.
After Qing Mu packed up his belongings, he set off to the north gate to wait for Qing Lun, Hong Luo and the army led by him. She looked silently into the distance, looking up at the sky from time to time, and found that the sun was in the sky, and the hot sun was scorching the earth.
Today, Jiangnan is barren, and only the merciless sun shines on the earth, as if to squeeze every drop of water from the land and the air.
Suddenly, the dust was flying in the distance, and the cry of a fast horse came from afar, gradually, gradually, the outline slowly became clear, and Qing Mu looked at the person on horseback, and shouted with joy: "Red Luo, Red Luo!" I am here! ”
As soon as Hong Luo heard Qing Mu's voice, he was really happy, and when he was nervous, he almost fell off the horse, but he shouted urgently: "County Lord!" Princess! ”
After another moment, the horse had galloped over, Hong Luo quickly dismounted, rushed forward, threw himself into Qing Mu's arms, and cried: "County Lord! You're scared to death Hongluo, where the hell have you gone! Why did you come to Yuecheng, and you didn't tell Hongluo! ”
Qing Mu shook her head slowly, let go of Hong Luo gently, pinched her Qiong nose with her fingers, and smiled: "You! Do you think the lord of this county wants to come by himself? It was kidnapped! ”
"Ahh Damn, who the hell dares to kidnap my Lord Chincha, don't you want to die? Hong Luo asked suspiciously.
Qing Mu took out a handkerchief from her arms, gently wiped the tears on her face, and comforted: "Okay, don't cry, I don't blame you for this." ”
"It's not! No! County Lord, you must not say goodbye in the future, you are very uncomfortable in the heart of Hong Luo, if you can't find you today, I'm afraid that Hong Luo may collapse! Hong Luo said aggrievedly.
Qing Mu whispered: "Okay! I know, when I go out in the future, I will be inseparable with you, it should be okay! ”
Hong Luo burst into tears and giggled: "Early this morning, I heard a man talking to the prince about this incident, county lord, I'm afraid you know the other party, right?" ”
Qing Mu nodded slowly, "Well, it's okay." The other party didn't have any malicious intent, but just told me the truth of some things. ”
When she said this, she suddenly remembered something, and asked suspiciously: "Hongluo, why is it only you who came here, my brother and the team?" ”
"Oops! Worst! County Lord, I ran out secretly, I'm afraid that the prince and those big brothers haven't arrived yet! Hong Luo slowly lowered his head, his voice quieter than the sound of a mosquito.
"Ahh Did you sneak out? Isn't this a deserter, I'll go back to the mansion later, and see how the county lord cleans you up! Qing Mu half-jokingly.
When Hong Luo heard this, he was anxious and hurriedly explained: "It's not ...... No, county lord, Hongluo should know that the prince came out, besides, I was nervous about the safety of the county lord, so I didn't say goodbye, don't punish me! ”
Qing Mu gently patted Hong Luo's little head and smiled: "Teasing you, it's serious!" ”
Red Luo Deng woke up and turned around, crossed his hands on his hips, and was angry: "Hmph! The county lord really has no conscience, and he has been worried about others all night, and he is still talking cool here! ”
"Who is talking about my family?" Suddenly, there was a sound from behind, and the voice was very familiar.
When Qing Mu heard this, he knew that it was his brother who had arrived, but he didn't answer, and looked up, and sure enough, there was a handsome man sitting on a horse in the distance, it was Qing Lun.
Qing Mu and Hong Luo had been laughing and playing just now, so they didn't notice the sound of horses' hooves galloping in the distance, and suddenly heard a familiar sound, and then woke up.
Hong Luo turned to face Qing Lun, lowered his head, and whispered: "Shizi, it's me!" ”
Qing Lun slowly dismounted, walked to the side of them, and smiled: "Whoever said that Qing Mu can't do it, even if it's the best Hong Luo for her, it's not good!" ”
Hong Luo didn't dare to raise his head, his voice became smaller and smaller, "I'm sorry, Shizi, it's Hong Luo who is wrong, and I won't dare to do it again!" ”
"Alright, brother! Don't tease her anymore, Hong Luo is already thin-skinned, if you say this about her, she will blame herself deeply! Qing Mu persuaded his brother.
"Oops! The two of you are exactly the same! It hasn't been around for a while, and it's on a front! No wonder, Qing Mu disappeared last night, and Hong Luo cried in the tent to death! Qing Lun deliberately quipped.
Qing Mu heard her brother's words, but she didn't answer, looked down at Hong Luo gently, slowly raised her face with her hand, and apologized in a low voice: "Hong Luo, it's all my fault!" In the future, if there is anything urgent, I will definitely tell you! ”
Hong Luo gently let go of Qing Mu's hand, nodded slowly, and said sincerely: "As long as the county lord is safe, I am willing to let Hong Luo do anything!" ”
Qing Lun looked at the two of them and put himself aside in an instant, a little jealous, and angry: "Okay, okay!" Is it comfortable under the scorching sun? Now let's go into the city at once, find a place to rest, and then wait for the big team to arrive!" ”
Qing Mu nodded, "Brother! There is no need to look for a place, Qingmu is ready! ”
"Is there such a thing?" Qing Lun asked suspiciously.
"Of course! Two guest officers, don't come with the county lord soon! Qing Mu said with a smile.
Hong Luo also laughed: "County Lord, don't lead the way yet!" ”
Qing Lun shook his head and said straightly: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite!" Is this still a master-servant relationship? ”
Qing Mu and Hong Luo turned their heads almost at the same time, and replied in unison: "It wasn't in the first place!" ”
"Good, good! Isn't it, it's not it, what are you angry about, it's amazing! Hum! Qing Lun replied with a smile, glanced at the two of them again, and said, "Those two county lords, don't bring this general into the city yet!" ”
