Chapter 631: Outbreak of Plague
So why are you sullen all the time? Xiao Chumo asked again.
Yu Panxi smiled bitterly and sighed, and said sadly in her heart: "I just suddenly had some hesitation, what was we doing to eradicate the tyrant at the cost of our lives?" β
If it is to maintain the peace of Ningguo, then why after Qianqiu stepped down, Ningxia was worried about internal and external troubles, and officials were deceitful and selfish, and the situation seemed to not improve, but intensified? Or the lives sacrificed for those innocents, but in addition to fighting for power and profit in today's Ning Kingdom, who cares about the tragic deaths of those people?
The feeling of extreme disappointment spread in Yu Panxi's heart, and she kept thinking about the evil face in the side hall, forcing her and Xiao Chumo to move their family to the border pass and never return to Kyoto, and suddenly felt that everything they had done with all their might before seemed to be so worthless.
Xiao Chumo could understand the bitterness in Yu Panxi's heart, why wasn't he like this?
Back at the palace, Ling Feng saw that the faces of the two of them were extremely ugly, and he stepped forward in confusion and said, "Did something happen in the palace just now?" β
Xiao Chumo was silent, sitting on the chair with frowns, holding the fragrant tea in the teacup, and there was no expression in his indifferent features.
Yu Panxi, on the other hand, forced out a smile and said to Ling Feng: "You go to Cheng's Mansion to say goodbye to Miss Cheng, I went to the frontier with us, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while." β
After all, early tomorrow morning, they will pack up their luggage and move their family, even if they can't stand Cheng Yuanlian like this, but Yu Panxi has no choice but to find an opportunity to give Ling Feng a vacation in the future, so that he can come back to reunite with Cheng Yuanlian.
However, Ling Feng didn't pay attention to the meaning of Yu Panxi's words, he was still a little confused in his heart, and said: "The current situation in the border is stable, and there is no need for the prince to be in charge for the time being, and even if he wants to go, does the princess have to follow?" β
If it was just an inseparable husband and wife, Ling Feng would not be so puzzled, but obviously Xiao Chumo and Yu Panxi's facial expressions at this time were not as simple as they were.
Or Ling Feng's questioning, which made Xiao Chumo, who was already irritable, even more impatient, and he finally spoke: "Early tomorrow morning, our family of three will move out of Kyoto. β
"Why is that?" Ling Feng was surprised.
"Because Kyoto can't accommodate us anymore." Xiao Chumo replied.
Then Yu Panxi simply told Ling Feng what happened in the palace before, after all, he was not an outsider, so it didn't hurt to let him know, and after they left, the officials who thought they were victorious would definitely add fuel and vinegar to the boasting everywhere, rather than letting Ling Feng hear untrue stories in the mouths of strangers at that time, it would be better for her to tell them herself......
As everyone knows, the conversation between these three people was all heard by Dou Ding who was hiding behind the screen, at this time, he began to slowly exude a clever atmosphere that did not belong to immature children at all, even if Xiao Chumo, who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, would have a creepy domineering appearance when he was angry, but it was completely different from Dou Ding's strange feeling.
In the early morning of the next day, Yu Panxi and his family packed their luggage and prepared to set off, but at this moment, they found that Douding suddenly disappeared?
In this kind of almost embattled situation, their existence is not welcome at all, Douding's disappearance had to make Yu Panxi immediately nervous, after searching around, but still not found, she couldn't help but be anxious, and said to Ling Feng: "Go and find Douding, I'm afraid he will be in danger." β
"Don't worry, the princess, her subordinates will go." Ling Feng clenched his fists and agreed.
But before he could go far, he saw a young and intelligent figure, slowly sneaking in from outside the palace gate, and after seeing Ling Feng, he smiled mysteriously and said, "If Uncle Ling Feng is going to find me, then save some effort, I will come back by myself." β
Ling Feng didn't think much about the strange expression on Dou Ding's face at this time, but when he saw him come back, he immediately stepped forward, frowned and asked, "Where did the little young master go?" The princess is in a hurry to find you. β
Hearing this, Dou Ding did not answer Ling Feng's doubts, but immediately ran to Yu Panxi, put his immature little hands around her waist, and said coquettishly: "Mother, I am not an ordinary child, ordinary assassins are not my opponents at all, mother, why should you worry?" β
"Since you have said that ordinary assassins are not your opponents, then let me ask you, if it is someone with extraordinary skills who wants to assassinate you? How will you protect yourself? Seeing that Douding finally came back, Yu Panxi was a little relieved, but she still had to scold her.
Fortunately, when Douding faced Yu Panxi, he had always been very well-behaved and obedient, and did not refute, but obediently listened to her reprimand, nodded, and explained: "What my mother said is that I will definitely not disappear like this without saying a word in the future, which makes my mother worried, just now I just said goodbye to my friends nearby, after all, we leave like this, I don't know when we will come back again, isn't it?" β
Dou Ding was reasonable, and Yu Panxi's anger gradually stopped, but it wasn't until after getting into the carriage that Yu Panxi suddenly remembered something, that is, Dou Ding has always been lonely and proud, thinking that children of the same age in the neighborhood are too naΓ―ve and rarely have contact with them, when did he make friends?
She was about to ask, but saw that Dou Ding had fallen asleep on her lap, sleeping very sweetly, as if she had not slept all night last night, looking at his immature face, Yu Panxi really couldn't bear to wake him up, so she could only wait for him to wake up, and then find a chance to ask.
Moved from the bustling Kyoto to the remote frontier, coupled with the bumpy journey, many people had symptoms of unadaptability, but fortunately, there was a night to protect Yu Panxi, which did not make her feel uncomfortable, but her body naturally felt very tired.
Yu Panxi's character is yearning for a simple and quiet life, so after two or three days of familiarity, he quickly adapted to the current environment, and he can still sing with Xiao Chumofu, this feeling of not being separated day and night seems to have not been enjoyed for a long time.
But one day, Yu Panxi woke up, but found that Xiao Chumo had long since disappeared, I thought he had gone out to practice as soon as possible, but there was no trace until noon, and she was puzzled to find Ling Feng, who was already a deputy general, since he was always by Xiao Chumo's side, then he must know everything about his busy affairs, right?
"Princess, don't blame the prince for not having time to accompany you during this time, in fact, the prince is also suffering!" Ling Feng explained for Xiao Chumo.
Yu Panxi responded indifferently: "I guessed it, so I didn't go directly to the army to find him, but found you, Ling Feng, Chu Mo, what problems did he encounter?" β
"It's not a problem, at least it has nothing to do with us." Since leaving Kyoto, Ling Feng has naturally developed a disgust for the officials living there, and snorted coldly without changing his face: "In fact, a strange plague has recently broken out in Kyoto, and it is said that many officials have lost their lives because of this, this matter has just been reported to the army today, the prince should be discussing with General Shen and others, right?" β
