Chapter 198: Hell on Earth
"Lord, where is the eldest princess? Why didn't I see her come out. ”
"After all, my sister has never been far away, and she must be crying with her mother now!"
"The eldest princess is the pearl of Mrs. Wu's palm, and it will be a short time to see each other again!"
A moment later, when there was a burst of horses' hooves in the distance, five fast horses came in a blink of an eye, led by Sun Shangxiang, who was dressed in black leather armor and looked heroic, and the four women with the same equipment behind her, each of whom had the demeanor of a military general.
"You've been waiting for a long time, when are we leaving?"
Sun Shangxiang jumped down from his horse and said to everyone.
"Sister, you're .........!"
Sun Quan thought that the other party was crying with his mother in the house, but he thought wrongly, and his sister had already prepared it.
"Eldest princess, who are these four?"
"They are my attendants, each of them has special skills, and this time they will go to Tianshui with me to make a contribution."
"This .........!"
How are there four more people.
"The five of us are like sisters, and we won't cause you trouble, besides, how can you big men take care of others, with their help, everything can be convenient."
"Yes, eldest princess, this big car is for you, if you are tired, you can go up and rest!"
"Hmph, we are not weak people, not to mention Tianshui, even the poor mountains and bad waters of the Qing Dynasty can't bother me, you talk first, I'm waiting for you in the long pavilion ten miles outside the city gate!"
Sun Shangxiang ignored it anymore, got on the horse and led the four attendants to run out of the city.
"It's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows .........!"
Liu Yuetian sighed.
Sun Quan accompanied Liu Yuetian all the way to the long pavilion ten miles outside Lin'an City, where Sun Shangxiang was chatting with his sisters boredly under a tree.
"Lord Wang, big brothers, you must say goodbye to sending you a thousand miles in the end, so let's stay!"
Liu Yuetian said to everyone.
"Brother, you and I hit it off at first sight, we will be family from now on, if he has something to tell me in the future, my Sun Quan will definitely help!"
"Okay, it will inevitably bother the prince in the future, and we will see you again in the future!"
Liu Yuetian immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and then led everyone to walk into the distance.
Looking at Liu Yuetian's background, Sun Quan thought about it, this all-round talent in humanities and martial arts, he has risen rapidly in less than a year, and has become the top figure in the world, and if he is given a few more years, I don't know what it will become, the throne of the Great Zhou may really be taken by him, and even the situation in the world will change because of him in the future, Sun Quan has no ambition to win the world, he just wants to keep his own one-third of an acre, and he befriended Liu Yuetian for the future.
Liu Yuetian and his entourage are more than a dozen, marching towards Tianshui, he and the guards are all good horses, once the speed is up, it is not a problem to travel hundreds of miles a day, but Fang Xuanling's parents are already old, although the carriage is very comfortable, but this speed can not be too fast, and it will walk more than 100 miles in a day, and this speed can reach Tianshui in half a month.
Along the way, Fang Xuanling felt a little unscrupulous when he was a literati, but fortunately, Liu Yuetian had fifty years of ginseng nourishment in his hands, and he recovered after drinking some ginseng soup, Sun Shangxiang's five women were fine, they were always in good spirits, Sun Shangxiang and Fang Xuanling knew each other, and they had nothing to sarcastically sarcastic and sarcastic, Fang Xuanling was good-tempered, but he was just laughing.
Sun Shangxiang and these people have never left the land of Wuyue, and when they arrived in the Central Plains, they experienced the customs and customs of the Central Plains and suddenly felt fresh.
Everyone kept moving forward, and after passing Henan County, they entered Hedong County, and then marched westward, entering the Jingfu Governor's Mansion, which was no more than a hundred miles away, as long as they passed through the Jingfu Governor's Mansion and then five hundred miles northwest to Tianshui.
"Liu Yuetian, this is the jurisdiction of the Jingfu Governor's Mansion, which is a suburb of Chang'an, and it should be a prosperous place, but why are we desolate after walking dozens of miles? Don't see a single family? ”
These days, Sun Shangxiang and everyone have become one, and they no longer call Liu Yuetian the prince, which is too foreign.
"Last year, there was a big drought in the Sili area, and there was no grass growing for thousands of miles, Liang Ji also went to my Tianshui to ask for 50,000 quintals of grain, and your brother gave him hundreds of thousands of quintals, but most of this grain went into Liang Ji's pocket, where can the people get it? The people of the Jingfu Governor's Mansion should have all left and fled the famine. ”
Liu Yuetian guessed, but at this time, Meng Sheng, who was not far from the front, suddenly shouted: "Lord Wang, come and see!" ”
Liu Yuetian led everyone to hurriedly rush forward, and saw dozens of wooden houses that had been dilapidated, which were once inhabited, but now they were empty, but the next moment, everyone saw a corpse on the ground at the door of a room that had already turned into white bones, and even this white bone was already broken, and only a skull remained.
"It's a dead man!"
Sun Shangxiang had never seen a dead person after all, and he was so frightened that he cried out when he saw this skull.
"This should be a human who died of hunger, and no one collected the corpse when he died, and his family was afraid that it would be more than lucky!"
"There's that too!"
The cries of Zhang Xingsan and the others also came from the side, and sure enough, there were still a few incomplete bones in the rubble and ruins, either missing arms or thighs.
"After they die, the corpse should be torn by wild dogs, or before they die, it becomes food for wild dogs, where is Chang'an? It's hell on earth! ”
Meng Sheng looked at these corpses and said bitterly.
"That guy Liang Ji is the biggest traitor in the world, but your father, King Zhou, is no better, let him do evil......... If I run into Liang Ji, I will kill him alive. ”
Sun Shang's aroma screamed.
"That's right, this Liang Ji is indeed extremely evil, hmph, those princes and kings want to use him to achieve their own goals, which makes him even more unscrupulous, but I don't have this plan, as short as a year, as long as two years, I must kill Liang Ji!"
"Come on, let's bury all these corpses!"
Zhang Xingsan and the others jumped off their horses, dug a big pit in the open space, and put more than a dozen skeletons inside, which can be regarded as being buried in the ground.
After walking forward and walking more than ten miles, people gradually appeared in front of them, all of them ragged farmers, some of whom survived last year's drought, and some of whom fled the famine and wanted to rebuild their homes.
Liu Yuetian and others saw those ragged farmers digging up the hard land and letting them plant the grass into the ground.
Corn is the easiest grain to grow among the five grains, the surrounding large open space was originally rice fields, when the drought did not rain for six months without a drop of rain became a wasteland, last winter Chang'an also only had a snowfall, and then now the spring is still not a drop of rain, the nearby Weishui River has long dried up, rice has been unable to plant, can only be planted with corn, but even the tenacious vitality of the corn can not grow without a little rain.
At this time, it is the season of sowing, if it does not rain again, the seeds will not be able to be planted, and this year will be another year of great famine.
"How much food do we have?"
"My lord, we don't have much food left, why don't we go to the nearby market and buy some food and distribute it to everyone."
Zhang Xingsan knew what Liu Yuetian thought.
"Okay, this place is not far from the Governor's Mansion, let's go and have a look." 10
