The two walked side by side with an umbrella, and the atmosphere between the two was slightly weird. Xie Yaoguang always avoided Ye Linchen a little, but Ye Linchen liked to be one step closer to her, and after coming and going, he found that he couldn't break free of Ye Linchen's hand and couldn't go outside, so he could only walk side by side with him.

Everywhere in the city, you can see porridge sheds set up in the shade under the eaves or trees, but the people standing in the shade of the trees are not the soldiers who came with Ye Linchen, but the ragged people, they all hold a porcelain bowl in their hands, and look expectantly at the steaming wooden barrel on the table, although they also know that the wooden barrel is just some gruel, but they are still grateful to King Ding.

At this moment, there were sharp-eyed people in the crowd who saw Ye Linchen coming, and they greeted him one after another, and looked at Ye Linchen gratefully, kneeling on the ground and bowing with his head. Seeing this, Ye Linchen hurriedly pulled up the old man led by him and asked him if he was uncomfortable and whether the rice grain at home was still enough to eat.

"Enough to eat, enough to eat. But Your Highness, don't get tired. Saying that, the old man took out a few water chestnuts from his sleeve and handed them to Ye Linchen, "Your Highness, you can quench your thirst with these water chestnuts." The old man can't repay you with anything good. ”

Looking at the people in front of him, who were almost yellow-skinned and ragged, Ye Linchen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, you should keep these water chestnuts and eat them for yourself." You need these more than I do. ”

Jiang Yan, who was originally helping to spoon porridge on the side, saw Xie Yaoguang standing next to Ye Linchen with a happy face, hurriedly threw down the wooden spoon in his hand, wiped it on his body, took a few water chestnuts from the old man's hand, and after tasting it, the smile in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

"Your Highness, if you don't eat yourself, you won't eat. Why don't you ask Miss Xie if she eats water chestnut. It's so hot...... You are an iron body and are not afraid of heat. But where can a delicate young lady compare with you? After speaking, Jiang Yan handed the water chestnut to Xie Yaoguang, and said with a smile: "Miss Xie, you can taste this water chestnut sweetly." There is nothing good in this Cangzhou City right now. ”

After glancing at Jiang Yan, Xie Yaoguang looked sideways at Lin Chen. Seeing that the other party looked at her with a stunned expression, she hooked her lips and chuckled, borrowed the water chestnut from Jiang Yan's hand, but did not eat it, and just as she was about to return the water chestnut, Ye Linchen suddenly stopped her.

Jiang Yan is right...... It's me who doesn't think about it. You can take this water chestnut, and the left and right are also Uncle Wang's thoughts. After Ye Linchen picked up a water chestnut from Xie Yaoguang's hand, wiped it with his sleeve, peeled it off, revealed the snow-white flesh inside, and handed it to Xie Yaoguang's lips.

Looking at Ye Linchen's close hand, Xie Yaoguang suddenly looked embarrassed. What's going on with him lately...... How could a good person do such an ambiguous thing in front of so many people. After pondering for a while, Xie Yaoguang reached out and took the snow-white water chestnut and put it in his mouth, and only then did he take a bite of the sweet taste that permeated his lips and teeth.

"How?" Seeing her like this, Ye Linchen couldn't help asking.

"It's sweet."

After saying these two words, Xie Yaoguang quickly walked to the other side with an umbrella while Ye Linchen was unprepared, as if he was unwilling to get too close to Ye Linchen. Jiuzhou Chinese

Jiang Yan, who was originally watching the excitement from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh with his forehead, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people present, I was afraid that he would beat his chest on the spot. Why is it that their Highness sometimes opens his mind and sometimes does not open his mind...... It's so easy to create some opportunities, why don't you know to take advantage of the momentum? I really want to be angry with him, and Lao Jiang is also.

After seeing Xie Yaoguang take a few more steps forward, he hurriedly hurried up to catch up, "It's good if you like it." Let's go, let's go to the front again. ”

"Your Highness, you have done a good job in Cangzhou." After speaking, Xie Yaoguang's pace also faltered, he turned his head and looked at him seriously, and his tone was gentle, "If the person who came this time was not His Highness, I am afraid that there may not be such a scene." If it is a party member of King Shou, I don't know how many people will starve to death. ”

In this calendar, all the state capitals that have been touched by King Shou or the people under the hands of this king have really done things that have been diligent in serving the people. Almost all of them are acting for their own political achievements and the selfish desires of their masters, and in their eyes, the people of the state capital are just ants, which is not worth caring about.

When these words fell into his ears, Ye Linchen sighed and there seemed to be resentment in his tone, "Actually, when they saw me coming, they were also dissatisfied and resistant. They didn't believe that I was here to help the disaster, but they thought that I was also making a lot of money in this name like those people in the past...... At that time, in order to gain their trust, I made a military order with them, and if the relief food from the imperial court did not arrive within the agreed time, I should apologize with death. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang's eyes widened, and he looked at Ye Linchen in disbelief, but his lips were speechless.

"Your Highness should not be like this. If I really have something to delay, or maybe it's ...... What about Your Highness?" Xie Yaoguang, who had been relieved for a long time, looked at Ye Linchen with deep eyes, and there was a hint of reproach in his tone.

"I'm sure you'll come as promised, even if you're delayed...... I think you will also try your best to get to Cangzhou as quickly as possible. Ye Linchen's eyes were dark, and he looked sideways at Xie Yaoguang and said in a gentle tone, "Mrs. Gu, the family teacher, once taught me a sentence, the master does not suspect that the person is not suspicious. Yaoyao, since you chose me, who had no power, and assisted me all the way to the present. If you really want to plot against it, I'm afraid that you will do it a long time ago, so why wait until now. So I'm confident that you won't do anything like that. ”

When the words fell, Xie Yaoguang smiled helplessly. She naturally knows what her grandfather said, and she has indeed used people like this over the years. But she really didn't expect Ye Linchen to trust herself so unreservedly, just as she trusted Zhuo Jing.

In fact, in her heart, she felt that Ye Linchen would still have a grudge against her because of the previous incident, but she didn't expect that now Ye Linchen actually trusted her unreservedly, and even blocked her own life.

With a smile, the fleeting melancholy in his eyes was suppressed, and Xie Yaoguang's phoenix eyes seemed to be dyed with a layer of mist, "Your Highness, don't make such a bet on yourself next time." It has taken us so much time to get to where we are now, how can we just give up at will. ”

"Yaoyao, don't be annoyed. It's not mine, I shouldn't have made such a bet. There are some places ahead of this that you should take a look at. Looking at Xie Yaoguang with a smile on his lips, Ye Linchen led her to the front.

The two walked for half a stick of incense and walked to a courtyard where residents were temporarily housed. The sound of children's laughter came from inside.
