When Duanmuqing opened her eyes, the rain had already fallen, extinguishing all the lights that had just been burning in the courtyard, but she knew that everyone was by her side.

She also knew that everyone's hopes were burning violently, and this rain was the fuel for the flame of hope for them at this moment.

"Qing'er!" Han Ling flew up one by one and draped a cloak in his arms over her.

And Duanmu Qing just looked at him with a smile, a very pure smile.

In that smile, there is only happiness, and there is no more content.

Gently brushing the cloak off his shoulder, Duanmu Qing said with a smile: "I want to feel the rain like this, I can hear their happy voices." ”

"Snow Girl!" Wan Qian shouted excitedly, and then shouted loudly to the sky, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank ”

Then the others shouted along with each other.

They all have the original purity in their bones, like the last pure land in human nature.

Duanmu Qing was moved by their emotions and infected by them, and tears of joy flowed down his eyes.

The journey to Zhenzhou was not accompanied by Han Lingxi, because Han Yuan temporarily assigned him some tasks, so that he had no way to accompany him.

This made him annoyed for a long time, and he almost decided to disobey Han Yuan's will and follow it obstinately.

It was still Meng Qing and Duanmu Qing who stopped it in time, this time is different from the past, and now he can't argue with Han Yuan, because he doesn't have that kind of confidence and reason.

But Ziyi followed, naturally it was Han Lingyan's instructions.

Now that Han Yuan's temperament is becoming more and more elusive, he is really not at ease, so he gave Zi Yi a death order, he must let Duanmu Qing stay within his sight for twelve hours a day.

Although the battle along the way is big, everyone in the east knows that the princess Ling's righteous daughter, the eldest lady of the Zhenxi Palace, is going to Zhenzhou to pray for rain on behalf of their emperor.

It is said that it is the life grid measured in the Taibu Palace, and the eight characters born just happened to be stained with the light of His Majesty Dongli, so you may be able to give it a try.

His Majesty has prayed for rain many times at the Temple of Heaven in Changjing, but no significant results have been seen, most of which is due to the fact that it is too far from the center of the disaster area.

And how could he leave Beijing so rashly, so he chose the lord of Qingjun to go on his behalf.

The people have their own opinions on this matter, some with expectations, some with disappointment, and some with doubts.

Of course, for people in the hardest-hit areas, this can be regarded as a hope, as if the life-saving straw of the drowning person is not known whether it is driftwood or a big tree tied behind the straw.

So many people traveled mightily, but they did not slow down, although it was not as fast as the post station 800 miles of urgent mail, but it was much faster than going out to patrol the official road on weekdays.

In just four days, he has already arrived in Zhenzhou.

Naturally, the shelter has already been prepared here, and the reason why such a complete dwelling can be prepared in such a severe drought is worth intriguing.

This time, Duanmu Qing did not bring Duanmulan or Baimei out, but let them and Ningyuan Xiaolong Ye Mubai guard the base camp of the Ling Palace.

But the people of the Hidden Country are all here.

The disaster is serious, and along the way, Duanmu Qing saw that the cracked land in those fields, not to mention the dealer, even the weeds, could not survive.

The river also dried up to the point where only the last yellow muddy water remained.

Seeing those people sitting in the hot sun with wrinkled faces, her heart was also worried.

In such a situation, no matter who it is, no matter what status, what status, what class of people, it should not be in the mood to sing about wine at this time!

Arrived at the residence in the evening, and someone came to inform Duanmu Qing that he would start praying for rain the next day.

She has no objection to this. Although the journey was hard, it was estimated that it would not be good to let her rest for two days.

The first thing Sweet Potato did when he came here was to check the surrounding situation first, and when everyone had eaten dinner, he reported the results while sweeping the dinner left for him.

"In addition to the personal soldiers sent by Han Yuan and some people that Han Ling quietly released, there is also a well-trained group of people who are secretly watching us."

"Oh? Do you know who it is? Duanmu Qing hurriedly asked.

The sweet potato took another bite of rice and waved his hand: "You don't have to be nervous, I waited until now to find out the other party." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Wan Qian couldn't wait, and hurriedly asked.

"I observed that they were acting like an army, and they did not come against us, but, to me, seemed to protect us.

Before the woodcutters approached us, they quietly let people take a detour, but they didn't understand why they came unexplained since they were the army of the imperial court, and after looking at them later, they didn't seem to have anything to do with those people in Han Yuan. ”

"Why is that?" Puzzled, "Could it be King Luo?" ”

Duanmu Qing shook his head: "Meng Qing doesn't have such power in his hands, even if he does, he knows that Han Lingxi has already sent people, and he won't do it too much, and he is a prince, even if he has already received the book of the household department at this time, but if people know that he holds the military power in his hand, I am afraid that there will be something unclear to say." ”

"It's the Queen!" Night Soul suddenly said faintly at this time, which surprised everyone else.

"Queen?!" Thinking of whom, Duanmu Qing didn't think it was the queen, "Why?" ”

Even if she believed in the Night Spirits again, then not investigating their identities and not exploring the secrets behind them was already considered benevolent, and there was really no need to send someone to protect them!

Thinking of that woman, the night soul smiled shallowly: "You don't know her, she is not for me." ”

"Huh?"

"In the queen's heart, anything is important, but nothing is more important than one thing."

"What is it?" Duanmuqing couldn't help but be curious when she heard her topic, speaking of which, except for Zhou Yu, no one else could make her so interested.

Night Soul glanced at Duanmu Qing, with a look in her eyes that she couldn't understand at this time.

"It's the people!"

This answer made everyone stunned.

Night Soul didn't mind, and then explained to everyone: "The queen is the most peculiar woman in this country, and her ambitions are so high that I have not found anyone who can be as ambitious as her.

Even men, there are many of them. is just high and low, so she can't get the understanding and trust of others, but is more misunderstood. ”

Thinking of this, the night soul remembered their friendship for more than ten years, and couldn't help but smile again: "But she doesn't care, she only cares about what she cares about, and everything else is outside her body."

She cares about the people, you came this time to pray for the rain for the people, after she knows your identity, although she may not believe it, but in her heart, she must have expected it.

At the same time, according to her character, she will definitely not let people try to break this matter, and it is indeed her style to protect us secretly.

Not only that, but I can even guess that the person she sent this time must be the most powerful army under her command. ”

Duanmu Qing didn't speak, but Wan Qian smiled and said, "This queen is quite interesting!" It's like the Snow Maiden of our hidden country.

The Snow Maiden was sent by God to take care of our people. ”

Duanmu Qing is now the new Snow Girl of the Hidden Kingdom, and when she heard Wan Qian say this in person, she suddenly felt embarrassed.

Fortunately, the night soul took over the conversation: "Brother Wan, you are wrong. ”

"Oh?" With a smile on her face, she seemed very interested in knowing how this queen was different from the Snow Maiden he thought.

"The situation in the Hidden Country is different from other places, the Hidden People advocate peace, and few people break the oath of our Hidden People for generations."

As she spoke, her own face changed, because she was an outlier among so many hidden people who would not break their generational oath.

Fortunately, everyone looks at her very normally, and no one thinks she is different from others.

That's why she continued: "But Dongli is not, everyone has different thoughts, and everyone has different pursuits.

When these pursuits exceed the boundaries of the law, like the weeds in a garden that need to be cut, the queen is the gardener wielding the scissors. ”

"Cut?" Ling'er blinked as if trying to understand the meaning of the word.

"You can understand it as killing."

"Murder?" Wan Qian frowned involuntarily, there are other people, killing people is the most unpardonable sin in the eyes of the hidden people.

Therefore, in an instant, everyone's good impression of Zhou Yu disappeared in an instant.

Night Soul is different from others, the relationship she got along with Zhou Yu made her not disgusted with her no matter what.

She also knows that there is no way for the people of the Hidden Kingdom to think about killing as a criminal law.

So she changed the subject playfully: "These are their things, we have returned to the hidden country, and we are still living happily and happily as before, killing people and other things have nothing to do with us, do they?" ”

This sentence made everyone's hearts flutter.

"It's just that the Queen's people are now around us to protect us, which makes us a little safer."

Duanmu Qing nodded in agreement: "This time it's to make it rain in this place, and at the same time, the task of all of us is to find the companions scattered around."

This is the most important thing for us, and we can only be more powerful if we find as many people as possible in our own country.

I hope everyone will cheer up and don't slack off. The hermits have been hiding in this land for a long time.

I'm just afraid that it's the same as we were at the beginning, and they are also scared and hesitant, so don't frighten them. ”

"Don't worry!" Sweet potato giggled and said, "I'm so cute, how can I scare people!" ”

Ling'er glanced at him: "I don't care, whether it's a hidden country or not, it's mainly a girl, you are not allowed to come forward to speak." ”

"Hahaha......" Duanmu Qing's words made everyone feel serious, but Ling'er's sudden insertion made everyone feel a lot more relaxed.

"Rest early and prepare well for tomorrow!" 638
