Chapter 114: A two-year covenant, the two armies converge
The second prince and I got closer and closer, blocking Liu'er behind them, and retreating step by step until my back was against the wall, thinking: It's over, I just deliberately found a dead end in order to change clothes, and I can't run away now.
Knowing that they had bad intentions, my heart was terrified, but I still mustered up the courage to stand in front of the second prince, "What do you want to do?" β
"I see that you are quite rich, why don't you take it out to honor and honor your masters?"
I understand that I should have been targeted by them when I just took out a hundred taels casually, and I have been following them for so long.
It's just a robbery, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, but unexpectedly, the second prince suddenly spoke: "In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, among the robbery, is there a royal law in your eyes, is there a saint today?" β
A burst of laughter came, laughing at the ignorance of the second prince: "Shengshang, that is a blind man, a deaf man, do you know how many robberies will happen in Luoyang in a day?" Do you know how many people will be killed in secret? Do you know how many people will be helpless? He will only pay attention to those nobles in the court, and we will not have the afterglow of charity. β
The second prince retorted angrily: "Nonsense! Father is obviously the best emperor in the world, and he knows a lot of truths......"
The men didn't know if they didn't pay attention to it, or if they deliberately ignored the two words in the second prince's mouth, they just glanced at each other, shook their heads and said, "You are still too naΓ―ve." β
Seeing this, I thought that I could solve it with money, but now I can't do it, I can only expose my identity: "Shut up!" This is the second prince today, don't you want to die? β
"Second prince? He? What are you kidding, if he is the second prince, then I will be the emperor! The men laughed and bent over as if they had heard some joke.
"Shut up! You are not allowed to insult your father. The second prince rushed forward and punched and kicked the man who spoke.
The man hid a few times, and when he saw that the second prince was still unrelenting, he pushed the second prince down and said, "Tie him up for me, children are annoying." He patted the dirty spot on his body.
Liu'er and I hurriedly stepped forward to help the second prince up and block behind him, like a hen protecting her cubs.
Looking at the movements of the three of them, the man smiled and said, "You guys are righteous, then tie up the three of them together and take them away." Obviously, the latter sentence was addressed to his accomplices.
Naturally, the strength of our three children could not be compared with that of several adults, and after struggling for a long time, it was still fruitless, so they were tied up and dragged by a rope in front of them.
was dragged to a stagger, and he could only use his identity to intimidate him: "He is really the second prince, you will definitely regret it if you kidnap us......"
"Noise. Shut their mouths up to me. The man plucked out his ears and said.
"Hmm-" was gagged, and no matter how much he spoke, he could only make the same sound.
So we were forced to walk together to the gate of the city, and when we met people coming and going on the way, although they would stop and point, none of them said anything to stop them, although they kept calling for help. Still indifferent.
After leaving the city gate, the second prince who was crying suddenly fell silent, I turned my head and saw the second prince looking around in disbelief, probably shocked by the scene in front of him, he had never been out of the palace, let alone out of the city.
There must be a world of difference between the outside of the city and the inside of the city. You can see singing and dancing in the city, even if there is some unfairness, but you can still see the prosperity of a city in the general direction. However, when they left the city gates, instead of growing grain, they saw everywhere a large number of people begging with a broken bowl, their clothes ragged and their hair disheveled.
As if trying to make us realize the reality, the three men pointed to the beggar and said, "Take a good look! This is the peaceful and prosperous era in your eyes, and this is the country governed by the emperor today. β
The facts are in front of us, and neither I nor the second prince have any way to refute them.
Suddenly, a commotion drew our attention, and a mother was holding her child, and the child was crying, crying and begging the officers and soldiers at the city gate: "Please, let me in, will you come out after seeing the child?" β
The officer and soldier said impatiently: "If you say no, you can't do it, don't stand in the way, or I will sue you for obstructing the execution of official duties." β
She also pushed the woman and pushed her to the ground, but the woman did not give up just like that, she fell to the ground and held her child with one hand to prevent injury, and the other hand tightly pulled the trouser leg of the officer and soldier, begging: "Please, just let me in, the child is dying!" β
I saw that the officer and soldier kicked the child in her arms, and said in disgust: "Anyway, it's not good, it's better to die early, so as not to cause trouble to others!" β
The woman immediately let go of her hand and held the child tightly in her arms, preventing the officers and soldiers from kicking it.
Suddenly, another figure appeared in his eye socket, the eldest of the three of us, with a full beard.
He walked over, lifted the woman up from the ground, nodded and flatteringly invited the officer and soldier to come to his side and said a few words, and saw the officer and soldier nodding and coming back to let the woman into the city.
Before entering the city, he gave the woman a few taels of silver in his beard, and with tears in her eyes, she almost knelt down and kowtowed to him.
When he returned, I heard the second prince keep muttering, perhaps because he thought there was something urgent, so he asked the cloth from his mouth to be taken away.
The second prince, who was not blocked by anything, asked, "What did you say to that officer and soldier?" β
The beard glanced at him, and said in a word: "Child, don't know so much." β
I don't know what he said, but I turned my head to look at it, and I saw that the officer and soldier's eyes were full of greed, staring at a bulging money bag in his hand, and I was very familiar with it, it was he who had collected it from us at that time.
When I looked at the bearded three again, my mood had changed, and it turned out that sometimes real officers and soldiers were not as good as robbers.
When I turned around, the second prince also looked back, I don't know what the second prince was thinking, and it must have been uncomfortable, so that I couldn't hear anything other than the sound of the wheels snoring along the way.
About a dozen miles away, we came to the foot of a mountain,
The bearded men pulled us off the carriage and pushed us up the hill.
At the top of the mountain, I saw a high wooden door, there was a wooden sign on the wooden door, which said Qingfeng Village, looking at the three words we had been staring at it, and showing off with a beard: "This word is written beautifully, this is written by a Gongsheng." Does Gongsheng know what it is? You can be an official outside......"
At the mention of this, somehow, the expression of the beard dimmed, and he did not continue to speak. He just ordered us to be locked up in the firewood room, and left in the other direction.
