Chapter 90: It Turned Out to Be Him
The so-called economy determines people's livelihood, and the Gaochang people did not kill people and set fire to the city after occupying the city, nor did they burn and rob, but they also made this small city wither.
They quickly consolidated their rule by means of economic squeezing and plundering.
As for the people who don't have enough to eat and live in exile, what is this? It would be better for these old Nanyun people to die, so let them return to the loess with the memory of their homeland, and when the new generation grows up, they will no longer have the word "Nanyun" in their impressions, they will only think that they are born and raised in Gaochang.
The Gaochang people completely controlled the newly seized land without spending a single soldier, or even being criticized by words.
Gu Li didn't care much about political affairs, but when she figured it out at the moment, she still felt desolate in her heart.
"I'll go out for a walk." Gu Li informed Yan Qing and went out with Jin Zhi.
She went to Xiangfu and went to find Xiangxian.
I haven't seen Xiangxian for a long time, and I don't know how she's doing now. Now that the business in the city can't continue, the Xiang family will definitely not be spared.
The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was closed, and Gu Li raised his hand to buckle the copper knocker on the door.
It was an elderly man who came out to open the door, and when he heard Gu Li's intention, he replied, "The eldest lady is not at home." ”
"Where did she go?" Gu Li asked along with his words.
The old man replied, "At this time, it may be outside the city." ”
Gu Li and Jin Zhi went out of the city gate.
She wondered in her heart, what was Xiangxian doing outside the city?
When he went out of the city and saw the scene in front of him, Gu Li was instantly stunned.
She saw people all over the hills, all ragged and sallow-faced.
It's a homeless.
Not so long ago, these people lived in peace, but since the towns fell one by one, life has become more and more difficult with each passing day. It's just ordinary people, how can they bear such a burden? In addition, not all Gaochang soldiers did not kill people and set fires, and their lives were in dire straits and they had to leave their hometowns.
But now there is chaos everywhere, and it is not easy for them to find a place to stay, so they are outcast.
When Gu Li entered the city this morning, it was not yet dark, and her heart was all on Yan Qing's body, so she didn't notice anything abnormal. At this moment, she walked among these displaced people, only feeling that her heart was sour and unbearable.
Gu Li soon found Xiang Xian, who was distributing medicinal herbs to the homeless.
She shouted to Xiangxian, and Xiangxian turned her head to see that it was her, and immediately laughed excitedly.
"Sister Gu, are you back? I heard that you were taken away by those Gaochang people, but you have to worry about dying! Xiangxian looked at what she said, happy and anxious.
Gu Li smiled: "I'm fine", and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Xiang Xian raised her eyes and replied: "Anyway, the business can't go on now, and the medicinal materials in the warehouse are easy to mold when it's hot." Rather than spoil it then, it is better to take it out now, which can be regarded as a good deed. ”
She said this with a smile on her face, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.
But Gu Li knew, what kind of trivial matter was this? This is obviously the collapse of the Xiang family business that she has worked hard to run for many years.
"Sister Gu, why did you come here? Did you come to me? Xiang Xian asked, the smile on her face as bright as ever.
Gu Li nodded: "Yes." ”
She began to roll up her sleeves: "I'll help you." ”
These homeless people have traveled a long way, and many of them are injured and sick, anyway, she doesn't need to go to the Immortal Grass Hall now, and her medical skills can come in handy here.
"Great, with you as a miracle doctor here, there is hope for many people." Xiangxian smiled brightly, like the sunshine today.
"You're here again!" Gu Li frowned and stopped her.
Xiangxian playfully stuck out her tongue, knowing that she minded the word "miracle doctor", so she didn't mention it anymore.
Gu Li was killed and miserable by the word "divine doctor", if it weren't for these two words, she wouldn't have encountered so much trouble later.
"Those over there are all wounded," Xiang Xian pointed to one place and another, "All those over there are sick." ”
"I can only make poison, and I'm not so proficient in medical skills, so I can't help anything other than sending some medicinal herbs."
Gu Li looked at her and praised: "You have helped a lot to separate the injured and sick." ”
Xiangxian laughed, but said: "I didn't do this either, I can't afford my sister's praise." ”
Gu Li looked at her suspiciously, didn't she do it? Someone else?
"It's a kind-hearted Taoist chief, he passed by here yesterday, and when he saw the homeless people gathered here, he couldn't bear it, so he stayed to take care of the wounded, and also paid for rice, and boiled a big pot of porridge."
Gu Li sighed in her heart, that was really a kind person.
Because of this benevolent person, her heart, which was sad because of the homeless, finally got a little warmth.
"Look, there he is, and I'll take you to him." Xiang Xian pointed ahead and led Gu Li over.
Gu Li looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, she saw a slender and slender figure in front of her, dressed in a water blue robe, with a white whisk on her arms, gently pulling the dust, taking care of the injured.
She and Xiang Xian walked towards the touch of water blue, and when they got closer, Xiang Xian shouted loudly: "Dao Chief, my sister is here, she knows medical skills, and she can help us." ”
The aqua-blue figure heard the voice and looked back.
Gu Li's steps paused for a moment, and every inch of skin on his body became vigilant.
She recognized the person in front of her, who had turned to ashes.
Zhong Liyu, the one who will take revenge, the long sword across her neck, the one who wants to kill her.
Xiang Xian thought that Gu Li would say hello to this Dao Leader, but not only did she not, but she also looked very vigilant.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Xiang Xian asked in surprise.
Her questioning eyes roamed back and forth between the two, looking at Gu Li and then at Zhong Liyu.
Zhong Liyu was not as surprised and vigilant as Gu Li, the expression on his face was still faint and a little cold. After only glancing at Gu Li, he turned around and continued to take care of the injured.
He didn't have a sword on him today, but his whole person was still the same as a year ago, cold and indifferent.
He wore an aqua-blue robe and walked among the ragged homeless people, looking out of place.
The temperament around him is too clean, clean like a mirror hidden in the deep mountains for thousands of years, and like a nine-day secluded pool.
"Sister, do you recognize him?" Xiang Xian was puzzled in her heart, and asked Gu Li again.
Gu Li's eyes were still chasing Zhong Liyu's figure, and he responded in a deep voice: "I recognize it." ”
Not only recognized, but also celebrated.
She has saved countless people, but this is the only one who will take revenge.
Zhong Liyu actually came here again, what was his purpose?
