Chapter 401: A Chivalrous Woman Spends Her Life
The day after the wedding, Meng Yu went to the palace and told Li Ji about their parade.
When he heard that the two of them were about to leave as soon as they came back, Li Ji was a little reluctant in his heart, but he still agreed.
After returning to the General's Mansion, the two began to pack their things and prepare to travel with the old Taoist, and Wei Xuehan and Xiao also left after the wedding to live as two.
"Master, where are we going next?" Song Qingyi asked the old Taoist.
The old Taoist who was drinking tea squinted his eyes and said, "Ye Guo." Since the curse will have it in the concubine country, then other countries should also have it. ”
Since Ye Guo is relatively close to Yun Guo, it was finally decided to go to Ye Guo first.
When the affairs of Yun Country were almost explained, the group embarked on the journey to Ye Kingdom.
The land of Ye Country is fertile, and if it is used well, it will be no less prosperous than the Concubine Country. However, Emperor Ye was mediocre and incompetent, and he was even more obsessed with beauty and couldn't think about it, which led to the decay and barrenness of Ye State.
Looking at the ragged people around them, they were even more skinny, and even the houses were a little dilapidated.
The Ye country in front of him is very different from the concubine country.
"Let's find a place to rest first." After a long time, the color has dimmed today, Song Qingyi proposed.
After some searching, they found a decent inn to live in.
Maybe it's because of the barrenness of Ye Country, basically no one wants to come here, and there are basically no other people in the inn.
Because they were too tired to travel during the day, after dinner, the three of them rested early.
It was quiet in the middle of the night, and the sound of insects could be heard from time to time.
At this moment, a black figure slipped into a room in the night.
Song Qingyi, who was still sleeping, couldn't help but open his eyes when he noticed the movement in his room, only to see a figure in the darkness quietly touching him.
Song Qingyi did not act rashly, but quietly observed the black shadow's movements. I saw the black shadow stop in front of his package, and then began to rummage through the contents.
Thief?
Seeing this move, Song Qingyi also knew the true face of the black shadow in front of him.
Just when the thief was rummaging left and right, but couldn't find anything, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "Don't look for it, everything valuable is on me." ”
When he heard this sound, the thief was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly prepared to run, but in the next second, Song Qingyi fell to the ground with an over-the-shoulder fall, and began to punch and kick the thief.
"A chivalrous woman spares her life, a chivalrous woman spares her life!" The thief begged for mercy.
Feeling relieved, Song Qingyi lit the candle flame at this time, looking at the unseemly thief who was beaten, Song Qingyi couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Say, why did you steal?" Song Qingyi sat on the stool and crossed her legs and looked at the thief who was still begging for mercy.
The thief looked at Song Qingyi and cried bitterly and said: "Chivalrous girl, I can't help it, my relatives at home are waiting to eat, and the baby is still sick and has no money to hire a doctor." Today, I saw that you seem to have a lot of good things on your body, and that's why I have evil thoughts. ”
After listening to the thief's words, Song Qingyi looked the thief up and down. I saw that the clothes on the thief's body were sewn and mended for many ways, and the whole person was even more thin and pitiful, and he didn't seem to want to lie. Thinking of seeing Ye Guo today, Song Qingyi couldn't help but sigh.
"Get up." Song Qingyi stepped forward to help the thief up, which made the thief feel even more frightened.
"You don't have to be afraid, this money is for you, go buy some food for your child to see a doctor." Song Qingyi directly took out some silver and gave it to the thief.
Due to the barrenness of Ye Country, the price of goods has also risen a lot, and some of those ordinary people can't even eat.
The thief in front of him looked at his performance just now and looked like a novice, and I am afraid that he was forced to come to this point. China
The thief looked at the silver that Song Qingyi handed him, his body couldn't help trembling, and he immediately knelt directly on the ground: "Thank you for the grace of the chivalrous girl for saving your life, there is nothing to repay, and you will be a cow and a horse in the next life!" ”
"Just don't steal anything in the future, not everyone has the same kindness as me." Song Qingyi let the thief get up and sighed and said.
The thief agreed again and again, and then left with the silver given by Song Qingyi.
On the second day, the three of them did not leave here, and this time they came to see if there was a curse, so they naturally had to observe carefully.
At night, the old Taoist stood on the roof of the house with a compass in his hand, constantly observing the stars.
Song Qingyi and Meng Yu watched quietly from the side.
"Not good!" At this moment, the old Taoist who had been observing the stars was shocked.
"Master, what's wrong?" Looking at the old Taoist's nervous appearance, Song Qingyi hurriedly asked.
The old Taoist's hand holding the compass trembled slightly, and then he sighed: "Fate is like this!" The Ye Kingdom is doomed! ”
When he heard that Ye Guo was destroyed, Song Qingyi was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Master, what happened?" ”
"The current situation of Ye Guo is a dead end, it is irretrievable, and it will not be long before Ye Guo will cease to exist." The old Taoist said weakly.
After listening to the words of the old Taoist, I suddenly felt a sadness welling up in my heart.
Looking at the houses below, there are one family after another, but they look extremely desolate in the moonlight.
Thinking back to the thief they met last night, they didn't expect to be like this.
"Isn't there anything that can be done?" Song Qingyi couldn't bear these people to die like this.
Even if Ye Guo has become like this, they are still alive and strong, for themselves and their families.
The old Taoist shook his head helplessly.
Meng Yu watched from the sidelines, and he didn't feel good in his heart.
However, Song Qingyi is unwilling to give up, those people are still trying to live, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will try.
Early in the morning of the second day, Song Qingyi came to the palace of Ye Guo accompanied by Meng Yu, if the emperor has a degree of governance, then Ye Guo may also be saved, she must talk to the emperor well.
Although it is a palace, the palace in front of you is not much better, and it doesn't look as luxurious as the palace.
"What people!"
Just as Song Qingyi and Meng Yu stepped forward, two soldiers directly blocked the way of the two.
Song Qingyi didn't panic, and directly took out a token and said: "I am the envoy of the concubine country, and I have come here to discuss government affairs with your emperor." ”
That token was given by the emperor of the concubine country in order to repay Song Qingyi, symbolizing the rights of the royal family.
When they saw that the token in Song Qingyi's hand was not fake, the two soldiers looked at each other and said, "Please wait, the little one will pass it on." ”
Song Qingyi nodded and waited quietly with Meng Yu at the gate of the palace.
After a while, I saw the soldier who went in hurriedly and said, "I'm sorry two, you better go back, the emperor said that he won't see you." ”
Song Qingyi couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect that the emperor of the Ye country would be so big, and even the envoy of the concubine country was reluctant to summon him.
"Let's go back first." Meng Yu said when he saw this.
