Shi Chun was particularly angry in his heart: "How can he be consumed by the desire for profit, it is clear that he is messing up his dignity and humility." ”

"Bear with me." Qi Changrong patted her hand and said gently: "You see how much he jumps now, but it may not be in the future." ”

As the saying goes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves are slapped to death on the beach.

She is only looking at it now, and one day in the future, someone can take Yang Yishu's place and break this embarrassing three-legged situation.

Shi Chun pursed his lips, then nodded.

Then, Qi Changrong said again: "Although you don't have to keep an eye on Han Yu all the time, you have to pay attention to the people around him...... Especially those who are close to him. ”

Shi Chun responded without even asking why.

Her breathing gradually stabilized, and Shi Chun kept moving, and after a while, he withdrew his hand from her shoulder.

She took a piece of tulle and put it on Qi Changrong's body, holding a pu fan in her hand, fanning the wind with no pairing.

In the palace, Pei Ji looked at the almost empty granary that was burned, and almost turned gray: "What can I do, so many people in the city are still waiting to eat!" ”

The charred piece emitted an unpleasant smell, and Pei Ji stood in it, his eyes were red, and he almost wanted to cry.

The southeast is already barren, and these grains are even hard-won, and I thought that it would last for a while, but the sky was so merciless, and a fire almost destroyed everything.

If this had been the case, it would have been better to let the people have a full meal in those days than the current situation.

The officials looked lonely, and they watched the parents and officials in the southeast secretly wipe the corners of their eyes with their sleeves, and they were silent for a while.

But misfortune doesn't happen alone, and when you think you're in a desperate situation, there's something even more desperate happening one after another.

The patrolling guards hurried into the granary from outside: "My lord, there is chaos outside, you better go out and have a look." ”

Pei Ji, who was sighing secretly, suddenly came back to his senses, and his sharp eyes instantly fell on the person who came: "What's the matter?" ”

The person who came took a deep breath: "I don't know who leaked the news, saying that the grain in the granary was burned by a fire, and now the people have exhausted the water around the palace, so I have to let you go out and give them an explanation!" ”

Hearing this, it was as if a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in his ears, and with a 'bang', Pei Ji's eyes were blown up, and he stumbled under his feet and almost fell to the ground.

Pei Ji gasped, stopped his body, only felt that his ears were buzzing, and it was too late to be sad, so he hurriedly asked, "How can this be?" Didn't I tell no one to say more?! ”

"This fire is strange and the momentum is so big, even if the subordinates want to hide it, they can't hide it." The person who came was also very helpless, and said: "There are a lot of people living around the government office, and it must be the disturbance when we put out the fire that alarmed them." ”

"My lord, what now?"

Pei Ji coughed violently, brushed his sleeves and said angrily: "What else can I do, don't go out with me to clean up the mess!" ”

Before the sound fell, Pei Ji had already strode outside, and if he looked closely, he would definitely find that his steps had already been out of order, and he was a little out of shape.

After walking out and standing at the door of the government office, Pei Ji knew that the description of the officers and soldiers was true, and as far as he could see, the street to which the government belonged was densely packed with people.

This kind of scene is even more serious than the farce in the city at the beginning.

"Has our food been burned down by a fire?"

"Whoever can call the shots, come out quickly and give a quasi-word."

"The food is burned, are we going to starve to death?"

"How can this be, the heavens are going to kill us!"

Before the butcher's knife hanging from the neck was removed, there was another food famine, and boundless fear spread in people's hearts one by one.

The jumble sound is like a drop of water in boiling oil.

After a while, the whole street became noisy.

Looking at such a scene, Pei Ji was one head and two big.

He raised his hand, made a downward pressure movement in mid-air, and raised his voice: "Everyone be quiet, don't panic, please listen to me." ”

His presence did not make the situation any better, and when the men saw him coming, they rushed up almost desperately, and asked:

"Master Pei, I heard that the granary is on fire, is it true?"

Pei Ji was stunned and said with a reluctant smile: "Naturally it's not true, the granary has people taking turns guarding it for twelve hours, how can it suddenly catch fire?" ”

He used a rhetorical question, looking indifferent, but no one in the audience ate him.

As soon as they heard this, a few emotional people immediately asked: "I saw with my own eyes that there was thick smoke coming out of the granary, what could it be if it wasn't on fire?!" ”

Even the eyewitnesses jumped out, the corners of Pei Ji's mouth twitched, his head tilted, and his plan to calm things down was completely nullified.

As soon as the man finished speaking, the other person hurriedly answered: "Yes, Master Pei, the grain in the granary is the hope of all of us, and you are the parent official in the city, please give us an explanation." ”

"Master Pei, we know your difficulties, but if you don't talk about it now, when it's time to eat, you still can't hide it, why don't you talk about the current situation first, let's think of a way together."

It sounds good, but when the facts are really in front of them, they may be more anxious than him.

Pei Ji smiled bitterly, even though he knew what the reaction would be if he told the truth.

But in the face of such a situation, he has to say it if he doesn't want to.

After thinking about it, he licked his dry mouth and told the truth about the situation.

"There was indeed a fire in the granary, but it wasn't as bad as you thought, and we didn't have any food."

"There are three days of rations left, and after three days ......"

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and it was Huangsha City.

Before the riots were resolved, natural disasters threatened to take their lives.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

"There's only three days of food, and after three days, are we all going to die here?"

"How the hell did that fire start? Didn't you say that there were special people guarding the granaries? ”

Countless doubts and doubts were thrown at Pei Ji, and he could hardly bear it.

The situation became more and more chaotic, and the officers and soldiers who stood in front of the gate of the government were under great pressure, and those who, after learning the true situation, wanted to rush into the granary.

Before they got Pei Ji's order, they didn't dare to hurt people, so they had to unilaterally retreat and dodge, and they were all disgraced for a while, so they were not embarrassed.

Behind the dense crowd, a shrill voice suddenly sounded.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

The royal family is always a faith that cannot be violated on the heads of the people.

Hearing the man's announcement, the crowd automatically moved out of the way.

At the end of the road, Qi Changrong walked over in a navy blue robe, with a leisurely and indifferent smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were even more peaceful, exuding a leisurely attitude of not liking things and not being sad about herself.

Looking at her like this, the excited crowd slowly calmed down.

I don't know why, maybe her existence is convincing, because no matter how much annoyance and irritability she has, she will retreat one after another when she sees Qi Changrong.

Unconsciously, Qi Changrong crossed the crowd and stood calmly on the steps of the mansion.

"Lonely here, just make a statement." She said slowly, in a firm and calm voice: "In three days, the relief food distributed by the imperial court will arrive in Huangsha City, and you don't have to worry about starving to death in the city." ”

She spoke in an extremely relaxed tone, which was intertwined with the conviction in her eyes, and people were inexplicably infected by her emotions.

There was a moment of silence in the crowd.

Based on the prince's reputation in Dajin, the people are of course more willing to believe her.

But when basic survival has become a problem, there are still people who make a faint sound of suspicion, but the voice is much quieter than before.

"We believe in His Highness's character, but how can His Highness convince us that the relief food will arrive in time?"

"The existence of loneliness is the best proof." Qi Changrong's eyes were long, he didn't know what he thought, and the smile on the corner of his mouth spread with relief: "No one will want to let a foreign prince starve to death in the famine." ”

Although this sentence was simple, it revealed a lot of meanings, and soon someone realized the true meaning of her words, and asked her in disbelief: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means that you will not run away from the battle and abandon us?" ”

"This is nature, you are the people of the Great Jin Dynasty and my people, and you can't abandon it or throw it away."

As early as in her previous life, she swore that she would do her best to let the people of Dajin live a peaceful and joyful life.

Even if you live again, the promise still counts.

This is her obligation, and it is also a burden that cannot be put down on her shoulders.

Since he is respected and admired by them, he should plan for one side.

Listening to her promise, the human affection was irrepressibly silent.

At this moment, no amount of questioning can be said by them.

Qi Changrong is a dignified prince, she should have been carefree in that prosperous imperial capital, but because they were exhausted.

How many emperors in the world can do this kindness?

At the moment when it was confirmed that the granary was indeed burned, many people were worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ordered to come down to quell the chaos, but when there was no food in the city, would the prince leave halfway?

As soon as the prince leaves, what else is there in Huangsha City worthy of nostalgia for the imperial court?

Sooner or later, this will become another abandoned city of the Great Jin Dynasty - everyone has the same thought in their hearts.

But now Qi Changrong's words have allowed them to overturn all their previous speculations.

Donggong will not give up Huangsha City, nor will it give up on them.

Everyone was silent, looking up freely, it was clear that Qi Changrong's body was thinner than ordinary people's, and there was even a weak pale on his face, which seemed so vulnerable.

But for some reason, they just believed her words.

There are always some people in the world, who are blessed by God, born noble and elegant, with a unique calm bearing, even if they just stand there and do nothing, they can become the pillar of their hearts.

And Qi Changrong is such a person.
