Chapter Fifty-Six: The Lights Are Gone

When she arrived, everyone was busy, and those infected with the plague were isolated and had a special team to take care of them. Xia Xiaoxuan knew the signs on their bodies, and these were all Xiao Jiajun's people.

These makeshift tents are rudimentary and barely inhabitable. The old man and the child are all yellow and thin, and they have suffered a lot at first glance. Some children pick up wild fruits under the trees to eat, and some directly pull weeds and nibble them.

Xia Xiaoxuan couldn't bear it, and distributed snacks such as snacks she brought to those children. Those children didn't even bother to say thank you for a few days, so they took it and stuffed it into their mouths. Some almost choked, and the adults rushed to bring water. There are still many children who have not been distributed, and they are looking at her with blank eyes. She was also embarrassed, she was just worried that she would eat on the way to be hungry, and she didn't think about it that much.

"I'm sorry little friend, my sister will bring you more delicious food next time, okay?" She rubbed a boy who was about the same as Ah Liang, and there was infinite pity in her eyes. If her Panlong Village was still there, she would definitely take them to the mountains, but she was now a sojourner, so she was powerless.

"Miss Xia, hurry up and get out of here, right? The prince is over there. Tsing Yi hurriedly reminded him, because this is the hardest hit area, and if Miss Xia is infected, it will be miserable.

Xia Xiaoxuan left with Tsing Yi, and the eyes of those children followed her obsessively, hoping that she could still make up for food.

"Hasn't the imperial court taken over? Didn't they give them food? Seeing that those victims were still hungry, Xia Xiaoxuan asked Tsing Yi puzzled.

"The court just wanted to drive them away, and it was the prince himself who asked for a decree to appease them. The grain of the imperial court has not yet been allocated, and the treasury and grain and grass have always been managed by the regent. The prince has already ordered some military rations to be transferred first, and the emperor will discuss this matter with the regent. “

Hearing Tsing Yi's words, Xia Xiaoxuan was angry in her heart. "The treasury and grain and grass are all managed by the regent, so what is the emperor in charge of?"

Tsing Yi bowed his head and was silent, Xia Xiaoxuan also guessed that in fact, the emperor was an empty shelf, and his power could only manage his harem.

Soon she saw the dark figure in the crowd, even if he was wearing ordinary civilian clothes today, and he didn't even wear a jade crown on his head, just a silver hairpin tied up at will. But his proud posture, outstanding temperament, and celestial appearance make it easy for people to see where he is at a glance.

At this moment, he was busy arranging something with a few subordinates, his face was solemn, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and it was completely different from when he usually abused her with evil charms.

Looking back, he saw her too. After a few words of explanation to the people around her, her slender legs stepped away and strode towards her. With a look of displeasure on his face.

"Why are you here?" As he spoke, he glared sternly at Tsing Yi behind him.

"It's none of his business, I'm here myself." Xia Xiaoxuan hurriedly defended Tsing Yi, lest he be innocently implicated by himself.

"Hurry back." Xiao Junluo grabbed her arm and dragged her down the mountain.

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay and help." Xia Xiaoxuan broke free from his hands and said seriously and stubbornly.

Xiao Junluojun's face sank, and his tone was a little colder, "How can you help?" Will you see a doctor? Hurry up and let Tsing Yi send you away, don't make a mess. “

"Who said I don't know how to heal? I can cure even simple diseases. "Since they're all here, she's definitely not leaving.

The two stared at each other, and neither of them would back down.

"Master, Miss Xia is also worried about you, so she insisted on coming." At this time, Tsing Yi

finally said a word, which eased the atmosphere of the two.

Seeing that Xiao Slut's face softened, Xia Xiaoxuan didn't explain. Xiao Junluo's heart was warm, and he stepped forward to hold her hand, and his phoenix eyes were shining, "Are you really worried about me?" “

It would be false to say that he was not worried at all, because he is now his benefactor, and she still expects him to support him. So he nodded forcefully and looked at him pleadingly, "You just let me stay, I promise not to cause trouble." “

As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers and swore an oath.

Xiao Junluo was amused by her appearance, pulled down her hand, and said angrily: "It's okay for you to stay, but listen to me, don't run around, otherwise I'll go back immediately." “

"Got it, lord! What can I do now? "As long as I can stay, I looked around and saw where I needed her.

"What will you do?"

"I can do anything?"

"Then be my sidekick, right?" A certain prince was ashamed and pulled her towards the largest tent.

"Lord Wang, you are too illiterate, don't you think this is too big and useless? You are called a tyrannical creature. "She's not here to serve him, she's here to use her spare heat.

Xiao Junluo curled his lips and smiled, pulled her all the way to the tent, and pressed her to the chair.

"Xia Xiaoxuan, let's settle an account. What can you do? How many people do you think you can help? “

Xia Xiaoxuan didn't understand why he suddenly asked like this, but she also thought about it seriously, "It's no problem for me to take care of ten people alone." "If it's not that he's very sick and it's too hard to serve.

The other person nodded in agreement. But he said, "Then do you know how many refugees there are here?" “

"Yes...... Two thousand, right? She also glanced at it just now, but she still didn't quite understand what he meant.

"Two thousand five hundred, to be exact, and one thousand people were sick."

I didn't expect there to be so many people, but this is also survived, it is estimated that in my hometown and on the road, I must have died a lot, and I am lucky to be able to escape to the capital.

"So what?" Puzzled looked at him.

"Even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't take care of it, and it may exhaust you to death in the end."

Xia Xiaoxuan stood up suddenly, "I'm not an idiot, why do I have to exhaust myself to death, and then ......" Before she finished speaking, she was pressed down by the other party again.

"Listen to me first, do you know who I am?"

A certain woman looked at the person in front of her for three seconds, and then asked, "Why are you asking such an idiotic question?" "Who doesn't know who you are? Do you need to say it again?

"So do you know that my fate is in my hands? As long as I say a word, they can live or let them die. “

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Just to show off himself?

The man looked like an idiot, shook his head and sighed: "So you work hard to take care of them, and you may not be able to save them." It's better to serve me well, as long as you serve me well, it is equivalent to saving everyone, why not? “

Now her mind finally turned a corner, and this is how feelings are counted. But what he said seems to have a point, but what role does she play in this?

"Okay, don't think about it. When the master came out, he didn't bring anyone, you went to help me boil water and make tea, and my throat was on fire after a day. “

Xiao Junluo waved at her,

Begin to look at the case presented by the doctor on the table.

sent her away like this, Xia Xiaoxuan felt that she had a belly of fire, but she couldn't send it out. While boiling water, she slandered in her stomach, if it weren't for the fact that he was really hard, she wouldn't have served him. But is she a shit? It's okay to run here to be a maid for him. If Yin Yin knew, she would have made fun of her again.

Complaining is complaining, Xia Xiaoxuan is not ignorant, what should be done is still to be done. And she also discovered that Xiao Slut is really serious when he is busy with business. This small day is indeed hard enough, in addition to appeasing these refugees, but also running for their livelihood.

The emperor sent a secret letter, and the regent refused to allocate food to the victims on the grounds that the treasury was empty. Even the emperor's face dares to refute, how arrogant should this regent be? The most hateful thing is that he even said that these victims have been infected with the plague, and in order to ensure that the plague does not spread to the capital, they should be burned with a fire.

Xia Xiaoxuan became popular when she heard it, and it was all a fresh life. God has the virtue of a good life, sweeping the floor does not hurt the lives of ants, people like him are simply inferior to beasts.

The regent can't care, but Xiao Junluo can't ignore it, he can't watch these refugees starve to death and die of disease. But the military rations are also limited, and if the military rations are gone, what will happen to those soldiers? In case there is really going to be a war, those soldiers don't even have food to eat, how can they fight.

Xia Xiaoxuan saw that he was sad and didn't sleep well for a few days and nights, so she suggested that he go to fundraiser. Xiao Junluo finally became a little interested and motioned for her to continue.

This fundraising has been used in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and it is the so-called support from all sides when one party is in difficulty. But this fundraising can't have him say that he wants the emperor to open his mouth and directly raise donations in the court. In this way, more people will donate money and food, at least for a while.

Xiao Junluo praised her for being smart after listening to her plan, and hugged her and kissed her on the cheek, kissing her with saliva all over her face. She was about to scold angrily, but saw that the man was already excited and hurried to write a recital. Looking at his handsome face, which has obviously lost weight in the past two days, she naturally has no seizures.

Hearing that there were many precious herbs and many birds on the mountain, she decided to come back with some wild food to improve Xiao Junluo's food.

The conditions here are poor, not as good as the palace, and there is everything delicious. Since Xiao Junluo came here, he has always been like everyone else, with dry food to eat and soup to drink. That is, a person like him who has endured all kinds of hardships on the battlefield will suffer, and if he is replaced by other gentlemen, he will not be affected by this sin. The little marquis of the night sent food over once, but he didn't even go up the mountain, so he put down his things and patted his ass and left. Not to mention the others, who want to be in trouble for nothing.

At this point, she felt that Xiao Junluo was worthy of her respect, so she was willing to do anything for him.

It seems that since the two of them have resolved, there is not so much estrangement between each other. Remove her prejudice, I feel that Xiao Junluo is really good. At least in the imperial court, he is the one who sincerely asks for his life for the sake of his name.

When he arrived in the mountains and forests, he took out his own small bow and arrow, aimed at a flying wild goose in the sky, and was about to launch it, when he heard someone talking behind him.

"Girl, can you let it go?"

This voice is very good, it seems to be a little familiar, Xia Xiaoxuan had to withdraw her bow and arrow, and turned back curiously, wanting to see which one was troublesome and dared to destroy her business.

There is a saying, suddenly looking back, the man is in the lamplight. This sentence is very correct to describe Xia Xiaoxuan's mood at this moment.
