Chapter Seventy-One: The Side Concubine of the King of Donglin

Jiao Niang, Gonggong Qu, and Xiao Comb were placed on the carriage together, and King Luonan rode a horse and galloped towards the direction of Yulin with a team of personal soldiers.

Farther and farther away from Luonan, farther and farther away from the victims surrounding the city wall, Jiao Niang found that corpses began to appear on the ground, all of them were victims who had died of starvation and disease, and their bodies were not buried, so they were spread out on the side of the road one by one, and some wild dogs and beasts blatantly gnawed on these "delicacies".

Gonggong Qu sighed when he saw it, turned his head to the little comb and said, "When I was very young, my hometown was hit by a disaster, and my father and mother took me to escape the famine. When I arrived in Bianjing, my father died, and my mother sent me to the palace in order to give me a way to live. I will never forget the feeling on the way to escape, I was so hungry, so hungry that my tongue could not roll, I was so hungry that Venus appeared in front of me, my ears were buzzing, and the people around me were dying one by one, like mowing grass......"

The little comb listened to the tears, and he was also sent to the palace for his family because he was poor and couldn't open the pot. By the time he saved money in the palace, his family would have long been gone, and the way of the world was that the lives of the poor were cheap.

Jiao Niang grew up in modern times, and she ordered takeout whenever she wanted, even if she traveled to ancient times, she was never hungry. Although she couldn't empathize, she had eyes and ears, and tragedy was happening outside the carriage all the time. How many people were separated from their wives in this famine! How many people are hungry to gnaw on tree bark, grass bark, and finally gnaw dirt to death to death!

The convoy was running faster and faster, and Qu Gonggong was uncomfortable in the car, but no one complained. Everyone wanted to get to the forest as soon as possible and bring back relief food so that they could save some of the people who were suffering from it, and they arrived in one day and one night after a journey of about four days.

There are still people coming and going in the city, singing and dancing, and King Luonan directly took Gonggong Qu and them to the palace of the king of Donglin. King Yulin heard the news that Gonggong Qu was also coming and hurriedly came out to greet him, Jiao Niang originally followed behind King Luonan, and she didn't lift it, but a delicate voice made her the focus of attention of the audience.

"Sister Jiaoniang, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Jiao Niang raised her head in shock, who was the woman who was dressed exquisitely and gorgeously was not Lin Qi? And the king of Donglin, who was shushing with Gonggong Qu and asking for warmth, was actually the mysterious man who was rescued by Lin Qi in Panlong Mountain that day!

Jiao Niang gritted her teeth and thought, this King of Yulin is too young, according to what is written, he is the future emperor?

King Lin also recognized Xin Jiaoniang, he was slightly stunned for a moment and then smiled: "It's really an old acquaintance, Miss Xin and Concubine Lin are fellow villagers!" ”

"That's not a coincidence, Jiao Niang, this child is the daughter of my deceased, and this time she came over because she was a child who wanted to see the world." King Luo Nan smiled kindly, and quietly attributed Jiao Niang to his wings.

"Third prince, our family has come from afar, can we go in and have a cup of tea?" Gonggong Qu can't stand the bumps on the road when he is old, so he asks for this.

King Yulin was slightly stunned and hurriedly invited King Luonan and Gonggong Qu into the mansion, so that people could entertain him with good wine and food, Gonggong Qu wanted to eat the dishes made by Jiao Niang, but he was not interested at this time, he just wanted to finish his work and rest for a few days.

As soon as a few people sat down, King Luonan couldn't wait to express his intention. Seeing that King Yulin had a sad face, he sighed: "It's not that my brother doesn't want to help you, but because of the drought, there is not much grain in the granary of Donglin City." ”

"So the third brother plans to see death or not save him?" King Luo Nan asked with a frown twisted and displeased.

King Yulin said expressionlessly: "In this way, I will give you some of the food stored in the palace, and you can go back for a while." ”

King Yulin's words simply sent them away, and Gonggong Qu smiled: "Now is a disaster year, everyone's life is not good, I still remember that when the first emperor was in power, Weiyang and Donglin also had a great drought, at that time, the king of Donglin asked King Weiyang to borrow grain, and King Weiyang excused himself, which led to the riot in Donglin." After the first emperor settled the account, King Wei Yang was directly beheaded for public display. ”

King Yulin's face was unswerving, Gonggong Qu was obviously threatening him, Lin Qi poured a cup of tea for King Yulin with a smile: "The princess and concubine also want to contribute to the displaced people, but the concubine has an idea, I don't know ......"

King Yulin was riding a tiger at this time, and he needed a step: "I love the concubine, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"There are a few wealthy businessmen in our Donglin City, who specialize in the grain business on weekdays, and we asked them to borrow grain, and when the disaster is alleviated, we will return it." When Lin Qi heard this idea, King Lin nodded again and again, and Jiao Niang complained silently in her heart, can you still be the same when you borrowed the peaceful year during the famine?

"Then trouble the third brother to help us think of a way! We'll be back tomorrow afternoon at the latest. "King Luo Nan understands that the grain of rich merchants is not so easy to borrow, but now as long as he can get food for emergency relief, he can't manage so much.

"In that case, you guys rest first, and I'll arrange it." King Lin nodded, turned around and said to Lin Qi again: "Concubine Ai, be sure to entertain the fourth brother and Gonggong Qu well." ”

"I know, please rest assured."

Jiao Niang looked at Lin Qi coldly, she looked like a noblewoman, dressed in a lilac palace robe, her hair stood up, a purple step was inserted obliquely, and a peach blossom was carefully pasted on her forehead, and her sweet smile was even more charming.

Lin Qi sent him away, and King Lin asked his subordinates to clean up the guest room, and she also affectionately took Jiao Niang's hand and said: "My sister and I haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a good talk about it in a while!" ”

Jiao Niang only felt a chill, she did a bad thing to her at that time, which indirectly led to her whole family being imprisoned. Lin Qi was so calm, and greeted her affectionately and with a smile.

King Luonan didn't know about the grievances and grievances between Jiao Niang and Lin Qi, he nodded: "In this case, Jiao Niang will catch up with Concubine Lin!" Gonggong Qu and I went to the guest room to rest. ”

Jiao Niang watched King Luonan and Gonggong Qu walk out, while Lin Qi, the beautiful snake, was sitting beside her and looking at her with a smile.

"I don't know how Concubine Lin's family is?" Jiao Niang was very unhappy to see Lin Qi's hypocritical smiling face, anyway, Lin Qi would not let go of this opportunity to do something to her, and she was happy to find Lin Qi a little unhappy.

Sure enough, Lin Qi put away his smiling face and said with a calm face: "Thanks to you, my grandparents couldn't stand the suffering when they went to prison, and they all died." Lin Qi stared at Jiao Niang's eyes and said the word "death" very seriously.

"Oh, that's a pity, Concubine Lin's festival." Jiao Niang said that it was to make Lin Qi mourn, but the tone and expression were like saying that the weather was good today.

Lin Qi stared at Jiao Niang viciously, and then smiled again: "Xin Jiao Niang, your life is very good, and your reputation is rotten to that point." I actually encountered a war and a drought, and who still remembers your little bit of? I was waiting for you to kill yourself in shame! ”

I know it's your little watch smashing. Jiao Niang scolded all kinds of scolding in her heart, but the surface was calm.

"Hehe, Concubine Lin didn't want to die of shame and indignation if she wanted to occupy the magpie's nest, why should I be framed by someone, why should I seek death and life." Jiao Niang glanced at Lin Qi, hehe, the person who can talk about her hasn't appeared yet!

"You! Xin Jiaoniang, your parents originally saved my life, but I didn't kill you last time. From now on, ask for your own blessings! Lin Qi smiled coldly, she could have sent someone to kill Xin Jianniang when she was released from prison before, but she endured it because she cared about the kindness of Xin Jianniang's parents to save their lives. But now she just wants to pinch Xin Jiaoniang to death!
