Mu Yunqi was awakened by the sound of rain outside the window in the middle of the night, the candles in the house had burned out, and the room was dark.

She opened her eyes and listened to the sound of rain hitting the roof tiles, and recalled Bai Fanxi in her thoughts.

His current situation is like a hostage, although he doesn't know where Nangong He wants to take him, according to the roads along the way, it should be the place where he is fighting with the Northern Army.

If my mother were faced with this situation, what would she do?

Thinking of this, her heart suddenly brightened, and the corners of her mouth raised a smile of relief in the dark night.

Early the next morning, after everyone had finished breakfast, they took out their horses and prepared to set off.

There was a drizzle in the sky, and there was a little coolness in the breeze.

Mu Yunqi sat in the carriage and pondered, and suddenly the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Nangong He bowed down and entered the car.

"Isn't there a carriage in the back?" She looked at him and said.

Nangong He glanced at her, sat on the cushion and didn't answer her.

The carriage drove slowly, and Mu Yunqi looked out the window.

Everywhere you go, there's no one on the way. The light rain that drifted in from the window blew on her face, and the cool wind blew her headache.

Lowering the sash, she coughed lightly.

Nangong He frowned and looked at her, his eyes showed a slight worry, but his face was unhappy.

She glanced at him and asked, "Nangong He, do you really want to send me to the northern country?" ”

He withdrew his gaze from her, looked ahead, was silent for a while, and said, "Hmm." ”

"You're going to send me to Hanxuan's side?"

He nodded slightly.

"Why?" Mu Yunqi asked in a loud voice.

"For the world, for the common people." Nangong He looked at her and said softly.

In fact, he regretted getting into the carriage a little, and he felt very uncomfortable in the face of her questioning.

Mu Yunqi sneered and said, "How righteous and awe-inspiring. ”

"If you hadn't instigated the third brother, how could he have attacked Luzhou in the first place, and if you hadn't brought me to Jinguo, how could Gu Hanxuan go to war? You provoked the beginning, but now you say that you want to live for the common people in the world? Don't you think it's ridiculous? She sneered as she spoke.

Nangong He looked at her with a meaningful gaze and remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Mu Yunqi shook his head mockingly, soothing the pain and discomfort in his heart.

She buried her head in her knees, waiting for Nangong He to relent, she had to make such a gamble.

bet that he was actually in love with himself, and bet that he was also reluctant in his heart. After all, he had also sacrificed his life to save him, she didn't believe it, she didn't believe that he really had no feelings for her.

After a long silence in the car, the last bit of hope in his heart was reduced to ashes in his silent silence and drifted away with the wind.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, Mu Yunqi was unstable, and fell in front of Nangong He and was held by him.

"What's going on?" He asked coldly.

Mu Yunqi raised his head and lifted the curtain.

"Your Majesty, there is a group of refugees ahead." Feng Qing walked to the side of the carriage and said.

"On the official road, how did the refugees come?"

After Nangong He finished speaking, he bowed out of the car, jumped out of the carriage briskly, and walked towards the ordinary man who blocked the way.

Mu Yunqi followed behind him and looked ahead.

An old man sat slumped in the middle of the official road, his clothes in tatters and his face dusty.

Seeing Nangong He walking towards him, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, crying with tears in his eyes: "Ask the adults to save the little people, please ask the adults to save the little people." ”

At this moment, several people sitting on both sides of the eaves of the official road immediately rushed to the official road, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying for help.

Mu Yunqi looked at many people sitting next to the official road, old and young, women and children were sitting on the side, most of the people's faces were withered, their faces were yellow, and a violent cough came from both sides of the official road.

Their eyes showed panic and fear, and they looked cautiously at the official road.

Feng Qing stood in front of Nangong He and asked, "This is the official way, why are you here?" ”

The old man who stopped the way said: "My lord, the soldiers stationed on the official road have all gone out to fight, the small people are the people who fled from the front line, their homes have been destroyed, their money has been exhausted, the soldiers in the city have driven the small people out of the broken temple, and the small people have no choice but to sneak into the garrison mansion of the official road for refuge." ”

If it weren't for the desperate place, how could they dare to stop the carriage on the official road, this road is the way to the front line, and the people who pass through the road are not generals but also high-ranking officials, if it weren't for the fact that there is really no way out at the moment, no one would dare to do such a bold thing with a hundred of their courage.

"The war is not going on at the moment, it is an eventful time, you are blocking the official road, what is the matter?" Nangong He asked sharply.

One of the old men spoke: "Please let the adults save the little people, since hiding in this official road, the little people have not been hungry, and now several young children have starved to death, and they have no choice but to beg the adults and beg the adults to give some food to save the little people." ”

After speaking, several men on the official road fell to the ground one after another, and the old and young women and children sitting under the eaves on both sides looked at the people and horses on the official road, and their eyes showed pleading.

Gong Ran got down from the carriage in the rear, walked to Nangong He's side, and said, "At present, there are indeed many refugees who have been driven out of the city, and I am afraid that the plague will be caused in the city, and the refugees who flow into the city from outside will be driven out of the city." ”

Nangong He's eyes were filled with coldness, he looked at Feng Qing, and said, "Distribute the food bedding in the car." ”

After speaking, he turned to look at Gong Ran, and said as he walked in the direction of the carriage: "You and Linlang go into the city to see what the situation is in the city, and if there are still refugees taking refuge outside the city, immediately inform your father to deal with this matter properly." ”

Gong Ran followed his footsteps and said, "Second brother is going to the front line alone?" ”

"It's okay, it's windy." With that, he stepped into the carriage.

The refugees who received the dry food were so happy that they kowtowed to the carriage and thanked them, and then everyone gathered together in twos and threes and devoured them.

Nangong He lifted the curtains, looked at Mu Yunqi who was stunned on the official road, and said coldly: "Don't get in the car yet?" ”

Mu Yunqi was pulled back by his voice, and immediately stepped into the carriage.

The carriage drove up, and she stared out the window in distraction.

I watched the people whizzing past the window occasionally, and watched them sleep in the open under the tiled eaves of the roofs. In her heart, she blamed herself.

With so many people fleeing in this official road, what kind of lives should be on the front line?

The war caused by her has now reached the point where the people are struggling to make a living. Can she leave without asking about the world? Can you still stay away from this gunsmoke with peace of mind?

She suddenly understood why a person as strong and fearless as her mother would not want to stay in the world. is not only afraid of the world's accusations, but also the never-ending strangulation in the depths of my heart.

If you have not seen what is in front of you, you may deceive yourself into thinking that the world is beautiful and the people are happy. But because of her own existence, she disturbed the original peace of the world, and she couldn't be indifferent after all.

The dark clouds slowly dispersed from above, and the haze shrouded the sky, permeating the heavy and miserable gunsmoke, which could not be dispersed.
