Chapter 372: Stepping into the Wolf's Den
The girl obviously saw Song Yang as well, waved her slender white jade hand at him, and greeted him in a friendly manner.
If it weren't for the wrong timing of the girl's appearance, Song Yang would really think that she was an innocent and romantic woman, at least a harmless woman.
"Protect your lordship." The officials shouted in unison, and immediately stood by the battle, not daring to relax any longer.
The clothes on the girl's body, I don't know how many bells were hung, jingled when she walked, this crisp and pleasant sound, but it was particularly shocking in the bloody battlefield.
"Are you a big official?" The girl stopped outside the wolves, looked up at Song Yang and asked.
"This official is the prefect of Dry City, and Song Yang is also." Song Yang's voice is warm, unless he is extremely angry, it sounds provocative.
The girl looked at Song Yang for a while, then smiled again and asked: "The officials of the Great Zhou are all like you, handsome, who don't know martial arts but are willing to risk their lives for the people, can they get their subordinates to protect each other desperately?" ”
Song Yang raised his eyebrows and did not answer the girl's question, because the other party was not worshipping, but just playing with himself.
There was no reply, and the girl showed no signs of irritation, and her smile did not change, as if she had only been born to laugh.
"Come with me, I'll let you be my colt, I promise I won't take these people's lives." The girl glanced at the officials, not caring about their annoyed expressions, and pointed in the direction of the village with her jade finger and said, "The people of this village can also live." ”
"The people on the mountain are also in your hands?" Song Yang asked in a calm voice.
"Hmm." The girl nodded, with a smug expression, "They also want to kill my baby, but their ability is more than these people." ”
"Are they still alive?" Song Yang asked again.
"Most people live, and I need strong labor, so as long as you are willing to obey me, you can live." The girl giggled again, "You Da Zhou people are so good, you know that I need to use people, so you send people to assist me, officials and hunters are much better than those untouchables who can only farm." ”
Song Yang was angry in his heart, but his face was not obvious.
Some of the officials were furious, and they were about to slash at the girl with a knife, "Lao Tzu killed you!" ”
"Stand down!" Song Yang let out a low snort to prevent the official from being sent to death in vain.
"My lord, this demon girl's words are not credible, she can let the wolves kill innocent people, she is a demon!" The official shouted angrily.
"The official asked you to step down, did you not listen to the officer's orders?" Song Yang shot a look, and the official forcibly held back his anger and took a step back.
The girl tilted her head sideways and waited for them to finish her sentence before asking, "Have you thought it through?" Be my colt, or do you want to die with these people? ”
"This official will not betray himself for anything, not to mention that this official already has a favorite woman, and he will definitely not betray her in order to survive." Song Yang walked out of the carriage as he spoke, stood on the wheel, looked at the woman condescendingly, and said, "This official can be captured by you, as long as you swear to the gods you believe in, you will not harm these people and the people in the village again." ”
"Is the woman you like as beautiful as me? Is my identity as noble? The girl's smile stiffened, but she asked.
"She is the most beautiful woman in the world, not only beautiful, but more importantly, she is very kind." Thinking of Zhou Jin, Song Yang's eyes were full of tenderness, which was enough to make any woman envious and jealous, "It doesn't matter whether her identity is noble or not, I Song Yang will not care about the other party's background when I marry a wife, as long as she is the woman I like and is willing to marry me." ”
"Kindness?" The girl was silent for a while, and then sneered: "These two words are the most useless and ridiculous, if you can't even save your life, what's the use of being kind?" ”
Song Yang didn't talk, because in his opinion, it was useless to talk more, and there was no need to waste his lips and tongue on this issue.
"You are the princess of this princess, you can only be the princess's concubine, this princess will definitely let you understand that the woman in your heart is not even as good as the princess's hair!" The girl's smile was a little gloomy, "You like kind women, this princess will be kind to you, as long as you stay by this princess's side, these people and the village can live, this princess has time to make this princess like!" ”
Song Yang calmly got out of the carriage, patted the official who was still protecting him, and said in a low voice: "Don't make senseless sacrifices, take care of your injuries in the village, someone will come to save us." ”
"How can we leave an adult alone in danger? Even if we are captives, we have to be with adults. The official shouted excitedly.
"This is the officer's order, and it must be obeyed!" Song Yang pulled away the officer, stood in front of the wolf, and shouted at the girl: "You have arrested the official's people and let them all go, and the official will go with you and will never break his word." ”
"Since it's your person, it's also the princess's person, so why bother with it if it's already been caught?" The girl laughed and said, "Besides, you also need someone to serve by your side, and Princess Ben thinks those people on the mountain are just right." ”
Song Yang knew that the other party had given in, and after a little thought, he stepped into the wolves, without the slightest fear, and calmly made people can't help but pay attention, and was impressed by his momentum.
Even the girl's eyes were a little more admiring, the first time she saw the literati of the Great Zhou Kingdom dare to walk through the wolves alone, the key party should be a big official who sacrificed his subordinates for his own life.
"Interesting, this princess has decided, and you must be willing to be this princess's concubine!" The girl laughed out loud, turned and walked off the way she had come.
After Song Yang crossed the wolves, he stopped and turned around, looked at the officials who were kneeling on one knee to see each other, gently pulled the corners of his mouth, and waved goodbye as he had done when they were separated.
As Song Yang's figure disappeared, the wolves retreated to the sound of the flute, but the officials fell to the ground unsupportively, and the snow under them was stained red with blood, and they couldn't tell whether it was theirs or the wild wolf.
"We need to heal our injuries as soon as possible and find someone to help save the adults!" A servant lying on his back on the ground shouted.
"Yes, you must save the adults back!" The crowd agreed.
In the village chief, the wood stumbled out, crying along the way to tell Song Yang not to go with the bad guys, the village chief behind him was so frightened that he covered his mouth several times.
Not to mention the situation on Song Yang's side, Song Xingchen walked slowly all the way, and finally joined the rescue team that came from behind.
Because the people in the rescue team are all children of Beijing officials, and a few are the children of wealthy businessmen, although they are not officials, their power cannot be underestimated.
Because of the arrival of these people, the officials of the counties and towns actively cooperated with the rescue operation, but they were much stronger than Song Yang's strength alone, especially those county orders who came to gild, for the benefit of their own families, they must also do their best to assist the 'little masters' of their own families.
After a month's time, Song Xingchen finally approached the government area, and he didn't have to work hard every time he settled down, after all, the vanguard team in front of him had already passed by, which greatly alleviated the disaster situation in various places.
"Miss, the road ahead is already clear, if we stop less, we can reach Fucheng in three days." Apple was worried about Song Xingchen's situation and signaled to wait for Song Xingchen's arrival here, but it was not difficult to see from her frowning brows from time to time that Apple was already a big girl with something on her mind.
"I can't see my eldest brother when I go to Fucheng, so he doesn't know which village he is in." Song Xingchen chuckled, stroked his already bulging belly, and rested on the soft pillow.
"When the uncle first came to Dry City, many officials here were waiting for death to eat, and they didn't obey the uncle's orders at all, and I don't know how much suffering they suffered." Apple sighed softly.
If it weren't for the fact that they had seen too many tragedies along the way, they really didn't know that the folk customs of the dry city were like this.
Don't say that the inaction of those county orders and town mayors is that some village officials dare to blatantly embezzle ink, otherwise with the relief materials distributed by Song Yang in advance, how could the people have such suffering?
Some village officials still have a conscience, and there are not too many greedy people, and some of them immediately distribute the remaining relief materials to the people after the disaster appears, otherwise more people will die in the cold.
Song Xingchen smiled lightly, and her cognition of human nature once again made her feel speechless, there are inevitably corrupt officials everywhere, and officials who are really not fake for personal benefit are simply rare.
The difference is that among the corrupt officials, there are people who have no conscience, and these people can be regarded as fish in the real water when the water is clear.
"The rescue work is nearing the end, and now the top priority is to put all the snow into those ditches and canals, so that next year's farming will not be short of water, as long as the autumn harvest next year is better, the people will willingly do water conservancy, and the officials will also increase the management of this area for the sake of political performance, and the situation in the dry city will be truly alleviated." Song Xingchen chuckled and said: "Big brother's hard work this year is to wait for this winter, this heavy snow has brought disaster, and it will also bring hope to the people." ”
"The slave knows that Miss is kind-hearted, but Miss you are not an official of the imperial court, even if the royal family gives Miss the status of Qincha, Miss must remember that she is pregnant, and these things will be left to those officials. Besides, those people in the rescue team have special identities, and their words are very effective, and the young lady should also give them a chance to perform. Apple got up, put a bowl of warm soup, and served it to Song Xingchen, "Miss should be thinking about the child in her belly, in the eyes of the slave, there is nothing more important than the healthy birth of the little master." ”
"When did Apple learn the strawberry set? This chatter, isn't he afraid of annoying people? Song Xingchen joked, but still took the soup and tasted it, "I've gained a few pounds along the way, is this still called no rest?" ”
"Everyone else has gained dozens of pounds when they are pregnant, and this bit of meat of Miss is nothing at all, if Mrs. knows that Miss is still tossing in her arms, she has to rush over and bring Miss back." Sitting next to Song Xingchen and massaging her calves, Apple said in a low voice.
Thinking of Song Lu's family, Song Xingchen laughed, "Fortunately, my mother is not around, otherwise she would have to nag me to cover my ears, and I have to feed like a pig every day." ”
"Isn't that what everyone who is pregnant should be? What's more, the conditions of our family allow. Apple looked at Song Xingchen with some confusion.
"You girl still doesn't know too much, Miss, I'll give you a science popularization today." Song Xingchen put down the soup bowl and said very seriously: "The most taboo thing for pregnant people is to eat too fat, as long as they are healthy, they should exercise more if they are fine, so as to avoid dystocia." In the past, when I was in the countryside, unless I was the kind of woman who couldn't eat enough at home and didn't have the strength to give birth, there were really not many women who had difficult births. But look at those noble ladies, nine times out of ten, the first child is dystocia, because they don't exercise and eat too fat, otherwise when the two sisters and the second sister-in-law are pregnant, how can I let them eat less and walk more if they have nothing to do? ”
"But Miss was taught a lot of lessons by Madame because of this." Apple thinks that Song Lu, who has given birth to several children, is more reliable.
"Well, it's because my mother is poor and afraid, and she has always felt that the approach of rich and noble families is the most correct......" Song Xingchen opened the conversation box, committed to changing Apple's thinking back, otherwise she would be the one who suffered.
It's just that Song Xingchen didn't know that she was teaching the girls around her, but Song Yang stepped into the wolf's den, otherwise she would be desperate to save Song Yang.
