Chapter 223: Parting

The bumper harvest of potatoes attracted the attention of the imperial court. The imperial court immediately sent people down to check, and after confirming that it was true, they prepared to promote this crop throughout the country. However, there is a problem in popularization, the problem of seeds. The seeds of potatoes are the potatoes themselves, and now only Axing has the seeds of this crop in the entire Tang Kingdom, even if they are introduced from abroad at this time, but the potatoes themselves are also the staple food of other countries, and they are not full, so what excess potatoes are sold to the Tang Kingdom in large quantities to make seeds?

In view of this, Ah Xing donated the potatoes produced in his farm this year, except for a batch of farms for his own use, and the rest were donated to the imperial court as seeds for the whole country. The emperor was very happy for this, and personally summoned Ah Xing in the main hall, and saw that Ah Xing was the woman who had the courage to refute him, and his heart was even more happy.

It is also A-Xing's good luck, and now that the emperor is troubled by the disaster, he is naturally happy to know this good news, and he is so excited to be so enclosed in A-Xing. Mrs. Anwar. Generally, it is a title that can only be obtained by officials who have made great contributions to the imperial court or the wives of high-ranking officials. Mrs. Anwar, in addition to seeing the Empress Dowager, she needs to salute, even if she is the emperor's concubine, she does not need to bow and kneel. Now if Ah Xing and Yuanfeng participate in the banquet between officials, the relatives of those officials, the wives, and the nobles who have humiliated her, no matter how unwilling they are in their hearts, they still have to bend their knees to Ah Xing and call them Mrs.

Even Zhang Qingqiu, the daughter of Zhang Xiang, is no exception, no matter how she pretends to be calm, no matter how she forcibly maintains her demeanor, but when she had to bow her head to Ah Xing, her face couldn't help but be a little distorted, and after she went back, she smashed everything in the room that could be broken. I haven't been out of the house for a few days.

In addition, for Ah Xing's move, the happiest and most grateful are the farmers all over the world. You must know that what farmers can live on is the land, and the harvest in the land is determined by God's mood, such as potatoes, a crop with strong vitality and high yield, for them is like a life-saving straw. In the hearts of these people, they seem to regard Ah Xing as a fairy lady specially sent down by God, and for A Xing, their hearts are full of infinite respect and gratitude, so they almost carved a clay statue and put it in the house every day to kneel and worship.

But the disaster in the Tang Kingdom continued. The following year, the drought, the flood, and the locust plague did not disappear because of everyone's prayers. In some impoverished places, news began to spread that people were dying of starvation, and the price of rice continued to rise, and farmers often did not eat the next meal. The potatoes were not much of a seed and the harvest was limited, so the potatoes were left for planting next year, so they did not help the disaster this year. Requests for grain and disaster relief flew to the imperial court like snowflakes. Among them, there are still many people who fish in troubled waters and fill their pockets, so that the disaster situation is even more serious, more and more people are affected, and the situation of displaced people is getting more and more serious, and at the end of the year, there are even tragedies of cannibalism in some areas where the disaster is serious.

But at this time of crisis, a wail suddenly came from the Tiandu Palace

At the beginning of December, the old emperor died of a heart attack due to overwork.

The following year, the crown prince ascended the throne.

Three months after the crown prince ascended the throne, the three princes rebelled and led troops into the capital. Zhang Xiangyi resolutely supported the new emperor and fought with the three princes to the end, and then Shen Yuanfeng, who was known to the Jingwei Tongzhi, was brave and invincible, so the three princes and one party were defeated. Keep the peace of the capital. The three princes fled south with a group of rebels, and the new emperor was furious and sent troops to pursue them desperately. For several months, the state affairs were delayed by the counterinsurgency, and the food for disaster relief was diverted to the counterinsurgency army. The whole country is full of mourning, and there are dead bodies on the road.

In addition, the new emperor died in this battle, and the new emperor included Zhang Qingqiu, the daughter of Zhang Xiangz, into the palace and made him the queen.

On July 14, Shen Yuanfeng received the decree of the new emperor, and was awarded the title of general for the protection of the country for his meritorious service in quelling the turmoil, and immediately sent reinforcements to the south to quell the turmoil.

That night, Shen Yuanfeng returned home to say goodbye to A-Xing.

This night, Shen Yuanfeng seemed to use all his enthusiasm to fight Ah Xing to the death, and after the love, the two hugged each other, both drenched in sweat.

Shen Yuanfeng stroked her face, carefully brushed the strands of sweat-stuck hair on her face to the back of her head, his eyes were full of tenderness

"Ah Xing, I don't know how long it will take me to come back, you have to take good care of yourself at home."

A-Xing got into his arms, her face pressed against his naked/naked skin, feeling his strong chest muscles, his skin was moistened with sweat, and the burning body temperature was pouring out of his skin. A breath that belongs to a man fills her nose, and she feels the ultimate sexuality in her body. But now Ah Xing still has the heart to appreciate these, at this time her heart is filled with the sorrow of parting, and she can't wait to go with Shen Yuanfeng, but she also knows that there are rules in the army, and as the commander of an army, she must not take her family to fight.

"Yuanfeng, too many things have happened in the past two years, it seems that all the bad things are gathered together, I'm really worried, Yuanfeng, I don't care if you can quell the chaos when you go to the south, and whether you can make meritorious contributions......" She raised her head and looked at him, her eyes were a little red: "You must come back safely, I will wait for you at home." ”

Shen Yuanfeng looked at the delicate and incomparable face in his arms, his heart was full of tenderness, he couldn't help but lower his head, kissed her lips, over and over again, as if he couldn't kiss enough, after a long time, he reluctantly let go of her

"Don't worry. I will definitely come back safely. Your husband is out of the horse, who will compete? He deliberately said it in an exaggerated tone to make her laugh, but Ah Xing pulled the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't laugh.

Shen Yuanfeng sighed, gently stroked her face with his hand, and said softly: "I'll be fine, I will definitely return to you." ”

Ah Xing nodded and threw herself into his arms, but tears couldn't help but flow out, this was their first parting after marriage. And he still went to the battlefield, thinking of the scars he was all over, how could she not be worried?

She couldn't help but complain: "These three princes are really, when the first emperor was there, he had already warned him and given him a chance, but I didn't expect that as soon as the first emperor died, he would dare to rebel!" When is it now, it is too late for the imperial court to help the people, and it has to devote so much effort to quell the chaos, this three princes have lost the heart of the world by doing this, and An can not be defeated? ”

Hearing this, Shen Yuanfeng showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while, he said softly: "Actually, I have always felt very strange, although the strength of the third prince is not bad, but because of the frequent actions before being discovered by the first emperor, the first emperor made a warning, he reined in, secretly cut off a lot of wings, in exchange for the forgiveness of the first emperor, and now that the first emperor has just died, he has such strength to rebel, it is really strange!" ”

Ah Xing said: "Isn't there someone secretly supporting?" ”

Shen Yuanfeng nodded and said, "I think so too, but who is it?" He thought for a while, and then said to himself: "This time I go to the south, I must find out the root of this bane, otherwise I am afraid that Tang Guo will not be peaceful in the future." ”

When Ah Xing heard his words, she couldn't help but feel an ominous feeling in her heart, she was full of excitement, and hurriedly hugged him tightly, and said, "Yuanfeng, you must be careful, don't take risks!" ”

Shen Yuanfeng lowered his head, rubbed his chin lightly against the top of her head, and replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely." ”

Night. Shen Yuanfeng went out overnight, and before leaving, Ah Xing took his hand and sent him to the door, with a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word at this moment.

She took out a piece of brocade from her body, stuffed it into his hand, and said, "This is my newly embroidered one, and you can take it with you." ”

Shen Yuanfeng took the brocade handkerchief in his hand to his eyes and took a look, only to see that it was a pure white silk handkerchief, embroidered with an orchid grass, and there were four poems on the orchid grass "Life and death are broad, say with Zicheng, hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son." ”

Shen Yuanfeng's heart moved, his eyes turned red, he held her hand, and called softly, "A-Xing......"

A tear fell from the corner of Ah Xing's eyes, she turned her face away, gently wiped away the tears, and then turned around and smiled at him: "Go, don't worry about me, I will definitely take care of myself and wait for you to come back." ”

Shen Yuanfeng nodded, reluctantly let go of her hand, turned over on the horse, and left sideways. After walking for a while, he took the reins again, and looked back, but saw Ah Xing standing under the big tree in front of the door, the night mist lingering around her, her figure was misty and could not be seen clearly, as if it was a phantom, Shen Yuanfeng's heart rose a strange feeling, he gathered his mind and waved his hand at her, and saw that she was also waving to him, and then rode away.

Ah Xing watched his figure gradually disappear into the night mist, and couldn't hold back any longer, tears streaming down.

After Shen Yuanfeng left, Ah Xing often couldn't sleep at night, in a trance, she always felt that Yuanfeng seemed to be walking towards her, and when she got up to see, the room was dark and lonely, where was his figure, it turned out that she was thinking about it day and night. In this way, I miss him even more in my heart.

The family knew that Shen Yuanfeng was going on the expedition, and they were afraid that A-Xing would be lonely, so they asked her to come back to live for a while. Ah Xing didn't want to live in that house alone, so she temporarily moved back to the theater to live with her parents and sisters.

With her parents and sisters as her companions, A-Xing gradually got better.

A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and there is still no news coming back, although Ah Xing knows that the road is far away, and Shen Yuanfeng is still on the journey, but she is still a little uneasy in her heart, Chen Jing comforted her: "Don't worry, Shen Yuanfeng came out of the battlefield, how brave he was in the battle with Garo back then, this kind of small war can't be difficult for him!" ”

Soon after Ah Xing got married, Chen Ying became a relative, Chen Jing wanted to go out to see because she had stayed by Ah Xing's side for a long time, so she said goodbye to everyone, went out alone for two years, and only came back recently.

At this time, Yun Duo ran in and hurriedly said, "Ah Xing, it's not good, you sent someone from the village to say that a mob rushed to your farm to rob your grain!" ”

Ah Xing was shocked and stood up: "Where is the person?" ”

The clouds let the messenger in, and Axing was a nurse in the village. A-Xing asked, "What happened?" ”

The nurse was covered with sweat, and his face was full of anxiety: "Third Miss, two days ago, there were homeless people who came to our manor to rob us of our food, we closed the gate and guarded everywhere, thinking that these homeless people would leave, who knew that not only did they not leave, but also cut down nearby trees, and hit our gate since the last night, seeing that we couldn't resist it, Steward Zhou hurriedly sent a villain to report to Miss." Third Miss, let's think of a way, those people are crazy with hunger, I'm afraid that as soon as we enter, they will rob us of our food! ”

A Xing's farm originally stored a lot of grain, but because of the bad harvest for two consecutive years, plus A Xing couldn't bear to make the farmers in the village hungry, and had been helping them, and the food in the department store has not been broken, so there is not a lot of grain left in the past two years, at most it can be supported for another year, if it is robbed by these people, then in the next few days, what will the hundreds of people in the farm and theater eat? Now is a time when there is no silver to buy food! Moreover, in the past two years, the business of the theater has decreased significantly, and it can only be maintained, and there is no money to be made at all, and the owners of the theater basically rely on the farm to eat.

Ah Xing immediately made a decision, and immediately transferred the guardian of the theater and Wusheng to the farm, in case these homeless people really made trouble and hurt people.

Chen Jing grabbed Ah Xing and said, "Ah Xing, I'll go with you too." ”

Next to him, Yun Duo and Chen Ying also said that they wanted to go over together.

Ah Xing said to them: "Don't go, you don't know martial arts, you can easily get injured when you go there, Sister Chen Ying has just given birth to a child, and her body has not fully recovered, so you have to rest well." ”

Li Runfu was worried about his daughter, walked to her side, and said, "Ah Xing, don't go over too, it sounds weird and terrible, we might as well report to the official!" ”

"Now there is turmoil everywhere near the capital, and the court is in chaos, how can we have spare time to relieve our worries? We are on our own. Ah Xing took her father's hand and comforted: "Daddy, don't worry, my martial arts have made great progress in the past two years, and there is no problem with self-preservation." ”

Chen Jing also said: "Uncle Li, I will follow Ah Xing every step of the way, and I won't let her have anything to do!" ”

Li Runfu also knew that the food problem was very important, and when he heard them say this, he nodded, but he was still a little worried in his heart, and wanted to go with him, but he was also afraid that his incompetence would cause trouble to his daughter, so he could only sigh and sit aside in silence.

Ah Xing and Chen Jing took about dozens of people in the theater to ride horses, ride in cars, and hurried to the farm.

Before I arrived at the farm, I saw a lot of homeless people sitting on the side of the road, most of them were old and weak, women and children, all of them were yellow and thin, ragged, and full of bitterness and sorrow. At this time, some people were lying on the ground, covering their stomachs and panting weakly, some people were lying on the ground with their eyes wide open to find something to eat, and the surrounding plants, whether they could be eaten or not, were all in their stomachs, even ants and reptiles did not let go, but looking at their appearance, it seems that even ants and reptiles can not be found now.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the men raised their heads one after another, and when they saw a group of well-dressed people approaching this direction, they all rushed towards the horses with no regard for whether they would be kicked to death by the horses.
