Chapter 357: Hide the Silver!
She needed to find a place to settle down first, and Yunqing came to the city and found a small inn.
After all, this place is not comparable to the capital, Yunqing originally thought that the Liangyue Kingdom was so strong, and the country should also be very rich and strong. I never thought that along the way, I would be much poorer than I imagined.
This inn is not a big place, but fortunately it is clean and tidy.
There were a few people sitting in the lobby, three or two at a table.
Yun Qing simply asked for two steamed buns and a stack of side dishes, ready to pad his stomach.
But I listened to a few slightly drunk strong men at the next table bragging together.
"No wonder we can't beat the Han people! Just treat us ordinary people like this, we deserve to lose!"
“......”
"Oh, be quiet, don't you want to die?!"
"Lao Tzu is loud, anyway, our lives are like mustard, and we have been desperately squeezing our little people all these years, what is it!!"
"Who made us incompetent!"
“......”
This conversation is clear and cloudy.
After filling his stomach, Yun Qing asked Xiao Er to pick the bath water to the room.
Seeing that the little second chief was dumbfounded, Yun Qing smiled and stuffed some silver into him and said, "Little second brother, what do those drunkards mean by being in the lobby just now?"
"You don't know?"
"This is not a business at home, running away all the year round, didn't you just come back? ”
Xiao Er didn't pay much attention, "It's no wonder that this phenomenon has only happened in recent years." Our country originally respected the strong and bullied the weak, but this situation has become more and more obvious in recent years, but fortunately you are gone, those people who have no power and no power have been squeezed to death by their superiors!"
Yunqing: "...... How can this be?!"
"You can't blame the above, our Liangyue country is in a bitter cold land, the land is barren, it is not good to grow food, in previous years, we had to give supplies to the Han people, Khitan and others, and there is no money above, so they will squeeze us. Especially in the war a while ago, we, the little people, were robbed of money if they had money, and those who had men in the family were arrested and sent to the army, but in the end we still lost!"
Yun Qing probably understood why the Liangyue Kingdom was going to fight, this was indeed not a good place. However, it is not a wise move to oppress the common people.
"Isn't there anyone to take care of this situation?"
"Why no one cares, the fourth prince and the little princess have been in charge, but what's the use, so the king still doesn't want to see the two of them!"
“......”
"Oh, the little one is too talkative! You, listen to it and it's over!"
“......”
Yun Qingben just inquired and it was over, she came here to find Rong Cheng, and the situation in Liangyue Kingdom had nothing to do with her.
I rented a house in the city and stayed there for the time being.
In fact, Yun Qing knew in his heart that since he had made up his mind to find it for a lifetime, he couldn't be in a hurry. Just take your time.
On this day, Yunqing went to the street to buy vegetables, and suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps not far away.
The people on both sides of the road knelt down instantly.
Yun Qing was stunned and knelt down.
Two sedan chairs slowly drove through the long street, the sedan chair in front was extremely luxurious, pulled by four jujube red horses, and the woman's laughter faintly came from the sedan chair.
In contrast, the blue-gray sedan chair in the back is much simpler, pulled by only one horse.
When the team was far away, Yun Qing casually pulled a passer-by: "Excuse me, whose sedan chair belongs to Fang Cai? ”
"Who else, second prince. Now in addition to the king, the second prince dares to make such a big show, and in the sedan chair in the back, there is a good chance that he is a national teacher who has just arrived for a long time!"
"National teacher?"
"Well, I heard that it was brought by the witch-sama, and she is a very strategic character, but it's a pity that she assisted the second prince...... Alas...... We, the people, are afraid that there will be no way to survive in the future!!"
Yunqing: "......"
After returning to her residence, Yunqing began to cook in the kitchen, and she suddenly felt that she could not continue like this, obviously this ghost place was not a good place to live.
It's just that who can I ask about things on the battlefield......
Just as Yun Qing was deep in thought, the door suddenly rang.
Yun Qing opened it and saw that it was the neighbor's two little beans, the two children were wearing ragged clothes, thin and pitiful, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are you here?"
The two children hung their heads, seemingly embarrassed. Shy tugging at the corners of his clothes.
Yun Qing was stunned for a while before he reacted, and said with a smile: "Have you two had dinner?"
"No, there is nothing to eat at home. ”
Yun Qing sighed, and couldn't help but soften his heart a little.
"I happened to make a lot tonight, so let's come in and eat together. ”
Yun Qing boiled the green vegetable broth tonight, steamed two more big steamed buns, and the two children devoured them.
"Eat slowly, don't choke......" Yun Qing went to pour warm water for the two children, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw this.
She is also a mother, and when she sees these two children so pitiful, she can't help but feel pity.
"How long have you been hungry?"
Even in the past, Yunqing didn't think that anyone's child was starved like this.
They all seem to be honest children, and if they weren't really hungry, they would be embarrassed to come to her to beg for food.
The two children were full, wiped their mouths and said, "We haven't eaten in two days." ”
Yun Qing frowned slightly and said: "How can this work, how old are you, no matter how poor your family is, you can't stop eating!"
"But we really don't have anything to eat at home......"
"How could it be ......?"
"Now the rich or the officials send people to our people's homes to loot, and they don't care!"
Yunqing: "......"
This, this is also ridiculous.
The two children thought about what the memory adult had said, and said with Yun Qing: "My mother said, those rich people don't treat the people as human beings, only valuable people are left, and it doesn't matter if we people are dead or alive." ”
Yunqing: "......"
Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, Yun Qing said: "Those big people, do they often loot the people?"
"Every once in a while. ”
Yun Qing breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he was lucky, he hadn't been robbed by that group of bastards during the time he had lived in.
She had a large sum of silver with her.
When the two children were leaving, Yun Qing stuffed some food for them: "Take it back and eat it." ”
This kind of kindness still exists in Yun Qing's heart.
After the two children left, Yun Qing immediately found his silver ticket and prepared to hide it.
It's certainly not safe to hide at home. Yun Qing believed that those ordinary people would not be stupid enough to leave the silver open and wait for those bastards to loot it, I am afraid that they will not dig three feet into the ground......
Yun Qing thought about it, and there was a mountain not far away. It's better to hide there!
Before looking for Rong Cheng, he couldn't starve to death.
......
It was getting dark outside, and Yun Qing carried a lantern and came to the hillside.
This kind of barren mountain inevitably has lonely graves, ten thousand winds gusting, and the lanterns in Yunqing's hands are swaying from side to side.
Yun Qing was afraid of ghosts in his previous life, and even afraid of the dark. But in some ways, she can be considered a ghost if she dies once and can come back, so what else is there to be afraid of......
Yun Qing carried the lantern and found a towering tree that was more conspicuous, and then began to dig a pit, preparing to hide his belongings.
Yun Qing's hands and feet were nimble, and he quickly hid it. Just as he was about to go back to rest, he faintly noticed a fire not far away.
Yun Qing didn't want to meddle in things, but after thinking about it, what if someone saw him hiding the silver?
Thinking like this, Yun Qing relaxed his steps and returned to the tree, ready to wait for the fire in the distance to disappear and hide in another place!
This was supposed to be a foolproof strategy, but who knew that the fire not far away was getting closer.
Yun Qing immediately extinguished the lantern in his hand and half-lay on the ground.
In the dark, looking at the figure, two extremely tall men walked in front of him.
One of them said: "Your Highness, today's king has praised His Royal Highness, looking at the current situation, it is not good for us!"
"It's not because of the national teacher who came suddenly......" The man's voice was very good, and there was a touch of boredom in his tone: "Originally, the second child was a drunkard and a meaty man, and the third child had a compassionate heart, and his father couldn't look down on any of them, where did that national teacher come from!!"
"I heard that the shrine maiden brought it back from the battlefield!
“......”
The two gradually walked away, but Yun Qing's heart couldn't stop beating wildly,
Han...... It's actually a Han man!!
Could it be......
Just like a person who fell into the water found a piece of driftwood, Yunqing began to be calm......
After returning to his residence, Yunqing almost stayed awake all night.
......
Indeed, the two men did not reveal any other valid information other than saying that they were Han Chinese. If it is said that it is Rong Cheng, it is somewhat far-fetched.
After all, with Rong Cheng's identity, if he was still alive, those people in the Liangyue Kingdom would be eager to put him to death. How could he be allowed to come over, and what kind of national teacher did he do.
But now, if there is a glimmer of hope, Yunqing will never give up......
Following
Yun Qing, who had not slept all night, was very energetic, as if he saw a glimmer of light because he saw such a faint glimmer of hope.
Yunqing was making breakfast in the kitchen, and she made some more this morning, ready to send some to the next door. After all, it's not easy......
Suddenly, I heard the sound of ping-pong coming from next door. At first, I thought it was a husband and wife quarrel, but the more I listened, the more I felt that something was wrong.
In the end, I came to the next door to take a look, but I saw some well-dressed characters who looked like officials, grabbing things.
The family was already poor and didn't even have anything to eat, but these people still came to search for it as usual.
The two were ready to resist, but they were pressed to the ground and punched and kicked. The two little beans were crying on the side.
Yun Qing felt that they were too much and were about to come forward. Suddenly remembering something, he turned around and prepared to leave.
She's not a bad person, not to mention that she can't help in today's situation, and it's still a question of whether she can protect herself.
It's a pity that at this time, an officer and soldier noticed her.
"Who?!"
“......”
