156 Encounter with the Assassins

Houses in nearby towns and villages have collapsed in large areas, and a large number of victims have poured into the city. The streets are lined with ready-made tents that serve as temporary shelters. Grain and quilts were brought in from nearby counties as supplies for emergency relief.

But these are limited, and for so many days after the earthquake, food and quilts are not enough.

Two cauldrons were placed at the entrance of the government office, and they were distributed once in the morning and at noon. On the first day Xiao Junjue came, the porridge was still dry, and on the fifth day, the rice grains were not visible.

Xiao Junjue looked at the bowls of porridge with only clear water, and looked at Meishan Zhixian with a dark face, "Didn't the imperial court send out disaster relief food? Why are there only a few grains of rice in this porridge!"

The magistrate of Meishan arched his hand towards him, respectful on the surface, but there was no awe in his heart, "Back to the prince, the aftershocks have been continuous recently, and the road near Shu has been blocked, and the disaster relief materials sent by the court have also delayed the process. But Xia Guan guessed that he would be able to arrive in less than five days. ”

"Five days, then do you want so many disaster victims to drink water and wrap their stomachs every day?" Xiao Junjue glared angrily, and there was gloom in his eyes, "Isn't there still rice in your county granary?"

Zhixian Ai Ai Ai was stunned, and then said: "There is not much rice in the granary, if you take it out all at once, I am afraid that it will last less than five days and there will be no food, and at that time, you will not even be able to drink this rice soup with a few grains of rice." ”

Xiao Junjue sneered, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "This king sees that all the rice in the granary is given to you to eat." ”

The county commander was sincerely frightened, and hurriedly knelt down, "The lower officials don't dare, the grain in the granary of the county government belongs to the public, and the subordinates will never dare to make good use of it." ”

Xiao Junjue looked at him coldly, snorted heavily, and walked away.

This corrupt official, I'll clean him up later.

Rong Zhao's delicate face was extremely inconsistent with this situation, she was dressed luxuriously, and it was simply out of place compared to the depressed color on the long street.

There was a disgusted expression on his face, and he frowned everywhere.

"It's so dirty, the streets are all dirt, and my clothes are all dirty. She wore clothes with a skirt and a silk garment as thin as silk, which made her inconvenience.

"It stinks, it smells of pig, this is where people live. "There were dozens of people gathered in one tent, and everything smelled. She hadn't gone in yet, she was just sick and vomiting.

"Princess Chu, you are good, give me a little more food. Our family of eight has so little food every day, and we really can't eat enough. ”

One of the women grabbed her clothes, and she threw them away, "Don't touch me, your stinky hands are all dirty, and you have stained my clothes, do you know how much silver I have in this dress, which is enough for your family of eight to feed for a year." Get out of the way, touch me again, and I'll have someone pull you out and cut off your hand!"

When a beggar saw that she was dressed luxuriously, she went to beg, she covered her nose and hid, shouting bitterly, "Stinky for food, you stink to death, stay away from me." People like you, just thinking about getting something for nothing, want me to give you money, you can dream about it. ”

Xiao Junjue was on the other side to appease the people, and when she heard Rong Zhao shouting like this, and her words were mean, the anger in her heart suddenly rose, and she walked to her in three steps and two steps. As soon as he grabbed her wrist, he dragged her away.

"Where are you taking me?" was dragged by Xiao Junjue, and Rong Zhao didn't know what was going on. She wanted to withdraw her wrist, but where was Xiao Junjue's opponent, and she was pinched by him.

"You let go of me, you hurt me. Xiao Junjue didn't answer her and walked all the way, but it could be seen that he was angry.

Walking to a dilapidated house, Xiao Junjue threw her in, she didn't stand firmly, and almost fell.

"Xiao Junjue, what are you crazy about!"

"I'll let you reflect here, and if you don't know what's wrong, you won't be allowed to come out. Xiao Junjue's voice was like a surging thunder, and she closed the door with her hand.

"Where am I wrong? Xiao Junjue, let me out, let me out. Rong Zhao slapped the door panel hard, shaking the dust on the door. Choked for a moment, Rong Zhao covered his mouth and coughed a few times.

"Good girl, reward me. ”

"Reward me with something to eat. ”

Rong Zhao turned around and saw that this house was full of people, no, it should be said that this was a beggar's nest.

They were all dressed in tatters, dirty, and unkempt and ghostly with their hair. They all looked at her with wide eyes, and some dared to approach her.

"Ahhh......h

"Still scolding, it's really unrepentant!" heard Xiao Junjue's angry voice from inside.

"Xiao Junjue, you bastard, I hate you!" Rong Zhao shouted. She looked at the beggars who were all standing up one after another, leaned against the door panel, and pointed at them, "You are not allowed to come, do you know who I am? I am the princess of Chu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the most favored niece of the saint today, if you dare to offend me, I will let the emperor's uncle cut off your head." ”

Leaning against the door, she slid down little by little, shrunk into a ball, crying, but still domineering, "You are not allowed to come near me, you are not allowed to come near me, I will cut off your heads......"

Qiushui and Gu Yu came in a hurry, and wanted to open the door, but they were frightened by Xiao Junjue's eyes, "If any of you opens the door for her, this king will chop off your hands!"

Listening to Rong Zhao's cry, Qiushui couldn't hold back at first, and looked at Xiao Junjue's sharp eyes, "Lord Wang, you misunderstood my young lady." She is mean-mouthed, but she is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and you only see her yelling at the woman, but you don't see her giving her a bag of silver. There was also the beggar, she said she wouldn't give it, but she asked the slave to buy a few steamed buns for the beggar. ”

Qiushui still held two big steamed buns in her hands, "Yes, the slave admits that our young lady speaks ugly and open-mouthed, but her heart is not so bad." ”

Xiao Junjue heard her say this, and listened to Rong Zhao's cry inside, thought about it, and finally opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Rong Zhao rushed out, hugged Qiushui and cried, Qiushui calmed down for a long time before gradually calming down. When she turned around and saw Xiao Junjue, she rushed up and punched and kicked him, "Xiao Junjue, you bastard, you are not human!"

Xiao Junjue ruthlessly pushed her away, "This time it's just to teach you a little lesson, and if you insult and ridicule others like this again, I'll let you stay here for the rest of your life." ”

"I insult people and ridicule people, that's what I'm willing, what's the matter with you?" Rong Zhao was indignant, wiped his tears, and looked at him fiercely, "They were originally a group of pariahs, what happened to me scolding them, it was their honor to be scolded by me." ”

The nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty were born with a sense of superiority. They treat civilians like mustard and don't treat them as human beings at all, and the same is true for Rong Zhao.

Xiao Junjue's eyebrows suddenly showed disdain, word by word, full of disdain, "What if you have a good background? Can you scold others at will? Let me tell Rong Zhao, no matter how noble your background is, in my eyes you are as humble as dust." ”

"No matter how humble I am, I'm better than my mother!" Rong Zhao blurted out, not a brain at all.

Xiao Junjue suddenly raised his hand, but he paused in the air again, and Rong Zhao raised his head, "What? You still want to hit me? ”

Xiao Junjue was calm, disappointed in her, and even felt that it was superfluous to be angry. He put down his hand and endured it slightly, "You are a noble princess, I Xiao Junjue is not worthy, and when I return to Changge City, I will enter the palace and ask my father to leave for you and me, and we will be in peace." ”

Heli and Li, Cheng Tian only thinks about Heli, is he eager to quickly reconcile with her, and then marry Rong Wan into the door, Rong Zhao shouted hysterically, his chest undulated and stretched like a mountain, "Go and go, whoever doesn't go is Wang Ba!"

The two of them broke up in two, Rong Zhao was puffed up, and the soles of his feet walked out like the wind. I didn't know that after just a few steps, suddenly there was a sword light, like she attacked.

The blade of the sword was aimed at her eyes, but she was stunned on the spot, and her body stiffened involuntarily. thought she was dead, but suddenly her waist tightened, she was held in the air by Xiao Junjue and spun around, avoiding the knife, and the assassin was also kicked to the ground by him and spat blood.

It's just that Xiao Junjue was not so lucky, the knife happened to cut his arm.

Even Rong Zhao was blindsided, looking at Xiao Junjue's arm, she said stupidly: "You...... You're bleeding. ”

Xiao Junjue glanced at her coldly, let go of her, and shouted "Night Stalker", only to see the Night Stalker coming in the air, and subdued the assassin in an instant.

"Lord Wang, are you okay?" The night owl looked at Xiao Junjue's injury, twisted his brows, and looked at Rong Zhao again, his eyes were not good.

Xiao Junjue said: "It's nothing. He swept over to the Assassin, "Take him back and find out who it is." After speaking, he left without looking at Rong Zhao.

was saved by someone, and he also blocked a knife for her, Rong Zhao didn't feel good in his heart. He could have avoided her.

I don't know how he was injured or how deep it was. There was so much blood shed, it must have been heavy.

She was on a stool, her hands folded under her chin, the light of the candle shining on her face, flushed red.

Seeing that she was distracted, Qiushui asked in a tentative tone, "Is Miss thinking about the prince?"

"Who cares about him?" Rong Zhao stiffened, "I wish that assassin had killed him directly, and it would be better to die, so that I would be free." ”

Gu Yu and Qiu Shui glanced at each other, they were both very helpless, why is the young lady's mouth so duplicitous?

Lonely Eagle quietly opened a bottle of gold sore medicine, meaningful, "This is still given to me by my master when he was leaving, saying that no matter what kind of injury, it will be fine as soon as it is applied, and I don't know if it is true or false." She put the medicine bottle in a conspicuous place, and then glanced at Qiushui, "Qiushui, didn't you always say that you want to learn to make osmanthus cakes with me? ”

Qiushui secretly pursed his lips and smiled behind Rong Zhao's back, and nodded, "Okay, but I'm very stupid, it will take a long time to learn, you have to be patient." ”
