Chapter 103: Nan Ke Xiaoyu
In 1044, in the five states, Beizhou, floating corpses were plugged into the river, and starvation was everywhere, and it is no exaggeration to say that the people here are living in a dire situation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are many reasons for such a devastated scene, such as the arrogance and indulgence of the upper class rulers, such as the laziness and habits of ordinary people, and the accumulation of natural disasters and rampant goblins.
However, one of the main ones, and at the same time the reason that everyone has a lingering and helpless cause, is the sudden death of the king of Beizhou, and the new king of Beizhou has not ascended the throne for a long time.
......
In the small town of Nanke, under the dim sky, on the lifeless streets, the cold wind is swirling, the fallen leaves have accumulated a thick layer, and there is a dead silence in the field of vision.
I don't know who is a little boy with a tiger head, at most two or three years old, with a belly pocket, innocent, somehow, at this time, he stumbled all the way to the middle of the road.
The road was uneven, and the boy happened to step on a pit under the fallen leaves, and immediately tripped over, and then a fart squatted on the ground, and immediately cried.
Almost at the same time, the sound of wheels rolling could be heard in the distance, and after a while, a Xuanmu chariot appeared at the end of the road, pulled by three purple-eyed horses, and was running quickly in this direction.
The boy was still sitting on the ground, shivering and crying helplessly, but there was not a single adult around.
I don't know how long later, when an old woman with gray hair finally flashed out in the alley on the corner of the roadside, the cart had already rushed to the boy's approach, and it was about to crash.
The evil servant who drove the car was dressed in a soap suit, his eyes were gloomy, and the expression on his face was even more fierce, he had obviously seen the boy on the ground, but he did not have the slightest intention of slowing down.
Just as the old woman was hunched on her back, stretched out her thin arms, and shouted "Don't ......" to the middle of the road with all her might, the wheels of the cart had already run straight over the boy......
In the 1044th year of Jiashen in the Wuzhou calendar, on both sides of the main road in Nanke, a small town in Beizhou, on the branches of those old trees, the last few dead leaves, after struggling for a long time, were finally cut down by the cold wind, and they fluttered on the empty road like that, without making a sound, and without any ripples......
The scrawny old woman sat in the middle of the road with the boy's body in her arms, crying silently.
It wasn't until a long time later, when the wheels of the Xuanmu chariot could no longer be heard rolling and the evil servants on it, that the shadows of a few people were scattered around.
After a long time, the dying old woman in the middle of the road and the boy in her arms who had long since died were gradually surrounded by the few people in the town.
In response to the tragedy that had just occurred, some of them hid their faces and sobbed because of empathy; some pointed at the old woman and gossiped about it; some of them were numb and dull in their eyes and expressionless; but more of them were cursing in small or even loud voices, cursing the cruelty and inhumanity of those in power, and cursing this netherworld abandoned by God.
......
I don't know when, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old melted into the crowd, her eyebrows and eyes were handsome, her face was delicate, although her clothes were equally plain, but her whole body exuded a sense of nobility, she stood in the middle of the crowd, although she was not tall, but she was extremely conspicuous.
The girl stared silently at the old woman in the middle of the road, frowning slightly, and silent, she herself may not have realized that the jade teeth had left a neat row of marks on them because of the clenching of the pale silver beaded lips.
After a while, although the girl's eyes did not turn, she suddenly opened her delicate mouth, and seeing the situation, it seemed that she was going to confide in someone, but she said:
"Uncle Xiong, is this true, has my land of Beizhou really been eroded to this point?"
With that, she grabbed her weak and boneless little hands, and her jade-like nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, leaving a pale silver blood mark.
"Princess...... This one...... I'm afraid I'll have to ask your teacher, Lord Hedan......" A voice rang like a bell, responding to the girl's inquiry.
At this time, I found out that behind the girl, there was a big man, and the voice just now came out of his mouth.
I saw that this big man was nine feet tall and round, but the upper body was strangely long and the lower body was extremely short, it was a standard Chinese character face shape, the bones were majestic, and the nape of the neck was slightly uplifted, and the whole feeling was like a powerful brown bear.
"Uncle Xiong, what should I do?"
"Princess, we ...... We're weak now, and those bastards are already in trouble, so we're afraid for the time being...... There's nothing ...... be done yet."
"I don't want to watch Heddan turn my Beizhou into a new hell!" the girl turned and looked up into the big man's eyes.
The big man didn't know how to answer, and his straightforward eyes were a little dodgy at this time.
The girl turned back, looked again at the middle of the road, and after a while, continued to ask:
"Is this Nanke Town Lord the same Ren Gou Huan that Hedan recommended to me a few days ago?"
The big man nodded, barely squeezing out a "yes" from his throat.
"I can't imagine that this guy has been arrogant and domineering to such a point! Hedan, Hedan! In vain, you have raised such eagles and dogs in vain for three terms, and Mingli has praised them like stars, but this fang is really a beast! If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that my Beizhou really had such an inhumane act! Hmph! It's nothing more than deceiving me when I'm young!
Alas...... I'm the princess of Beizhou...... It really deserves it......
Alas...... It seems that I am not the king of Beizhou after all!"
Although the voice is still immature, the words are truly compassionate, and the heart of the king is fully revealed. It's a pity that her age is too shallow at the moment, her foundation is unstable, and she has been deeply misunderstood by the lower-class souls.
It turns out that this girl is the current princess of Beizhou, that is, Gui Xiaoyu, who is called 'Jingning True Jade' by the people of Beizhou, and the giant man who follows her is her entourage and one of the twelve generals of the Beizhou Hades Palace.
Just a few days ago, the previous Nanke town lord suddenly died, and Fu Cheng Hedan then recommended Ren Gou Huan to Gui Xiaoyu as the new Nanke town lord in the Hades Palace, and boasted that he was like a star and a natural talent.
Because Gui Xiaoyu didn't have the slightest understanding of this Gou Huan, of course he didn't believe it, but under the pressure of Hedan, he couldn't refuse in person, so he put the proposal on hold for the time being on the grounds of poor health.
Gui Xiaoyu, who withdrew from the court meeting, was full of doubts, and he had the idea of going out of the palace to investigate in person. It's a pity that the Hades Palace is full of Hedan's eyeliner, so it wasn't until today that Gui Xiaoyu finally got out of the Hades Palace without realizing it with the help of the 'War Bear' Gang Tower.
Nanke Town is not far away, and one of the abilities that the 'War Bear' Gang Tower is proud of is agility, so Gui Xiaoyu was carried by the Gang Tower, and it didn't take much time to arrive, and it happened that at this time, she bumped into such a tragic scene in front of her.
Gui Xiaoyu listened to the crowd for a while, endured the curses and misunderstandings of the king of Beizhou in the mouths of many people next to him, and barely sorted out the whole thing.
It turned out that the old woman was the boy's grandmother, and the boy was only more than two years old, and he was very curious and active on weekdays, but today the old woman didn't pay attention, and let him run to the street alone, and happened to catch the new town lord Ren Gouhuan's Xuanmu Yuan car drove by, so there was the previous tragedy.
"When did this Ren Gou Huan become the lord of Nanke Town, why don't I know at all?" Gui Xiaoyu asked Gangta.
Zhan Xiong Gangta replied: "Princess, almost all affairs in the Hades Palace are now decided by Fu Cheng Hedan, including the appointment and dismissal of this town lord. Although he openly asked you for your opinion in the court meeting, in my opinion, in fact, the position of the town lord of Nanke has already been promised to Ren Gouhuan by him. ”
After listening to Gangta's words, Gui Xiaoyu's face was pale, a pair of small hands were clenched tightly, and the bone joints had already made a "gurgling" sound.
"Uncle Xiong, let's go. ”
"Where are you going?"
"Back to Hades!"
"Princess, don't be impulsive, it's not the time yet, you must learn to be patient first. ”
"I've endured it long enough, let's go back, even if I can't overthrow Hedan's hegemony, I will destroy the prestige of these dogs first!"
“......”
......
In Beizhou, 1044, the whole of the Five Prefectures was shrouded in a layer of black fog, and the black fog had become substantial, like mud in the gutter, and the people under it all lowered their heads, because even if they raised their heads, they couldn't see a trace of light at all.
The royal city of Hades is more like a giant paper ship, in the wind and rain, there is a danger of capsizing at any time, and I don't know what those behind-the-scenes helmsmen are greedy for, if they can't see the light, and they will capsize at any time, then what's the point of taking a little blood or fat in your hands and tasting it in your mouth?
The moon will finally pierce the desolation, and then she will shine her purest light on those who need her guidance most, because they are not willing to live in the darkness of the mist. Just as the Great Wilderness of Nanzhou was completely cleansed into a paradise by a heavy rain, in the land of Beizhou today, an even more violent storm is brewing. When trust finally dispels doubts and gives mature wings to young hearts, what awaits this land and sky will be a rainbow as brilliant and dazzling as the return of the king.
