The matter of naming the train, Lu Heng also asked His Majesty Li Er when he made the decision.

Although the latter has some meaning of great joy in history, he is not too serious in this regard, and also told Lu Heng that it is enough to name the first train Zhenguan, and there is no need to use his own name.

Lu Heng was naturally disrespectful, and by the way, he also took out the naming rights of the two trains behind him and began to tempt Li Chengqian and Cheng Chumo, two stupid boys.

Hey, hey, it's hooked!

At the mouth of the alley, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chumo looked at each other, but finally made up their minds and walked inside.

This alley has no name, but because beggars always gather here, the people privately call it beggar alley.

The real deal.

As soon as they walked into Qi'er Lane, Li and Cheng clearly felt the scrutiny coming from all around.

It's still winter, and the corners of the alley are full of sloppy paving. The covers were by no means thick, and some of them were even holed, but the people who were wrapped in them did not feel that there was anything wrong with them, and their faces were red from the cold.

This is a scene that Li Chengqian and Cheng Chumo have never seen before.

There was not a single adult in the entire beggar alley, all children ranging in age from a few years old to a teenager.

Most of the children who were curled up in the blankets lay quietly, as if to save their energy and allow them to eat less.

The most terrifying thing is......

They couldn't even tell if the beggars were really sleeping or starving.

As the crown prince of the dynasty, Li Chengqian could not imagine that the Tang Dynasty had been peaceful for a long time, but now there are still so many children begging on the street for a living, and there is not even a broken temple that can shelter from the wind and rain in winter.

He has always looked down on beggars.

In the eyes of most normal people, they have hands and feet, but if they go to any landlord's house to do long-term work, they can also rely on their own skills to eat. Shouldn't kneeling on the side of the road begging for food to be spurned for?

However, seeing this scene now, Li Chengqian seemed to suddenly understand something, and stood on the spot.

He remembered a poem that Lu Heng had casually said before, and then turned his head to look at Cheng Chumo.

"Silence...... When I was chatting with Sunrise earlier, I asked him why he was so desperate to kill the family. ”

"In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Risheng and Xingyang Zheng became like that, and then the five surnames and Qiwang jointly suppressed him, but in the final analysis, the only person who wanted to kill him was Zheng Rentai, and the rest of the people did not really kill him."

"Now Zheng Rentai has been detained in prison for nearly a year, and his father has been standing still, because he wants to wipe out the family when the time is ripe."

"My father can't get used to the arrogance of the family and the virtue of faintly wanting to override the royal family, so it is natural for him to do it."

"But why is the sunrise?"

Although Cheng Chumo has seen a wider range of the world than Li Chengqian, he is also a rich boy after all. He had seen the bloody scene of the battle, but this kind of thing in front of him was unheard of.

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo also looked over blankly: "Why?" ”

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

"Sunrise didn't speak for a long time, and then he chanted a poem to me."

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road."

"He hopes that the Tang Dynasty he lives in will not only be strong and powerful, but also ...... Heqinghai"

"And everybody can afford to read and eat."

"At the time, I didn't understand why he said that, but now I finally do."

"In terms of pattern...... You and I are far inferior to him! ”

Sometimes, it's not that people don't want to live, it's that the world forces them to live.

Just like these beggars in front of you.

Why aren't there any older ones? You can guess a rough idea.

Either they died before the age of twenty, or they were older enough to beg here for a living.

After a long time.

Cheng Chumo suddenly squatted down, took out a piece of cake he had prepared before from his arms, and put it in front of a cover roll closest to him.

He said kindly, "Son, when did you start staying here?" ”

A small head emerged from the bedding roll.

The child's face was dirty, he couldn't see men and women clearly, he was about ten years old, his face was yellow and thin, but his eyes were purring.

"Is this cake for me?" The child stared at the coarse bread and answered the question.

Cheng Chumo nodded helplessly: "It's for you, take it and eat it." ”

Just in the blink of an eye.

The kid had already taken the cake in his hand and began to devour it directly!

Whether it was Li Chengqian, who was standing, or Cheng Chumo, who was squatting in front of the child, he was stunned for a while.

Of course, the bread was not worth much, and it could be bought with a few copper plates, which they were ready to use.

The problem is that this thing is a dead dough cake, bigger than the child's face!

I'm afraid that an adult woman can't eat it all, let alone a child about ten years old!

He didn't even drink saliva!

"You, don't choke on it......" Cheng Chumo was at a loss, for fear that something would go wrong with the food, and he didn't dare to snatch it back, after all, the child's eyes were green from gnawing on the cake, almost like a wolf who had been hungry for half a month.

"If I don't finish it...... You're gone...... The cake is not mine......"

The child slurred as he ate.

Hearing this, the two big men were shocked and looked back.

Really!

I don't know when it started, the beggars who were huddled in the rolls had already poked their heads out one after another, staring directly in the direction of the three people.

It's a whole bunch of glowing eyes!

Cheng Chumo shuddered: "My God...... This is Beggar's Alley, just change the name to Wolf's Den! ”

Li Chengqian silently moved behind him: "It is said that wealth is not exposed, who would have thought that a piece of dead bread would also be called revealing wealth...... Chu Mo, why don't we go back first? ”

After a brief silence.

There was a loud hiccup behind the two.

Looking back, the kid had wiped out the whole piece of bread in just a few moments.

By the way, I also took a broken bowl and took a few mouthfuls of rainwater into it!

The child wiped his mouth with his sleeve and smiled at them with a mouthful of white teeth, which grew whiter against the background of his dirty face.

"Two nobles, what do you want to ask, just ask, but anyone who knows will definitely tell you!"

Cheng Chumo hesitated for a moment and said the question he had been thinking about for a long time.

"I want to know, are you a boy or a girl?"

Child:......?

Although he didn't quite understand, the child replied in a low voice after scratching his head.

"You don't look like you guys, I tell you quietly, I'm a woman, don't say it!"
