243. I really didn't expect it

Yang Shiqi looked at the road in the dark with round eyes in guilt, and said, "We can't stop, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Zhenguo Gong are still waiting for us." ”

Yang Shiqi had forgotten that he was originally sent by Zhu Di to Huazhou, a place where the earth moved, just because he was sure that Zhenguo Gong was lying, not because he was asked to save Cheng Yuan and Zhu Gaochi.

The officials looked at Yang Shiqi, who is usually very particular, with a scruffy beard tonight, and they didn't understand what happened to this scholar.

"Master Yang, there is a water source ahead, so you can wash and wash." The generals reminded.

"Yes, Yang Gong, wash up, wash up."

No matter how presumptuous the generals are, they also respect the cabinet scholars very much?

Yang Shiqi took the willow branch and poked it in his mouth, and then saw that the other officials were surrounding him and handed him water.

Looking at such a difficult situation, Yang Shiqi only felt that he never wanted to come here again, and he never wanted to be a good person again.

This place of earth movement is really not a place for people.

While walking, everyone gnawed on the dry food in their baggage, trembling, although someone supported Yang Shiqi again, but he was really hanged by the old birthday star, and his life was too long.

Some soldiers persuaded Yang Shiqi to go slower.

Yang Shiqi shouted: "Huazhou is the place where the ground movement is the most serious, the people, His Royal Highness the Prince, and the Duke of Zhenguo still don't know how, they are all living such a hard life like reconstruction."

How can this official be so slack and live up to His Majesty's grace, go quickly. ”

"However, Your Majesty asked us to go to Huazhou to verify the authenticity of the reconstruction." There are officials who always remember their purpose.

Several imperial histories of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are also bitter.

"Yang Gong, three or four miles away, it is Huazhou, where the ground movement is most serious, you can see the prince and Zhenguo Gong there."

"yes, yes." Several other Imperial History Roads.

Yang Shiqi said: "You have also seen the ruins along the way, and it has become hell to come to Huazhou, and let's take a look at the reconstruction." ”

Well, everyone was convinced again, how did this Yang Gong become compassionate.

When he saw the stone tablet of the Huazhou land boundary, the pathfinder immediately came to report: "Master Yang, this is the Huazhou boundary in front of this." ”

"yes, hurry up."

Then, Yang Shiqi was a little angry, and pointed to the pathfinder: "This is Huazhou? You're sure you're not in the wrong place. ”

"Back to Yang Gong, it is indeed Huazhou."

Yang Shiqi wiped his eyes and ...... in the distance Where are the ruins in the distance? Along the way, the traces left by the ground movement are all there.

But here, there are really only people who come and go carrying wood, carrying stones, and stepping on mud, and the smoke curls in the distance, and occasionally sees rocks, and even the stinky corpses cannot be found.

It turned out to be a village, probably a village that had just been renovated. The overall outline is already there, in the early morning sun, everyone talks and laughs, and constantly takes off the mud bricks to use.

There are also many people on the embankment, there are no rocks, the ruins are almost gone, and the children are playing happily there.

On the opposite hill, new wood is constantly being cut down, and the sound of cutting trees echoes in the mountain, and the rows of wooden houses are three, and the rows are like soldiers.

Yang Shiqi looked back at the thousands of people behind him, and felt that they seemed to be fleeing.

"This is Huazhou? Is it really as serious as it was reported? Yang Shiqi was puzzled, but there were still people filling in the gaps where the ground was cracked.

Everyone was puzzled, and Yang Shiqi felt that he should ask about the situation.

Yang Shiqi walked to fill the gap and asked, "Dare to ask, is this Huazhou?" ”

The man looked at them strangely, then saw the soldier in armor behind him, nodded and said, "This is Huazhou." ”

"Impossible. Isn't the ground shaking in Huazhou very serious? A few imperial historians asked.

Everyone came to Huazhou with great difficulty, hoping to find an answer, and they worked hard to look around, eager to find someone to ask if this is Huazhou.

After all, there is no trace of ground movement here, but it looks like a peach blossom paradise.

Yang Shiqi led the soldiers and horses into the area where the house was built, and several children stopped to look at them curiously, and a few even ran around them, not afraid at all.

Further inside, I saw several women surrounding a pool of white lime, which seemed to be guarding something.

They just glanced at Yang Shiqi and continued to do things.

Yang Shiqi didn't wear an official hat, because the wings of the hat were too easy to be scraped by tree branches, so he walked there with his hat.

However, the usually clean and neat beard is gray and a little embarrassed at the moment, and the usual politeness is all gone, which is really embarrassing.

Yang Shiqi pursed his lips and coughed, he didn't expect that there were such strange people in this place, not just people who were officials.

It's just that where are Cheng Yuan and Zhu Gaochi to help the disaster, and where are the officers and soldiers who were assisted by the imperial court, and they don't even see half a figure here.

Such an official must meet him, and when the time comes, he will go back and report to His Majesty, and a talent like Daming should not be buried here.

Yang Shiqi said: "Everyone get on the horse, first go to other places in Huazhou to find Chengguo Gong and Zhen Guogong." ”

At this moment, Song Jing walked over and saw that it was the official uniform of the imperial court, and immediately said: "Everyone, are you officials who are lost in disaster relief, come and rest with us, there is hot soup and vegetable dumplings in it." ”

Vegetable dumplings? There are also vegetable dumplings to eat! Everyone was not only surprised.

"Don't be hungry, everyone is pathetic, please come in." Song Jing directly invited Yang Shiqi and them into the wooden house.

The soup is rabbit meat and mushroom soup, and the vegetable dumplings also exude the fragrance of wormwood.

Yang Shiqi was surprised that they really had vegetable dumplings and broth to drink, and he felt that something was pricked in his heart.

They were sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief, but is it disaster relief now? Instead, they themselves have become the targets of the disaster.

Yang Shiqi was unwilling, he was a cabinet scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and the scholar understood, so he let himself eat vegetable dumplings and rabbit broth.

Soon after.

Yang Shiqi only felt that the soup was really fragrant.

A pot of rabbit broth was divided by the soldiers.

But thousands of people, how can these be enough.

Song Jing said: "Don't worry, my lords, seeing that you are also from the imperial court, I will go and tell our master to re-cook the soup." ”

Yang Shiqi took a sip of soup from the bowl and said, "Who is your master?" ”

"My master, he is the Duke of Daming Town."

"What?"

Yang Shiqi's soup bowl trembled, and he only felt that he had heard the most surprising and incredible words.

Zhen Guogong?

Cheng Yuan is here, which means that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here.

Yang Shiqi said excitedly: "Hurry up and take this official to meet them." ”

Song Jing nodded, although he was in a small city, he was also an official's official robe, and he recognized the complement on Yang Shiqi's official uniform, so he took it directly to Cheng Yuan and them.

Zhu Gaochi was gnawing on the rabbit's meat leg when he heard a sound outside and walked out.

"Bachelor Yang?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince." Yang Shiqi was originally thinking about how to comfort Zhu Gaochi on the road. At this moment, when I saw Zhu Gaochi gnawing on a rabbit leg, I felt that everything was meaningless.

Because they don't need to be comforted.

At this moment, it was Yang Shiqi's turn to be surprised.
