Mu Jingzhao was noncommittal, he followed Shen Tong out two steps, and his gaze slowly fell on the surrounding homeless people who were controlled by the guards.

"These people, what are you going to do with them?" Mu Jingzhao asked in a deep voice.

Shen Tong's gaze slowly swept over the faces of the group present, and when he turned to Mu Jingzhao, he changed to the same smile as usual.

"The ministers will find a way to settle it."

Rao is Mu Jingzhao didn't believe Shen Tong's words and couldn't continue, he nodded slightly, "If you don't have enough people, you can open your mouth to me." ”

"Yes." Shen Tong gestured to the guards beside the homeless people, and the guards immediately put down the people under their control and turned around towards Shen Tong.

"Childe, please."

Mu Jingzhao helped Jiang Ning into the carriage, while he went to the convoy alone to find Lin Zheng.

Told him to stay and watch Shen carefully to ensure the safety of the displaced people.

His behavior was grandiose, without the slightest intention of concealment, it seemed to be instructing Lin Zheng, but in fact he was admonishing Shen Tong.

After explaining everything, Mu Jingzhao got into the carriage again, and the carriage to which Shen Tong belonged also turned around and headed in the direction of Qingshui County.

When they returned to the car, Jiang Ning and Mu Jingzhao were extremely silent, the wheels turned and made a creaking sound, Jiang Ning lifted the curtain, and outside the car, those homeless people kept retreating until they disappeared.

Fang had just passed by a forest on the edge of the city, and a foul smell of decay greeted him, Jiang Ning was very familiar with this smell, it was the smell of rotten meat.

In the past, she lived in a dilapidated temple, and she was accompanied by rats and wild birds day and night, and the temple was dilapidated and barren, not to mention food, and even some simple tables, chairs, and pillars were corroded to the point that it was difficult to shelter from the wind and rain.

The rats couldn't find food, so they gnawed at the tables, chairs and benches in the temple night and night.

Occasionally, a few wild cats on the mountain smelled the smell of rats in the temple and sneaked into the temple to catch rats for fun.

The wild cats in the mountains were naturally much more robust and nimble than the domestic cats, and it was easy for them to catch mice, and when they caught the mice too much, and their bellies were full, the naughty wild cats began to catch the mice for fun.

He only gnawed and tortured the rat alive and threw it aside, and asked no more.

Over time, the rat carcasses hidden in the temple decayed, and the whole temple would be filled with a disgusting stench.

Jiang Ning would be patient to find the carcasses of the mice and throw them away at first, however, if she lost a batch, those wild cats would create a new batch.

Over time, she simply gave up and let it go in that harsh environment, and after a long time, she got used to the strange smell.

However, the smell of the rotting rat carcass was different from what she was smelling at the moment.

In the past, the smell of rats she smelled was only a faint one, and if there was nothing, if she didn't smell it carefully, she wouldn't be able to smell it.

And today, the stench of decay seems to merge with the oncoming air, and every moment of breathing carries that rich smell.

Jiang Ning subconsciously felt sick to his stomach, and the hand that was originally lifting the curtain trembled suddenly, and he leaned over and retched.

Mu Jingzhao subconsciously reached out to help her, Jiang Ning couldn't take too much care of it, held Mu Jingzhao's arm and retched for a long time, and finally sat up straight slowly with his chest.

However, the feeling of dizziness caused by the feeling of nausea lingered in her mind for a long time.

Fortunately, she didn't eat, otherwise if she spit out something, it is estimated that Mu Jingzhao would make her lose money again.

Jiang Ning stroked his chest and calmed himself down, while thinking dizzily.

"Would you like some water?"

Without waiting for her to answer, Mu Jingzhao had already unscrewed the kettle and brought it to her lips.

Jiang Ning stretched out his hand to take it, and without hesitation, he raised his head and poured a few big mouthfuls, only then did he feel that the dizziness in his mind had eased slightly.

"Thank you." She returned the kettle in her hand to Mu Jingzhao, but her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of Mu Jingzhao's calm expression, Jiang Ning was stunned, but then she also understood.

Mu Jingzhao was a person who had fought with the army before, so he was naturally used to the smell of this kind of corpse corruption.

At this time, it is the beginning of summer, and it is only a matter of a few days for a person to go from death to decay to turning into a handful of white bones, but fortunately the weather is not too hot now, and if it is the height of summer, once the plague spreads, it will be even more troublesome.

The two of them knew the source of the smell of corpses, and they were quite dedicated and did not talk, nor did they try to lift the curtain to look at the scenery outside the window.

They were silent with each other, quietly accepting this baptism from Qingshui County.

The car didn't know how long it had been going, Jiang Ning couldn't even smell the stench, it was getting late, a few crows flew by with a wail, and the coachman in front of him shouted softly, "Phew-" The car slowly stopped.

Li Zinian opened the curtain and said to Jiang Ning and Mu Jingzhao in the car, "Son, madam, we have arrived." ”

Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning nodded when they heard this, and got out of the car in turn.

Shen Tong led Mu Jingzhao and his party forward, and everyone who accompanied him got out of the car to follow, but Liu Jinfu had no trace, Mu Jingzhao seemed to have been accustomed to it and did not pursue it, while Jiang Ning was still in the shock brought to her by the scene along the way, and did not find that Liu Jinfu and his party were missing at this moment.

Jiang Ning got off the car and saw a white-walled and blue-tiled residence, the residence covers an extremely wide area, and the queen's palace is afraid that it is more than that, the rockery pavilion in the courtyard, the lush forest and bamboo have everything, elegant and pure, but the layout does not have the slightest rule at all, only blindly piled up.

In this way, not only did not see the elegant taste of the owner of the house, but it was quite a bit of vassal elegance.

Jiang Ning secretly sighed, the green mountains and green waters here really didn't look like the same world as what he saw outside the city just now.

She didn't understand why Shen Tong chose such a luxurious room to receive them, in such a chaotic situation in the outside world, they probably couldn't sleep even in such a stable and comfortable courtyard.

Just when she was confused, Shen Tong spoke: "Originally, the old minister also felt that it was a bit unreasonable to arrange such a luxurious mansion for the emperor's ladies, but there was only such a place that could accommodate so many people, and only such a place was the safest. ”

Mu Jingzhao bowed slightly, and did not ask any more, expressing understanding.

Shen Tong continued to lead everyone forward, and while walking towards the lobby of the mansion, he said to everyone, "The minister has prepared a dinner, just wait for you to rest for a while before you can eat, as for the room, it will be freely allocated by you." ”

Shen Tong led everyone through the hall and came to the backyard, where there were many houses in the backyard, all of which were clean and elegantly arranged, but the rooms were all very close to each other. The people who were originally separated by layers of palace walls have become the most ordinary neighbors living here.

"Anyway, this house is definitely enough."

Shen Tong gestured to everyone to take care of themselves, and then found an excuse to leave.
