Chapter 108: Disaster from the Heavens
As Qingrong expected, the situation is not the worst now.
Ashina Hezhi waved his troops straight down, less than a few hundred miles away from the two states of Xiting, and the governors of the two states were vigilant and ready for battle... And the envoy somehow saw that it was already May, but he was not seen for a long time.
Naturally, the news of the Turks' waving troops could not be concealed for too long, and after the news leaked, the original impetuous atmosphere reached its peak at this moment, and the uneasiness and fear of the war all erupted with the resentment that had been squeezed for a long time. In the crowd, I don't know who started this first... Then the situation was out of control.
……
No matter how good this room is, it can't be isolated from the unbearable scolding outside, not to mention that it's not a person... The noisy noise seemed to indicate that the next moment, the angry people outside rushed straight in...
From the beginning when someone was making trouble at the door to the present, Qingrong showed unusual calm, and she sat in the inner room without saying a word. When Xue Shao came back that day, he also asked her if there was anything going on recently, and she said no. Because she knew that now they were unpopular... Then if there is a slight difference in this joint, it will end up with a reputation of being a powerful power and oppressing the people, and the situation outside is already not good, if the people in Xizhou City kill each other, this enemy... Can it still be royal?
The voices outside are getting louder and louder, Yun Niang and them are also silent, but their faces are getting more and more ugly, although a few guards can stop for a while, but Qingrong ordered that if it is not necessary, do not hurt people, they probably can't stop it for too long.
Qingrong silently calculated in his heart, if it was correct, there should be no mistakes...
She suddenly got up and was about to go outside.
Yun Niang stopped her and said anxiously: "Lady, where are you going?" ”
Qingrong said calmly: "I'll go outside and have a look." ”
Song Yue glanced out, and could still hear the voices of entanglement, and panicked, "I can't help it, lady, those people outside are so excited, what if you accidentally hurt your lady on impulse?" The lady is still in this house! ”
The general is not in Xizhou City at this time, what if something happens?
It's all to blame for the ambassador who came to preach and appease, greedy for life and afraid of death! Approaching Xizhou, he was suddenly afraid, for fear of losing his life, he didn't dare to come, but because the emperor's order was in his body, he didn't dare to live up to it, so he had to come hard. That's it, and I have to deliberately let the general go to meet ... The general can't let the generals under his command go for the general, the general must go in person! The general didn't want to delay such a major event as the imperial court's announcement of appeasement, so he had to go there himself.
"If I don't show up, will they be able to leave?"
Yun Niang was afraid that Qingrong would be impulsive, so she stopped people and persuaded: "Those guards outside are not eating dry food, so they won't let them break in so easily." Don't pay attention to them, when they get tired, they will naturally disperse, don't worry, lady! ”
To put it mildly, there is everyone in that group, and how can everyone talk about it? Looking at the current posture, they are afraid that they will not listen to what they say!
That being said, it's been more than an hour since people came here to scold me, to say the least... Qingrong was silent and said, "I know what you're worried about, but I'm not trying to reason with them..."
Before she finished speaking, Ah Zhen ran in from outside in a hurry, raised the door curtain, and gasped and replied: "Lady, lady, the people from the Thousand Buddha Temple are here!" The Void Mage is here, too! ”
What? Qingrong was surprised for a moment and asked, "Are they at the door?" ”
Ah Zhen nodded like pounding garlic, as if she had seen a savior, and hurriedly said, "At the door!" A few monks have just arrived! Persuade the troublemakers to go back and don't make trouble here! ”
"That's... Are people out there willing to go? ”
Ah Zhen looked behind the door for a long time, and said truthfully: "No... They didn't seem to listen, and they said that they would call the lady out... But don't worry, no matter how arrogant those people are, they don't dare to be unreasonable to the mage, and now that the mage is here in person, what else can they say! ”
Ah Zhen didn't want Qingrong to be angry when she heard it, those people were simply lawless and rampant! actually said that he wanted the lady to apologize to them, and to drive the lady away and let them leave Xizhou! said that Ah Lang is a corrupt official, who only knows how to oppress the people and seek personal gain... There are still people who say that the lady and Ah Lang are bad people, that is, after Ah Lang and the lady came, there was a drought and war... actually cursed the lady and Ah Lang not to die well!
As soon as Ah Zhen heard this, she was so angry that she vomited blood, and she couldn't wait to rush up and fight with them.
Or Ah Qian came out and grabbed her tightly, refusing to let her go out to make trouble, "Don't go!" What if you go, can you beat them? If you have this kung fu, you might as well guard the lady! ”
Ah Zhen was willing to give up, she gritted her teeth and scolded: "These people simply don't know what to do!" All of them have very vicious mouths! "I don't know who is scrupulously fulfilling his duties, guarding the city pass every day, and guarding against it, and who is worried about the affairs of the army and the people? It turned out to be like this! What a pack of white-eyed wolves!
After a while, Ah Qian saw a familiar figure, pulled Ah Zhen and asked, "Eh, eh, Ah Zhen, who do you think is that?" Is it the Hu man who often comes to deliver things these days? ”
Ah Zhen immediately looked over, it was really him! What is he doing here?
She was worried, who knew that Yasugoro actually tried to persuade those people to leave, but those people pushed him away, pointed at him and scolded: "You turned your elbow out? Not from the Western State anymore? If you get some benefits, you're going to be someone's dog, right? Don't be nosy, or be careful to teach you a lesson! ”
Ah Zhen looked anxious, stomped her feet and said anxiously: "This fool doesn't know how to hide, do you stand there and beat people?" ”
But Kanggoro wasn't there for long, and he was dragged away by the cousin of the An family, and he didn't know where he went... Seeing that he was taken away, Ah Zhen couldn't say that he was disappointed or relaxed for a while, but he just let out a long breath... It's okay to go.
Ah Qian poked her with her elbow and soothed, "Are you relieved?" ”
Ah Zhen didn't know what she said, so she only responded a few words.
The two have been guarding outside to listen to the movement, I don't know how long it took, the people from the government came, it was the high army with the government soldiers to prepare to drive people away, who knew that those people didn't buy it at all, and refused to leave, and they also made a lot of nonsense, what "embarrassed", "officials protect each other"... After a few disputes, the two sides actually started to move!
Although those flat-headed people also have strong men, where are the opponents of the government soldiers? But the bad thing is that Gao is not allowed to join the army, he thought that he would bring a few government soldiers over, and he would be able to shake people away with a strict word, but he didn't expect those people to be afraid at all! The manpower is invincible, and he naturally loses the upper hand!
This battle was too big, and the Thousand Buddha Temple naturally heard the movement, and then someone came.
Yun Niang also said: "Lady, don't worry, although those people are very crazy, they don't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, and they don't dare to be too unreasonable to the mage, maybe they will be persuaded away after a while." ”
Qingrong nodded, but decided to go over and have a look. "Don't worry, I'll only listen behind the door to see what the situation is, and I won't show up easily."
After saying that, he ignored their dissuasion, raised the curtain and went to the front yard.
"Lady..."
Yun Niang and Song Yue also followed one after another in desperation, and they couldn't let the lady go alone!
……
I haven't seen it for a long time, but Qingrong still recognized the empty voice, and she heard him patiently say to everyone: "Everyone, don't be impatient, please listen to me, the host personally admitted that the general and Changshi have never forced the Thousand Buddha Temple to take incense money, this is a non-existent thing, and the host is a voluntary donation on behalf of the temple!" I am not alone in this matter, and all of you can testify to it. ”
"Amitabha, that's true."
Someone said: "So what? How could such ominous people stay in Xizhou and plague the people? ”
He explained: "The so-called ominous is just your speculation, how can you make such hasty assumptions and tarnish people's reputations?
Someone snorted coldly: "Don't think we don't know, the mage has a relationship with this general's mansion, so he naturally helps them speak!" ”
Immediately, someone responded, "Yes! The mage has the heart to protect it, so there is no need to say more! ”
"Yes! God has eyes, and it is because he sees treachery and evil that he sends down heavenly punishment, refuses to rain, and warns us with visions! We will never be deceived by you again! ”
For a while, the crowd, which had just calmed down, began to be restless again.
"If it rains from the sky, can you confirm that what you say is a rumor?"
Qingrong opened the door and appeared in front of everyone, his face was calm, and his tone was flat but had a terrifying power. She had no fear, no fear, and no weakness of heart that everyone thought.
And the empty silence glanced at her, and stood in front of her very instinctively, but didn't say anything, although it was goodbye to the old man, but this kind of scene was really not the time to say hello.
"What do you mean?"
Someone recognized Qingrong and pointed at her and said, "She is the Lu family!" At this time, do you still want to bewitch the public! ”
They were waiting here, and when someone saw that Qingrong was finally willing to come out, they threw a stone at her, and Qingrong didn't have time to dodge, and when she thought she would be hit, she turned sideways to block it for her...
Qingrong was slightly stunned, she looked sideways, and saw that the empty silence nodded to her slightly, so she didn't make a sound again.
Qingrong didn't have time to think about it, glanced in the direction where the stone was thrown, and then said to the people in front of him who surrounded the gate of their house: "Everyone, drought and no rain, in fact, there is another cause and effect. ”
The man who questioned loudly just now said, "Hmph, is it possible that what you say is nothing?" So far, do you still want to quibble? ”
"Heaven and man correspond, if a person who lacks virtue will not be blessed by God, heaven will punish him. I don't want to see this situation trapped the people of Xizhou, so I am willing to pray for rain for the people of Xizhou to solve this disaster! ”
It was not that no one was shaken by the present, but there were also people who were very disdainful and sneered, "It's up to you? ”
The spring drought has been dry until now, and there are no monks praying for rain in Xizhou City, but not a drop of rain has been seen? What can this young woman in front of her do, and dare to say that she wants to pray for rain, what a big breath!
Qingrong was not annoyed, but smiled slightly, and his tone was firm, "Today's mage is a witness, I hereby promise to pray for rain for Xizhou, if nothing happens, I will leave Xizhou at a fixed speed, and never step into half a step again!" ”
