Li Chengluo lowered his head and smiled.

Su Yuqing instantly became a girl who understands in seconds, how can this Li Chengluo be old and not serious, looking cold and abstinent, how do you know that she is so sullen in her bones.

She glanced at Li Chengluo, didn't bother to argue with her, and began to talk about business.

"I've checked, there are probably more than 80,000 men who died innocently in Qiao Du this time."

At the mention of this, Li Chengluo had a sad look on his face, "It's eighty-six thousand three hundred and fifty-two." ”

Su Yuqing was shocked, even the official messenger didn't tell her such a detailed number, how did he come to the conclusion.

Not to mention that the corpses were not found, even if the officers and soldiers tried their best to find them, they might be missed.

In this case, it can only be reconciled with the missing person.

However, the missing person comes from the records of the reporting officer, if any of the parents of the family did not report to the official in time, or if the deceased was an orphan himself.

This figure of missing persons is also inherently inaccurate.

But the 80,000-word data that Li Chengluo said is not much different from what the official told him, presumably he is also through strict statistics.

"How did you arrive at such an exact number?"

Li Chengluo then handed her the household registration book, "It's not difficult, just investigate the permanent residents who don't have a household registration in Qiao." ”

That's right! She should have thought that this matter had something to do with Liheng.

Since the turbidity above Qiao Du began with the beginning of the conscription of Li Heng, the data obtained from the survey of displaced people without household registration is the most accurate.

She followed the booklet and saw the swallow's name.

Yanzi has no father or mother, and has been begging for a living in the Murmuring Pavilion since he was a child.

Maybe he also thought about being a man who stood up to the sky, but the restrictions of household registration made people like him forced to be locked in that cage.

Finally, there is no restriction on household registration in the military camp of Liheng.

This gave many men like Swallow a good opportunity to make a contribution, which made many people squeeze into it one after another.

Now, it seems, this is a trap in itself.

Su Yuqing thought of a brilliant idea, and slammed the table, "We can go to Yanzi's house and have a look, maybe we will find some clues." ”

Liheng's military camps were scattered all over the place, and they had no idea where the deceived men would be assigned.

As long as they know where the swallows are, they can go and investigate.

Then the neighbors of the swallows probably know best.

"That's a good idea, but ......"

"But what?"

Li Chengluo glanced at the ink inkstone on the table, "The ink is spilled, continue to grind the ink." ”

Su Yuqing realized that she was too excited just now, and when she slapped this palm, all the ink in it was shaken out.

She pouted, so she continued to pick up the ink and continue grinding.

Anyway, she's just doing chores.

Li Chengluo focused on the task at hand, and didn't even glance at the information on the table.

True, missing persons are only the tip of the iceberg.

If it is just a waste of time to look in this direction, the final data will definitely not be accurate, because there will be omissions.

Then the effort she put into moving around just now was not useless.

In fact, Li Chengluo had already arranged everything, and he didn't need her help at all.

So you called her here to sharpen the ink?

It's really a toss-up for people.

Su Yuqing was bored and looked at Li Chengluo's writing.

His words have a majestic atmosphere, every pen is extremely sharp, and they all say that the words are like their people, in fact, his real character is also like this.

It seems to be as warm as jade, but in fact, it is strong everywhere.

Looking at it, her drowsiness came up.

One hand grinds the ink, and the other holds the chin, trying to brace himself.

Su Yuqing kept nodding her head, like a chicken pecking rice.

Li Chengluo naturally saw it clearly, he was silent, and secretly leaned towards Su Yuqing's side.

In the next second, her arm couldn't hold up, and her chin fell right on Li Chengluo's shoulder.

Li Chengluo glanced at her and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily she didn't wake up.

Her thick eyelashes reflected a shadow in the candlelight, and her whole face was surprisingly delicate, as if she was a fairy coming out of a painting.

And the character is not as good as that.

Such a happy grudge, real and passionate.

He even began to wonder if Su Yuqing's arrival would be too unreal in his filthy days, and would all this be just a dream?

——

Early the next morning.

Before Su Yuqing woke up, she was picked up by Xiaojun.

Only then did she remember that she had made an appointment with Li Chengluo yesterday and was going to Yanzi's house today to look for clues.

Su Yuqing yawned and got into the carriage, and when she saw Li Chengluo's cold face, she was dozing and walked half away in an instant.

She remembered what Jun had told her.

She fell asleep directly in Li Chengluo's study last night, and that's it, but her sleeping posture was extremely dishonest, and she used Li Chengluo as a humanoid pillow.

In the end, Li Chengluo had no choice but to carry her back to the room to sleep.

Although she didn't have any impression at all, she still felt very embarrassed when she saw Li Chengluo today.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Uh." She smiled awkwardly, "It's okay." ”

"Don't fall asleep in the carriage for a while, or it will be the king who will be sacrificed."

“……”

Li Chengluo said it seriously, but on the other hand, she was a hooligan, how did she do it, she seemed to be some kind of imserious person.

Soon the carriage stopped.

Su Yuqing looked out the window, there is a fight between here and the urban village, who would have thought that the prosperous Qiaodu would have such a world.

Su Yuqing jumped out of the carriage and stepped into the loose dirt.

A pair of flashy cloth shoes were instantly submerged in the dirt.

Zhuang Lai reminded, "Be careful, the princess has to go inside where the swallow lives, and the carriage can't go, so you can only walk." ”

Su Yuqing nodded, and reluctantly rubbed the dirt off the cloth shoes.

But as soon as he took a step, the soles of his feet slipped and he almost fell.

After all, she was wearing cloth shoes, and the soles of her shoes had no friction, so she had no problem walking on the streets.

But there was uneven mud in front of him, and the shoe couldn't walk, and it kept slipping with every step.

Seeing that Li Chengluo had already walked away, she shouted, "Wait for me." ”

Li Chengluo ignored it, but Zhuang Lai ran over first.

"Is the princess okay, can she still go?"

Su Yuqing shook her head, "I'm afraid I can't, why don't you carry me away?" ”

Zhuang Lai was stunned, he was either unwilling to carry it, or he looked at the back of the prince, and was afraid that he would get into trouble again.

"Men and women don't kiss, the princess still takes off her shoes and is trying."

Not to mention the mud everywhere here, the large and small stones are grinding the feet very much, isn't it fatal to take off your shoes?

Why don't you fall and eat?

As she spoke, Su Yuqing continued to walk forward, but after a while, the soles of her feet slipped again, "Ah......"

At the moment of falling, he was helped by someone.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Chengluo glanced at her, "It's useless." ”

"And say, you all wear thick-soled shoes, and I am the only one who wears this kind of embroidered shoes, and we can change them if we have the ability!"

As she spoke, she lightened.

Li Chengluo picked her up, and then said coldly, "Shut up." ”

Su Yuqing decisively remained silent, and secretly made a grimace behind Li Chengluo's back.

Zhuang Lai saw it in his eyes and couldn't help laughing.

Li Chengluo turned around, "Do you want to be beaten again?" ”

"Subordinates know their mistakes."

said that in the military stick, Zhuang Lai still doesn't understand, why did he let the princess out of the house at that time?

It seems to have been manipulated by a force inexplicably.

He even thought about what kind of evil art the princess used to make the princess's training obedient.

But I also thought, how can the prince be a person who can be manipulated.

The older generation pays the most attention to fate, and perhaps the fate of the prince is Su Yuqing.

The three of them followed the villagers' instructions to the swallow's house, only to find it in ashes.

At first glance, he knew that it was Liheng's masterpiece, and it was obvious that he didn't want them to know anything.

There are many villagers coming and going here, and when Zhuang Lai saw a person, he stepped forward to ask the reason.

But when everyone heard the name of the swallow, it was as if they had seen something unlucky, and they ran faster than anyone else, and finally met an old woman who was willing to say a few words.

"Don't look for it, Yanzi went to the prince's military camp, and it is impossible to come back."

Su Yuqing heard the meaning inside, and asked again: "Grandma, you said that you can't come back, which means that anyone who goes to the prince's military camp can't come back, right?" ”

When the old grandmother heard this, she was so frightened that she hurriedly fled, "I don't know, I don't know anything." ”

Zhuang Lai asked a few people back and forth, but to no avail.

Li Chengluo's expression was calm, "Don't ask, the people here are controlled, you can't ask." ”

This is the slum of Qiaodu.

An invisible line of latitude and longitude separates the two planes.

The life of the people of Qiaodu is vivid, and everyone here has a sad face, everyone bows their heads, and there is no hope for life.

Li Chengluo is right, you can't ask questions.

Even if they know anything.

How can people who can't even guarantee their survival ask them to face power alone.

"Who!"

Li Chengluo roared, and Zhuang Lai rushed out like a fly.

Su Yuqing still saw the figure of the man in black in a blink of an eye.

"Are we being followed?"

Li Chengluo didn't say a word, he picked her up directly, and let them take off in the air with an arrow step.

Su Yuqing was not ready, her whole body suddenly became weightless, and she subconsciously hugged Li Chengluo's waist, "Ah...... Yes...... Slow down! ”

She has a fear of heights.

And this kind of vacancy without a safety rope made her even more scared.

At this time, Li Chengluo waved his hand and covered his sleeve over her eyes.

"Don't be afraid, believe in this king."

His voice is magnetic and heavy, giving people an invisible sense of security.

Su Yuqing nodded.

I couldn't see the height I was at, and I wasn't too scared psychologically, as if I felt like I was just lying on a swing in a person's arms.

His wide hands hugged her so tightly that she couldn't even breathe a little.

He protected her with all his might, but made her feel a little dependent, and hugged her tightly.

At this moment, the "little me" in her heart said in her ear: "Maybe it's good to stay like this." ”

Soon, they fled to the carriage.

The carriage was galloping.

Su Yuqing lifted the sleeves on her head and inhaled fresh air, not so much scared, but more nervous.

It was to see the nervousness of Li Chengluo.

Li Chengluo put the back of his hand into her face, "Why is your face so red and feverish?" ”
