Taizhou City.

On the official road from south to north.

Zhou Qi drove the carriage and walked slowly.

And at this moment, one of his faces is basically unreadable.

The eyes are as black as a panda, and there is only a slit left in one eye.

In addition, the tip of his nose was stained with some blood that he had not had time to wipe off.

It was as miserable as it was.

Li Qiuling was sitting beside him at the moment, and when he saw his face, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

But thinking of the reason why this thing was beaten, she was embarrassed to laugh.

And seeing her smiling and her face flushed, Zhou Qi was angry in his heart.

In the final analysis, this matter has nothing to do with him Zhou Qi.

Getting into the car was forced by Li Qiuling.

was finally discovered, and it was Li Qiuling who didn't pay attention to it and fell asleep in the car, so Li Anmin heard it.

And this belongs to him, and Ding Datian is a person who knows and does not report.

Even if he took the initiative to confess, he shouldn't have been beaten so hard.

But the bad thing is that this little girl told Li Anmin that he tricked her.

And so it goes.

Li Anmin directly vented all the anger in his stomach on him.

That beat him up.

If it weren't for his strong bones, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to get out of the carriage alive today.

But the person in front of him was so good that he was still smiling......

But because of the identity of the other party, Zhou Qi didn't dare to say anything too ugly.

He could only grit his teeth and secretly reminded: "Her Royal Highness the princess can laugh if you want, the old slave doesn't mind." ”

I don't mind these words, I was bitten very hard by him.

He was clearly reminding Li Qiuling who he was beating for.

I don't know if Li Qiuling didn't hear it, or pretended not to hear it.

Zhou Qi said this.

Li Qiuling laughed out loud.

At first, he covered his mouth and chuckled, and then he laughed on his back without any image.

"You, your face, is exactly the same as the black and white bear that paid tribute to my father last time in Shudi."

"It's ugly!"

Heard Li Qiuling's words.

Zhou Qi's face suddenly became the background color of the pot.

This little girl, can she still be too much?

Just when Zhou Qi was thinking about whether to talk to Li Anmin again.

Li Anmin suddenly pushed open the small door and walked out of the carriage.

"Didn't you say that it was only thirty miles away from Taizhou?"

"Why have you been walking for so long, and you still can't even see a figure?"

Li Anmin stood on the carriage and looked around with a little doubt in his eyes.

The Huai River flooded.

Taizhou is also one of the affected areas.

It stands to reason.

After the disaster began.

There should be a lot of displaced people gathered here.

Even if the floods have been stopped now, according to the behavior of the people in the face of disasters throughout the ages.

They are expected to stay here for a long time, until the floods have completely receded and they are able to cultivate the farms, and then the people will leave.

But now they are all about to enter the city.

Why can't you even see the shadow of a homeless person?

Could it be that all those homeless people are starving to death?

With that in mind.

Li Anmin's eyes froze: "Hurry up, within an hour, I will enter the city!" ”

"Your Majesty, this ......"

"It's definitely not going to happen in an hour."

Zhou Qi said bitterly: "Now there are at least a dozen miles away from Taizhou." ”

"If it's too fast, it's one thing whether the horse can withstand it."

"Our carriage and Your Majesty, your body can't bear it, that kind of bump."

"If you want to speed up, you will speed up."

Li Anmin glared at him, and said with an unkind expression: "Where is so much nonsense?" ”

This time.

Zhou Qi didn't dare to speak, raised his whip and whipped it on the horse's back, speeding up.

It was about late evening.

The carriage finally arrived at the foot of Taizhou City.

But here, there is still not a single shadow of a homeless person.

What's more, there are not even a few people.

Only a few guards of the city gathered at the gate, standing guard with Hatche.

Look at this face.

Zhou Qi also realized that something was wrong: "Your Majesty, this, this is not right......"

"Taizhou is the eastern state capital of Shannan Province, and there are at least tens of thousands of people living here."

"This, why can't you even see a single figure?"

"You ask me, I ask who is going?"

Li Anmin jumped out of the carriage and came to the front of several guards guarding the city.

"A few officials!"

Li Anmin arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask if this place is Taizhou City?" ”

A city guard glanced at him and said angrily: "What is written on the city gate, won't you see it yourself?" ”

The two words of Taizhou can be unloaded above the city gate.

But he still has to come over and ask himself, is there something wrong with this impure brain?

Li Anmin looked up, and his face was also embarrassed.

I knew I was just asking a nonsense.

He hurriedly changed his tone and said, "I have heard that Taizhou City is extremely prosperous and lively, why is it so deserted now." ”

"It's hard to ......"

Li Anmin paused, and then said, "Could it be that Chengdu fled because of the flood?" ”

The soldier guarding the city frowned.

Looking like that, it seems like you're going to curse in the next second.

But at this time, an older Wu Chang stood up and stopped him.

Meanwhile.

Wu Chang looked at Li Anmin and said, "You just came from out of town?" ”

"Yes!"

Li Anmin nodded.

"Then it's normal that you don't know."

Wu Chang said unhurriedly: "In addition to a few heavy rains in Taizhou, we have not encountered floods from beginning to end, so the people in our city do not need to flee. ”

"Huh?"

Li Anmin was even more puzzled when he heard this.

If there is no need to flee, why is there not even a single figure?

And seeing Li Anmin's expression, Wu Chang also guessed his thoughts.

"You can't see people."

"It's because we're under construction in Taizhou."

Wu Chang said: "Except for some old and weak women and children in the city, the rest have gone to Shilibaozi in the west to do things. ”

He's talking.

A group of men covered in mud came out of the city.

One of the leaders, a bearded man, stood still at the gate of the city, glanced at the passing crowd, and shouted: "Master Wu can say, if we can't finish it tomorrow, we will deduct the three of us and give Lao Tzu some profits." ”

The voice fell.

Everyone also began to trot, and the bearded man also quickly followed, and shouted at Li Anmin: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way!" ”

Li Anmin subconsciously made way for the other party.

Looking at the disappeared people, Li Anmin's eyes were suspicious.

Immediately, he turned his head and asked the chief of Wu: "They are also going to do things?" ”

"yes."

Wu Chang nodded and said, "They have been busy for almost seven or eight days, and they don't know when it will be completed." ”

"If it's okay, don't stay here."

"There are a lot of people coming and going, and it's inconvenient for you to have such a big carriage here."

Li Anmin lowered his head and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Thank you Jun Ye for solving your doubts, let's go." ”

After speaking.

Li Anmin climbed into the carriage.

Wait until you leave the city gates.

Zhou Qi said to Li Anmin in the carriage: "It seems that this Wu Huanian must have made some rules to oppress the people." ”

"When Your Majesty sees him in a while, you must be the master of the people and teach him a good lesson."

"Drive your car well, don't talk nonsense!"

Li Anmin replied angrily, but there was a cold light in his eyes.

Obviously, he thinks so too.

And Li Anmin also secretly made a decision in his heart.

If this thing really dares to oppress the people through its own rights.

Now and now, no matter what, we can't let him go......
