Zhao Shuo followed his gesture and looked, only to see a carriage parked across the street, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside, vaguely revealing two slender fingers.

The wall lamps of the carriage were dim, and he couldn't see the scene behind the curtains, but he could clearly feel two bright lights like stars shooting out of it, and the eyes that pierced the cold pool couldn't help but ripple a little.

Xiting had been sitting in the carriage since an hour ago, waiting for news of safety, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, so he couldn't help but lift the curtain and look at the opposite side.

As soon as Fang opened it, she met Zhao Shuo's gaze, and that gaze shot straight at her like a sharp blade, her heart seemed to be suddenly startled, and she hurriedly lowered the curtain.

The hand subconsciously pinched the corner of his clothes, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

I had only a one-sided relationship with him, and I never really talked to him.

If you want to talk about it, it's just the last time she was in court, because she was dissatisfied with the way he dealt with Song Zhiyu, the time she choked him in front of everyone, she was angry at the time, and she didn't feel anything when she said it, but after calming down, she still pinched a cold sweat for her recklessness, fortunately, he didn't blame him, otherwise his little head would have moved long ago.

Thinking of this, Xiting's heart was even colder, I was afraid that this person would not accept her invitation.

Suddenly, a cool breeze poured into his cheeks.

Before she could react, another dark shadow pressed down and disappeared in a flash.

Xiting looked at the man sitting opposite him in a daze, and was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

Zhao Shuo saw that she was distracted, and couldn't help but put the back of his hand to his lips and coughed lightly.

Xi Ting came back to his senses and hurriedly bent down to salute: "See Your Highness." ”

"This king is just looking at Lord Qian's face."

A faint voice came, Xiting raised his head suddenly, and saw Zhao Shuo leaning against the wall of the car with his eyes closed, his thin lips slightly opened, and he said lightly: "I hope you don't disappoint this king." ”

His voice was soft, but it still felt a chill in the narrow space.

The light in the carriage was dim, but she could still faintly see his face by the light that came through the cracks in the curtains.

His facial features are hard and slender, but he has the unique strength of a martial arts practitioner, and with the straight and towering nose bridge, his whole body exudes an unattainable aura.

Xiting was a little obsessed for a while, and subconsciously murmured, "No." ”

The sound as thin as mosquito silk entered his ears, and Zhao Shuoxuan's eyebrows wrinkled without a trace, and disappeared in a flash.

A moment later.

The carriage came to a dilapidated alley, and Red Leaves got Xiting and Zhao Shuo out of the car.

Xiting stepped out of the carriage, just as a cool breeze blew, and an unpleasant sour smell suddenly poured into her nose, causing her to fan her nose.

She and Zhao Shuo walked side by side into the alley, only to see that it was dark and damp, with bursts of moaning one after another, and the eaves on both sides of the alley were full of people in tattered clothes, the old man and the child leaned on each other, skinny, like a corpse, only the occasional moans and coughs could prove that they were still alive.

Xiting felt as if his chest had been torn apart, and the stinging pain was unbearable.

She glanced sideways at Zhao Shuo, and saw that he was just standing on his side, his deep eyes shrunk slightly, and he looked at the tragic scene in front of her coldly, without saying a word.

Xiting was silent for a while, led Zhao Shuo to an old woman who was covering her mouth and coughing, and asked softly: "Old mama, you are infected by the disaster, can the imperial court issue epidemic prevention medicinal materials?" ”

The old woman was in unbearable physical pain, and no matter who was standing in front of her, she covered her mouth and coughed a few times in succession.

Then he gasped slightly, as if muttering to himself: "How can there be any medicinal materials, after this flood, it would be good to have a mouthful of rice soup to drink." ”

"But when I was in front of the government today, I saw everyone receiving rice, how could there be no rice soup?"

Hearing this, the old woman suddenly raised her head, and when she saw Xiting, she subconsciously shrank back, pulling away the distance between them, and her cloudy and empty eyes emitted a vigilant light.

Xiting hurriedly stepped forward to reassure: "Old mama, don't be afraid, we just happened to be passing by." ”

The old woman hesitated for a while, looked up and down at the two people standing in front of her, and after being silent for a while, she sighed slightly and said, "Little lady, you don't know anything. Where is there any relief food, but they see someone coming down from above, take out some rice and go out for a walk, and when these big men are gone, we can only drink some sour porridge water. ”

After the words fell, Xiting looked up at Zhao Shuo, signaling that what the old woman said was the truth.

Zhao Shuo's hand behind him was slightly clenched into a fist, his eyes were half-squinted, and he didn't say a word, and after a long time, he turned around and left the alley.

Xiting didn't expect him to leave suddenly, hurriedly caught up with him, and shouted to him when he walked to the alley: "Your Highness! ”

Zhao Shuo's footsteps faltered.

Xi Ting sorted out his thoughts, walked slowly to his side, looked back at the coughing sound coming from behind him, and said without hurry:

"As everyone knows, there are five kinds of pests in the world, namely, floods, droughts, wind, fog, hail and frost, plagues and insect pests, but floods are the first of the five evils, and they occur most frequently and pose the greatest threat to life and property.

Others say that calamity is a curse of heaven, a punishment from heaven for the Son of Heaven, and it is a disaster that befalls the world. ”

As she spoke, she raised her eyes to look at Zhao Shuo's side face, and continued: "But since it is God's curse, why are these innocent people who bear the sin in the end?

They just want to guard their own one-third of an acre of land and live safely. But a great flood washed everything away, what is their sin? And how innocent. ”

Zhao Shuo suddenly looked sideways at Xiting, and a hint of surprise flashed in his deep pupils.

After being silent for a long time, he closed his eyes and said coldly: "You go quickly, if you stay any longer, I'm afraid that Lord Qian's face won't be able to save you." ”

After the words fell, Zhao Shuo walked straight forward and disappeared into the night.

What do you mean? Can't save my father's face? Is someone going to kill himself?

But what does it mean that he just left? Ignore these victims? Do you let Lu Angui's group of people obey the yang and the yin?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but get anxious, shouted to Zhao Shuo, and blurted out: "These disaster victims will also be your people in the future, water can carry boats and capsize boats, do you hope that they will all turn against you in the future?" ”

Zhao Shuo stopped his steps for a moment, and his body stiffened.

After a moment of silence, he turned around abruptly and came to Xiting, his eyes changed from the previous wavelessness, revealing the chill of the forest, and the yin owl made people numb all over.

Xi Ting instinctively took a step back.

Zhao Shuo took a step forward instead.

The dangerous aura pressed over, forcing her to have nowhere to escape, and an inexplicable chill rushed from her back to the top of her head, startling her face and turning pale.
