Chapter 87: Yongzhou
"The disaster is really serious, the people are hungry now, and some are even hungry to eat yellow mud, and they blame the king for being useless.
Now that the treasury is empty, if it continues like this, the people of Zhao do not know how many people will lose their lives. Yu can only ask a few immortals to save the people from fire and water. The Emperor spoke earnestly and with sadness.
Xue Qing looked at the old emperor, his face was slightly wrinkled, his hair was gray, and his eyes were a little black and blue, it seemed that the rumors were good, this was indeed a good emperor who cared about the world.
"Your Majesty's concern for your subjects is known to us, and we are here today for this matter.
If it is a natural disaster, forgive us for being powerless, if it is a man-made disaster, we will not be able to do it, and there will be a sect. Your Majesty, please relax!" Xue Qing said softly.
If it was a natural disaster, it was not something that their monks could solve.
Because under the checks and balances of the Heavenly Dao, there are some things that monks cannot interfere in, just as monks cannot kill mortals at will.
If this matter is done by demons, even if his strength is not enough, isn't there still a sect?
"This king is here to thank the fairy for the great grace of the people of Zhao Kingdom!"
Hearing Xue Qing's sincere words, Emperor Zhao immediately got up and saluted Xue Qing. The two princes followed closely behind, and so did they.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to do so. Seeing this, Xue Qing held up Emperor Zhao and the two princes who were about to salute.
Although the mortal emperor is a mortal, he is protected by the way of heaven. Especially the emperor in front of him, who is full of dragon energy, if he gives himself a big gift, Xue Qing is afraid that he will not be able to stand it.
"The fairy is righteous, and Yu keeps it in mind. If the immortals need manpower, I will listen to the immortals. ”
Emperor Zhao introduced his two sons to Xue Qing so that Xue Qing and them could better understand the truth.
"Good" to do things in Zhao, with the help of two princes, it will get twice the result with half the effort, so Xueqing agreed.
Emperor Zhao left the two princes in the National Teacher's Mansion and left. The state is busy, and he has to go back to deal with it.
After Emperor Zhao left, Xueqing and the others asked about the specific facts of the disaster, discussed the specific details, and prepared to go to the hard-hit area early tomorrow morning......
Before dawn the next day, the two princes were already waiting outside the National Teacher's Mansion. The national teacher welcomed them into the mansion, and Xue Qing and the others had arrived.
"Let's go!" Xue Qing, who was wearing a Wei hat, gave an order, and everyone set off.
Xue Qing led the two princes with a cloud shuttle, and Lu Yuan and the others flew paper cranes by car to the disaster area.
In order not to disturb the people, they flew in hiding for half a day before arriving outside the city of Yongzhou in Zhao State, and found a no-man's land to place the magic weapon.
The two princes felt extremely shocked in their hearts and felt that they had opened their eyes.
At the same time, I felt a pity in my heart, but it was a pity that I didn't have a spiritual root and couldn't learn this ability to fly to the sky.
It usually takes them five or six days to get from the capital to Yongzhou quickly, but today it only took half a day to take the flying spirit weapon of the immortals.
And he didn't sit in the flying spirit weapon for half a point, so that he had a kind of "pride and ambition to give birth to Lingyun".
They didn't know that this was the first time that Xue Qing was afraid that they would be unwell on the aircraft.
In order to take care of them, the speed of the shuttle was slowed down a lot. If Xue Qing accelerates with all his might, it will arrive at the ...... faster
Xue Qing and his party came to the city gate, and after the two princes showed their identity cards, everyone entered the city.
As soon as he entered the city, the Yongzhou prefect, who was wearing a four-grade official robe and was thin, led a group of officials of all sizes to greet him.
"Zeng Shuyu, the prefect of Yongzhou, visited His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and met the National Teacher. ”
The prefect of Yongzhou was very frightened when he saw the prince and his pedestrians coming to Yongzhou, thinking that it was because of the drought. I wonder if I will blame myself......
"Excuse me, I'll talk about it later. Prince Zhao Zhenghe came forward and said.
Seeing that the two princes seemed to be in a good mood, the prefect Zeng Shuyu should not have come to ask for guilt, so he touched the cold sweat on his forehead and put his mind at ease.
"Your Highness, do you want to move the palace to the inner hall?" Because he did not receive a notice in advance, the prefect asked the prince without preparing the palace.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to go to the inner hall of the palace first?" the prince turned to Xue Qing and Lu Yuan and asked respectfully.
"Let's go find out some information first!" everyone asked Xue Qing, and Xue Qing had no choice but to answer.
"What? It's the Shangxian who came with the two princes?" The prefect was overjoyed, the Shangxian in the upper realm came, can the drought get better......
So they came to the Yongzhou Mansion. With some information provided by local officials, the decision was made to find out what was wrong with the drought.
After discussing everyone's calculations, it was decided that the four of Xueqing would look at it separately.
Xue Qing is now wearing a hat and walking alone on the official road.
It was noon, the sun was scorching, and the temperature was abnormal, about 50 degrees.
The ground was dry and cracked like a snake, and the air was unusually dry and dusty.
Refugees sat on the side of the road with broken bowls, all wearing very little clothing because of the dry heat.
The man's upper body is bare***, and he wears gauze to cover his private parts. Most of the little boys were undressed, and only the girls wore some burlap to cover their bodies.
Their skin was tanned, and their bodies were so thin that they could see their ribs.
Some were barefoot, some were wearing straw sandals, and their bare legs were as thin as two bamboo poles.
Their lips were dry and cracked, their mouths were open, and their eyes were limp open, and their eyes were full of despair.
It is worth mentioning that there is a girl of five or six years old who has a straw stuck in her head and is drowsy with hunger.
Xue Qing knew that the straw on her head was a sign of selling herself, and if she was lucky, she would be bought into a big family to be a maid.
If you are unlucky, you may be sold into the Qinglou for a miserable life.
Looking at the little girl in front of her, Xue Qing felt pity and evoked memories of her time in Qilian Mountain.
Eight years ago, I was as big as a little girl, and at that time, my mother was seriously ill, and I was too young to be able to do so, so I often ate the last meal without the next meal.
Later, my mother went, leaving her little self alone. Fortunately, I have a spiritual root, and the opportunity is good. Otherwise, I might have been like this little girl, right?
After thinking back, Xue Qing came to the little girl, performed an isolation technique, and dropped a drop of spiritual spring water in the girl's mouth. "Why are you selling yourself?"
The little girl thought she was going to starve to death, and as she was drowsy, a drop of nectar fell into her mouth.
She slowly opened her eyes, and vaguely saw a beautiful fairy in front of her eyes. She asked herself: Am I dead? Am I in heaven?
A gentle voice sounded in her ears, and she came back to her senses, and her body seemed to have strength.
The little hand rubbed his eyes, made sure that he was still alive, and asked in that crisp childish voice, "Sister Fairy, did you save me?"
Seeing her wake up, Xue Qing asked again, "Why did you sell yourself?"
