Volume 1 Chapter 422 Prayer Under the Moon (II)

Or Diao Chan's response was also so charming, Ying'er didn't feel that her young lady was absent-minded, and the young maid who was sparse from the girl's bun was practicing, busy cleaning and wiping on one side, and chattered: "I heard that Yuzhou is not short of water at all, it is really blessed by God?"

"This strange thing is spread in the city, many people secretly ran away, and now Luoyang is becoming more and more dangerous, and several secret villages have been discovered, and this is the only one left. Ying'er's mind jumped, and she changed her direction: "Miss's father-in-law put Miss here, does it really matter?"

"Uh, Miss, when can we go?" I mean......" Ying'er blinked, finally hearing the abnormality of Miss's unresponsiveness, she consciously stopped, and looked back with a handful of old clothes that Miss usually used.

The candlelight reflected the girl, and the makeup became more and more charming, just like "The Book of Songs, Zhou Nan, Taoyao": "The peach is dying, scorching its glory, and the son is home, and it is suitable for his room." ”

'Young, the peach blossoms are budding to be released, gorgeous and young, the ancient Chinese style is a kind of beauty, and it is normal to appear on the sable cicada.

'The family of the man, the man has a wife is called a room, and the girl has a husband is called a family, so the girl is sincere, and marrying is far more than just enjoying the blessings for the man, and it is a family that can prosper.

It's a pity that such a rare and rare girl is unconscious, her long hair is half-combed, her long eyelashes cast a dark shadow, her eyes are misty and unfocused, and she doesn't know what she is thinking.

Ying'er sighed secretly that I was pitiful, so that the same girls only felt moved, and the disadvantaged man ignored it, thinking about it made her incomprehensible, men and women really have such a pure master-minister relationship?

Miss's lord wouldn't be, uh, what's not going to work...... Poor young lady......

After washing my hands, I went to make the bed, buried two packs of smoked orchids in the corner, prepared a set of middle clothes that my young lady often wears, and considered that the young lady likes to be clean, so I didn't prepare extra incense powder and prepared to fetch water.

Only then did I hear a belated reply from the window: "We can't leave yet, we have to wait a little longer......"

Ying'er smiled and couldn't help asking, "What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for the lord......" Diao Chan calmly combed the dignified bun of a married woman, raised her head slightly to look east, and then the rain fell, her face was indistinguishable in the twilight, and her eyes were shining, as if she was expecting, and seemed to convince herself: "He promised to come......"

Ying'er covered her forehead and was speechless, everything else was fine, as soon as she talked about the lord, she felt that her young lady was hopeless.

Where is this still a calculating and shrewd young lady, compared to the woman's bun used to disguise the noble lady, the mind is the trouble.

Ying'er couldn't help but defend with facts: "But the Tiger Prison is so dangerous, Dong Zhuobing is so much, and Taiping Dao is so powerful and real people help me, Miss has encountered danger several times, the wind in Luoyang is very tight, time is gone, and it will be ...... like this."

The maid was silent again, and she saw that although it was raining heavily, there was no moonlight at all, but a few feet away, there was moonlight reflected in the window, and the bright silver light penetrated through the thin red dress, and seeped into the girl's delicate body.

The clear and mysterious aura radiates from the inside out, the girl closes her eyebrows and eyes, and her skin is clean, all revealing a kind of exquisite clarity, even with a shallow silver light, like a goddess of moonlight.

Ying'er blinked, knowing that it was time for Miss's daily cultivation, it was inconvenient to disturb, and she consciously withdrew from Lu.

There is no light, and the lady does not need the light at night.

The young lady said that she was practicing a strange immortal method, the secret transmission of Emperor Wa, as if she was understanding and improving some new methods to cater to her own people......

Ying'er thought enviously, in fact, she couldn't understand these fairy mysteries, in short, they were very professional, and they must be very powerful...... This kind of pressure of the same essence has become more and more obvious in recent cultivation.

The door was closed, the footsteps were far away, and the room gradually fell silent, only the gauze curtain rolled and fluttered in the rainy evening of midsummer, and the silver light of the Qingming Dynasty was swirling, hooking the round and bright moon rising in the eastern sky.

At this time, the aura is brewing, rising, and condensing...... tried again and again, but there was always a trace of difference, and there was no essential breakthrough.

Diao Chan's eyebrows frowned slightly, trying to restrain his chaotic thoughts, his mother, his father-in-law, his family and country, Luoyang, a place where he grew up, and a man who is regarded as the lord ......,

Shielding all this, and Emperor Wa specially created the "Moonlight Secret Instrument" for her, and a layer of mysterious and mysterious diaphragm appeared in front of her again

——I feel that this membrane seems to break as soon as it is rushed, but it is tough like cowhide, and it is a new round of savings and attempts

Gradually, after half an hour, Diao Chan reached its limit, and the attempt at night was only declared a failure.

Opening his eyes, Diao Chan stared at the moon behind the clouds, biting his lip a little unwillingly, but he couldn't, special exercises always have advantages and disadvantages, these years in the soil are the period of their own luck, and it will be many times more difficult to improve if you miss the opportunity......

She stood alone in the dark of the window, thought for a while, closed the window with a "squeak", and in the small space that was closed due to the design of the formation, she took off her clothes, changed into a set of slightly old and fitting middle clothes, and lay down on the wooden bed.

The uncomfortable environment in the dark, the cool bamboo mat, and the solid and warm embrace without the memory made Diao Chan subconsciously clench the five-color escape jade talisman bracelet in his hand.

The old jade talisman bracelet has already been completed in several crises, this is a backup, an upgraded version of Qianqian's new system is still being sent through secret channels, and the Qinzheng Ancient Road between Yangcheng and Xincheng takes a long time, and I don't know where it has been sent now, and the lord told him to stop acting in the interrogation.

Diao Chan thought, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, although he was concerned, but he really wanted to stop...... It's just that before she receives a new jade talisman bracelet, she will be more careful, and there is even a tracking of the Yin God real person this month, which is too terrifying.

Although Ying'er chattered, one thing was not wrong, the wind in Luoyang was very tight and very dangerous.

Luoyang is no longer the Luoyang in memory, but a place that is not suitable for staying for a long time, for anyone.

Dong Zhuo's foundation is the Qiang soldiers, with the connivance of the way of razing the Han, the Han soldiers in the Xiliang Army still have a little scruples, the Qiang soldiers have no scruples, last month there were a series of tragic incidents, a group of Qiang soldiers robbed the people who were trading in the township market in the nearby Yangcheng, killed all the men, cut off their heads and put them side by side on the wheel, bloody and shocking, and took away a large number of women and a large amount of property back to Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo himself slaughtered loyal ministers, forced and humiliated concubines, and was speechless to his subordinates, the key was not to disobey his own foundation army, and ordered the heads to be concentrated and burned so as not to be identified by the people of Luoyang, and rewarded women and property to the soldiers as a seal, claiming that it was obtained from defeating traitors...... Diao Chan regrets every time he thinks about this, if only the lord could have annihilated the Qiang soldiers two years ago.

This is especially true for the common people, not to mention the captured rebels, who cut off their tongues, cut off their hands and feet, gouge out their eyes, and wrap cloth around their bodies, douse them with oil on their heads, and light fires to burn them alive......

Behind these brutalities is a broken jar, and Dong Zhuo's finances can no longer support it under the massive expansion of the army.

Diao Chan is the only person of the Han family who has read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and has a special identity, and is most concerned about the events that occurred during this period, and also knows that in the history of the Dao, Dong Zhuodang provoked a large-scale rebellion because of his brutality and inhumanity last year, and the heroes of the Kanto region fought against Dong, which should be this time last year.

At this time, it has been delayed until now, it is by no means Dong Zhuo's mercy, but the sequelae of Ye Qing's annihilation of three thousand Qiang soldiers two years ago, the loss of Lu Bu's force suppression, and the loss of half of the core seeds of the Qiang soldiers, the expansion speed of the Xiliang Army has been halved, and the progress has been delayed for a whole year.

And in the spring of this year, there were too many drastic changes, which diverted Dong Zhuo's attention - the Kwantung heroes developed greatly because of an extra year, first Yuan Shao sought to capture Jizhou, and Sun Jian sought to capture Yangzhou, and Liu Bei and Cao Cao fought in eastern Henan, which made Dong Zhuo watch the show for a long time.

With Cao Cao setting up another stove in front, Dong Zhuo felt that the time was ripe to abolish the emperor......

Or if you don't abolish the emperor, it will be worthless, and soon abolish the young emperor Liu Wei as the king of Hongnong, and with "the queen mother forced Yongle Palace, to make (mother-in-law Empress Dowager Dong) worry and die, and violated the etiquette of the mother-in-law (mother-in-law) and daughter-in-law" as the crime, moved to the Empress Dowager He in Yongle Palace, and succeeded Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the emperor, the world was in an uproar, accusing the way of non-ministers.

Dong Zhuo didn't do anything, and poisoned King Hongnong the next night, and let Li Ruqiang enter the Queen Mother's poisonous wine, but that night Yongle Palace was attacked by Kou, and the Queen Mother disappeared inexplicably in the chaotic army......

When it wasn't, Diao Chan personally surveyed and planned the route, determined the escape route of the Qin-Zheng Ancient Road, and finally the Queen Mother drove Xuchang and the truth was revealed to the world, making Dong Zhuo a clown for a while.

Then less than ten days, on the night when the Xiliang army summoned the ministers to celebrate, Emperor Xian died unexpectedly in the palace, explaining that he had lost his footing.

Doesn't it seem scary?

On the surface, there was nothing else, and he couldn't bite Dong Zhuo for a while, but he cut off the supply of money and food to the central government...... There are 500,000 households in Luoyang, including the people of Sili, and there are 1.51 million households and 6.68 million people in the Gyeonggi area, but the two counties outside the Tiger Prison Pass in the east are almost no longer controlled by Dong Zhuo, and the 1 million people in Hanoi County to the north of the Yellow River belong to Yuan Shao, and the 1.7 million Henan County to the south of the Yellow River is occupied by Guan Yutun's troops.

Dong Zhuo's actual population is very small, only 4 million people in the Tiger Prison Pass, and there are less than 3 million people left due to famine over the years, but he has to maintain 300,000 regular troops?

Without the support of taxes in the world, only relying on the scarce grain stocks of Luoyang, ten to one and they are professional soldiers who are out of production, how to raise them?

Cannibalism...... Can only eat people.

Dong Zhuo did his best to excavate the tombs of the emperors, the tombs of the princes and the ancestral tombs of the wealthy families, and the soldiers robbed the local people, which was still a drop in the bucket.

At the suggestion of Li Ru, a large number of the five baht coins in circulation were destroyed, and the five baht coins and all the bronze people, bronze bells and bronze horses in the city were broken and recast into small coins - the small coins were not only lighter in weight than the five baht coins, but also had no coat of arms, and the edges of the coins had no outline and were not resistant to wear and tear.

Even if there is no bottom line looting like this, the agricultural production has withered under the drought for many years, and there is no physical production to support it, Dong Zhuo's looting has come to an end - there is nothing else to scrape except worthless money, including the most deadly military rations.

The matter of moving the capital to Chang'an, or there is also a shortage of food in Luoyang, and the consideration of taking a step back to eat Chang'an, but the hometown of Sanqin in Guanzhong was invaded by Qiang soldiers, the water conservancy was in disrepair, the people were scattered, and the foundation of the people's morale was broken for a long time.

Diao Chan knows all this, she just doesn't want three million people to be buried with her, so she is willing to be in danger, even if there is only a glimmer of opportunity, she will try, to stimulate the strength hidden in the clan's body, and change the tragic fate of the people on the road from Luoyang to Chang'an.

Even her worries about the maid Ying'er are well known, the war is impermanent, and there is no real victory or defeat, what result is accurate?

What is more difficult than breaking through Xiongguan is to break through quickly, whether it can rescue both ends of Luoyang in time, on the one hand, it is the Tiger Prison Xiongguan, the heavy troops are accumulated, the Yin God is a real person, and on the other hand, it is a hasty alliance, each with different intentions, each with a few magicians, even if there are brave generals and top strategists, but in terms of the total strength and weight at both ends of the scale, no matter how you look at it, it will not change the tilt quickly.

Miracles are precious because they rarely happen.

"If the lord can't come...... The last hand is the riot of the countrymen, and he borrowed the lord's office to lay a good foundation for resources, Luoyang City is already a suppressed volcano, but to really erupt, there needs to be a series, and a spark is needed to detonate. ”

"No one in the real world is anyone's hero, but there is always a time to stand up, and in the face of the risk of repression, if it fails, it will be difficult to escape death as the host, right?"

Diao Chan clasped his palms, closed his eyes quietly in the dark, and burst into tears, no matter how strong he is on weekdays, he is a mortal after all, free from the arrangement and protection of the lord's wings, and he will be so weak in the face of the danger of death, fortunately, the lord will not see it......

"As the lord joked, there is no such person as Diao Chan in history...... I am just condensed by the regrets of my clansmen, pinned on their beautiful hopes, and incarnated by the opportunity of the transformation of yin and yang in the earth, then this is my cause and effect, my destiny ......"

The lord said it in a joking tone, knowing that it was a joke, but he couldn't let go of it - it turned out that he was just a person who wrote novels, not a real person in history?

Get along for a long time and see the sincerity, because of the humble background since childhood, the squeeze of the stepmother and sisters, Diao Chan is very sensitive to people's hearts, and knows who is good for him.

In the month of being honest with the lord on the earth, it was a rare pleasure in his life, and there were all kinds of wonders and wars, it was like entering a fairyland...... It's a pity that the dream will eventually wake up, and the soil is its hometown, and there are things that you can't let go.

"Cicadas also want to listen to the words of the lord, to protect themselves first, since ancient times, it has been difficult to die alone, who doesn't want to live well?"

But this land is a hometown, not a land without concern, and there are some things that can be done or not for the lord, but it is difficult for me to let go.

In life, sometimes there is really no way to ......

At this time, there was a sudden gust of wind, the dark clouds in the sky were still raining, but some gaps were blown, and in a short time, there was moonlight in the rain, Diao Chan couldn't help but get up, and prayed silently to the moon.

"If you can keep Luoyang and three million people, what does it matter if the cicadas die nine times?"

As soon as these words fell, there was another thunderclap, which exploded on the top, and then, crackling raindrops, smashed down even more, and in the distance, faintly heard the cheers of the farmers
