Wang Congzhi didn't deny it, nor did he reveal his true colors immediately, he just bowed to Mingxi, "Where did you come from?"
"We are from Jin Kingdom." Ming Xi did not directly explain his identity.
"As expected." Wang Congzhi glanced at Mingxi, guessing his identity more or less in his mind.
Mingxi asked Mio'er to give him the horse, "Let's go on our way first."
"Wait a minute, their orphans and widows are in danger here, so give them a ride." Wang Congzhi pointed to the mother and son.
"Then let's go together and find a place where we can resettle." Ming Xi glanced at the refugees around him. They were still eyeing the dry food in the children's hands. If the two of them were left behind, they would definitely be bullied.
So, they took the mother and son with them, and continued to walk towards Dingdu City. They found a quiet village on the road, settled the mother and son, and then continued on their way.
Wang Congzhi led his horse to the entrance of the village. He looked back. The village was full of smoke, and it looked peaceful. He squinted his eyes and sighed slightly, "I don't know how long this tranquility can last. I hope their mother and son can live well here."
There is not much they can do, they can only find a remote and quiet village for them, find a house that can be resettled, so that they can live.
"At least it's better than being a refugee." Fire Phoenix said.
"Those refugees... were originally people with families." Wang Congzhi's eyes showed a trace of sadness.
Mingxi said, "After the chaos, there will always be peace."
Wang Congzhi glanced at Mingxi, "You are no longer the prince of Jin, why are you here?"
"For the sake of the common people in the world, can you trust this statement?" Ming Xi asked with a smile.
"I don't believe it." Wang Congzhi rolled his eyes, "I heard that you captured Beitang Xuanyang, why did you let him run away?"
Mingxi smiled faintly, "I also wanted to know how he ran away, so I came to look for him."
Wang Congzhi looked at Mingxi with raised eyebrows, "Why didn't you kill him?"
"If I see him again, I will kill him." Mingxi said.
"Did Qian Danqing really go to kill Beitang Yu?" Wang Congzhi asked.
Ming Xi got on his horse, "Yes, and he must be killed."
Wang Congzhi fell silent, and said in a low voice, "Qian Danqing and the emperor are young."
"Aren't we childhood sweethearts with Queen Wang?" Ming Xi asked with a half-smile, but he heard that Qian Danqing seemed to mention Queen Wang.
It's not for his own sister, isn't his sister Qian Guifei
Wang Congzhi didn't speak again, he got on his horse, "Since Beitang Xuanyang is going to Dingdu City, he must want to usurp the throne, we have to go to Dingdu City first."
"I don't know if Beitang Yu can reach Dingdu City safely, so find Beitang Xuanwei first." Ming Xi said.
"Go to Dingdu first to save the queen." Wang Congzhi said, maybe the queen will know where Beitang Xuanwei is.
Mingxi and Mioer rode a steed together, and he caught up with Wang Congzhi, "If you hadn't met us, where would you be going?"
"Leaving Beiming Kingdom, go to Qi Kingdom to lobby for help." Wang Congzhi said quietly.
"Why don't you come to Jin Country?" Ming Xi asked.
"If you don't borrow money from Qi State, then go to Jin State." Wang Congzhi didn't turn his head, anyway, he would try his best to prevent the Qian family from succeeding.
Mingxi smiled lightly, what a character.
…
…
Beitang Yu had just left the Kingdom of Jin, and the assassins he met on the way came in an endless stream.
He recognized these people as the dead men of the Qian family. He knew that the Qian family had raised a group of dead men before, but there was no evidence, so he didn't pay much attention to them. Only now did he know that these dead men of Qian Danqing were to deal with him.
"You are such a useless emperor, it's fine if no one comes to save you, but you still want to assassinate you." After killing the last assassin, Shen Yi finally couldn't help mocking Beitang Yu.
"These are all Qian Danqing's people." Beitang Yu's face was gloomy and uncertain. When he was imprisoned in Jin Kingdom, he was sure that the queen would send an envoy to rescue him, but the envoy did not appear for a long time. Something must have happened.
Anyone can betray him, only the queen...
She and him were young couples, and she used to risk her life for him. Looking back now, he really treated her badly these years.
I only hope that she and the eldest prince are safe and sound.
"No one came to save you." Shen Yi continued to mock.
Beitang Yu gave him a cold look, "If you don't have the ability to escort me back to Dingdu City, you can tell the truth."
"If we leave, can you go back alive?" Shen Yi said.
"Your Majesty, it's important for us to hurry." Fang Rusheng hurriedly reminded them, taking advantage of the death of these assassins, they can calm down for a few days, and hurry back to Dingdu City.
Beitang Yu stopped arguing with Shen Yi and hurried on the road in the dark.
Not long after he entered the border of Beiming Kingdom, he began to notice that something was wrong. There were refugees everywhere, and the people complained, complaining that the tax was too heavy.
How is this going
Bei Tangyu went directly to the local county government to inquire clearly, only to know that the imperial court increased taxes and required all men over the age of twelve and under the age of sixty to be recruited into the army.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid something happened to Dingducheng." Fang Rusheng said in a trembling voice.
"Hurry up!" Beitang Yu said with a livid face.
Before they arrived at Dingdu City, Shen Yi had already found out the situation of Dingdu City for him.
"I heard that the eldest prince is missing, the queen is seriously ill, and now the court is controlled by Prime Minister Qian."
"What?" Beitang Yu cried out, "Why did the First Prince disappear? What happened to the Queen?"
Shen Yi waved his hand, "I just heard that, your eldest prince met a wild beast on his way to the Kingdom of Jin, and was snatched away by the wild beast."
"Impossible!" Fang Rusheng exclaimed, "How can there be wild beasts for no reason!"
"Sometimes people are scarier than beasts." Shen Yi said coolly beside him, "Beasts don't think about others."
Beitang Yu clenched his fists, "I won't let the Qian family go."
"Your Majesty, you have been on the road for two days, you should rest for one night before you go on the road." Fang Rusheng advised.
"No, continue on your way." Beitang Yu said persistently.
Shen Yi frowned and said, "We haven't slept for two days. If we continue on our way, we won't be able to protect you if we meet an assassin. We are all human, not made of iron."
Bei Tangyu was anxious to return to Dingdu City, but he also knew that it was useless to rush back now, Dingdu City must be in the hands of the Qian family, he had to find a way to contact the old department first.
"Rest." Beitang Yu whispered, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
He really shouldn't have promoted the Qian family to where it is today.
If it wasn't for him, how could the Wang family be suppressed...
"Your Majesty." Fang Rusheng glanced at Bei Tang Yu in surprise, he seemed to see tears in Bei Tang Yu's eyes.
"I will definitely tear Qian Danqing into pieces!" Beitang Yu said through gritted teeth.
