The second prince, who was in confinement, kept pouring himself wine. His face looked pale, like a corpse that had been dead for a long time.
In fact, there was not much difference between him and the dead body, because he knew that Ye Qiong was dead. Ye Qiong's death spread almost throughout the capital, and people were talking about the cause of Ye Qiong's death.
People who believe in conspiracy theory will think that Ye Qiong was forced by others before jumping into the river, but most people think that Ye Qiong is a loser. When he lost his position as the young head of the family, he couldn't bear the setback, so he couldn't think about it anymore.
But the real situation is intriguing. Few, if any, or no one knows it.
The second prince kept drinking. He was drunk. He was also a human being. Since he was a human being, he had sympathy. He smashed the wine bottle, only to hear a crash, and the wine hit the wall. The pot shattered, the wine pot shattered, and the robot-like eunuch walked in from outside the cold palace.
A eunuch said: "The second prince started throwing things again."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a wine flask. It's much better than beating someone." Another eunuch said.
So a fresh porcelain pot was delivered to the cold palace, and the second prince said: "How is Ye Qiong doing now? How is he doing?!"
After suffering a defeat, the second prince knew very well that it was not because he was incompetent, but because Ye Qiong could not beat others, which meant that the eldest prince was even more powerful.
"Brother Second Emperor." A voice came from outside the door. The second prince looked up and saw that it was the third prince. The third prince was naturally the third prince. The third prince was holding a food box with a smile on his face, but that The smile was sarcastic: "You're fine."
"Third son, are you here to see my joke? If you plan to see my joke, please get out of here and get out of here. I don't care if you come to see me!" The second prince said hysterically. He didn't seem to care. Like no one comes to disturb your peace.
But the third child was calm. He glanced at the third prince and said slowly: "What a coincidence. I'm here to bring you food."
The third prince put down a food box, which was full of delicacies. The second prince's index finger moved immediately. After all, the food in prison was quite shabby. Now that he can have fish and meat, he is undoubtedly the happiest. .
The second prince sneered: "That's more or less the same, but now that your brother and I have fallen into trouble, what are your plans?"
"You asked for it." The third prince said with a smile.
The second prince was about to speak when suddenly he felt something was choking his throat, and his breathing became difficult. He began to spit out white foam and pointed at the third prince angrily. He fell to the ground and began to twitch.
Not long after, the second prince was dead, and the third prince opened the hidden compartment inside the food box, and inside was a piece of white silk. He put the white silk around the second prince's neck, and hung it on the beam of the house. , it looked like he had committed suicide by hanging from a beam. After finishing all this, the third prince fell to his knees on the ground with a plop. He burst into tears: "Second brother, why did you die so miserably? Why..."
The guards outside rushed over one after another and saw the death of the second prince. These people's faces were quite ugly, because they were not well guarded and could not escape death.
…
Li Yuguo traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, and there were more than 30,000 people in the group, 10,000 of them were Heavenly Wolf Guards, and the remaining 20,000 were the families of the Heavenly Wolf Guards, or ordinary people who were loyal to Li Yuguo and his wife.
After all, over the past six months or so, the benefits created by Li Huguo and his wife for Tianlang City have improved everyone's lives, and everyone with a discerning eye has noticed it. After that, Li Huguo even devoted himself to fighting against foreign enemies for the sake of the people. The people are not fools, so naturally all Seen it all.
It’s been half a month since we arrived at Dragon City, and there are still seven days before the Shenxu Trial begins. If you fly with your sword and hurry, you can reach Tianwu Academy in about three days. After all, Dragon City is not too far from Jiangdu, even if It's a carriage ride, which only lasts seven days at most.
As expected, Dragon City was even more dilapidated than the original Nalan City. The entire city wall was made of loess and rocks.
In the corner of the city wall, there were some homeless refugees. The people were all sallow and pitiful. They looked like a refugee concentration camp or a huge slum. Seeing this scene, Chen Laogen frowned slightly. , he said: "Brother, sister-in-law, this Dragon City is too... Why did you choose this place, brother? With my eldest brother's merits and status as a fifth-grade officer, you can choose a better city. This Dragon City is too..." … What’s that?”
Chen Laogen couldn't say it directly, because saying it directly would damage Li Yuguo's face. Although Bai Zhifan was also curious, he said nothing. He looked at Li Yuguo with a deep look, which was trust from the heart.
Since the last beast wave incident, Bai Zhifan felt that a consciousness that had never appeared in his heart had emerged. He had a desire for blood, killing and war, but he did not dare to reveal too much. So as not to cause resentment to others.
The Dragon City at the scene was still a county town, and this county government was where Li Huguo wanted to live. The surrounding victims were obviously very afraid of Li Huguo, and they all looked at him in fear, not daring to say a word.
This is very consistent with Li Huguo's knowledge, because in this Dragon City, bandits are raging, and the former city lord is also a huge greedy person. Dragon City is already in such a state of decline, but he has amassed a lot of money, which is simply shocking. Point out.
This is like a child who had a shadow in his childhood and has a natural fear of adults. This fear is how the people feel about Li Huguo now. They are also afraid that Li Huguo will be like the previous city lord, extorting money from them, regardless of the people. Life or death.
After putting away the luggage, Li Hugo notified the people in the city that they would release grain. This news was like a bombshell, exploding in the exhausted Dragon City. At first, people thought it was an illusion and a lie, but as Li Hugo After three grain trucks stopped at the gate of the county government office, the whole Longcheng was boiling. Li Hugo saw that almost everyone, whether ordinary people or refugees from outside, gathered near the county government office. He went to the county government office at the gate. He said: "Everyone is queuing up. Each person can only take two buckets of rice and noodles, which will be distributed once every seven days. Princess Nalan is new here. As the lord of this city, please take care of her!"
As soon as these words came out, Nalan Meng next to him was confused: "Didn't you agree that you would be the city lord? Why did you become me again?"
"Haha, the city lord is too troublesome. I still like to eat soft rice! But don't forget, my nickname is King of soft rice!" As he said that, Li Hugo hugged Nalan Meng's slender waist, causing Nalan Meng to giggle. Laugh.
Nalan Meng said angrily: "You, you want to be a hands-off shopkeeper again, don't you?"
"Yes, my dear wife, you are so powerful!" Li Yuguo smiled apologetically.
