Qin Yining naturally knew that the future was bumpy, but after this incident, she also felt a sense of return. Pang Xiao's ability is outstanding, but Qin Yining is still worried about his safety. He was beaten, and he didn't know what the deep feelings were. Qin Yining really didn't know what his current situation was.
"What Mr. Xu said is. We still have a long way to go."
Qin Yining's team stayed at the port for two days, and the people of Mizuze were already shrouded in a tense atmosphere. The troops and warships stationed in the port were a great threat to them. Therefore, the purchase of fresh water and food went even more smoothly than expected.
Before leaving, Qin Yining once again brought his entourage to Sakurai's grave.
She lowered her eyes to look at Sakurai's tombstone, and finally gave a long, faint cry, "Sakurai, I'm leaving."
The grass and trees made a pleasant rustling sound, as if Sakurai was answering her words with a smile.
Qin Yining took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and finally showed a relieved smile.
People live forever, grass and trees fall, the people who have passed away have passed away, and the people who are alive will continue. She still has a lot of important things to do, because she has never regarded herself as a woman who must be cared for. His burden has never been less than that of Pang Xiao.
"Let's go." Taking one last look at the tombstone, Qin Yining led the crowd to leave, returned to the pier and immediately ordered the camp to be pulled out.
The guards were well-trained to board the ship one after another to lift anchor.
Qin Yining stood on the bow of the big boat and looked back at the shore.
A thin figure stood on the pier, waving his arms to say goodbye to them.
Looking at the thin figure, Qin Yining couldn't help but think of Sakurai.
"It's Hirasawa." Qin Yining also waved at Hirasawa.
One of Xie Yue and Xu Wei stood behind Qin Yining on the left and right, and also waved goodbye to Hirazawa.
"What does the princess think about the future of Mizusawa?"
Qin Yining shook his head, "Who could have predicted that."
"Actually, looking at Hirasawa's performance that day, the old man feels that he has already listened to your words that day."
"If this is the case, it will be considered the luck of the people of Mizusawa."
When Qin Yining's team set off day and night to the Golden Port, the court and the opposition were already in chaos.
Li Qitian's arrangement to track down the treasure really didn't yield any results. The emperor Longyan was furious and traced Lu Heng's whereabouts everywhere. The Lu family in the court was suppressed like never before, and even Concubine Zhuang was demoted to the election servant. What will happen to the Bian family.
Lu Heng deceived the emperor and stole the treasure with the intention of rebelling. Where can Lu Heng's Yue family go to innocence
Pang Xiao saw that Li Qitian was focusing his energy on these things all day, and the refugees from the south were about to come to the capital, and he didn't ask, and he felt a fire in his heart.
However, he is not trusted now, and his comments will not be accepted, and even Li Qitian doesn't want to see him, so he can only instruct his subordinates to help as much as possible, storekeeper Zhong Da, who is in charge of disaster relief.
"My lord, the Lu family has been liquidated like this. It seems that the sage hated and poisoned the Lu family. Otherwise, he would not have been so ruthless and dealt with people related to the Lu family one by one with great fanfare."
Pang Xiao just smiled when he heard Tang Xiu's words.
When the dynasty was established, the prominent family headed by the Lumen family was of great help to Li Qitian. Now, because of the treasure, Li Qitian is so heavy on the Lu family, it will definitely make the rest of the big family feel vigilant. Once people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to win over again. In Pang Xiao's view, Li Qitian's behavior was tantamount to killing a chicken and taking an egg.
But he is also under suspicion now, and no one wants to pay attention to what he says. Even if he tells Li Qitian what he thinks, Li Qitian will only guess if he has ulterior motives, and will not put all his energy on natural disasters at all. .
Pang Xiao shook his head and sighed again, then asked, "Is there any news from the person you arranged?"
Tang Xiu smiled and said, "Your Highness has already asked this question once today. Our people avoided the eyes and ears, and have been waiting near the Golden Port to receive the Princess. When the Princess comes back, there will be news immediately."
Pang Xiao said: "I can't go out of the capital now, otherwise I'll have to pick people up in person. Not only are there ambush on the way, but there's also a great chance of encountering 'heroes'. After all, many refugees are coming to the capital these days. In a hurry, in order to survive, anything is possible."
"Fortunately, there are enough people around the princess. The prince doesn't have to worry too much."
How could Pang Xiao not be worried? It's just that there is no better way right now.
Before Qin Yining landed in the Golden Port, he arranged the ship with the treasure and the rest of the warships on an uninhabited island. Pang Xiao's men and horses who were trained as guards of the palace were also scattered.
When he arrived at Jingang, bypassed the pier that was destroyed by the fire, and landed from the temporary pier, Qin Yining was left with only Xu Weizhi, Xie Yue, and a few people who followed her normally.
Everyone pretended to be an ordinary businessman, and as soon as they got ashore, they found that the atmosphere in Jingang was completely different from when they left.
The people in the city looked worried, the restaurants and tea houses were closed, the market was sparsely populated, and there was a depression everywhere.
Xie Yue frowned and whispered, "Princess, this situation doesn't seem right."
Qin Yining pursed his lips and nodded, and said solemnly: "It seems that during our absence, a major event happened in the court, which has affected the lives of ordinary people."
After walking on the street for a long time without seeing many pedestrians, Qin Yining casually said, "Let's go to the bus station first. I'll buy a carriage and prepare dry food for the trip today. You can also take the opportunity to inquire about the situation and see how the situation in the DPRK is going."
Qin Yining vaguely felt that the matter was related to the fire in Jingang.
However, the news that was inquired made Qin Yining's heart rise.
"You mean, the famine has broken out?"
"Yes." Jing Zhe said worriedly, "Now the famine is severe in the south, many victims have gone to Beijing together to find a way to survive. The Golden Port is because it is by the sea, so there are some seafood to eat, and this is not the only way to go to the capital. , looks only slightly different. If it is in the south, I am afraid that every family has white silk, and everywhere there are people who are as thin as a wood under hunger and discouragement. "
Ji Yun frowned and said, "The strange way just went to discuss the banquet with the store owner, and the store owner looked embarrassed. Even a japonica rice porridge is more than five times more expensive than usual."
"We can still eat with some money. But the refugees in the south can't do anything if they have money. There is no way to survive at home, and the people will naturally look for a place to continue their life in groups. Yes." Xie Yue said.
Qin Yining shook his head, "It is those people that I feel bad for."
Xie Yue and Xu Weiyi also sighed with emotion.
Just as everyone was discussing the matter in the inn, a figure suddenly flashed past the back window.
Ji Dashun, who was on duty, was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Who is it!"
