A few shops do some business, and recruit more manpower by the way. "
The blue-and-white tiger looked down at the amount on the bank note, and couldn't help being so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth: "So many?"
Yu Linglong got up, walked out, and said as she walked, "Since it's called the Dragon and Tiger Gang, let's make a career, so as not to disgrace the name!"
The blue and white tiger blushed, and couldn't help but clenched the bank note tightly: "Yes, the little one must obey the princess' orders."
This large sum of money is the foundation for them to stand up and survive!
Yu Linglong walked to the door, paused, and said without looking back: "Also, no one is allowed to cause trouble without my order."
Just because she took in these gangsters, it doesn't mean that she is willing to be their backer and pay for their troubles, so this ugly talk should be said first.
Startled by her icy tone, Qinghuahu hurriedly said: "I don't dare."
Yu Linglong pointed to Linger and said: "What's the matter, go to the back door of the palace and ask someone to send a message to Linger."
The respectful eyes of Qinghuahu and others immediately fell on Linger, and they shouted in unison: "Miss Linger."
Suddenly being stared at by a group of big men, Ling'er couldn't help but blushed, she quickly straightened her face, nodded to them as a response, and quickly followed Yu Linglong out.
What kind of show is the princess playing, she is not mentally prepared at all!
Ling'er followed Yu Linglong out the door and called out "Princess", but she saw Yu Linglong looking at the little maids who entered the yard with buckets in a daze.
After a long while, Yu Linglong asked a random question: "Where can I buy slaves?"
Ling'er was very strange, and replied with a puzzled face: "Wangfei wants to buy someone? This slave girl is looking for Ren Yazi to come over..."
Yu Linglong shook her head and said, "No, I want to buy slaves, the lowest, most humble, and miserable slaves."
Hearing Yu Linglong's words, Ling'er's face showed a rare seriousness: "Princess, can I ask you why you want to buy slaves?"
Sensing the strangeness in Linger's tone, Yu Linglong turned around and said, "Do you still remember that day when I wanted to buy a mountain?"
Ling'er nodded, and her face softened a little: "Does the princess want slaves to go to the mountain? I understand."
Yu Linglong didn't speak, but she didn't deny it either. Did Ling'er think that she bought slaves to cultivate mountains? No, her purpose is more important than Kaishan.
Ling'er looked in the direction where the little maids disappeared, with a look of reminiscence on her face, but also with a bit of pain and sorrow.
"Princess, the servants came out of the hand of Ren Yazi in the past. During those days, it was really..." Ling'er pursed her lips, obviously unwilling to recall, but quickly turned to the topic, "But the fate of the servants It's not bad, because slaves are born clean, so they can be sold to rich families with many innocent girls, and even if they are not good enough, they can also become maids or concubines of small families, but many people are not so lucky. I've seen it with my own eyes... It's really scary... "
Her voice gradually lowered, even in the bright spring, her tone could not feel a trace of warmth, but filled with a chill that made people shudder.
"... Among them, there are men and women, old and young. The youngest I have ever seen is only three years old, and I don't understand anything. They were also dragged out and sold. The child's mother called us If you don’t understand, you will cry to death. Princess, servants really don’t understand, they are human, why should they be treated like this?”
Yu Linglong softly
Asked, "Who are they?"
Ling'er said: "Some of them are prisoners of war, some are prisoners, and some are uncivilized barbarians captured by people in the frontier. Many of them even dragged their families with them. Even children a few years old were captured. Because their family background is unknown, or their language No reason, or a criminal record, so decent people will not buy them as servants, they fall into the hands of Ren Yazi, so they can only go to the most miserable places, such as brothels... "
Ling'er's slender eyebrows were tightly knit into a ball, and she almost gritted her teeth to continue: "But even brothels are not easy to go to, they only want young and beautiful girls, and other people can only go to Saltworks, coal mines, quarries, and even lime kilns, slaves have heard people say that no one who goes to these places can live beyond three months."
Even Yu Linglong, who has a heart of stone, can't help being shocked when she hears these words. In this era, there are no machines, no gas masks, and everything depends on manpower and manual work. If the situation is really as Linger said …
She really didn't want to imagine how those people lived the last moments of their lives under such difficult conditions, where human life was so humble that it was not worth anything.
Yu Linglong sighed, and said softly: "I'll leave this matter to you, take the silver, and go and buy those slaves, as many as there are, but only those under the age of twelve."
Although her plan is also very cruel, at least these slaves who are left with a dead end can live.
Ling'er pulled her thoughts back, and couldn't help but feel a little strange when she heard Yu Linglong's words: "The princess wants to buy those children? What can they do?"
Yu Linglong didn't answer anymore, but walked into the garden.
A gust of wind blew from nowhere, blowing the blooming spring flowers flying all over the sky, and unknowingly, the residual red fell all over the ground.
In the depths of the flowers, the woman in the red dress, with a determined back, seemed to be walking forward with a determination that nothing could stop her.
Some things, once you have decided to do it, you must do it to the end.
…
Everything was just as Yu Linglong expected, since the purpose of deterring the prince was to be achieved, the canonization ceremony of King Xu would be extremely grand.
That day, she appeared on the top of the city tower in a splendid attire, her bright beautiful eyes flew up sharply, and she looked at the high platform outside the city from a distance.
There, the armor is distinct, and the handsome flag is strong.
Even though they were far apart, she could still hear the deafening sound of ceremonies and music, with the majesty of the royal family and the awe of an army, piercing into the ears of the crowd like a sharp sword.
The bright yellow canopy that symbolizes the emperor is particularly obvious in the black armor. The emperor is here in person.
The metal-colored rays of light are like overwhelming tides, with a cold light. They are the legendary Nine Battalions and Twelve Guards. Standing clearly in the huge open space, they exude a faint majesty of the emperor.
They are the top army in the whole world, and they are responsible for the important mission of guarding the imperial city. They are nine battalions and twelve guards with noble backgrounds.
Even without saying a word, the soldiers are still tall and straight, exuding awe-inspiring coldness and excellence.
In the army full of swords and guns, there was a figure, which was still shining proudly even among thousands of people, attracting her eyes.
On the red felt that stretched for miles, a tall and tall figure walked towards the high platform with firm steps.
He was dressed in black iron armor, with an epee on his waist, and a pure black cloak flying high in the wind. His figure was as straight as a pine, as if gathering the power of the whole world, piercing through the sky.
Walking ten feet away from the high platform, he unloaded the sword, handed it to the ceremony officer, and stepped up the steps.
The one-hundred-section steps were so long and so high, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and followed Xu Wang's figure under the brilliant sunlight.
That is her husband, her reliance, and her pride.
At this moment, a sense of pride surged up in her heart that she had never felt before, and her slender fingers could not help but secretly clenched the rose gold auspicious cloud-patterned brocade robe.
This was the first time that she deeply felt that she and him shared weal and woe.
It turns out that this is true love. She and him are not supporting or supporting each other, but guarding each other and looking out for each other. He is not a towering green pine, nor is she a little flower under his protection. He needs shelter from the wind and rain. She and him are two closely intertwined trees at the base of the ground, their stubborn branches stretching infinitely towards the sky, neither will limit the other, but will silently transmit energy to each other, share the sunshine, rain and dew, share the storm, and finally together Grow into a towering giant tree.
Perfect love is by no means letting her give up the world, but letting her see the whole world through him.
149 Are you really going to kill me
Before the canonization ceremony was over, Yu Linglong had already quietly walked down the tower. 悫琼琻浪
The magnificent robe was dragged heavily on the steps, and the spring breeze was blowing with a bit of chill, but it couldn't lift a single corner of her clothes.
At this moment, she felt that there was a heavy burden on her shoulders, but also because of this weight, her steps became more steady and powerful.
Now that they are involved in the center of this storm, let them fight the storm together!
Beside Zhulun's canopy cart, Yu Linglong supported Ling'er's hand, and looked out of the city again, where the sun had completely broken free from the cover of the clouds and cast a glow all over the sky.
Slightly squinting her eyes, she suddenly wondered how magnificent it would be when the light shone on his stalwart shoulders.
Lifting her feet slowly, she boarded the carriage, Ling'er lowered the curtain respectfully, turned her head and said crisply: "Let's go."
The carriage started up in response, and the sparkling sound resounded in the empty street, making it seem extraordinarily long.
In the luxurious carriage, Yu Linglong sat on the thick brocade mattress, thinking about the next plan.
Xu Wang canonized as the leader of the Nine Battalions and Twelve Guards, which is almost equivalent to completely tearing the face off with the prince. I don't know how the prince who has been pretending to be benevolent, filial and righteous will react this time
No need to think about it, he must be gnashing his teeth in his heart, hating Xu Wang to death, and will therefore list Xu Wang as his number one enemy.
This is better since
