According to Yan Siran, his family is a businessman in the city, and they run the largest restaurant in the city, so they don't have to worry about food and drink. He has just turned eight years old this year and is already the age of the governor, so listening to the rain is not a big deal. Agree with him to bring people back. As for Yan Qing, although she didn't say anything, her slightly frowned expression showed her worry.
Jiang Tangzhou has made up his mind, and he will not change it easily. Ting Yu is also a stubborn girl, and he will not leave: "How can I know whether what this kid said is true or not? What if there is something ulterior motive?"
In fact, there was no reason for Ting Yu to be worried. Jiang Tangzhou naturally thought about it, but since he decided to take the child away, he was already mentally prepared to bear the consequences.
After all, Yan Qing stood up and pulled Tingyu, saying: "Sister Tingyu doesn't know what kind of temper Master is, isn't that how I was picked up by Master?"
After all, Ting Yu was picked up by Jiang Tangzhou in the same way.
Ting Yu suddenly became a little dumb, pulled the corner of his clothes, and stared at the child for a while.
Yan Siran couldn't bear his gaze, shrank away from his gaze, and said, "I'm not a bad person..." The voice was so weak that it was hard to hear.
Ting Yuchang sighed, and said: "That's all! Do as you please, I'm a maid, how dare I say anything to you."
Jiang Tangzhou tapped her forehead lightly: "I don't know which maid it was, who just stood here and argued with me for a long time."
Ting Yu snorted heavily, turned around and walked forward first.
Then Yan Siran was led by Yan Qing, and the group continued to walk in.
Along the way, a lot of people turned up again. There were almost no living people in the city, and there was even green smoke from the chimneys of the roadside huts, but no one would come to use the kitchen table anymore.
Jiang Tangzhou's mood became more and more depressed, and he couldn't relax until he reached the edge of the city.
"Let's rest here for a while." Seeing that Jiang Tangzhou's face was not looking very good, Yan Qing suggested, "It happens that I haven't eaten for more than a day. Let's get something for my grandfather."
Jiang Tangzhou was still sitting there, wondering what was going on in his mind.
Xie Yi quickly lit the fire, set up the shelf, and put the dry food brought out on it to bake. After a while, the aroma wafted out. As soon as the smell came out, it made people want to move. Jiang Tangzhou and the others had obviously turned the city over. After reading it again, there are still "fish that slipped through the net".
Several seriously injured people stared at this place in a dark corner.
Jiang Tangzhou heard the movement, held the hot pancake, tore half of it for Yan Siran, and said, "Take one each, and send the rest to the people over there."
"People over there?" Ting Yu raised his head and glanced around, "Where are people?"
"We are about ten meters to the right." Jiang Tangzhou said, "Let's go."
Ting Yu dubiously walked over to the other end, but when she reached the position of ten meters, she really saw a very hidden small hole here, and there were a few pairs of eyes staring at the pancakes in her hand, Ting Yu was so scared that she snapped Taking a step back, Xie Yi hurriedly stepped forward to protect her behind him.
"I'm fine." Ting Yu handed out the pancake in his hand, and the pancake was quickly snatched by the people inside.
She couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, but only saw pairs of eyes. She guessed that those people didn't trust them, so she kept hiding here.
Ting Yu hesitated for a moment, and said: "There is a relief point fifty miles south of the city, everyone can go there."
No one spoke inside.
Ting Yu sighed, and then returned to Jiang Tangzhou.
Jiang Tangzhou asked her how the situation was, she just said: "I gave everything, but I didn't see anyone, so I was very vigilant."
"Yeah." Jiang Tangzhou took a bite of the pancake in a dull manner, lowered his head and remained silent.
The atmosphere is a bit depressing.
For a moment no one spoke.
Until the sound of horseshoes was heard not far away, Jiang Tangzhou frowned and said quickly, "Someone is coming."
"It can't be from Qinguo, can it?" Ting Yuxin was startled, and hurried to collect things, "Master, why don't we find a place to hide first."
As soon as Jiang Tangzhou stood up, he heard a very familiar bell sound—it was the sound that Yin Wenzheng put on himself to show off the jade pendant he gave him.
Later, when he came to the border, he took it down in order not to attract people's tongue, but now he heard it again.
Jiang Tangzhou stopped subconsciously, and the sound of the horse's hooves became more and more hurried. However, in a few breaths, with a "wow", a large number of people stopped beside the fire that had not been completely extinguished.
A figure didn't even wait for the horse to stand still, and flew down, directly hugging Jiang Tangzhou into his arms, hugging him so tightly that he couldn't find a single gap.
"... Ah Tang."
Yin Wenzheng's voice trembled slightly, if Jiang Tangzhou was not in his arms, he wouldn't even be able to hear it.
"Fortunately, you're fine." Yin Wenzheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his nose was filled with the smell of medicine from Jiang Tangzhou, which was light and reassuring.
He couldn't recall the sense of loss and emptiness in his heart when he found out that Jiang Tangzhou was not there again.
Holding him tightly in his arms again, he felt the feeling of being suspended in the air all the time, and finally found the most reliable harbor and a place to dock.
Jiang Tangzhou patted his back lightly with his hands, and his tense body relaxed little by little.
Everything he was worried about before turned into nothingness at this moment, and his discomfort and grief were relieved and healed in this instant.
Jiang Tangzhou buried his head into his neck, muffled his voice, and said softly, "I miss you so much."
"I miss you too." Yin Wenzheng rubbed the opponent's back heavily.
Jiang Tangzhou tightly held Yin Wenzheng's side waist and the corner of his clothes, absorbing the scorching heat from his body like duckweed: "Wenzheng, I have wanted to tell you several times, otherwise this battle will not be fought... But If we don't fight, the war will never stop..."
Yin Wenzheng rubbed the back of his head, and said in a deep voice, "A Tang, if you can't break it, you can't build it. You should understand this truth better than me."
Jiang Tangzhou tilted his head, and kissed his earlobe secretly: "Qing Zheng, do you still remember that you told me before that if you save one person, there are still thousands of people struggling in the water and fire, so the real prayer, It is to save thousands of people, to save ten thousand people, to save the common people in this world... and to save all living beings in this world, you need a wise king."
He raised his head slightly, and his gray pupils looked at him without blinking for a moment—he didn't even know what he looked like, but he didn't know when he had an almost blind dependence on him.
"I remember." Yin Wenzheng nodded, "At that time you still asked me if I would be a wise king."
"Yeah." Jiang Tangzhou nodded heavily, "In the end you asked me, do I want you to be a wise king?"
"So you have the answer now, don't you?" Yin Wenzheng rubbed his messy bun and looked at him quietly.
"I think." Jiang Tangzhou said every word, "I want you to be a wise king, save thousands of people, save ten thousand people, and save the common people in this world."
"Okay." Yin Wenzheng agreed without hesitation, "Then I will be a wise king and come to save the common people in this world."
...
With the help of Heng Jun, all the surviving people in the city were resettled to the relief point. Jiang Tangzhou followed him and took a look. Although the conditions were not good, at least these people had a place to stay. There is no need to worry about the enemy attacking again.
The city was not broken, and the Qin army would certainly come back again. The Heng army simply occupied this city temporarily, and the guards on the city wall were replaced by Wu Cong's men.
Jiang Tangzhou also asked Yan Siran if he wanted to be a book boy by his side, but it seemed that he had other pursuits, so Jiang Tangzhou made some arrangements and asked him to practice martial arts with the big bosses of Hengjun first, and Yan Siran got busy However, Jiang Tangzhou seldom saw him.
After half a month, Jiang Tangzhou lived in the room again, even though there was an endless smell of blood all around. For this reason, Ting Yu washed the bedding in the house four times at least, but Jiang Tangzhou could still smell that smell.
Yin Wenzheng said that he had a psychological effect, and was disgusted by Jiang Tangzhou.
After Shu Qin's accident, people from Lu Yanfeng's faction became much quieter. They usually behave with their buttocks between their sides in front of others. On the contrary, Wu Cong and his group became more and more rampant, and sometimes even patted the table with Yin Wenzheng.
Jiang Tangzhou thought that Yin Wenzheng would fall out with Wu Cong, but he didn't want Yin Wenzheng to be very calm from the beginning to the end, saying "Small intolerance can lead to big schemes", fighting with Wu Cong during the day, and hugging the thin man when he came back at night. A daughter-in-law who has a little bit of hands is considered happy.
On the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month, the military camp received an urgent letter from the palace. The letter said that Emperor Ling Yu was ill and was bedridden.
Accompanying this letter is a secret letter.
It was written by Yin Wenzheng's eyeliner who stayed in the capital.
Said that Emperor Ling Yu's body was always up and down because of being stabbed last time, this time he couldn't get up at all, he hadn't been to the morning court for several days, the situation in the capital was in chaos, the fourth prince Ling Yingchong fainted Point grasp the meaning of the overall situation.
Yin Wenzheng remained silent with a sullen face. He put the letter on the candle and burned it to ashes, and then said: "The opportunity I've been waiting for, I didn't expect it to come so soon."
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Tangzhou asked him.
"Stand still." Yin Wenzheng said indifferently, "Lu Yanfeng has been in business for many years, and it is impossible to do nothing. Wouldn't it be better to let them eat dogs first, and then I come to reap the benefits of the fisherman at the end?"
Jiang Tangzhou frowned tightly: "What the hell is this Lu Yanfeng?"
"He has no background." Yin Wenzheng said indifferently, "It's just a dog that the old man picked up from a small mansion when he visited privately in his incognito. After raising it, he became ambitious and wanted to swallow his master."
Jiang Tangzhou said: "I just can't figure it out, even if the relationship between the two of them is unusual, Emperor Ling Yu shouldn't trust him so much."
Yin Wenzheng glanced at Jiang Tangzhou with a half-smile, and lightly swiped the finger that was already on the back of his hand, hooking the other's palm and rubbing it back and forth, which seemed to be flirting.
Jiang Tangzhou frowned, covered the back of Yin Wenzheng's hand with his backhand, and stopped his movements: "Say."
"For one thing, the technique of bed curtain is acceptable." Yin Wenzheng raised his brows slightly, and said, "But more importantly, the old man has been pursuing the way of longevity for many years, and he seems to understand some of it. The combination of the two is natural. At once… "
Jiang Tangzhou didn't know how to react for a while.
Should it be said... desolation/prostitution, longevity harming the country
However, it also gave Yin Wenzheng a chance, because the situation in Beijing and China was extremely chaotic, Yin Wenzheng had the opportunity to seek a glimmer of life from the chaos.
