Chapter 216

Although the sky is beautiful and the clouds are clear, but the hearts of the people are covered with dark clouds.

——It’s about Shangjing.

The influx of countless fleeing families in Shangjing made this already dangerous city even more crumbling, but they still had the last ray of hope and thought in their hearts, that is, Shangjing Jiancheng, guarded by Yongchi, may not be broken, but survive This year, in the winter, the siege must be solved.When the Han army returns to the north, Yongchi can take Huben to help them regain their lost homeland.

These days, the price of food in the capital has been skyrocketed, and the roadsides are full of hungry people who lost their homes and properties due to the war.

Who has food?Huben has military rations...but Huben will neither sell nor let go.In the past, it was okay for the poor to be hungry, but this time, a large number of nobles came here. Their number is several times that of the original families in the capital, not to mention there are many clansmen...

They have written letters many times through the mouth of the ministers, but they still have not received a clear answer from the court. Is the court going to watch them starve to death?

Chu Sikong went to the palace to visit his daughter, in fact, he wanted to find out what Yongchi was thinking.

Behind the bead curtain, Mrs. Chu was wearing the empress's fine attire, watched her father salute her, and invited him in to speak.

Chu Sikong said: "Uncle's family has also come to the capital. That miserable official does not want to stain your ears. The ancient thief is too cruel. Your cousin, who was so beautiful in the past, is not what he is now. Sigh... There is also a lack of attention in the family." Food, how did you think that the situation would be so bad before? Madam gave all the food in the house to the relatives who fled. Now the family has to support two hundred servants every day. It is really difficult... I just want to ask, the emperor... ...really unwilling to share food?"

Chu said: "If you don't want to, you really can't. You must always let Huben have no worries."

Chu Sikong said: "Forgive me for saying something disrespectful. Your majesty is putting the cart before the horse. The emperor's foundation lies in the Jingji family. The tiger is just the armor of the Jingji family's guards. Now the master is not full, but let the guards hoard food and grass , how can there be such a reason? I also ask the empress to persuade the emperor more..."

The Chu family sighed, and said: "Isn't it the reason? But the emperor has decided to fight the ancient thief to the death. I told him to go south, but he can't listen anymore."

After talking for a while, the Chu family ordered Chu Sikong to be sent away.She rested tiredly on the couch alone, she was too tired, when Yong Chi left Shangjing by himself, she was worried about Yong Chi day and night, looking forward to his return, and couldn't sleep at night.Now that Yongchi is back, but retreated into the city, how can she not be anxious?

Mrs. Chu was leaning on the soft couch, almost falling asleep, when suddenly she heard the whispering voice of a maid at the foot of the wall outside the window. take it in.

I saw the two rough envoy maids kneeling there timidly. The little eunuch stepped forward and slapped them two big ears: "What'Hanwang'? Ancient thief! Who sent you here?"

The two maidservants couldn't stop kowtowing: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I am wronged, this is not what we said, it was said by the girl in Dieyi from Miyue Tower..."

"Dirty mouth! Hit!" The little eunuch was about to continue beating, but Chu stopped.

"Continue talking, just say it." Chu said.

It turned out that when Yongchi was still a general, he had killed the three clans of Wang Da Sima, and the supervisor who was executed in Yingchuan was the brother of Wang Da Sima's clan.In recent years, Miyuelou's newly popular oiran is called Dieyi. It is said that her appearance is rare in the world, and she is unparalleled in beauty. Later, someone traced it and found out that this woman is the youngest daughter of Wang Da Sima.

The Chu family has been paying attention to these things, so it is not unheard of.

"That Dieyi, what did you say?"

The servant girl wept and flinched.

"The empress asked, why don't you tell me quickly?" the little eunuch shouted.

"These are just what the slaves just listened to, and I don't know if they can do it right...Na Dieyi said, she thinks the King of Han...ah no, the ancient thief is the first-class man in the world, she said, if she can With the ancient thief... spring... spring breeze once, she will die without regret."

Another servant girl also hurriedly said: "She...she also said...that the person she despises the most is...that is Mr. Qiu, who said that Mr. Qiu didn't follow the ancient thief to make meritorious deeds, but came to the capital and was arrested. It's just stupid To the point. She feels sick when she thinks that there are such stupid people in the world." In order to say a few more words, the little maid unconsciously exaggerated her words to make Chu feel that she was useful.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chu waved her hands: "They were all dragged down and beaten to death with sticks."

"Empress Empress! Empress Empress!"

The voice in front of her disappeared, Chu sneered, and said: "She still wants to watch the ancient thief enter the city? She is really courageous. She hates Qiu Mu. I want to be a matchmaker, so that someone can redeem her and send her to the city. Go to Qiu Mu's courtyard and get married today."

After Yong Chi left, Qiu Mu was sitting bored in the yard basking in the sun, rolling around, when suddenly the door creaked, Qiu Mu jumped up, rushed to the door and called, "Xiao Chi?"

But he saw that many people came in, and there was a sedan chair, and someone said: "Young Master Qiu, the empress sees that you live here alone and lonely, so I sent you a lady as a matchmaker."

As the sedan chair lifted the curtain, Qiu Mu only felt that the world turned pale in an instant, and a stunning beauty, Ping Ping, stepped out of the sedan chair.It seemed that someone wanted to help her, she said sharply: "Get out of the way!" Her body seemed to be still a girl, but she already had the coquettish and fierceness of a young woman.

Qiu Mu held his breath.

The girl was wearing a bright red long dress, like a blooming peony, but her expression was aloof and cold. She raised her head and walked into the yard alone, and then the door closed behind her.

Qiu Mu took a step forward, and asked cautiously, "Beauty, you...what's your name?"

The girl stood in the courtyard and gave Qiu Mu a glance: "Aren't you crazy? Can you still distinguish between beauty and ugliness?"

Qiu Mu chuckled: "Of course you can tell, Xiao Chi is beautiful, and you are also beautiful."

"Who is Xiao Chi?" The girl raised her eyebrows, "As beautiful as me?"

"Xiao Chi...Xiao Chi is Xiao Chi! Xiao Chi...that's right...Xiao Chi is the emperor." Qiu Mu clapped his hands.

The girl smiled coquettishly, she obviously had a beautiful face, but there was a sense of coldness and mockery in that smile.This kind of temperament makes her more unique and makes people unable to leave their eyes.

The girl said: "They asked me to marry you, thinking that I would not want to, but I agreed." She sneered, "I don't want to deal with those stupid pigs with fat brains anymore. I'd rather be a lunatic than you."

Qiu Mu smirked, ran to the door of the dilapidated small hall where he lived, and opened the door: "Beauty, sit inside."

The girl Shi Shi walked in the door, Qiu Mu closed the door from behind, and hugged her: "Beauty, beauty."

She asked: "Is it my beauty, or Xiao Chimei?"

Qiu Mu kissed her temples, hesitated for a moment, and said, "...it's still Xiao Chimei!"

She pushed Qiu Mu away, and said sharply: "Then don't touch me!" As she said that, her expression changed, and she said softly: "If you say that I am more beautiful than Xiao Chi, I will let you hug me. how?"

Qiu Mu took a step back and sat down on the ground: "I...I...I can't tell, Xiao Chi is indeed more beautiful than you."

She rushed over suddenly, sat on Qiu Mu's body roughly, grabbed Qiu Mu's front collar, and at some point in her hand, she was holding a thin gold hairpin, and was about to insert it into Qiu Mu's neck. The whole action is done in one go.A drop of Qiu Mu's tear slid down her face, she was stunned, and stopped her lowering hand.

Qiu Mu didn't realize that he escaped from death just now, so he murmured: "Beauty, even if you kill me, I can't tell you are more beautiful than Xiao Chi. You don't understand... I love Xiao Chi, I love him and I would do anything for him."

She stared at Qiu Mu, and the ferocious look in her eyes slowly disappeared. She inserted the gold hairpin into the cloud temple again, and said in a low voice: "So you are really crazy, you don't remember the hatred of killing your father and destroying your family. .”

"..."

She glanced at Qiu Mu again, and said, "You really love Xiao Chi so much?"

Qiu Mu nodded vigorously, she took off the earrings, and her onion-like fingers picked out a small bead from the intricately designed gold jade, handed it to Qiu Mu, and said: "This is the secret of my being loved by others, who will eat it?" If you eat this, you will be infatuated with the person who drugged you. Now I will give it to you, next time, you only need to give this to Xiao Chi, and he will not change his mind and will love you forever."

Qiu Mu opened his eyes wide, took it carefully, and hid it in his clothes: "Really? Beauty, you are so kind!"

The girl smiled innocently: "Don't call me a beauty, call me Dieyi."

"Dieyi!" Qiu Mu happily got up, hugged Dieyi in his arms, let her sit on his arm, and spun around.He didn't see the hatred that flashed before the girl closed her eyes, which was the medicine she left for herself to commit suicide.
