"What do you think?" The national master asked with his arms around the Empress Dowager's waist.
The Empress Dowager pushed him away and said unhappily, "we could have had a child. It's your fault that you don't care. Now we don't know whether the child is born or dead."
The national teacher thought of this and was a little annoyed: "Alas, yes, it's all my fault. I wish I hadn't sent the child so far at the beginning, but I found it later. I just couldn't find it."
"Hum, you are good. Anyway, without that child, you also have your own family background and children. I have an adopted son in my life."
"But your adopted son became the emperor." The national teacher said, "isn't this better than anything? You have become the most noble woman in the world. The whole harem will listen to you."
"It's not my own, but it's not my own."
"Shh, just say such words in front of me. Don't let outsiders hear them. They will be chewed by others."
The Empress Dowager is still not very happy.
The national master held her in his arms again: "look what I brought you."
"What?"
"It's said that it's from a tribe in Baoning city. Sheep horn comb is used to comb hair. The longer the hair, the better."
The Empress Dowager took the horn comb and seemed to feel better.
She only lay in the arms of the national teacher and said, "Alas, if the child is still there, I must take her to the palace and let her enjoy all her glory and wealth."
……
Daqi faces north.
Since Beiqing state captured Heihe village, Heihe village has become a hell on earth.
The people of Beiqing beat, smashed, robbed and burned here, raped and plundered, and ignored life.
Some refugees who survived fled to Linglong county.
Originally, they thought Linglong county was also the territory of the Daqi Dynasty. However, after escaping here, they found that the city gate was closed, and Linglong county did not let the refugees in.
The refugees wanted to rush in, but overnight, they suddenly sent heavy troops to guard here. The defense of refugees was more severe than that of beiqingguo.
This is also what the national teacher means.
Linglong county is the capital to the south. If Linglong county is lost, it will be dangerous and bear a heavy burden.
Once these refugees come in, granaries will be opened in Linglong county to help them. These granaries will not last for many days. The refugees will certainly rob the city and there will be chaos in the city.
Once there is chaos in Linglong County, more refugees will pour into the capital, and the Korean situation will be more unstable at that time.
The national teacher believed that since Heihe village had been lost, Beiqing should kill the country, and Daqi Dynasty should give up these refugees.
For a time, the people who escaped from Heihe village piled up in front of the city gate and cried bitterly.
One of them is Yan Ziyan, who is also one of these refugees.
He was not originally from Heihe village, but was entrusted by his friend to send a letter to Heihe village. As a result, shortly after he arrived in Heihe village, he met Beiqing country. He escorted his friend's parents to flee. Now he has just arrived in Linglong county.
These refugees have been hungry for several days. They thought that as long as they escaped, they would be safe in Linglong county. Who knows that Linglong county can't even fly in.
The refugees dared to be angry and speechless, one after another wailing about their hard situation.
But Yan Ziyan was angry.
He shouted at the bottom of the city gate, "is there any royal law in the world? These are the people of the Great Prayer Dynasty. The imperial court not only does not protect the safety of its own people, but now you are fleeing, and you are not allowed to enter the city. Is this going to starve us to death outside the city gate?"
As soon as he shouted, the refugees below shouted, "yes, can you give us a way to live?"
"Unexpectedly, we didn't die in the hands of those demons, but we had to die in the hands of our own people. You are all demons, and the emperor in the city is a faint king!"
“……”
At first, the officers and soldiers guarding the city were indifferent when they heard the refugees wailing. Now they were angry when they heard them scold the emperor.
One of the leading guards picked up a bow and arrow and shot at the refugee who had just scolded the emperor.
Right in the middle of his chest, the refugee immediately fell down, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and died before he could speak.
It's really grass mustard.
The people below did not dare to say anything at once. They all stared at the death of the refugee.
It's not that they haven't seen these dead people for so long, but they were the first to be killed by their own people.
They suddenly accepted their fate.
If they don't escape, they will die. If they escape, they will die. If they resist, they will die. They can only look up to heaven and hope that God's good deeds can give them a glimmer of vitality.
Yan Ziyan also looked at the dead refugee and clenched his fist tightly.
After a while, he suddenly shouted, "since Linglong city doesn't take us in, we won't go in. Come with me, I don't believe God won't give us a way to live."
The refugees stared at Yan Ziyan in amazement.
Behind is Heihe village. There are officers and soldiers of Beiqing state. Linglong County in front doesn't let them in. Where else can they go?
Yan Ziyan said, "anyway, sooner or later, you will die. Believe me, you will follow. If you don't believe me, you'll wait here!"
The refugees followed him wherever they would not go.
Thousands of refugees, old and young, male and female, all followed Yan Ziyan.
……
In fact, Yan Ziyan is not sure that he can take the refugees to escape.
Heihe village is behind and Linglong county is in front, so he can only go to the West.
There are high mountains in the west, one by one. There are all tigers and wild animals on them. If they go up, they may not have a way to live. Moreover, these refugees have been hungry for a long time.
But it's all dead. It's better to take a chance in the mountain.
The refugees followed Yan Ziyan for a while and knew that Yan Ziyan must want to take them to the mountains. They knew that the mountains were also bad, but now there was no way to go, so they had to go up the mountain.
When you get to the mountains, you may be eaten by wild animals, or you may starve to death because you can't find food.
Also, some people are dying and may not be able to get into the mountain at all.
However, Yan Ziyan seemed to have a natural leadership ability. After he issued the call, all the refugees followed him into the mountain. Some of them were dying, and they were carried by some who were still physically strong. They had to help them up the mountain.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city were puzzled.
Originally, the dark area below was slowly dispersed, and then moved to the West in twos and threes, slowly leaving the city gate.
"Where are they going?" Someone asked.
"Daxing mountain is in the West. You want to escape into the deep mountain."
"Hum, it's almost the same to escape inside and feed the tiger."
"Just run away, so that we won't be here all the time."
"Keep watching in case they suddenly come back."
“……”
……
I don't know if they are naive and have eyes. After Yan Ziyan led more than 1000 people up the mountain, they actually found a way to live.
This area is full of mountains. Occasionally, some villagers come up to cut firewood, and some medicine children come up to collect medicine. It has also been heard that there are big insects on the mountain, so no one will come up to the mountain if it's OK.
Not long after they went up the mountain, Yan Ziyan found a wild pear. The fruit of the pear was so heavy that the branch was almost bent.
Yan Ziyan and others were immediately excited. He knew kung fu again and immediately called several meetings to climb trees and pick wild fruits.
Although there are many people, it's enough for each person to share one.
Yan Ziyan said, you can't loot. Everyone has a share. Come in order. If anyone steals food, he won't have to eat.
Autumn pears have more water. Although they are not as sweet as those planted in fruit farmers, they can quench hunger and thirst. Some people eat them and swallow even the core.
After eating the pears, their physical strength was replenished, so they continued to go up the mountain to avoid being followed by officers and soldiers.
After walking up the mountain, Yan Ziyan found some other fruit trees one after another. Yan Ziyan picked them again and divided them with everyone.
The mountains here are connected one by one. They turn over a mountain and encounter another river. The river can quench their thirst. There are fish in the river and wild vegetables on both sides of the river. Some refugees have pots. Each pot is boiled with a fish and a bundle of wild vegetables, which can be divided into more than 20 bowls.
At first, there were people rushing to rob, but Yan Zijing ordered him to stop. He said that everyone was together. If everyone scrambled to eat, don't follow the big army and act on their own, waiting to be used as food by the wild animals on the mountain.
No one dares to rob now. Who dares to act alone in the mountains.
Yan Ziyan divided the refugees into several teams. Which teams were responsible for cutting wood, which teams were responsible for picking wild fruits and vegetables, and some of them were responsible for hunting.
There are a lot of game in the mountains. As long as you have skills, you don't have to worry about eating meat.
With the recuperation, the refugees gradually recovered their strength. They also built several rows of wooden houses at the foot of the mountain. Unexpectedly, life was slowly getting on like this.
……
Tianshan tribe.
Today, Qian Qi came.
Qian Qi came to see xiaobaoshan. The doctor Xiao has been here for so many days and has conditioned xiaobaoshan for two months. He must be well soon.
Xiaobaoshan is getting better, and most things can be remembered.
"General Xiao..." Qian Qisi's mind was complicated. He hated xiaobaoshan at first, and later admired xiaobaoshan very much. When he learned that he gave his life to protect his family, he was full of gratitude.
Xiao Baoshan has always been a light personality. First, he invited Qian Qi to sit in the yurt, and then asked Xiao Baozhu to take Xiao Xunzi out to play. Then he made milk tea for Qian Qi himself.
"I only have milk tea here. Is General Qian used to it?" Xiao Baoshan asked.
"Of course, we are all laymen and rough men. What's not used to drinking? Besides, it's milk tea, not raw water. Think about what we drink when we don't have water on the battlefield? Drinking human blood is just the enemy's."
Qian Qi then asked Xiao Baoshan, "by the way, do you remember things on the battlefield? I'll see you later, but you don't remember anything."
"I remember 7788." Xiaobao mountain road.
"Do you remember the four kings and my big brother?" Qian Qi asked again.
