It is extremely difficult to advance construction under such extremely difficult circumstances, but no matter how difficult it is, we must always face the difficulties and take the first step. This is what Zelan gave us a fatal order.
The people in the city also knew that Zelan was the lord of the city and the princess of the town, and they were particularly hostile to her. Especially they didn't know that Zelan had wiped out the bandits in Langshan. They didn't believe it even if they heard about it. Who could believe an eight-year-old
Can your child kill the Langshan bandits?
The people here will never see anyone from the royal family in their lifetime, but now they can see that hatred pouring out, hating them for taking Ruodu City.
In the entire Ruodu City, there are not many literate people, only a hundred or so in total, and some even don't know how to do arithmetic. In such a closed city, hatred can easily be ignited.
Especially, there are people from the Jin Kingdom fanning the flames here.
Zelan could still go out for a walk at first, but later, when her hatred was ignited, she would be thrown stones whenever she went out. Fortunately, Hu Ming was worried about her safety and sent people to protect her, so she would not be injured.
Hammer was so angry that he began to scold those people, "If you want to hate it, then hate the royal family and the Qin family in the Northern Desert. They are belligerent and provoked the war. They wanted to invade the territory of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and they were defeated in the end before they ceded it.
If you are from the capital city, did you support the war in the first place?
If you support the war, what qualifications do you have to hate Beitang today?
That’s all your fault!”
The hammer was very powerful and the scolding was accurate. It really shocked the mob for a moment, but it only lasted for a moment. In an instant, the stone was thrown at the hammer, and the hammer ran away with its head in its arms.
Yes, these are a group of barbarians who cannot reason.
Hu Ming felt that continuing like this was not an option, so he advised Zelan to return to Beijing.
Zeelan naturally can't leave. If this end is not opened, it won't be open for ten years, and Ruodu City will continue to be like this.
Hu Ming had no choice but to strengthen her protection to avoid trouble.
He went to tell Miss Zhou and asked Miss Zhou to cheer up and not let the mob enter the house and harm the young master.
Miss Zhou didn't worry too much. Could the mob hurt the master?
Believe it or not, it turned him into a charcoal on the spot?
Seeing her perfunctory attitude, Hu Ming couldn't help but get angry again and quarreled with her for a while.
His temper was not so irritable in the past, but now he gets angry easily, mainly because he was forced by the mob. If the people in the capital were not the people of Beitang, he would really go on a killing spree.
They didn't allow Zeelan to go out, and Zeelan didn't want them to get too anxious and get angry, so he simply had some fun in the house.
Miss Zhou specially arranged for Kong Yan to play with her. Fortunately, the mansion was large and there was room for horse racing, riding and shooting, so Zelan was not bored.
"It's really strange. Why are there so many cockroaches and mice recently?"
The cook, Fatty, came down from the corridor and muttered something.
Kong Yan was playing on the swing with Zelan. When she heard this, she said, "I'll buy some insecticide later and come back to spread it. Don't scare the city lord."
"yes!"
The cook responded.
Zeelan smiled, she was not afraid of mice and cockroaches! The cook came back after buying the medicine, mixed it with the meat, and threw it in various corners.
But tomorrow, not a single dead mouse was found, but they were still seen running around. The cook was so angry that she killed two of them with a shovel. As soon as she threw the corpses out, another one ran over her feet.
However, the cook was so angry that she cursed and wanted to beat him.
"What's wrong?
I’m so anxious and pale-faced!”
Kong Yan asked.
"Miss Kong, this medicine doesn't work either. Instead, there are more and more rats, running around in panic."
The cook complained.
"Yeah?"
Kong Yan didn't see it either, but when she saw the mouse she threw into the haystack, she couldn't help but frowned, "Why did you throw it into the haystack?"
If the dog sees it, he will eat it."
She went into the kitchen to look for the fire tongs. As soon as she entered, she called out, "Snake, there's a snake in. Come and kill the snake quickly. Don't scare the city lord."
Several people went into the kitchen and after a lot of trouble, they caught three snakes. This is very rare. Although there are snakes in the garden, snakes usually don't go into the house. Why did they all get into the house?
Zelan heard the noise, walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Kong Yan hurriedly said: "City Lord, please go back to the house and don't come over. There is a snake."
"Did a snake come into the house?"
Zelan took a look and saw that it was a grass snake, not poisonous. "Yesterday the cook said there were a lot of rats running around, and today there are snakes scurrying everywhere. This is strange."
"Not weird, not weird!"
Kong Yan said, washed her hands and came over, "I will accompany you back to the house."
Zelan raised his head and looked at the horizon. It was still noon, and the sun was shining brightly and fiercely.
"Cook, have there been earthquakes in Ruodu City before?"
Zeelan turned to ask the cook.
The cook shook her head, "Earthquake?
Earthquake, right?
I haven’t seen it before, I haven’t seen it since I was so old... But I heard my grandfather say that he experienced an earthquake when he was a child, which was very terrible. The ground shook and the mountains collapsed, and all the houses collapsed, and many people died."
"Stop scaring the city lord. Just go about your business."
Seeing Zelan's silence, Kong Yan thought she was frightened and hurriedly drove the cook away.
After Zelan returned to the room, he summoned Little Phoenix.
Snakes, insects, rats, ants, and birds can sense earthquakes to a certain extent, especially the little phoenix, which is a spiritual bird.
Little Phoenix also seemed a little panicked, but she didn't know whether it was true or not, but she just felt like a disaster was coming.
"There won't be an earthquake, right?"
Zelan lay on the ground, listening to see if there was any sound of earthquakes coming from the ground. Her hearing was amazing. If there was an earthquake, there must be earthquakes.
She didn't hear it.
Maybe it was too slight, and I was afraid that by the time I heard it, the earthquake had already happened.
She had to stare at the sky to see if the birds were aware.
So, starting in the afternoon, Zeelan sat on the roof, looking up at the sky.
Miss Zhou thought she was bored, so she sighed and said to Kong Yan: "After all, the little city lord is only eight years old. There is no way to keep an eight-year-old child in the house all the time. How boring it is. How about taking her out for a walk after dark?
Let’s go!”
Kong Yan recalled the last time she was stoned and shook her head quickly: "I'm just afraid of danger. Why don't we send troops to suppress her tomorrow and then take her out?" There is no need to suppress it. The riots in the past two days are not serious, but the suppression has backlash.
Don't be afraid of the effect. Send a few more people to follow and call Hu Ming and Hammer. Can't so many people protect the little city lord?
Kong Yan then said: "Then I'll go find them and call a few more people. After dinner, we'll go out together."
"Okay, let's go!"
After Miss Zhou dismissed Kong Yan, she jumped up to the roof, sat next to Zelan, and said with a smile: "Master, I know you are bored. Let's go out for a walk after dinner later."
Zeelan held up his chin and looked at her, "Aren't you afraid of being stoned?"
"Don't be afraid, we will protect you, don't worry."
Zeelan was not worried that she would be injured, but that the person protecting her would be injured. She was about to refuse, but she wanted to go out and look at the rivers and mountains to see if she could find any abnormalities.
