Chapter 148 King Chu returns! When it rains blood!
""We can go to work in a steel factory, and the monthly salary is much better than our shabby place. There are also printing factories, briquette factories, machinery factories, etc...."
"The only jobs you can't find! Once there, everyone will be able to be self-reliant, even women will be able to work, earn money, and support themselves."
"I've brought the words to you. If you want to come with me, leave now and set off!"
The man roared again, waving his hands and walking towards the north.
Those people look at me and I look at you.
They are all people fleeing the famine nearby.
There was movement on their faces, confusion, and confusion.
Do you really want to leave your hometown and go to a strange and northern village?
For a moment, the crowd was a little confused, but no one moved.
but,
The next breath, a man walked out.
"Mom, I'll go! Many of us in Zhuangzi have gone to Chuhe Village. Brothers and sisters, we may not know what's going on in Chuhe Village, but we should all know what's going on in Chang'an."
"Over there in Chang'an, we just lived like animals, but in Chuhe Village! There is a chance in Chuhe Village that we can live like humans!"
"I'm going to Chuhe Village to try my best. I'm a bachelor and I'm afraid of a ball!
"
The man roared angrily and strode after him.
"Yes, yes, I heard that things are not much better over there in Chang'an. We can only survive by hand and not starve to death."
"Chuhe Village...I'm going, I'm going right now!"
"Fellow folks, I know that you may be very unfamiliar with Chuhe Village, and some of you have never heard of the name Chuhe Village, but I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed there, that's all!
"
"I'm taking the first step!
"
After the man said this, he quickly followed with his family and children.
As soon as these two words came out, in an instant, the people who were still a little confused started to follow him.
Of course, there are still many people left in the same place.
They don't know what to do.
Li Yan stood in the crowd and watched all this quietly.
This scene is really too violent!
No one would have thought of it.
Unexpected!
Chuhe Village is actually competing with Chang'an City for people!
"General, this... what should we do."
The guard was a little wobbly.
Li Yan exhaled and said melancholy: "People's lives will not be much better if they go to Chang'an, but they can live a better life if they go to Chuhe Village. Alas, this is also due to human nature."
"Let's go, let's go to Chuhe Village too."
"Go and see what kind of magical place this is! It deserves so much attention from the victims and His Majesty!"
"
Li Yan's eyes flickered.
He wanted to take a look, he wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on in Chuhe Village.
The group of guards looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
On the road.
Li Yan sighed again: "Why is this happening?"
"General, it's not your Majesty's fault. It's the people, and they don't trust the imperial court."
One of the guards comforted him.
"Distrust?" Li Yan shook his head, his helpless eyes revealed sadness, and continued: "This is not called distrust. People have to live."
"Chang'an is extremely far away, and there are many aristocratic families, so the difficulty is too high."
"I dare to ask, if someone wanted to starve you to death, what would you do?"
All the guards were speechless.
"It's the imperial court that feels sorry for them. If the imperial court can keep them fed, the people will definitely not leave their hometown."
"It is because of how aggrieved, helpless and helpless I feel that I choose to leave my hometown and go to a strange and northern village."
"And Chuhe Village, what kind of village is this?"
On the road.
They did not enter the town again, nor entered Zhuangzi,
Instead, go all the way north.
The direction to Chuhe Village cannot be found.
Because the further north you go, the more people there are in the Tang Dynasty, and these people all migrate to Chuhe Village.
When passing by these Datang towns and villages on the border, a few people truly realized what desolation is.
There is no one left.
Even the old people are gone.
All went to Chuhe Village!
Soon, he rode his horse and continued to move forward.
Go straight to the mysterious Chuhe Village.
What does Chuhe Village look like?
Li Yan and the guards were also extremely curious.
As I walked, a road appeared.
At the same time, Li Yan's eyes narrowed.
He saw it.
There is actually a flag in Chuhe Village!
The shape of the flag has a blood-like background. It is covered with stars, floating and dancing lightly in the wind.
Profound!
mystery!
Unite!
…….…….…….
Chuhe Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides.
One of the mountain peaks and the lush woods are being shrouded in the golden afterglow, as if covered with a golden golden net.
In one of the woods, there is a small courtyard.
In the courtyard, a black spear stood on the ground, and the red tassel was blowing in the wind, which was very beautiful.
Next to the black spear, Li Kuan, wearing Confucian robes, was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
The courtyard where Li Kuan was located was very quiet.
Until the next moment,
A voice broke the silence.
"Tap tap tap......"
Lu Lingqi's footsteps came from far away. When she came to Li Kuan's side, she said: "Your Highness, the golden cicada has successfully escaped from its shell. The third team also successfully came here from the secret passage in the snow mountain. There are still dozens of people left."
I'm wandering around the snowy mountains with Beidou Qixing and his men."
"It's just a lie now, but Mr. Liu estimates that they will wake up in a day or two."
Li Kuan slowly opened his eagle-like eyes.
"One or two days... Hahaha, it's enough to tease those old guys for a day or two."
"Lingqi, how is the preservation of the snow-capped mountains?!"
Snowy mountain things.
This is the most important result that King Chu led the team to search for in the past few days.
It was also after finding this thing in the snow-capped mountains that they came down the snow-capped mountains from the snow-capped mountains trail and returned to Chuhe Village.
Lu Lingqi was a little proud, held her head high and said with a smile: "Your Highness, everything is fine!"
When Li Kuan heard this, a smile appeared on his lips.
"By the way, Your Highness, there is one more thing."
Lu Lingqi walked towards King Chu and handed a letter in her hand to King Chu.
"Your Highness, the letter from Chang'an is from Princess Changle. This letter... is extremely urgent."
Changle?
When Li Kuan heard the name, he slowly stood up from his meditating state.
"Lingqi, bring it here."
Li Kuan said.
Lu Lingqi quickly handed the envelope in her hand to Li Kuan.
Li Kuan took it.
tear apart.
The words on the letter are still warm.
It can be seen that this letter was sent in a hurry, because the ink on it has not dried yet and there are adhesions in some places.
"The Taoist priest is still carrying a pen. This... Changle is really in trouble."
"Speaking of Changle, I wonder how Xiao Sizi is doing?"
Li Kuan couldn't help but smile softly, and subconsciously touched the jade pendant around his waist with his right hand.
Li Kuan was dressed in noble clothing, but the jade pendant was the ugliest. Even the most professional carver would not be able to carve that ugly dragon, but Li Kuan cherished it very much.
Just because it was carved by Xiao Sizi himself.
"Xiao Sizi, I'm really sorry that things here took so long."
Li Kuan sighed.
Next, he took a deep breath and read through the letter. His expression remained unchanged, but a cold light seemed to flash across his eyes.
"Your Highness, Chang'an City has been a bit busy recently. The Turks are here."
Lu Lingqi saw that Li Kuan had not spoken for a long time, so she spoke softly and continued: "According to the news from the Zhuque Academy, their Turkic prince wants to marry Her Highness the Princess, and Her Majesty has also agreed."
Li Kuan didn't even look back. He threw the letter in his hand casually. As if it had wings, it landed squarely in the middle of the stone table.
"This is what Changle said in his letter, marriage... I really don't know what my father thought, but he agreed without hesitation."
Li Kuan shook his head, quite helpless.
"Your Highness, let's...shall we go back? With Chi Tu Ma's ability, we will be able to arrive in a short time."
"When the time comes, how about... Lingqi replaces His Highness and kills those Turkic dogs?"
"They are just the dead souls shot by Lingqi!
"
Lu Lingqi shook the black spear in her hand that was one size smaller than Li Kuan.
Her marksmanship is very good.
It also ranks high among the entire King of Chu Group.
This marksmanship was awarded to Li Kuan by the system, so Li Kuan gave it to Lu Lingqi and let her learn it by herself.
Unexpectedly, he actually raised a teenage gun master.
"Go back? There's no rush. I have a few basic experiments that I haven't finished yet."
Li Kuan's eyes fell on the mountain in front.
From the outside, it looked unremarkable, just the most basic hilltop, but Li Kuan knew there was something inside.
There are tens of thousands of people busy.
Not to mention various other supplies.
These people were all common people from the Tang Dynasty who came to his village because they had no food nearby.
The original Chuhe Village was really just a village, but as more and more people join in these days, Yanran has a population trend similar to that of Chuhe City.
"Bring me a pen. It seems that I haven't written a letter to my family for a long time. Is it true that my father was scolded stupid a few days ago?"
"Besides, it's time to send the little fool a letter."
Lu Lingqi quickly came over with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Lay out rice paper.
Adjust and grind the ink well.
He handed the pen to Li Kuan.
"Speaking of which, Your Highness, they really like to eat our pork. Ahem... I'm a little greedy just by talking about it. Let's have pork rib soup for dinner, shall we?"
Lu Lingqi clicked her lips and drooled.
"good."
Li Kuan nodded, the tip of the pen touched the rice paper, and the pen moved smoothly, finishing in one go.
"Give this letter directly to Father."
Lu Lingqi quickly took the pen from Li Kuan's hand.
She carefully dried the letter and folded it.
Afterwards, he whistled softly, and an eagle flew straight down from the sky and landed in the center of the yard.
Lu Lingqi put the letter into the bamboo tube on the falcon's feet, rubbed its head, and blew lightly, and the falcon soared into the sky and disappeared.
"Your Highness, can you protect Princess Zhongquan with just one letter from you? Otherwise... Lingqi should let Mr. He and the others deal with it. There is no need for these Turks to go back."
Lu Lingqi said.
"enough."
Li Kuan stretched his waist, tightened his clothes, and said seriously: "But... there is really no need for them to go back. Where else do they want to go?"
When Lu Lingqi heard this, a smile appeared on her face that had always been cold.
"Yes, I guess that before they return to the Turks, the Turkic grasslands belong to the Tang Dynasty."
Li Kuan's expression remained unchanged, he closed his eyes and continued to meditate on the ground.
"Your Highness, please put on your cloak. It's getting cold at night."
Lu Lingqi gently covered Li Kuan with the cloak.
Just now she saw Li Kuan tightening his clothes, so she took out the cloak.
The air in the mountains is indeed a bit cool at night, and since this is the north, it will be even colder.
Summer seems to have passed.
Lu Lingqi gathered the spear in her hand and waved it violently, causing the air to burst and a sound to break through the air.
"When His Highness comes down from the mountain, the world... will change. I wonder if Lingqi's gun can still stain the young master's glory."
……..…….……….……
Chang'an.
Imperial College.
The sun sets and night falls.
Kong Yingda sat alone in the room, with only a bottle of wine in front of him.
"Make peace, make peace, make peace... Your Highness, Prince of Chu, I don't know where you are. Only you can stop this matter, hey..."
"I know it, and you will definitely not agree to it."
Kong Yingda sighed, poured a glass of turbid wine, and drank it alone.
Somewhat spicy.
Somewhat intense.
Kong Yingda coughed slightly.
But his hands didn't stop, he continued to fill it up, and he kept filling it up.
In the end, he fell to the ground and died of drunkenness.
"Chu...His Royal Highness King Chu, this matter...is only yours!"
"But...you...where are you? Where are you?"
Kong Yingda murmured and fell asleep.
He wanted to stop it, but he understood that even if he had a great reputation, he was still just a master and a scholar.
Even Zhang Sun Wuji, Du Ruhui and the others could not stop this matter. What could I do?
Kong Yingda knew in his heart that if there was any change, it would only happen to one person, King Li Kuan of Chu!
but!
His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not in Chang'an after all!
Now I can only place my hope on God to let His Highness the King of Chu know about this.
well…….
I am getting old after all, otherwise, I would definitely kill Turkic dogs with a sharp knife.
Not willing to give in.
Why should he, a Turk, marry me, the Princess of Tang Dynasty!
Kong Yingda was so unwilling that he fell asleep completely drunk.
….…….……….
The Li family of Longxi is in charge of the mansion.
The head of the Li family in Longxi, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Wei Ting, and Chai Lingwu are all here.
Jieli Lumen, Jieli Langya, and several more important people in the Turkic envoys all sat down.
The dancer is singing and dancing in the middle.
Lucky stood by and spoke softly.
Push the cup to change the cup.
Laughter mingled.
So unhappy.
"Hahaha... Your Highness, I don't know if His Highness is interested in everything here, so feel free to take it away!
"
The head of the Li family in Longxi pointed at a group of dancers and shouted loudly: "They will be honored to serve His Highness the Prince in this life. The Prince does not need to pity them!
