Mrs. Shen's complexion on the side of Shen's residence was a little dark. If a beautiful woman from the Western Regions came to someone's family for no reason, the host's wife would definitely be unhappy.Master Shen originally wanted to say a few words when he passed by, but after thinking about it, he gave up, but now that he was jealous of the situation, he really couldn't laugh or cry.The guards in the mansion led him to the secret room. An exotic woman with a bearded man and a little girl who looked only three or four years old were waiting for him. When they saw him coming, they saluted and sat down. Shen Deshun nodded: " He complied."

The few people were relatively speechless again, Shen Deshun looked up at the little girl, and smiled kindly: "She is the future clan order of the Wuheng Shui Clan, she looks really cute, does she not understand our words?"

The foreign-looking girl patted the little girl's head: "Her name is Wu Yuming, which means turquoise eyes. She really doesn't understand Chinese yet. I brought her to the Central Plains this time to let her meet the baby who is about to be born. cousin of..."

There is no need to repeat the following words. Before Gu Yunmeng and Gu Zhongxi set off for Kunwu City, Gu Lincheng had written a letter to her so that she could take care of the two brothers. When she received the letter, she felt something was wrong. When she heard from her brother, she hurried to Moyanyi with Wu Yuming, but it was a pity that the day she arrived, Beilu Academy had already been turned into scorched earth.All the way to Yong'an, and heard the news that the two brothers of the Gu family had died in Yuanzhou. At first, they wanted to go back to Kunwu with grief and indignation, but when they received a letter from the family order, they asked her to go to Beijing to look for Shen Deshun. When she arrived near Shen's house, she saw The people sent by the clan order were waiting for her with a turquoise dragon staff.

At that time, the Wuheng Shui tribe lost the dragon stick, and after going through untold hardships, they found his mausoleum 30 years after the death of King Yuyang and brought the dragon stick back to Kunwu for re-enshrining. It was sent to Gao Ke to answer Chen Jilong’s request for help from Gu Lincheng. Not long after the Wu Wang case happened, Gu Lincheng had a premonition that something big would happen, and Chen Jilong would bear the brunt of the accident. He asked Yunmeng and Zhongxi to go to Kunwu. The Wuheng Shui tribe used the dragon stick to wait for an opportunity to save Chen Jilong. He had figured out at that time that apart from Gao Ke, apart from the dragon stick, Chen Jilong had no chance of life.

The relationship between the Wuheng Shui clan and the Gu clan is quite deep, and I can't finish talking about it for a day or two. Most of the direct descendants of Beilu Academy know something about it. Shen Deshun married Chen Jilong and the people of Beilu Academy got along Recently, but I have never met Gu Lincheng at Beilu Academy. It is only a collateral. The emperor has always trusted him, and he has never participated in party struggles. This time Chen Jilong was imprisoned, but he was safe and sound. He knew in his heart that he was in a safe place. land.Wu Songzhu also understood this point, stood up immediately and gave a big gift: "Mr. Shen is a great kindness, we will remember it in our hearts."

Shen Deshun shook his head quite emotionally: "This is not a kindness. Apart from our in-law relationship, I admire his character even more. This bloody storm, King Wu is really... It's a pity, and the Gu family is an unreasonable disaster." Well, although I have never met Old Master Gu, I have always admired him for his character and knowledge. All the students in the world have learned a thing or two about his thoughts. I have also considered myself a student of Beilu these years. There is really nothing to say about such a small effort. , now I only hope that Gao Ke can keep his word and let Mr. Chen out as soon as possible."

On the way out of Shen's mansion, Wu Yuming blinked and pulled Wu Songzhu's sleeve, and said in words that passers-by could not understand: "Auntie, if the divine stick is intersected with people other than the tribe, King Dayu will not punish us Wu Songzhu." Is it the Hengshui tribe?" Wu Songzhu looked at her with a smile, and picked her up later: "King Dayu will bless his scepter to finally be in the hands of the person who should hold it, Xiao Minger, let's go again Mo Yanyi, kowtow to your little aunt and unborn cousin, shall we go back to Kunwu?" The child nodded with a hum, then tilted his head and looked at her aunt after thinking about it: "Auntie, why did you Said little aunt's child was not born yet, she was born, my little sister is very cute."

Wu Songzhu trembled all over, put the child on the ground, and looked at her seriously while squatting: "Did you see it? Ming'er, did you really see that your little aunt's child was born?" The little girl was serious again. He nodded, and later wept and lay down in Wu Songzhu's arms: "Little sister was burned, little aunt... little aunt..." As he spoke, he suddenly passed out in Wu Songzhu's arms.

Chapter 3 Chapter 3

In the year when the new emperor came to the throne, there was a severe drought in the southwest, and there were autumn locusts again. The next year was another severe drought, and the land was devastated for a while.

The disaster situation in Yuanzhou is still serious. Last year, the people ate free food. This year, they peeled the bark and ate weeds. The government’s disaster relief food has long since ceased to come. There was still a little bit of it before. Cooking porridge and disaster relief barely kept the people alive and dead in the city. audio.The gates of the big households in the city were closed tightly, and the family guards surrounded the house day and night. The government came forward to borrow and borrow again, but in the end they could not borrow any more.Most of Lu Zhizhou's hair turned gray overnight, and the disaster became more and more serious day by day, and the cracks in the fields could put a child's leg in.He and Zheng Liang joined forces with Yuanzhou's officials to write a memorial letter, but nothing could be heard. Can the imperial court really care about the life and death of the people of Yuanzhou?Now the weather is hot, no one picks up the hungry and bury them, they rot in broad daylight, the plague has risen, the people are fleeing famine in fear, the whole Yuanzhou is now like a dead city.

The gates of the city had long been unguarded, and the troops stationed in Yuanzhou were already too hungry to stand up, so they could only stay in the garrison to maintain their strength.If the enemy army attacked at this time, Yuanzhou, the important place in the southwest, could be captured without any effort.Holding the child in one hand and holding the torch in the other, Gu Zhongxi looked at the scene of the living and the dead mixing together on both sides of the city road, and couldn't help closing his eyes. He thought that the situation inside the city was better than outside the city, but he didn't know it was the same. People in the city still cook porridge without rice.Seeing someone crawling over to grab him, he quickly pulled out the sword from his waist: "Everyone! I pass by here, I don't want to kill any more, and I don't have any food on me. It's best for us not to disturb each other!" But someone was starving. Sensitive, he wanted to go up when he saw someone, but he really had no choice but to slash his sword away and run away.

He felt something was wrong when he got outside the gate of Zheng's mansion. Why was there not even a sound in the huge courtyard?There was no answer after knocking for a while, he pushed the door open and went in, even the candles were not lit in the dark night, but he keenly heard the people inside.When I arrived at the inner hall, I found a popular house and opened the door. A group of people inside were trembling with fright, shouting repeatedly, don’t eat me, don’t eat me...

It has only been more than three years since we last saw each other, but Zheng Liang seemed to be too old to form. He trembled for a long time before recovering, and hugged Gu Zhongxi, choked up and unable to speak, and the whole family cried together. group.The child brought by Gu Zhongxi was sitting on the stool, looking at the people in the room crying, with a confused expression on his face.

After listening to Zheng Liang's explanation of the cause and effect, Gu Zhongxi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, the parents and officials in Yizhou have lived like this, let alone the people outside.The entire Southwest was affected by the disaster, the imperial court must have insufficient relief food, or corrupt officials who were ignorant of human lives were corrupted here.Taking a step back, it is better to save yourself first than to wait for the relief food from the court.It is not that there are no available soldiers in Yuanzhou City. We organize these available people first, move those who are not infected with the plague to concentrated areas to isolate them, and then organize people to search for water and food.The imperial court will definitely not abandon Yuanzhou, and when the time comes, the two parties will join forces and they will be able to survive the disaster.You can't sit still and wait for death. As an official of a state, it is the most stupid way to stay here and wait for dawn.

The people of Yuanzhou found that Mr. Zheng Liang and Mr. Lu Zhizhou suddenly seemed to be different people. The words they said while standing on the city gate stabilized the people, and then the two officials began to organize their own rescue.Yuanzhou seemed to have a backbone, from top to bottom, suddenly united as one.Lu Zhizhou brought the officials up to ask for money and food, you didn't send it, did you?If you don’t send it, I’ll ask for it. I don’t care how big your official is and who is greedy. I can’t control it anymore. The people of Yuanzhou want to live!Mr. Zheng called on wealthy businessmen who hadn’t left to donate money and goods in the city. No matter how rich they are now, it’s not worth a full meal. The money and goods donated now will be rewarded by the government after the disaster year.

First, control the plague in the city, and then assign people to dig canals, divert mountains and rivers, and plant the earliest harvestable food in this season.This is not something that will be immediately effective, but everyone suddenly has a spirit, and there is a hope of being alive. This hope is too important, and it supports the bottom line in everyone's heart.

When Gu Zhongxi was resting, there would always be some teenagers around him looking for advice from him. While he was reassuring the teenagers, he had to look at the kids beside him, for fear that the child would stumble and stumble, and the child would not be able to speak. The lady was very distressed.Not only can the child not speak, but there is also an obvious scar on the left side of his face. When I asked Gu Zhongxi, he was able to reply with a smile: "It was burned. It was reborn from the ashes. It doesn't get in the way, it doesn't get in the way." The little lady on the side gave him a shy look : "It's okay for a boy baby, this is a girl baby, I will blame you when I grow up. Brother Gu, why don't you see her mother?"
