The Raiders of Quick Transmigration
Chapter 24 Imprisoned His Majesty the Emperor
At noon, the warm sunshine pierces through the dense clouds all day long, and falls on the dead branches covered with snow. As the saying goes, snow does not cool down and snow turns cold. Although it is rare to see the sun, the indoor and outdoor temperatures are lower than usual. It made people tremble, and when they opened their mouths, there was a cloud of white mist.
Lin Zhen had had enough tossing around, and took the opportunity to take advantage of Zheng Shunan, so she calmed down contentedly.
The Plague Village ate very little, and the wild vegetables and prey were eaten up by the hungry villagers earlier. Zheng Shunan set up several traps in the mountains, and finally caught a hare.
Zheng Shunan planned to use wild rabbits to make soup, and no one could bear to eat wild vegetables every day.Lin Zhen followed Zheng Shunan closely, looking at the hare with greed and hunger glistening in his eyes.
At this moment, a little girl in ragged clothes and a coarse cloth wrapped her face ran in. She was out of breath, and her expression was particularly anxious.
Lin Zhen calmly protected Zheng Shunan and took a half step back, staring at the little girl vigilantly. The little girl seemed to feel it, and she lowered her head and was extremely embarrassed. She was infected with the plague, and others always avoided it.
Zheng Shunan sighed, and said with a smile, "Lin Lin, what can I do for you?"
Lin Lin lives next door to Zheng Shunan. She is an orphan. She was picked up by her grandma and brought home. Neither she nor grandma ate rat meat. She is grandma's son. He was infected with the plague and passed it on to his grandma and grandson , Grandma Lin Lin is in a critical condition, she must be alive in a few days, Lin Lin herself is also, the pustules all over her body spread to her face, but she is wrapped tightly with coarse cloth, only revealing a pair of bright and clean eyes .
Lin Lin clung to the corners of her clothes in shame, her clear and sweet voice became hoarse, "Brother, grandma told me to tell you that the officers and soldiers will set fire to the village tomorrow, so you can make plans early."
Zheng Shunan frowned, "Burning the village, why?"
Lin Lin shook his head, "It was Uncle Chen who told grandma. He secretly heard the officers and soldiers say that everyone in the plague village would be burned to death so that the plague would disappear."
Zheng Shunan said coldly: "Stupid!"
Lin Lin brought the words to her, and quickly turned around and left. Although she was young, she was very sensitive because of the plague, and she didn't want to look at other people's sympathetic eyes.
Zheng Shunan immediately found Uncle Chen and learned the whole story from him.
It was because Yu Yangzhi, king of the Northern War, was going to pass through Plague Village when he returned from a trip.The county magistrate talked about the plague in fear, and Yu Yangzhi was worried about being infected, so he ordered the county magistrate to solve the plague as soon as possible.The magistrate had nothing to do, so he ordered the people in the plague village to be besieged in it, and set fire to it directly, so that the plague could be burned together.
There was no delay in burning the village. When Zheng Shunan removed the gauze for Lin Zhen, several county government servants were already carrying kerosene and firewood, and they piled up a hill directly outside the village.
Zheng Shunan returned to the hut after thinking about it, and found that Lin Zhen had already cooked the hare. Rabbit meat without seasoning was naturally not very delicious, but the two of them hadn't eaten meat for several days, and they felt hungry when they saw this pot of rabbit meat.
It's hard for Lin Zhen to hold back a bite and insist on waiting until he comes back.
Zheng Shunan put aside his troubles, and planned to have a full meal first, before thinking about the issue of survival later.They are now confined to the Plague Village where their eyes and ears are closed, and all they can hear is news within a radius of a dozen miles.
Zheng Shunan originally planned to wait and see what happened, and make plans after the guards and the Cang Ming Army found him, but now that the arrow is on the line, if he doesn't think of a good countermeasure, he may have to be burned to death in the Plague Village tomorrow.
Lin Zhen didn't care much and said, "I'm the emperor, and Yu Yangzhi is just a prince of the opposite sex who is enshrined. How dare he kill me?"
Zheng Shunan thought that Yu Yang knew that he probably had the intention to kill you, but after being reminded by Lin Zhen's words, he suddenly thought of a good countermeasure.Immediately patted Lin Zhen on the shoulder rewardingly, and said with a smile: "You really reminded me, don't worry, I have thought of a good way."
Lin Zhen shook her head heartlessly, "I'm not worried, Yu Qing is so good, she will be fine." Then she smiled comfortably, "Yu Qing looks so pretty when she smiles, don't frown all the time, I will help you Yes, I will give you whatever you want."
Zheng Shunan stuffed a piece of rabbit meat into his mouth. At this moment, he suddenly missed Lin Zhen's real body. At least that person's IQ has not dropped, so there is no need to make him rack his brains here.
In the early morning of the next day, the county magistrate came to Plague Village in person, accompanied by the county lieutenant, master, and dozens of yamen servants and arresters.
The road leading to the outside of the village was separated by wooden stakes, and the villagers stood together with support, some shouted for injustice, some begged for mercy, some scolded the county magistrate, and some cruel and terrifying men full of pustules fought desperately to try He rushed to the outside of the village, but he was shot through the heart by a long arrow that pierced through the air before he could touch the stake, and fell to the ground and died.
The county magistrate wears an official uniform, covers his mouth and nose with a cloth, and stays far away from the villagers, lest he be infected with a bad disease.
He coughed hard, and put on airs: "The plague is rampant right now, and I am deeply touched by your pain, and I feel particularly sad," he said, wiping away his tears, "The plague is a disaster from heaven, and my heart is deeply concerned." People, I wish I could bear the suffering for you, but—”
As he spoke, he changed his voice and stopped pretending to be merciful, "Why did the plague find you, because you are guilty, and I am here to end the suffering for you, so you will be forgiven by heaven!"
Grandma was so ill that she could only collapse on the ground. She had a stench all over her body, and her arms and neck were covered with pustules. There was hardly a piece of good meat. The sticky yellow pus looked extremely disgusting and disgusting.Lin Lin knelt on the ground, resting her grandma's head on her lap, pinching a torn cloth to wipe the pus out of her, the pus was burst, and the pus flowed out like water, and the bulging skin shriveled instantly. Like dispensable waste skin on the face.
Lin Lin never complained, she knew that grandma would die, and she knew that she would die, she just wanted to be with grandma for a while before she died, if she was going to die here later, she would have no fear at all with grandma by her side of.
Lin Lin was ready to wait for death, the arresters in front of the stake were all drawn to their bowstrings, as long as they let go of their hands a little bit, they would all be killed, leaving no one behind.
The servant raised the sedan chair curtain, and the county magistrate turned around and was about to leave without looking back.The master brushed off his slightly wrinkled robe, and winked at the policeman who drew his bowstring, a cold light flashed through the narrow eye slits.
Lin Lin was young, so she was still scared. She curled up tightly in her grandma's arms, her eyes closed tightly.Just when she thought she was going to die, she suddenly heard a loud and familiar voice.
"stop--"
Lin Lin opened her eyes cautiously, and saw that fierce big brother running out from nowhere, he was still wearing plain robes, the robes clearly showed traces of mending, his figure was tall and straight, his back straight, like a proudly standing pine and cypress, Full of tenacity and indestructible momentum.
Zheng Shunan kept a close eye on Lin Zhen, fearing that he would lose the chain at the critical moment. Just a dozen seconds ago, Lin Zhen was still indifferent.
The county magistrate hadn't gotten into the sedan chair yet, so he turned his head and looked over curiously.The master frowned and shouted arrogantly, "Bold, who are you? How dare you obstruct the official mission!"
Lin Zhen kept a stern face, imitating what Zheng Shunan taught him, and sternly said: "Presumptuous, how dare a mere seventh-rank magistrate be so careless about human life, do you still have an imperial court and an emperor in your eyes?"
The master was astonished, and then burst out laughing, "Hahaha, what a joke! Here the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the king of the Northern War is our sky. Even if the emperor comes, it won't work."
"Really?" Lin Zhen sneered, "I didn't know that the Northern Warlord was so daring. If I hadn't visited in disguise, I wouldn't have been ridden on my head by him."
The master was astonished, and looked at Lin Zhen cautiously, not daring to utter nonsense anymore, and turned to the county magistrate who hadn't left yet.
The county magistrate cast a contemptuous glance at Lin Zhen, and said sarcastically, "Bah! Just you, the emperor? You don't look for a mirror to look at yourself. If you are the emperor, then I am the emperor's father. What the hell, the emperor these days It’s so worthless, anyone can impersonate it.”
Lin Zhen's strong tone suddenly dissipated, and she said angrily, "Shut up, the royal majesty won't allow you to make irresponsible remarks!"
The county magistrate said: "The army is in turmoil these years. I heard that the emperor led the army to fight with the barbarians. Maybe we have to change to a new master. Who knows for sure."
"You—you dare to slander me openly, because you think your head is too heavy, so you don't want it anymore?!"
"Crazy, talking nonsense, what do you know," the county magistrate waved impatiently, "Don't talk to him, shoot the arrow!"
Lin Zhen straightened her back and stood stubbornly in front, refusing to take half a step back, but turned her head to look at Zheng Shunan guiltily, feeling extremely disappointed and sad because she did not complete what the other party had told her.
Zheng Shunan's heart sank instantly, and he sighed regretfully. He leaned over to Lin Lin's ear and said a few words, and then suddenly stepped forward and said loudly: "Master Yang doesn't believe what he said? The emperor has indeed led the army to Mucheng. But now that the pastoral city has been won, the emperor went downstream along the moat, firstly to observe the sentiments of the people, secondly, the emperor had not seen Master Yu for a long time, and missed him very much. The fortune-telling guards found out the situation, but unexpectedly encountered a group of robbers, the guards were defeated and died, the emperor was seriously injured, and was carried into the plague village by people who didn't know the truth, and he was still unable to leave."
The county magistrate said, "Who are you?"
Zheng Shunan said: "Zheng Shunan, the third-rank bodyguard in front of the imperial court."
The county magistrate fell into deep thought, as if he was considering how to proceed. After all, Zheng Shunan spoke clearly, and ordinary people would not know that the emperor had arrived in Mucheng and the news of the great victory in Mucheng.
Zheng Shunan was nervous, but he had no idea. At this moment, several bowstrings were aimed at him and Lin Zhen. If there was any mistake, they would be shot full of holes.
Zheng Shunan tried his best to keep calm and said: "If Lord Yang doesn't believe you, you can send someone to find out your identity. If you accidentally hurt the emperor, can you bear the charge of killing the king?"
The county magistrate didn't speak, and called the master to discuss countermeasures. The two whispered for a long time. The county magistrate was helped by the servants to get off the soft sedan and stopped within a few steps of the wooden pile.
"What Mr. Zheng said is very true. The subordinate officials are confused," the county magistrate sighed, "I ask the emperor to forgive me for the offense. The subordinate officials also obeyed orders. The subordinate officials did not know about the emperor's private visit. crime……"
Zheng Shunan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to interrupt the county magistrate's long speech, when Lin Zhen beside him suddenly sneered, and said coldly: "Yu Yang knows that he is covering the sky with his hands, is he planning to rebel? Master Yang, rebellion is worth a thousand dollars." The serious crime of cutting and implicating the nine clans, you really think your head is too heavy, so you don't want it anymore?"
The words were exactly the same as before, but Lin Zhen said it now, but with an indescribable sense of oppression.Lin Zhen raised her head slightly, and squinted at the county magistrate, carrying a chill of contempt and indifference.
The county magistrate's face froze suddenly, obviously before the identities of the two were found out, he was extremely angry at being so humiliated.
Zheng Shunan lowered his voice and said, "What are you doing?"
Lin Zhen suddenly turned her head to look at Zheng Shunan, and immediately blocked all Zheng Shunan's words back into her throat. She saw Lin Zhen's expression was serious, her face sinking like water, her sharp black pupils were covered by black, and there was no trace of faint red.
Lin Zhen continued to say coldly: "As a county magistrate, you don't seek the well-being of the people, but disregard people's lives and harm countless people. You are really incompetent as an official..."
Zheng Shunan frowned, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Then he saw Lin Zhen jumping over the stake and heading straight for the potbellied county magistrate. Quickly ordered the police to shoot and kill Lin Zhen, but Lin Zhen was extremely fast, and avoided the bow and arrow after a few dodges.
Lin Zhen quickly pulled out the long sword around the policeman's waist like lightning, and hid behind the county magistrate like a ghost. It touched the county magistrate's neck, and the scarlet warm blood sprayed out, and several servants ran away screaming in fright.
Lin Zhen stared at the county magistrate's body expressionlessly, not afraid of the arresters who drew their bowstrings, and said cheerfully: "Deceive the king and commit crimes, death is not a pity."
Seeing that the county magistrate was dead, the yamen servants and arresters turned their bows and arrows at the plagued villagers. The master was shaking like chaff, his face was as pale as paper, and he wanted to sneak away from one side. He was just a master hired by the yamen. There's no need to risk your life to go in.
The head-catching sword pointed directly at the master, turned to Lin Zhen and said neither humble nor overbearing: "The official Ouyang Yi is the head arrester of the Wencang County Government. Although Mr. Yang is not a clean official, as an official ordered by the court, he should be punished according to the law. The two of you will come back to the Yamen with me, if your identities are true, Ouyang Yi is willing to bear the responsibility, otherwise don't blame the officials for being cruel."
Naturally, Lin Zhen didn't care about the life and death of the common people. Just as he wanted to ask Ouyang Yi to be free, Zheng Shunan held down his shoulders. He frowned and looked at Shi Yuqing impatiently, and heard Shi Yuqing calmly say: "Don't shoot the arrow, we will follow you!" you go."
Lin Zhen was furious, "How dare you make your own claims!"
Zheng Shunan reminded in a low voice, "Don't forget who saved you."
Lin Zhen and Zheng Shunan were tied hands and feet and sent directly to the county government prison.Entering the prison, a rotten and dull smell came to the face. There were endless screams and begging for mercy in the prison. The crying was hoarse and tragic, and it was more lively than the vegetable market.
Lin Zhen was pushed into the prison and staggered slightly. He turned his head and stared fiercely at the other person, as if he was about to swallow him alive. That person was also worthless, but he was frightened by Lin Zhen and complained in a low voice. But he didn't dare to move any more.
Zheng Shunan looked around and looked at the cell, feeling a little headache, lest Lin Zhen would think this or that again.The treatment in this cell is really terrible. The floor is uneven bluestone slabs, two hardwood boards are placed in the corner, and the dark quilt smells so bad that it has not been washed for several years.There is a toilet in the corner on the other side, and there is still urine in the bucket, which exudes a strong stench, which is disgusting and makes people want to vomit.
Zheng Shunan covered his nose with his hands, and as expected, he saw Lin Zhen's face darker than the bottom of the pot, with a fierce and violent aura of oppression.
"Come here!" Lin Zhen kicked the prison door furiously, but the wooden door frame was very strong, and it only trembled a few times, "Get out of here! Otherwise, I'll kill you dogs!"
"It's unreasonable, let us out quickly!"
"Okay! Pretending to be dumb, right? Alright, I'll remember, none of them will be able to escape in the future!"
After Lin Zhen finished speaking the last sentence, she found a slightly clean wall, leaned her back against it, closed her eyes and rested with her back suppressing her anger.He crossed his arms to his chest, his legs were stretched straight, and the air was full of stench and rotten smell, which disturbed him and made him unable to calm down. It was a hundred times worse than a bloody battlefield.
Zheng Shunan reluctantly sat on the hard wooden plank, only feeling the pain in his buttocks from the hard wooden plank, and felt a little regretful at this moment. If he had known that he would be locked up in such a bad place, he would have arrested him without saying a word.
Zheng Shunan admitted his mistake very well, "I made a mistake."
Lin Zhen frowned and remained silent.
Zheng Shunan said again: "The villagers are innocent. You can't kill them in vain. If the head arrester dares not kill us, he will definitely report the matter to Yu Yang."
Lin Zhen said coldly, "You expect Yu Yang to send us back to Beijing?"
Zheng Shunan sighed a little, thinking that Lin Zhen had changed his personality, and his IQ was finally online together, and somehow he missed the innocent, lively, messy second personality.
Zheng Shunan said: "I have told Lin Lin the secret language. Once she leaves Plague Village, she will find a way to contact the army."
Lin Zhen was puzzled, "Lin Lin?"
"A little girl, her grandma should be dead. If she can find someone from the army, we should find a way to cure her of the plague."
Lin Zhen frowned even deeper, "The plague is contagious, what if she infects the army? Shi Yuqing, is this the way you came up with?"
Zheng Shunan lost his temper as he spoke, "Aside from using the plague villagers as human shields, what better way can you do?"
"Plague patients, you have already stepped into hell with one foot. If you don't die now, you will die sooner or later. I underestimated your compassionate mind. You can't protect yourself, and you still want to save others?"
Anger welled up in Zheng Shunan's eyes, and he said in a serious voice, "Lin Zhen, this is your country. As a king, you should be sympathetic to the people and seek benefits for the people. If you can't be the emperor, you might as well abdicate and let the virtuous!"
Lin Zhen suddenly turned her head and stared at Zheng Shunan, her pupils shrank suddenly, and the corners of her mouth curled into a dangerous arc. After a while, she said coldly, "Shi Yuqing, I don't need you to teach me how to be an emperor, so what if you know how to be sympathetic to the people. It’s not like being a king of subjugation, only the weak will have kind thoughts in their hearts, and the necessary sacrifices are worthwhile in order to seek great plans.”
Zheng Shunan stared at Lin Zhen. He actually didn't want to quarrel with Lin Zhen, but Lin Zhen could always find a way to make him angry, and she was not at all cute as a second personality.Zheng Shunan's head is in a mess. It stands to reason that the main personality and the second personality are the same person. Why are there such big differences in their personalities?Or is it that Lin Zhen still has Shi Yuqing in her heart, but she suppressed it desperately because of hatred, and gradually developed a new personality that trusts Shi Yuqing in every possible way.
If Lin Zhen is willing to face up to his feelings for Shi Yuqing, will the second personality disappear naturally?
Zheng Shunan was so angry that his stomach was full of anger, and Lin Zhen was extremely irritable. He found that his memory was very messy, and his head was aching, as if he was about to be burst by countless things.Ever since he jumped into the moat, Lin Zhen was forced to live in a vast expanse of whiteness. He could neither see nor hear anything.Later, I heard someone talking, the voice was very familiar, but what he said was strongly resisted, so Lin Zhen refuted the other party sharply.
There was a vague guess in Lin Zhen's mind that that person was actually himself, who somehow occupied his body, and that's why he didn't have the memory of the past few days. Now that he has snatched back his body, he has control over it.
This discovery upset Lin Zhen, who has a strong desire for control. If he could, he would kill the other party resolutely and cleanly, but Lin Zhen couldn't. He didn't know why another self appeared, and he couldn't find a way to meet that person , when will that person appear, and how much impact will it have on his great cause?
Everything is unknown, Lin Zhen hates the unknown, and the extreme irritability in his heart makes him want to kill to vent, but at this moment there are only him and Shi Yuqing, although Lin Zhen still hates Shi Yuqing, but he is not willing to let Shi Yuqing Died so easily.
Lin Zhen suddenly thought of Shi Yuqing who jumped into the moat resolutely, and Shi Yuqing fearlessly entered the plague village that night, and found him who was thrown on the grave to fend for himself, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Shi Yuqing can die for him now, why did he betray him in the first place?
Does Shi Yuqing know how sad and desperate he felt when he learned that he was going to get married, and when he almost died after being hunted down by him. He thought that in this world, except for his mother and concubine, no one thought about him after all. Looking at him, even Shi Yuqing, whom he wanted to grow old with, died completely from that moment.
But death is death, why should it be revived now?
Lin Zhen turned her head to look at Shi Yuqing who was lying curled up on the hard wooden board. His hands were tightly wrapped around his shoulders, but he was still shaking because of the cold. Lin Zhen could even clearly hear the shivering sound of Shi Yuqing's teeth.
Shi Yuqing was a wealthy man, she had never experienced hardships since she was a child, and she was extremely afraid of the cold, so every winter she would wrap herself in a very thick fox fur cloak, or hide in bed and would not get up.It's freezing cold today, maybe it's snowing outside again, and the quilt smells so dark, not to mention Shi Yuqing dislikes it, even Lin Zhen dare not use it, who knows if there is an infectious disease or something like that.
Shi Yuqing must be extremely cold now, there is no quilt, no charcoal fire, no hand stove, how should he spend this long and cold night.
A sense of revenge suddenly surged in Lin Zhen's heart, and it was fleeting, and the sight of Shi Yuqing's thin and thin back became more and more complicated and unpredictable.
Shi Yuqing had indeed changed. Before she was betrayed, Lin Zhen knew that Shi Yuqing was selfish and cunning. He was a typical egoist, and he was better at lying and deceiving others. I didn't take it to heart.
Today's Shi Yuqing is like a reborn man, and treats him very well from the beginning to the end. Lin Zhen can't deny that when he saw Shi Yuqing at the grave that night, he was like a candle that was about to burn out. Lin Zhen thought he was going to die , in fact, if Shi Yuqing hadn't saved him that night, Lin Zhen would be dead by now.
He owed Shi Yuqing his life.
Lin Zhen leaned her back against the wall and did not move for a long time, like a silent statue in dead silence.The cell was gloomy, and the yellowed candlelight reflected a faint light, permeating the gloomy atmosphere.
The candlelight outside the prison suddenly jumped, and Zheng Shunan turned over anxiously, as if his whole body was going to be frozen.Lin Zhen finally walked towards the plank bed. Most of his body was numb, and it hurt like a needle prick when he moved a little.
Lin Zhen unbuttoned the coat, and the cold wind pierced through the thin coat, causing pain to the bones.He turned Zheng Shunan's body, pushed his tightly bound hands away, and went to unbutton Zheng Shunan's cotton coat without any explanation.
Zheng Shunan was so cold that his teeth were chattering. He felt in a daze that someone was ripping off his clothes. The temperature was getting colder and colder. He couldn't help waking up. When he saw Lin Zhen, he woke up immediately and said angrily, "Lin Zhen, are you crazy! What time is this, you are still fucking in heat!"
Lin Zhen's face sank like water, and she continued to take off without saying a word, ignoring Zheng Shunan's resistance. After unbuttoning the cotton coat, Lin Zhen indifferently wrapped Zheng Shunan's waist and pulled him closer to him. The two hugged tightly to keep warm. The ventilated place can be covered with a cotton coat.
Zheng Shunan thought Lin Zhen was in heat at first, but he was hugged by Lin Zhen, and the other party didn't do anything else.Both of them were very cold, but when they touched each other, a sense of warmth gradually rose. Zheng Shunan raised his vigilance, and found that Lin Zhen's posture was relaxed, and his breathing was long, and he gradually relaxed.
The chill is still severe, but it feels much warmer and more comfortable because of the heat transfer.
Zheng Shunan was a bit puzzled by Lin Zhen. He was confronting him just now. Why did he suddenly change his attitude and think of using his body to keep warm?Lin Zhen is in good physical condition, so she probably did this because she was worried about Shi Yuqing.
Hugging each other tightly, Zheng Shunan found it difficult to fall asleep, and he didn't dare to turn over wantonly because of Lin Zhen.Who knows that Lin Zhen didn't fall asleep either, and suddenly asked in a low voice with a complicated expression in the dark night: "Why did you save me?"
Zheng Shunan adjusted his posture and replaced the head that was originally pressed by Lin Zhen on the chest with a pillow on the opponent's arm. Cold as hell.
Zheng Shunan thought for a while, "I said, I hope you can live well."
Lin Zhen laughed dumbfounded, and said sarcastically and absurdly: "Shi Yuqing, since you want me to live well, why did you betray me in the first place, and I almost died at your hands! Now that you have realized your conscience, do you want to make up for me again? Or you Do you have other plans, want me to fall into your trap, and be harmed by you forever?"
After Lin Zhen finished speaking without the slightest emotion, her mood was not as relaxed as imagined, but rather heavy, as if she was vaguely expecting something.
Lin Zhen had had enough tossing around, and took the opportunity to take advantage of Zheng Shunan, so she calmed down contentedly.
The Plague Village ate very little, and the wild vegetables and prey were eaten up by the hungry villagers earlier. Zheng Shunan set up several traps in the mountains, and finally caught a hare.
Zheng Shunan planned to use wild rabbits to make soup, and no one could bear to eat wild vegetables every day.Lin Zhen followed Zheng Shunan closely, looking at the hare with greed and hunger glistening in his eyes.
At this moment, a little girl in ragged clothes and a coarse cloth wrapped her face ran in. She was out of breath, and her expression was particularly anxious.
Lin Zhen calmly protected Zheng Shunan and took a half step back, staring at the little girl vigilantly. The little girl seemed to feel it, and she lowered her head and was extremely embarrassed. She was infected with the plague, and others always avoided it.
Zheng Shunan sighed, and said with a smile, "Lin Lin, what can I do for you?"
Lin Lin lives next door to Zheng Shunan. She is an orphan. She was picked up by her grandma and brought home. Neither she nor grandma ate rat meat. She is grandma's son. He was infected with the plague and passed it on to his grandma and grandson , Grandma Lin Lin is in a critical condition, she must be alive in a few days, Lin Lin herself is also, the pustules all over her body spread to her face, but she is wrapped tightly with coarse cloth, only revealing a pair of bright and clean eyes .
Lin Lin clung to the corners of her clothes in shame, her clear and sweet voice became hoarse, "Brother, grandma told me to tell you that the officers and soldiers will set fire to the village tomorrow, so you can make plans early."
Zheng Shunan frowned, "Burning the village, why?"
Lin Lin shook his head, "It was Uncle Chen who told grandma. He secretly heard the officers and soldiers say that everyone in the plague village would be burned to death so that the plague would disappear."
Zheng Shunan said coldly: "Stupid!"
Lin Lin brought the words to her, and quickly turned around and left. Although she was young, she was very sensitive because of the plague, and she didn't want to look at other people's sympathetic eyes.
Zheng Shunan immediately found Uncle Chen and learned the whole story from him.
It was because Yu Yangzhi, king of the Northern War, was going to pass through Plague Village when he returned from a trip.The county magistrate talked about the plague in fear, and Yu Yangzhi was worried about being infected, so he ordered the county magistrate to solve the plague as soon as possible.The magistrate had nothing to do, so he ordered the people in the plague village to be besieged in it, and set fire to it directly, so that the plague could be burned together.
There was no delay in burning the village. When Zheng Shunan removed the gauze for Lin Zhen, several county government servants were already carrying kerosene and firewood, and they piled up a hill directly outside the village.
Zheng Shunan returned to the hut after thinking about it, and found that Lin Zhen had already cooked the hare. Rabbit meat without seasoning was naturally not very delicious, but the two of them hadn't eaten meat for several days, and they felt hungry when they saw this pot of rabbit meat.
It's hard for Lin Zhen to hold back a bite and insist on waiting until he comes back.
Zheng Shunan put aside his troubles, and planned to have a full meal first, before thinking about the issue of survival later.They are now confined to the Plague Village where their eyes and ears are closed, and all they can hear is news within a radius of a dozen miles.
Zheng Shunan originally planned to wait and see what happened, and make plans after the guards and the Cang Ming Army found him, but now that the arrow is on the line, if he doesn't think of a good countermeasure, he may have to be burned to death in the Plague Village tomorrow.
Lin Zhen didn't care much and said, "I'm the emperor, and Yu Yangzhi is just a prince of the opposite sex who is enshrined. How dare he kill me?"
Zheng Shunan thought that Yu Yang knew that he probably had the intention to kill you, but after being reminded by Lin Zhen's words, he suddenly thought of a good countermeasure.Immediately patted Lin Zhen on the shoulder rewardingly, and said with a smile: "You really reminded me, don't worry, I have thought of a good way."
Lin Zhen shook her head heartlessly, "I'm not worried, Yu Qing is so good, she will be fine." Then she smiled comfortably, "Yu Qing looks so pretty when she smiles, don't frown all the time, I will help you Yes, I will give you whatever you want."
Zheng Shunan stuffed a piece of rabbit meat into his mouth. At this moment, he suddenly missed Lin Zhen's real body. At least that person's IQ has not dropped, so there is no need to make him rack his brains here.
In the early morning of the next day, the county magistrate came to Plague Village in person, accompanied by the county lieutenant, master, and dozens of yamen servants and arresters.
The road leading to the outside of the village was separated by wooden stakes, and the villagers stood together with support, some shouted for injustice, some begged for mercy, some scolded the county magistrate, and some cruel and terrifying men full of pustules fought desperately to try He rushed to the outside of the village, but he was shot through the heart by a long arrow that pierced through the air before he could touch the stake, and fell to the ground and died.
The county magistrate wears an official uniform, covers his mouth and nose with a cloth, and stays far away from the villagers, lest he be infected with a bad disease.
He coughed hard, and put on airs: "The plague is rampant right now, and I am deeply touched by your pain, and I feel particularly sad," he said, wiping away his tears, "The plague is a disaster from heaven, and my heart is deeply concerned." People, I wish I could bear the suffering for you, but—”
As he spoke, he changed his voice and stopped pretending to be merciful, "Why did the plague find you, because you are guilty, and I am here to end the suffering for you, so you will be forgiven by heaven!"
Grandma was so ill that she could only collapse on the ground. She had a stench all over her body, and her arms and neck were covered with pustules. There was hardly a piece of good meat. The sticky yellow pus looked extremely disgusting and disgusting.Lin Lin knelt on the ground, resting her grandma's head on her lap, pinching a torn cloth to wipe the pus out of her, the pus was burst, and the pus flowed out like water, and the bulging skin shriveled instantly. Like dispensable waste skin on the face.
Lin Lin never complained, she knew that grandma would die, and she knew that she would die, she just wanted to be with grandma for a while before she died, if she was going to die here later, she would have no fear at all with grandma by her side of.
Lin Lin was ready to wait for death, the arresters in front of the stake were all drawn to their bowstrings, as long as they let go of their hands a little bit, they would all be killed, leaving no one behind.
The servant raised the sedan chair curtain, and the county magistrate turned around and was about to leave without looking back.The master brushed off his slightly wrinkled robe, and winked at the policeman who drew his bowstring, a cold light flashed through the narrow eye slits.
Lin Lin was young, so she was still scared. She curled up tightly in her grandma's arms, her eyes closed tightly.Just when she thought she was going to die, she suddenly heard a loud and familiar voice.
"stop--"
Lin Lin opened her eyes cautiously, and saw that fierce big brother running out from nowhere, he was still wearing plain robes, the robes clearly showed traces of mending, his figure was tall and straight, his back straight, like a proudly standing pine and cypress, Full of tenacity and indestructible momentum.
Zheng Shunan kept a close eye on Lin Zhen, fearing that he would lose the chain at the critical moment. Just a dozen seconds ago, Lin Zhen was still indifferent.
The county magistrate hadn't gotten into the sedan chair yet, so he turned his head and looked over curiously.The master frowned and shouted arrogantly, "Bold, who are you? How dare you obstruct the official mission!"
Lin Zhen kept a stern face, imitating what Zheng Shunan taught him, and sternly said: "Presumptuous, how dare a mere seventh-rank magistrate be so careless about human life, do you still have an imperial court and an emperor in your eyes?"
The master was astonished, and then burst out laughing, "Hahaha, what a joke! Here the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the king of the Northern War is our sky. Even if the emperor comes, it won't work."
"Really?" Lin Zhen sneered, "I didn't know that the Northern Warlord was so daring. If I hadn't visited in disguise, I wouldn't have been ridden on my head by him."
The master was astonished, and looked at Lin Zhen cautiously, not daring to utter nonsense anymore, and turned to the county magistrate who hadn't left yet.
The county magistrate cast a contemptuous glance at Lin Zhen, and said sarcastically, "Bah! Just you, the emperor? You don't look for a mirror to look at yourself. If you are the emperor, then I am the emperor's father. What the hell, the emperor these days It’s so worthless, anyone can impersonate it.”
Lin Zhen's strong tone suddenly dissipated, and she said angrily, "Shut up, the royal majesty won't allow you to make irresponsible remarks!"
The county magistrate said: "The army is in turmoil these years. I heard that the emperor led the army to fight with the barbarians. Maybe we have to change to a new master. Who knows for sure."
"You—you dare to slander me openly, because you think your head is too heavy, so you don't want it anymore?!"
"Crazy, talking nonsense, what do you know," the county magistrate waved impatiently, "Don't talk to him, shoot the arrow!"
Lin Zhen straightened her back and stood stubbornly in front, refusing to take half a step back, but turned her head to look at Zheng Shunan guiltily, feeling extremely disappointed and sad because she did not complete what the other party had told her.
Zheng Shunan's heart sank instantly, and he sighed regretfully. He leaned over to Lin Lin's ear and said a few words, and then suddenly stepped forward and said loudly: "Master Yang doesn't believe what he said? The emperor has indeed led the army to Mucheng. But now that the pastoral city has been won, the emperor went downstream along the moat, firstly to observe the sentiments of the people, secondly, the emperor had not seen Master Yu for a long time, and missed him very much. The fortune-telling guards found out the situation, but unexpectedly encountered a group of robbers, the guards were defeated and died, the emperor was seriously injured, and was carried into the plague village by people who didn't know the truth, and he was still unable to leave."
The county magistrate said, "Who are you?"
Zheng Shunan said: "Zheng Shunan, the third-rank bodyguard in front of the imperial court."
The county magistrate fell into deep thought, as if he was considering how to proceed. After all, Zheng Shunan spoke clearly, and ordinary people would not know that the emperor had arrived in Mucheng and the news of the great victory in Mucheng.
Zheng Shunan was nervous, but he had no idea. At this moment, several bowstrings were aimed at him and Lin Zhen. If there was any mistake, they would be shot full of holes.
Zheng Shunan tried his best to keep calm and said: "If Lord Yang doesn't believe you, you can send someone to find out your identity. If you accidentally hurt the emperor, can you bear the charge of killing the king?"
The county magistrate didn't speak, and called the master to discuss countermeasures. The two whispered for a long time. The county magistrate was helped by the servants to get off the soft sedan and stopped within a few steps of the wooden pile.
"What Mr. Zheng said is very true. The subordinate officials are confused," the county magistrate sighed, "I ask the emperor to forgive me for the offense. The subordinate officials also obeyed orders. The subordinate officials did not know about the emperor's private visit. crime……"
Zheng Shunan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to interrupt the county magistrate's long speech, when Lin Zhen beside him suddenly sneered, and said coldly: "Yu Yang knows that he is covering the sky with his hands, is he planning to rebel? Master Yang, rebellion is worth a thousand dollars." The serious crime of cutting and implicating the nine clans, you really think your head is too heavy, so you don't want it anymore?"
The words were exactly the same as before, but Lin Zhen said it now, but with an indescribable sense of oppression.Lin Zhen raised her head slightly, and squinted at the county magistrate, carrying a chill of contempt and indifference.
The county magistrate's face froze suddenly, obviously before the identities of the two were found out, he was extremely angry at being so humiliated.
Zheng Shunan lowered his voice and said, "What are you doing?"
Lin Zhen suddenly turned her head to look at Zheng Shunan, and immediately blocked all Zheng Shunan's words back into her throat. She saw Lin Zhen's expression was serious, her face sinking like water, her sharp black pupils were covered by black, and there was no trace of faint red.
Lin Zhen continued to say coldly: "As a county magistrate, you don't seek the well-being of the people, but disregard people's lives and harm countless people. You are really incompetent as an official..."
Zheng Shunan frowned, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Then he saw Lin Zhen jumping over the stake and heading straight for the potbellied county magistrate. Quickly ordered the police to shoot and kill Lin Zhen, but Lin Zhen was extremely fast, and avoided the bow and arrow after a few dodges.
Lin Zhen quickly pulled out the long sword around the policeman's waist like lightning, and hid behind the county magistrate like a ghost. It touched the county magistrate's neck, and the scarlet warm blood sprayed out, and several servants ran away screaming in fright.
Lin Zhen stared at the county magistrate's body expressionlessly, not afraid of the arresters who drew their bowstrings, and said cheerfully: "Deceive the king and commit crimes, death is not a pity."
Seeing that the county magistrate was dead, the yamen servants and arresters turned their bows and arrows at the plagued villagers. The master was shaking like chaff, his face was as pale as paper, and he wanted to sneak away from one side. He was just a master hired by the yamen. There's no need to risk your life to go in.
The head-catching sword pointed directly at the master, turned to Lin Zhen and said neither humble nor overbearing: "The official Ouyang Yi is the head arrester of the Wencang County Government. Although Mr. Yang is not a clean official, as an official ordered by the court, he should be punished according to the law. The two of you will come back to the Yamen with me, if your identities are true, Ouyang Yi is willing to bear the responsibility, otherwise don't blame the officials for being cruel."
Naturally, Lin Zhen didn't care about the life and death of the common people. Just as he wanted to ask Ouyang Yi to be free, Zheng Shunan held down his shoulders. He frowned and looked at Shi Yuqing impatiently, and heard Shi Yuqing calmly say: "Don't shoot the arrow, we will follow you!" you go."
Lin Zhen was furious, "How dare you make your own claims!"
Zheng Shunan reminded in a low voice, "Don't forget who saved you."
Lin Zhen and Zheng Shunan were tied hands and feet and sent directly to the county government prison.Entering the prison, a rotten and dull smell came to the face. There were endless screams and begging for mercy in the prison. The crying was hoarse and tragic, and it was more lively than the vegetable market.
Lin Zhen was pushed into the prison and staggered slightly. He turned his head and stared fiercely at the other person, as if he was about to swallow him alive. That person was also worthless, but he was frightened by Lin Zhen and complained in a low voice. But he didn't dare to move any more.
Zheng Shunan looked around and looked at the cell, feeling a little headache, lest Lin Zhen would think this or that again.The treatment in this cell is really terrible. The floor is uneven bluestone slabs, two hardwood boards are placed in the corner, and the dark quilt smells so bad that it has not been washed for several years.There is a toilet in the corner on the other side, and there is still urine in the bucket, which exudes a strong stench, which is disgusting and makes people want to vomit.
Zheng Shunan covered his nose with his hands, and as expected, he saw Lin Zhen's face darker than the bottom of the pot, with a fierce and violent aura of oppression.
"Come here!" Lin Zhen kicked the prison door furiously, but the wooden door frame was very strong, and it only trembled a few times, "Get out of here! Otherwise, I'll kill you dogs!"
"It's unreasonable, let us out quickly!"
"Okay! Pretending to be dumb, right? Alright, I'll remember, none of them will be able to escape in the future!"
After Lin Zhen finished speaking the last sentence, she found a slightly clean wall, leaned her back against it, closed her eyes and rested with her back suppressing her anger.He crossed his arms to his chest, his legs were stretched straight, and the air was full of stench and rotten smell, which disturbed him and made him unable to calm down. It was a hundred times worse than a bloody battlefield.
Zheng Shunan reluctantly sat on the hard wooden plank, only feeling the pain in his buttocks from the hard wooden plank, and felt a little regretful at this moment. If he had known that he would be locked up in such a bad place, he would have arrested him without saying a word.
Zheng Shunan admitted his mistake very well, "I made a mistake."
Lin Zhen frowned and remained silent.
Zheng Shunan said again: "The villagers are innocent. You can't kill them in vain. If the head arrester dares not kill us, he will definitely report the matter to Yu Yang."
Lin Zhen said coldly, "You expect Yu Yang to send us back to Beijing?"
Zheng Shunan sighed a little, thinking that Lin Zhen had changed his personality, and his IQ was finally online together, and somehow he missed the innocent, lively, messy second personality.
Zheng Shunan said: "I have told Lin Lin the secret language. Once she leaves Plague Village, she will find a way to contact the army."
Lin Zhen was puzzled, "Lin Lin?"
"A little girl, her grandma should be dead. If she can find someone from the army, we should find a way to cure her of the plague."
Lin Zhen frowned even deeper, "The plague is contagious, what if she infects the army? Shi Yuqing, is this the way you came up with?"
Zheng Shunan lost his temper as he spoke, "Aside from using the plague villagers as human shields, what better way can you do?"
"Plague patients, you have already stepped into hell with one foot. If you don't die now, you will die sooner or later. I underestimated your compassionate mind. You can't protect yourself, and you still want to save others?"
Anger welled up in Zheng Shunan's eyes, and he said in a serious voice, "Lin Zhen, this is your country. As a king, you should be sympathetic to the people and seek benefits for the people. If you can't be the emperor, you might as well abdicate and let the virtuous!"
Lin Zhen suddenly turned her head and stared at Zheng Shunan, her pupils shrank suddenly, and the corners of her mouth curled into a dangerous arc. After a while, she said coldly, "Shi Yuqing, I don't need you to teach me how to be an emperor, so what if you know how to be sympathetic to the people. It’s not like being a king of subjugation, only the weak will have kind thoughts in their hearts, and the necessary sacrifices are worthwhile in order to seek great plans.”
Zheng Shunan stared at Lin Zhen. He actually didn't want to quarrel with Lin Zhen, but Lin Zhen could always find a way to make him angry, and she was not at all cute as a second personality.Zheng Shunan's head is in a mess. It stands to reason that the main personality and the second personality are the same person. Why are there such big differences in their personalities?Or is it that Lin Zhen still has Shi Yuqing in her heart, but she suppressed it desperately because of hatred, and gradually developed a new personality that trusts Shi Yuqing in every possible way.
If Lin Zhen is willing to face up to his feelings for Shi Yuqing, will the second personality disappear naturally?
Zheng Shunan was so angry that his stomach was full of anger, and Lin Zhen was extremely irritable. He found that his memory was very messy, and his head was aching, as if he was about to be burst by countless things.Ever since he jumped into the moat, Lin Zhen was forced to live in a vast expanse of whiteness. He could neither see nor hear anything.Later, I heard someone talking, the voice was very familiar, but what he said was strongly resisted, so Lin Zhen refuted the other party sharply.
There was a vague guess in Lin Zhen's mind that that person was actually himself, who somehow occupied his body, and that's why he didn't have the memory of the past few days. Now that he has snatched back his body, he has control over it.
This discovery upset Lin Zhen, who has a strong desire for control. If he could, he would kill the other party resolutely and cleanly, but Lin Zhen couldn't. He didn't know why another self appeared, and he couldn't find a way to meet that person , when will that person appear, and how much impact will it have on his great cause?
Everything is unknown, Lin Zhen hates the unknown, and the extreme irritability in his heart makes him want to kill to vent, but at this moment there are only him and Shi Yuqing, although Lin Zhen still hates Shi Yuqing, but he is not willing to let Shi Yuqing Died so easily.
Lin Zhen suddenly thought of Shi Yuqing who jumped into the moat resolutely, and Shi Yuqing fearlessly entered the plague village that night, and found him who was thrown on the grave to fend for himself, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Shi Yuqing can die for him now, why did he betray him in the first place?
Does Shi Yuqing know how sad and desperate he felt when he learned that he was going to get married, and when he almost died after being hunted down by him. He thought that in this world, except for his mother and concubine, no one thought about him after all. Looking at him, even Shi Yuqing, whom he wanted to grow old with, died completely from that moment.
But death is death, why should it be revived now?
Lin Zhen turned her head to look at Shi Yuqing who was lying curled up on the hard wooden board. His hands were tightly wrapped around his shoulders, but he was still shaking because of the cold. Lin Zhen could even clearly hear the shivering sound of Shi Yuqing's teeth.
Shi Yuqing was a wealthy man, she had never experienced hardships since she was a child, and she was extremely afraid of the cold, so every winter she would wrap herself in a very thick fox fur cloak, or hide in bed and would not get up.It's freezing cold today, maybe it's snowing outside again, and the quilt smells so dark, not to mention Shi Yuqing dislikes it, even Lin Zhen dare not use it, who knows if there is an infectious disease or something like that.
Shi Yuqing must be extremely cold now, there is no quilt, no charcoal fire, no hand stove, how should he spend this long and cold night.
A sense of revenge suddenly surged in Lin Zhen's heart, and it was fleeting, and the sight of Shi Yuqing's thin and thin back became more and more complicated and unpredictable.
Shi Yuqing had indeed changed. Before she was betrayed, Lin Zhen knew that Shi Yuqing was selfish and cunning. He was a typical egoist, and he was better at lying and deceiving others. I didn't take it to heart.
Today's Shi Yuqing is like a reborn man, and treats him very well from the beginning to the end. Lin Zhen can't deny that when he saw Shi Yuqing at the grave that night, he was like a candle that was about to burn out. Lin Zhen thought he was going to die , in fact, if Shi Yuqing hadn't saved him that night, Lin Zhen would be dead by now.
He owed Shi Yuqing his life.
Lin Zhen leaned her back against the wall and did not move for a long time, like a silent statue in dead silence.The cell was gloomy, and the yellowed candlelight reflected a faint light, permeating the gloomy atmosphere.
The candlelight outside the prison suddenly jumped, and Zheng Shunan turned over anxiously, as if his whole body was going to be frozen.Lin Zhen finally walked towards the plank bed. Most of his body was numb, and it hurt like a needle prick when he moved a little.
Lin Zhen unbuttoned the coat, and the cold wind pierced through the thin coat, causing pain to the bones.He turned Zheng Shunan's body, pushed his tightly bound hands away, and went to unbutton Zheng Shunan's cotton coat without any explanation.
Zheng Shunan was so cold that his teeth were chattering. He felt in a daze that someone was ripping off his clothes. The temperature was getting colder and colder. He couldn't help waking up. When he saw Lin Zhen, he woke up immediately and said angrily, "Lin Zhen, are you crazy! What time is this, you are still fucking in heat!"
Lin Zhen's face sank like water, and she continued to take off without saying a word, ignoring Zheng Shunan's resistance. After unbuttoning the cotton coat, Lin Zhen indifferently wrapped Zheng Shunan's waist and pulled him closer to him. The two hugged tightly to keep warm. The ventilated place can be covered with a cotton coat.
Zheng Shunan thought Lin Zhen was in heat at first, but he was hugged by Lin Zhen, and the other party didn't do anything else.Both of them were very cold, but when they touched each other, a sense of warmth gradually rose. Zheng Shunan raised his vigilance, and found that Lin Zhen's posture was relaxed, and his breathing was long, and he gradually relaxed.
The chill is still severe, but it feels much warmer and more comfortable because of the heat transfer.
Zheng Shunan was a bit puzzled by Lin Zhen. He was confronting him just now. Why did he suddenly change his attitude and think of using his body to keep warm?Lin Zhen is in good physical condition, so she probably did this because she was worried about Shi Yuqing.
Hugging each other tightly, Zheng Shunan found it difficult to fall asleep, and he didn't dare to turn over wantonly because of Lin Zhen.Who knows that Lin Zhen didn't fall asleep either, and suddenly asked in a low voice with a complicated expression in the dark night: "Why did you save me?"
Zheng Shunan adjusted his posture and replaced the head that was originally pressed by Lin Zhen on the chest with a pillow on the opponent's arm. Cold as hell.
Zheng Shunan thought for a while, "I said, I hope you can live well."
Lin Zhen laughed dumbfounded, and said sarcastically and absurdly: "Shi Yuqing, since you want me to live well, why did you betray me in the first place, and I almost died at your hands! Now that you have realized your conscience, do you want to make up for me again? Or you Do you have other plans, want me to fall into your trap, and be harmed by you forever?"
After Lin Zhen finished speaking without the slightest emotion, her mood was not as relaxed as imagined, but rather heavy, as if she was vaguely expecting something.
