Crossing town house man and wife

The next morning, Yan Heng sent two guards to take them ashore together with He Qianqian and his maid.

They will escort He Qianqian back to Wenyang, let her tidy up the belongings there, and then take these belongings to Liaodong, and hand them over to Mrs. Ying for resettlement.

But before setting off, Yan Heng also quietly told the two guards that if something unexpected happens, they should give priority to protecting themselves, and there is no need to risk their lives for the He family girl.

After the two natural disasters, the victims who could not find hope in the local area began to spread outwards. Affected by them, even the counties in the Central Plains that have not been affected by the natural disasters have experienced chaos.

Along the way, the number of victims became more and more. Facing hunger and cold, some people sold their children and daughters to sell themselves, while others began to take risks and target others.

Even Yan Heng and his team, who knew at a glance that they were not easy to mess with, suffered two robberies and countless thefts. It is even more conceivable what will happen to He Qianqian and the four of them.

Just in case, before disembarking, He Qianqian and her maids all changed into men's clothes, and also hung sabers around their waists, hoping to deter some timid people.

As for whether this kind of preparation will work, Yan Heng can only say, do your best and obey the destiny.

If there is an accident, it can only be described in one sentence - it is not that it deserves to be unlucky, but that it is caused by oneself.

Yan Heng didn't understand why He Qianqian insisted on running out to endure hardships instead of being a good lady, but since this was her own choice, and he was not her parents, naturally there was no need to take responsibility or interfere.Anyway, he has done his best, and what happens next depends on her ability and luck.

As for whether He Qianqian will stir up trouble in Liaodong and seek power from Mrs. Ying's hands——

Let's wait until she arrives in Liaodong safely!

Although Yan Heng didn't have much expectations for his mother, but when it comes to killing decisively, how can a yellow-haired girl like He Qianqian be compared with the Ying family? A person like Wu Ming who is powerful and unreasonable will be devastated. If it were He Qianqian... I'm afraid he would have been devoured to the bone.

Compared with who will own the power in the future, and who will be the sheriff, Yan Heng is more worried about whether the situation he created in Liaodong can be maintained, and whether the immigrants in Liaoxi can take root there.

But compared to all of this, he was more worried about whether Wu Ming would abandon him.

When the steelyard in his heart leaned more and more towards Wu Ming, Yan Heng realized that he was also a willful person.

He loves beauties more than Jiangshan.

He wants to make himself happy more than the happiness of the people under his rule.

He likes a sentence that Wu Ming said very much: No one is qualified to let others sacrifice for themselves.

He also does not want to sacrifice his own happiness to fulfill the peace and happiness of others.

He wants to see Wu Ming's world, and wants to live with Wu Ming, away from intrigue and natural disasters*.

As for what will happen to Liaodong after he leaves, what will happen to the people in Liaodong is beyond his consideration.

As Wu Ming said, no one is indispensable in this world.

With him or without him, the people of Liaodong will all live, all will live.

He has worked hard to make them survive the natural disaster and give them a stable life, but after all, he is not their parents, and it is impossible to support them for a lifetime.

If the order in Liaodong collapses as soon as he leaves, it will be the people of Liaodong repaying their debts for their previous peaceful life.

After all, he owed them nothing.

Yan Heng has already made up his mind, as long as Wu Ming can take him away, he will leave with Wu Ming.

But if Wu Ming can only go alone, then he will not let Wu Ming go even if he dies.

After turning into a waterway, the speed of Yan Heng and his party accelerated a lot, and they arrived at the boundary of Xianyang within a few days.

But when he disembarked, Yan Heng found that the victims in Xianyang had already become a "disaster".

The dock where they were located was guarded by officers and soldiers, and the victims could not enter. This allowed them to go ashore safely. Outside the dock, many ragged civilians were crowding at the exit, making it clear that they wanted to swarm them when they came out.

"My lord, something is wrong." Yao Zhong approached Yan Heng and reminded him in a low voice.

Yan Heng originally didn't intend to take Yao Zhong out together, but Yao Zhong didn't know if he knew something or felt something, so he dragged his injured leg and got mixed up in the team.When Yan Heng found out, they had already left Xiangping for several days.

At this moment, Yan Heng couldn't push Yao Zhong back, so he could only acquiesce in his pursuit.

By the time the group of people arrived at the boundary of Xianyang by boat, Yao Zhong's legs had already recovered a lot. Although he couldn't run and jump yet, he could walk like a normal person.

"There are too many victims here." Yan Heng frowned slightly.

So far, natural disasters have all occurred in the frontier and Linhai counties, and the ordinary victims have no vehicles, so how can they travel long distances in just one month and concentrate in Xianyang?

"Could it be that natural disasters happened around Xianyang?"

"Let me ask." Yao Zhong volunteered.

Yan Heng nodded.

Yao Zhong immediately left the team and walked towards the officers and soldiers stationed at the dock.

After the whole team had disembarked, Yao Zhong returned to Yan Heng with the news he had heard.

There were no major natural disasters in Xianyang, only a few minor earthquakes. Most of these victims came from the surrounding Longxi, Beidi, Shangjun, Bashu and other places, and some were originally wealthy households from coastal counties such as Langya and Qijun. After the tsunami, I came to Xianyang by water.

"Most of these people came to Xianyang in the past ten days. It is said that they heard a saying—" Yao Zhong paused, and said in a low voice, "There is food in Xianyang."

Yan Heng was slightly taken aback, then frowned, "How did you come up with this statement?"

"My lord, I have to go to the disaster victims to investigate, the government will not know." Yao Chong spread his hands, "At present, we can only speculate that these disaster victims came with hope, but Xianyang... obviously let them down gone."

Of course Xianyang has food.

As the capital of a country and the place where the emperor is, the granary in Xianyang must be the most substantial. After all, no one can be hungry for the emperor, right?But because of this, Xianyang City is also the least likely place to open a warehouse to release grain to the victims.

Only the emperor can open the granary in Xianyang. Others who open the granary without purpose are deceiving the emperor and rebelling.

Will Ying Han open the granary in Xianyang to help the victims?Based on Yan Heng's understanding of him, he definitely would.

Ying Han has always wanted to be a good emperor.As long as he knows that there are such a group of victims waiting to be fed outside Xianyang City, he will definitely order to open a warehouse at the risk of starving himself.

But will Ying Han know?Based on Yan Heng's understanding of him and the people around him, the answer is probably no.

Ying Han has never left the palace since he was a child, and everything he knows is from books and people around him.But Shujuan will not tell him that there is a natural disaster outside, and the people around him will choose to hide it because they don't want to starve with him, worry that the victims will bring the disease, and are indifferent to the suffering of the victims, etc. .

Just looking at the chaotic and disorderly state of these disaster victims by the river, you can tell that they are left alone.

Yan Heng didn't want to bother, seeing that his team was ready to go, he immediately got on his horse and led the people away from the dock.

After leaving the dock, Yan Heng and others knew why there were so many disaster victims here.

They are all begging here.

Obviously, in the past few days, convoys of people and horses like them have often arrived in Xianyang by water, and these people are all dignitaries, so naturally they will not be short of food and clothing like the victims of the disaster.Among these people, there are many people who are sympathetic and compassionate, and there are many people who win over people's hearts. Naturally, they will not be indifferent when encountering disaster victims blocking the way.

Those who come and go once and twice, the victims get the sweetness, and they will naturally gather here.

Yan Heng has neither compassion nor interest in buying people's hearts, so he directly ordered people to disperse the victims who were blocking the way, and headed towards Xianyang City.

On the way, Yan Heng met officials who came to greet him and entered the city together.

The disaster victims gathered near Xianyang City were more than those at the shipyard, and they were densely scattered around Xianyang, almost surrounding the entire Xianyang City.Some have pitched tents, while others have just spread out mats on the ground.Seeing a convoy passing by, a group of old people and young children gathered around and begged for food from the nobles in the convoy.

Yan Heng glanced at them calmly, always feeling that the state of these victims was not normal, but he couldn't tell exactly where the abnormality was.Under his rule, most of the disaster victims were rescued and controlled immediately, and there was no need to leave their homes.This made Yan Heng unable to grasp what the state of the disaster victims living in other places should be. He just felt that these people were...too orderly.

Slightly startled, Yan Heng suddenly realized.

These people are indeed a little too orderly. A group of people seem to be scattered outside Xianyang City in embarrassment, but in fact they are not scattered. They are obviously grouped together according to clan and region. Even the beggars seem to have a clear understanding. The division of labor turned out to be the elders and children who are the most sympathetic.The people being begged are unwilling to give alms, and these people are not obsessed with them. They will scatter away as long as they are threatened a little bit, and they don't see the desperateness of desperate situations at all.

Why is this happening?

Yan Heng looked into the distance subconsciously, and soon found that several young and strong victims were watching from a distance.When their eyes collided with his, most of them carefully looked away, but there were also two who stared back viciously, without the fear and panic that commoners had when they met nobles.

Yan Heng couldn't help but shudder.

The situation in Xianyang is probably more complicated than he expected. He just doesn't know who is involved and what they want to gain from it.

Yan Heng suppressed the doubts in his heart, and looked away calmly.

After entering the city, Yan Heng did not go to the post house arranged for him, and took people to live in his mother Ying's Princess Mansion.

This princess mansion was built before Ying's marriage, but Ying only lived in it for a month, and then went to Liaodong with Yan Heng's father, but Yan Heng often came to live there when he was a child, after many years , The memory of every plant and tree inside is still fresh.

Sending off the officials who came to greet them, and asking him to convey his request to meet the emperor and queen mother, Yan Heng turned and went to the garden of the princess mansion.

The scenery here is actually not good. The house that has never been lived in by the owner will inevitably be neglected, with wild grasses and branches messy, not to mention the exotic flowers and plants in the palace.

But after all, it was a revisit of the old place, and Yan Heng couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

When he jumped out of the original circle and stopped treating Yingzi Zhan as an emperor and an elder, he realized that that person had never really cared about him.

In his memory, Ying Han had never left the palace, but he could leave whenever he wanted, as long as he brought his attendants with him, he could leave the palace anytime and anywhere, even if he was less than ten years old at that time, follow him Most of them are only in their teens.Ying Han's daily homework is fixed, and the people who teach him are celebrities and senior officials, but his homework is controlled by Yingzi Zhan himself, learning whatever he wants, or more precisely, what Yingzi Zhan thinks of Just teach him something, there is never a rule at all.

However, under this kind of casual teaching, he mastered the way of governing the world and applied what he learned, while Ying Han achieved nothing.

Such a result, it is estimated that Yingzi Zhan never thought of it.

Speaking of which, he still has gratitude to Yingzi Zhan, but this kind of gratitude is based on the fact that Yingzi Zhan is dead. If Yingzi Zhan is still alive now, he will become another Lu Liang...

Yan Heng wasn't sure if he could be ruthless, but in terms of "thinking", he didn't want him to live.

Thinking of this, Yan Heng suddenly trembled.

Perhaps Wu Ming also saw this, so he took the initiative to save him those entanglements.

In fact, Wu Ming helped him more than just this once.

Since Wu Ming came to his side, he has never encountered unsolvable worries, many things were solved by Wu Ming before he took action.However, the solution is so simple and brutal that it makes people heinous. If things go on like this, Wu Ming will inevitably become the target of public criticism. Even if he really wins the world, the people of the world will definitely force him to kill Wu Ming.

Yan Heng couldn't be sure, if there was such a day, how he would make a choice, so he simply gave up his choice and didn't let that day happen.

Maybe he will regret it in the future, but if he really makes a choice that he doesn't even want to think about now, then he will definitely regret it even more in the future.

Yan Heng sighed unconsciously, and looked up at the sky.

I don't know when Wu Ming will come to him.
