Chapter 70 The Great Drought

In a blink of an eye, another half month passed. Huo Jinye believed that he had completely captured the imperial city, so he withdrew the Zhenbei Army from the homes of all the officials. The Zhenbei General Hou led the Zhenbei Army back to the northwest border. The national general Hou Yuwen stayed in the imperial city, and it was rare for his son to have a higher official position than Lao Tzu.

Huo Jinye had his own intentions in keeping Hou Yuwen in the imperial city. He is currently short of people who can speak for him in the court, and Hou Yuwen is articulate and has helped him many times in the court. Huo Jinye said, dear, just you Can help me.

But Hou Yuwen didn't think so.He just felt that the emperor really plotted against him.

Hou Yuwen: Hey, what should the emperor always want to do with me?

Huo Jinye: Hou Aiqing's miracles are very suspicious recently, could it be... Spring is here? ? ?

Huo Jinye: Hou Aiqing, see you in the brothel tonight!

Hou Yuwen: Boom, are you coming?come yet?

Huo Jinye: Why is Hou Aiqing's eyes so weird? ? ?

In short, Huo Jinye thought he was in control of the overall situation, but he never expected that there were hundreds of thousands of "vicious beasts" hidden not far from his imperial city.

April is the season of spring rain. In previous years, the people of Dayuan Kingdom waited for the first spring rain to start planting love, but this year is strange. The spring rain that came in March and April in previous years has been coming this year, and the sky is cloudy day after day. It was heavy, but it never rained, and there was a strong wind for several days, and the cold people didn't want to go out.

The people of the Great Yuan Kingdom had to carry water from nearby rivers and lakes to sow seeds.

The southern region is fine, there are many rivers and lakes, and there is no shortage of water. The northern region is not so beautiful. The sky is dry, the wind is blowing, and there has been no rain for more than a month. The people inevitably complain.Many people gathered to set up altars to worship the gods and pray for rain.However, it was all useless work, God did not move at all, and finally the dark clouds even dispersed, revealing the long-lost sunshine.

The people of the Great Yuan Kingdom: Weedy horses!What I want is rain!

Although it was spring, the heavens seemed to be adding fuel to the fire. For several days in a row, the sun was hot in the sky, the heat in the air kept rising, the water in the people's tanks kept decreasing, and the water level in the wells kept dropping.When the people saw the dry cracks in the ground, they finally started to panic.

The common people gathered together and asked to go to the government, hoping that the government would report to the imperial city, so that the revered sage could find a way to let the royal family offer sacrifices to the heavens, maybe it would work, and the heavens would be willing to rain down.

The adults in the government played one after another, and the common people eased their anxiety a little.They have already heard about the appointment of the new emperor. For the common people, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, as long as it doesn't affect their normal life.

But the poor people will soon reverse this thinking.

A few days later, the official scrolls came down, and the people waited expectantly at the gate of the government, but they heard a bad news.

Their tax has increased from the previous four shi for forage to eight shi for forage!

A few people who were not in good spirits fainted on the spot, and they sent them to the hospital in a hurry. The officials were also a little helpless, but this was an order from above, and he had to carry it out.

There was a severe drought, and the emperor not only did nothing, but also increased taxes. The harsh taxes emptied many people's food reserves, and the poorer people's families tended to be unable to uncover the pot.

The common people also place their hopes on the God. No matter how sincere the common people are, they don't know why the God is silent.

North.imperial city.

In a small alley, a ragged little boy was surrounded by a group of older kids who were also ragged. They were discussing how many copper coins and how many porridge or cold buns they got today.

The boy is the youngest child in the west block of the imperial city. He escaped to the west block during the mutiny of the imperial city a year ago. A group of kind-hearted older children took in this young man who came from an unknown family. He was hunted down by his enemies. In order to prevent this young man from being taken away, everyone painted his face black and replaced the brocade on his body with a tattered beggar's uniform.It's just that the boy with the engraved jade pendant hanging around his neck was still unwilling to take it off, so everyone followed him, but told him to hide it well on weekdays, so that no one could covet it.Several half-grown children begged for a living since they were young, and had never been to school, so naturally they couldn't understand the meaning of the characters on the jade pendant.

Since the boy joined the begging army, he took the initiative to teach the older children how to read, and the older children learned a lot, but the boy never told everyone what the characters on the jade pendant were.The older children were afraid of causing him sadness, so they didn't ask any more questions.

It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Although the boy's life is not as good as before, at least he is still alive. He has been waiting, waiting for the emperor sister who married him to the Great Yuan Kingdom to save him. Not likely anymore.If a married woman gets splashed with water, sister Huang may never come back for the rest of her life.

That's right, this boy is the fifth prince of the Yan family in the Northern Kingdom, Yan Yi, the little prince who escaped from the palace back then.

Yan Yi was only 11 years old, but in just one year, he lost almost everything. It was a blessing in misfortune that he was able to meet a group of kind children in the west block of the imperial city.

Yan Yi has been with the children for more than a year. During this year, he has slept in a stable, slept in a pigsty, eaten leftovers, and was even hungry on weekdays. He wore the worst clothes, Even almost naked in winter.He survived the wind and cold, and endured the cruel winter tenaciously.

God knows, how much he hates the Wu clan that made him fall to this point. The Wu clan separated him from his brothers and sisters, even killed his brother and a sister, and traded the eldest sister to the big brother like a commodity. Yuan country!I don't know how Miss Huang is doing in Da Yuan Kingdom.Did the emperor of the Great Yuan Kingdom bully her, did the emperor's harem bully her, and did she get used to living in the Great Yuan Kingdom?

All these problems troubled Yan Yi for a long time, until that day.

On that day, gongs and drums blared, shouts and killings burst from inside and outside the city, gunpowder smoke rose from the top of the city, and arrows shot across the sky from time to time. Soon the soldiers in the city could not resist, and the city gate was broken open. , a heroic woman riding a tall black horse came in murderously leading soldiers in heavy armor.The retreating soldiers in the city were red-eyed, and the northerners who hadn't had time to escape on the way were wiped across their necks with a knife. The scene was very bloody. Yan Yi saw that the heroic woman was Yan Xi!His eldest sister Yan Xi!came back!

At that moment, Yan Yi was so excited that she wanted to run out. He didn't see the red-eyed soldiers in the city retreating this way. Fortunately, the eldest brother among the children dragged Yan Yi back to the alleyway. Dragging him to hide in the garbage dump deep in the alley, several children escaped successfully.

Afterwards, it was Yan Xi who regained the regime in the Northern Kingdom, and all the Wu clan was arrested. Immediately afterwards, Wu clan led troops all the way back from the Great Yuan Kingdom, and Yan Xi and Wu clan fought for three hundred rounds outside the city gate. , Wuzhi was defeated in battle, and then was attacked by Yan Xi's troops at night, and was captured alive.

Then, it was the questioning and beheading on the second day. Everything happened too suddenly, but Yan Yi obviously liked it. He bought a big white steamed bun with the copper coins he had saved for a long time, and squeezed into the crowd outside the execution ground because of his short stature. In the crowd of people, Yan Yi's eyes reflected the trembling Wu family kneeling on Xingtai, and then at noon, the executioner raised his knife and fell, blood spattered three feet in an instant on the execution ground.The executioners withdrew their knives, the members of Wu's clan were already dead, completely dead, Yan Yi's face showed the pleasure of revenge, although she did not take revenge on herself.But it is the revenge of the imperial sister, which can be regarded as the revenge of the Yan family.

Many of the onlookers took the steamed buns and noodles, rushed forward and dipped them in.Human blood steamed buns have been around since ancient times, and it is not surprising.Yan Yi also took advantage of the chaos to dip in blood, and then left holding the steamed buns. As for Yan Xi, she left the execution platform long after the Wu clan was beheaded.

Yan Yi took the human blood steamed buns back to the children's shed, which really shocked the children. Yan Yi didn't eat the human blood steamed buns, but dried them well and put them on her body.

Ever since Yan Xi returned to the Northern Kingdom, Yan Yi wanted to go back to the imperial palace, but he was very worried. Now that he was such a beggar, how could he have the face to see the imperial sister? He was also worried. Would you like to meet someone who might covet the throne?Although he has little interest in the throne.

This is probably, the so-called, close to the hometown, right?Yan Yi thought to herself.

Yan Yi has been depressed recently, and the children are a little worried about him, but he doesn't say anything when they ask him.But the children were very anxious, and what made them even more anxious was that when they woke up one morning, they found that Yan Yi had disappeared.

The children only knew that Yan Yi called herself "Little Five" and they didn't know anything else, so the children searched all over the street, but to no avail.

What they didn't know was that Yan Yi had finally decided to face her imperial sister, and he had really had enough of living in the open.

Yan Yi successfully returned to the palace with the jade pendant of the Yan family. As soon as he reached the gate of the palace, he was chased away by two guards as a beggar. He suppressed his anger, held the jade pendant and stepped forward again, expressing his intention to come. When they saw the jade pendant of Yan's royal family, the two guards were frightened. Behind the palace, none of the old people in the palace changed. Eunuch Zhang knew the fifth prince. Although Yan Yi was dressed in rags and looked disheveled, he had a vicious eye and recognized the fifth prince immediately.

Eunuch Zhang has been with the Yan family for many years, and has long had feelings for him. The number of members of the Yan family has been reduced, and only Yan Xi is left. Seeing the return of the fifth prince, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

After Eunuch Zhang wept and brought him into the palace, took a bath, and changed into clean and decent clothes, Yan Yi couldn't wait to see Yan Xi, but was told that Her Majesty the Empress had gone to the Great Yuan Kingdom and hadn't returned yet.

Yan Yi was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up. Sister Huang would come back sooner or later, so he just waited obediently.

Yan Yi called for the guards, gave some instructions in a low voice, and the guards took the orders and left.

A group of guards suddenly poured into the alleys of the west block of the imperial city. Just after noon, the children were resting in the stables, when they heard the sound of footsteps approaching, a group of children reflexively wanted to run away. , but was blocked by the guards who rushed over, the leading guard took a step forward, "My Highness, please everyone, and please follow me."

Although it was said that they were invited, there was no doubt about the solemn appearance of a group of guards. The children had no choice but to admit that they were unlucky and followed the guards.

Great Yuan Kingdom Baili Mountain.

Ever since Huo Jinyu and Yan Xi opened their hearts, they have been getting tired of being together every day, wishing they could go to the bathroom without being separated.

It was past noon, and the two of them, who had just finished their lunch, were walking on the edge of the forest to digest their food. They were still carrying bows and arrows, trying to hunt some wild game.

This is a fat pigeon flying from the sky, the pigeon flapped its wings and landed on Yan Xi's hand, Yan Xi took out the note from the pigeon's leg, and when she saw it, she was immediately stunned.

Huo Jinyu leaned over curiously, "What's wrong?"

Yan Xi replied excitedly, "My emperor brother has been found!"

Xi'er was happy, and Huo Jinyu was also happy. "Then Xi'er is going back to the Northland?" Huo Jinyu asked.

"I want to go back to see my poor brother. By the way, arrange some things." Yan Xi replied.The heir to the Northern Kingdom's throne has to be cultivated.

"Xi'er, I haven't been to this northern country yet, why don't I return to the northern country with you this time." Huo Jinyu blinked at Yan Xi, eyes full of hope.

"Of course." Yan Xi nodded Huo Jinyu's head, "Naughty."

Therefore, it was on the agenda for the two to return to the Northland.
