Chapter 122 Lingfeng City
I didn't expect that the CP he was supporting was actually 1v1!
This is really exciting news!
He hurriedly helped Song Chuji put on his clothes and walked out of the tent. Although it was a secret visit, the quality of life could not be reduced.
Looking at the game the guards had hunted early in the morning, Song Chuji frowned and said sullenly, "Why are you preparing these greasy things so early in the morning? Isn't there something lighter?"
He also asked for it?
Don’t you see where we are? We are in the wilderness. There is nothing else except lush vegetation and many animals. It is so difficult to get these food!
"Your Majesty, I say you should just make do with what you have. Once we get into the city, we can find a good inn to stay in, have a good meal, and rest."
Don't be picky now. The Concubine Dowager and the Queen Mother had no meat to eat, and could only eat snacks and dry food to fill their stomachs. There were so many people, and only he and a few ministers had barbecue. What are you still not satisfied with?
Wang Xiaorui was complaining madly in his heart, but he was flattering timidly with his mouth.
Song Chuji thought about it and realized that under special circumstances, he really couldn't be too picky. He reached out his hand and flipped through the meat with disdain and said, "Shuangshuang, do you want to try it?"
"The Queen said she wasn't hungry and has already boarded the carriage."
Very good! It was early in the morning, and there was not even a kiss. He worked hard all night for nothing, but he threw it aside immediately after using it, and didn't even want to look at it.
After eating the meat with great resentment, he returned to his carriage and bumped into the city.
The city was not what one had imagined. Instead, it was filled with starving civilians, fleeing and lying on the ground in all directions. Each of them looked exhausted, and one might faint at the next second.
They were all dressed in bright and fancy clothes, and looked out of place walking on the street.
Nie Shuangshuang held Song Chuji's arm and looked down at the wide-sleeved flowing fairy skirt on her body. It was the most inconspicuous style in the capital, but it was the best here.
Those girls who were so hungry that they couldn't open their eyes didn't even have a decent piece of clothing, let alone fancy clothes. It was really sad to see them.
"Your Majesty, Lingfeng City was once a wealthy place. How did it become like this now?"
Lingfeng City, which once offered so much gold, silver and treasures every year, is now deserted.
Song Chuji didn't say anything, but his stern profile showed his anger.
It’s needless to say, the county magistrate of this place must have embezzled so much good things to bring the people to this state!
Nie Shuangshuang and his group were watched like monkeys.
A little girl ran towards them, covered in mud, and asked curiously, "Where are you all from? Why are you here with so much money and so much clothes?"
"Little boy, how did your place become like this? Can you tell me if there is any help after the flood?"
Nie Shuangshuang gently leaned over and touched the little girl's face, not at all bothered by the fact that she was dirty.
"They all said that the court had given us rewards, but when it came to us, we only had a small bag of rice and noodles to eat for a few days, and the rest was gone. Some people wanted to rebel against the court, but they were beaten to death!"
"Those officials in Lingfeng City are all liars!
They indulge in singing and dancing every day, force the beautiful women in the city to serve them, and live a life of debauchery without caring about the lives of the people at all!
My mother was abducted by them, and my father was beaten to death. My mother served him all night, and the next day the body was carried out from the county magistrate's house!"
Nie Shuangshuang pursed her lips. She knew without thinking what she had been through, these damn beasts!
"Where is the county magistrate's mansion? Can you take us there?"
Are you rebelling against them? You don't even know who is in charge of the world, right?
Song Chuji raised his eyes lazily and said lazily, "Don't worry, let's settle down first!"
Nie Shuangshuang turned around and looked at him in shock.
Although she knew that she shouldn't interfere in state affairs, but... now that she knew about this kind of thing, shouldn't she deal with it immediately?
Nie Shuangshuang couldn't help but look at the little girl. At such a young age, she shouldn't be like this!
"Husband, why don't you give her some money? She is so pitiful!"
The smile on Song Chuji's lips faded a little, "Your husband, I don't have any money on me, let's talk about it later."
After saying that, he glanced at those people indifferently, said nothing, and walked into an inn silently.
The little girl leaned against his back and stretched out into darkness.
Nie Shuangshuang scratched her head in confusion and said, "You go back first. Sister is leaving first."
Then he put a hairpin into the little girl's hand and said, "Use it to buy something delicious."
He turned around and walked in, and the large army behind him followed him in. Concubine Mei had been feeling unwell along the way, and seeing Lingfeng City become like this, she was in a bad mood and hurried back to the inn.
Nie Shuangshuang felt even more empty when she saw that only outsiders like them could afford to stay in this inn.
Song Chuji played with the jade pendant on his waist, looked at her back, and said with a smile, "Shuangshuang, are you blaming me? Do you think I don't care about my people and am cold-blooded?"
Upon hearing this, Nie Shuangshuang lightly ran into his arms and said with a smile, "I just feel sorry for those people. How about asking someone to bring some silver to help them? They are really pitiful!"
Hearing this, Song Chuji smiled and said, "Okay, since both of you want to do it, let's do it."
Song Chuji pushed open the door and said to the guard outside: "Divide the silver!"
The guards had always followed Song Chuji's orders and obeyed his orders, so they followed his instructions and prepared the silver.
He took baskets of silver bills and distributed them to the refugees, just like a rich young man helping the world. The man in black standing on the attic in the distance looked at this scene, sneered, and then started coughing.
"My Lord! It's cold, and you're wearing more clothes!"
The woman stood beside him holding the clothes, her eyes full of ambiguous admiration, cautious flattery and fear. The aura of this man was too dangerous, yet very charming. She had been chasing after him for so long, but she could only feel a little different in his heart.
She knew that there must be someone else in his heart, and she was jealous of that woman for no reason.
It is such a blessing to be cherished by the Lord!
"Xiyan, has the county magistrate of Lingfeng City dealt with it?"
Xi Yan came back to her senses and said, "I have already dealt with it. I will make sure he can't get in the way of your plan!"
I have planned for so long, I can’t give up halfway, I have to hit the target in one go and make a complete comeback!
The man in black nodded and stared in the direction of Nie Shuangshuang, and the aura around him gradually became colder!
