Chapter 56 Meeting the Disaster
"Are you the leader of the group of disaster victims outside?" Mu Yunting looked at Guo Ming with dark eyes and asked.
"The grass people are."
"Get up first."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Why did you take the disaster victims to do this?"
Guo Ming knew what Mu Yunting meant and replied, "Caomin did this to survive again. How can people survive without food?"
"Is this the way you use to ask for food from the passing caravans?"
"Yes."
"I think you must have succeeded many times, otherwise you would not have used this method again and again to get food and fodder."
"That's how it is." Guo Ming did not deny what Mu Yunting said.
"Ye-huh, you also know what's the use of these grains brought by my palace."
"The grass people know, but the grass people are also disaster victims and need relief." When Guo Ming said this, there was this expectation in the bottom of his eyes. There has been no caravan passing by this road for so many days, and they have not eaten for so many days.
"The food and fodder for disaster relief are limited. If I give you the current food and fodder, the food and fodder we bring will be reduced."
"Grassman is a man who can still hold on for some time, but many of them are afraid that if there is no food, they can't survive!" Guo Ming, who remembered that his wife and daughter were starving to death because of this drought, felt an indescribable pain in his heart.
Mu Yunting frowned and meditated. Now there is still a long way to go to the hardest-hit area. If such a situation happens again on the way, won't they have any food left when they arrive at the destination?
"Your Highness, these disaster victims are also pitiful. If possible, give them some food." Shen Yujuan couldn't help saying that she really didn't want the victims to stay with them like this, and she was even more afraid that those victims would follow them all the time.
"Du Ze, pass on the order of my palace and put half of the food down to them. I can only put so much in this palace. After you take the food, you will leave immediately, but do you understand? Mu Yunting could see that Guo Ming was a man who kept his promise. He believed that if he gave him food, he would definitely take people away.
"His Royal Highness, Cao Min will definitely leave with people." He was very happy to hear that Mu Yunting gave Guo Ming grain. Although he only gave half a truck of grain, it was a great gift for those who had not eaten a grain of rice in a few days.
The most seriously affected by the drought this time is the Zhenbei District. There are several large towns in the Zhenbei District. From the imperial city to the Zhenbei, they have to pass through two cities, one is Tucheng and the other is the night city, but these two cities are relatively small.
Before Mu Yunting left the imperial city, he had told Mu Yunchen that he bought grain and grass and shipped it to Tucheng and Night City, so that some disaster victims who fled abroad could get relief.
"You go to Tucheng and Night City, which can give you a place to settle down."
"The people understand." Before that, Guo Ming admired the brave and resourceful prince of Fengyun Kingdom. If he could serve in front of the prince in his life, he would have no regrets, but he would never have thought that he would meet Mu Yunting under such circumstances.
"Ye-huh, Du took him down to get the food and left immediately." A lot of time has been wasted this morning. He can't waste time like this.
"Yes."
After dealing with everything, Mu Yunting's team set out again.
"Speed up the journey and be sure to arrive at the original time." If they are delayed for too long on the road, they will only have less and less food and fodder when they arrive at the north of the town.
"Mother, I felt terrible when I saw the disaster victim just now!" Fei Yun thought that Guo Ming, who had just seen in the tent, felt uncomfortable all over his body. If they arrived in the disaster area, did they say that people like that could be seen everywhere?
"Well..." Shen Yujuan, sitting in the carriage, answered absent-mindedly. She was also scared when she saw Guo Ming, but what she is worried about now is not the disaster victims, because she now understands that Mu Yunting will not let people hurt her anyway.
What she is worried about now is that on the way to Mu Yunting's tent in the morning, she heard what the imperial doctors they brought said, the problem of the plague in the disaster area. This plague is not a disaster victim, and it can be dissipated anyway. As long as the plague is infected, it will be fatal.
The disaster victims who can still escape now have slowly fled out. Those who can't leave can't go at all?
"Ah, why is this car shaking so much?" Before they had left for a long time, Feiyun felt that his carriage was shaking more and more.
"What's going on? Why is this car shaking so much? If you hurt the crown princess, you know what the crime is!" Fei Yun went forward and opened the curtain and said to the man angrily.
"Daes, damn it, please forgive me. His Royal Highness ordered to speed up the trip, and I can't do it." The soldier who was driving looked at Feiyun with some fear and said.
"Cai Yun, that's all. It's useless for you to embarras him. I think Your Highness wants to hurry up."
"Pay attention to it, the Empress is kind and doesn't condemn you, but the Empress bumped into it to see how you explain to His Royal Highness." After saying that, Fei Yun put down the curtain and sat back in the carriage.
"His Royal Highness should have been in the court, but why did he come to these places with nothing to do? Feiyun really doesn't understand!" When Fei Yun said this, there was obvious resentment in his tone.
"Fiyun, shut up!" Shen Yuhuan, who was still closing her eyes and listening to Fei Yun's words, suddenly opened her eyes and scolded angrily.
"I know what's wrong!" Fei Yun, who realized that he had said something wrong, quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake.
"You have been with me for so many years. You should know what you should say and what you shouldn't say. Do you still need me to teach you?"
"Yes, I understand, I deserve to die!"
"Oi, get up. You should pay attention to it in the future, otherwise I can't save you if something happens in the future." After saying that, Shen Yuhuan glanced at Feiyun coldly.
"Yes, yes, I understand!"
"Get up if you understand."
After Feiyun got up, he sat back to his seat in peace.
After leaving the city gate, Xie Zhiruo and Tang Si accelerated their speed and rushed forward, trying to catch up with Mu Yunting's team quickly.
It's only half a day. Xie Zhiruo, who was sitting in the carriage, already felt that she was going to be shocked by the carriage.
"This ancient carriage is really not easy to sit in..." Xie Zhiruo muttered and moved her buttocks back to the seat in the carriage again. She didn't know how many times she had been thrown down.
"Do..."
"Ah!" Suddenly, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Xie Zhiruo hit the wall of the car, which made her dizzy.
"What's wrong with Mr. Tang?" Xie Zhiruo rubbed the painful elbow and lifted the curtain to ask.
"I felt the heavy and messy footsteps in front of me." Tang Si deftly jumped off the carriage and squatted down and listened gently with his ears close to the ground.
Xie Zhiruo followed him out of the carriage, looked at Tang Si after standing up and asked, "What did Mr. Tang hear?" When Tang Si told her that he felt the sound of footsteps, he felt very magical. Unexpectedly, he didn't see anything and knew that there was someone not far away?
"Go to the carriage first, and there are still a lot of people coming to us." Tang Si's eyes became serious. This was the first time that Xie Zhiruo saw his serious appearance after she came into contact with Tang Si. Although she saw an easy-to-faced face, she could still feel it clearly, so she didn't dare to ask more and climbed into the carriage.
After watching Xie Zhiruo get into the carriage, Tang Si also quickly jumped into the carriage. The whip in his hand was towards the buttocks of the horse in front of him, and the carriage began to move again.
Xie Zhiruo, who was sitting in the carriage, unconsciously felt a trace of nervousness. When she escaped from Zhaoyang Palace, she also thought that she would encounter one or another difficulty on the way, but at this time, she was still subconsciously afraid.
The carriage was relatively fast at the beginning, but slowly Xie Zhiruo could feel that the carriage slowed down.
Xie Zhiruo, who kicked a little in her heart, lifted the curtain and looked out. What she saw was the disaster victims who kept walking in the direction they came.
"The footsteps I just heard were those of these disaster victims. They should have fled. I was too vigilant just now." Tang Si said a little embarrassedly that he just thought he had met a mountain bandit or something.
"It's good to be able to escape, but if they leave their hometown where they have lived for so many years, they must feel more uncomfortable than anyone else." Xie Zhiruo looked at the disaster victims who walked in front of her with pity and said.
"Strange, what are these disaster victims carrying?" Tang Si looked at the disaster victims who passed in front of him and said curiously.
"Hm?"
"Look at the people walking in this team carrying big bags, it won't be food, right?" Tang Si muttered in surprise as if he had thought of something.
"Food? Where should the victims find food at this time? Xie Zhiruo looked at the men carrying food bags and said in surprise.
"Hm? What do you seem to have written on those bags? If he is not mistaken, this group of disaster victims should have met Mu Yunting and others. It is estimated that the food came from them.
"Will they meet Mu Yunting's team?" This idea quickly crossed Xie Zhiruo's mind.
"Girl, you are also a bold person. You actually call the name of the prince of the dynasty, but I, Tang Si, like you to be so bold! Hahahaha..."
"Uh..." She just habitually said so. She forgot that she was now in the world of absolute monarchy...
"When this group of disaster victims pass by, we will speed up our journey. I believe we will catch up with them soon."
"Ye-huh." Will she see him soon... I feel a little uneasy. Will he blame himself for escaping from Zhaoyang Palace without permission...
The disaster victims they met were the group of disaster victims led by Guo Mingsuo. Looking at them, they really listened to Mu Yunting's words and rushed to Night City and Tucheng.
After the disaster victims passed by, the two then got into the carriage and continued on their way.
Xie Zhiruo wanted to sleep in the carriage all the way, but because Tang Si drove too fast, she couldn't sleep in the car at all. So when Tang Si told her that if they could catch up with Mu Yunting in another two hours, Xie Zhiruo was already shocked in the car.
It's not wrong that she wants to get to Mu Yunting's side as soon as possible, but she doesn't know if she can hold on any longer. Her body is really uncomfortable.
The sky has gradually darkened, and the temperature in the suburbs is much lower than in the city, but fortunately, she thought of this and bought some thick clothes before leaving, otherwise she didn't know how to die.
"In the daytime, I have seen the traces of Mu Yunting's stationing. They should have speeded up today, otherwise we can catch up with them now. Are we going to rest tonight or continue to be on our way? It doesn't matter if I'm a big man, but what you say is a weak woman, such as I can't stand it when I'm on my way." Tang Si stopped the carriage and said.
When he lifted the curtain, he saw Xie Zhiruo leaning on the carriage seat. Her hair was a little messy. For a moment, he really didn't know what to say.
"Hum, let's take a break and get on our way." No matter how tired she is, she will catch up with him before he arrives in the disaster area.
Tang Si shrugged his shoulders helplessly, which was really persistent.
"Oc. As long as you think it's okay, I'll accompany you to the end." After all, he has always been active at night, and now he just lets him travel at night, which is a piece of cake for him.
"Let's eat some dry food first. I'm very hungry after a day." With that, Xie Zhiruo took out the dry food she bought and handed it to Tang Si.
"Well, if I were you, I would go to eat some game. This dry food is hard, and it's really hard to swallow!" Tang Si, who took over the tough steamed bun, said with emotion.
Xie Zhiruo felt very guilty when she heard Tang Si say that. Although she knew that Tang Si didn't have to protect her or something to go all the way with her, he did help herself a lot when she was with Tang Si. If she was alone, she didn't know that she would go to the end of the monkey.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Tang..."
"What did you say to me that I'm sorry? What's wrong with me, Tang Si? Girl, I, Tang Si, am with you. That's just a way. I said that if something happens to me on the way, I will leave.
"Yes, Zhiruo knows, but Zhiruo still needs to thank Mr. Tang."
"You can think whatever you want. I can't control that much."
"Ye, Mr. Tang will always be Zhiruo's benefactor and friend."
Hearing the words, Tang Si's eyes flashed, but because Xie Zhiruo didn't see it secretly at night.
"Since you regard me as a friend, don't say so many useless words. After eating, we can hurry. I believe it won't be long before you can catch up with the person you miss."
"Ye-huh, Zhi Ruo knows."
In ancient times, there were no lighting tools except for moonlight and torches, so compared with daytime travel, it was much more difficult to travel at night, because people could not see what was in front of them.
The two torches that Tang Si lit were inserted into the front end of the driver's seat.
"It's not easy to walk at night, so you have to hurry up in the car."
"Yes." Even if she is not on her way at night, she grasps very tightly when she is in the car!
Mu Yunting's team here has been in the camp. After a day's journey, everyone is already very tired, so the team is very quiet.
"Your Highness, I'm very tired after a day's trip today. It's better to rest earlier. I think I'll be able to get to the north of town tomorrow." Shen Yuyan came forward to untie Mu Yunting's cloak and said softly.
There is a trace of fatigue on Mu Yunting's cold and resolute face. It's really easy to make people unable to travel like this.
"You're tired, aren't you?"
"How can you feel tired when you sit in a carriage all day?" Shen Yuyan gently wiped Mu Yunting's face and hands with a hot towel.
"It's really hard for you to accompany me."
"As long as you can be around Your Highness, you will not be afraid of anything. It is what you should do to go to the disaster area with Your Highness to help the disaster victims."
A soft light flashed from the bottom of Mu Yunting's eyes and hugged Shen Yuhuan into his arms. It's me who made you wronged.
"I have never felt wronged..."
Before Shen Yuhuan finished speaking, Mu Yunting suddenly picked up Shen Yuhuan and wanted to walk to the bed in the tent.
"Your Highness..." Shen Yuhuan called in panic for a moment and was shocked by Mu Yunting's sudden action.
Mu Yunting pulled out a smile from the corners of his mouth. At these times, the Japanese palace is really aggrieved. With that, Mu Yunting put Shen Yuyan in **, and then the whole body bullied her.
The warm breath sprayed on Shen Yujuan's neck, and Mu Yunting was right. Since Xie Zhiruo married in Zhaoyang Palace, I don't know if it was a coincidence or something. Since then, Mu Yunting has become more and more busy, and almost no one can be seen.
I can't even see anyone, let alone the intimate act between them. At the beginning, Shen Yujuan thought that Mu Yunting had gone to Xie Zhiruo's place, but her people came to report that Mu Yunting was often not in the house, which made her feel a little heart for Xie Zhiruo, but deep in her heart. Thank you, Zhi, for those who have to get rid of it.
Mu Yunting gently bit Shen Yuyan's earlobe, put it in his mouth, and said full of **, "I miss you so much, but I also miss you?"
Shen Yujuan has not experienced love affairs for a long time. Now she is teased by Mu Yunting and feels that her body is gradually starting to heat up, and her breathing has become a little short.
"Your Highness, is it good for Your Highness to be like this? Your Highness, it's better to rest earlier after a tiring day. Shen Yuwen wanted to refuse and whispered, and her words were full of concern for Mu Yunting.
"After finishing business, you can spend some time busy with personal affairs..." With that, Mu Yunting's big palm slowly leaned into Shen Yuhuan's clothes.
Shen Yujuan only felt that there was a cold thing on her body, and her body shivered unconsciously.
