When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 159 Always Stand By Her Side

The wind in the mountains was a bit biting, and it made goose bumps on people's bodies.

Lin Heng followed her gaze.

The man was lying on the ground, blood was flowing from his wound, and the weeds on the ground were soon dyed black.

"Have you seen his movement?" Cheng Muqing asked, "He is very agile, a bit like a palace guard. But just now, he was standing among the people and booing. He praised everything that looked like a king, and then belittled us ..."

Lin Heng's eyelashes trembled slightly.

He wanted to slander his innocence.

"That's right," he said.

"Does it seem to you that everything I do is right?" Cheng Muqing covered her lips with a smile, "It's impossible for a person to do the right thing all the time. Ah Heng... I also make mistakes sometimes."

"I believe you, even if you make a mistake, you will correct it immediately." Lin Heng put his arms around her waist, lowered his head slightly, and pressed it against her forehead.

"That's not necessarily true." Cheng Muqing looked at him with a smile.

"I will always stand by your side." Lin Heng said softly, "No matter what you do, I will support you."

The sky was clear and the rain cleared.

The mountain air is as fresh as mint.

"Thank you." Cheng Muqing closed his eyes, embraced him, and rested his head on his shoulder.

……

Like a king's tent.

Zhen Chenggong was imprisoned in a tent. He was lying on a straw mat, his eyes fixed on the ceiling.

The tent is poorly furnished, like a prison cell.Is there the sound of rain dripping down the tent on the ground outside the house?

tick-tock-

I don't know what happened to the people?

Can they escape this disaster smoothly?
Zhen Chenggong was upset and turned over on the couch.

In the dark night, the guard at the door handle stood upright.

Lanterns hung on the sides of the tent, casting a soft, sleepy glow.

Zhen Chenggong couldn't fall asleep, and when he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a brisk and powerful voice from the ground.

Before he could hear what it was, two more vigorous melee sounds came from behind the door.

He looked at the door vigilantly, stood up little by little, and hid under the table.

Soon, the camp tent was opened, and three men in night suits appeared.

who are they?Bandits?Zhen Chenggong's heart beat faster.Unexpectedly, in his lifetime, he could still see bandits?
"Master Zhen, let's go."

The leading man in black stepped forward in two or three steps and grabbed his forearm.

"Hey! You..." Zhen Chenggong was about to ask "Who are you?" when the man in black said——

"It's me, Cao Da."

"Cao...Master Cao?" Zhen Chenggong was stunned, but this still lowered his psychological defense a lot.He staggered and followed him away.

Outside the tent, it was pitch black.

Zhen Chenggong couldn't see the way clearly, so he could only follow Cao Da and feel his way forward.

"Lord Cao... You are quite skilled, can you kill the guards in the palace?" Even though Zhen Chenggong kept his voice down, it was not difficult to hear the surprise in his words.

"Where is it that I can reach out well? It's because my two guards are amazing."

Zhen Chenggong glanced at the other two men in black, "I have never encountered such a powerful guard..."

"Then I'll give you both of mine." Cao Da said politely.

"No, no." Zhen Chenggong shook his head again and again.

Cao Da had already figured out the route of the camp and the fortification situation of various places.He took Zhen Chenggong all the way forward, and after walking for a while, he left the camp set up by Wang Si.

"I see that the situation on the other side of the dam is not very good. Let's go up the mountain." Cao Da suggested.

"Ah... good..." Zhen Chenggong nodded subconsciously, his eyes rolled around uncontrollably.

Outside the camp, there was a man in black waiting with two batches of mules.

Although mules are not as fast as horses, they are good enough to ride some.

Zhen Chenggong and Cao Da each went up a batch.

"Where are the people?" Zhen Chenggong asked while sitting on the mule.

"After I heard the news you sent, I immediately asked the girl named Xiaohua to find Princess Qi. Now, [-]% of the people have been detained on the mountain by His Royal Highness Qi Wang." Cao Da briefly described.

"Eighty percent? And the common people..."

"There are still people who are willing to follow the king." Cao Da took his words and sighed heavily.

"A group of fools..." Zhen Chenggong muttered, "Who is saving them. I don't know."

"That's all." Cao Da comforted, "We are for the people, and we don't want them to worship us and praise us."

Zhen Chenggong opened his mouth, and just about to say something, he closed it again.

He shook his head helplessly, "Also..."

……

It is much colder on the mountain than below, especially in the dark, humid and gloomy mountains.

Cheng Muqing stayed here, even bringing the cloak he wore in autumn.

Time flew by, and not long after Cheng Muqing sealed everyone in the cave, the sky cleared up.

This sunny day lasted for two days, these two days, the weather was clear and cloudless.

The side of the dam remained the same, and the disgust and distrust of Qi Wang and his wife suddenly doubled.

Within a few days, the sky began to rain again, and it was raining heavily.

The rain in the mountains is fine and long, falling into the water and converging into rivers.

The land is peaceful, and the trees on the high mountains are irrigated by the rain, and they grow more luxuriantly.

Looking around, the mountains and plains are all green.

There is a layer of white water mist in the forest, which sets off the mountain forest into a fairyland.

The years are quiet and peaceful.

In the past few days, Cheng Muqing could always hear people talking about her behind her back, saying everything.

"Why hasn't the dam collapsed today~ I'm so hairy from waiting."

"This dam must be broken. If it is not broken, whoever has to break it."

"Yeah~ I think we should take it easy. Isn't there someone more anxious over there?"

Since childhood, Cheng Muqing has been said a lot of bad things because of his martial arts practice.

Logically speaking, she should be able to face these rumors calmly.But... Hearing those, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, what she is doing now is for their sake.

Lin Heng could see that she was in a bad mood these past few days, so he stayed by her side every day.

He was not good at what to say, so he silently stayed by her side.

The rain hit the green leaves with a crackling sound.

Cheng Muqing was wearing a coir raincoat and stood outside the frozen entrance, letting the drizzle wash her clothes.

"Aren't you going in?" Lin Heng stood beside her holding an umbrella.

He tilted his umbrella slightly to cover Cheng Muqing.However, most of his body was wet.

"No." Cheng Muqing hugged his arm holding the paper umbrella with both hands, playing with his slender fingers.

His hand holding the umbrella handle is extraordinarily slender and white, giving people a pleasing feeling.

"What are you thinking?" Lin Heng asked.

"Thinking about the dam..." Cheng Muqing muttered, "Will it really collapse?"

"A while ago, Cao Da and Zhen Chenggong both said that...it can't be wrong." Lin Heng said.

"Oh..." Cheng Muqing turned sideways slightly.

Behind her is Shan Dong who was looking for with Cao Da before.

In the cold, all people are common people.

The people looked at her with complicated eyes.

A woman stood up suddenly, and ran out of the room with strides.

"Om-"

It was the sound of weapons clashing.

A woman wanted to leave, but was stopped by two guards from Dongkou.

"Is there any law for the king! There is not enough food, so we are not allowed to go out and dig some wild vegetables!" The woman knelt on her knees and burst into tears.

Cheng Muqing frowned, "There is enough food for now."

She deliberately brought all the food up the mountain.

Hundreds of people in the freeze looked at her with more or less disdain in their eyes.

Because there are still mulberry seedlings at the foot of the mountain, this group of people is very eager to go down the mountain.

Cheng Muqing understood their feelings, but what happened on the other side of the dam, and now it was raining, it was too dangerous for them to go down the mountain.

"You say enough is enough!" The woman's cheeks were sunken, her face was sallow, and her face was full of doubts, "Ha~ you are enough, since you were born, you have eaten the blood of our common people! If we did not hand in the food, How can you be so big? You royal family members, when you pay your taxes every day, you are the first to think of us... when you are big fish and big meat, but you don’t remember! The salaries you enjoy and the rewards you get, there is nothing like our common people One copy?"

Lin Heng was taken aback.

Hearing this, Cheng Muqing couldn't bear it, "Forget it, let her pick wild vegetables."

The guard stepped aside.

The woman walked out of the frozen mountain slowly, with her head down, like a walking dead.

She staggered, and her steps were a little fluttering.

Just as she walked to the two of them, the woman suddenly bumped into Cheng Muqing.

Before he had time to think about it, Lin Heng stepped forward to stop him, not wanting that the woman was so strong that she pushed him away.

Lin Heng felt that his feet were empty, but he actually rose into the air?

He heard the wind whistling past his ears, and glimpsed the bottomless cliff behind him.

Just when he thought he was sure to die, someone grabbed his forearm the next moment.

He thought it was Cheng Muqing, and it was an old woman who didn't want to catch him.

The old woman had a ferocious face, she swung Lin Heng aside with a flick of her arms.

But she took Lin Heng's place instead.

She slipped and fell into the cliff.

Lin Heng was still in shock, he staggered towards the cliff.

At the bottom of the cliff, there are clouds and mist, and the white mist covers everything.

In the still air, there was a sound of sensual stones colliding with each other and bones breaking.

Lin Heng's breathing was stagnant, and his legs were a little weak, and he knelt on the ground.

Cheng Muqing had already controlled the woman, she sent Cui Huwei to watch over her, and walked slowly to Lin Heng's side.

"Heng..."

"Why?" Lin Heng looked up at her, eyes full of disbelief, "Why? She is... why?"

Cheng Muqing opened his mouth, his throat was a little blocked.

"My mother must have regarded you as her grandson..." A couple stepped forward, they supported each other, with tired faces on their faces.

Lin Heng remembered that a few days ago, he met an old woman by chance, and the old woman recognized him as her grandson.

It was the old woman who had just saved herself.

Aren't these two in front of you the same couple?

Cheng Muqing was beside Lin Heng, facing the cliff, prostrating.

Lin Heng was a little numb, his brain still hadn't turned around.

"Why save me? I'm not her own grandson..." He muttered.

"Heng." Cheng Muqing gently stroked his back, "Sometimes, there is no reason...she treats you as her grandson and sacrifices herself to save you. This is family affection...family affection is the most unreasonable..."

Family?
Lin Heng felt that it was absurd. He would feel the emotion he had never experienced before in a stranger.

"There are all kinds of people in the world. Each of them is unique. Living in this world, they should all live well." Cheng Muqing put his hand on the back of his hand, "Ah Heng, as the king of Qi...you want to do this for these The common people seek stability and happiness."

"Let more people be happy..."

Lin Heng looked at her little by little.

"That's right~ not only because life is priceless and precious. Another point is that as members of the royal family, we enjoy the salaries they provide, so naturally we also think about them."

Lin Heng was silent.

In the past, he always thought, just protect her.

As long as she is safe and sound, he doesn't care about anything.

Now, he was at a loss.

The group of people behind him all have families, children, and parents.he
We should be harmonious and beautiful, and live a good life in the ups and downs.

It shouldn't be like now, displaced.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a thought hit his brain directly.

He wants the world to be peaceful and the people to live in peace.

Cheng Muqing felt that he was holding her hand instead, and she added some strength to hold him back.

"I'll be with you." Cheng Muqing, "Although these victims don't agree with us, I believe we can survive."

"En." Lin Heng nodded heavily.

He got up slowly.

The people in the cave desperately wanted to escape.

Cheng Muqing directly picked up the red-tasseled gun from Jinxi's hand, pointed at the group of victims, "Go back!"

Her voice was sharp and penetrating.

"You...you temptress!"

Some even boldly said, "You are putting us under house arrest!"

"House arrest or life, which one do you want?" Cheng Muqing said with a serious face, "It's just a few days. If there is nothing wrong with the dam, you can still go down the mountain and continue planting mulberries. If there is something wrong, you will save your life. I believe, who It won't be a few days away..."

"How could it not be bad!"

Some people yelled, "Do you know how much food we need now? We rely on this mulberry for food!"

"You all sound like kings, why don't you believe... grow your own food? I believe you are not idiots, you grow mulberry just because you dare not resist the king!" Cheng Muqing said, "Why don't you dare to resist? Just Because he built a dam for you and built a house for you? The dam was funded by the state, and the house was also built by you.”

Everyone fell silent immediately.

"King Qi and I are thinking of you, but you don't believe it." Cheng Muqing sighed, "Since you don't believe it, then you all go down the mountain."

On one side of her body, her eyes were sharp.

The air froze for a moment, and after a while, several people stood up one after another and walked down the mountain.

"Let's go! What are you doing here? Don't you care about Sang Miao?"

Among the people who left, someone said.

Those who stayed behind showed embarrassment.

"Princess Qi stopped us like this...it should be for our own good, right?"

A woman spoke cautiously.

"For our own good, but also to hurt others?"

He was referring to the woman who had just attacked Lin Heng. This woman was being pressed down by Cui's guard, and her face was still scratched.

The people gathered in one place were a little hesitant. They were eager to go down the mountain to cultivate mulberry seedlings, but also worried that what Cheng Muqing said would come true.

"Everyone present."

Cheng Muqing said, "If you want to leave, go down the mountain. Believe me, if you stay, the food will definitely be enough!"

Discussions came from among the crowd, and some people had already started to walk down the mountain.

"That……"

Among the people who stayed where they were, someone said timidly, "How long are we going to stay here?"

"Five days." Cheng Muqing said, "After five days, if the flood does not come, I will personally send you down the mountain and subsidize all your losses!"

As soon as these remarks came out, the people who had just been walking down the mountain retreated back.

Cheng Muqing didn't know whether they believed in him, or whether they believed in him or not, it was only for money.

But if you can stay for five days, then stay for five days...
