Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 500

"These Jin Ge people are too hateful, how can they do such things as burning, killing and looting?" Ze Fenglin was filled with righteous indignation. He only heard that the Jin Ge cavalry were brave and good at fighting, but never knew that they had a brutal side.

"They are barbarians. They only know how to bully poor people like us. If the emperor issues an imperial decree to crush their tribe, it will not be enough to make up for the hatred in our hearts." The old man clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"If there is a war, more people will suffer. The emperor loves the people very much, so he sent the prince to make a marriage." Ze Fenglin said truthfully. He heard that the emperor was very reluctant to send the fourth prince to make a marriage. The concubine is insane, and Shen Yixuan will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being sent to get married.

"I heard that marriage is just a tactic to slow down the war. It is widely rumored among the people that our dynasty is empty of national strength and has no strength to fight again. Otherwise, if we follow the practice of our Great Zhou Dynasty in the past, how dare Jin Ge be so arrogant?" The old man's eyes were full of anger. He couldn't forget the scarlet scene in front of him, he closed his eyes slightly as the flames were burning, and felt that he was deeply in a dream and couldn't extricate himself.

"Great Zhou's fortunes are prosperous, why are there still rumors that our national strength is empty?" Ze Fenglin didn't understand why there had been rumors that the Great Zhou was not good.

The emperor obviously chose to send his beloved son to Jin Ge for marriage in order not to trap the people in dire straits, but the people said that he had no courage to fight.

"The emperor has not sent troops to attack the barbarians for a long time. The border cities are often provoked by cavalry, and the guards are also ventilating up and down. Damn... just turn a blind eye and pretend not to care." The more the old man said, the more excited he became. , almost swearing to vent his anger.

"Don't be excited and have something to say." Ze Fenglin signaled him to keep his voice down, he was afraid that if Concubine Zhuang heard it, he would worry about Shen Yichen's future.

"This marriage is a disgrace to Da Zhou." The old man shook his head helplessly, even if the facts are as he guessed, so what?The matter of the marriage has been settled and there is no possibility of changing it.

"Don't say such outrageous things anymore. Your Majesty is wise. We mortals can't understand what he thinks." Ze Fenglin immediately advised him not to talk nonsense.

"Why? The facts are not allowed to be stated?" The old man stared at Ze Fenglin with sideways eyes.

"If you want to do this again, don't follow us. You can easily cause trouble for us by speaking out." Ze Fenglin regretted taking him on the road.

"Don't be angry, official. I forgot that you are also an official. You have offended me a lot." The old man smiled and apologized to Ze Fenglin.

"I just remind you once, if you say something disrespectful to the emperor and the Great Zhou Dynasty again, don't blame me for sending you to the magistrate for accountability." Ze Fenglin said righteously, he would not allow such nonsense people around him .

"Don't be angry, my lord, how dare I ask you to take any important position?" The old man carefully observed his words and expressions.

"How do you know I'm an official?" Ze Fenglin obviously put away his armor and changed into ordinary civilian clothes.

"I've always been very accurate in seeing people. You can tell by looking carefully." The old man smiled meaningfully. Seeing that all the people in this group were dressed in fancy clothes, he naturally knew that their identities were unusual.

"What? Do you know how to meet people or tell fortune-telling? Can't you just try to trick me?" Ze Fenglin looked at the old man full of doubts.

"No, no, it's just that I've been talking about Xiaowei and I just now. I don't know anything about you, Guanye!" The old man didn't expect to be misunderstood by others, as if he deliberately approached this passerby to inquire about news.

"Don't you know how to judge people? Why should I say more?" Ze Fenglin didn't want to reveal his identity.

"Which sentence did I say wrong just now, offending the official?" The old man timidly asked.

"Tell me about Xiaowei when you have time, and then ask someone to help you find it. When your grandparents and grandchildren are reunited, you can go back to Qiuchi to live a stable life." Ze Fenglin didn't want to quarrel with the old man. Unhappy, maybe I chatted too much with him, making the other party mistakenly think that he is easy to talk to.

"Thank you for your trouble, sir. If you can find Xiaowei, I can make you a cow or a horse." The old man wished he could kneel down for Ze Fenglin immediately and serve him beside him.

"Since you came out of Qiuchi, are you familiar with the way back?" Ze Fenglin suddenly thought of this, maybe the old man can be the guide to take them to Qiuchi, and there will naturally be someone Contact them and lead them to Jinge.

"I'm quite familiar with this road. Even if it's rainy, I can still tell the direction." The old man patted his heart to assure him.

"That's good, you take us to Qiuchi first." Ze Fenglin wanted to observe the old man's words and deeds again, and if he was still suspicious, he wanted to send him back to Qiuchi.

"Chou Chi City is still occupied by Jin Ge, wouldn't it be dangerous for the official and his party to go there?" The old man didn't dare to inquire any more, for fear that if he said something wrong, the official would be displeased, and he would throw himself halfway. In the place beyond the store, if there are more beasts or bandits, he might not have the chance to find his grandson again.

"You don't have to worry about this, just show us the way." Ze Fenglin was not familiar with the way to Qiuchi, so it was a blessing from God to meet someone who knew the way.

"My lord, what's your surname?" the old man asked politely.

"My surname is Zhuang." Ze Fenglin's surname is very special. He originally wanted to say that his surname was Duanmu, but he was afraid that Concubine Zhuang would ask her if she heard it. .

"Master Zhuang, my surname is Wang." The old man saw that Ze Fenglin asked himself differently, so he had to take the initiative to tell his surname.

"Yes, I see." Ze Fenglin said thoughtfully.

"Then dare to ask Madam's surname?" The old man continued to ask.

"My wife is also surnamed Zhuang. We come from the same place. There are few people in that city, and almost all of them are surnamed Zhuang." Ze Fenglin made up stories on his own. In order to conceal a fact, he had to use more stories to cover it up.

"It's really an anecdote. There is such a strange city. I have only heard that people from the same village have the same surname, but I have never heard of people with the same surname in the same city." The old man said doubtfully.

"But your surname is Wang, don't you have ancestors who have made great achievements in your ancestors?" Ze Fenglin remembered that the surname Wang was very rare.

"I have no father or mother. I have no clues to find the root. I don't even know if my surname is correct." The old man's face was full of regret.

"Can this rain alleviate the drought?" Ze Fenglin could see that the old man was a person who depended on the sky, and he couldn't stop revealing this in his words.

"According to my experience in farming, the heavy rain will come after a few days of light rain, and then the drought will be restrained." The old man said confidently. His ability to read the weather from clouds is more accurate than the face and character of people. a little.

The old man shared with Yingjie, and he couldn't bear to think about the past few years, and he was afraid that he would not wait.
