Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 193 The Sores of Troubled Times

"Grandma, you eat, this is the noodle cake that Diaochan's grandma just gave Yu'er."

Through the low window, Liu Xie saw a little girl surrounded by his window just now, soaking bread in hot water and feeding it to a crippled woman missing a leg.The woman's eyes were confused, and she was trying to identify the little girl in front of her in her cloudy eyes.

Soon, the little girl's care and warmth made the woman show a silly smile. She pushed away the bread from the little girl and brought it to the little girl, humming something, It seems that he has lost his speech function, but he stubbornly let the little girl eat that piece of bread.

However, just as Liu Xie's eyes were moistened by this heart-warming scene, he suddenly saw that the woman's eyes glanced at him.All of a sudden, as if she saw some ferocious beast, the woman suddenly pushed away the little girl in front of her, ran and jumped frantically, curled up desperately, trying to escape to a safe place.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xie wanted to rush in to help the woman, but unexpectedly, Diao Chan behind him grabbed the unsuspecting Liu Xie to the ground.After that, Diao Chan didn't open her mouth to explain, and rushed into the room like the wind, and stuffed a wooden stick into the crazy woman's mouth to prevent her from biting her own tongue in a panic.

The little girl on the side seemed to have experience in this kind of situation, desperately pressed down the excited woman's hand with her body, and shouted at Liu Xie who was lying at the door: "Go away, grandma is afraid of seeing a man from outside! "

Liu Xie who fell on the ground was stunned and didn't realize it. It was the village woman who opened the door for her before and pulled him, so he got up and ran away in a hurry.At this time, the iron eagle swordsmen who heard the sound broke into the village one after another, and drew out their hidden weapons in unison to escort them.

But as a result, the entire village was in chaos, and half of the people in the houses who saw this scene uttered frightened and crazy screams.Shi A didn't know why, so he was about to order the Iron Eagle guards to search house by house, but he heard Liu Xie yell at him in an angry voice: "Get out! Get out of here!"

At this moment, Shi A saw that the young emperor, who had always been proud and had a trace of evil spirit, was so pale that it was frightening.He clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to find a place to vent.But he didn't seem to know who to seek revenge on, so he trembled all over and cursed at Shi A: "Don't you understand my order? Get out!"

Looking at Liu Xie's red eyes that were almost cannibalistic, Shi A saw that this place really didn't look like he could hurt Liu Xie, so he hurried away with Iron Eagle Swordsman.However, he was really surprised: what happened to make such a confident and free emperor so angry all of a sudden?

Liu Xie left with Shi A, but he didn't say a word on the way.Just standing quietly in the cool wind, waiting for Diao Chan to appear.

About half an hour later, Diao Chan finally appeared, she looked very tired.With his right hand still covering the messy thread on his forehead, after seeing Liu Xie standing silently in the wind, he managed to sort out his thoughts reluctantly, and then said to Liu Xie: "It's okay, those people in the village, calm down. gone."

"But my heart can't be quiet." Liu Xie turned around. Diao Chan couldn't see the expression on Liu Xie's face clearly in the dark twilight, but Diao Chan could hear Liu Xie's expression even after half an hour. His voice was still trembling: "Tell me, are those children all orphans of the troubled times? And those women, are they all... suffering people in the armies of various places?"

"Miserable people?" Diao Chan chewed on the term, seeming to be mocking Liu Xie for not daring to face the facts, and bluntly revealed the truth of the matter: "That's right, those women are camp prostitutes who were captured by rebels everywhere. Troubled times are your men's battlefield, but we women and children are the ones who suffer the most. Do you know why there are few old people in those villages? Because those old people know that I can't support too many people, so they all consciously Leave and wait to die!"

"Don't you want to know where all my information comes from? Yes, those information are what these camp prostitutes and refugees bought with their bodies and lives. Regions can block everything, but they can't block the hard-working people." I just gave them a sliver of hope, and they spent their lives trying to pass some information they thought would be useful to my ears."

Speaking of this, Diao Chan seemed to be unable to control her anger anymore, looked at Liu Xie with disgust, and complained: "You men are so arrogant, you never put women in your eyes. As long as we women show a little interest , you can boast all the news you know to women as your own. Hmph, I'm afraid you can't imagine how all the military secrets were leaked, right?"

The more Diao Chan spoke, the more excited she became. The previous scene seemed to have aroused the most fearful and fragile nerves in her heart. She suddenly let go of all her usual faces, and continued to attack Liu Xie viciously, gnashing her teeth as if she wanted to take revenge on Liu Xie. Roared: "The woman you saw was once a camp prostitute under Yuan Shu's army. Do you know why she lost her leg? It was because Yuan Shu rewarded her to a general who was obsessed with her The beautiful and incomparable legs cut off her legs!"

"Now you know that the village does not allow strange men to enter, right?! She was lucky, at least she was good-looking and saved her life. But the other women, who were tired of being played by the soldiers, killed them as Military rations. That is a living human life! What kind of era is this, a chaotic world where people cannibalize people!"

The more Diao Chan talked, the more excited she became, and even started crying and beating Liu Xie.But Liu Xie had learned martial arts from Wang Yue after all, and Diao Chan was in extreme grief and indignation, although he struck hard, he didn't know how to do it.Seeing that Diao Chan could not be cured at all, Liu Xie hugged Diao Chan in his arms and let Diao Chan cry.

What Diao Chan said was true, and Liu Xie knew it.In troubled times, men are not as good as dogs, and women are not as good as men. It is not uncommon for them to be reduced to the playthings of thieves, or to take shelter of the rich, or even to be cooked and eaten.The reason why Liu Xie is unwilling to face all this is because people who traveled from that peaceful era inevitably imagined the troubled times too beautifully.But the cruel reality told him at this moment how cruel the troubled times really are.

"It will be fine, everything will be fine." Liu Xie gently patted Diao Chan, who was already powerless to vent. At this moment, he no longer had the desire to embrace the warmth and beauty in his heart, just like an elder comforting his daughter : "I assure you that your choice is not wrong. Half a year later, there will never be such a tragic scene in the Guanzhong area. After the people are all farming and have land, and Guanzhong is prosperous, I will open a nursing home and a lonely bureau." , the imperial court supports those who have come out of the pain of the war."

Diao Chan didn't reply when she heard the words, she just hugged Liu Xie's waist tightly and rubbed it lightly for a moment.Liu Xie looked at Diao Chan with complicated eyes, but didn't push her away.

It was only when a starlight suddenly appeared in the dark blue sky that Diao Chan seemed to come out of her grief.She slowly withdrew from Liu Xie's arms, wiped her face, and put on a ghostly face again, and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, what you just did just now, does this mean that this slave girl deliberately despised His Majesty?"

"Uh..." Liu Xie blushed, nodded after thinking about it and said, "It seems so, I really suffered a loss."

When Diao Chan heard this, she was so angry that she punched Liu Xie again, but this time it was light and without any strength at all.After beating, Diao Chan's drooping head seemed to have a bright red shyness, she squirmed her delicate lips, and said softly: "If His Majesty can really take care of such poor and poor people in the world, then slave... His Majesty sweeping the collapse with a broom, it's not a bad idea."

Liu Xie was completely dumbfounded now, he looked at Diao Chan's serious eyes, as if he wanted to find the mischievous color he was familiar with in the past.But unfortunately, this time, he found that there was nothing strange in Diao Chan's eyes, and it seemed that he was all in those bright and expectant eyes.

So, at this moment, the eloquent Liu Xie was surprisingly silent.

Afterwards, the anticipation in Diao Chan's eyes quickly disappeared like a meteor falling, and she quickly buried the trace of regret deep in her eyes in her heart.Putting on the previous indifferent expression again, he pretended to be relaxed and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, you don't take it seriously, do you?"

"Hehe, the little boy hasn't grown up yet, so his heart is not small. You'd better go back and marry younger sister Fu back home!" After Diao Chan said this, she walked towards Chang'an City without turning her head. He looked back at Liu Xie.

Liu Xie, who was in the wind, first smiled wryly, then, as if he had figured something out, he really showed his face and showed a beautiful smile.

Although, he didn't know exactly what he was laughing at.
