Drawing Crescent Eyebrows: Alluring Zinnia with a Smile

Chapter 273

Mu Cha was all about joking with the two children, but she didn't notice the old man's concern for her, but Qingyou could understand it clearly, and asked playfully, "Why does auntie think that my younger brother is so preoccupied? What's wrong with him?"

The old lady hurriedly said: "The young master's appearance is very good, and I think he will be a dragon and a phoenix material in the future!"

After Mu Cha heard this, he looked up at Qingyou, couldn't help laughing for a while, and then heard Qingyou say: "Old people have a lot of experience and know how to judge people, so I call you old auspicious words." Then, he said to Mu Cha : "The old man is resting, but this child is unsteady, you take them over there and buy some rice cakes and fruits to eat."

"Don't dare, don't dare!" The old man was panicked when he heard this, and quickly pushed back, "I'm really sorry for the two of you, how dare you bother the young master?"

"It's okay, he himself can't sit still, so at this age, he naturally loves to go shopping." Qingyou said, looking at Mu Cha, Mu Cha weighed it in his heart, thinking that he wouldn't be able to go for a long time, Qingyou There should be nothing wrong here, so I simply agreed to her words, turned to smile and said to the old lady: "Don't worry, grandma, my sister will grow up with you here, and I will not kidnap you two treasures." Take it away!"

The old man became even more terrified by what he said, and quickly confessed: "Young master is joking, I don't dare, seeing that you two are not ordinary people, it is our luck to meet you!"

After talking like this, Mu Cha led the two children for a stroll, and bought a lot of food and clothing, and he didn't hesitate to spend half of it.

After they left, there was nothing wrong with being light and quiet, so they talked to the old man, but he felt sorry for the old man with the child, and then asked: "Why do you ask an old man to lead the child out? The father of the two children Where's mother?"

"Hey..." Hearing this, the old man slapped his thigh heavily, and said helplessly, "My two grandchildren are poor children. My daughter-in-law left after she had a daughter. If you say There was a son in the family, who worked as a farmer, and his life was poor but he was able to get by. I didn't think that since three years ago, the most powerful prince who was the most capable of fighting suddenly stayed behind closed doors, which caused a lot of damage to the troops everywhere. Then my son said that he wanted to go to the army camp to help, so he left home, leaving me alone as an old man, and I will take care of my two children to live, I don't know how long I can last day……"

Hearing this, Qingyou was slightly startled, thinking that the 'powerful prince' she mentioned was not Ye Xu, who else could it be?It's just that he never thought that he kept a low profile so much, but he also affected the whole body by pulling a hair, disturbing the peace of people like this, "How is life going now? Are there enough food and clothing?"

"Hey..." The old lady sighed in a deep voice, "Miss looks at this style and she is from a good family. How can I know the suffering of people like us, just make do with it!"

Qingyou felt uncomfortable for a while, and chatted about some trivial matters, and then saw Mu Cha came back with the two children talking but not laughing, and they all had a lot of things in their hands.

"How wonderful! How can I make the young master spend money..." When the old man saw the big and small things in the hands of the two children, he quickly got up, his face was full of panic, and he looked like he couldn't bear it.

But Mu Cha didn't want to talk too much, just looking at the innocence of the two children, he felt a little relieved, and then he only said to the old man: "Grandma, why is there such joy in Chang'an City? Don’t you know that a city wall is separated, but there are endless fights on the battlefield?”

Hearing this sentence suddenly, the old man was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect him to ask such a sentence suddenly, after thinking about it, he laughed again, and said: "You two are not from our Chang'an locals! "

"Yes, we're coming from the east." Mu Cha said as he sat down, quite calmly.

The old man suddenly said: "That's it. The east side is closer to the imperial capital. You two are dressed like this, but it suits you. It's just that you are not from our place, so you don't know what we have always done here." Situation."

Qingyou said: "I'll beg you to enlighten me."

"I don't dare to teach you!" The old man felt disappointed, took the two children who were eager to leave, and said: "Our Chang'an city, when you talk about it, was very glorious in the past, but for a hundred years, wars and chaos But it has become an almost daily occurrence. I can’t say that I can hear the sound of artillery fire outside when I sleep at home. If things go on like this, day after day, I have experienced a lot. The sound of artillery fire has become a common occurrence. People are not afraid anymore. Besides, despite the frequent wars, there is no shortage of food and clothing in Chang'an City. Isn't His Royal Highness King Rong? Our common people are naturally much more at ease, instead of spending the time of observing the New Year at home and living in fear, it is better to live a good life!"

After listening to this explanation, they suddenly realized that they were used to it, but they were not afraid anymore.

"That's true. It's normal to use the daily calendar every day." Mu Cha sighed, and then turned to Qingyou with a helpless smile, "But we are used to living a peaceful life on paper, and when it really comes to such a time, but It really can't compare to the calmness of ordinary generals."

"Miss and Young Master look like they all come from wealthy families. How can they live in the flames of war every day like us? They are all extremely clean people, unbearable, unbearable..." Said With that, the old man waved his hands in a way, clearly feeling the difference between them and heaven and earth.

Qingyou just sighed softly and shook her head slightly, completely disapproving.

People and people are nothing more than differences in origin, and where is the difference in commitment?

Afterwards, they stayed for a while longer before saying goodbye to the passer-by and moving on again.Before leaving, he still gave a lot of his money to the old man, but the old man first refused to accept it, and after talking for a long time, he finally accepted it with great gratitude.

Unknowingly, the hustle and bustle of candlelight in the city gradually faded away, and before they could think about it, the two of them came to Longshouyuan, where there were few houses with lights.

"You should cherish the Juan Daming Palace, there is nothing wrong with Mr. Feng, and the jade mountain will fall to the flowers..." Remembering this sentence, Qingyou felt very melancholy for a moment, shook her head and sighed softly, only seeing the old Daming Palace. The land is now nothing more than an ordinary cottage, but the truth of the impermanence of the world.

Mu Cha looked at the vast expanse of land in front of him that was no longer the glory of the previous Tang Dynasty Palace, and snorted softly, "The Daming Palace was so luxurious in the past, but now it is nothing but a quiet place. Few of them know what happened to the land under their feet."

Qingyou pulled the cloak on her body, and couldn't help thinking about the world today, Youyuan said: "The world today is called Beixia, Xiqi, and Song, and it is said...the three emperor palaces of Xiao, Yihua, and Anning, Which one is not better than Daming by thousands of times, but in the future, after all, they will not be able to escape the trees falling down and the monkeys scattered. After all, all the bricks and tiles will melt into the soil. Shengjing, Yili, Lin'an, what are they? How is it different from Chang'an?"

Following her thoughts, Mu Cha also felt more and more, but instead of thinking about the futility of war like Qingyou, she focused more on the subtleties and the root cause of this war. At that time, the more I didn't understand, human life really has come to such a contemptible point, life, old age, sickness and death have no chance to go through, but you want to kill each other, just for the sake of the vain king of the world?"

After hearing his words, Qingyou's heart trembled, but she felt that the heaviness in his heart may not be all due to the war, so she asked a little cautiously: "What... are you thinking?"

Asking this sentence made him frown, and he said his thoughts freely, "Without the emperor's order, even if Tengsheng dared to make such a dangerous move, the Ci'an army will not obey orders if they don't see the order." of."

From witnessing the situation of the army and seeing what the Ci'an army is doing now, King Chang'an has always been thinking about this matter in his heart.Originally, he thought that his father's desire for this city was mostly due to the villain's maneuvering, coupled with Tengsheng's selfishness, he was able to get to where he is today, but this kind of military deployment made him understand the real reason for the siege of the city.

"No... I don't understand. They say that the generals will not accept the military order abroad. Why..." Qingyou didn't understand the meaning of his words, but there was a chill in her heart, "How could there be such a thing?" Say it?"

"The Ci'an Army is like the Yellow Banner Army in the Great Prosperity Dynasty. Although it is said that there is a marshal of the army, in the final analysis, when it comes to active attacks and military deployment, they only listen to the emperor's own orders." Mu Cha said. As soon as he explained, another layer of the veil of Ci'an Army was unveiled, "If it weren't for the speed of soldiers on the battlefield, I am afraid that every action would require the nod and deployment of the emperor in Yili, and now such a plan will only be the emperor's father. It has already been made up." Then, he looked at Qingyou seriously, "Sister, do you understand?"

This is what he couldn't believe, for this city of Chang'an, his father was actually so unscrupulous, and even preferred to have so many soldiers as abandoned soldiers.

At the moment when she suddenly realized in her heart, Qingyou understood why Mu Cha had such deeds and words, and she couldn't help but feel sore, "No wonder, you said that you know Ci Anjun so well a few days ago. Your father, and the man who led the soldiers." Thinking about it, Qingyou became more and more confused about another thing, "But why? What kind of magic power does this Chang'an City have? Why did Emperor Jiankang insist on it?"
