Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 710
The eunuch knelt down as soon as his legs softened: "Your Majesty... the parachutist, the parachutist has already defeated Jiang Ping..."

The faces of the officials changed, Zhao Deji was completely paralyzed, and muttered: "It's over... It's really over now..."

....................................

The military situation was thrown on the ground, and all the ministers were fighting with each other.

It seems that the Jingkang disaster is repeating itself again.Only this time, the enemy came even faster than Jin Jun.And what they want is not war indemnity, but the continuous capture of Lin'an.

At the same time, the city of Lin'an was also in chaos, with persuasion letters posted everywhere, which clearly stated Zhao Deji's crimes, and called on the soldiers and civilians not to serve this dog emperor any more. .

Such notices are posted every day, and it is too late for the officers and soldiers to clear them up.Even if a large number of suspects are caught every day, it will not help.

And people are panicking and watching.It seems that the parachutist is not preparing to attack Lin'an, but has already arrived in Lin'an.

Jiang Ping.

There were jitters all the way.

With the smoke of war, the people fled after hearing the news.But I don't know where to flee. It is impossible to go north. The two rivers have fallen, which is the territory of the Jin army;

Because of this, many refugees were blocked on the road, and there were many discussions along the way.

"I heard that the parachutist is calling..."

"Didn't the parachutist's team say that houses would not be demolished to death from freezing, and houses would not be robbed to death from starvation?"

"I heard that it was King Yun who led everyone to call. They want to recover Lianghe and Jiangnan..."

"No, I heard that the Jin army in Lianghe has been driven away. Can we go back?"

……

Many of them were forced to flee to the south of the Yangtze River after the fall of Lianghe.All northerners.After more than ten years of stable life, now, another catastrophe?
What awaited them was indeed catastrophe. In order to raise food and wages, the imperial court ordered that each household must pay taxes two years in advance.It's winter now, when there is no harvest, to hand over two years of food and salary at once is tantamount to killing a chicken to get its eggs.The local people in the south were certainly afraid, but those northerners who fled to the south had experienced this kind of blackmail as early as when the Jin army invaded Bianjing.In order to raise huge war indemnities for the Jin Army, the officers and soldiers hunted around and took the opportunity to harass them. Even the homes of the rich were looted, and the poor even sold their sons and daughters.

Unexpectedly, it would happen again, although this time it was not compensation, but the imperial court was calling for military pay.In order to avoid these endless corvees, the common people, with their families and their families, were desperate and complained, but felt that the court was fiercer than a tiger.Zhao Deji is more terrifying than Jin Jun.

In an inn, there were very few people, and all the people ran away. The shopkeeper and a young man stood guard at the door dejectedly.There is neither business nor inventory.

When Qin Dawang and his party entered the door, they yelled several times before the young man came out timidly.But seeing that King Qin was tall and mighty, like a celestial killer, he was very frightened: "Guest...Guest...the shop is no longer in business..."

King Qin glared: "You open a Laoshizi fly restaurant, why don't you do business? But if you have anything to eat, I will come up, and I don't want you a penny..."

Hua Rong saw the little boy trembling with fright, so he said, "Little brother, we are passing by, and we are not picky, but if there is anything to eat, just eat something that can satisfy our hunger." He took out a small piece of silver and handed it over.

For the convenience of walking, Hua Rong also wore men's clothes, but when she spoke, people immediately knew that she was a woman.Seeing that she had a gentle attitude and didn't look like a villain, the boy was relieved.The old shopkeeper hid aside and saw clearly that these days, people are afraid that people will use paper money or copper coins, the world will be chaotic, and the war will cause prices to skyrocket, making them worthless at all. (Note: In the Song Dynasty, Jiaozi was used, and banknotes and the like are today’s banknotes.) But seeing real gold and silver, my eyes lit up, and I immediately came out: "Quick, hurry up and get some food."

The little guy entered the door, and after a while, he brought out a large bowl of black coarse-grain steamed buns, a large bowl of rice porridge, and a large bowl of pickles.Although it's terrible, but in this world, what more big fish and meat can you ask for?It's good to eat something.

King Qin greeted him, and Lu Wenlong took the initiative, and hurriedly served his parents a meal and took the corn bread.I also took a bowl and ate and drank.King Qin and Hua Rong looked at each other and smiled.This child, along the way, is completely like an adult.

"Girl, I think my son is getting more and more sensible."

"Haha, that is, it will be great when Little Tiger Head is so sensible."

Lu Wenlong felt embarrassed when his parents praised him, so he patted his head and continued to eat.King Qin was relieved, but Hua Rong was even more sad. Along the way, although the times were chaotic, King Qin didn't bring any personal followers.For the freedom of the family of three, they all left separately, and the relatives were all waiting in front.However, just like that, she felt safe and at ease.This is the first time in troubled times, I feel at ease, and I don't have to think about my life all the time.All the food, clothing, housing, and transportation along the way were all arranged by King Qin.Husband and son are both skilled in martial arts, which is the best way to save life in troubled times.You don't need yourself for anything, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?
There are only guests at this table, and the old shopkeeper is nagging: "Guest officer, I heard that the parachutist is calling, why do you still want to go south? Go north and escape for your life. To be honest, the little old man's family members have all been sent away. They are hiding in the countryside. In just a few days, they will flee north together."

The common people are always like this, fleeing from the south to the north, and from the north to the south again, never having a peaceful life.

King Qin said: "What are you afraid of when the parachutist comes? He is ten thousand times better than Zhao Deji."

The old shopkeeper was taken aback when he heard such "rebellious" words, but the war was raging, and the common people didn't have much respect for the emperor, so he said: "People say that the parachutist won't demolish the house after freezing to death. Is it real or fake?"

"Of course it is true. I have traveled all the way south, and I have personally seen the cities and villages that the parachutist went through. They are all Qiu Wuwu. I said, old man, you should hide your gold and silver belongings and don't let Zhao Deji's bandit army snatch them away." Now, there is no need to flee, if the parachutist comes, he will never smash your dilapidated restaurant."

The old man was dubious: "Is this true?"

"The parachutist is so famous, do you think it's a bragging? The parachutist has captured so many cities in the past two years, and no one in that city will flee. Doesn't that explain the problem?"

"That's true. My little old man has a relative who opened a fly shop in Liyang Town, and told us to go there to seek refuge. It is said that when the parachutist came, everyone's taxes would be greatly reduced, and life would be easier than before. There are too many. In his restaurant, officers and soldiers used to eat Bawang meals, and it was almost collapsed. Now it’s better, and no one eats Bawang meals anymore. The same is true here, those officials used to come here often Overlord's meal is almost out of order... If the parachutist comes, it would be a good thing to put an end to the overlord's meal..."

Hua Rong just listened quietly.Along the way, she resolutely stopped talking about the parachutist.But, not gloomy either.King Qin was worried that she would be heartbroken, but seeing her chatting and laughing along the way, and her mentality of really traveling with her husband and son, he was a little relieved.

However, the more she was like this, the more worried King Qin became. Is this too abnormal?Not only Lu Wenlong, but even he witnessed how Hua Rong was pushed out of the room by the parachutist.Is it true that it breaks my heart?
He wasn't sure, but he didn't dare to ask her, and he couldn't ask such a delicate question.I wanted to go back to sea early.However, going all the way south like this, the parachutist's news seemed to have grown legs, following him all the time.Follow along from Liyang Town to Jiangping.

Always and everywhere, there are parachutists in my ears.

Even he didn't expect that the parachutist's marching speed was so fast.It is less than a hundred miles from here to Lin'an.Zhao Deji's army has all been suppressed fifty miles away, and it is already very difficult for pedestrians to pass by.For this reason, King Qin had to be very careful.Even though he brought dozens of plainclothes entourages with him, if he confronted Zhao Deji at this time, the consequences would be disastrous.

That night, the family of three rested in the small shop.At night, in the dead of night, King Qin turned over from time to time.It was rare for him to be unable to sleep before, especially when his wife and son were by his side, it was very strange that he was still tossing around like this.It was the first time Hua Rong saw him tossing and turning like this, and she couldn't help but sit up and said in a low voice, "Qin Shangcheng, what are you thinking?"

He laughed: "Girl, you haven't fallen asleep?"

He tossed and turned like this, it was strange that people could fall asleep.Hua Rong shook his head, "There is a pass in front of us that we must pass through. Now the court officers and soldiers are very strict. It will be bad if Zhao Deji sets up some interceptions. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Especially King Qin, he is tall Tall and easily noticeable.In the past, there was no garrison at all, but now there are so many people, how can they pass easily?

"Girl, I think the same way. I'm just thinking about how to bypass this hurdle and avoid Zhao Deji's eyes and ears."

In fact, the easiest way is to wait for the army of parachutists to fight over, once and for all.However, at that time, Hua Rong insisted on leaving, and King Qin was unwilling to go against her wish.

"Then wait until the parachutist calls over."

King Qin was very surprised: "Girl, let's go in a hurry? The parachutist has at least half a month to fight over."

"Of course I'm not busy. Why take the initiative to encounter danger? Anyway, half a month later, half a month earlier, it doesn't matter to us."

Qin Dawang saw that she was really innocent, as if he had completely forgotten about the parachutist.At this time, the moonlight shone through the wooden fence outside the window.This is the kind of thick earthen walls and adobe bricks pasted with cement and straw in the south, thick wooden doors, and even the windows are tightly closed, and there is a wind blowing outside, whistling, muffled their voices They are all compressed very, very small.

Only occasionally one or two neighs.That was the mount tied outside the door.

"Girl, even if we stay, we may not meet the parachutist again."

"It doesn't matter if we meet or not?" She said lightly, "In the past, I really thought that he might be Pengju, so I had hope. Now I know, he is indeed not, so why bother with him? I I wish him the best of luck."

King Qin was quite surprised when he finally heard her admit it personally.But she said again: "I'm just sorry that I couldn't see Big Brother Lu along the way."

"I saw him last time, and he has hardly changed from before."
