The First Empress - Chapter 145
Chapter 145 Disaster Relief Storm
Linglong also felt that her words were too heavy. She remembered that Qin’er had always been protecting her during the day. When she saw the little girl’s extremely vicious appearance, Qin’er immediately bowed her body into a shrimp ready to give her life. She felt a slight pain in her heart and did not understand Qin’er. She just felt that Qin’er was too cautious and contrary to her original intention.
Of course, safety is the most important thing.
The next day, everyone woke up early. When they arrived at the place that had been arranged, the pot was already cooked on this side. Many people were waiting below the stage.
Linglong walked and watched. She felt that this scene was so piercing. Why had the outside of Zihua Palace become such a scene? If she hadn’t witnessed it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed anyone who told her that the outside world had become like this. However, Linglong had been able to observe it from a close distance.
What a wonderful scene outside Zihua Palace! Chang’an Avenue even narrow slope, Qingniu White Horse Seven Fragrance Chariot. There were even more jade carriages, golden whips, dragon-ranked treasure covers, and phoenix-spitting tassels.
But today, it was already filled with grief and sorrow. There was no longer the slightest bit of liveliness and vitality from the past. The weather became cold. Linglong put on her clothes and walked to the front of the stage.
This place was like a jade tree silver platform. Everyone looked at it with their necks drawn. Linglong waited until the millet porridge rolled up and hurriedly picked up a spoon with a long handle.
“My fellow villagers, elders, neighbors, this is the relief field in the East City. This is Concubine Jieyu from the Imperial Palace. We came here on the orders of the Emperor. Not only can you eat three meals a day, you can also get one tael of silver per person. Now everyone line up …” Commander Jiang was used to giving orders. Naturally, they were very good at speaking and commanding. After a while, these people were already arranged like black and white pieces on the chessboard.
Because he was afraid of the stampede, Commander Jiang even split them into three teams. One was mostly children, the other was middle-aged, and the other was elderly. Even if it was messy to the end, it was still chaotic and orderly. His bright eyes stared at the crowd below.
“There are a total of three days for disaster relief, but millet porridge will be served every day from today onwards. Everyone, slow down and don’t be crowded.” Linglong was busy pouring millet porridge into everyone’s broken bowls while comforting them.
“The millet porridge is in West City. There are more in South City and North City. Don’t be afraid that you won’t be full. There’s plenty of food here. We still have to give it to everyone in the end. Everyone can rest assured.” Linglong was already sweating profusely.
Mu Qianzhi stood beside Linglong like a pine tree. His expression suddenly changed slightly.
Commander Jiang and Imperial Guard Long simultaneously displayed a brilliant look, while the other two guards spread out beside them. A few people surrounded Linglong and Qin’er like stars in the moon. Qin’er also spared no effort to help Linglong distribute money to the victims.
This is a high platform, Naturally, he could see the audience, When Linglong saw that a large pot of millet porridge had been distributed, she nodded and began to cook. More than half of the victims had already dispersed. Everyone below the stage loudly praised Linglong, “It seems that my emperor can’t bear to sit idly by. We are only going to have three meals a night. Let’s go back and not rebel with Seventh Prince.”
Linglong heard someone say, “Yes, the Seven Kings and the Emperor are always irreconcilable. We were only deceived by the monstrous words of the Seven Kings.”
Someone even said, “Your Majesty’s kindness will definitely not blame us. Your Majesty is also a phoenix amongst dragons and a living Bodhisattva.” As she spoke, she kowtowed and tilted her body slightly. How could she take care of these matters by herself? Naturally, she had to retreat successfully.
At this time, Linglong suddenly looked at the crowd below the stage as if her eyes had gone blurry. At the end of the line, a man walked over. He was dressed in purple. His train was flying in the wind, and there was a dark sword hanging on his waist. The man walked over in a carefree manner. Although it was from the crowd, it could be seen that his expression was so calm and his bearing was so noble.
It was as if a clear spring had flown into a field of miscellaneous peanuts, bringing a bit of greenery to the shriveled land. Very quickly, this cheerful aura became more and more, and everyone could feel it as well, slowly making way for a bit of distance.
Wild Crane Lonely Cloud, Qi more than Xiao Han.
Linglong almost thought that her eyes were blurred. After carefully rubbing her eyes, she finally saw it clearly. It was indeed Xie Yunxiao.
Xie Yunxiao walked to a place not far from the stage and smiled faintly, “Your Highness has worked hard.”
Only then did Linglong react. It had been a long time since she had seen him like the Sesame Orchid Jade Tree. Thus, she asked, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him, but you still haven’t reduced it.”
Xie Yunxiao looked at Linglong and bowed slightly. “Empress Jieyu has a kind heart. Everyone praises her for being a Bodhisattva. I, this lowly official, am naturally here to admire her for her peerless beauty.”
Linglong’s slightly sideways gaze, long time no see, actually this rusty?
He had always called himself “Linglong”, but “as deep as the Marquis Sect, Xiao Lang is an old friend from now on”.
Xie Yunxiao was about to step onto the stage, but Mu Qianzhi, who was standing beside him, held his sword on his chest and said, “You are Seventh Prince’s aide, so don’t come up. This lowly official was ordered to come here to protect the Empress.” Linglong didn’t care. She just smiled and said, “They are joking with you again. We are all former friends in the court.”
The childhood sweetheart–
However, the ending of the story had changed completely. Mu Qianzhi sneered and said, “Your Highness, you are representing the Dali Dynasty now, not the Empress herself.” Linglong regained her composure and said, “Let’s talk after I’m done.”
Xie Yunxiao glanced at Mu Qianzhi on the platform with an unfriendly expression.
Mu Qianzhi didn’t know if it was to show that he was close to Linglong. He walked to Linglong’s side and said, “Your Majesty’s golden body, these small matters are not worth your concern. I will help you.” As he spoke, he walked to the front of the big pot.
The victims walked ahead in an orderly manner, But not long after, A group of victims had already rushed over. Suddenly, they brought their children to the front. They looked extremely sad. Someone was vomiting and someone was crying. “What is this, Jieyu, or Po Su? It’s clearly a life-threatening Asura. Take a look at my son. He was fine just now. Now he’s dead. Compensate my son, I want my son!”
Linglong was suddenly stunned. What’s going on, Before he could figure out the joints, Another group of people had already arrived on the platform like beggars, Although these people were dressed in messy clothes, they could tell that they were practicing martial arts from head to toe. Their muscles crisscrossed each other like a crouching dragon. Only then did Linglong understand that the two groups were here to cause trouble. Linglong even saw the color of the daggers on these people’s bodies in the autumn sun.
“Protect Your Highness.” Qin’er hurriedly called out, “I don’t know who appointed you, but I want to tell you that the Hehe Empire will not cripple any hungry people. I won’t care about what happened today. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless and ruthless.” Ling Long retreated to a safe place and said, “I don’t know who sent you here.”
After Linglong finished speaking, the Dragon Taboo Lieutenant beside her and Mu Qianzhi had already blocked in front of her. In the blink of an eye, someone had already attacked, “This was sent by the Emperor to harm them. We have lifted their lair.”
As she spoke, a group of people rushed over. Qin’er pulled Linglong back repeatedly and said, “Empress, let’s go back. They will deal with it.”
Linglong was in a dilemma. The Emperor had already said that Linglong represented not only herself, but also the face of the royal family. She quietly retreated like this. Not only herself, but even the royal family had lost all face. Linglong did not want the royal family to lose face, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Seeing that there are more and more victims below the stage, Linglong opens her mouth and says, “Don’t misunderstand. If the Emperor wants to kill you, can you still wait until today? The Emperor wants to eat and drink to sit in the Dragon Court. That’s why I came to help you out. Don’t let the adulterers provoke you.”
But Linglong’s voice was really low, even though Linglong had used all of her strength.
Someone sneered, “Don’t listen to their monstrous words to deceive the crowd. Go!”
A group of people swarmed in front of the small square formation. Linglong steadily retreated in the face of danger and said coldly, “It looks like Seventh Prince commanded us. Let’s push back for the time being.” Linglong had already thought that there would be such a thing, so she was only slightly surprised. Mu Qianzhi retreated to protect Linglong.
Linglong sighed boredom and said, “Dragon Taboo Lieutenant, don’t hurt anyone. As long as these people are alive, they will naturally tell the mastermind behind the scenes.” The Dragon Taboo Lieutenant nodded his head and began to face the enemy. Immediately, it was already a blade light and sword shadow. As expected, those beggars were wearing makeup. They took out seven long and eight short weapons from their waist and attacked towards Linglong’s side. Fortunately, the Dragon Taboo Lieutenant had no problem fighting ten against one, so they protected Linglong’s safety.
Linglong retreated repeatedly. Mu Qianzhi and Linglong also retreated. Just as they were about to walk into the inn behind them, a group of people also rushed out of the inn. This group of people was aggressive and took out their weapons in a moment.
Qin’er cried out in alarm, “Empress, help me, protect Empress.”
The Shadow Guard blocked behind Linglong like lightning. Linglong was really in a dilemma now. At this time, she had to pay attention and take a look. Even Xie Yunxiao had joined.
It could be seen that Xie Yunxiao was trying to protect himself.
These were all unexpected. What was even more unexpected was still behind them. Not long after, someone had already shot arrows from the female wall. Linglong dodged repeatedly. They were all empty-handed. Linglong had never learned a single bit of martial arts. Naturally, it was a burden to everyone. Qin’er panted and helped Linglong as a shield in front of Linglong.
“Qin’er, I’ve wrongly blamed you.”
Qin’er panted, “Your Highness, this servant is not angry. This servant knows that Your Highness did not blame this servant wrongly. Everything is this servant’s fault, this servant–ah!” Just as she was speaking, Qin’er was already shot by an arrow. In an instant, the pain caused Qin’er’s entire body to spasm. Soon, she fell to the ground and Linglong hurriedly hugged Qin’er.
The situation became more and more chaotic. Not only was there someone firing cold arrows in front of them, there was even more chaos behind them. Linglong knew that she couldn’t leave today, so she could only look around.
“Commander Jiang, where are you going to throw this javelin?” Linglong pointed to the front. Commander Jiang stretched out his ape arm and threw a javelin into the female wall in front of him. Linglong watched as a figure slowly stood up on the female wall. Her tiny body held a dagger in her hand. Obviously, she had just assassinated the archer, but she did not expect that she would be killed by Commander Jiang.
Even his eyes were wide open.
When Linglong saw that she had accidentally killed the little girl, her heart split apart. Suddenly, tears fell like rain. It had been a long time since she cried. She saw the little girl’s figure slowly fall from the female wall. She was still saying, “Your Highness, I have returned the money to you.”
Linglong could even hear the sound of her body landing heavily on the ground, as well as the sound of broken copper coins falling to the ground.
