MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.-Chapter 1154 I can’t even make it in time to copy my homework!
Chapter 1154 I can’t even make it in time to copy my homework!
Old Mrs. Li was reluctant to part with it and tried to persuade her, "Dayong, have a meal and then go back. I'll let Fu Niu'er cook your favorite dishes!"
Li Dayong refused and responded, "Auntie, I really don't have any time this time. The Marquis is not here, and I have a heavy responsibility to guard the dock. I don't dare to be careless at all. But the two hundred wounded soldiers were all returned from the Jiangbei battlefield. , It’s not easy, please take care of me at home.”
“What silly words are you talking about?” Old Mrs. Li glared at him and cursed, “You kid, why are you a heretic? You said we are a family, so why are you so polite?
“These wounded soldiers were all killed with the Marquis and the fourth son. Not to mention that they came to Suijintan to protect everyone’s safety. Even if they live in old age, that’s what they should do.
“Don’t worry, I won’t treat them badly!”
Li Dayong raised his hand and gave himself a gentle slap. He smiled and coaxed the old lady, "I was stupid and made a mistake. Don't be like me. I will punish you when I come back next time to buy roast chicken for you."
Everyone laughed, but Mrs. Li patted the back of his hand and told him, "It doesn't matter whether you roast chicken or not. As long as you are all safe."
"No one at home is with you in the military camp now. You must be very tired by yourself, but hold on. You will get better soon. When the time comes, you will be reunited with Huiniang and the children, and your days will be full of happiness!"
“Okay, ma’am, I’m looking forward to that time too.” Li Dayong nodded heavily and agreed.
After chatting for a few more words, he stood up and left. The city gate would be closed later.
Jiayin came over from the kitchen just in time. Shui Ling behind him was carrying two baskets. Seeing this, Jiayin smiled.
“Uncle Dayong, I guess you can’t stay for dinner. So, I fried some meatballs and baked dozens of pies. You take them all back and make some porridge, and that’s dinner.”
Li Dayong was not polite at all. He took it with his own hands with a smile and said, "If you have anything, please let me know."
After saying this, he took the people away.
The defense of the wharf is important and he cannot leave anyone for a moment. If he didn’t miss his family too much, he would not take this trip...
After sending Li Dayong off, everyone chatted about trivial matters and had dinner.
The Broken Gold Beach outside the city is still busy, with torches everywhere lighting up the interior and exterior.
The produce of the mountains and fields were quickly recovered.
Similarly, the same is true for the manors of the Liu family, Jia family and Xing family.
Such a movement was quite significant, so naturally a neighboring manor discovered it and was very surprised.
When we find out more, these people feel crazy again.
Although the drought is severe, every manor has some back-ups, such as a few deep wells.
Hence, the output of crops and vegetables in the manor has been reduced, but there are still 45% left.
But they are not ripe at this time. Wouldn’t it be a pity to harvest them back? They are reluctant to part with them...
Hence, the village leaders everywhere were not in a hurry and planned to report to the owner the next day to ask what was going on...
It’s a pity that they don’t know that opportunity is fleeting and what they fear most is waiting.
In this way, some people are busy, some are watching the lively dark night, and some are running on the road or dragging their families along and insisting on moving forward.
When the sun jumped out of the horizon again, the soldiers guarding the city gate looked at the number of refugees below, which had increased three or four times. They couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and almost dropped the sword in their hands...
The news was quickly passed in, and the commander on duty yawned and stepped forward to take a look, and was so frightened that he suddenly woke up.
When did these refugees, who were in ragged clothes, sallow and skinny, with their families and their families, looking numb and desperate, occupy most of the open space outside the city gate?
When were those shabby sheds made of tree branches, broken boards, and linoleum under the city wall put up?
It must be reported immediately!
The commander secretly cursed himself for being unlucky for having to take the shift on this day. If he had known this, he would have been able to escape even if he found an excuse to take a few days off...
Because the queen passed away and the funeral has not yet been held, all court meetings have been suspended, but the government affairs cannot be delayed. Therefore, the imperial study room became a temporary court, and six important ministers gathered from time to time to discuss matters.
The emperor's wife died, but he still endured his "grief" and dealt with political affairs, and was slapped on the back by the clever courtiers!
At this time, Manager Yi took the emperor's oral instructions and ordered five or six of the crying courtiers to go to the imperial study to discuss matters.
The other courtiers' eyes turned red with envy when they saw their colleagues "being lazy" under orders.
The courtiers who successfully escaped were also proud, but unfortunately they regretted it soon.
They entered the royal study, and before their buttocks could get hot, news of the city defense was reported.
The number of refugees has increased rapidly and has reached 3,000. There is fear of trouble!
Whether it was the emperor, the prince, or the courtiers who were full of superiority, they were so shocked that they didn't speak for a long time.
Of course, even if I want to say it, I don’t know what to say.
Actually, this result can be considered expected, but it never happened. Everyone covered their heads and deceived themselves, stealing a few days of leisure.
Now that it suddenly broke out, I really can’t accept it!
The emperor was the first to get angry, "When did so many people gather? Why didn't they report it earlier?!"
The commander of the city defense immediately responded, "Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly. There were only a few refugees here yesterday. I and others stopped them from entering the city for fear of disturbing the Queen's funeral.
"Unexpectedly, the number of people increased dramatically overnight! Now they are all gathered at the city gate. If someone instigates a few words, it will easily cause a riot. Please tell me how to deal with it."
The emperor was impatient and wanted to curse a few words, but the prince persuaded him to stop.
"Father, please calm down, your dragon body is important. What has happened has happened, and there is always a way to solve it."
The other courtiers also nodded and said.
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, Your Majesty, please calm down. Such a natural disaster cannot be resisted by human power.”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The only plan now is to quickly arrange for the refugees to avoid causing trouble."
“Also, how do the state capitals in the south take care of the people? So many refugees were not formed in one day. Why are there no reports from the state capitals!”
The emperor rubbed his sore temples and was about to speak when Manager Yi walked in quickly.
“Your Majesty, the urgent report from Southwest has arrived!”
Southwest?
Everyone was shocked. Could it be that the foreign enemies at the southwest border had also begun to invade? !
The prince looked at the emperor and said nothing, so he said, "Send it up!"
Mr. Yi quickly raised the memorial in his hand above his head. The prince wanted to pass it to the emperor, but the emperor waved his hand.
Whether he is escaping reality or being timid, in short, there are times when the leader of a country is tired and tired, and he really doesn’t want to see any more bad news.
What's more, the remaining poison that could not be completely eliminated before is still slowly damaging his body. Recently, his energy has become worse and worse...
The prince understood, opened the memorial and read it quickly, his face became ugly.
At this time, the emperor and court officials were curious and worried.
The prince is steady and rarely expresses emotion or anger. Such a change of expression shows that the matter is definitely not a small matter.
