MTL - Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms-Chapter 21 The real face of this world
Chapter 21 The real face of this world
Half a month ago, an unknown army occupied the county seat of Lu County!
This is really unexpected, Cheng Ling's heart suddenly shuddered.
It seemed that she had previously speculated that Lu County was also hit, but she was probably wrong in the general direction.
Lu County may have also suffered a disaster, but it is very likely that it was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!
Mu Sanniang also exclaimed: "What does this mean? Could it be someone who is wrong?"
When she said the words , her face suddenly turned pale, the natural disaster was already hard enough, and if there were people who rebelled, how would the life of the people at the bottom live?
Mu Sanniang then hurriedly said: "This, this can't be done? We are in Ping County with such a big news, didn't, didn't hear the wind..."
Hong Guangyi said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, after those people entered the city, the first thing they did was to lock the city gate, and then... massacre the city!"
What?
Mu Sanniang was stunned and sat a little further away. Cheng Erni and Cheng Dani, who were eating well, also stopped eating.
Cheng Ling sat beside a fire, wiped the thin beads of sweat from his forehead, and put the bowl in his hand aside.
Mu Sanniang said dryly: "How, how did you massacre the city?"
How did massacre the city?
Hong Guangyi paused, as if he had a memory.
Actually, it is a bit wrong to say that the city is directly slaughtered. Hong Guangyi snorted, as if to laugh at himself and also seem to be sarcastic.
He said in a low voice, "There are no rules, the city gate was closed, and a general rode a horse and ran a circle from the other side of the street to the other side of the street, shouting at the same time, that everyone should be obedient and not slaughter the city. Then , everyone agreed, and the general said, dissolve!"
disbands, the soldiers are free to move, hey!
It sounds so nice to say that you don't massacre the city, but what is the result?
Hong Guangyi paused for a while, and then trembled slightly again: "I don't know why there are so many soldiers, the streets are full of alleys, and the whole city is full. They chase people from house to house. Come out, those evil spirits, rush in and kill."
Kill a few and no one will dare to come out.
Then, Hong Guangyi's eyes gradually turned red.
He brushed the hair that had been scattered in front of him back, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's called handing over food, money, and cloth. In short, if you have anything to hand over, you are not allowed to leave any property, we will be snatched to death! No! If you loot enough, they will all be slaughtered."
"I can't live anymore, with such a hard scratch, who can survive?"
As he spoke, Hong Guangyi couldn't help crying: "The few of us escaped. That's why we secretly used all the means at night to escape."
"Woooo..."
cried.
It wasn't Hong Guangyi, it turned out that it was Shi Hong who woke up!
He didn't know when he woke up, and he didn't say a word. He just listened to Hong Guangyi's words silently. After listening for a while, he burst into tears.
Hong Guangyi turned to look at him, with sadness and joy: "Brother Shi, you are awake!"
Shi Hong sat up staggeringly, and said faintly: "Life is big, not dead."
Then, he sat there and bowed his hands to Mu Sanniang, saying, "I have seen the aunt."
also bowed his hands to Cheng Ling from a distance, and said, "Thank you for your life-saving grace!"
After saying these few words, Shi Hong said to himself: "We escaped from the city, but most of the people are still locked in the city to die. These rebels, they have no food, grass and luggage, wherever they capture, Sweep wherever."
"Eat now!" Shi Hong wiped away his tears and said with a sneer, "I was in Lu County half a month ago, and now I don't know where I went."
These words, this insight, are actually a bit extraordinary.
Cheng Ling also had a heavy heart when he heard it, and immediately said: "Brother Shi has an opinion, do you foresee where they are going?"
said again, "Has Brother Shi read books?"
This time, before Shi Hong could answer, Hong Guangyi straightened his back first, and seemed to say with honor: "My brother Shi is a scholar of the ninth year of Jiande!"
Shi Hong is really a scholar!
This is actually a combination of a butcher and a scholar, which is a bit interesting.
Studying is not an easy task these days. Shi Hong looks young, but he can be admitted to a scholar. Just like him, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is one in a thousand.
Mu Sanniang stood up immediately and said politely, "It turned out that the scholar was actually in front of him, but it was the little woman who was disrespectful."
said, he was about to walk away.
Shi Hong was in a hurry, and with a sigh, he said quickly, "Auntie, don't let it go!"
He wanted to get up and get up to Lamu Sanniang, but his legs were weak. Besides, it's also rude to pull and pull.
Shi Hong was so anxious that his face turned pale. Mu Sanniang immediately returned to the original seat and sat down. Next to him, Hong Guangyi quickly supported Shi Hong and handed the bowl still in his hand to Shi Hong.
Shi Hong: Gudong!
A person who has swallowed his saliva and is extremely hungry, when faced with food, no matter whether you are a scholar or a beggar, don’t you all have to be occupied by the word “eat”?
After a quarter of an hour, Shi Hong had eaten and drank enough, and Cheng Ling finally gained a better understanding of the world through him.
Cheng Ling only knew that the country she was in was called Qi. As for how big Qi was and what was going on around her, she had a black eye.
The people at the bottom have limited information channels and can only see one acre of land in front of them, and repeat the boring toil for a lifetime.
But Shi Hong knew: "Since the division of the Qin Dynasty in the previous dynasty, the world has been divided into divisions, and the war has been endless year after year. Now the Great Wei in the north is finally unified, but in the south, the state of Qi, Shu, and Chen, there is no co-lord at all. "
Cheng Ling raised his eyebrows slightly.
It turned out that the world was divided by Shenchuan, the north and the south, the Wei kingdom in the north unified the Wuhu, and the Qi, Shu, and Chen in the south were opposed to each other for 80 years.
And their current monarch of Qi State, even though he has been in power for eleven years, he is actually an emperor!
Qi Guojun ascended the throne at the age of two. When he ascended the throne, he was still a milk baby who could only eat and drink Lazarus. After eleven years passed, he was only thirteen years old.
And the assistant minister below, just Saisuke, has already changed three rounds!
As for who really controls the government?
Shi Hong said very carefully: "There are three heavens above us. Your Majesty is the first heaven, the Empress Dowager is the second heaven, and the nine thousand-year-old father-in-law Mi is the third heaven."
But to say who is more powerful in the Three Heavens, and which one overwhelms which one, Shi Hong has no way of knowing.
Although he read books and learned a lot from his teachers and classmates, he was only a scholar of the squire's family. Many court officials couldn't understand the affairs of the top court, let alone Shi Hong?
That's right, that's right, Shi Hong came from a well-known squire family in Lu County, which is actually different from Hong Guangyi, Cheng Ling and others.
Of course, someone like him cannot be said to be a wealthy family.
Maybe in the local county-level power, his family can be regarded as a lord, but in fact, if you really look at the whole world, the Shi family is only a small landowner in the poor family.
As for people like Cheng Ling and the others, they are not even good enough for a poor family!
Speaking of poor families and noble families, Cheng Ling also felt that there was a phenomenon in Qi that was very interesting.
