Chapter 202 I can only find some wild animals' milk for the children to feed
The simple working people have no idea about the twists and turns of the superstructure, as well as the grudges and grudges.
Most of them have been farmers for generations and cannot read a single word. All they know is that they will be kind to anyone who is kind to them.
But they are the largest number of people in Tianjing Kingdom.
Once this kind of mass force is organized, it is quite terrifying. They can penetrate into every aspect without any obstacles, including Eunuch Huang's small yard.
The news spread from the ruined temple and soon spread to all the villages and towns in the North. Even the lowest level of the people in the North knew that there could be no chaos in the North until the empress returned to her throne.
Whoever wants to cause chaos is the enemy of the Northland.
A fast horse ran from Guqizhou into Nanxian City. Lian'er jumped off the horse and went directly into the ancient general's mansion.
Gu Zun has been promoted by Hua Jin to the general of the city defense army and will lead the northern city defense army on her behalf.
Today's Gu Zun is no longer the captain of the Shence Army before, but a general of the city defense army who already has his own general mansion.
He stood quietly outside the general's mansion, watched Lian'er get off the horse, and then went to greet her.
"Go in and talk."
Lian'er put her hand on Gu Zun's and pulled him into the gate of the General's Mansion. When the two met, there was no deep affection between an unmarried couple.
Instead, a kind of tension and solemnity filled the expressions of the two people.
When faced with such a big event as the disappearance of Princess Xiao Li, no one was in a sentimental mood.
But when she entered the ancient general's palace, Lian'er was stunned. In the courtyard of the general's palace stood a large number of generals of the city protection army, all of whom were promoted by Hua Jin after careful consideration.
Seeing Lian'er wearing stars and moonlight as she entered the mansion, the generals of the city guard bowed their hands to Lian'er respectfully.
"Miss Lian'er."
Gu Zun explained:
"We were just discussing how to stabilize the Northland. Now that the Queen is not on the throne, I don't know how many young people will want to secretly destroy the peace of the Northland. This internal and external troubles are really worrying."
Mentioning the empress, Lian'er's eyes became wet.
She let go of Gu Zun's hand, took a step forward, looked at the senior generals of the city guard army, deeply blessed her body, and choked with sobs:
"Northland is the Northland of King Xiao Li and Princess Xiao Li. Without the empress, there would be no prosperity and tranquility in the Northland today. Lian'er is here. Thank you all soldiers. I have to work hard for you. You must definitely protect the north for the empress.
Protect the earth well.”
When Hua Jin left, there was no explanation, but the North Land was her hard work, and Lian'er saw with her own eyes that such a barren land was changing day by day under Hua Jin's management.
This is a meritorious service that belongs to Princess Xiao Li.
It can be imagined that when Princess Xiao Li disappeared and King Xiao Li went to find Princess Xiao Li, and the Northland had no owner, this fertile and rich land would attract the covetous attention of many people.
Lian'er then hurriedly and slowly returned to the southern city to find Gu Zun. She wanted Gu Zun to stay calm at this time and protect the North Land for the empress.
As a result, no one needed to explain these matters at all. Before Lian'er arrived, the generals of the Northland Guard Army had already gathered to express their stance that they must maintain the peace of the Northland.
A general surrendered,
"What Miss Lian'er said is so outrageous. This is also the home of thousands of people in the North. We are the city guards. We protect the Queen's North. We protect the city of the North, and we also protect the city."
People inside and outside, the North Land cannot be in chaos, we will definitely guard this land and wait for the Queen to return to her throne."
In the General's Mansion, everyone's expression was solemn and solemn. They were all promoted by Hua Jin himself. People are Hua Jin's people, and deaths are Hua Jin's ghosts.
Under the influence of this kind of thought and belief, the entire Northern Territory, from bottom to top, from the private sector to the officialdom, has become a stable group.
Eunuch Huang continued to lie, and the nobles in the imperial capital were all gearing up, preparing to wait for chaos in the North to steal the mines.
As a result, the city guards and the people of the Northland patrolled when they should, walked when they should, and kept an eye on the mines in the Northland every day. They did not allow suspicious people to linger privately near the mines, but they still kept a close eye on them.
Sun Guogong could not find a chance to cross Guqizhou and reach Beidi to steal minerals.
He could only have a headache and devote all his energy to finding Hua Jin.
The actions of Sun Guogong were reported to Li Yunqing.
Li Yunqing sat barefoot in the king's tent, holding a luan hairpin that Hua Jin always wore in his hand, looking at it intently,
"Let him find it, which can be considered a help."
The Shence Army could not enter the hinterland of Tianjing Kingdom with great fanfare, but Sun Guogong could. The imperial capital was much more tolerant of Sun Guogong than it was of Li Yunqing.
Therefore, when it comes to finding people, it will be much faster with the help of Sun Guogong's 200,000 remaining soldiers.
Wu Tian, who knelt on one knee in front of Li Yunqing, responded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Yunqing again.
"While the king was fighting outside, what did you ladies do in your free time?"
Wu Tian's heart was heavy and he choked back:
"Your Majesty, I hardly have any free time."
Hua Jin is a person who is very good at killing her time. Ordinary harem women are always full of sadness when their husbands are not home for many years, and they even lose interest in doing anything.
It's as if there is only one man in my life.
But Hua Jin is different. When Li Yunqing is away, she has endless things to do every day. From the construction of a royal palace, to the planning of the Northland, to the governance of Guqi Prefecture, many things are waiting for her.
make a decision.
After finally sitting down, she still had an endless list of account books.
Li Yunqing's narrow eyes looked at the Luan Chai in his hand, and he couldn't help but get angry.
"So if you look at her, she has never thought about me. She and I have become a couple, as if they are living together."
Many times, Li Yunqing was thinking about a question. What if Hua Jin had met another man instead of him in the hands of bandits.
Will she also live with this man and take care of his house in order?
"She wanted to leave. She just left behind such a mess. This woman has no heart."
Li Yunqing's teeth were itching as he spoke, and the anger in his eyes almost burned.
Wu Tian opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Because in the eyes of those who serve Princess Xiao Li, Hua Jin does not love Li Yunqing.
It was more like she was living together with Li Yunqing.
"But in order to save this king, she even gave up her favorite money and power."
Li Yunqing's fingers tightened around the Luan Chai in his hand. This was what made his heart ache the most. He would rather Hua Jin watch him die than Hua Jin pay the price of hurting himself just to save him.
Wu Tian, who was kneeling opposite Li Yunqing, couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty must love you very much in her heart."
It's just that even Hua Jin herself doesn't know about this kind of love.
"Of course she is. Otherwise, how could a selfish woman like her pay so much for this king?"
Li Yunqing curled his lips, feeling a little happy but also very angry.
This conflicting mood made his heart torn all the time.
He waved his hand and asked Wu Tian to go down, and led the people to continue looking for Hua Jin. He held Hua Jin's Luan Chai and closed his eyes.
It was gloomy and gloomy inside the king's tent, and the strong wind was howling outside the tent. Li Yunqing's heart heaved slightly. When the lights were turned off, there was a faint green light lingering around him.
He originally just wanted to take a nap, but Hua Jin's face suddenly appeared in his mind.
No, it's not Hua Jin... it's Hua Jin.
But Li Yunqing saw Hua Jin wearing strange clothes, a thin white dress with no sleeves, a pleated dark blue skirt, and her white and tender knees were exposed.
With a look of panic on her face, she ran in the corridors of the school.
"Jin'er!"
Li Yunqing opened his arms, trying to protect Hua Jin in his arms.
But she passed directly through Li Yunqing's body and ran deeper into the corridor.
Corpses with uncoordinated limbs were chasing her behind her, making Li Yunqing frown.
What are these? People? Or monsters?
He turned to look in the direction where Hua Jin escaped, then looked at the group of monsters, and said angrily:
"What kind of ghost? How dare you hurt my princess!"
As he said this, he was about to pull out his cicada-wing knife, but the scene around him turned around, and he saw scenes of people eating people everywhere.
The scenes of the chaotic, dark, and desperate world shocked Li Yunqing.
What is this place? Where has his princess gone?
Li Yunqing opened his eyes suddenly, his heart hurt so much that he could hardly breathe. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his eyes were blurry, and he had not yet fully woken up from the nightmare.
It was no lie, Li Yunqing suddenly became extremely convinced that the world in his mind, that short-haired girl struggling to escape from hell, was his princess.
When did this happen? In a previous life, or now?
Li Yunqing became anxious. He quickly stood up, holding Hua Jin's Luan Chai in his hand, and rushed out of the king's tent.
"Look, hurry up and find your empress. We must find my princess back at all costs."
All the people who could be evacuated were evacuated by Li Yunqing, including Sun Guogong's 200,000 soldiers, all looking for Hua Jin.
However, Hua Jin's walking route was all the way to the hinterland of Hushan County, so there were few people along the way.
She has never given birth, so she has no milk and does not know how to raise a child.
It is not easy to find a good and reliable family to adopt a child in your arms.
So Hua Jin, who was walking in the wilderness, could only find some wild beast milk to feed her child.
She had no destination. She was just like a duckweed, looking for a place to stay. Because of the little baby in her arms, Hua Jin completely followed her own desires.
She walked wherever there was a female beast, and finally passed a mass grave. Hua Jin found that her route had completely deviated from Hushan County. She crossed King Ruan's fiefdom and wandered into Quanshui County.
After entering Quanshui County, I gradually met some people.
But they are all people fleeing on the roadside.
Hua Jin had completely lost her direction. She was holding a child and didn't know where to go next, so she just stopped by the roadside.
There was a group of strong young men sitting on the dirt road next to them. The leading young man looked up at Hua Jin and said very honestly:
"Mother-in-law, you also fled to Linghe County?"
"Linghe County?"
Hua Jin, whose face was full of wrinkles, held a black turban to cover her entire face, revealing only a pair of bright phoenix eyes and the silver-white hair under the turban.
"I heard that Sun Guogong has finished causing harm to Hushan County. The next one is either Guqi Prefecture or our Quanshui County, so everyone in this area is fleeing."
The young man told the truth, looked at the child in Hua Jin's arms, and asked with sympathy:
"Is this your grandson?"
Grandson?... When Hua Jin heard this, her heart became complicated. She had been a virgin her whole life, but now in the eyes of others, she was a person with grandchildren.
If I had known this, I would have put Li Yunqing to bed, and at least I would have experienced the love between a man and a woman.
It's good now, she doesn't realize anything, she just becomes a grandmother.
"Oh, this is not your biological grandson."
Without waiting for Hua Jin to answer, behind the young man, a woman in her thirties sat on a cart and looked at Hua Jin curiously.
I can't explain what it feels like. There are many old ladies with stooped bodies along the way, but there are quite few old ladies with such a graceful figure as Hua Jin.
Looking at the way Hua Jin holds the child, she holds it with one hand, while the other hand hangs idle, which makes people feel that she is lazy.
Hua Jin lowered her head and looked at the baby she was holding in one hand, and replied briefly,
"I picked this up."
"Oh, we really aren't our biological children, are we?"
The woman simply stood up from the trolley, walked to Hua Jin, looked at the red baby in the swaddling clothes, and said regretfully:
"He looks quite handsome. Why don't this child's parents want him? He's still a boy."
Hua Jin graciously allowed the woman to look after the child. She didn't say much about Yuan Youying and Bai Jinghong. She only said that the child was picked up in Hushan County. She looked pitiful and brought him all the way.
"Are you from Hushan County?"
Madam Yao looked at Hua Jin with sympathy on her face and said:
"Then it's not easy for you to escape from Hushan County alive at your age."
In the eyes of the people of Quanshui County, Hushan County was a place of dire straits, and everyone who fled from Hushan County to Quanshui County was in misery.
I saw Mrs. Yao pointing at the group of strong young men very enthusiastically,
"This is the guys from our Yao family's blacksmith shop, and this is my son."
She pointed at the strong man who spoke to Hua Jin for the first time, and proudly introduced how strong her son was and how strong he was.
Yao Jun, a strong young man, looked embarrassed.
"Auntie, don't praise others when you meet them. It's embarrassing."
As he was talking, a group of people suddenly came rushing towards them on horseback. The leader was wearing a flying fish suit. Regardless of who was on the road, the horse's speed did not slow down at all.
Seeing that she was about to bump into Madam Yao, Hua Jin stretched out her hand and pulled Madam Yao back a few steps from the dirt road.
The big horse ridden by the leading Jin Yiwei stepped on the place where Madam Yao was standing just now, and rushed past like a gust of wind.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of horse hooves roared past, and someone yelled:
"A good dog is blind if it doesn't block the road."
After scolding, he raised his riding whip and whipped it towards Hua Jin and Madam Yao.
