Legend of Qingling Dance

Chapter 138
The Western Zhou Dynasty was rich in land and resources.

Although news of the tense battle came repeatedly, Hua County was still thousands of miles away from Xijing.

Prices are much more expensive, but Fengming Street is still very lively, and there are not even a small vendor in Jiucheng Street.

After snatching rice for a few days, and salt for a few days, it was later confirmed that the merchants were just spreading rumors for profit.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was the land with the most abundant fish and rice in the entire continent. Even if the trade routes of neighboring countries were cut off, there would be no shortage of supplies.

Except for well-informed businessmen like Mrs. Zhu who have a mysterious fortune, ordinary ordinary people are still living in a daze, even if they are not pushed to the top.

Not to mention that it is difficult to leave their homeland, it is indeed because they have nowhere to go.

Such as Qingning and Jingzhi.

Even He Laosan, who was often startled, couldn't help his mother-in-law crying and making noises. After all, he stayed in Xijing, waiting for the day of peace to come sooner.

After all, the He family's small restaurant is located on the side of the downtown area. If you lose that popular facade, it will be very difficult to get it back.

Don't say that Mrs. He's family is not happy, but the youngest He himself is also very reluctant.

However, in the past two days, the superficial calm of Xijing has gradually been broken.

Originally, not long ago, due to the prince's dereliction of duty, the responsibility of patrolling Xijing was handed over to King Hui, but because of the war, Emperor Xiaoming brought back the defense.

Today, the Tiger Xiao Battalion is responsible for the defense of Xijing.

Although he lost his power for no reason, fortunately King Hui has always been indifferent and didn't care about it. He just focused his energy on the Tai Hospital he supervised, hoarding a lot of medicinal materials and recruiting doctors for emergencies.

They also mobilized rich households in Lihuawu and Beijing to raise funds and purchase materials for the resettlement of refugees.

Everyone said in private that King Hui is benevolent and compassionate to the people, but Mrs. Li is better than Mrs. Li, His Majesty really has bad eyesight!

What made everyone even more angry was that the crown prince, Zhou Daijin, who had been known all over the world as a benevolent heir apparent for five years of flood control, had been acting all the time, and now his wolfish ambitions were fully exposed!

Now, he not only divides the frontiers to stand on his own, but also colludes with the Nanyue people to turn against him and trap Dazhou in the flames of war. This is an unforgivable crime!
This righteous indignation gradually spread to ordinary people.

Early this morning, as soon as Qing Ning opened the courtyard door, a large piece of paper floated over.

Qing Ning picked it up and took a look, only to see two green-faced monsters with fangs drawn on the paper. One of them was half-masked, looking ferocious and terrifying.

"Oh, what kind of evil spirit is this painting?" Da Ya asked in surprise.

"Bug fan?" Erya took it over and read aloud, "Fan for bugs?"

Erya has been ridiculing her for being illiterate recently because of Xiang Xiaoyu, so whenever there is writing on paper, no matter whether it is correct or not, she always rushes to comment on it.

"Yu Wenyi." Xiang Xiaoyu gave her a lazy look: "If you can't read, don't show off."

Qing Ning took a closer look, and it really was.

This large piece of paper turned out to be a semi-transparent arrest warrant, and it was unknown who forged it. It was crudely made, and it was obvious that it was fake.

There are two people wanted on the paper, a traitor and a murderer.

Qing Ning looked at Dou Da's names below. It turned out that one refers to the crown prince Zhou Daijin, and the other refers to the Nanyue monarch Yu Wenyi.

"Boy! Stop!"

Suddenly, only a burst of shouts came from not far away.

A group of half-grown children were chasing after a small child.

"Stop! Don't run!"

"Traitor! Stop!"

"How dare you run! Catch and kill you!"

The child being chased was running fast in the alley when he suddenly staggered and tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.

The kid who was following him immediately pounced on him. He punched me and kicked me, beating the kid until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

Qing Ning recognized that the child who was beaten was the son of the neighbor Aunt Zhou's family, so she hurried over and said loudly, "What did he do wrong? Why are so many of you bullying him?"

Seeing that there are many people here, the children who were besieged and beaten did not dare to do anything wrong.

They stood up angrily, and the leading child spat at Aunt Zhou's son with a "Bah!" His face was full of contempt: "Bah! A traitor who is a disaster for the country! He should be killed!"

Qing Ning was puzzled when he heard this: "He is a child, what kind of country can he harm?"

"Ask him himself! He has completely disgraced the Zhou family's ancestors!" The leading child whistled, and a group of children ran out of the alley with a whoosh.

After blowing away the group of children, Qing Ning pulled Aunt Zhou's son up.

The child's face was swollen from the beating, his skin was torn in several places, and he cried like a cat.

Qing Ning fetched the medicine box to help him treat the wound, and asked with concern: "What's going on? Why did they beat you?"

"They say I'm a traitor to the country!..." Aunt Zhou's son cried.

It is very interesting for a child of eight or nine years old to be wronged and say this sentence seriously.

Qing Ning couldn't help asking amusedly, "Why are you ruining the country?"

Aunt Zhou's son spread out his palms.

It turned out that there was a small bead flower in his palm, although the texture was ordinary, but the workmanship was very delicate, as if it fell from some jewelry.

Qing Ning took a look and wondered, "This is your mother's bead flower? What does it have to do with this bead flower?"

"My mother has a pearl flower hairpin, which she bought from Sima Trading Company. It is from Nanyue. They said my mother used Nanyue's products, which is a traitor to the country!" Aunt Zhou's son said while crying: " They stole my mother's pearl flower hairpin! I went to grab it back, and only got this one, and they broke the rest of the pearl flower hairpin! They still beat me!"

After Aunt Zhou's son finished speaking, he started crying again.

Qing Ning couldn't help stroking his forehead to comfort him, and told him not to touch the wound with water, so he asked his aunt and erya to take him home.

"Miss Liang! Doctor Lin told you to go to the Chengbei Affordable Medical Center immediately! I need your help with something important!" Qing Ning had just returned to the yard when Doctor Han hurried in and said to Qing Ning.

"What's the matter?" Seeing his anxious expression, Qing Ning couldn't help asking anxiously.

"You'll know as soon as the girl goes, so I can't say much here." Doctor Han said solemnly: "The carriage is outside, and Miss Liang only needs to bring the medical kit. The rest are unnecessary. Doctor Lin told me that if there is something of better quality gold needles, bring a few pairs.”

Qing Ning thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

She tidied up the medical box, thought about it, and took the nine-inch gold needle left by her father, and put a few pairs of commonly used gold needles into the medical box.

"Miss Liang, please hurry up, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait over there." Physician Han led Qingning out of the yard quickly.

There was already a green carriage waiting at the entrance of the yard.

"Miss Liang, please get in the car." Physician Han opened the curtain for Qing Ning: "The rest of the people should not come. It's urgent, and people who don't know medical skills can't help."

Physician Han reached out and hugged the fat man who was about to squeeze up.
