Qin Zhi jumped off his horse and walked in front of Lin Yao.Since he ascended the throne, he has never been in such a dilemma as he is now. He is reluctant to let Lin Yao leave, and he has no way to use his status as emperor to force Lin Yao, because he knows that doing so will only make Lin Yao angry and sad.

He is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, who controls the highest position of power, but at this moment he feels extremely powerless, helpless, and has nothing to do with Lin Yao.

"What if I take you back?"

Lin Yao was silent for a while, looked at Qin Zhi with a smile and shook his head and said, "I know you won't."

If possible, Qin Zhi really wants to knock Lin Yao unconscious and take him back. It's not like he hasn't done this before, but now he can't.

"I'm worried about you."

"I know." Lin Yao stepped forward, took Qin Zhi's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will be very careful. Nothing will happen. You and Yue Yue are still waiting for me in Qin, how could I risk my life .”

Qin Zhi didn't say anything, he didn't come back this time to stop Lin Yao.

He then took out a kit from his bosom and introduced it to Lin Yao: "This token can mobilize the spies hidden in Xiacheng. This piece of paper is the list of spies, and you should destroy it immediately after memorizing it. These porcelain vases They are filled with detoxification pills and pills that can suppress estrus. Also, these people are selected by me, and I asked Wei Lingyang to accompany you..."

Qin Zhi rambled on for a long time, almost helped Lin Yao think of everything, and prepared everything for him.

Lin Yao looked at Qin Zhi and said that he was not allowed to go, but secretly prepared these things, and there was a warm current in his heart, and he was so moved that tears flickered in Qin Zhi's eyes.

Seeing that Lin Yao was told to cry, Qin Zhi was at a loss for a moment: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Lin Yao shook his head, hugged Qin Zhi with a smile, and said in a low voice, "No, you didn't say anything wrong. I just can't bear you, why are you so kind to me?"

Qin Zhi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and patted Lin Yao on the back with a smile: "You are my queen, if I don't treat you well, who will I treat you well?"

"Ah."

Lin Yao said something in a low voice, paused for a while, and then called out again in a low voice: "Ah Zhi, I love you."

He spoke very softly, with a gentle and caring tone, and he did not call His Majesty Qin Zhi as usual, but the more intimate "A Zhi".

Qin Zhi didn't feel offended, he just felt that following Lin Yao's words, his heart beat faster and faster, as if he was about to jump out, and his whole body became hot.

This is the first time Lin Yao said "love" to him so bluntly.

Qin Zhi suddenly stammered: "Zhen... I also love Yaoyao."

Lin Yao smiled brightly: "The more you get along with your majesty, the better you feel. I know that your majesty has suffered a lot and has experienced many near-deaths, but from now on, with me and Yueyue by your side, you will never I am alone. I will grow old with His Majesty, guard Qin together, and watch Yueyue grow up together."

Qin Zhi hugged Lin Yao's arm tightly, as if he was going to embed him in his arms, and said in a low voice, "If you continue talking, I will really be reluctant to let you go."

The trail was quiet, and the two of them just hugged each other until the sunset faded from the sky and night fell.

"Let's go." Qin Zhi took the initiative to let go of his hand: "There is still time to rush to the next city, so we should rest there for a night before leaving."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wei Lingyang again: "Protect the queen well and never let him make any mistakes, you know?"

Wei Lingyang knelt down to receive the decree and said: "Yes. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to protect the Queen."

After a long delay, Lin Yao had to leave if she didn't want to.He boarded the carriage, raised the curtain and looked at Qin Zhi.

The horses stepped forward, and the carriage gradually moved away.When Qin Zhi could no longer be seen, Lin Yao put down the curtain in a sense of regret.

If Qin Zhi hadn't pushed him away just now, he almost didn't want to leave.But if the matter between Xia Guo and Lin Yunfu is not resolved, Lin Yao will always feel uneasy. After all, the original Qin country was indeed destroyed by Xia Guo, and he is afraid that everything will develop as written in the original book.

He guessed that Qin Zhi would come, but he still didn't expect Qin Zhi to be so considerate for him.Lin Yao held the kit tightly, her heart filled with joy and sweetness.

He unfolded the list of spies first, wrote down all of them, and burned them to ashes casually.

Lin Yao originally planned to go to Xu Huaixuan to borrow Fu Lin's help. After all, Fu Lin is highly skilled in martial arts, and he can save his life without worry.But now that Qin Zhi sent Wei Lingyang to him, along with these guards, Lin Yao gave up the idea of ​​looking for Fu Lin.

Then the carriage drove all the way, and soon arrived at the next town. Lin Yao also went to the inn to rest for a night before setting off.

Ten days later, Lin Yao and others arrived in Xia Guo smoothly.The border between Xia State and Qin State was calm, and there was nothing unusual, but the further he went to Xia, Lin Yao found that there were more and more disaster victims on the road.

At first there were only two or three people, and gradually they formed in groups.These victims are ragged, unkempt, including women, children, old people, and relatively few young adults.They obviously walked for a long time, all of them were so hungry that they were pale and emaciated, and some of them fell on the side of the road, wailing everywhere.

Lin Yao brought a lot of dry food and money. At the beginning, he would rescue the young and elderly people who were dying of hunger on the side of the road, but then there were too many people, and he couldn't save them, so he had no choice but to give up.

The people in Qin are healthy and prosperous. Lin Yao has never seen such a horrible scene. Smelly starving corpses can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

He asked Wei Lingyang to ask someone to find out that the victims were from Baijiang County.Baijiang County is a long way from here. These victims have walked for at least half a month on foot. No wonder all of them are skinny and unable to support themselves.

Fortunately, the town in front is close at hand, and after crossing this town, you can reach the capital of Xia Kingdom smoothly.

Wei Lingyang said: "A month ago, heavy rain poured down in Baijiang County, and the embankment of the Nanjiang River was washed away. The river water poured into Baijiang County, submerging the county town and the land. There were countless casualties in that flood, and those who survived hurriedly packed up their belongings and prepared Flee elsewhere, stay and die."

"Did Xia send someone to send food and grass to rescue the disaster?"

"No. The situation in Xia Kingdom is very chaotic now. Lin Yunfu is busy eradicating the rebellious party and proclaiming himself emperor, so he has no time to take care of the affairs of Baijiang County. Moreover, his subordinates heard from the disaster victims that Xia Kingdom started compulsory conscription half a month ago. This is also the reason why young and middle-aged people are rarely seen on the road.”

Wei Lingyang didn't say it clearly, but Lin Yao can probably guess it.Xia Guo suddenly began to conscription on a large scale, nothing more than hoarding strength to prepare for a counterattack.As for the target of the counterattack, you don't need to think about it.

Lin Yao knew it well, and glanced outside the carriage at the haggard woman with her luggage and a few children on her back, then at the town not far away, and sighed: "I don't care about the lives of innocent people, Lin Yunfu How can you be a Mingjun. Fortunately, the town will arrive soon, and the county magistrate should open a warehouse to release food for the victims."

Under Lin Yao's influence, Qin Zhi is not the original villain, and Lin Yunfu is probably not the original Mingjun either.

Walking all the way from Qin, Lin Yao could feel that Xia's people are struggling and complaining.There were even rumors in private that if Lin Yunfu ascended the throne, Xia would exist in name only.

About an hour later, Lin Yao and others arrived at the nearest town, Yanmeng.After walking behind Yanmeng for a few days, you can reach the capital of Xia.

But when he arrived in Yanmeng, Lin Yao found that the situation was not getting better, but getting worse.Yan Meng did not open a warehouse to release grain to relieve the victims as Lin Yao thought, but closed the city gates to prevent the victims from entering.

Lin Yao saw many disaster victims gathered outside Yanmeng City, and was in a dilemma.

Yanmeng is not far from the capital, since the gates of Yanmeng city are closed, why don't these disaster victims bypass Yanmeng and go to the capital?

Lin Yao thought about it and asked Wei Lingyang to ask the reason.

Only after this question did I know that there is indeed a detour to reach the capital. That road used to be unimpeded, but now it is full of bandits.These bandits are all strong and strong in martial arts. They rob and kill everyone they meet, which is inhumane.

Previously, some disaster victims tried to fight against those bandits, but they were all dead or injured, and they were not opponents of bandits at all.

So now the road to the capital is blocked, and going back is a dead end, so they can only gather outside and wait helplessly for death.

After hearing this, Lin Yao's heart sank. Yanmeng is very close to the capital. Lin Yunfu must have known about this, but he did not send people to suppress the bandits to help the victims. This is really unconscionable. No wonder the people now treat him so much. resentment.

When the carriage arrived outside Yanmeng City, Wei Lingyang came to ask Lin Yao if he was entering the city now.It is not difficult for them to enter the city and steal a few household registration certificates.

"No hurry." Lin Yao lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the nearly a thousand victims who were lying or sitting outside: "We must first find a way to save people, and these people will die if we drag on."

It was inconvenient for them to bring so much food and grass on this trip, but the silver was enough, so Lin Yao discussed with Wei Lingyang to see if he could go to the city to buy some food, at least to spend tonight.He saw many victims dying, and wondered how many more people would die after that night.

The two were discussing in the carriage, and suddenly a guard came to report to Lin Yao, saying that a person who claimed to be a subordinate of General Duan asked to see him.

Lin Yao sent a letter to Duan Qi before coming to Xiaxia, but he didn't expect Duan Qi to find him so soon.He has never met Duan Qi, and he is still wary of the other party, but this does not prevent him from cooperating with Duan Qi.

"Please." Lin Yao said.
