[Eastern] Xiaoao ol tour

The drought intensified.

In the beginning, the uprising consisted of more than a hundred hungry refugees who smashed up most unscrupulous shops and took money to buy rice. Later, it developed into a riot of tens of thousands of people in Sichuan Province.The local magistrate dispatched the yamen to catch up and catch several of the leaders.A few days later, the yamen was smashed, and the Christians escaped, and the criminals in the prison also escaped.

The magistrates were frightened and blamed their superiors, and took the money from corruption and bribery in recent years, and took the whole family to escape and hide.

The area of ​​drought this time is relatively wide, and everyone in the north of Sichuan and Shanxi has suffered.Seeing that the government is so ineffective, the hungry people in other places rioted accordingly.

Local officials submitted memorials, and finally a batch of relief money was allocated.However, when it was in the hands of the magistrate, only a thousand taels of silver remained!All the officials only lamented the abnormal movement of the sky, fearing that the throne of the emperor would change!

Fortunately, at the end of February, Liu Jin finally squeezed out Xie Qian and others. In order not to make Ming Wu Zongxiao deceive himself into embezzling disaster funds, he decisively sent [-] soldiers to suppress the riot.

The soldiers arrived in Hebei on March [-], led by Liu Jin's elder brother Tan Dayong.Two days later, the vanguard of the [-] rebels was successfully suppressed.Tan Dayong, in order to show Liu Jin's benevolence and concern for people's livelihood, only put most of them in prison, and five of the leaders were beheaded at noon of the same day.

So far, the political situation in Hebei has temporarily stabilized.

The riots of the hungry people caused great losses, at least the Sun Moon God Sect suffered greatly from it!

The Sun Moon God Sect business firms spread all over the country, and there were at least dozens or twenty places where there were uprisings.

Even though the way to make money has been hidden in the dark, the commercial firms on the bright side have suffered greatly.No matter if the hungry people rob banknotes and finances, sometimes they want to set fire to the shop!The people from the branch hall went to stop them, how could they know that some of them are good at martial arts, and they are not weak!

Dongfang Bubai heard that the two branches reported losses, and smashed the armrest of the chair in anger.

A group of elders and hall masters left Heimuya one after another to find out the reality.Knowing that the other sects tripped up secretly, the elders smashed several shops in Songshan, Hengshan and other shops in extreme anger, and then several small-scale battles broke out.

It wasn't until the uprising of the rebel army that the two ways died down, maintaining a delicate balance.

All in all, this year has been extremely irritating and fulfilling.

Now that the rebel army has been suppressed, and the government officials have kept their heads, they have taken up the idea of ​​the local wealthy businessmen.The reason is naturally that the disaster relief funds have been intercepted by Liu Jin, Tan Dayong made it easy for Liu Jin to reach a tacit understanding, and wanted to exchange some useless official names for a large amount of gold and silver.

Dugu Ying heard about it, wrote a letter to Nanke and said: "...Liu Jin is insatiably greedy and will use everything to his extreme! I hope you must remember the principle of not revealing your wealth!"

Therefore, when the government came to invite the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect to discuss the matter, Nan Ke brought three people there.

Nan Ke, dressed in commoner clothes, could still catch the eye, and under Tan Dayong's cold gaze, he replied dodgyly: "Everyone is responsible for the prosperity of the country... However, I have to eat hundreds of mouths up and down Heimuya, and I really can't afford any money. If it’s not like this, my teacher still has a hoard of surplus food, and I can’t eat it all in the short term, so tomorrow I will give out porridge.”

Under Tan Dayong's eccentric tone, Nan Ke's complexion was pale, and Nuo Nuo took a crumpled thousand tael silver note and three chapter hundred tael silver notes, and then, under Tan Dayong's disdainful eyes, he felt relieved like an amnesty .

The next day, the government learned that the Sun Moon God taught them to give porridge under Heimuya.Nanke sent nearly a thousand people from the Sun Moon God Sect to maintain order, and there were more than a thousand people queuing up to get the porridge, orderly.Since then, the Sun Moon God Sect has also established a good reputation among the people of Hebei.

Dongfang Bubai felt a dull pain in his heart when he learned that Nan Ke performed so submissively.He was so angry that he even wanted to take the life of that brave dog, but Nan Ke held his hand: "You didn't drink today, why are you so impulsive? He is a member of the imperial court, and behind you, there is Heimuya !"

Dongfang Bubai bit his lip: "Do you know why I am impulsive? Why do you have to compromise!"

Nan Ke smiled, and it didn't matter: "I know, you are for me. But Dongfang Bubai, I'm just putting on a show. It's enough for you to know what kind of person I am!"

Dongfang Bubai's heart was slightly sweet, but he still couldn't hide his anger: "That dog official had better not be seen by me, otherwise he will be killed!"

When Nan Ke heard this, his smile deepened.

In March, Heimuya is beautiful in spring.

Dongfang Bubai was standing in the courtyard hand in hand with Nan Ke, the sun fell on his young and handsome face, just like Di Hua's handsome and bright face.Time wiped away his youthful indifference, and precipitated his gentleness and calmness.Dongfang Bubai looked at it, and couldn't help being a little crazy.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he leaned over to kiss him.

Nan Ke was startled, his breath was unstable, and he took a step back subconsciously.

Both of them were stunned.

Dongfang Bubai suddenly remembered that this has happened no less than twenty times in the past year... At first Nan Ke only backed away when he was emotional, but later on he didn't even dare to kiss or touch intimately...

His complexion gradually became gloomy and unpredictable.

Seeing it, Nan Ke felt vaguely uncertain, and apologetically turned his eyes away: "Sorry, I'm not... I'm a little tired."

Dongfang Bubai just stared at him blankly, as if he had never heard of it.He stared at it for a long time, then turned his eyes and said softly: "Since you don't like me, why are you still with me?"

Nan Ke was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said: "No, how could I not like you."

Dongfang Bubai said nothing.

Nan Ke's smile gradually froze at the corner of his mouth, and he frowned for a while and said, "...What's wrong with you?"

Dongfang Bubai clenched his fist, he endured it for so long, and finally couldn't bear it anymore: "You keep saying you like it, but why did you want to hide just now?"

Nan Ke paused for a while before saying, "I'm just tired..."

Dongfang Bubai suddenly said: "Lie!"

The ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger, Nan Ke shook Dongfang Bubai's hand, and tightened it slightly: "Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while... Be good, huh?"

Dongfang Bubai heard a sad smile, and abruptly shook off Nan Ke's hand: "Why are you coaxing me with the words of a miracle? I'm not a miracle—!"

He has never been a miracle, why did Nan Ke coax him?When he is a three-year-old child?Or, never took him to heart? !

Nan Ke was silent for a while, then took a step forward, and hugged him into his arms: "I didn't stop touching you...I just..."

Before he finished speaking, Dongfang Bubai pushed him away and interrupted him: "Enough! How long are you going to lie to me? Don't lie to me again!"

Nan Ke choked, staring blankly at the tired Dongfang Bubai.

"You don't want me to touch you, so why do you treat me so well? The better you treat me, the less I can convince myself that you are not out of guilt or sympathy!"

"I can't even justify myself anymore, saying that you are with me because you like it...I can't convince myself that you like it, that's why...don't touch me."

Dongfang Bubai's voice was choked with sobs: "There has always been a gap between you and me. You have been pretending that you don't exist, and I pretend that you don't know. To this day, you still have to cover up, but I can't stand it!"

Nan Ke finally came back to his senses.His face was a little pale, so he interrupted without hesitation: "It's not suitable for you and me to talk about this topic today. I'll go back first... When you calm down, we will talk about it."

Dongfang Bubai gritted his teeth and said, "Don't run away anymore!"

He closed his eyes, and said softly: "You said you wanted power, and I'll give it to you... I didn't even ask why. But Nan Ke, if leaving is the premise, do you think I can really bear it?"

"...Stop talking, Dongfang Invincible."

"Heh..." Dongfang Bubai laughed at himself, took a step forward, and stared at Nan Ke quietly, his eyes were persuasive and deep. "I personally gave you power and status with my own hands... I never asked why. Then I pushed you away from me with my own hands..."

Dongfang Bubai trembled all over, and even faintly despaired in his eyes: "...Nan Ke, what did you say to admit defeat at the beginning?"

"Even though you have me in your heart, you still can't let go of the idea of ​​leaving... Nanke, even if that's the case, why do you still have to admit defeat?"

"Are you sympathizing with me?"

"……Is it?"

Nan Ke's heart ached sharply, but his throat seemed to be strangled, unable to utter a single word.He stared into Dongfang Bubai's eyes, only seeing boundless pain and despair far away.

He seemed to be absent-minded, and murmured: "...I didn't..."

When Dongfang Bubai heard it, his eyes turned red.He turned his eyes away and smiled miserably: "What are you doing? Are you pitying me?... You are wrong! Even if I deserve the pity of all the people in the world, I don't need your sympathy!"

"Nan Ke... why don't you justify?"

He saw Nan Ke look away, expressionless.Such alienation and indifference, like meeting for the first time, this person's eyes are indifferent and indifferent.Dongfang Bubai felt as if his heart was being pierced by a knife, and said slowly: "Now that things have come to this, do you still want to leave?"

Nan Ke didn't answer.

Most likely, there is no answer.

Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai burst out laughing.

He suddenly restrained his face, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, I don't need your sympathy! Why don't you and I just go our separate ways!"

When Nan Ke heard it, his heart was shocked.He looked at Dongfang Bubai, and saw him looking at him quietly, his eyes were so calm as if nothing had happened.

——but it seemed as if there was a sword hanging over his head, forcing him to make a decision.

"Qing'er!"

After a while, the door was pushed open by Qing'er.Dongfang Bubai still stared at Nan Ke for a moment, as if greedy.He said calmly: "Quickly go to General Ping Yizhi, Xiang Zuo Shi, Brother Tong, Elder Sang... Please come."

Qing'er lowered her eyes, seeing that there seemed to be some incomprehensible things between the leader and the deputy leader, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes.Then he respectfully responded and ordered to invite people.

The door creaked and was closed again.

Dongfang Bubai suddenly raised his palm, and hit himself hard before Nan Ke could react.Nan Ke opened his eyes wide, seeing him spitting blood, but the corners of his mouth were extremely happy.

He continued intermittently: "...Nanke...you are too ruthless...but today, I will be more ruthless than you...if you want power...this seat...let me go!" He paused, as if exhausted With all his strength, he paused word by word: "From now on, regardless of whether you are down or out... In this life, I will never regret it!"

Nan Ke had never felt panic and fear in his heart, he hurriedly caught Dongfang Bubai's falling body.Seeing his pale face, he couldn't say a word of comfort or rejection.

Is it wrong... He closed his eyes, feeling extremely bitter.

Suddenly, Dongfang Bubai's words came to mind.

——From then on, regardless of whether you are poor or crazy... I will never regret it in my life!
