Jianghai Wuyue

Chen Ling didn't quite understand what she meant, but he figured it out in a flash. If a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake, even an official of the imperial court can only make compromises under such a behemoth as Yeyou Palace.What's more, Hongzhou now...

Chen Ling turned his head and looked at the low houses on both sides of the street. Unlike Yuzhou, who had started to build houses with solid white clay and stones, he still made a low earth house with scattered loess as in the old days. The gate facing the street is also two simple wooden boards built together, and if it is chained, it is regarded as the most important facade of a family.Riding on a horse, you can even clearly see the straw and firewood piled up in the yard.A few little girls were sitting in the yard, mending clothes with their needles and threads. Next to them was a boy dressed much smaller than these little girls, rolling around on the ground with his nose soaked.The girl who is about eleven or twelve years old has already had the vicissitudes of being a married woman. While working, she has to carefully serve the only boy in the family.

Seeing Chen Ling and the young masters who were obviously foreigners, the shyness and curiosity of ordinary little girls did not appear on their faces, they just glanced at them indifferently, and when they lowered their eyes, there was a faint envy in secret.

What they envy are the clothes on them, which are worth thousands of gold at first glance. If such a dress is exchanged for real gold and silver, it is afraid that their family will be able to lie on the gold bricks for a lifetime.

Chen Ling felt a little sour in his heart, no matter how bad the seniors in the sect were, they had never worried about money. In their eyes, money was just a vulgar thing.Even if the silver is hung on the very side, they will feel that it has tarnished their noble temperament.There is even a senior sister who wished that she would not see silver, gold and other tacky colors when she was around, as long as she was clean, rainy and dewy, and worshiped the sky and the moon.Little did she know that the yellow and white things she disliked the most were the root of her profligacy now.

The girl named Hongxiu sitting in the bullock cart had sore eyes, turned her head away and wiped away the tears that were about to roll out, and said in a cold voice: "Young master now only thinks this family is pitiful, but he doesn't know that the really poor Lian With nothing to feed their stomachs, the whole family can only huddle in the old forest deep in the mountains, digging wild vegetable bark to make ends meet. I don’t know how many died of starvation on the mountain. I’m afraid that the bones will soon cover Guanyin Mountain. It's clean."

Wang Qi's face was gloomy, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, the fingers holding the whip in his hand turned white hard, the anger in his chest endured for a long time, and he forcefully choked back into his stomach, and said forcefully: "This is the night tour palace. Are you so unscrupulous? What about those rich and noble families? They can't stand watching, let Yeyou Palace be pressed on top of their heads like this!"

Hongzhou is Wang Qi's hometown. He never said it clearly, but Chen Ling and others already knew it tacitly. The closer he was to Hongzhou along the way, the more obvious his strangeness became. .Now it's too much to take the initiative to talk to the rescued girl with an ugly face.

Hongxiu sniffed, and said in a nasty voice: "How can those rich and noble families care about our lives? It's too late for those who visit the palace to beg these high-ranking families. I don't know how many benefits they have promised. Anyone in the city The beautiful girl was either forcibly taken away by the Yeyou Palace, or sent to these high-ranking families." When talking about this matter, the red sleeves shot out a lot of hatred, and the pale and dry eyes were raised. Sharp canine teeth protruded from his lips, like a female beast that chooses to eat someone.

"My elder sister... was dragged away by these bastards. Last month, the Wang family threw my elder sister to the mass grave like a rag! When I go, elder sister His body has already been eaten clean." Hongxiu finished speaking with her head bowed and sobbing, her lips clenched tightly, if not for the lack of strength now, I am afraid that her resentful voice would have scared people into trembling .

Chen Ling didn't know how many royal families there were in Hongzhou, but the royal families probably had something to do with Wang Qi's family.Chao Wang Qi, who was a little worried in Chen Ling, glanced at him, but saw that there was no bad expression on his face, but the bulging veins on his arms looked like green snakes, silently revealing extreme disgust.

Yuan Qingzhang didn't want to make Chen Ling worry about these things anymore, and said in a rather lazy tone: "There are so many people talking, I can't say anything. Now there are no people, so you can always talk about it. Why? Haunt us."

Yuan Qingzhang's tone was even a little lazy and soft, falling in Chen Ling's ears, such a voice was always accompanied by a sweet and simple confession.But falling into Hong Xiu's ears, it seemed like the most icy and cold snow wind, engulfing large areas of blizzard and ice edges, trying to wring bloody holes out of her body.

Facing Chen Ling, she could still pretend to be pitiful by retreating to achieve her goal, but facing Yuan Qingzhang, Hongxiu really didn't have the courage to dare to repeat the old trick.She had a beast-like intuition, when she was at the gate of the city, if it weren't for the young man who was as bright as the moon beside her, she might have been bloody the moment she made a sound.

Biting his lips, he finally said honestly: "I ask you to help me take revenge. I don't ask for anything else, I just ask you to hand over the enemy to me, and I will bear the rest of the blame. I will reward my benefactor with the secret treasure of my family."
