"It's a curse, Youzhou is a cursed place, there is no food growing there at all!"

Although the fleeing people do not want to reveal their secrets, not everyone can keep their secrets perfectly in the face of coercion, not to mention some people have their own unique views on the curse.

"It's not that Youzhou is cursed, it's the evil spirit of fire. It has occupied our hometown and forced us to leave our homeland. Wherever the evil spirit goes, there will be no land, bringing endless disasters, and no one is left behind. We, they said, the capital city is under the foot of the emperor and can suppress evil spirits, so we left."

Youzhou is notoriously a poor place. From time to time there will be big and small disasters, such as droughts and earth dragons turning over. If there is too much rain in a year, there will be mountain torrents. Rushing down the houses of people at the foot of the mountain.

Even so, the people in Youzhou are not easy to leave, one is that their homeland is hard to leave, they grew up in Youzhou, and the old people are unwilling to leave the place they are familiar with: "When you go to other places, how do you know that you don't know where you are?" Will be bullied. Do you know where the door opens and where is the fruit tree on the mountain?"

Farmers who rely on farming for a living cannot do without their own fields. Abandoning their hometown means abandoning everything they once had, their houses, and the fields they depend on for a living. Most people are afraid of the unknown and changes, and it is difficult to leave their homeland. , even if it is death, they will die in their hometown. If there is no more terrible fear that overwhelms this point, they will never be willing to leave.

The eyes of these people with callused hands were full of flames, their bodies trembled, and fear overflowed from their clenched teeth: "The fire ghost burned the fields, the land was cracked, and no rice can be grown in the fields. Go to the fire ghosts." Wherever there is, the food will be affected..." For the rest, these disaster victims kept silent, refusing to say more.

Longjin, who went to the area where the victims passed by, easily learned what the victims refused to say.

The survivors, the birds, chirped: "It's the Hanba. There are Hanba in Youzhou. Wherever they go, the fields will dry up, and all the good food will be burned, and there will be a fire for no reason."

The people of Suzhou, who kept secrets from Youzhou refugees, said: "Whoever dares to take in these people, who knows if the disaster star is in there, the evil spirits have already plagued a large area of ​​land, and we must survive!"

Longjin pieced together the inaccurate truth from many aspects: Drought Demon, Vulcan, Plague God, Curse... Anyway, I don't know what it is, it brought disaster to Youzhou, and Youzhou is prone to water shortage , from time to time there is a small drought. Generally speaking, when there is a major drought, there are superstitious ghosts and gods who say that it is caused by a drought, but this time is different. In addition to not raining for several months, the land has dried up at an incredible speed. The food was also burned, and the fire was even more unexpected.

The relief food sent to Youzhou was obviously good along the way, but it was all burned by the sudden fire.For those profiteers who came to sell rice, the food was burned as soon as the goods arrived, and their pants were lost.

Businessmen value profits, so how dare they transport food in such a situation? The living do not want to starve to death, so they naturally pack up their belongings and flee outside.

But there were rumors that there was a catastrophe in their group, and wherever they went, there would be danger. After a fire broke out in their vicinity, the locals drove them away.Even if they are fine, the people nearby are determined not to take them in because they are afraid of attracting disaster stars.

When the refugees were about to collapse and despair, a white-haired immortal who looked like a fairy came to the world and pointed out the way of life for this group of people.The officials along the way did not want to accept the large number of victims in Youzhou, nor did they want their territory to be destroyed, so they turned a blind eye and let them go. Following the guidance of the "immortal", this group of people climbed mountains and waded thousands of miles to the capital.

After arriving in the capital, this group of victims lived a life of food and drink. Among the nearly 1 people, some of them were not far from the capital, and some were from the places where the disaster first occurred. Some of them were scolded by disaster stars, and some were people who sneaked in with ulterior motives. The personnel were very mixed, and the explanations were different.

But no matter where the disaster victims are, their instinct is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They are afraid that they will be labeled disaster stars and then driven away. : "The catastrophe stayed in Youzhou, it is Youzhou that is cursed!"

***

In a house with few people in the capital, a cute little girl with a pale complexion and watery eyes said, "That's all... that's really all I remember."

After saying this, she lowered her head deeply, not daring to look at the man in the moon-white brocade robe in front of her, or rather, the king of subjugation whom she was deeply afraid of, the new emperor who had just ascended the throne for less than a month.

Xu Ruotan went out to offer incense in the temple, but was knocked out. She was blindfolded and brought here. When the cloth covering her eyes was taken off, she saw a handsome face.

The young man has a handsome appearance and a gentle temperament. There is no aggressiveness in his body, but he is full of affinity. He looks like a modest gentleman who is easy to talk to. Because his temperament is too different from Xu Ruotan's memory, she didn't recognize him for a while.

But as soon as the other party opened his mouth and heard the voice, Xu Ruotan immediately put the person in front of him together with the powerful emperor in his memory.

Xu Ruotan couldn't help trembling, and the person in front of him also put away the Buddha's face, and looked at her with eyes that could see everything: "Miss Xu Si knows me, and is still very afraid of me."

Xu Ruotan didn't expect the emperor to confess his identity so quickly. If the emperor wants to find her as the emperor, there are many honest ways, but the emperor doesn't.

Xu Ruotan bit her lips: "No, my minister, I have seen His Majesty before, but His Majesty has never noticed me..."

Yan Qi smiled and said, "Oh? After I ascended the throne, this is the first time I have left the palace. Fourth Miss Xu, tell me, when and where did you meet me, and you recognized me as the emperor at a glance."

Before ascending the throne, not many people knew about Yan Qi, and even fewer knew that he was the former prince. The Xu family where Xu Ruotan lived was never Yan Qi's confidant. share of the pie.Xu Ruotan is a Miss Jiaojiao who doesn't leave the door, and can count the number of times she goes out on several hands. Where can I see him? Even if I see him in a crowd, how can I be sure that he is the current emperor? .

Too bad...Xu Ruotan thumped in his heart, and before he could find an excuse, he heard Yan Qi say, "Let me guess, it was you who saw me in a state of distress in the future, and said that I am the king of subjugation."

"I didn't! No." Xu Ruotan raised her head abruptly, and when she met those eyes that were as cold as a cold pool, she came to her senses, her reaction just now was exactly what Yan Qi had planned.If the emperor knows it, he knows everything!

Xu Ruotan has never seen Yan Qi murder with her own eyes, but she has known Yan Qi's methods from her cousin, uncle...and many people. She is too weak and very timid, and the emperor doesn't need to bother to worry about it. Said everything in one go.

Of course, Xu Ruotan is not a fool. When she said these things, she considered her tone, and she didn't dare to mention what others said to scold the emperor, and even deliberately concealed Xu Ruochen's existence.

"The Xu family has collapsed, the people have been displaced, many officers and soldiers broke in and killed many people..." Xu Ruotan's teeth were shaking when forced to recall those terrible scenes, but Yan Qi in front of her showed no sympathy. Heart.

"Send Miss Fourth back." After she finished speaking, Yan Qi was not as enraged and furious as Xu Ruotan imagined, but asked her to leave in a soft tone that could be called gentle.

Of course, she was blindfolded and sent out. The one who caught her was a young guard, unshaven, tall and burly, with a somewhat vicious appearance: "Miss Si is a smart person, and she should know not to talk nonsense."

Xu Ruotan's wrist was scratched, and he nodded desperately: "I know, I know, I didn't see anyone today!"

"Your Majesty." The emperor's confidant who was also present stood up, very dissatisfied with this bold Miss Xu family, "But you want me to deal with her?"

"Ms. Xu's family is the daughter of the boudoir, so you can't believe everything you say. Let's keep it for now. Maybe she can think of more in the future."

Xu Ruotan is obviously not an idiot, if it weren't for her eagerness to protect herself, her timid temper would not reveal anything.In fact, even if she said it, she would only be regarded as hysterical.If it wasn't for the presence of Long Jin, Yan Qi would not have guessed that Xu Ruotan was someone who had rebirth memories.

Long Jin only told Yan Qi to beware of Xu Ruochen, and Yan Qi sent additional people to monitor the entire Xu family. He easily discovered Xu Ruotan's problem. Combined with Longjin's words, Yan Qi became suspicious and guessed that Xu Ruotan might Has the ability to "predict the future".Today, I caught someone here for a fraud, and it was true.

Of course, it was impossible for him to take all Xu Ruotan's words seriously, after all, the other party was so frightened that his words were a little confused.Yan Qi didn't do anything to Xu Ruotan, not because he was sympathetic, but because he had heard similar words many times in Longjin.

Yan Qi was reshaped by the domineering dragon, and his first reaction was naturally impossible to be furious because the other party said that he had subjugated the country. He just wanted to extract all the use value of Xu Ruotan.

The little dragon hanging on the wrist of the emperor suddenly stood up, and the scales, which were much harder than before, rubbed against Yan Qi's soft skin, and directly wiped a bloodstain on his wrist.

It hurts to be injured, but Yan Qi still didn't change his face: "It's getting late, go back to the palace."

The little dragon cub reacted, which meant that Longjin was coming back soon.Yan Qi said before that Long Jin was too kind to him, but those words were not for Long Jin, but for himself.

Although they already had such a close relationship and even had a dragon egg, Yan Qi didn't feel that he had successfully restrained the dragon.He calmly warned himself that he must not rely too much on the other party.

The more he asked for Long Jin, the more he relied on him, but the other party didn't really ask for him. The relationship between them was like a flower in the mirror, and as long as the other party was unhappy, it would be broken casually.

In Yan Qi's view, no one can be truly trusted, even his blood relatives can't believe it at all. Only interests can bind people together.

When he returned to the palace, Long Jin hadn't returned yet, Yan Qi counted the time, opened the window, and stood in front of the window, waiting for Jin Long.

After standing for about a quarter of an hour, he opened the window and tapped his fingertips on the wide sleeve three times, one, two, three... Yan Qi took two steps forward, raised his face, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and the corners of his lips were raised. With a perfect arc: "Longjin, you are back."

The golden dragon came towards the wind on time, turned into a handsome and powerful human figure, and landed beside Yan Qi: "I'm back!"

Long Jin pinched the little emperor's cold hands: "You don't have to stand all the time."

"I just want to see you, and Long Xi also wants to. In fact, I just opened the window, and I haven't waited long." Yan Qi said nasty words that he would never have uttered a month ago.

Yan Qi thought, how could it be useless, he specially opened the window and stood here in advance, just to let the dragon with excellent eyesight see it, in order not to let him wait too long in the cold wind, Longjin came back more and more quickly more punctual.

There are some things that he can't talk about, but when he has Long Xi, he can use the mouth of the dragon cub to tell what he did silently.

Some things, after dozens of days in a row, become a habit. Yan abandons the habit of using subtleties to restrain Jinlong. He looks at Jinlong with a smile. Just this kind of invisible chain is not enough, far from enough .
