Since the beginning of autumn, the northern part of Da Chu has not seen rain for more than five months due to drought, killing countless crops and causing a sharp drop in food supplies.
Many people were affected by the disaster and had to flee their homes for a living and gathered outside the wealthy imperial capital.
When the King of Chu learned about this, he immediately sent ministers and allocated disaster relief funds and food to the north to provide disaster relief. The people who fled outside the city were handed over to the regent for resettlement.
Chu Dichi personally settled the victims, dispatched doctors, distributed supplies, and ordered people to build porridge sheds to distribute porridge outside the city.
Out of the city.
Arrived at the gathering place of disaster victims.
Many disaster victims saw him and came over gratefully:
"Regent, God's grace, the Emperor's grace, please save us common people."
"Thank you, Regent..."
"You are a good person!"
However, Chu Dichi had a gloomy expression as he sat high on the horse's back. His solemn and arrogant look made people only dare to watch him from afar and not dare to approach him.
Many people looked a little scared.
Bai Jinyi stepped forward and said with a smile, "The Regent King is a man of few words, and he has always been like this. He came here in person because he cares about you."
The victims nodded in sudden realization.
right.
The regent is a noble person, but he always takes care of things personally and cares about the common people. He is a leader worthy of support.
Over here at the porridge stall.
The victims lined up in three rows, holding their bowls one by one.
Xiao Yexing rolled up his sleeves and held a large spoon, also doing the work himself. When he saw Chu Dichi and Bai Jinyi coming, the first thing he saw was Chu Dichi's liver-colored face.
"What's wrong?"
"The emperor sent you to serve porridge. Even if you are unhappy, don't show it so obviously. Now you have no military power and no real job. It's good enough that you can serve porridge."
Xiao Yexing put the big iron spoon into Chu Dichi's hand.
Look at his gloomy face. The hand that usually holds a sword to kill the enemy is now holding an iron spoon to make porridge. This picture is so funny no matter how you look at it.
Very funny.
Hahaha!
"You have come to this day, too."
Xiao Yexing found it very funny.
But as he laughed, he saw that his face was gloomy, unlike usual, so Xiao Yexing gradually calmed down: "Well, a real man can bend and stretch. Recently, the Ministry of War reported that the Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the Seventh Prince have all inquired about the Black Armor Guards' rights. Why not take this opportunity to have a good rest?"
Stop making such a donkey face.
Chu Dichi coldly picked up the spoon and served porridge to the victims in line.
Hands raised, hands dropped, as if in military training.
Bang!
Bang!
One spoonful makes a big bowl, one spoonful makes a big bowl. The victims were so scared that their hands were shaking as they held the bowl.
Xiao Yexing vaguely sensed something was wrong, looked at Bai Jinyi, and asked in a low voice: "Who provoked him?"
"Don't mention it. On the way out of the city, I ran into his nephew who was so mean. He got really mad at me."
"Ninth Prince?"
Bai Jinyi waved his folding fan, "Who else could it be?"
"Why is he angry with the Ninth Prince? He has always been at odds with the Emperor. If the Ninth Prince goes against him, he will just kill him. Could it be that he is reluctant to do so?"
Bai Jinyi covered his face with a folding fan and whispered:
"The Ninth Prince went to play with your little nephew and left him behind."
“I don’t think it’s a big deal.”
Xiao Yexing said, "The Ninth Prince and Qin Muyu grew up together, studied together, played together, and were as close as brothers. Besides, this is not considered as being outspoken. If you ask me, he, the imperial uncle, is the outsider."
I really don't know what he is angry about?
Bai Jinyi just smiled.
Who knows?
Xiao Yexing saw that Chu Dichi looked gloomy, which was really not good. After all, he was Qin Muyu's uncle, and his words carried weight.
He immediately called a guard and ordered:
"The victims are running low on food. Tell General Qin to deliver it immediately without delay."
"yes."
But soon, the guard came back:
"Your Excellency, General Qin is not in the General's Mansion. I sent people to look for him in the places he often goes, but I couldn't find him."
Xiao Yexing frowned.
The imperial capital is so small, can you still fly?
"Send someone to look for it again."
"yes!"
As soon as the guard left, a man who looked like a butler came running over breathlessly: "Oh no, sir! General Qin brought the Ninth Prince to our house, entered your secret room, and even used your ice bed!"
What? !
He had spent several years searching for the ice bed from the far north, and it was an excellent tool for practicing martial arts.
He himself was reluctant to use it, yet Qin Muyu actually gave it to an outsider!
And the secret room is filled with his treasures!
Xiao Yexing stared in astonishment: "This traitorous bastard!"
Bai Jinyi was surprised and said, "Didn't you say that they grew up together and are as close as brothers? How can this be considered as betrayal? Perhaps in the eyes of General Qin, you, his uncle, are an outsider."
"..."
-
at this time.
Xiao family.
In the secret room, an azure ice bed was emitting scorching cold air that could almost freeze the entire space. Chu Li was lying on it, with heat waves surging inside his body and ice invading outside his body, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"Ari, are you feeling better?"
"Hot... cold..."
"Don't worry, I'll find a way, I'll find a way!" Qin Muyu quickly ran to the closet, rummaged through the drawers, and took out a handful of red and green bottles and jars.
"Ahri, look, these are the medicines my uncle uses for practicing martial arts. I heard that each pill is worth a thousand gold... But which bottle can relieve the effects of the medicine?"
He searched everywhere frantically.
Is this bottle of red?
Or is it this black bottle?
Never mind!
They are all good medicines and will not kill people.
"Ali, take these white ones, quickly!" He swallowed two pills and picked up a bottle of pills with a strong medicinal fragrance that seemed to penetrate the Ren and Du meridians and calm the mind.
"This must be good too. Eat some of this! And this... this is good too."
Qin Muyu gave all the good things to Chu Li.
"Ahri, do you feel better now?"
"I……"
After swallowing so many pills, my throat felt dry and sticky.
Chu Li swallowed hard, "Mu Yu, if you do this, will your uncle beat you up?"
「没关系，我娘可疼我了，他不敢揍我。」
Qin Muyu's mother and Xiao Yexing are sisters, but Xiao Yexing is his grandmother's late-born son, so he is only a few years older than him.
“Ahem… ahem.”
"Hurry up and drink a glass of water to calm down!"
After taking the pill, Chu Li didn't know what effect it had, but it made his stomach churn and his internal energy surge.
What a great medicine!
I have been practicing my master's skills for the past few years, but I didn't expect to make such a sudden progress now.
At this time, someone outside was shouting:
"Young Master, Commander Xiao is calling you. He said that the victims outside the city are running short of food and will soon be out of food supply. He wants you to go and provide support immediately without delay!"
Qin Muyu turned his head and said, "Say I'm busy."
"Muyu!"
Chu Li held his hand and said, "Go and do your work. Don't worry about me. I'll be here and everything will be fine soon."
"If I leave and you stay alone, I will be worried."
"I'll wait for you to come back."
Qin Muyu's face was gloomy. Even though he was unwilling, he couldn't delay the rescue of the disaster victims. He immediately stood up and said, "I'll go quickly and come back soon!"
Chu Li sat cross-legged, and with the help of the ice bed, he immediately circulated his surging internal energy to suppress the heat wave.
I just don’t know what kind of medicine I took, but it’s so powerful and it’s still taking its toll.
Another heat wave is coming.
She felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Suddenly, a big palm pressed against her back, and a strong breath rushed into her body, instantly helping her to regulate her breathing and suppress her emotions.
Chu Li was surprised:
"You're back so soon?"
