Zheng Yeheng has recovered.
However, he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, which started from the moment Li Wangshi left. It must be that the heat poison was about to relapse, torturing his heart and lungs.
Otherwise, why would my heart feel so painful as if it were torn apart?
At this time, he came to the study, spread out the paper, dipped it in ink, and kept drawing on the paper.
With a few strokes to the left and a few to the right, he had unknowingly drawn a slender shadow.
He suddenly came to his senses, crumpled up the paper, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it a few times in annoyance.
Suddenly, Hong Jiu knocked on the door and said, "Master, Li Wangshi has come back again."
Zheng Yeheng was stunned, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. He picked up the paper ball, dusted it off again, flattened it, pressed the wrinkles with a paperweight, and finally stuffed it into a large book.
Then he slowly took a sip of tea and said, "The tea is cold. Change the tea for me. Let Mrs. Li wait a moment."
Hong Jiu said: "Yes!"
Before Hong Jiu finished making the tea, Zheng Yeheng walked out.
"Your Highness, I've only made half of the tea! Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Who's in a hurry? I just don't want to drink anymore."
Hong Jiu: “…”
You are the master, whatever you say is reasonable.
Wang Yi stood in the hall clutching his handkerchief, and didn't dare to sit down because he had something to ask for help.
She thought about what her sons had said just now after seeing what happened to the village chief's family. They insisted on buying supplies in Qingdong City and returning to Yequpo to reclaim the wasteland, because it was really not easy outside and they would only be exploited like slaves.
The sons couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
The village chief's family was so moved that they burst into tears. There were more than a dozen people in their family. They had been skinned alive every time they went to the city. They finally found a job carrying wood for a day, earning twenty copper coins per person.
But the other party was very stingy and was unwilling to pay even this small amount of copper coins. When he saw him being hit by a piece of wood, he insisted that bloody disasters were unlucky and refused to pay him the remaining wages.
Without today's wages, they wouldn't be able to stay in the city tomorrow and would have to continue heading north. But their family had little food left, and going any further would only lead to death. Only then did they see their fellow townspeople and burst into tears.
After crying like this, Li Shenggen and others wanted to return to Yesepo and persuade Wang Yi again.
Wang Yi didn't want to affect their main storyline, but it was definitely not appropriate to go back to Yequnpo. There was not even any grass roots or tree bark left there. How could they get through?
After much thought, I think the prince's method is better.
Find a vacant lot between Yeyupo and Qingdong City and settle down there first. Wait and see how things go. If I can truly be protected by the prince's personal soldiers and live a peaceful life, that wouldn't be a bad thing.
Who would want to rush around when they can live and work in peace?
So after being persuaded by his sons, Wang Yi came back before leaving the gate.
However, there is definitely no peace outside Qingdong City as inside Jing Kingdom, and their status as remnants of Yunze Kingdom may be exposed at any time. If they are suppressed by Jing Kingdom again, they will eventually become refugees or bandits.
What can ordinary people who have no home and no country do?
If King Dingyuan could really stabilize this area, they, as the first batch of King Dingyuan's subjects, would have a place of origin again, which would be better than wandering around.
This is indeed the best solution.
Zheng Yeheng stood outside the door looking at Wang Yi's figure. Along the way, he had thought of countless ways to embarrass her, countless ways to make things difficult for her, to make her regret turning away just now, to make her regret apologizing to him, and so on.
Do you regret it now? Do you understand how generous the path I have given you is?
Humph, following me is the best way out for you small farmers.
It is absolutely the right choice for me to protect you.
But before he could even speak, the first sentence he said turned into an impatient question:
"Why, have you thought it through? Have you changed your mind?"
As soon as he said this, Zheng Yeheng was stunned for a moment, then turned his face away awkwardly and tilted his head slightly, pretending that it was not him who said it.
But I thought to myself that it was bad and I felt a little anxious, which was a bit inconsistent with my character.
But woman, you must know your place and not make me happy for nothing.
"Your Highness, I have indeed changed my mind. When my fellow villagers are in trouble, I cannot sit idly by. Please show me the way and send someone to accompany me. I will enclose the land and build a house soon, and plant some crops. Maybe we can still have time for the autumn harvest."
Wang Yi said this somewhat embarrassedly, changing his mind over and over again, which really made him embarrassed.
Zheng Yeheng snorted coldly and wanted to blurt out that he should wait for a few days. He had just recovered and needed to recuperate in the city. But when he said it, it turned into:
"Then today, I will set out with you to set up the military camp and prepare to siege the city!"
"Ah? Today?"
"What's wrong? You think it's too slow?"
"No, no, Your Majesty is wise."
What else could Wang Yi say? He could only shout good words for the prince.
However, if the prince goes there himself, he will have to move the military camp along with him.
You don't want to live in this beautiful Qingdong City, but run out to suffer in the wild mountains and savage lands. Is there something wrong with your brain?
Could it be that the detoxification pill cured the poison in his heart and lungs, but could not remove the damage already done to his brain?
Never mind, let him be.
After waiting at the door for a long time, Zheng Yeheng appeared again with a cold face.
He sent Hong Jiu with a map and hired a car with a large axle load to accompany him.
"Hmph, I'm surrounded by a bunch of pedantic people. I can't leave immediately, so I'm sending a hundred of my personal soldiers to accompany you for protection. Go to the place listed by my retainers, which has been named New Camp Village. I'll proceed after the military camp is built. The location of the new city still needs to be discussed and cannot be determined yet."
