247, I am a good emperor (8)(1/2)

The attacks of the nobles at this stall can be said to have angered most of the officials in the court. Even those officials who were not so high in their office and did not have any Huns in their families were a little scared.

If something happens to the descendants, what's the use of sitting in a higher position?

Officials who were a little afraid of the Huns before did not mention any peace now. They all came to Kyoto with swords. Today, the men and men practiced martial arts and escaped. What if those people broke into their houses another day.

Even if Long Yan is furious and starts fighting the Huns, his life will be gone, and nothing will be gone.

The wind direction in the North Korea has never reached the same consistency as in the past few days, and everything is going on in full swing.

The people in Beijing were unaware of what happened on that night, but were a little surprised why the new neighbors or tenants who had moved in some time ago disappeared.

February officially arrives, and the real cold winter is coming. In such weather, people are not even afraid to go out to solve physiological problems. If they are frozen, they will not even be laughed at by the doctor.

Even the young men who had to go to the martial arts field in the past were so cold that they dared not go out. Although their martial arts practiced better than before, they were still grown up with a delicate dress and delicate body. How could this body with tender skin and tender flesh with such cold wind?

Fortunately, they all hired many high-quality guards at home, and they were busy learning skills, and they didn't like to go out to meet.

Of course, no one noticed that the two men in the mansion who were locked up in the mansion to practice martial arts under the order of Your Majesty never appeared again silently.

Without these playful little men in Beijing, they are quieter everywhere. This winter is too cold, and the hawkers don’t like to go out. Walking on the street, it seems that they can be frozen into ice even if they breathe.

Fortunately, although this year is colder, the lives of the people are better than they had in previous years. The officials' mansions have eliminated kapok quilts, and the kapok quilts are all spread in the Imperial Courtyard. People who have nowhere to hide from the snow just need to go to the Imperial Courtyard. On heavy snow days, they just need to hide in their houses and wait quietly for the winter to pass. Although it is still cold, at least it is better than wandering outside.

I heard that such an imperial court has been built in various places, so as to provide accommodation for those wandering people who had nowhere to go and could only freeze to death outside. The imperial court was extremely prosperous, so it was named the imperial court.

In the distance, Rongcheng, which is also snowing heavily, the people born as Liu people cannot even get a kapok quilt.

Everyone's faces had the same expression, numbness and stiffness, and were driven to squeeze into the airy wooden house. Even if they were squeezed together, the cold wind that kept blowing in still made them unable to feel the warmth.

Their hands, feet and even faces were frostbite, and the clothes they wore were mixed with odor, and they were thin and did not keep warm at all. They had lived under the hands of the Huns for more than ten years, and no winter was as cold as this year.

Some older old men looked at the heavy snow falling outside the gap with their eyes, and they felt a little despair in their hearts.

This winter, they are afraid they can't stand it anymore.

Originally, the Huns were still counting on them to work, but since some time ago, the Huns began to frequently capture the people from outside for some reason, these old people knew that their death date had come.

I was imprisoned here, unable to access information from outside, and worked hard day after day. The only thing that could infer the situation outside was the attitude of the Huns towards them.

And now, they could clearly feel the eyes of the Huns who looked over and saw the dead.

They are not afraid of death. In these ten years, there is no better day than death. What is terrible is that even if they die, they cannot return to their roots after death.

The land under their feet is no longer Liu Kingdom. Even if they die, they don’t want to die here.

But now, it seems that they can't fulfill their wish.

The people who were crowded together did not keep warm. They had been frozen to the point of being frozen for a long time, and even if they came over, their whole bodies would soon become cold. It would be better to just keep them frozen like this. No one said anything, as if one more word could take away the anger of their whole bodies.

In the corner was a ragged boy. His hair was messy, his face was covered in black, and he was curled up and trembling. Aside him, an old woman hugged him anxiously in her arms, trying to make him no longer so cold.

He has been sick for a long time, and if he continues like this, he may not even be able to survive this night.

The wooden house was obviously full of people, but there was no sound. In the huge house, there was only death silence.

Suddenly, the Huns cursed voices came from outside, and these people were a little more panic in their eyes. They had been enslaved and whipped by these Huns for a long time, which made them tremble and shrank back when they heard the Huns' words.

After staying for so long, they all understood some of the Huns' words and knew that the two Huns outside were scolding the people they brought to walk too slowly.

The eyes of the people of Liu, which had already become darker, seemed to be a new person of Liu, who was arrested.

As the scolding sounded, the chains outside were opened and the light shone in. A young man wearing patched clothes and straw sandals under his feet was pushed and thrown in. He seemed to be trembling with fear and fell to the ground and didn't even dare to raise his head.

The two Hun soldiers seemed to be amused by his appearance, laughed and mocked for a few words, and then went out to lock the door from outside.

The cold wind that had just flowed in as the door opened and blew, and the boy from Liu State shivered, but the others who had been used to it were all numb and didn't move.

Now that we are short of food and clothing, it seems that as long as we don’t move, we can prolong our lives.

The young man raised his head and looked quietly at the scenes of Liu Guoren in front of him, who was covered by messy hair. When he saw it clearly, he lowered his head and moved his footsteps to the corner, looking at the vast snow outside through the gap between the wood.

***

"The soldier first enters the enemy's abdomen."

In the house where the brazier was burning, two figures, one tall and one short, were kneeling face to face at the table. Wei Mingyan picked up a chess piece with small characters and followed the narrow road to the middle of the black chess piece opposite.

"But the soldier is so small that any soldier from the enemy country can find him."

Zhao Shujiu is still wearing a white winter coat today, with black hair. Apart from her original jewelry, she has two small white balls left, which swings left and right as her head shakes, making her look more agile.

"Although the small soldiers are small, the enemy country is arrogant and has no precautions at all, let alone here..."

The emperor stretched out his white fingers and gently tapped the soldier with the words "big" not far away, "When the inside and the outside, as long as the army is put in, will the rest be easy?"

Although Zhao Shujiu has been smart since childhood, she was born as a woman and has never been exposed to military tactics. After hearing this, she only felt that the man sitting opposite her was powerful and could come up with such a way to crack it.

When Zhao Shuqing came back from outside, he saw his good sister moving the soldier to the black chess he was obsessed with, and he was very honest and said that this was called "internal and external cooperation".

Zhao Shuqing held the chess piece and was silent for a moment, "Jiuer, this is not the case in the rules."

"Why do Brother Shuqing have to be obsessed with the rules? Isn't this rule also set by you and me? If you want to win, you still need to make progress."

Looking at the emperor who was smiling and beating against him, Zhao Shuqing stared at him quietly for a few seconds. When his smile gradually fell awkwardly, he threw the black soldier in his hand directly in front of Wang Qi surrounded by white chess pieces.

"Then I will make adjustments once and let the soldiers assassinate the king of the enemy country."

Seeing the white king chess on his side being swallowed by the black chess, Wei Mingyan didn't make a fuss, but just smiled even more happily, "You are just a fool. There are so many masters around the king, so how can it be so easy."

Zhao Shuqing asked calmly, "What ability does the soldier have to cooperate with the inside and outside?"

"Hey, why don't Brother Shuqing think more? What if this soldier is very skilled in martial arts?"

Oh.

Anyway, no matter what, the shameless emperor on the other side can find a reason.

Zhao Shuqing withdrew his hand and decided to go and read the book by himself.

"You're not playing now? Come on, Jiuer, let's play."

Seeing that the young girl began to collect the chess pieces, Zhao Shuqing sat back silently.

At worst, he will just read books here, and he will never give them the chance to be alone anyway.

Rongcheng

Lang Su had been sitting silently in this corner for a long time. He kept scanning the snow outside, watching the Huns patrolling, with their bodies seemingly curled up with their backs to many people behind him, but their hands were constantly moving on the wood.

Fortunately, although the wooden house was big enough, it was still disrepair in the past. Lang Su was strong in his hands. After a few round trips, he cut the wood in half with a knife.

Everyone around him closed their eyes numbly, and no one noticed Lang Su's actions at all.

As soon as it was night, he could escape from here smoothly and open the city gate to let the soldiers hidden outside enter.

He was working hard, and suddenly he felt something was wrong. He stopped and turned to look, but saw a young man with dirty face staring at him silently. He was thin but his eyes were shiny.

Lang Su was shocked. According to the information, most young men as big as Rongcheng were driven as slaves when they were young. Compared with those Liu people who were imprisoned here as adults, these children who lived here since childhood did not have so much missing their hometown. When he saw his actions, if they shouted out, all their efforts would be wasted.

He was afraid that the boy would shout out, so he quickly took it out of his arms. The seemingly ragged clothes actually made him take out a piece of candy.

After carefully handing the candy piece into the boy's palm, Lang Su made a gesture of silence. He didn't know if he could understand it. He always held the candy piece and kept looking at Lang Su's hand, but he never made any noise.

It was not until the sky got dark that Lang Su had accomplished everything. His hands, which had never suffered before, were frozen lightly. He quickly put them in his arms carefully and waited silently for the arrival of night.

Unexpectedly, before night was late, the sound of the chains being opened came from outside. The two Huns who came in looked at the Liu people who were dead like this place. After laughing for a few words, they all looked at Lang Su and walked towards him with clear goals.

Lang Su had learned the language of the Huns in his mansion, and only listened to their meaning, as if he wanted to catch a Liu people out for fun.

It was said that it was fun, but it was actually whipping the people of Liu. Seeing them screaming and begging for mercy.

As a newcomer from Liu Guo, Lang Su naturally became the target of this whip.

If you are taken out, the risk of the knives hidden on your body will be discovered, and even if you go out to vent and report information at night, you will be delayed.

But if he turned against him now, how could he resist the Huns who are still awake now?

He felt a trembling heart, his fists clenched tightly behind him, and his head hung tightly, so that his eyes that were hiding coldness would not be exposed.

The two Huns were joking and approaching this side, and from time to time, they kicked and stood on the ground with disgust and had already frozen others.

Just as they were about to get here, the dirty boy on the side suddenly fell to the ground, twitching all over his body and rolling on the ground.

The old woman beside him was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the boy down, while kowtowing to the two Huns for forgiveness.

"Sir, my son is sick. Don't bother with him, please don't bother with him..."

The two Huns looked at the young man on the ground who was trembling while rolling. When they went to see Lang Su again, they saw that he was half dead, and they suddenly lost interest. They cursed a few words and walked out with disgust.

The door was locked from outside again. It was still twitching violently just now, as if the young man was about to pass away in the next second, quietly got up from the ground, curled up in the corner again, and never looked at Lang Su who was staring at him in a daze.

The old woman looked at Lang Su for a few times, but didn't say anything. She just held the boy in her arms in a silence, patting his back gently comforting her as if he was afraid of being frightened.

That night, Lang Su quietly slipped out of the hole he dug out. When he left, he suddenly wanted to take a look behind him, but he saw a pair of dark eyes looking at him quietly under the dim moonlight.

Thinking that he might have been forced to become a slave to the Huns when he was in his infancy, Lang Su hesitated for a second, turned around and said softly, "You stay quietly, I'll pick you up soon."

The boy who had not spoken nodded and silently watched Lang Su leave lightly and quickly.

That night, a fire broke out in Rongcheng.

The soldiers with a firm look rushed in with a cotton dress, armor covered with long swords on their faces.

The Huns had long been used to being robbed and extorted by them and still did not dare to resist. Even if the Liu State issued a document, they did not take it seriously.
