Chapter 985: A generation of genius, starving to death
"My sister is finally back, and I can finally take a break. I am not afraid of everyone laughing at me. In the past, when I was free, I always felt that I had nothing to do. If you do it, something will fall into your mind There is no time, but when things are really busy, I want to slap myself in the face, and the real days are pruning flowers and plants in the greenhouse."
Xiong Liqing sat at the front seat while using a tea lid. He said while frothing tea.
The people sitting below also laughed together.
The prince is out on an expedition. Although there is support from Xu Wenzu in the west, the real place for military supplies and civilians is in eastern Shanxi. They are the busiest here.
In the past six months, for this war between Yan and Chu, everyone's efforts have been as great as those of the soldiers fighting at the front.
At this time, He Chunlai stood up and said:
"I'm afraid the princess will have to hold on for a while. The princess is just returning to do some handovers. Didn't she already leave for the commander's tent this morning? Have you gone? The big battle is over, but there are still matters such as garrisoning at the front. When will the main force really withdraw? It’s hard to say.
In addition, rewards are also a headache.”
Just like the children in the palace’s back house know how to call Si Niang “Auntie”. The officials in the inner circle of the palace also called Siniang and Xiong Liqing separately, calling Siniang "the eldest princess".
After all, Xiong Liqing was only in charge for a while, but the entire financial system of Shandong was established by Siniang herself.
At this point, Xiong Liqing will not be jealous. From the time she started... no, from the time she started, she has no intention of competing with Siniang for favor.
“Busy, busy.” Xiong Liqing put the tea cup back on the desk, “In the end, it’s all the adults who are really busy, and I am just an auspicious ornament.”
"The princess must not say that, I am afraid."
"I am afraid."
"Okay, okay, just kidding, just kidding, today's review has been reviewed, my lords, send it out, supervise the implementation quickly, and prepare quickly what should be prepared;
Tell My men, I know everyone is tired, but think about it, after the battle is over, the prince will not be far away when he comes back. Now, it’s time to reward for merit. We can’t make any mistakes at this time, otherwise we will be in trouble.”
“I’ll take my orders.”
“I will. Waiting for orders."
Xiong Liqing stood up, left the custody room, and went straight back to her courtyard.
As soon as he came in, he saw his precious daughter walking out carrying a bulging luggage.
Big girl: "Hmm..."
Xiong Liqing's face immediately sank;
Then,
his eyes swept over the maids standing around;
To put it bluntly, Xiong Liqing would just whisper in front of someone named Zheng and recognize her as a younger sister in front of Siniang, but she was born in the direct line of the Chu royal family.
Without any means or courage, how could it be possible to temporarily replace Siniang and how could he suppress the bureaucrats under the palace?
No matter how loyal they are, they are loyal to the prince and the princess. If an ordinary woman is given the title of princess, people will really not look at you seriously.
The princess’s gaze condensed,
This aura can really be felt;
All the maids around were kneeling on the ground;
Xiong Liqing once said that if the little princess runs away from home again, all the maids who serve her will be executed together with her family members.
My daughter is a sweetheart,
She can tell if you are scaring her;
So she is very good, she knows that she A mother who can walk the talk.
However, she does not feel that her mother is "cruel";
After witnessing the mother-son interactions between her aunt and her brother many times since she was a child,
she still feels that her mother has become She is very gentle. Although the aunt has always liked her, the eldest girl is still a little afraid of the aunt.
It’s okay to be afraid of aunties. After all, aunties are aunties. Well, after all, my mother is also afraid of aunties.
“Mom, I’m not running away from home, I’m going to deliver food to my brother. He lives with his grandfather now, and I’m worried that he won’t be used to it.
Grandpa eats candles and paper money.
My brother may have diarrhea if he eats these. "
"Really? "
"Really, I asked the people below and no one was ordered to send food and drink to Adi. "
Hearing this explanation, Xiong Liqing nodded:
"Then you go."
The day Siniang came back, she locked the prince in a small dark room;
On the issue of how to educate the prince, it was not convenient for Xiong Liqing to talk.
But Xiong Liqing has never objected to her daughter being close to her brothers. Of course, this mother-in-law does not have to worry about it at all. The men in the family dote on her;
Needless to say, her father As the eldest son, Tiantian has always loved and cared for this sister;
Even the crown prince, who is somewhat withdrawn in temperament, is much more enthusiastic about Da Niu than others;
The crown prince has always been lukewarm towards his biological father, but he will not refuse to accompany Da Niu. Just messing around.
The big girl happily carried her small bag to the rockery in the back house, put down all the food, walked to the big iron gate, patted it, and shouted:
"Brother , Adi!”
There was no response.
The big girl was a little worried,
stepped back a few steps,
then,
made a sword seal with both hands:
“Come out!”
"Buzz!"
Long Yuan behind him unsheathed and hovered above the big girl's head.
"Stab!"
Long Yuan turned into a stream of light and hit the big iron door. After a harsh impact, Long Yuan flew back and landed on the ground.
“Hiss...it hurts so much!”
The girl felt a sharp pain in the index finger and ring finger of her right hand, and she quickly put it to her mouth to breathe.
This large iron gate is solid and has buckles on all sides. Once it falls, it can be completely closed from the inside.
The mechanism for opening this big iron gate is on the other side of the rockery. You can pull out the iron chain and apply a huge force while pulling out the iron chain to open the iron gate again. But the big girl doesn't Know this.
She tried to use Long Yuan to split the iron gate, but it was in vain unless she could achieve the level of her master.
After soothing the pain in her fingers, Da Niu came to the iron gate again and found that her previous sword had dug a hole the size of a fingernail in the iron gate. It was not without effect, but , which is equivalent to having no effect.
The big girl could only lie down and try to shout through the small gap below:
"Adi, Adi!"
But there was still no response.
The big girl got up, clapped her hands and her trouser legs, and shouted to the other side:
"Big snake, big snake!"
After two shouts, the green python swam over. It had been living in the palace for several years. It rarely came out on weekdays, but the servants in the palace had become accustomed to its occasional movements.
The green python raised its head and looked at Da Niu;
It is Xiong Liqing’s monster, so naturally it will be closer to Da Niu.
The big girl pointed at the iron door and said:
"Big snake, come and break it open."
"..." Green Python.
"Be obedient, Big Snake, you can do it."
"Be obedient!"
The big girl was angry.
There was a hint of sadness in the green python's snake eyes, and then, its body quickly hit the iron door.
"Boom!"
The green python raised its head, swayed, and fell down.
……
“There is movement!”
“Bah!”
Zheng Lin spit out the piece of wax he had chewed in his mouth, quickly turned over and came to the iron door.
I have to say that the impact of the green python is still more effective than the big girl's sword. Although it still has no effect on the actual existence of the iron gate, it at least makes it feel inside.
“Who is outside, who is outside!”
Zheng Lin shouted.
……
Looking at the green python that was almost unconscious outside, the big girl stopped forcing it and could only sit back in front of the iron gate.
Cross one’s legs,
Luck,
The sword intention begins to gather,
Close your eyes,
Sword Jue moves forward;
On the other side of the thick iron door, Zheng Lin found that a condensed sword energy appeared in his sight.
"Sister, sister!"
Zheng Lin was so excited that he immediately sat down cross-legged and made the same seal.
After a while, the big girl sitting outside saw a sword energy appearing in front of her.
After Da Niu knew that this method was effective, she immediately controlled her sword energy and wrote on the opposite side:
"Brother..."
Zheng Lin also controlled his sword energy and wrote on the ground outside. :
"Hungry..."
Succinct and to the point.
The big girl showed a look of joy, and immediately stopped sealing, and the sword energy on the opposite side dispersed;
She opened her small bag full of snacks, and there were a lot of delicious food in it, but she was so excited that she I quickly realized another problem;
This iron gate can even isolate the sound... How can I give the food I brought to my brother?
Big girl immediately re-printed,
Write three words on the opposite side:
"Can't send it in..."
Zheng Lin responded simply:
"Call someone..."
"Who to call..."
“My mother......”
There is no overnight feud between mother and son. Although it was his own mother who imprisoned him and beat him up before being imprisoned, Zheng Lin really had no grudges against his fourth mother.
"Auntie is gone..."
Seeing this line of words,
Zheng Lin's eyes widened. He was a little, of course, shocked;
Shocked that his mother just locked up her son and went back to the front line to find his father. She didn’t even get to see her son before leaving;
Of course... this is indeed something that my own mother can do.
Which one is more important in my mother’s heart, me or my father, I can think clearly with my toes, it must be my father.
Zheng Lin also understood that it was precisely because he had a bad relationship with his father that his own mother also disliked him.
The ethical relationship in other people's families is the opposite in our own family;
At this time, beads of sweat were already appearing on the big girl's forehead, and she controlled the sword energy to write in the air. It’s a very tiring thing;
It's a pity that the sword master is not at home. If he saw this scene here, he would probably find it very gratifying for the two apprentices to practice sword energy control like this.
"Brother, I'm going to call someone..."
Zheng Lin saw this line,
responded:
"Okay... ”
As if to add an urgent tone, he added the word 'hungry' after 'good'.
The big girl stood up, staggered and lost some strength, but she still ran away quickly.
......
Zheng Lin leaned against the big iron door, picked up the candle again, took a bite, chewed it twice, and then spit it out.
Heaven sees pity,
If he were to be exiled to the wilderness, or even to a dangerous place like Daze where monsters roamed everywhere, he thought he would be able to live a very good and carefree life, but in this place, he had no idea at all.
At this moment,
a voice suddenly sounded from Zheng Lin's ear:
"Are you hungry... I have delicious food here."< br>
Shatuo Queshi, who was sitting in the coffin, turned his head and looked into the depths, and then let out a roar.
Zheng Lin showed a look of fascination on his face,
murmured:
"Really...I'm so hungry..."
"Yes... I have the sweetest food in the world...as long as you come here..."
"Will you give it to me?"
"Yes...I can give you everything..."
"You are so kind..."
"Of course...I..."
"What an idiot."
The fascination on Zheng Lin's face immediately disappeared, revealing indifference and disdain,
Then he stood up and
shouted to the inside:
"Master, I am so hungry that I am chewing candles. I have no time to play the game of seduction with you here. Why? Shut up, idiot!”
“Boom!”
Below, there was a vibration. The man in black armor deep in the iron cage suddenly clenched the iron chain with his arms. He was angry.
"You can't even lie to people. You deserve to be locked up here by my useless father. Why, you want to seduce me and let you out, dreaming!"
Zheng Lin sat down again. He stood down, picked up the candle, and took another bite as fiercely as he could.
"Ho ho..."
The Sha Tuo Que Stone lay back in the coffin.
...
"My sister locked him up. It's really hard for me to let him go. You know, my sister educates children, but we don't have the time to talk too much. Plus, as His Royal Highness, I , not an ordinary child."
"But... ..."
"Don't worry, the big girl just went to give him food. It's okay for her to give Kai Xiaozao. The relationship between brother and sister is deep, even if the elder sister finds out, she won't say anything."
"That's good, that's good." Princess Fu patted her chest.
In the palace, there are only four people sleeping with the serious prince;
One is Si Niang, one is Xiong Liqing, another is Liu Ruqing, and one is... Princess Fu.
Prince Fu’s Mansion has a residence in Fengxin City, but Princess Fu has always lived in the Regent’s Mansion.
Among the four women, who cares most about His Royal Highness, it is naturally Princess Fu, because the fourth mother left the child in her care early.
Originally, the prince was in solitary confinement, and everyone had nothing to say, but as soon as the fourth mother left, Princess Fu came to Xiong Liqing to plead for mercy.
At this time, the big girl ran back.
Xiong Liqing saw that her daughter was fine when she went out, but her steps were a little wobbly when she came back. She immediately asked:
"What's the matter?"
"Mother, aunt, ah My brother is going to starve to death inside!”
……
"Can't open it?"
"Yes, to the princess, this iron gate has restrictions and is integrated with the surrounding environment. The subordinates and others cannot open it."
"How is it possible! "
Xiong Liqing looked at the big iron gate in front of her with a solemn face. Surrounded by a group of palace guards standing with torches.
“The princess doesn’t know something. Only the gentlemen of the palace know how to lift the restrictions here. Although I have been working in the palace for some years, I will not touch this place on weekdays. This is the palace. Forbidden land.
But at the moment, the gentlemen are not in the palace, so..."
The leader of the guard is the former Jinyi personal guard who retired, and he is also an old man.
But it is him, for this dungeon, There is no way.
After all, since the demon kings dare to imprison Heijia at home, they will naturally arrange a lot of heavy defenses in advance.
Xiong Liqing took a deep breath,
< br>
Said:
"Then bring the city patrol officers over. If there are not enough, send troops from the city defense and dig them out for me!"
"Here!"
< br>It is true that the big iron gate cannot be opened, but by force digging from all sides, the situation can still be opened, as long as there are enough manpower.
From Xiong Liqing's point of view, she could not comment on how Si Niang would educate her children, but she was even less likely to watch His Royal Highness starve to death in the palace!
What is this?
The dignified son of the regent family of Dayan. In Dayan, he is the most noble existence of the second generation, almost on an equal footing with the prince of Yan Kingdom. He has a talent for cultivation that is visible to the naked eye, a generation of eagles,< br>
Died like this due to starvation?
"Sister, sister, you don't have to ignore your son like this, right?"
Xiong Liqing was a little scared. If the big girl hadn't discovered it early, when the prince and sister came back, they would see Yes, I'm afraid it's a mummy that died of starvation, right?
Da Niu, who had been resting for a while, hurriedly sat in front of the big iron gate, sealed it to get the sword energy:
"Brother, don't panic... let's dig it up..."
Da Niu Zheng Lin, who was behind the iron gate, saw this line of writing and thought it was normal at first. Then he finally realized what the people outside were planning to do.
He immediately responded;
“No way. Dig..."
The big girl blinked and looked at this line of words carefully.
Soon, the second line of words appeared:
“You must not dig...”
Open the iron door and let yourself out, that’s no problem;
< br>But if he really digs himself open, the black-armored man suppressing him below will break through the seal.
"Mom, my brother said, you can't dig." Da Niu immediately told her mother.
“What?” Xiong Liqing frowned.
During the holidays, she and Siniang would go to burn incense on the Shatuo Que Stone, so she vaguely knew that there was actually a door further down.
She rarely asked these things before, but she could probably guess that besides Shatuo Queshi, there should be another existence inside, and Shatuo Queshi was more like... a guard. .
I was so angry that I ignored this point, but now after this reminder, it immediately made an impression in my mind.
Zheng Lin wrote again:
“Grandpa has tributes to eat here...I won’t starve to death…”
“Mom, my brother said that grandpa has tributes to eat.”
Xiong Liqing raised her hand and ordered:
"In addition to the group of people sent to chase the princess, send another group of people to the front line to report to the prince, and hurry up!
Here,
digging is not allowed for the time being. ”
“Here! "
Xiong Liqing looked at her daughter and asked:
"Pitch a small tent here, sleep here, and talk to your brother every half a day. ”
"I know, mother."
......
Behind the big iron door,
Zheng Lin wiped his mouth,
covering it with one hand One hand on the belly is holding the coffin lid,
Said:
“Grandpa, I’m so hungry.”
The coffin didn’t respond.
"You are not in a hurry at all. You must have a way to prevent me from starving to death, right?"
A mass of evil energy rich in its essence slowly emerged from the coffin, floating in the In front of Zheng Lin.
Seeing this mass of evil spirit,
Zheng Lin immediately understood the meaning,
said with a bitter face:
"Grandpa, I am not Brother Magic Pill, I have to eat. , This thing can’t bear the hunger.”
The coffin didn’t respond, and the evil aura dissipated a little.
Zheng Lin gritted his teeth, opened his mouth, and sucked the evil spirit into his mouth.
The next moment,
his body turned purple,
he was lying on the ground in pain, convulsing crazily, like a bird irritated by salt water. of leech.
But he was strong-willed and kept gritting his teeth. He didn't cry out in pain, but his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
After a while,
the pain was suppressed.
Zheng Lin was lying face up on the ground, with his limbs spread out. The pain was even more outrageous than his mother's prick with a needle. .
But after the pain,
is:
"Hiccup..." (End of this chapter)
