Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 13 Who is the prince?
She didn't dare to say the following words, and after thinking for a long time, she said, "Which prince is it? Or Lord Hou?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi leaned against the window with a dignified expression, without saying a word.

Tusheer whispered again: "Miss, what should we do?"

Shang Ruyi looked at the empty street outside, then put down a corner of the curtain, and said calmly: "What else can we do, everyone is gone, let's hurry up, don't miss the hour."

Tusher was a little uneasy, so she ordered to go down immediately, and soon, the convoy set off again.

On the next journey, they did not encounter any obstacles. After leaving Luoyang City smoothly, they followed the official road smoothly. They rested at the post station arranged by Shen Shiyan at night, and started on the road again the next day.

However, the weather was extremely hot that day, and Shang Ruyi almost suffered from heatstroke in the steamer-like carriage, so she simply asked someone to lead two horses, and she and Tusheer rode forward.

In order to avoid suspicion, Tusher specially brought a veiled hat for her to put on.

Riding on horseback, gusts of cool wind passed over the cheeks through the veil hanging from the brim of the hat, making people feel extremely comfortable. Shang Ruyi rode the horse to a trot happily, and Gao Feng and Tusheer followed closely behind her. behind.

However, although galloping on horseback was fun, looking at the surrounding scenery made her feel heavy.

After leaving Luoyang City, the scenery on both sides of the avenue became more and more desolate, and the surrounding area was completely deserted. The dense forests were scorched by the hot sun, and there was a dry smell in the air.

Tusheer said softly: "I remember passing by here when my master and I came to Luoyang to take office a few years ago. There are several villages nearby, why are they all bare now?"

Shang Ruyi said, "It's long gone."

"why?"

"Why do you say?"

Shang Ruyi smiled lightly, with a bit of coldness in his smile, and said: "After 40 years of taxation by the imperial court, how can the common people survive? If they don't leave the fields and run away, their bones will probably be squeezed dry." gone."

"..."

Hearing this, Tusher frowned.

Shang Ruyi looked at the desolation around her, and her heart was also desolate.

Although my uncle worked in the imperial court, he would close the door and yell at each other every time he drank, but the swearing didn't work.

Today, the emperor is not only cruel and bloodthirsty, but also militaristic, so rejoicing, the three conquests of Gouli have returned without success, and the treasury has been empty. In addition, it caused rebel armies all over the world to rise up everywhere, and the reaction was overwhelming.

If the desolation in front of me looks like the tragedy after a raging fire, then I don't know when the fire will burn to the Eastern Capital, before the eyes of the emperor.

Tushe'er said in a low voice, "I don't even know what is the point of Sheng Guogong's campaign to suppress the rebellion for such an imperial court."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately scolded: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"..."

"What the imperial court does is a matter for the imperial court, but Shi Bo and Yu Wenye fought against the rebellion and risked their lives for the sake of the people."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden rustling sound from the bushes in front of her.

Gao Feng originally followed them quietly not far behind, but at this moment he raised his head very vigilantly and looked forward.

Tuscher also frowned: "Is there anything there?"

Shang Ruyi raised the white gauze in front of the veiled hat, carefully looked at the forest in front of her, and faintly noticed the shadows moving in the forest, as if someone was hiding in it.

At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly came from behind the bushes in the distance, and it went straight into the sky!
