Chapter 778 The whole family is a rebel (62)

Some things, once started, will never stop.

After the heavy snow, in the slightly bleak Beidi Palace, Jin Yan stood in the corridor wrapped in a thick cloak. At the end of her sight was the most magnificent and majestic palace in the whole world.

Before she knew it, the New Year had passed, but she didn't feel like it was the New Year at all.

Chang'an is still Chang'an.

The emperor still makes a stupid move every now and then.

The princes and nobles should kill people when they should, set fires when they should, and the powerful and wealthy should become more powerful as they should.

People would occasionally freeze to death on the streets. At daybreak, the stiff corpses would disappear from the broad and flat main street. However, the corpses on the mass grave outside the city would pile up higher and higher, covered with snow. When the sun shone on them, they looked like a holy mountain.

But a corpse is just a corpse.

When the sun shines and the snow melts, the white bones are exposed, allowing passers-by to see another side of Chang'an City.

A cold wind blew and Jin Yan shivered. Just as she was about to reach out to grab the collar of her cloak, someone had already put the cloak on her.

"You came."

Jin Yan didn't look back and still looked in the direction of the palace.

Qin Shu responded, and following Jin Yan's gaze, he also looked over there, but quickly retracted his gaze and grabbed Jin Yan's hand.

He said, "It's getting a lot colder today, let's go back to the house."

……

"what happened?"

Beside the brazier, Jin Yan rubbed his hands, his eyes falling on the wound on Qin Shu's left hand.

Qin Shu subconsciously wanted to hide it, but halfway through, he put his left hand in front of Jin Yan and said nonchalantly: "I accidentally scratched it while practicing shooting. I've already applied medicine."

Jin Yan glanced at him and said, "With such a long spear, you didn't hurt the enemy, but hurt yourself instead?"

Facing Qin Shu's subtle look, she added, "Such a low-level mistake would not have been made when An was three years old."

Qin Shu: "Uh——"

His original intention was to make Jin Yan feel sorry for his injury, but now he has backfired.

How could Xiao Jinan deserve such respect from Xiao Yan'er?
After forcibly suppressing the jealousy in his heart, Qin Shu was about to explain, but Jin Yan grabbed his hand, and she discovered that there were bruises on his palm.

"You...your father's test for you has been brought forward?" Jin Yan asked.

With Qin Shu's usual abilities, he can handle most guns very well and rarely causes such damage to his opponents, unless he temporarily changes to an unsuitable weapon.

Qin Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, "I let you guess it again. The prince said that I was making rapid progress, so he brought the test forward."

After saying that, he looked at Jin Yan expectantly, as if he really wanted Jin Yan to ask him the result.

Jin Yan smiled and deliberately didn't ask the result, "Where's Grandfather?"

Qin Shu felt slightly disappointed and answered honestly, "I will come to find you after it is over. I don't know where the prince is now, but when we said goodbye, he went in the direction of the study."

Jin Yan asked again: "What about you, is Grandfather satisfied with you?"

Just as he finished speaking, Qin Shu said impatiently: "Of course I am satisfied! The prince said that I am one of the most talented students he has ever taught."

The student that the King of the North is most proud of is undoubtedly his son Xiao Ji.

The King of Beidi told him personally that in today's world, no one could compare to Xiao Ji in terms of military talent and ability.

In recent years, the prosperity and stability of the North also shows that Xiao Ji's ability to govern the country is not inferior to anyone. He can be a general or a prime minister.

even……

Qin Shu agrees with the evaluation of the King of the North in his heart. For Qin Shu at his current age.

After all, General Xiao Ji was the second person he admired most in the world.

As for the first one, it is naturally his biological father, Qin Yu, the greatest general of Jin State and also the last general of Jin State.

Qin Shu suddenly stood up and looked at Jin Yan firmly, "My Lady, do you believe it?"

Jin Yan seemed to guess what he was going to say.

She asked, “Believe in what?”

Qin Shu: "I will definitely become a person like my father and the general!"

……

Half a month later.

When Jin Yan was making tea with the King of Beidi, Zhong Xing and Xiao Buyi walked into the house rubbing their hands. The warm air in the house made even Zhong Xing sneeze a few times.

He took off his cloak and hung it on a rack nearby. He also took off the thick outer clothes for Xiao Quji, whose hands and feet were frozen. Then he said, "I don't know what's wrong with this weather this year. It's already spring, but the weather is colder than winter."

It’s so cold that it seems like this winter will never get through.

After saying that, he saw Jin Yan had already sat down next to Xiao Quji, and stuffed her small hand warmer into Xiao Quji's stiff hands, and he immediately became jealous.

"Xiao Yan'er, you are so biased. Only your second brother is cold, but am I not cold too?"

After saying this, he deliberately raised his red, frozen hands, looking pitiful.

Compared with his hands that were obviously frostbitten, Xiao Quji's hands, although cold, had no obvious injuries, and were obviously well protected.

Jin Yan was startled, and immediately moved to Zhong Xing's side, picked up his red and swollen hand, looked at it, frowned and said: "Cousin, your hands have never been so cold in the whole winter, what on earth did you do?"

There were many patients at home, and Jin Yan carried medicine with her, so she immediately found the medicine for frostbite. While applying the medicine, she looked at Zhong Xing with a serious look.

Looking at Jin Yan's distressed and angry eyes, Zhong Xing felt a little regretful about his "competing for favor" behavior.

After finally applying the medicine, Jin Yan left angrily. The King of Beidi spoke again, "Tell me, are you responsible for the unrest in Yu County these days?"

Early in the morning, news came from outside that a riot broke out in Yu County. The cause was that a group of people doing corvee labor had their hands and feet frozen to death due to heavy snow, and the construction period was delayed. They thought that since they would all die in the end, they might as well work hard. Even if they died, they would die with a good meal!
In this way, they captured the county government, killed the county magistrate, robbed the granary, distributed the food to the poor people, and then disappeared.

Although Yu County is near Chang'an, it is not Chang'an after all. It takes time for news to be transmitted. By the time Chang'an sent troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion, those daring common people had already disappeared.

The huge county government office was captured by only a few hundred corvée laborers, and the county magistrate was beheaded and had no place to be buried. This is enough to show how powerful the common people are.

But even so, the nobles in Chang'an still did not take these lowly common people seriously.

Even at this morning's court, the emperor ordered his ministers to discuss not the spring ploughing, the disaster, or the unrest in Yu County, but the progress of the construction of his palace and the whereabouts of immortals overseas.

Before Xiao Quji and Zhong Xing returned home, Qin Shu came by on the pretext of delivering some snacks, and said that the emperor had summoned several alchemists who had been favored recently into the palace, and that he was going to have conversations with them all night long.

In response to this, King Beidi and Qin Shu were speechless for a long time.

And Jin Yan said something that made their scalps tingle.

"Poor at midnight, I don't ask people to ask ghosts and gods."

Too busy recently
