Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 636 They All Hate Me

The weather is getting colder and colder, and since Xiao Wu passed away, except for Liu Yunxiang's heartache, he can't lift his spirits these days.Yan Mu is an agent of the government and is very busy every day, but whenever he has time, he will come to accompany her.

A north wind suddenly blew up at night, making the window lattices creak.

"Don't...don't leave me..."

Hearing this sound, Liu Yunxiang opened his eyes and looked to the side, and saw Yan Mu had dreamed of something, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was panic-stricken.

"Yan Mu." She called him softly.

"No! No!"

Yan Mu woke up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he gasped for breath. He seemed to have seen something terrible, but his body was still trembling.

"Yan Mu, you just had a nightmare."

Liu Yunxiang reached out to touch his face to comfort him, but he avoided it.

"Don't touch me!" When he avoided it, there was a flash of coldness in his expression.

Liu Yunxiang's hands froze in mid-air, paused for a while, and could only retract them helplessly.

"What did you dream about?"

Yan Mu frowned, "It's nothing."

"You keep shouting don't leave me, who, who left you?"

Yan Mu didn't answer this, got up and got out of bed, poured a cup of tea and drank it.Then he rubbed his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

"I dreamed that Yan's house was ransacked."

Liu Yunxiang sat up, "It's easy for you to mention that time."

"Well, I don't know if it was too chaotic at that time or I was too scared. I can't remember many things clearly."

"Then what did you dream about?"

Yan Mu lay back, pulled Liu Yunxiang into his arms, and said: "I dreamed that there were corpses everywhere, and blood flowed like a river. I was really ridiculous. I tried to save people from the officers and soldiers with a sword. But everyone in the house was killed. Before they died, the last thing they looked at me was disgust and hatred."

"Why, why?"

"He Shuo went crazy and yelled at those people: It was him, he killed you, you ghosts, don't let him go!"

"It really is crazy!" Liu Yunxiang said angrily.

Yan Mu let out a muffled laugh, "What's even crazier is that she pushed me under the knife of an officer and told the officer to kill me quickly."

Liu Yunxiang hugged Yan Mu, "Let's not mention her anymore, she is already dead."

"The officer and soldier didn't kill me, but I killed him. At that time, I swung the sword in my hand and killed anyone I saw. I was red-eyed until the end..."

"What happened in the end?"

"Finally Shangguan Xu came, he subdued me, and then took me around the Yan Mansion, and finally saw my father in the hall, he was lying in a pool of blood, dying."

"Did General Yan tell you anything?"

"He only took one look at me before he died. When I looked back, all I saw were corpses, and I was the only one who was still alive."

Liu Yunxiang raised his head and kissed Yan Mu's chin, "They didn't abandon you, it's just that they died, and you are lucky to survive."

"Is this considered lucky?"

"of course."

"Well, I want to avenge every one of them, but they all seem to hate me."

Liu Yunxiang pressed his forehead against Yan Mu's chest, this must be his pain, he wanted revenge like crazy but he didn't know who it was.

"Forget it, let's not mention the past." Yan Mu pretended to be brisk.

"you……"

"what?"

"Did you dream about me too?"

After asking this sentence, Liu Yunxiang felt that Yan Mu's body froze. When she tried to comfort Yan Mu just now, his eyes were clearly cold and repulsive.It's a knee-jerk reaction, and it's the most authentic.

He put a lock on his heart, once opened it to her, but after the fire, he closed it to her again.No matter what she did after that, even if she sacrificed her life for him, she might never be able to open it again.

She was helpless, and it seemed that he was also helpless.

At this time there was movement outside, Yan Mu got up and walked to the window and asked, "What happened?"

A guard was outside and replied: "Your Highness, the direction of the west city is on fire. Because of the wind, the fire rushed up."

Yan Mu asked Liu Yunxiang to sleep first, and he put on his cloak and went out.

Lingyun has a granary in the west city, so Liu Yunxiang couldn't sleep, so he got up and went out.When she came to the house, there was a strong north wind, and she was caught off guard and took a step back.

Yan Mu pulled her to his side and helped her put on the cloak and hat.

"The fire is really big, I have to go and have a look." Yan Mu said.

Liu Yunxiang quickly grabbed his hand, "Be careful."

Yan Mu nodded at her, "Don't worry, the Military Patrol Shop and Jingzhao Mansion are on site to command and dispatch, I'm just going to have a look."

Yan Mu acted as an agent of the government, and during this period, no mistakes could be made.

"Okay, go back early."

After Yan Mu left, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to go to Lingyun's granary in Xicheng to see the situation.

Zijin came back not long after he left, saying that the granary was still far from the fire point, and there was a river in the city in between, so it should not be burned.Seeing that the wind had subsided a little, Liu Yunxiang felt relieved a little.

"By the way, where did the fire start?"

"The kindness camp."

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help frowning, "Shannian Camp?"

Zijin came out of the Shannian camp. Although there were no relatives in the camp, he was still concerned about it, and he was even more angry when he said it: "The fire was burning so badly that the people inside fled everywhere. First, the gate is still open." It was closed tightly, and His Highness went down, ordered to open the door quickly, and the people inside escaped."

Liu Yunxiang sighed. Some people compared the Shannian camp to a rat droppings in Shengjing. A few years ago, the epidemic came from it. Later, the famine escaped from it. Many people robbed their homes in order to survive. The people of Shengjing Hate the kindness camp, and the government also regards it as a trouble, so when the fire broke out, the government probably didn't have much thought to save people.

Yan Mu didn't come back until dawn.

Liu Yunxiang was worried about him, so she asked Jinyan to make breakfast, and then she went out with Zijin.

There was a strong wind last night, but it has stopped this morning. The sky is exceptionally clear, but there are no people on the street, and it looks extremely depressed.When passing by a steamed stuffed bun shop, the steamed stuffed bun store was picking up the steamer on the ground cursingly.

"A group of stinky rats, I will burn them all to death last night, and they will be clean!"

Liu Yunxiang stopped in his tracks and asked the shopkeeper what was going on.

"Last night, there was a big fire in the Shannian camp, and the government opened the gate, and many people inside ran out. I just made the buns this morning, and a group of them came up to snatch them. I stopped them. My stall has been smashed." The shopkeeper became more and more angry, and finally couldn't help cursing, "That's a rat's nest, just leave it alone and burn it all to death."

Zijin was annoyed, "They are not mice, they are humans!"

"Human?" The shopkeeper pointed at his smashed mess, "Is this what people did?"

Zijin pursed her lips, "It's also because they are too hungry..."

"Hmph, I'm not the only one who hates them. Look at the streets, all the shops are closed. Isn't it because as soon as they come out, they either steal or rob, and everyone hates them so much."

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, seeing a group of people approaching from a distance, he was so frightened that he hurried back to the room and closed the door.

Liu Yunxiang turned around and saw a group of people in ragged clothes running this way. A sharp-eyed man in front of him saw Zijin carrying a food box and rushed over to grab it.
