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

Chapter 74

Liu Yunxiang's scalp became tense, and he quickly changed the subject: "Shall I help the prince take it down?"

"No, it's within reach."

As he spoke, Lu Changan stretched out his arms and grabbed the kite.

Zijin hadn't come back until noon.

Lu Chang'an invited Liu Yunxiang to his courtyard for dinner, fearing that he would start rambling, Liu Yunxiang did not refuse.

Out of Liu Yunxiang's expectation, there was only one servant in his courtyard.

"Where are the others?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"There is one more, he has already returned to the palace." Lu Chang'an said.

A boy wearing a green cloth bunt came up and said angrily: "The prince is so kind to him, what's wrong with missing a meal or two, and he is so hungry that he left the prince and left."

"Danqing, don't tell people's right and wrong behind your back." Lu Changan said displeased.

Dan Qing, the boy, sighed, "Your Majesty, you are too innocent to be bullied."

"They love to bully, not because others are easy to bully, but because of their own bad nature."

"Yes, the prince is right."

The boy obviously disagreed, but he didn't refute any more, and obediently went to the kitchen to make food.

At this time, there is no need to pay attention to the number of dishes and soups. A plate of steamed buns and two bowls of egg drop soup with a little egg flakes are lunch.

Lu Changan felt a little embarrassed, and said, "I hope the third lady will not dislike you."

Liu Yunxiang looked at the simple rice on the table, not to mention the meat, there were no vegetables, so he couldn't help frowning, "You only eat these every day?"

Lu Changan said awkwardly: "I'm not particular about food at all, if the third wife is not used to it..."

"I'm worried about Shizi's body."

Lu Changan was slightly startled, then shook his head, "My health is much better, thank you Third Madam for your concern."

At this time, the courtyard door was knocked, not loudly, knocked twice, after a while, knocked twice again.

"Danqing, go and open the door." Lu Changan called to the kitchen.

But Danqing came out angrily, "It must be those little devils again, they come every day at the right time. My son, let's not open the door, if this continues, you will starve to death."

"Danqing!" Lu Changan shouted in a low voice.

Danqing was so angry that he couldn't help but flicked his sleeves to open the door.

Liu Yunxiang didn't know why, so he turned his head to look, but saw a group of children standing at the door, the older ones were seven or eight years old, and the younger ones were two or three years old, standing there timidly, there were about a dozen children.

Danqing let them in, and then locked the courtyard door.

Lu Changan got up, first took out a steamed bun from the basket and gave it to Liu Yunxiang, and then went over with the basket.

Those children were still timid, but at this moment they surrounded Lu Changan, and the older children stretched out their hands to grab into the basket.Lu Changan raised it higher to let these children stand in line.

After the children stood up, he divided the steamed buns into two or three halves and distributed them to the older and younger children.

Dan Qing said anxiously: "Your Majesty, save one for yourself!"

"I'm not hungry."

"You just took a sip of soup last night and haven't eaten anything until now, how can you not be hungry!"

"I'm fine, did you just eat in the kitchen?"

Danqing pursed her lips, "I ate."

"That's all for them."

Lu Changan distributed the steamed buns to these children, no one got much, and they ate it up in a few bites, but it was better to have a few bites than not to eat, at least it could support this life.

Liu Yunxiang looked at Lu Changan, his face was haggard, his figure was thin, and he coughed from time to time, he was going to die himself, but he still cared about others.

He is indeed Lu Changan.

In the previous life, in order to save other people's lives, he took his own life into it.

At this time, there was a sudden bang, which came from the courtyard next door.

Danqing hurriedly went out to have a look, only glanced at it, and hurried back to close the door, looking terrified and frightened.

"It's not good, a group of people smashed the door of the courtyard next door, and they probably went in to grab something. What should we do, the next one is ours."

Lu Changan first glanced at the children in front of him, then turned his head to look at Liu Yunxiang, and said decisively: "Danqing, quickly take the third wife and these children to hide in the house!"

"It's useless!"

"Go!"

Seeing Lu Changan's serious expression, Dan Qing didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly led the children into the house.

Liu Yunxiang heard the movement next door, they were smashing something, and someone was cursing.

"There are no people living in this courtyard. Damn it, I haven't seen any food!"

"Okay, don't bother, go to the next house!"

"go!"

Liu Yunxiang's heart tightened. The people in their yard, including a sick child, a pregnant woman, a skinny servant, and several children, let alone resisted, would not be able to withstand a few beatings.

"Third Madam, don't be afraid, I'm here to bear it, you go inside!" Lu Changan thought Liu Yunxiang was afraid, so he comforted her in a gentle voice.

"The son has not recovered from his serious illness, how can he withstand it?"

At this time, there was a bang, and the gate of the courtyard was kicked violently.

In a panic, Lu Changan pushed Liu Yunxiang into the house, "I risked my life, I won't let them hurt you, go in quickly."

Liu Yunxiang was pushed into the room, Danqing came up and quickly closed the door.

There was another sound, and the group rushed in.

Liu Yunxiang looked out through the crack of the door, and saw that the group of people were the young and strong men who smashed up the shops facing the street, all of them were holding sharp weapons such as big knives and axes.

Lu Changan stood in the middle of the courtyard, tall and tall, his body was thin but straight as a mountain peak.

"It's against the law for you to force your way into other people's houses!"

The leader of the group was a young man in black shorts, about [-] years old, with messy hair tied together, small eyes and big mouth, with a fierce look.

"Stop talking nonsense, we're all going to starve to death, and we're afraid of breaking the law?"

"You want food?"

"We want everything, food, gold and silver, women, children!"

Lu Changan frowned, "What do you want women and children for?"

The leader chuckled, "What do you want a woman to do, why don't you pretend you don't understand? And the children, huh, keep them in pens, and kill one when they are very hungry."

Lu Changan's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard: "A bunch of beasts!"

"Beast?" Young laughed loudly, "We poor people are born to be animals, so we should see what animals can do! Alright, don't talk nonsense with you, the big guys go in and grab it!"
