The imperial concubine is charming and coquettish, she crazily criticizes the tyrant for spoiling he

Chapter 74 Adversity sees the truth

"How did you come?"

Lian Jinchen pulled Qi Mingyue away subconsciously, his brows knit into a ball.

He even hurriedly took a look behind Qi Mingyue, and after seeing Qi Guogong, he was slightly relieved.

For disaster relief, he hasn't had a full night's sleep these days, especially in the past few days, it's not an exaggeration to say that the money and food for disaster relief are delayed for a day, and the situation in Lingzhou is chaotic for a day, and I don't know how many people will die it's here.

He has fought in wars and seen bloody battlefields, but this is the first time he has seen the tragic plight of those innocent people under a disaster.

He was afraid that something might go wrong in the middle, and that he would die at that time.

Originally on the way to Lingzhou, he and King Ning secretly had a little bit of rivalry with each other, but after arriving in Lingzhou, facing the current situation in Lingzhou, let alone rivalry, they worked together for fear of not getting things done. Done well, we won't be able to close the session by then.

King Ning was worse than him, he didn't have enough money and food, day and night he led the officials of the household department to try to keep accounts to raise money and food, and his food and lodging were all in the government office.

At this time, let alone talk about the love between his son and daughter, he doesn't even have time to clean up himself.

"Brother Chen," Qi Mingyue looked at Lian Jinchen's attitude, her eyes turned red.

"Cough," Qi Heng, the Duke of the State of Qi who came over, was also a little embarrassed when he saw Lian Jinchen's face. He also knew that it was inappropriate to bring Mingyue here at this time, but so many things happened in the capital before, and he was not in the capital. After suffering so much grievance, the wife even fell ill because of it, and the family was in chaos.In this situation, Mingyue experienced another danger, and he couldn't refuse her request no matter what.

You can only bring her here.

People say that a friend in adversity sees the truth, and he thought that maybe after going through this experience, the relationship between the two of them could be eased.

After all, if there was a little misunderstanding in the deep relationship in the past, it would not cause trouble to the present.

It's not that Qi Guogong's mansion can't afford to lose face, but he is also worried that Mingyue's body will not be able to hold on if this continues.

He has already owed another child, and he can no longer watch Mingyue have any accidents.

"All the money and food raised by the household department have been delivered safely, and the second batch of household departments are still trying to find a way. It is urgent to solve the urgent need first." Qi Guogong explained the business to Lian Jinchen first, and then lowered his voice, leading Apologetically, she told Lian Jinchen,
"Your Highness, Mingyue is in poor health. She was exhausted from traveling and traveling. It was also because she was worried about you that she lost weight several times. She almost had an accident in Beijing. She was saved thanks to meeting King Ke."

"Daddy, I'm fine. I'm just worried about Brother Chen. Other things are not important." Qi Mingyue looked at Lian Jinchen with aggrieved eyes, but seemed to be holding back tears stubbornly, looking extremely pitiful.

Lian Jinchen's face darkened slightly.

For the news in Beijing, Lian Jinchen only read the news about the disaster relief, but he didn't have time to read what happened in the house.

Not to mention what happened to Qi Mingyue.

But no matter what, at this time, he really didn't care about Qi Mingyue, this is not the place to talk, he glanced at the carriage, and called to the maid who followed Qi Mingyue, "Put...help her into the carriage first."

"Brother Chen,..." Qi Mingyue grabbed his hand.

"Go in first." Lian Jinchen had no choice but to soften his voice.

Seeing his soft attitude, Qi Mingyue finally smiled, and obediently followed the maid back to the carriage.

Lian Jinchen then said to Qi Guogong: "Your Majesty has received news from Lingzhou, and he will probably come over in the next few days. Lingzhou is in chaos now. If things can't be handled this time, it will be difficult for the king to deal with business, so please ask Forgive me, duke, when I trouble you to return to Beijing, you should take Mingyue back first. Since the king has let her enter the mansion, he will not treat her badly in the future. This is what the king promised. It hasn't changed either."

Qi Guogong frowned, although he admitted that Lian Jinchen's words were reasonable, but now what's the matter with Qi Mingyue being in his house with no name or distinction?

Back then, he had agreed to marry Mingyue as his concubine.

Now he promised to let the side concubine come in without mentioning Mingyue's status.

If he was in the capital at this time, he would have to have a good talk with him, not to bully others like this.

But right now, it's really not the time to talk about such things.

There is no room for error in the errands assigned by His Majesty, otherwise neither he nor Lian Jinchen would be able to account for them.

Everything has priorities, no matter how uncomfortable he is, he can only endure it first.

"After the handover, I'm going back to Beijing. In the past few days, Mingyue can always stay?" Qi Guogong looked at Lian Jinchen.

Lian Jinchen's face was ugly, but he still nodded his head: "Lingzhou is in chaos now, and I don't have the ability to take care of it. I have to trouble the Duke these days."

Qi Guogong almost cursed.

Lian Jinchen was clearly telling him that he brought Qi Mingyue here just to cause trouble.

He doesn't have time anyway, so he doesn't care.

It just doesn't make sense!

But he doesn't care about this matter, and it's not good to break up with Lian Jinchen at this time, so he can only "hum", "The old minister knows."

Even Jinchen didn't have time to appease him, so he directly directed the guards he brought over to escort the money and grain to disembark, and he had to always pay attention to the surrounding movements. Although this is the wharf of the state capital, the whole Lingzhou is about to fall into chaos, and there is no way to prevent it. Does anyone have an idea for this money.

So he didn't even dare to relax for a moment.

But the more I am afraid of something, the more something will come.

Just as the escorted money and food were unloaded from the boat, before they started to leave, someone threw a few torches with thick smoke at the boat.

The weather was dry and the boat caught fire immediately.

Even Qi Guogong was shocked by this sudden change.

He hurriedly directed people to put out the fire, but was stopped by Lian Jinchen, "Duke, it's not the time to take care of the ships, you take Mingyue into the city first, this money is very important, there must be no accidents."

Now I don't know how many people are in the dark, and there are still more than ten miles from the pier to Fucheng, and I don't know how many refugees are guarding halfway.

No delay.

Qi Guogong did not expect that the situation in Lingzhou had become so serious, and he finally realized that his move of letting Mingyue come with him was outrageous.

Before he could let go of his frowning brows, he saw human heads emerging from the water, and he didn't know how long he had been lurking.

Seeing that the torch was useless, a group of people went ashore with their knives in hand.

He rushed towards the money and food.

After a rough look, there are at least a hundred or ten people.

Even Jinchen and the others didn't notice such a big movement, and they don't know how long the other party has been hiding in secret.

"Brothers, go—" A group of people who were like wild wolves who were not afraid of death raised their knives and slashed at the guards guarding the money and food.

A group of people fell into a melee in the blink of an eye.

"Woo--"

Suddenly, there was a loud suona sound not far away.

A big ship is slowly approaching.
