Mu Jingzhao was slightly taken aback, and he turned to look at Jiang Ning beside him. At this moment, the curtains of the carriage were shaking from side to side as the carriage moved forward, and a faint sunlight fell on the corners of Jiang Ning's eyes.

The trace of pride in her brow made even the sunlight look a little more moving.

Sensing the turn of the other party's gaze, Mu Jingzhao quickly lowered his eyes and chuckled, "No wonder you like the imperial concubine so much."

"Your Majesty, Qingshui County is ahead." Li Zinian's voice came from the front of the car.

Both Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning were silent for a moment. After a long time, Mu Jingzhao stretched lazily and leaned straight behind him.

"It's finally here." His whole body went limp, his eyes showed undisguised exhaustion, "My bones are about to fall apart."

At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Jiang Ning's body suddenly leaned back due to inertia, and hit the wall behind him straight.

However, her backward movement was stopped halfway through. Jiang Ning turned around and saw Mu Jingzhao's arm lying behind her, separating her back from the car wall somewhat stiffly.

"Nothing, it should be that the road ahead is not easy, don't worry."

Jiang Ning nodded slightly and thanked him softly.

The two sat in relative silence again.

Jiang Ning raised his hand to support the car window, and unconsciously glanced at Mu Jingzhao who was beside him. Today he was wearing a light blue robe, and his long hair was combed into the simplest style. They all seemed a little softer.

The car stopped for an unknown amount of time, and fragmentary footsteps and arguments came from outside.

Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning looked at each other in confusion. Mu Jingzhao stepped forward first, opened the curtain and asked the people outside, "What happened?"

Li Zinian, who was driving the horse in front, turned around and said, "It's all right, it's just that there are some obstacles on the road, the emperor shut up—my lord, please wait patiently for a while."

Mu Jingzhao nodded in response, and was about to put down the curtain when he saw a young man with disheveled hair and ragged clothes rushing towards the car door.

The man was extremely powerful, the protruding ribs on his chest collided fiercely with the car body, and there was a muffled sound, which had a kind of sternness and determination that put life and death aside.

The young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with dark skin, skinny bones, short shaved hair, cheekbones protruding stubbornly on his overly thin face, and clear determination in his eyes.

"Good-hearted man, please do me a favor and send me something to eat."

Jiang Ning was taken aback by this sudden change, and Mu Jingzhao almost reflexively stood in front of her.

Seeing this, Li Zinian turned pale with shock, and quickly spat, "You are not greedy enough, if you startle our young master, even if you have ten heads, you won't be able to lose it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the plainclothes imperial guards headed by Lu Feng rushed up and dragged the man out.

"Good man, please give me something to eat, please."

Mu Jingzhao frowned slightly, "What's going on?"

"Master Hui, this young man should be a commoner who was displaced by the rebellion."

"Since they are common people, why not save them?"

Li Zinian showed a little contempt on his face, "It would be fine if he only wanted to fill his own stomach, but he is greedy. He gave food and said there was not enough food. There are old and young in his family." , gave it to the old and the young, and said that there are neighbors and folks."

Speaking of this, Li Zinian also sighed helplessly, "Now Qingshui County is in chaos, everyone is in danger, even if we can save a few, it's just a drop in the bucket, besides, we still have this big team People, you must put yourself first in everything.”

The man's begging sound became farther and farther between the two of them talking.

"Can't we give it to them first, and let's buy it later?"

"Oh, my Wan-Master. At the beginning we also talked about giving him money, but he refused to take it, saying it was useless. Think about it, if this money can really buy things, this old rascal Can you not?"

During the conversation with Li Zinian, Mu Jingzhao frowned more and more.

The situation in Qingshui County now seems to be much worse than he imagined.

"I'll get out of the car and take a look." Mu Jingzhao said so, and raised his hand to lift the curtain and walk down.

Li Zinian knew that he was powerless to stop him, so he just nodded and entrusted the carriage to another young eunuch, who followed closely behind Mu Jingzhao.

"Me too." Inside the car, Jiang Ning said.

Mu Jingzhao turned his head to look at her, and after seeing the determination in her eyes, he stopped blocking and nodded in agreement.

Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning walked side by side, Li Zinian followed closely behind them, and the three of them walked towards the front of the convoy together.

In front of the convoy, Lu Feng and Deputy General Chen threw the skinny young man under the shade of a tree not far away. Beside him, a girl about ten years old shrank and leaned against his arms.

Lu Feng bent down, whispered something in that young man's ear, and carefully took out a handful of dry food from his bosom, stuffed it into the bosom of your young mother, and then turned and left.

Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, the boy casually grabbed a stone by the side of the road and threw it straight at the back of Lu Feng's head.

As the stone hit, there was also an unbearable curse, "If you don't give it, you won't give it. Who will you show it to? You want to do bad things and want to get a good reputation. There is no such reason in the world. Such a little thing , you should keep it and send the beggars away!"

Fortunately, Lu Feng's mind was quick, and he dodged the flying stone with a flash of his figure, but the vicious words fell on him without warning.

The stone rolled twice on the ground and landed at Mu Jingzhao's feet. Mu Jingzhao lowered his head and looked at the stone for a long time without speaking.

Over there, the vicious curse continued, "You big shots are nothing more than human-faced, beast-like people! You have to look noble and kind-hearted, and you can't bear to pay for a few good words. How can there be such a good deal!"

"Yes, yes! The hearts of you rich people are really vicious!"

"If you hadn't all taken the money away, how could we have come to where we are today!"

The surrounding echoes sounded in unison, and Jiang Ning realized that this area was full of refugees in ragged clothes. The young ones were still breastfeeding in their mother's arms, and the older ones looked about seventy or eighty.

Everyone is skinny and naked.

Lu Feng blushed amidst the insults, but he didn't reply because of the faces of these people.

Seeing the waves of insults getting louder and louder, Mu Jingzhao really couldn't hold back his face.

The words of these people seemed to be insulting the rich, but in fact, every word and every word fell on Mu Jingzhao.

These insults sound like resentment without any logic, but if you look carefully, it could be that people like Mu Jingzhao enjoy the taxes paid by the people and live a luxurious and carefree life, but they are indifferent when the people are in dire straits
