After being forced to marry as a substitute, I became famous in the limbo

Mu Jingzhao was noncommittal, he followed Shen Tong and walked two steps, his eyes slowly fell on the refugees around him who were controlled by the guards.

"How do you plan to deal with these people?" Mu Jingzhao asked in a deep voice.

Shen Tong's eyes slowly flicked across the faces of the group present, and when he turned to Mu Jingzhao, he put on the same smile as usual.

"The minister will find a way to arrange it when he comes down."

Even if Mu Jingzhao didn't believe Shen Tong's words, he couldn't continue talking. He nodded slightly, "If you don't have enough manpower, you can ask me."

"Yes." Shen Tong gestured to the guards beside the refugees, and the guards immediately put down the people they were controlling, and turned around to surround Shen Tong.

"Sir, please."

Mu Jingzhao helped Jiang Ning into the carriage, while he went to find Lin Zheng in the motorcade alone.

Tell him to stay and watch Shen Tong carefully to ensure the safety of the refugees.

His behavior was grandiose, without any intention of concealing it. It seemed that he was telling Lin Zheng, but he was actually warning Shen Tong.

After explaining everything, Mu Jingzhao boarded the carriage again, and the carriage belonging to Shen Tong also turned around and headed towards Qingshui County.

When they got back into the car, Jiang Ning and Mu Jingzhao were extremely silent. The wheels squeaked and creaked. Jiang Ning lifted the curtain, and outside the car, those refugees kept backing away until they disappeared.

Just passing by a forest near the city, a rotten stench hits his face. Jiang Ning is very familiar with this smell, it is the smell of rotting meat.

In the past, she lived in a dilapidated temple, and she was accompanied by mice and wild birds day and night. The dilapidated and barren temple, not to mention food, even some simple tables, chairs and pillars were corroded and hard to shelter from the wind and rain.

Those mice couldn't find food, so they gnawed at the tables, chairs and benches in the temple every night.

Occasionally, a few wild cats on the mountain smelled the smell of mice in the temple, and sneaked into the temple to catch mice for fun.

The wild cats in the mountains are naturally much stronger and more flexible than the domestic cats. Catching mice is a piece of cake for them. After catching many mice, their stomachs are full, and those naughty wild cats start to catch those mice for fun.

He only gnawed and tortured the mouse to death, then threw it aside, and didn't ask any more questions.

Over time, the corpses of rats hidden in Po Temple rotted, and the whole temple would be filled with a disgusting stench.

Jiang Ning would be patient at the beginning to find the dead bodies of the mice and throw them away. However, if she threw away a batch, those wild cats would create a new batch.

As time passed, she simply gave up and let it go in that harsh environment. After a long time, she got used to that weird smell.

However, the smell of decaying rat corpses was different from what she was smelling at the moment.

In the past, the mouse smell she smelled was only faint, if there was no smell, if she didn't smell it carefully, she wouldn't be able to smell it too well.

But today, the rotten smell seemed to be integrated with the oncoming air, and every moment of breathing carried that strong smell.

Jiang Ning subconsciously felt nauseous, the hand that was holding the curtain trembled suddenly, leaned over and retched.

Mu Jingzhao subconsciously reached out to help her, but Jiang Ning didn't care too much. He retched for a long time while holding Mu Jingzhao's arm, and finally sat up slowly while supporting his chest.

However, the dizziness brought by the nausea lingered in her mind for a long time and could not go away.

Fortunately, she didn't eat anything, otherwise, if she spit out something, Mu Jingzhao would probably make her lose money again.

Jiang Ning stroked his chest to comfort himself, while thinking dizzily.

"Would you like some water?"

Before she could answer, Mu Jingzhao had already unscrewed the kettle and brought it to her lips.

Jiang Ning reached out to take it, raised his head without hesitation and poured down a few big gulps, only then felt the dizziness in his head eased a little.

"Thank you." She returned the kettle in her hand to Mu Jingzhao, but her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of Mu Jingzhao's calm expression. Jiang Ning was astonished, but soon understood.

Mu Jingzhao had fought with the army before, so he was naturally used to the smell of decaying corpses.

It's early summer at this time, and it takes only a few days for a person to go from dead to rotten to a handful of bones. Fortunately, the weather is not too hot now. If it comes to midsummer, once the plague becomes prevalent , it is even more troublesome.

The two of them were tacitly aware of the source of the stench of corpses, but they were quite dedicated and did not talk, and they did not try to raise the curtain to check the scenery outside the window.

They just kept silent with each other, quietly accepting this baptism from Qingshui County.

I don't know how long the car has been driving, but Jiang Ning can't even smell the stench anymore. It was getting late, and a few crows whimpered and flew past. Stop slowly.

Li Zinian opened the curtain and said to Jiang Ning and Mu Jingzhao in the car, "Master, madam, we have arrived."

Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning nodded and got out of the car one by one.

Shen Tong led Mu Jingzhao and his party forward, and all the accompanying people got out of the car to follow, but Liu Jinfu disappeared. Mu Jingzhao seemed to have gotten used to it and didn't pursue it, while Jiang Ning was still stuck on the road. In the shock that came, he did not realize that Liu Jinfu and his party were missing at this moment.

When Jiang Ning got off the car, he saw a house with white walls and blue tiles. The house occupies a huge area, which may be no less than the queen's palace. In the courtyard, there are rockeries and pavilions, lush forests and bamboos. It is elegant and clean, but the layout is not in the slightest. It can be said that it is only piled up blindly.

In this way, not only did not see the elegant taste of the owner of the house, but it was rather arty.

Jiang Ning sighed secretly, the green mountains and green waters here are really not the same world as what he saw outside the city just now.

She didn't understand why Shen Tong chose such a luxurious room to receive them. In such a chaotic situation outside, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep well even in such a peaceful and comfortable courtyard.

Just when she was confused, Shen Tong said: "Originally, the old minister also felt that it was a bit outrageous to arrange such a luxurious house for the emperor's ladies, but I have no choice but to have such a place that can accommodate so many people. Such a place is the safest."

Mu Jingzhao nodded slightly and stopped asking, expressing his understanding.

Shen Tong continued to lead the crowd forward, and while walking towards the lobby of the house, he said to the crowd, "I have prepared the dinner, and I just wait for you to rest for a while before you can eat. As for the rooms, you can freely allocate them." .”

Shen Tong led the crowd through the hall and came to the backyard. There were many houses distributed in the backyard, all of which were clean, tidy and elegantly furnished, but the houses were all very close to each other.People who were originally separated by layers of palace walls, living here seem to have become the most ordinary neighbors and folks.

"Anyway, this house is definitely enough."

Shen Tong gestured for everyone to go at their own pace, and then found an excuse to leave.
