Dragging the family to flee famine?Don't be afraid, I have room to fill the granary

Chapter 75 Just Want to Live
Several people sat around the table, and Tao Qiqi poured a cup of tea for everyone.

Watching Nangong Yi drink up the tea in the cup, Nangong Ye took the initiative to ask: "Tell me, why did you appear here? If I remember correctly, your fief should not be in the south, right?"

Nangong Yi replied: "Actually, if I don't say anything, the third brother must have already figured it out. It was the second brother who asked me to come."

Nangong Ye asked again: "Then you have already been bribed by him?"

Nangong Yi replied anxiously: "No, I have no choice. Third brother, you know that if I didn't agree to him, I would have gone to see my father by now. Promising him is also an expedient measure."

"Then the purpose of your trip is to persuade me to help him?"

"No, I won't convince the third brother of any of his decisions. I came here this time to find the third brother as a backer. I asked for the protection of the third brother. Since I heard something about the third brother, I temporarily agreed to the second brother. At the request of my elder brother, I took the initiative to propose to my second elder brother to let me approach my third elder brother. In this way, I can come to my third elder brother justifiably. In order for my second elder brother to successfully approach my third elder brother, I will arrange someone to protect me on the way."

"Aren't you afraid of angering him by doing this?"

"As long as I get close to Third Brother, he won't know exactly what I said to you. Besides, if I can have Third Brother's protection, it doesn't matter whether I offend him or not."

After hearing this, Tao Qiqi couldn't help but said: "Then you are dragging your third brother into the pit of fire."

"How can you say that you dragged my third brother into the pit of fire? The third brother knows what the second brother wants. As long as the third brother refuses to agree for a day, even without me, the second brother will not give up on the third brother. What happened along the way Don't you know everything about it? How much effort did the second brother spend to get close to the third brother?"

Tao Qiqi nodded: "That's true. But, is your second brother so easy to fool? While you agreed to cooperate with him, you came to your third brother for protection. Why would he believe that you will not betray him?"

Nangong Yi replied: "He has already taken away what he wants from me. To me, I am just a pawn of his. Now that he is using me to get something from Third Brother, he can only choose to believe it." .”

"Then you made a good choice, neither side should be offended." Tao Qiqi mercilessly exposed Nangong Yi's calculations.

After hearing this, Nangong Yi didn't quibble, and even boldly admitted it.

"Yes, I dare not offend any of them, because I just want to live."

The words "live" made Tao Qiqi couldn't help but look up at him.

Although she has never personally experienced a power struggle, whether she read novels or watched costume dramas in her previous life, the royal family's overt and covert struggles were not simple.

Some are for power, some are for money, some are just for living.

Nangong Ye once did not fight or grab in order to survive.

The same goes for Nangong Yi now who cannot offend anyone.

And isn't she also working hard to become stronger and make money in order to live?

Then I have no reason to laugh at others.

"Sorry." Tao Qiqi apologized to Nangong Yi and poured him a cup of tea.

Nangong Yi was not angry, but continued to say: "Actually, I don't care who takes that position, I just hope that he will not attack his brother, and that he will think more about the common people.

Since the eldest brother took that position, although he hasn't seen any action against us brothers yet, he is aware of the second brother's secret operations. If he doesn't stop him, he is actually waiting for an opportunity.

Not only that, he also didn't care about the life and death of ordinary people.On the way here this time, the common people were discussing and waiting for the relief food, but what they didn't know was that there would be no relief food at all. "

"Why?" Tao Qiqi looked confused.

Nan Gongyi replied: "Drought in the north these years, there has been no harvest for more than two years. The common people have no rice to cook and no rice to pay for food. If the food is not paid, the granaries everywhere will be empty. If there is no food, what will happen to the soldiers at the border? Guaranteed to guard the country. Although the south has not been affected, there are too many people asking for food, so it can't be controlled."

Tao Qiqi: "If you really want to take care of it, you can still get some out by squeezing between your fingers. Just a little bit is enough for the people to survive."

Hearing Tao Qiqi's words, Nangong Yi nodded in agreement: "Indeed. A squeeze is enough for the common people to survive. But the problem is, at this critical moment, he didn't think about his people, but about How to expand the territory."

reed——

Hearing this, Tao Qiqi stood up from the stone bench angrily, "If all the people in Dayong starve to death, it will be useless for him to expand the territory. He plans to bury all this soil after his death. On yourself, and then pressed into 18 levels of hell?"

"18 levels of hell? What do you mean?" Nangong Yi asked doubtfully.

Tao Qiqi realized that she was rude, but fortunately there is no such thing as 18 floors of hell at this time, so she hurriedly said: "It's okay."

Seeing that Tao Qiqi said it was okay, Nangong Yi did not continue to ask, but looked at his third brother, and then asked tentatively: "Doesn't third brother have any plans now?"

Nangong Ye understood what Nangong Yi wanted to ask, looked up at him, and replied lightly: "Yes."

When Nangong Yi heard this word, his eyes lit up, and he was about to say something, but Nangong Ye changed his words and said again: "Take your Aunt Jiang to the fief safely and live your own life. This is mine. Intend."

"Third brother, you know what I want to ask!"

"What is it?" Nangong Ye deliberately continued to act stupid.

"Among us brothers, I know that only you are the most suitable for that position. I believe my father thought so too at the beginning. But why are you? Now can you really bear to watch the people suffer?"

"What if that's not the case? Thousands of miles away to kill someone?"

This is a sentence that Tao Qiqi said back then, and he picked it up and used it here.

But now he really understood the meaning of this sentence.

"Third brother, don't you still have Mr. Peach. At least you are stronger than me and second brother. Second brother is not willing to be weak, so you shouldn't be unmoved. Or, are you really from the beginning to the end? Never thought about that position?"

"I haven't thought about it. I won't think about it in the future. So don't say these words in the future. If you want to survive, you must understand what to say and what not to say."

It's not that Nangong Ye hasn't thought about it now, it's because he thinks too clearly, so he remains unmoved.

A good hand is no match for two fists, and two fists is no match for four hands, he thought too clearly.

Although he is currently protected by Qi Qi, protection is one thing. He can never let Qi Qi risk his life to snatch that position for him.No matter how powerful Qiqi is, he can't be more powerful than tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

As for the common people, he can only say that he should do his best to obey the destiny and do his best.

Nangong Yi saw that the third brother really didn't seem to have that idea, so he didn't continue the topic, but his mind obviously became a lot heavier.

The eldest brother is ruthless and the second brother is ruthless. Only when the third brother sits in that position can the country and the people be truly safe, but the third brother has no such intention.

Tao Qiqi on the side watched the two brothers' topic suddenly stop, and the atmosphere was a little tense. She wanted to say something to brighten the atmosphere, but the system's voice suddenly rang.
