The struggle of the reborn prince

But within 10 minutes, the group of people surrounded them, and the defenders on the palace city also lit torches at this time, and more people rushed to the top of the city, bowing their bows and setting arrows as if they were facing an enemy.Zhao Tong was also a little nervous at this time, both sides moved at the same time, he could be said to have become a 'turtle' in the urn, with nowhere to escape.

"Second Master, it doesn't seem right?" Pan Long turned his head and said to Zhao Tong who was standing in the center.

"Oh?!" Zhao Tuo parted the crowd and looked out. These people were not quite right. Although they were wearing the military uniforms of the Song Dynasty, the things they held in their hands were buckets, water bags, water bags, sprinklers, and hemp bags. , axes, saws, ladders, fire forks, big ropes, iron anchors, they don't look like arresting people, but they look like the current demolition company is doing forced demolition in the middle of the night.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Zhao Tong shouted to the people.

"Hmph, why did you light the fire in the middle of the night?" A rider rushed out of the crowd, pointed at Zhao Tun and asked, looking like a leader.

"You are blind, we are burning paper money, are you in charge?" Xue Bao replied by stepping forward to cover Zhao Tun.

"Of course we are in charge. We are from Yujie Submerged Fire Shop. We are in charge of patrolling and extinguishing fires. Have you ever reported to us for burning paper money in the middle of the night!" the man said with a sneer.

"Oh, it turned out to be the fire brigade of the Communist Party of China. It was a false alarm to recruit them by burning paper money!" Zhao Tang felt relieved. These people came for the fire, not to clear the scene. He kicked the side The Jianxi above means that you are still wearing the clothes of a servant, anyway, you are still an official, and I will leave it to you to wipe your ass!

"May I ask which brother is leading the team, let's take a step to talk!" Jian Xi said with a smile and cupped his hands.

"That's right, the Kaifeng mansion inspects Li Wei, may I ask what you are doing, why are you burning papers in front of the imperial city?" The man on horseback replied.

"Oh, it's Inspector Li. I'm the senior servant of Prince Yan's mansion. Prince Yan is here to guard the queen's spirit. The fire just got a little bigger and alarmed the brothers. I'm really sorry!" See Xi Said.

"Yes...is Prince Yan paying homage to the queen here?" Inspector Li said with some disbelief.

"Inspector Li, hurry up if you have nothing to do. This is Prince Yan. You make such a fuss, let us follow suit!" Of course the dream will not be happy.

"The Kaifeng government inspector Li Wei paid a visit to Prince Yan. I offended you just now. Please don't remember the villain's mistakes and don't blame me!" After hearing this, Li Wei quickly got off his horse and pleaded guilty.

"Okay, okay, we'll stay here for a few more days, you don't have to come every day, we'll report it today!" Zhao Tun said dumbfounded, today's fire is too big.He just asked another Xiaohuangmen to figure it out. The capital is densely populated, with many houses, palaces and temples, and most of these are made of wood. From the very beginning, the work of fire prevention and fire fighting was regarded as the key point. Later, the elite of the forbidden army was transferred to establish the first full-time fire brigade in history. Severe punishment measures were formulated. Find the fire and put it out in time.

The morning bell rang on time. Although it was the time of the Queen's funeral, it didn't have much impact on the small people in Shengdou. They still got up early to eat and run for the day.When they opened the shop door, they found that the group of people in front of the palace door were still there, and the incense candles were still burning, but everyone's body was covered with hoarfrost, and they were exhausted, but they could only sigh and express their regret. Sympathy, so what?

"Jianxi, go buy some food and distribute it to everyone. It's not an option to stay with me like this. In addition, you try to buy a fur coat for everyone. Don't care about the high or low. You must be the best, or you will spend another night, good man It's going to freeze too!" Zhao Tong ordered after washing his face with the hot water that Jianxi begged for from the shop along the street, and then replaced the tributes on the altar table with the newly bought ones.

"Second Master, what about you?" Jian Xi nodded and asked again.

"I...I have to obey the rules. I can't make the slightest mistake at this time, do you understand?" Zhao Tuo said with a wry smile as he looked at the sun rising in the east and stretched his waist.

"Well, my lord, is your body suffering? We still have a few more days!" Jianxi's tears were about to fall, knowing that persuasion was useless, but he couldn't help but say it.

"My lord, don't worry about us. If you don't eat for a day, we don't eat for a day. If there is no master who doesn't eat, the servants will eat first. Although I, Pan Long, am a vulgar person, I still know this truth!" Long heard the conversation between the two and came over and said in a low voice.

"Brother Pan, you still have to protect me every day. How can you get strength if you don't eat, so we will all be dragged down..."

"My lord, don't try to persuade me any more. You don't eat or sleep here to show your filial piety to your mother. We are also showing our loyalty to the Lord. We don't want to be called unfaithful and unrighteous people by our comrades!" Xue Bao said solemnly, clasping his fists.

"Hey, how can I repay you for your deep friendship..." Looking at these resolute men, Zhao Tang's voice choked up, and tears could not help but fall down.

······

It was another three days, and Zhao Tun still insisted on the ancient ceremony of laying down a meal day and night, and eating at the time of eating. Although it has come to the day of serving, no one has given them a bowl of gruel. Looking at him now, he is not as good as the previous few On that day, two sunken eye sockets, protruding cheekbones, blue complexion, chapped mouth corners, and a lonely figure, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.Others were not much better. A man like Pan Long who used to eat two catties of meat for a meal was even more difficult. His bulging cheeks collapsed, but everyone was sticking with the prince.

"Mother, just say something, my little brother hasn't eaten for many days, are you just watching him starve to death at the door of the house?" Zhao Yu said with tears on his cheeks, kneeling in front of Zheng Hongmei, sobbing.

"Yupan, get up, you are crying, you don't look like the eldest daughter of the emperor!" Zheng Hongmei reprimanded sharply.

"Mother... If you don't let my younger brother enter the palace, I won't afford it!" Zhao Yupan said, grabbing Zheng Hongmei's sleeve.

"This matter is his violation of the law first, and it is an unforgivable crime. How can I enforce the law and break the law? Get out!" Zheng Hongmei flicked her sleeves, turned and left, leaving only Zhao Yupan lying on the ground crying .

Zheng Hongmei entered the study, screened back left and right, took out a note from her sleeve, unfolded it, and there were only four words on it: "Mountainless as a mountain," and "Mountainless as a mountain, what Taurus means is not to let me worry about him!" Clever immediately understood the meaning from the note that Zhao Tong passed in.

"Ta'er, you are the flesh that fell from my pregnancy in October, how can I be indifferent..." Zheng Hongmei said to herself, her son can be said to be in a desperate situation now, but there is no resentment in his words, and he still understands Her own inaction, at this moment, guilt and worry were like a knife piercing her heart, making her miserable and tormenting the mother.

······

On October [-]th, Zhao Tun and his group had been hungry for five days. The clock tower had just rang and it was already noon. They sat together facing the south, enjoying the warmest moment of the day. Move it a little bit, even with a little finger.

"Brother Xue, I dare to bet you, that little lady's food box must contain almonds, dates and japonica rice porridge!" Hong Ba sniffled.

"Damn, I won't bet with you anymore. Your nose is better than a dog's when you've been hungry for a few days. All my money went into your pocket!" Xue Bao shook his head and refused, he was already afraid of losing La.

"Oh, let the dogs drink all the good porridge!" Pan Long said, lying on the ground sprawled.

"Brother Pan, if this porridge is for us, wouldn't everyone be dogs!" Zhang Hao joked.

"Tch, if it was given to us, I will bark three times like a dog and apologize to everyone!" Pan Long said disdainfully.

"Brother Pan, that little lady is really coming towards us!" Zhang Hao suddenly sat up, poked Pan Long and said.

"Don't coax me, I have no way to make money!" Pan Long said angrily. He didn't believe how many food deliverers passed by them these days, and none of them stopped.

"Everyone, my young lady asked me to bring a bowl of porridge to my filial son, please take it!" As soon as he finished speaking, the little lady said to them with a half salute.

"This..." Everyone couldn't believe it, they looked at each other, and Pan Long even pinched his thigh, suspecting that he was dreaming.

"Thank you, little lady, may I ask which family you belong to, we will thank you again in the future!" Jianxi reacted quickly and immediately got up and said.

"My lady is only touched by the filial son, there is no need!" The little lady said with a smile.

"Then thank you on behalf of my lord!" Jianxi took the food box and thanked him. At this moment, a man dressed as a clerk bumped into him as if he was drunk, and knocked Jianxi into a stagger. fall.

"I'm sorry, it's a good thing the porridge wasn't spilled!" The man supported Jianxi, opened the food box and said apologetically.

"Grow eyes, it's life-saving!" Jian Xi yelled angrily, snatched the food box back into his arms, and the clerk said something humbly and walked away.

"Second Lord, someone has served the porridge, it's still warm, hurry up and eat it!" Jian Xi said, not caring about arguing with the clerk anymore, took the porridge out of the food box, and brought it to Zhao Tong carefully.

"Oh!" Zhao Tun, who was practicing 'turtle breath **' to save energy, lifted the cloak covering his body and sat up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the porridge in front of him. The porridge was indeed good, and there were not only walnuts in it , almonds, candied dates, raisins, and white sesame seeds, but there are too few, there is only one bowl, and it may be enough to fill [-]% of it.

"Second Lord, eat quickly, don't look at it, or it will be cold!" Xue Bao also persuaded, but Zhao Tang clearly saw his Adam's apple wriggling a few times.

"Eat, eat..." The guards gathered around happily. It's not easy for the prince to survive so young. Everyone hoped that he would drink the porridge as soon as possible.

"Well, it smells so good, I'll take a sip first!" Zhao Tang sniffed the bowl and said with a smile, picked up the bowl and took a big mouthful of porridge from the side of the bowl, then licked his lips and handed it to his side Pan Long said, "Brother Pan, it's your turn, don't drink it up, leave a sip for everyone!"
