Bringing love across time and space
Chapter 72: The Fleeing Team
The morning light from the Western Regions had not yet spread over the golden roof of the palace. The emperor woke up in the lazy morning.
But I was shocked to find myself lying on the cold floor, with nothing around me.
The magnificent furnishings of the past were gone. The entire palace seemed to have been swept away by a storm, and all the valuables disappeared.
At this time, the chief eunuch came quickly and knelt in front of the emperor with a terrified look on his face:
"Your Majesty, the palace has unfortunately been robbed by thieves. There is nothing left in the palace now."
The emperor was shocked and looked for his yellow robe and crown in a hurry, but he couldn't find them.
With no other choice, he had to put on his casual clothes and hurried to the morning court.
In the court, the ministers had already learned of the theft in the palace and were talking about it.
The Minister of Revenue held the imperial tablet in his hand and reported solemnly, "Your Majesty, last night the thieves were rampant and looted the two treasuries of the Ministry of Revenue."
When the emperor heard this, his face changed drastically. The national treasury had been stolen and the country's finances were in danger. What should he do?
In the court, the ministers were discussing the matter. Someone sighed, "The Great Zhou Palace also suffered such a disaster a few days ago. I never thought that our palace would not be spared."
The other ministers echoed this, they already knew about this and were not too surprised.
When the emperor heard that the Great Zhou Palace had also been robbed, he knew that these thieves were no ordinary people!
"Pass the order down, seal the city gates, and search the entire imperial city to find the thieves in the next few days!"
At this time, a minister said to the people beside him, "I heard that this man robbed the palace of Dayan, the prime minister's residence and the residences of several ministers."
The minister next to him replied, "It won't be us next time, I have to go back and hide the things."
The other ministers also looked worried! They didn't know if they were the target!
After the morning court session, these ministers quickly returned to their houses and hid all the valuables! The dignitaries in the entire Western Region Imperial City were dressed as commoners!
Those who don’t know might think that the Western Regions are so poor that even these ministers can’t afford to wear silk and satin!
Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya stepped out of the space, quickly folded up the tent, and while packing their bags, they quietly discussed how to operate the plane.
Time flows in their busy figures, as if it is just a moment.
The tents have been properly packed up and all the belongings have been arranged in an orderly manner.
The third prince has not come to see Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya these days because his father has given him an edict these days, asking him to take action against Gu Yuchen!
Perhaps this is the reason why Emperor Yuan Jin agreed to the third prince's request and let him come to Haozhou!
The third prince didn't want to get close to Gu Yuchen and the others these days, and he also didn't want to harm Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya!
Lin Jingyuan hasn't had time to tell Lin Qingya about Liu Yuhan these two days!
However, when the urgency of time came like a tide, he could no longer hold back and decided to tell this shocking secret.
So, he came to find Lin Qingya and Gu Yuchen today. He did not hide it from Gu Yuchen, but told them Liu Yuhan's conspiracy frankly.
After hearing this, the two couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, as if they were in an icy abyss.
Lin Qingya's legs seemed to have lost their support. She couldn't imagine that the poisonous insect had been wreaking havoc in her body during those days.
The fear it brought her was like being in a snake den, terrifying.
However, what confused her even more was that she was able to break free from the control of the insect, and the reason behind this was puzzling to her.
Gu Yuchen was equally confused. They looked at each other, their eyes full of puzzlement and doubt.
At this moment full of mysteries, they could only put aside their confusion for the time being.
Instead, they discussed the true intentions of Liu Yuhan and others, as well as the identity and origin of the mysterious force behind them.
At this time, Liu Shun loudly called out to everyone to set off.
The Ruan family looked a little listless at the moment because they had eaten little last night and this morning.
Although the road was winding, the team was not moving slowly.
The sun gradually rose higher, and when it was almost noon, Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya both noticed a group of refugees appearing ahead.
This group was obviously a family that was fleeing together. Some of them were in a group of a few people, and some were in a group of more than ten people.
Everyone was carrying heavy bags, and they looked pale and thin, obviously malnourished.
Lin Qingya silently estimated in her mind that there were probably thousands of people fleeing famine.
When they saw Gu Yuchen, Lin Qingya and others, there was obvious envy and anticipation in their eyes.
Gu Yuchen and the others had rosy complexions, showing no signs of hunger at all.
Although the cart they were pushing was covered, it was not difficult to see that the food on the cart was quite rich.
Despite this, none of these people fleeing famine rushed forward to loot, but just followed from a distance.
He looked at them with expectant eyes, hoping to get some food from Gu Yuchen and the others.
After Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya led the team for a while, Liu Shun asked everyone to stop to rest and have lunch.
In an open space, Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya enjoyed the meal carefully prepared by the maids.
The fleeing groups were not far away, staring at them intently.
Now they couldn't take food out of the space and could only eat the meals prepared by the maids.
The dish for lunch today is big buns stuffed with sauerkraut and oil residue. The sauerkraut was the extra stuff that Lin Qingya took out from when she made buns last time and put it in a jar.
The servants couldn't forget the taste, and when they saw the big buns being served, they all smiled with satisfaction.
Gu Yuchen looked at these big buns and couldn't help but think of the An family.
He asked the maid how many buns were left, and the maid answered truthfully:
"There's still plenty left, enough for everyone to eat for a few meals."
Lin Qingya understood Gu Yuchen's thoughts.
He said to the maid, "Go and get some and deliver them to the Duke Anguo's mansion." The maid took the order and delivered the buns to the An family.
Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya discussed the resettlement of these refugees while eating.
Finally, they decided to let Lin Qingya leave the food with Situ Hao and Chao Jiuli.
They are responsible for resettling these refugees.
The people in the famine-fighting team drooled when they saw the big buns that Gu Yuchen and his group were eating.
They all showed their eager eyes towards the buns. Gu Yuchen saw it, but he knew that now was not the right time.
The Ruan family also saw that the big buns that Gu Yuchen and his friends ate were white and plump.
It looked delicious. They had eaten very little in the past two days, so when they saw the big bun, they looked greedy.
After lunch, everyone rested for a while and prepared to set off again.
At this moment, Gu Yuchen suddenly felt a strong hostile gaze falling on him.
He looked around but didn't see anyone suspicious.
However, this sense of danger became stronger and stronger, making him uneasy.
When the team started marching, Gu Yuchen found that the hostile look seemed to have disappeared.
He thought that maybe it was just his illusion, so he didn't take it to heart.
Gu Yuchen and his group continued to move forward, while the fleeing team followed closely behind.
The sun shines on the earth, and the golden light illuminates the road ahead. Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya walk side by side.
