Eastward Flow

The emperor's car came from Yuanzhou, but it will arrive in Yunzhou in half a month.

They had already found the prince, but facing a prince who was unwilling to take on his identity, Le Zhengying was still very worried about her friend.

For several days in a row, Xuan Jingchen went to invite Zhong Lisuo to return to the court many times, but all of them returned without success.

Facing such a prince, how could Xuan Jingchen turn to the emperor.Le Zhengying knew that before the emperor arrived in Yunzhou, they had to let Zhong Lisuo put on the uniform that had been prepared long ago.

For the sake of his friends, Le Zhengying urged Xuan Jingchen to go to the temple to invite the great god every day.

In this regard, Zhong Lisuo adopted the strategy of using soldiers to block the water and cover it with earth, and refused to treat him coldly for several days in a row. During this day, Zhong Lisuo never saw him again during the day.

But I never thought that Xuan Jingchen would still come at night.

The plague in Yunzhou has been raging for more than a month, and today another group can't survive it and go to Guixu.Zhong Lisuo followed the members of the Taiyi Sect to the river to see off the dead, and returned to the temple only after night fell.

This time the plague was raging, and most of Yunzhou City were people who had just returned to their homes and soldiers who helped rebuild.Those who were infected with the plague were driven to the corner of the city to be healed.

In this ruined temple, there are mostly wounded and sick people infected with the plague.

Since Zhong Lisuo escaped from the minions of the King of Zhongzhou, he was sheltered by the Taiyi Temple in Yunzhou City. In this troubled world, as the doctors of the Taiyi Temple treated the people on the street, he gradually became an ordinary Taiyi Temple member.

But that day when Xuan Jingchen knelt down in front of the temple, the normality she had whitewashed was completely revealed.Even though she resisted and refused to admit it, the patients and Taoists who were watching Chinese medicine looked at her with vague respect.

She was even more afraid because of the soldiers Xuan Jingchen arranged here to guard her.

Zhong Lisuo always thought that when she arrived in Yunzhou at the age of eight, her life began.She never thought that there would be a day when she could return to Yuanzhou, just like she never thought that the King of Zhongzhou would turn against him and strip off the colorful coat called Shengshi that covered Chu State.

This singing, dancing, joyous state of Chu has changed since one day.

The incense of Taiyimen became more and more prosperous, Shengjing became more and more prosperous, and the city of Yunzhou was full of joyful songs.But after escaping from the luxurious city, what she saw was depression.

The land is barren, the houses are collapsed, and the faces of the people are numb. Only when they face the gods can they have some color.

14-year-old Zhong Lisuo has been living in a powerful Chu state. After he was 14 years old, Zhong Lisuo didn't know such a disguised dream in the state of Chu.

She heard people say that officials, gentry and local tyrants oppressed the common people. She heard people said that people could buy officials with money. She heard people said that a few years ago, because the imperial court could not provide money and food, all the school buildings in the town were closed.

All of this is because of the order of the chief minister around the emperor.Instead of thinking about the people, they sacrificed wantonly every day, prayed to the gods, and spent money like water.

Therefore, the king of Zhongzhou rebelled.

Before the rebellion of the king of Zhongzhou, the common people could still live on an acre of land.After the king of Zhongzhou rebelled, no one could support such a barren land.

Therefore, after the king of Zhongzhou rebelled, many young and strong men and women were expropriated in the three states he occupied, and the taxes were increased, making the people's livelihood more and more difficult.

This is a troubled world, and the people suffering are the people below.The top is beating you to death, so no one cares about the life and death of the people below.

Every time he fights against the world, Taiyiguan always has to go down the mountain to see off the people who died in vain. Zhong Lisuo has sent off a lot, and the more he realizes how helpless it is to struggle to live.

Mourn how difficult people's lives are.

Life without a little respite and color is so hopeless.

In such a world, death is a relief.

But people still have dreams.

Life is the gift of the Eastern Emperor, no one is born to suffer, but the world is so difficult and dangerous, how can he live happily?

Zhong Lisuo thought of what his mother said more than once, as a human being, one should live with dignity.This dignity includes living freely in this world and leaving this world with dignity.

But think about the people who died in front of her, which one is decent enough?

She is a member of the royal family of the Chu Kingdom, a descendant of the Eastern Emperor, and all people in this world are her compatriots.But you see, even if she has been on the streets for two years, she has suffered nothing at all.

But her compatriots are living in dire straits.

This world is clearly everyone's world, why are their situations so different.Just because of her princes and nobles, are they just young grass?

It is clear that the world is not benevolent and treats everything as a straw dog.

The government of Chu State was in chaos, the superiors were unclear, and the subordinates oppressed the common people.Zhong Lisuo knew that as a prince, he would return to Yuanzhou City as long as he was alive.But when she returned to Yuanzhou City, what should she do?

Will the state of Chu, whose foundation has been corrupted, get better with her own efforts?

Should I bury my head in the streets and be an ordinary person who doesn't hear anything, or should I return to Yuanzhou and use my hands to uproot the rotten roots?

Zhong Lisuo struggled with this choice for a long time.

She is a prince who has not received an orthodox education and knows nothing about the chaotic court.She is still a cowardly person, full of worries about the slim future.

After the emperor ordered her to be crown prince, she knew that she would be found one day.But until he met Xuan Jingchen, Zhong Lisuo still had no choice.

On this day, Xuan Jingchen did not come to look for her.Zhong Lisuo, who had been troubled for several days, could finally make a good choice.

It was a moonless night, and dim lights were lit in the temple full of people.The chirping of insects in summer and the coughing and moaning of the patients were brought together, creating another kind of peace in Ye Ye's heart.

Zhong Lisuo sat in front of the temple, with his back facing the dim lights in the temple, and looked at the dark main hall in front of the temple with his cheeks on his hands.

She can't run away, Zhong Lisuo thought.

There is no face to escape, because this is the responsibility she should bear.

Zhong lisuo cited two conditions to convince himself.So she got up, clapped her hands, and was going to go back to sleep and take her jade pendant to recognize her ancestors tomorrow.

The moment he turned around, the quiet sound of horseshoes reached his ears from far and near.Zhong Lishuo's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around to see a line of bright lights appearing in front of him.

After a while, a horse broke into the eyes.

Zhong Lisuo raised his eyes and saw Xuan Jingchen who was sitting right away.

Xuan Jingchen still came today, which surprised Zhong Lisuo.Before the other party could speak, Zhong Lisuo said before the other party dismounted and saluted: "Please wait for me, general."

She did not salute Xuan Jingchen as usual.Xuan Jingchen stood beside the horse, wearing the clean clothes he had just changed into, made a promise, and waited quietly for Zhong Lisuo's return.

After a while, Zhong Lisuo came out with a bag on his back.

With her back to the light, she walked up to Xuan Jingchen step by step, stood still, spread her palms, and said, "Although the general is sure, Shuo doesn't want the general to have any doubts. This is Shuo's sapphire... "

Before he finished speaking, a pain surged from his heart to his head, Zhong Lisuo staggered, his eyes darkened, and he fell down.

With a bang, the sapphire fell to the ground.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Xuan Jingchen took Zhong Lisuo into his arms, his face changed drastically.

Zhong Lisuo fainted in front of the temple, Xuan Jingchen called the doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and got a diagnosis caused by overwork.

Thinking about what Zhong Lisuo said to her earlier, and considering the environment here, Xuan Jingchen brought the prince back to Yunzhou City.

Thus, the prince who was living on the street was finally found.

The next day, Zhong Lisuo woke up leisurely, knowing that he had committed his old problem again.Looking at the strange place in front of her, she knew that she had arrived at Xuan Jingchen's place.

Zhong Lisuo sat in the tent and woke up for a long time before calling the maid.

After being waited on for a long time and dressed neatly, Zhong Lisuo rubbed his pale face to a tinge of blood, waiting for Xuan Jingchen to arrive.

Sure enough, after a while, Xuan Jingchen in silver armor came to greet him: "Yesterday, His Highness was unwell and passed out. The humble servant Chao Yue brought His Highness back."

Zhong Lisuo bowed his hands and saluted, "Thank you General for your help, Shuo is very grateful. I don't know if the General has eaten, so stay and have a meal with Shuo."

Her eyes were earnest, and Xuan Jingchen understood that she might want to stay.Without any doubts, Xuan Jingchen complied.

After the two had breakfast together, Zhong Lisuo coughed lightly and said, "I don't know if the general will be free today, but Shuo has something to ask the general for advice."

"Your Highness, it's all right." Xuan Jingchen sat in front of Zhong Lisuo, looking at this young and beautiful monarch wrapped in brocade clothes, with a serious expression on his face.

Zhong Lisuo raised his spirits and said: "It is said that His Majesty will go south to Yunzhou, and he will arrive within half a month. I left home when I was young, and many personnel and affairs in Yuanzhou City are not clear. I wonder if the general can tell me about the accompanying officials. "

If she wants to go back to Yuanzhou and plan something, she must know enough about the personnel there.

What's more, the great general in front of her who is sitting on the world's soldiers and horses is also the one she should win over.

Xuan Jingchen was startled, and immediately reflected Zhong Lisuo's real purpose.Although I don't know why this seemingly indifferent His Royal Highness finally wanted to return to the vortex of power overnight, Xuan Jingchen still answered Zhong Lisuo's doubts one by one.

Because Xuan Jingchen still had important matters to do, Zhong Lisuo agreed with her to bother her after dinner every day.After seeing off Xuan Jingchen, the gentleman who came to take Zhonglisuo's pulse arrived again.

Seeing Qinglan again, Zhonglisuo had a rare joyful smile on his face.

"I told the young master that we will meet again if we are destined. Don't you think this fate will come?" Qing Lan smiled and motioned Zhong Lisuo to stretch out her hand, and put three fingers on her pulse.

"I thought I would only meet you in the Kingdom of God in the future, but I never thought that you would be in General Xuan's tent." Zhong Lisuo withdrew his hand under Qing Lan's signal, and said, "Mr. I was lost for a while. Mister is an outsider, but I never thought that the commander who assisted the general in recent years is Mister."

"Mr. I don't know, but you're back in Tianjian Division?"

Qing Lan smiled slightly, and replied: "Yes, for His Highness, Taoist Supervisor Tiansi is on duty again."

"Oh?" Zhong Lisuo was surprised, and said, "Why do you say it's for me?"

Qing Lan laughed, "Because His Highness is back, this makes me curious. I'm also curious, what will His Highness's state of Chu look like?"

"I don't want to be the chief commander of Tiansi. If His Highness is the emperor in the future, I'm interested in being the chief commander of the world."

She smiled and said softly: "Didn't I tell His Highness a long time ago, His Highness is a child who will return to the Kingdom of God."

As soon as the words fell, Zhong Lisuo understood that she probably had the first help in the court.
