Chapter 1046 1046: Returning rich and honorable [please vote](2/2)
There are many interesting places in Fugu City, and the two of them traveled together. In the evening, an episode occurred. Most of the makeup that Mei Meng used to cover up faded away, revealing those traces. Cui Hui originally thought that Mei Meng was injured and wanted to give him some help.
She buys ointment.
Until Mei Meng took the gauze shawl.
He said calmly: "No need."
Cui Hui was worried: "Someone hurt you?"
It's no wonder that she didn't think about that aspect for a while. She remembered that Mei Meng had many suitors around her, but she didn't settle for anyone and seemed to be alone all the time. Cui Hui and her ex-husband had always been on the right track, which was rarely the case.
Out of control.
Mei Meng smiled meaningfully: "The dog chewed it."
Cui Hui: "..."
She understood immediately.
After that, they ate and lived together for two days in a row.
When I went out on the third day, I found that the atmosphere in the city was not right. Colorful ribbons were hung all over the streets. It looked festive but no one was around. All the shops in the market were closed. Cui Hui finally found one that was open. The shopkeeper still had silver hair.
old woman.
"What kind of big day is today?"
Cui Hui couldn't help but be curious.
"Why is there no one on the street?"
A smile broke out on the old woman's wrinkled face, and she squeezed the wrinkles deeper. Her eyes were astonishingly bright: "The girl's accent doesn't sound like a local? No wonder she didn't know. Yesterday, the government posted a notice saying that the Lord has returned with Master Wang.
When the villagers heard the news, they went to greet her all night. Alas, if the old woman hadn't been unable to walk too far, she would have gone to greet her..."
Only when Cui Hui heard this did he know what had happened.
She was shocked when she thought of the almost empty Fugu City.
You must know that Fugu City is the most populous city in Heyin County. Although a large number of old and weak people were transferred in advance due to the impact of the war in the past few months, there are still more than 100,000 people left! So many people actually went to welcome them. What a terrifying human heart?
The old woman smiled and asked, "My lady, do you want to go and have a look?"
Cui Huidao: "It's too late to go there now."
She had met Shen Tang and was not interested in him.
However, the old woman obviously didn't understand her face, and kept talking about how Shen Tang loved the people like a son, and the interesting things about when she was the county guard in Heyin County. These trivial matters ranged from an eighty-year-old woman to a three-year-old woman in Heyin County. A child as young as 20 years old can speak a few paragraphs.
Cui Hui listened to it more than ten times in the past two days.
In order to catch up with the popularity of the king, Heyin County imitated Longwu County and built many scenic spots, and there were special guides to explain them. Cui Hui and Mei Meng visited these in the past two days, and they knew it by heart.
She couldn't resist the old woman's warm invitation.
He caught a carriage and went to the place mentioned by the old woman.
Mei Meng rode in a carriage, and she drove the horse.
Twenty miles away from their destination, they saw a crowd of people. Not to mention letting the carriage pass, even the two of them couldn't squeeze through. Some people simply climbed up the nearby hillside. Cui Hui was the first person in his life to get through. This is the first time I’ve seen what “a huge crowd of people” means.
"With so many people, I'm afraid we can only see them on the battlefield."
Cui Hui wanted to go home.
Mei Meng directly carried her up to the branch.
Cui Hui hugged the tree trunk tightly: "...Isn't this inappropriate?"
The king's greatest fear when traveling is ambushes and assassinations.
Under normal circumstances, the roads would have to be cleared, and the nearby bushes and trees where they could hide would have to be cut down. It would be better for them to just climb the trees, and they wouldn't be afraid of being caught by Shen Tang's guards as if they were enemies?
Mei Mengdao: "No less than the two of us."
Cui Hui looked around and shut up.
There is indeed no shortage of these two to do this.
The nearby trees that could hide people were all squatting with living people. Cui Hui also heard a vendor bargaining with people. The vendor said: "This location is for this price. I only grabbed it seven hours in advance. Don't buy it." , there are many people who want to buy it.”
"It's too expensive..."
"Is it expensive? How expensive is it? Do you know that this is the first time that the Lord has come back after being reassigned to Longwu? If it weren't for your sincerity, I wouldn't want to sell my position. Go, go, I won't sell it!"
The buyer finally bit the bullet and bought the location.
This branch is thicker and straighter than anywhere else, and the view is better.
Well worth the price.
Cui Hui: "..."
Waiting is very difficult.
Not to mention squatting in a tree waiting for someone.
When people have free time, they like to talk about family affairs, and the center of the topic is Shen Youli. Cui Hui was not interested at first, but he would smile after hearing more: "This Lord Shen is really a wonderful person, but... Isn't she worried about assassination? A gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall. With so many people gathered here, a mixture of good and bad, wouldn't it damage the reputation if some bad guys take the opportunity to cause trouble? "
The second most important thing is that it will damage your reputation, but you are also afraid of endangering your life.
In the past, ordinary people were taken into consideration when fighting wars.
Warlords fight their own wars, and ordinary people live their own lives.
However, since a scholar from a country brought out the "White Clothes Crossing the River" Yan Ling from the Holy Land of Mountains and Seas, and used this Yan Ling army to kill neighboring countries, everyone everywhere has heightened their vigilance. Ordinary people who are suspected will be killed if caught.
, without asking the other party’s origin at all.
They should all be treated as the enemy's eyes, ears and spies.
From then on, fighting and killing ordinary people became the norm.
Gao Guo and Kang Guo are still at odds. If we hold a crowded event at this time, we are not afraid that Gao Guo will take the opportunity to send dead soldiers to cause trouble?
A panicked crowd can easily lead to a stampede.
Mei Meng raised her hand and pointed to the four corners in the distance.
Said: "But this is also a good opportunity to catch the traitor."
The methods of literary scholars are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Just as he was talking, a commotion broke out in the crowd in the distance. Tens of thousands of people shouted incessantly. The sound was like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. It fell on Cui Hui's ears and aroused goosebumps: "Long live my king!"
In the distance, a black cloud of flags appeared.
The sound seemed to be contagious and spread everywhere.
Cui Hui heard someone shouting from a nearby tree: "Long live my king! Long live my king! Long live my king!"
Some people were so excited that the branches of trees under their feet were broken.
Fortunately, I wasn't standing too high, so I didn't fall.
Cui Hui grabbed the rough bark and opened his mouth.
It's hard not to be infected in such an atmosphere.
However, she was still reserved and only responded in a low voice, so she didn't see Mei Meng beside her, who was frowning and full of worries.
Such public sentiment is rare in the world.
If I don’t give a blow, I’m afraid——
Mei Meng's eyes darkened, thinking about something.
Only then did she understand why Qi Cang said Shen Youli was scary.
Mei Meng initially thought that Qi Cang was afraid of Shen Tang's strength.
Qi Cang said: [Huh, what's there to be afraid of just having strength? As long as you give out enough treasure, you can bribe the world's top bravest warriors to serve you, but these bribes cannot win people's hearts. Even Zheng Qiao is afraid of her buying people's hearts.
What do you think?]
Mei Meng looked at the crowd.
Chew the word "human heart" carefully in my heart.
In the end, it all turned into a sigh.
Who doesn’t know how to win people’s hearts?
But people's hearts are not easy to buy. Qi State was originally a small country in the southwest continent. In recent years, it has taken advantage of the war to rise, annexing neighboring countries, and strengthening itself step by step. Expansion and internal security cannot be achieved at the same time, and internal security cannot be maintained. How to buy it?
Human heart?
