I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 87 The Yungang Village in Fenyang
Luo Qianhuai thought for a while and then asked: "But if it's like you said, King Fenyang acted like this, why can the current emperor tolerate him for so long? Could it be that he deceived the superiors and concealed it, so the superiors didn't know about it at all? "

"Haha." Yu Chu laughed in a low voice: "Don't you know, Mrs. Luo, that in the fiefdoms of the princes and kings of Dayu, everyone from the state ministers to the chief ministers to the guards has your majesty's eyes and ears. What kind of person Yu Shou is, your majesty has already You know everything, but you still agree that he will inherit the throne, and why?"

Luo Qianhuai was a scholar in his previous life, and he was also very interested in national history and literature. He had actually read a lot of history books. After hearing this and thinking for a moment, he made a guess: "You mean that His Majesty wants to let him do whatever he wants. Until you have committed many injustices and then kill them easily?"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Mo chuckled and said, "Mrs. Luo may have some misunderstanding about this person. He is not afraid of the stupid princes and kings. As long as they keep to themselves and don't feel rebellious, he doesn't bother to pay attention to them at all."

"But do the people of Fenyang deserve to suffer?" Luo Qianwei asked in shock.

"I became the crown prince at the age of seven and ascended the throne at the age of 16. I have never left Xijing. How can I care about the lives of those common people?" Mr. Mo said calmly: "What's more, they have been sealed to Fen. King Yang, honor, disgrace, and life are all in his hands, so what does that have to do with His Majesty?"

"But they are also the people of Dayu, and they regard Your Majesty as their king and father!"

"So what?" Mr. Mo lowered his eyes: "Your Majesty's heart is too big, and there are too many things to hold."

Luo Qianhuai was silent, turning to look at the thin and numb people outside the window, feeling sad.

"But don't worry." Mr. Mo spoke again: "What I said before is that ordinary people will not accept these refugees."

"But your governor of Xinzhou is not an ordinary person."

Luo Qianhuai suddenly raised his head: "What do you mean?"

"He comes from a famous family, and his father is highly valued by His Majesty. Even Xinzhou Mu has to give him some face. Therefore, with this confidence, all the refugees who fled from Fenyang will stay."

Born into a noble family, yet not afraid of power but caring about the people?What an official!

"What's his name?" Luo Qianhuai's eyes sparkled.

Her expression made Mr. Mo feel inexplicably uncomfortable.But strictly speaking, this Xinzhou governor had some connections with him, and he himself had always admired him very much, so he suppressed his unhappiness:
"Huo Yu." He said the name: "Huo Yu, the eldest son of Captain Fengche and Doctor Guang Huo Xuan."

Luo Qianhuai didn't know much about Dayu's official position, and he had never heard of Huo Xuan.She silently wrote down the name Huo Yu, and felt relieved thinking that the displaced people in front of her could be accommodated by this good official.

It was almost dark at this time, and there were only five or six miles left to the Yungang Village. The motorcade was moving forward in an orderly manner, when it suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, and it was in front of them in an instant.

"My lord, Wei Zhi who went to explore the road is back." Wei Cang reported with a serious face: "There is something wrong over there in Yungang Village."

The car stopped.Mr. Mo stood up and got out of the car. It took a while before he got back in. His face looked a little unhappy.

As the car continued to move forward, Luo Qianhuai looked at Mr. Mo who was silent and couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

"Yungang Village is gone." His voice was a little heavy.

"What's gone?" Luo Qianhuai couldn't believe it.He told her his decision without further explanation: "We must speed up and leave Fenyang immediately."

Yungang Village.A group of soldiers held torches and under the instruction of a strong general, checked house by house. They dragged the corpses one by one to the open space in the center of the village, piled them with dry firewood, poured kerosene on them, and started. Raise fire.

The blazing flames covered all sins under the scorching heat and turned them into silent ashes.

Suddenly, a soldier ran over in panic: "Lieutenant Chen, something serious has happened! We saw horse hoof prints and fresh horse manure at the west exit of the village - someone must have been here and saw it. The scene where we silenced ourselves”

"Why are you panicking?" Lieutenant Chen glared at him fiercely: "It's easy to come here in Fenyang, but if you want to leave so easily, you can't help them!"

The carriages and horses galloped forward at full speed.The roads in Fenyang were not as smooth as those in Xinzhou, so the increased speed immediately threw Luo Qianhuai into a tailspin.

After driving for a long time without any effort, they were about to rush out of Fenyang, but they were stopped head-on.

More than 200 people were holding open fire, wearing the standard uniforms of the royal guards, and lined up neatly. In the front row were heavy shields and gunmen, and in the back were archers, with cold blades, and they were ready for battle.

The carriage stopped. Wei Cang got Master Mo's order and was about to step forward to negotiate. Unexpectedly, the strong general at the head didn't say a word. He dropped his hand heavily, and arrows rained down immediately.

"Charge over." Mr. Mo commanded in a deep voice without any fear.

The sound of jingling arrows being blocked came like raindrops, and there were also exclamations and screams coming from all directions. However, he sat as steady as a mountain, and he even opened the drawer next to the couch and opened it from inside. He took out the golden fox mask and put it on Luo Qianhuai's face.

"No need to worry." He glanced at Luo Qianhuai's suddenly white face and comforted him.

Luo Qianhuai was indeed a little surprised.In front of you was the official armed force of a vassal state. Why did you start a fight with Mr. Mo without saying a word?Is it possible that the gang leader in front of me is actually a notorious wanted criminal?
Thinking about the armed forces he trained in the valley and the previous massacre of the Dongjiazhuang family, this possibility is really not small.

So, is it possible that she might actually be regarded as this person's accomplice today and be wanted to kill her?The only conscientious thing he did was to take out the mask in time to protect his face
Her uneasiness all fell into Mr. Mo's eyes.He smiled lightly, and held hers with a slender jade hand.

"Don't worry, I will protect you." In the dark carriage, Mr. Mo's eyes were as dark and bright as stars.

This hand was warm and dry, the inside of the palm was slightly calloused, and the nails were neatly trimmed. It was the most beautiful hand Luo Qianhuai had ever seen.

Well, the touch was just as good, making her forget to pull her hand back in time.

Just at this moment, several exclamations rang out from outside the carriage: "Master, be careful!"

Accompanying this exclamation was a sharp and harsh sound of breaking wind.

Before Luo Qianhuai could react, Mr. Mo had already taken her into his arms, and at the same time, he quickly turned 180 degrees, holding her directly with her back to the car door, where the breaking wind was pointing.
