Chapter 985 A Generation of Geniuses Starved to Death

"My sister is finally back, and I can finally take a rest. I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes. When I was free, I always felt that there was nothing to do at hand, and my heart would be empty. When I’m busy, I can’t wait to slap myself, because the real life is pruning flowers and plants in the conservatory.”

Sitting in the first seat, Xiong Liqing said while skimming off the tea foam with a tea lid.

The people sitting below also laughed together.

The prince is away on an expedition. Although there is Xu Wenzu's support in the west, the real military supplies and civilian husbands are located in the east of Jin. They are the busiest here.

In the past half a year, for this battle between Yan and Chu, the efforts of the big guys are really not inferior to the soldiers fighting in front.

At this time, He Chunlai stood up and said:

"I'm afraid that the princess will have to hold on for a while. The princess is only here to do some handover. Didn't she go back to the commander's camp this morning? The big battle is over, but there are still matters such as the garrison ahead. It's hard to say when the main force will really withdraw.

In addition, rewards are also a very troublesome thing. "

Just like the children in the palace's back house know how to call Siniang "Auntie", the officials in the inner circle of the Wangfu also call Siniang and Xiong Liqing separately, and call Siniang "big concubine".

After all, Xiong Liqing was only in charge for a while, but the entire financial system of Jindong was established by Si Niang herself.

At this point, Xiong Liqing will not eat this kind of vinegar. From the time she started... no, from the time she didn't start, she didn't have the intention to compete with Si Niang for favor.

"Busy and busy." Xiong Liqing put the teacup back on the desk, "In the end, it's the adults who are really busy, and I'm just an auspicious decoration."

"Princess, don't say that, I'm afraid."

"The minister is in fear."

"Okay, just kidding, just kidding, today's review, I have read it all, adults, please distribute it, supervise and implement quickly, and prepare quickly;

Tell your subordinates, I know that everyone is tired, but think about it, the battle is over, the prince will not be far away, it is the time to reward meritorious deeds, you can't make any mistakes at this moment, that's really Panic. "

"The minister waits for orders."

"The minister waits for orders."

Xiong Liqing got up, left the signing room, and went straight back to her yard.

As soon as he came in, he saw his precious daughter walking out with a bulging bag on her back.

Big Girl: "Ugh..."

Xiong Liqing immediately lowered her face;

Immediately afterwards,

His eyes swept over the maids standing around;

To put it bluntly, Xiong Liqing just flirts in front of Zheng, and recognizes a younger sister in front of Si Niang, but she comes from the direct line of the great Chu royal family.

Without any means or courage, how could it be possible to temporarily act in the absence of Fourth Niang, and how could he be able to restrain the gang of bureaucrats under the palace?

No matter how loyal they are, they are loyal to the prince, loyal to the great princess, if an ordinary woman is put on the title of princess, people will really not look at you seriously.

The princess stared,

This aura can actually be felt;

All the maids around knelt down on the ground;

Xiong Liqing once said that if the little princess runs away from home again, all the maids and her family will be executed.

My daughter is a delicate heart,

Whether you are scaring her or not, she can tell;

So she is very good, she knows that her mother can do what she says.

However, she did not feel that her mother was "cruel";

From childhood to adulthood, after witnessing the mother-child interaction between the aunt and brother many times,

She still felt that her mother was already very gentle. Although the aunt had always liked her very much, the eldest girl was still a little afraid of the aunt.

There is nothing wrong with being afraid of the aunt, after all the aunt is the aunt, well, after all, my own mother is also afraid of the aunt.

"Mother, I didn't run away from home, I went to deliver food to brother, brother lives with grandpa now, I'm worried that he won't be used to eating.

Grandpa eats candles and paper money,

I'm afraid my brother will have diarrhea if he eats these. "

"real?"

"Really, I asked the people below, and no one was ordered to deliver food and drink to brother."

Xiong Liqing nodded upon hearing this explanation:

"then you go."

On the day Si Niang came back, she locked the eldest son in a small black room;

On the issue of how to educate the son, Xiong Liqing is inconvenient to talk.

But Xiong Liqing never objected to her daughter getting close to her brothers, of course, this mother-in-law didn't have to worry about it at all, the men at home loved her very much;

Needless to say her father, Tian Tian, ​​​​as the eldest son, has always loved this younger sister very much;

Even the elder son who is a bit withdrawn in temper is much more enthusiastic towards the eldest sister than others;

The prince has always been lukewarm towards his own father, but he will not refuse to play around with the big girl.

The big girl happily went to the rockery in the back house with her small luggage on her back, put down all the food, walked to the big iron gate, patted it, and shouted:

"Brother, brother!"

Inside, no response.

Big girl is a little worried,

took a few steps back,

immediately,

Two-handed sword seal:

"out!"

"Buzz!"

Ryongyeon unsheathed from behind, hovering above the big girl's head.

"prick!"

Long Yuan turned into a stream of light and hit the big iron gate. After a harsh impact, Long Yuan flew back upside down and landed on the ground.

"Hiss...it hurts so much!"

The big girl only felt a sharp pain in the index finger and ring finger of her right hand, and hurriedly put it to her mouth to breathe out.

This big iron gate is solid and has buckle design on all sides. Once it falls, it can be completely closed from the inside.

The mechanism to open the big iron gate is on the other side of the rockery. You can pull out the iron chain and apply a huge force while pulling out the iron chain to open the iron gate again, but the big girl doesn't know this.

She tried to use Longyuan to split the iron gate, but it was in vain, unless she could have the realm of her master.

After appeasing the pain in her fingers, the big girl came to the iron gate again, and found that she had dug a fingernail-sized hole in the iron gate with her previous sword. It was not without effect, but it was equivalent to no effect.

The big girl could only get down on the ground, trying to shout through the tiny gap below:

"Brother, brother!"

However, there was still no response.

The big girl got up, clapped her hands and her pant legs, and shouted to the other side:

"Big snake, big snake!"

With two shouts, the green python swam over. It had lived in the palace for many years, and it didn't come out very often on weekdays, but the servants in the palace had become accustomed to moving occasionally.

Qing Mang raised his head and looked at Da Niu;

It is Xiong Liqing's monster, so it will naturally be closer to the big girl.

The big girl pointed to the iron gate:

"Big snake, knock it open."

"..." Qing Mang.

"Be obedient, big snake, you can do it."

"obedient!"

Big girl is angry.

There was a hint of sadness in the green python's snake eyes, and then, his body quickly slammed into the iron gate.

"boom!"

Qing Mang raised his head, swayed his body, and went straight down.

...

"There is movement!"

"Pooh!"

Zheng Lin spit out the wax block that he had gnawed in his mouth earlier, turned over quickly, and came behind the iron gate.

It has to be said that the impact of the green python is still more effective than the big girl's sword. Although it still has no effect on the actual existence of the iron gate, at least it can be sensed inside.

"Who is outside, who is outside!"

Zheng Lin shouted.

...

Looking at the green python that was almost fainted outside, Da Niu no longer forced it, and could only sit back in front of the iron gate again.

Cross one's legs,

luck,

The sword intent began to condense,

close your eyes

sword moves forward;

On the other side of the thick iron gate, Zheng Lin found a condensed sword energy in his line of sight.

"Sister, sister!"

Zheng Lin was agitated, he immediately sat down cross-legged, and made the same seal.

After a while, the big girl sitting outside saw a sword aura appearing in front of her.

After the big girl knew that this method was effective, she immediately manipulated her sword energy and wrote on the opposite side:

"younger brother……"

Zheng Lin also controlled the sword energy and wrote on the ground outside:

"Hungry……"

Concise and concise.

The big girl showed a look of joy, and immediately stopped pinching, and the sword energy on the opposite side dispersed;

She opened her small bag full of snacks, and there were a lot of delicious food in it, but she was very excited and soon realized another problem;

This iron gate can even cut off the sound... How can I give the food I brought to brother?

The big girl will print again immediately,

Write three words on the opposite side:

"I can't send it in..."

Zheng Lin responded very simply:

"Calling people..."

"Who are you calling..."

"My mother..."

There was no overnight feud between mother and son. Although his own mother locked him in and beat him up before he was locked in, Zheng Lin really didn't hold any grudges against Si Niang.

"Ma'am is gone..."

See this line of words,

Zheng Lin's eyes widened, and he was somewhat, of course, shocked;

Shocked that his own mother locked up her son like this, and went back to the front line to find his father. She didn't even have time to see her son before she left;

It's a matter of course... This is indeed something my own mother can do.

Which one is more important in my mother's heart, me or my father, I can think clearly with my toes, it must be my father.

Zheng Lin also understood that it was precisely because he had a bad relationship with his father that he even made his own mother hate him.

The ethical relationship in other people's family is reversed in our own family;

At this time, beads of sweat were already forming on the big girl's forehead, and it was very tiring to manipulate the sword energy to write in the air;

It's a pity that the Juggernaut is not at home. If he saw this scene here, he might feel that the two apprentices practiced sword qi manipulation like this, which is really gratifying.

"Brother, I'm going to call someone..."

Zheng Lin saw this line of writing,

Responded:

"good……"

As if to add an urgent tone, he added the word 'hungry' after 'good'.

The big girl stood up, staggered, a little bit out of strength, but still ran away quickly.

...

Zheng Lin leaned against the big iron gate, picked up the candle again, took a bite, chewed twice, and then spit it out.

God sees you as a pity,

If he were to be exiled to the wilderness, or even to a dangerous place like Daze, where monsters and beasts roam, he would think that he would be able to live a good and unrestrained life, but in this place, he has nothing to do with it.

at this time,

A voice suddenly sounded from Zheng Lin's ear:

"Are you hungry... I have something delicious here."

Shatuo Queshi, who was sitting in the coffin, turned his head, looked at the deep place, and then let out a roar.

Zheng Lin's face showed fascination,

muttered:

"Really... I'm so hungry..."

"Yes... I have the sweetest food in the world... if you come here..."

"Will you give it to me?"

"Yes... I can give you everything..."

"It's so kind of you……"

"of course, I……"

"What an idiot."

The fascination on Zheng Lin's face immediately disappeared, revealing indifference and disdain,

then stood up,

shouted into it:

"Master, I'm so hungry that I'm eating candles now. I don't have time to play seduce you here. Shut up, idiot!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Below, there was a tremor, and the black-armored man in the depths of the iron cage clenched the iron chain tightly with both arms, and he was angry.

"I don't even know how to lie. I deserve to be locked up here by my useless father. Why, you want to seduce me and let you out, dreaming!"

Zheng Lin sat down again, picked up the candle, and took another bite like a ruthless one.

"Ho ho..."

Sha Tuo Que Shi lay back in the coffin again.

...

"My sister locked him in. It's really not easy for me to let him go. You know, my sister educates the children, but we don't have the right to talk too much. In addition, our Royal Highness is not an ordinary child."

"But……"

"Don't worry, the big girl just went to deliver food to him. It's okay for her to deliver Xiaozao. Brother and sister are very affectionate. Even if my sister knows about it, she won't say anything."

"That's good, that's good." Princess Fu patted her chest.

In the palace, there are only four people who sleep next to the serious prince;

One Si Niang, one Xiong Liqing, another Liu Ruqing, and one... Princess Fu.

Prince Fu's Mansion has a mansion in Fengxin City, but Princess Fu has always lived in the Prince Regent's Mansion.

Among the four women, who cares most about His Royal Highness, it is naturally Princess Fu, because Si Niang left the child in her care early on.

Originally, the eldest son was locked up, and everyone had nothing to say, but as soon as Si Niang left, Princess Fu came to Xiong Liqing to intercede.

At this time, the big girl ran back.

Xiong Liqing saw that her daughter was fine when she went out, but her gait was a little unsteady when she came back, so she immediately asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Mother, auntie, brother is going to starve to death inside!"

...

"Can't open it?"

"Yes, if you go back to the princess, this iron gate is restricted, and it is surrounded by the surrounding environment, and the subordinates and others cannot open it."

"How can it be!"

Xiong Liqing looked solemnly at the big iron gate in front of her, surrounded by a group of palace guards standing with torches.

"My concubine doesn't know. Only the gentlemen of the palace know how to lift the restrictions here. Although I have been working in the palace for many years, I don't usually involve this place. This is the forbidden area of ​​the palace.

But right now, the gentlemen are not in the palace, so..."

The leader of the guard was retired from the former Jinyi personal guard, and he is also an old man.

But even him, there is nothing he can do about this dungeon.

After all, since the demon kings dared to imprison Hei Jia at home, they would naturally arrange a lot of heavy defenses in advance.

Xiong Liqing took a deep breath,

road:

"Then send the inspector of the city to come over. If it's not enough, send troops from the city defense to dig it up, and dig it up for me too!"

"Here!"

It's true that the big iron gate can't be opened, but forcibly digging it up from all around can still open the situation, as long as there are enough people.

From Xiong Liqing's point of view, she couldn't say how Si Niang educated her children, but it was even more impossible for her to watch His Royal Highness starve to death in the palace!

What is this called?

The dignified eldest son of the regent family of Dayan, in Dayan, the most noble existence of the second generation who can almost sit on an equal footing with the prince of Yan, with a talent for cultivation visible to the naked eye, a generation of eagles,

Just died of starvation?

"Sister, sister, you don't have to ignore your son like this, do you?"

Xiong Liqing was a little scared. If it wasn't for the big girl who found out early, when the prince and sister came back, they might see a starved mummy, right?

The big girl, who had rested for a while, hurriedly sat down in front of the big iron gate, pinched the seal to get the sword energy:

"Don't panic...let's dig it up..."

When Zheng Lin behind the big iron gate saw this line of writing, he thought it was normal at first, but then he finally realized what the people outside were planning to do.

immediately responded;

"Can't dig..."

The big girl blinked and looked at the line seriously.

Soon, the second line appeared:

"Don't dig..."

It's okay to open the iron door and let yourself out;

But if you really want to dig yourself out, the black armored man who is suppressing below will break out of the seal.

"Mother, brother said, you can't dig." The eldest girl immediately told her mother.

"What?" Xiong Liqing frowned.

During the holidays, she would go with Siniang to burn incense on the Shatuo Que Stone, so she vaguely knew that there was actually another door further down.

She seldom asked about these things before, but she can probably guess that besides Sha Tuo Que Shi, there should be another existence inside, and Sha Tuo Que Shi is more like... a guard.

I was so anxious and ignored this point before, but now after this reminder, there is an impression in my mind immediately.

Zheng Lin wrote:

"Grandpa has tributes to eat here... I won't die from starvation..."

"Mother, Brother said that Grandpa has tributes to eat."

Xiong Liqing raised her hand and ordered:

"In addition to the group of people sent out to chase after the princess, another group of people will be sent to the front line to report to the prince, hurry up!

here,

No digging for now. "

"Here!"

Xiong Liqing looked at her daughter and instructed:

"You set up a small tent here, sleep here, and talk to your brother every half day."

"Understood, mother."

...

Behind the big iron gate,

Zheng Lin wiped his mouth,

Covering his stomach with one hand and supporting the coffin lid with the other,

road:

"Grandpa, I'm so hungry."

The coffin didn't respond.

"You are not in a hurry at all. There must be a way to prevent me from starving to death, right?"

A mass of strong and pure evil spirit slowly emerged from the coffin, floating in front of Zheng Lin.

Seeing this evil spirit,

Zheng Lin immediately understood the meaning,

With a bitter face, he said:

"Grandpa, I'm not Brother Mowan, I have to eat, this thing doesn't make you hungry."

The coffin didn't respond, and the evil spirit dissipated a little.

Zheng Lin gritted his teeth, opened his mouth, and sucked the cloud of evil energy into his mouth.

next moment,

His body turned purple,

The whole person was prostrate on the ground in pain, convulsing crazily, like a leech stimulated by salt water.

But he was stubborn, he kept clenching his teeth, he didn't cry out the pain, but his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

After a while,

The pain was suppressed,

Zheng Lin was lying face up on the ground with his limbs spread out. This pain was even more outrageous than his own mother's pricking with needles.

But after the pain,

yes:

"Hic..."
