Zhong Yan was shocked, but he met Ah Mi's fake smile.
She felt very awkward and even a moment of shame.
"The soldiers actually stole your food?”" You're so far away, yet they're still here to snatch things. What about the people who are affected by the disaster? Do they have nothing to eat?"”
"What are the commoners?" A man in the corner asked disdainfully.
Zhong Yan replied," The people are the parents of the officials. They are the foundation of the country. Without the people, how can we talk about the country?"”
Everyone looked at the little girl's comical appearance and smiled indifferently.
Zhong Yan also lost her temper and said loudly,""Are you really not going to resist? Are you going to sit still and wait for them to snatch your things?”
Ami's expression immediately turned cold as she asked,""I, the princess of Li Kingdom, actually let us commoners deal with the government by ourselves, and not you guys come forward to guarantee our safety? Now you still want to ask us why we didn't protect ourselves? Don't you know that the state officials are allowed to set fires and the common people are not allowed to light lamps? They were using weapons to fight and kill, even attacking us. It could be considered as defending the territory, but we were holding a sickle and they said that we wanted to murder the soldiers. How could we resist?”
Zhong Yan was momentarily unable to defend himself and stammered,""There are so many of you. If you work together, how can you not defeat them?”
"Little girl, I think you should hurry back to your mother's place. It's not peaceful here.”A woman who looked more amiable said," It's obvious that you haven't experienced the world. If the commoners were so powerful that they could resist everything as long as they were united, then we would have been waiting at home for the new year.”
"Why not?"
Zhong Yan's eyes were a little sore. It was indeed very tiring to look at people carefully under such dim lights.
"Tell me, if this matter is reported, will we be the unlucky ones or will the soldiers be the unlucky ones?”The woman continued to speak. Her voice was neither angry nor angry. It was only because Zhong Yan was just a little girl who did not know anything. If it were them, they might mock her.
Zhong Yan really didn't know either. She answered innocently,""Of course it's the soldiers. They robbed your food for their own winter. If I knew, I would definitely kill them!”
"Are they stupid?" Someone laughed. Would he report his crimes truthfully?”
"Then what do you think they said?" Zhong Yan was angry. These commoners were simply rebels. She wouldn't listen no matter what and kept blaming Zhong Yan.
Actually, no one was blaming her. They were just stating a fact.
"Those soldiers definitely wouldn't say that.”Ah Mi looked outside lazily." If I were them, I would know that I would be sentenced to death if I told anyone. I would definitely say that there was a group of rebels who refused to contribute even a little when they saw that others had nothing to eat. They spread the bad things about the government and the country everywhere, so the government sent people out to ask for some food and ordered them not to talk nonsense. I think that if you hear this, you will definitely think that we are in the wrong and not the government. What do you think?”
When Zhong Yan heard this, he did not speak for a long time.
Ah Mi was right. If he had only heard the government's side of the story, he would probably think that the people who had left the country had done something wrong. If he was the government…sigh…
" I…" Zhong Yan was about to speak when she saw Gu Luolan tugging at the corner of her clothes.
"Chongyan, there's no need to say anything more. They have lost confidence in Li Nation. The only thing they can do now is to give them enough food for the winter after they find food and fodder. Only then will they believe that Li Nation is really thinking of the people.”
Zhong Yan sighed." Fortunately, Mother didn't appoint any ministers to transport the grain, nor did she distribute the grain level by level. Otherwise, when it reached the place, it would have become the pocket of those corrupt officials in the government!" These poor and hungry people continued their dark lives! If I knew, I would probably die of guilt!”
" Don't talk about life and death all the time." Gu Luolan tapped her nose." You're so good to people. You'll definitely live to a hundred years old."”
Hearing this, Zhong Yan felt grateful in his heart. Suddenly, he raised his head and said,"Guloran, if one day you find out that I lied to you, a big lie, what will you do to me?”
Gu Luolan thought for a moment and said,""In fact, sometimes, we lie because we can't help but think of the last resort. In daily life, you will definitely understand us, and we will also understand you. So, no matter how you lied to us in the beginning, we were not familiar with each other at that time, and our goals were different. Therefore, the lie cannot be regarded as your Shanghai for us, but a kind of self-protection for yourself. I think you can understand what I said. It's what Feng Qinian thinks. I don't know, but looking at how he treats you, I'm afraid he'll understand!”
Zhong Yan smiled gratefully and stretched out a hand for him to see."Look, what is this?"
"Hand," Gu Luolan said in confusion.
"What if I put it like this?" Zhong Yan nodded.”
Zhong Yan tightened her grip slightly, her palm facing up and the back of her hand facing down.
"Right," said Guloran after a moment of silence.”
"Yes, Guloran." Chong Yan retracted her hand." Because it's my hand, it's power. But what if it's someone else's hand?”
"It's still just a pair of hands." Gu Luolan didn't quite understand what Chong Yan meant.
Zhong Yan restrained the expression on his face and clenched his fingers tightly in his palm."Guloran, there are some things that I must obtain since I have the ability to do so. Otherwise, I will die without a burial ground!”
Gu Luolan suddenly understood that Zhong Yan was explaining to him about meeting that person in private today. Actually, he didn't care at all, but Zhong Yan misunderstood.
"You're a princess, you should." I know."
Zhong Yan wanted to return a smile, but she could not smile because of the scene in front of her.
No one cared about the two of them at all. Everyone was so cold that they shivered. They even pressed their hands against their stomachs, trying to resist the corrosion of hunger.
Zhong Yan felt deeply guilty.
If she hadn't gotten lost and discovered the situation in the village, would they have starved to death?
Or freeze to death?
Gu Luolan knew what she was thinking. She moved closer and asked,""I have some poison here. It should be enough to satisfy your hunger…"
"What are you talking about!" Chong Yan glared at him.”
"Just take the antidote." Gu Luolan actually treated people's names like dirt and was already numb to them. After practicing medicine for so many years, everyone knew that he, Guloran, had seen more dead people than living people.
Back when he was learning from his master, all his experience came from the bodies of the dead. He needed people to be his guinea pigs. He didn't care about the lives of others.
