Three Hundred and Seventy-Six: Dongqing Earthquake (8)
Jiang Pengji sneered, "I won't leave, even if the emperor really moves the capital. Liewen's website WwΩW.ΩLieWen.Cc"
Huang Song's expression was complicated. The Jiang Pengji in front of him was completely different from the one he knew. She tore off her lazy and cold mask and showed her most aggressive side, which was eye-catching. He admired Jiang Pengji more, but he also regretted her choice.
Huang Song persuaded in a low voice, sincerely considering Jiang Pengji, "Whether you are willing to leave or not, this is probably not something you can decide. The emperor is angry, blood flows, this is not a joke... If you don't leave now, you will really be under house arrest in the future."
The emperor tried every means to hold the hostages of the noble families in his hands. Now that the earthquake in Shangjing is unfavorable to the emperor, he will not let go of the hostages in his hands. If the noble families act rashly, someone may have to sacrifice blood in order to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
The earthquake happened not long ago, and the emperor was too busy to take care of himself. If Jiang Pengji packed up her belongings and fled overnight, as long as she entered Chongzhou, she would be basically safe. Even if the emperor pursued her later, Chongzhou Mu Liushe could stop her.
The situation in Dongqing was already serious, and with this sudden earthquake, the emperor could not act rashly if he wanted to live forever.
But if Jiang Pengji didn't leave now, she would really become a hostage and lose her freedom when the capital was moved.
"Don't worry, I have a way." Jiang Pengji looked around, the surroundings were filled with smoke and dust, and there were ruins everywhere. The air was filled with an uncomfortable atmosphere. "I know what you are worried about. Since you dare to stay, how could you not have support?"
If the emperor really wanted to move the capital, she would take away the people who were left in Shangjing City without hesitation.
Originally, she wanted to slow down her pace, plan secretly, and proceed step by step.
However, the opponent's stupidity and suicidal behavior made her unbearable.
However, she is now facing a very embarrassing problem - money and food are secondary, the key is the lack of manpower.
If Huang Song came before, she would like to ask his opinion in private, whether he is willing to allocate manpower to help... Shang Jingdu Xun is indeed a small official, but he has many people under his command. Now it seems that it is impossible.
It is not that Huang Song is not kind, he is also fair and impartial. He can only use limited resources and energy to help dignitaries and complete the tasks assigned by the superiors. It is several times more difficult for eunuchs to stand out in the court than ordinary people.
He has a kind heart for the common people, but the situation is too harsh,
and he is powerless.
If she had her own troops, she would not be without anyone to use.
Huang Song saw that Jiang Pengji had made up her mind, and sighed in his heart, and knew that he could not persuade her.
"You are here to look for Huaiyu and Huaijie, right? They are all inside..."
Jiang Pengji had already guessed what Huang Song was here for, and secretly informed them to flee Shangjing as soon as possible and return to their own family, so that they would be completely safe by then. However, Huang Song was kind-hearted, but the two Feng brothers were not ordinary people, and each had their own opinions.
Huang Song looked embarrassed, and seeing that Jiang Pengji was in a bad mood, he could only bow and thank her, and then went past her to find the two Feng brothers.
Seeing Huang Song walking away, Xu Ke said, "My dear, Ke will go back to make arrangements first."
"Well, Dabai, you ride first. It's smart, and if you encounter a mob on the road, it can also take you to safety."
Xu Ke took Dabai's reins and got on the horse skillfully, "Thank you!"
This little girl has a very proud temper. If it wasn't for looking for Jiang Pengji before, it would never allow Xu Ke to get on its back.
Now that Jiang Pengji had given his permission in person, Xu Ke was not rejected by Dabai.
Jiang Pengji stayed there and waited for a while. Not long after, she saw Huang Song coming over with an expressionless face. When they passed each other, they nodded and then went about their own business. As Huang Song, who was on patrol in Kyoto, had the obligation to rescue the trapped dignitaries and ensure their safety.
Jiang Pengji had set up a sturdy tent that could accommodate three adults without being crowded.
Wei Jingxian, who had drunk the tonic soup, had fallen asleep in the tent. The newly born Changsheng drank the colostrum and fell asleep sweetly.
Feng Jin felt very distressed about this.
For this child, he ran around and selected three wet nurses who were healthy, had sufficient milk, and were well-educated.
Last night's earthquake killed one of the three, and the other two were injured and could not feed the child at all.
But, you can't let the child starve just because there is no wet nurse, right?
The couple looked at their crying daughter, and Wei Jingxian could only speak in a low voice, asking for her opinion, whether she could feed the baby herself.
The baby was born not long ago, and when she cried, she was as weak as a kitten, and she felt sad and uncomfortable when she heard it.
Feng Jin's face darkened at that time.
It was not because of Wei Jingxian's suggestion, but because he really felt sorry for the child and his wife.
Which mother in a noble family would become a wet nurse?
Wei Jingxian was not a clan woman, but she was also the second wife of Feng!
How much grievance is it to let a noble woman be a wet nurse and feed the baby herself?
However, Jiang Pengji told him that breastfeeding is better for the child and easier to raise, and his face improved slightly.
However, his mood did not last long, and Huang Song came to the door.
The news brought by this man made his chest feel tight, and the scenery in front of him was bright and dark, and he almost choked out blood.
Ordinary people can't see the tricks, but how could Feng Jin not notice the tricks inside?
The emperor wants to abandon Shangjing and move the capital elsewhere!
Huang Song did not stay to wait for the reply from Feng Jin and his brother. Now time is life, and he cannot delay for a moment. He wishes he could have thousands of incarnations... He could take time out to inform Feng Jue at this time, which shows that he really regards Feng Jue as a close friend.
"Lanting? Why are you back?"
Feng Jin looked up when he heard the noise and saw the person coming. It turned out to be Jiang Pengji who had said goodbye before.
"I met Bo Gao on the way... The government may give up Shangjing and move the capital with people..."
Feng Jin's lips twitched reluctantly, and Jiang Pengji's idea coincided with his.
Now there are two ways in front of him.
First, he does nothing and waits for the government to send someone to pick him up and continue to be a hostage of the Feng family. But Feng Jin is not an ordinary person, how can he not see how difficult this road is? It is not imprisonment, but it is better than imprisonment. When he arrives at the place where the capital is moved, he may become a real prisoner.
Second, take the opportunity to pack up his belongings and escape from here with his wife and children.
If Jingxian hadn't given birth and was still in the early stages of pregnancy, he could have tried the second option.
However, fate is a trick of fate. Now that the child has just been born, he can't stand the fatigue of traveling, not to mention the unknown dangers on the road. Maybe it's a bandit who has no choice but to become a bandit, or maybe it's a hungry mob... No matter which one it is, he can't afford to gamble.
In this comparison, the first option is safer.
Feng Jin is a true gentleman. For the sake of his wife and daughter, he would rather sacrifice temporary freedom and preserve his family.
However, Jiang Pengji gave him a third option.
