Chapter 959 Backbone
Zhang Yumo looked at the group of people in front of her. She had only one thought in her mind: she couldn't trust them. Who knew if they would hurt her? She acted aggrieved and confused, and only said, "I really don't know what's going on."
Gongsun Lan didn't believe her words. The most important thing now was to save Jiang Fenghua.
Xiao Shang stared at her like a wolf. The person in front of him seemed to be his prey. He had been looking for so many years, but he didn't expect that there really was someone exactly like him. He asked, "Who are you?"
Zhang Yumo avoided him and didn't say anything. She suppressed the anger in her heart. Now she had only one thought in her mind: there was really no good person in the Jiang family. After Jiang Jinyan and Sang Yu Pianpian got together, he never entered her room and was even very cold. Why did Jiang Fenghua bring her out?
Zhang Yumo reviewed everything in her mind. Jiang Fenghua came here because of those rumors. They mentioned the Queen of Yinchuan. If she was the Queen of Yinchuan, she would become a monster that everyone would want to kill.
Is Jiang Fenghua using her as a shield?
Xiao Shang was quite frank about his identity. He said to Zhang Yumo, "In a few decades, I will be the King of Beishang. I've been here for twenty years, and this body is not out of place. Where did you come from? Are your mind and body your own?"
Zhang Yumo still didn't speak. She said softly, "I don't understand what the prince said."
Xiao Shang pointed at the flower on her wrist and said, "You have the mark of this flower, which means you are extraordinary."
Zhang Yumo retorted, "You said you are extraordinary, but where is the flower mark on your body?"
Xiao Shang was speechless. He was stunned. That's right! If Jiang Fenghua and Zhang Yumo were both reborn, they would have the mark of Yinchuan Country on them. He was also a reborn person, so he should have the mark on his body too!
Zhang Yumo smiled and said, "Prince Xiao, you must be crazy to want to be the king, so you are dreaming."
"I am not dreaming. I really came from several decades later." Xiao Shang tried his best to prove his identity. When he woke up from his sleep, he found himself in Xiao Chuanyun of Beixiao Country. Xiao Chuanyun was stupid and useless.
He doesn't have the Lycoris radiata mark unique to Yinchuan Kingdom on his body. Why do they have it? What's going on?
Soon, Jiang Fenghua woke up and asked Gongsun Lan, "Why did you knock me out?"
Everyone was also confused. Xiao Yu said, "Yes, why did Miss Gongsun knock the queen unconscious?"
Gongsun Lan said to Jiang Fenghua, "You don't know what just happened."
Jiang Fenghua shook her head. She really didn't remember. She seemed to be losing control of herself more and more.
When Gongsun Lan saw the flower ornament on Jiang Fenghua's forehead, she thought of the girl she had met before. She didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that she was suffering from some disease, until the girl killed her entire family.
Afterwards, the girl didn't know why she killed people. She didn't want to kill them. In the end, the government imprisoned the girl. However, she couldn't bear the torture of her conscience and committed suicide.
Gongsun Lan wanted to use her medical skills to save people, but only then did she realize that not all diseases can be cured.
She found a Lycoris radiata ornament on the girl's shoulder blade.
Jiang Fenghua also caught a glimpse of something strange in Gongsun Lan's eyes, as if Gongsun Lan knew some secret.
Gongsun Lan didn't say much in front of so many people. She planned to ask Jiang Fenghua in private. Since Xie Shang told her what happened to Jiang Fenghua, she had to live up to Xie Shang's trust.
Xiao Shang said quickly, "What are you guys talking about? Now we just have to find the Ghost Realm as soon as possible, and everything will be solved."
Xiao Shang has been waiting for twenty years and he no longer has the patience to wait. Since Zhang Yumo is also a reborn person, she must go with him, if she is the reincarnation of the Queen of Yinchuan.
Jiang Fenghua said, "Let's go first. We really can't afford to waste time."
She glanced at everyone and said, "Let's go to Yuzhou first."
She knew her situation could become difficult and even uncontrollable, but she chose to move forward with her original plan.
Xiao Shang said, "I don't agree to go to Yuzhou. Let's go directly to the Western Regions. Going to Yuzhou will take a long detour and waste time."
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "If Prince Xiao wants to go, then go by yourself! Please do as you please."
"You..." Xiao Shang was furious. He suppressed his anger and said deliberately, "I will not leave. I will follow Miss Jiang San...for the rest of my life."
"I don't keep any idle people around me." Jiang Fenghua acted like a queen.
Xiao Shang was stunned. Did he have to be her maid and serve her tea and water? He was the King of Bei Shang, and now he had no way to kidnap Jiang Fenghua. He had to rely on them to find the Ghost Realm. But this group of people listened to Jiang Fenghua, so he had no choice but to listen to Jiang Fenghua.
Three days later, they had left the boundaries of Shengjing.
They were walking on the official road, and the victims were like ants on the road. The victims all flocked to Shengjing City, which was not affected by floods and earthquakes. What they heard most on the way were words like "the emperor and empress are kind and benevolent", and they believed that they would not starve to death at the feet of the emperor.
It makes sense to think so. The Jishan Hall has already started providing free medical care and medicine and has built soup kitchens. People have a better chance of survival if they go to Shengjing, but they can't let everyone run to Shengjing. If something happens, it will be difficult for the government to control it.
Jiang Fenghua thought to himself, "As Lin Yuxin said, the situation is even worse than what was reported to the Imperial Palace."
The entire road was filled with refugees fleeing for their lives.
Half a month later, they passed by a dilapidated temple, which was also crowded with refugees.
Jiang Fenghua said to Xiao Yu, "Except for Yuzhou, which was the hardest hit, local governments have received orders from the imperial court to open their granaries and release food to help refugees fleeing on the roads. How come so many people are still running to Shengjing City?"
Xiao Yu said, "I'll have someone find out what's going on."
Jiang Fenghua said: "Go!"
Xiao Shang interrupted their conversation impatiently, "What's there to inquire about? The reasons for this situation are nothing more than the same ones. Either the government has no food and the Great Zhou Emperor is incompetent; or some officials are corrupt and embezzle the relief grain. Naturally, the people have no food to share, so they have no choice but to continue fleeing. First there was a flood, then there was a landslide. If they can survive, it's a blessing from God. Fleeing is just a way to find a place to live."
Queen Jiang, the most important thing for us now isn't to study the severity of the disaster, but to go directly to the Ghost Realm to confirm whether it's related to the Yinchuan Kingdom. If we find the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom's secret technique, all disasters will disappear. These disasters will no longer exist. Your journey is so slow. Every moment of delay means more suffering for the people of the Great Zhou."
Ignoring him, Xiao Shang just felt that he had said a lot of "nonsense".
Qin Yunyan and Zhang Yumo didn't dare to say anything more. No one served them along the way, and Jiang Fenghua would not spoil them. If they wanted to eat, they had to work.
At the same time, they had no intention of escaping because they were also very interested in the secret arts of the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom.
At this moment, a group of people in the ruined temple came towards them and besieged them. Xiao Yu quickly sent someone forward to block Jiang Fenghua's carriage.
At this time, an old man covered in mud knelt in front of the carriage, holding a two or three-year-old child in his arms. "Please give me something to eat! My grandson has been hungry for several days. I can go without food, but I can't let the child suffer. Please, beg of God."
Jiang Fenghua lifted the curtain and was about to get out of the car, but Xiao Yu quickly stopped her and said, "Third Miss, you can't get out of the car."
