Hearing such words from Xu Qingmo's mouth, Meng Hetong felt warm in his heart. He sat there, looking at Xu Qingmo momentarily: "Do you know what the world was like at that time?"
Xu Qingmo knew that he was talking about the days after she was buried.
Although she is a ghost, she cannot leave the hundred-mile radius of the cemetery. She is trapped in that radius, so naturally she will not know the affairs of the world.
"First there was the flood in the south of the Yangtze River. When the dam was destroyed, the Lin family was still plundering the people's wealth. The relief food had been divided up before it was sent to the south. The flood was followed by the plague. Although your majesty is very active in the war. He was determined and loved the people as his own son, but at that time, His Majesty was already on his last legs and the Crown Prince came to power. He burned the entire town to death and wailed all over the place!" Meng Hetong seemed to have remembered something, and his eyes gradually became cold.
Xu Qingmo frowned slightly. She had heard about floods and plagues from people, but she didn't expect them to be so cruel.
"Later, Yale Qimang destroyed the armistice agreement and led his troops to fight in. The Yan family was unable to resist, and the court could not send better generals. In the end, they had to cede the land!" Meng Hetong's voice was very soft, but he carried a few words. He was full of murderous intent, "The emperor is in power and the people are in dire straits! I secretly went to the south of the Yangtze River and saw Yi Zi and ate it. This was also the first time I heard of the two-legged sheep!"
The so-called exchange of children for food, as well as the two-legged sheep, are all in the years of famine. After eating up all the edible things, including tree bark, in order to survive, people from poor families sacrifice their children with others. The children of the two families are exchanged, and in the end they eat each other's children. This is the so-called two-legged sheep, which is actually human flesh.
When Xu Qingmo heard these words, he couldn't help but close his eyes.
"There are even more miserable women who sell themselves as minced meat to the butcher, just so that their husbands can live longer!" Meng Hetong sighed longly, "The despair of seeing people suffering but being unable to do anything almost overwhelmed me. collapse!"
"I won't let him have the chance to become the emperor!" Xu Qingmo raised her eyes and looked at Meng Hetong, her eyes full of determination.
Meng Hetong held Xu Qingmo's hand: "He is not an emperor's talent, but for the so-called love as deep as the sea, His Majesty personally handed over the country that he had worked so hard to protect into the hands of a fool, causing harm to the world. The people are in dire straits, and His Majesty’s reputation has been ruined in one fell swoop!”
"It's probably because God can't bear to see the suffering in the world, so he sent me back to save the people of this world!" Xu Qingmo smiled softly, "But I just want to let my Xu family survive, so I thought, it seems that I am not generous enough!"
"Only thousands of small families can have a big country!" Meng Hetong put Xu Qingmo's hand on his cheek.
Xu Qingmo felt the warmth on his fingertips and smiled softly: "I know!"
Suddenly there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside the door. Meng Hetong stood up quickly, turned over and climbed onto the beam. After a while, Hua Ying pushed the door open and walked in: "Girl, the prince said that the King of Northern Xinjiang is here and wants you to meet him in the front hall. See!"
Xu Qingmo was stunned for a moment: "Yale Gesheng? What is he doing here?"
"The person who heard the news said that it was to catch up with old friends!"
Xu Qingmo raised her eyebrows. She and Yale Gesheng were not old friends, but now that he was the king of Northern Xinjiang after all, it was not good to refute his face like this, so she nodded: "I understand, go get some water." , I'll wash my face, the weather is getting hotter and hotter now, and I feel sticky all over after sitting for a while!"
Hua Ying agreed and turned to leave.
Huaying went out with her front legs, and Meng Hetong came down from the beam with her back legs: "Shall I go with you?"
Xu Qingmo was stunned for a moment: "Okay, then you can come in through the main entrance later!"
Meng Hetong smiled, suddenly approached Xu Qingmo, kissed her on the cheek, and then disappeared in a flash!
Xu Qingmo had no choice but to reach out and wipe his cheeks. It was better now, his cheeks were really sticky.
After wiping her face, Xu Qingmo left the house. As soon as she walked into the yard, she saw cloths laid out on the ground. She suddenly remembered that Mrs. Xu asked her to choose cloths. She paused for a while, and then pointed to something. The cloth that had been picked out by Qu Lian in the distance said: "Just those, the weather is hot, cyan and blue look cooler!"
Qu Lian quickly agreed, feeling quite happy. After all, Xu Qingmo chose the one she thought was suitable for her girl.
Hua Ying followed Xu Qingmo to the front hall. On the way, Hua Ying couldn't help but said: "Qu Lian said that when she was in Northern Xinjiang, she saw the current King of Northern Xinjiang and said that he was tortured to death by his younger brother. It’s in human form, I don’t know what it looks like now!”
"Probably not much has changed. Today's Northern Xinjiang has been almost completely hollowed out because of a war. His father passed away and left a lot of mess for him. He also worked hard and hard. I'm afraid it's the same now. You look so thin!" Xu Qingmo smiled, "It's not easy to sit in that high position!"
Hua Ying actually didn't understand this, but since Xu Qingmo said so, she naturally wouldn't ask again.
When they walked to the front hall and entered the door, they saw Meng Hetong sitting there drinking tea. Xu Qingmo was not surprised at all. He was very thick-skinned and always had a way to get in.
"Miss Xu!" Yale Gesheng, who was sitting nearby, suddenly spoke.
Only then did Xu Qingmo see Yale Gesheng, who was wearing Northern Xinjiang clothing. She lowered her head and saluted: "King of Northern Xinjiang!"
"No need to be polite!" Yale Gesheng quickly stood up and helped her, "I'm used to seeing Miss Xu looking so heroic in armor, but now I feel a little uncomfortable!"
Xu Qingmo looked at the skinny Yale Gesheng in front of him and said, "The King of Northern Xinjiang seems to be even thinner, but are you not used to the food in the capital?"
"There are so many delicacies in the Central Plains, how can I not get used to them? It's just that I have something on my mind and I can't swallow some of the food!" Yale Gesheng said helplessly, "This battle, whether it's the Central Plains or the Northern Xinjiang, has severely damaged their vitality. The great country in the Central Plains still has room for improvement, but the northern Xinjiang is struggling!"
Xu Qingmo didn't answer, just walked aside and sat down. The maid quickly served strong tea. She picked up the tea and sipped it lightly.
"The King of Northern Xinjiang also said that both the Central Plains and Northern Xinjiang are severely damaged. It is difficult for us to protect ourselves, so how can we be free to take care of other things!" Meng Hetong on the side spoke first.
Xu Qingmo glanced at them but still said nothing.
