Back to Her Royal Highness the Emperor, there were no rebels within a radius of ten miles outside the city, but in the Huashan area, there was a group of quarrymen. The spy said.

Feng Changqi thought back for a moment and said, "Two months ago, didn't an order have been issued that stones are not allowed to be mined in Huashan."

The spy said: "This is true, but a few days ago, there were rumors that there was a jade mine in Huashan, so these workers secretly went to mine it. ”

"It's ridiculous." Feng Changqi said unhappily, more than ten years ago, Huashan was indeed a stone quarrying site, but within a few years, half of the mountain was hollowed out, and several mudslides broke out, so Bai Huan issued an order not to allow quarrymen to approach Huashan.

The spy was a little helpless, he had just told the workers, but no one listened to him.

Feng Changqi bowed: "I see." ”

Originally, Feng Changqi planned to let Yueqing only take the old man to the village once, but now it seems that he also came forward to warn these workers by the way.

Yu Wuwang was discussing tactics with the two old generals, so Feng Changqi didn't tell him, but he came back after a while, which made him worry.

Inside and outside the royal city, the atmosphere was solemn, and there were no merchants and civilians in the streets, only soldiers patrolling day and night.

"The people are bitter." Feng Changqi shook his head and sighed, the dynasty has changed, and the most pitiful thing is the innocent people.

The old man behind him sighed approvingly and said, "Meng Li has been in good weather for so many years, why can't anyone think of rebelling." ”

Feng Changqi sighed: "It's just for the right, but with the right in your hand, you should find a way to work for the well-being of the people, not how to be powerful yourself." ”

The old man blinked, his eyes were a little surprised, but Feng Changqi didn't look back, so he didn't notice this strangeness.

Out of the city, a few people drove the carriage towards the village, the village was more empty than before, walking on the road, you can still see the things left by the people when they fled, the whole village, there is no one left.

"Old man, the Liangzi you mentioned are also not in this village," Feng Changqi asked.

The old man nodded sadly: "I don't know where they fled now." ”

Feng Changqi lowered his eyes: "No matter where you run, you can't escape five years of exile, don't worry, old man." ”

Walking into the deepest part of the village, the firewood gate of the dilapidated yard was already tattered, and the white flags were scattered on the ground, the old man cried and knelt in the yard, Feng Changqi and Yueqing couldn't bear it, and walked out of the yard.

Fortunately, the old man's son, Wang'er's well-dressed grave has been erected, but in this troubled world, it is also a blessing to be able to leave a grave.

Feng Changqi's eyes were sad, and he empathized with the old man's grief.

After half an hour, the old man's crying gradually stopped, and he walked out in a shaking.

"Emperor, general, little old man wants to accompany my poor Wang'er here tonight." The old man said pleadingly.

Feng Changqi bowed his head: "Wait a minute, the old man, the palace called two secret guards to come over to protect, and now it is very dangerous outside." ”

Although the old man made a move, even if thousands of soldiers would not be his opponent, Feng Changqi still made a gesture, and the old man gave Feng Changqi a big salute gratefully.

Yueqing and Feng Changqi got into the carriage and walked all the way towards Huashan, holding the inkstone They had already evacuated from Huashan, otherwise those workers would not have been allowed to go to Huashan to quarry stones.

The terrain of Huashan is dangerous, like an upside-down spindle, the bottom has been hollowed out, the huge mountain looks crumbling, and there are many quarrymen busy under the mountain.

Feng Changqi's face darkened suddenly, he lifted the corner of his skirt and asked in a cold voice: "This palace remembers that it is forbidden to mine stones in Huashan." ”

The overseer who was in full swing in command was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to get angry, but after seeing that it was Feng Changqi, he said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, now...... Now we can't get out of the city, we have several lists in our hands, and if we can't give the stones, the creditor can kill us. ”

Feng Changqi snorted: "This palace still remembers, yesterday this palace issued an order, these days, the loss of people's livelihood is the responsibility of the imperial court, what else do you want?"

"Your Royal Highness, we are really ......" The overseer looked embarrassed, Feng Changqi pointed to Huashan that looked crumbling: "No matter what difficulties you have, you can't put the lives of these people aside, give you an hour, if you don't evacuate, don't blame the palace for calling the army." ”

The overseer nodded with a bitter face, and ordered people to withdraw from Huashan, Feng Changqi's voice softened: "Now that the internal and external troubles are coming, the building has been ordered to stop, and it will not hinder anything." ”

The overseer stopped talking: "Hey...... Yes, Your Highness. ”

The workers could not be evacuated for a while, Feng Changqi was not at ease to leave, and simply asked: "Who is it, and what do you want to do when you are quarrying stones?"

The overseer's eyes flickered, and he said, "I heard that it is the lord of the capital who wants to dig a tunnel to escape from the royal city." ”

Feng Changqi raised his eyebrows, in the entire Meng Li, only Wang Cheng is the safest now, and there are still people who want to escape and lose their minds.

"Which master" Feng Changqi asked playfully, if what the overseer said was true, then why did the master want to escape, it was worth thinking about.

The overseer knelt down with a grunt, waved his hand again and again, and said, "The little one is also a ghost, so he took this list, and His Royal Highness the Emperor atonements!" ”

Feng Changqi smiled lightly: "If you want to escape, according to the law, you will be punished, you are indeed a ghost, if you confess honestly, this palace can still intercede with you, otherwise this illegal mining of stones, and help people escape, you will be guilty of one more degree." ”

The overseer trembled, eager to slap himself, how could he just let Feng Changqi catch him, and he didn't even dare to lie to Feng Changqi's eyes.

However, after hesitating for a quarter of an hour, the supervisor directly confessed, the lord of the royal city, the nephew of the Shangshu family in the west of the city, was a minor official in the imperial court, because of this relationship, he was also guarded, but he had three folds in a row to show his loyalty, so he had not been convicted of sitting together for the time being.

"It's so dishonest." Feng Changqi was angry in his heart, but he was smiling on his face, and the overseer looked at Feng Changqi trembling, and didn't dare to say a word.

Soon the workers of Huashan were evacuated, looking at the crumbling Huashan, Feng Changqi sighed long, according to the current state of Huashan, as long as the next rainstorm, or an unusually slight movement, Huashan may collapse.

"If you don't report it, the palace can forgive you, but mining Huashan must be punished." Feng Changqi said coldly, and the overseer looked sad, but he didn't dare to refute.

Now that it is autumn, Meng Li is less than a thousand miles away from the sea, and at this time, Meng Li often rains heavily, and when she comes out, the sky is still clear, and now it is full of dark clouds.

"Let's go." There are still more than ten miles away from the royal city, Feng Changqi has just climbed into the carriage, and he is a little worried, the old man lives alone in the crumbling thatched house, I am afraid that he will get sick.

Although the old man may be a martial arts master, he is not young after all, Feng Changqi has a little compassion in his heart, and he stayed here for a while, asking the soldiers to bring the old man back.

A quarter of an hour later, the rain had already fallen heavily, and a deafening roar could be heard in the small carriage, and Feng Changqi hid in the carriage, his heart beating faster. She hates rainy days.

The thunder outside shook the sky, Yueqing was lifting the curtain and looking out, waiting for the spies to bring the old man back, but Yueqing's expression suddenly changed, she quickly ran out of the carriage, Feng Changqi was startled, and hurriedly walked out with an umbrella.

The horse was neighing restlessly, the rain was pouring in front of him, and he couldn't see anything clearly, Yue Qing saw Feng Changqi come out and wanted to push her back, but Feng Changqi stood stubbornly in place and asked, "What happened?"

Yueqing wiped the rain from his face and said, "Huashan is about to fall." ”

Feng Changqi was shocked, raised his eyes and looked over, and sure enough, he could see that Huashan, which was originally towering into the clouds, had slowly begun to tilt, and the direction of inclination was the direction in which the workers were running.

"What to do!" Feng Changqi asked himself in his heart, and then quickly explained: "General Yue, call the soldiers who are good at kung fu, and quickly evacuate these workers!" ”

Judging from this momentum, it will take a cup of tea for Huashan to collapse and fall, and if the action is fast enough, the workers can be evacuated.

"Yes!" Fortunately, she came out this time and brought a lot of people, Feng Changqi was glad in her heart, she couldn't help, and she didn't want to make trouble, so she got into the carriage.

The sound of thunderstorms outside was mixed with the sound of falling stones, and the pain of Feng Changqi's head was restless.

At this time, a soldier who didn't look very old came over and asked, "Your Royal Highness, do you want to evacuate now?"

Feng Changqi asked, "How are the workers evacuated?"

"Fifty people, most of them have been evacuated."

"Did the old man bring it?"

"It's all here." Feng Changqi glanced out, and in the distance, there were several figures the size of ants moving rapidly, it should be Yueqing They were fleeing with the workers for their lives.

Feng Changqi breathed a sigh of relief and waited for Yueqing in the carriage for a while.

"It's almost evacuated." Accompanied by Yueqing's words, followed by the sound of half of Huashan falling to the ground, half of the ground of the royal city was trembling, Feng Changqi stood firm with the wheel, Yueqing's face was also miserable, although the collapse of Huashan did not hurt them, but this sense of impact still made people palpitate.

Half of Huashan fell, it was not a trivial matter, the overseer saw this scene, he trembled with fright, Feng Changqi gave him a bad look, if it wasn't for being seen by himself, all of them would die here.
