Chapter 820: The Emperor Loves to Listen to Stories from the Palace (31)

But after this experience, Xiang Xing's mind was in a mess, and his sleepiness was disturbed.

I could only open my round soft eyes in the dim light after the lights went out, silently looking at the delicate and handsome face next to me that seemed to have slept peacefully.

He's just joking, is he?

The little guy blinked incomprehensibly, wanting to ask, but he didn't dare to ask.

Xu is gaze was also particularly warm in the dark, and soon, the first word turned around and gently wrapped her into a warm embrace.

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Xing suddenly felt a slight warmth on the door of his head.

Then, it was the still dumb and gentle words, and the words overturned: "Rest early, don't think too much, huh?" ”

“…… Well. ”

Xiang Xing had no choice but to respond.

Xu is man's embrace was too warm and reassuring, and before she could think too much about it, her sleepiness gradually returned.

A good night's sleep.

……

Half a month later, the day of the Western Tour officially arrived.

The first task of the emperor's personal tour of the west was to go to the border area with Haiqi and southern Xinjiang, an area called Ximengcheng, to deal with the severe plague in the local area and appease the local people who had suffered for a long time.

As for this plague, the DPRK and China have been investigating it for a long time.

Although all kinds of signs vaguely point to the southern Xinjiang, which is already good at making and using drugs, there is a lack of substantive evidence, and it is impossible to ask questions about it for a while.

The first resignation decided to come over in person, strictly arrest the city lord of Nasimeng City and his officials, and investigate the matter as soon as possible, so that the people can recover their health as soon as possible.

……

And ten more days passed.

An unremarkable carriage rushed ahead of the pro-conquest army and came to the outskirts of the city of Ximeng.

The curtain hanging on the carriage window was slightly lifted by a small white hand, and a pair of round apricot eyes looked out a few times.

But he quickly lowered the curtain and shrank back.

He sighed faintly.

This hidden identity, along the way to come in advance, Xiang Xing saw the corpses and bones, a miserable scene, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

Although in the carriage, an unknown incense stick was lit by the first word, and the incense was so strong that it covered up the smell of the sachet on her body.

But just like this, the strange smell of medicine residue outside, the sick people neglected to clean up, the smell of smell emitted by their bodies, and the burning smell of burning flesh and bones...... Still seeped in some.

It made her almost depressed.

At this moment, the carriage froze, and the terrible neighing of the horses after the reins were forcibly pulled from the front of the carriage.

There were even a few low child sobs.

Hearing this, Xiang Xing and First Ci couldn't help but glance at each other.

Hurriedly jumped out of the car to check.

Outside the carriage, a little girl about seven or eight years old, who seemed to be frightened by the horse, was stunned, and was sitting not far in front of the horse's hooves.

She was wearing a coarse cotton jacket, which was torn, but each tear was meticulously patched.

It should be a beloved child.

But what is strange is that on that small, pale face, the lips are the opposite, charred as charcoal.

The slender and weak limbs twitched unconsciously.

Seeing Xiang Xing, he frowned frequently.

She had heard the first word say along the way, and this was the symptom of the plague.

The man beside him naturally saw this scene, and couldn't help but sink his handsome face and turn to the shadow guard who was driving.

"Liufeng, what's going on?"
