Chapter 229 If You Don’t Get Out, Cheng Will Be Crazy
More and more refugees gathered in front of the gate of Dongzhou City. They brought their families with them, from poor people to wealthy merchants with their servants and guards. They all had tired and helpless expressions on their faces.
Yun Duo stood alone on a high place, silently observing everything around her. She saw many people of different ages, genders and backgrounds, some wearing tattered clothes, some wearing gorgeous clothes and accompanied by slaves. But they had only one purpose, which was to avoid disaster and leave their homes in order to survive.
Because they were well prepared when they set out, and because it was summer, even if they encountered difficulties, they would not starve or freeze. Therefore, there was no such tragic scene as described in the book, with people in tattered clothes, starving to death on the road, or people exchanging their children for food. There were also no refugees or bandits gathering together to rob supplies.
Looking at these people of all kinds, Yun Duo couldn't help but sigh. In this era, the imperial power was supreme, and the lives of ordinary people were already full of hardships and difficulties. When they encountered local officials who did not serve the people, the people's lives were even more miserable. They could only endure it with nowhere to turn and no way to change their fate.
Yun Duo felt a surge of sympathy. She knew that the plight of these people was not something that could be controlled by individuals, but a problem of the entire social system. However, facing this reality, she felt powerless.
Now she is just an insignificant ordinary person, and all she can do is try her best to protect her family.
She put the released micro drone back into the space, and then she also entered the space. She took advantage of the opportunity when Cheng Yuheng went to talk to his grandfather about something, and thought of a way to leave Han Lai who was following him behind, and came here alone.
She sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the intelligence collected by the drone and thinking secretly, "If Cheng Yuheng becomes the emperor, can he help these civilians better? Maybe, or maybe in this dynasty where the imperial power is intertwined with the aristocratic families, everything is in vain?
Even in the modern era of equality and peace, there are still class distinctions, many corrupt officials, and shady politicians. What's more, in this ancient era where the rule of law is not sound. "
The more Yun Duo thought about it, the more bleak her future seemed. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to put the fate of her entire family on Cheng Yuheng. She was not the type of person who was obsessed with love. When she learned of Cheng Yuheng's true identity, she also weighed the pros and cons.
Although she has the space plug-in, what they are about to face may only be the struggle for the throne in the palace. In that case, the opponent will only be the imperial concubine's lineage. In that case, the chances of winning are very high.
It is also very likely that they will face the entire dynasty. In that case, even if she has the plug-in of space and Cheng Yuheng's Xuanming Army, it will be very difficult. It will largely cause the scene she does not want to see.
Even if Cheng Yuheng succeeds in getting promoted, they will have to face more disparity in status. In order to make her a match, her loving father and second brother study hard every day to get a good reputation. Her eldest brother wants to join the army to earn a military salary, and she knows better than anyone how difficult and dangerous it is.
Moreover, since ancient times, all emperors have had three palaces and six courtyards, and the harem is a means for the emperor to check and balance the previous dynasty. Although Cheng Yuheng promised her, how long can he stick to it when facing reality? She didn't dare to think deeply.
She hated herself for being so insignificant. Her family was invisibly tied to Cheng Yuheng. If she did not rely on Cheng Yuheng at this time, then if someone with ulterior motives found out about her, her Yun family would be in danger of being exterminated.
Every time she saw her family silently giving to her, she felt heartbroken. She could only swear in her heart that no matter what happened in the future, she must protect her family.
Although Cheng Yuheng is a little bit paranoid about her, fortunately he is still very good to her and her family. After she figured this out, she is no longer so obsessed with other things and will just take it one step at a time.
Cheng Yuheng was very smart and knew the secret of her space.
Therefore, she no longer feared him when she acted.
Having experienced it twice, she could naturally tell that Cheng Yuheng's sincerity towards her was not a disguise.
However, despite this, she still maintained a high level of vigilance and rationality. Although Cheng Yuheng had good intentions towards her, she knew that she could not easily bring him into her space, nor could she tell him about the space's automatic replenishment function.
Now all he knew was that the space could be used to store items, and what he took out were what had been put in previously.
This space is the last retreat she leaves for her family.
In this world, her family is the only thing she cherishes and cares about the most. Therefore, no matter what, she must protect the safety of her family.
She felt very tired, so she lay down on the sofa and fell asleep before she knew it.
Just as she slowly woke up, her grandfather walked down from the second floor, "Duoduo, are you really here? If you don't go out, your family will be worried. If you don't go out, Cheng will probably go crazy."
After Cheng Yuheng and his grandfather discussed the next plan, he came out of the tent and saw Qiushou waiting outside. He walked back and forth anxiously, and when he saw Cheng Yuheng, he immediately reported, "Master, Miss Yun is missing."
Cheng Yuheng looked at Qiu Shou with cold eyes, waiting for him to continue.
Qiu Shou didn't dare to look at his master's cold eyes and lowered his head to reply, "Miss Yun went into the mountains alone, and Han Lai followed her and lost her. He searched the nearby mountains and forests but couldn't find Miss Yun, so he came back to report to the master. Seeing that the master was discussing matters with the old master, he didn't dare to disturb them. He asked me to wait here for the master to come out, and he went with Dong Zang and Shu to look for someone."
"Send a signal to call the three people back. I know that I am still very panicked in the space.
He found Yun Chenyang and asked him to look around the Yun family to see if Yun Duo had come back to rest in the tent.
Yun Chenyang searched everywhere, including the carriage, but didn't see Yun Duo, and he was very anxious.
When Han Lai and his companions saw the signal and came back, Cheng Yuheng asked Han Lai in detail about the details and location of his disappearance, and then he told them to do what they were supposed to do.
He found a big tree based on the traces left on the ground, and also found traces of the micro reconnaissance aircraft flying back and scraping the leaves on the tree. He concluded that the cloud might have entered the space here, and without saying a word, he sat on the tree trunk and waited for the cloud to appear.
He never expected that Yun Duo fell asleep in the space. As the sky gradually darkened and Yun Duo had not appeared, he became anxious and wondered if he had made a wrong judgment. Yun Duo did not enter the space here, but based on the traces left here, he did not see anyone else coming here.
His heart became more and more panicked, and in the end it seemed to be still and cold. His hands were tightly gripping the tree trunk, and he didn't feel the blood flowing through his fingers.
