Gu Ying didn't say a word at all, like an elusive spirit behind him, clinging tightly to the back of the tall man, his fists not leaving the big hole of his life, but he couldn't touch it.

His intention is even more simple and rude, that is, he is telling the tall man with his actions: I can kill you at any time!

The situation became stalemate for a while.

Qin Xiaofeng suddenly turned around and faltered at Gu Ying, but he twisted his feet in the opposite direction.

Mo Ruyue and Gu Ying closed their hands almost at the same time, and looked at the tall man with a leisurely attitude. The doors were wide open and full of flaws, as if they were tempting him to rush in again.

"Who the hell are you? Hurry up and report your name!"

Qin Xiaofeng's eyes were more cautious and less arrogant and contemptuous, but he was still quite vigilant towards Mo Ruyue and the two of them.

"We're just two little people. We've never met you, and we shouldn't have made the river water. But since you provoked first, we're not soft persimmons, and we won't let you be at your mercy."

Mo Ruyue said neither humbly nor arrogantly, she could not see that she had any fears about Qin Xiaofeng's identity.

"Since you are a commoner, you should know that talking about the affairs of the court is a serious crime. It is not that the prince is provoking you, but that you have already broken the law first."

Qin Xiaofeng didn't know why he wanted to explain to these two people, maybe it was their skill that made them have the right to have an equal dialogue with him.

"Oh? To tell the truth, is it just arguing about the affairs of the imperial court?"

Mo Ruyue raised her eyebrows and said lightly sarcastically, "I don't want to be criticized, but come to the rescue sooner!"

Qin Xiaofeng's face froze, and he was speechless by Mo Ruyue's words.

It has been more than a month since the natural disaster suddenly fell before the Lantern Festival, and now the relief materials from the imperial court have been shipped to the disaster-stricken areas in the south.

To put it horribly, even if there were some who escaped from the natural disaster by chance, in the following period of time because of lack of clothing, food, cold and starvation, I don't know how many, and they have long since turned into bones.

"The imperial court... It also takes time to raise food and property for disaster relief."

Qin Xiaofeng didn't say a word for a long while, but he felt that his words lacked confidence, so that his voice was almost inaudible by the end.

"Yes, it takes time for the imperial court to raise materials. I dare to ask the Marquis, how long does it take for a person to starve to death? No matter how long it takes for a strong man to starve to death, how long does it take for an old and weak woman and child to starve to death?"

"Or maybe they can survive just by drinking the northwest wind, until someone in the court comes to rescue?"

Mo Ruyue's sarcastic tone was even worse.

She also felt extremely ironic in her heart, such words came from the mouth of a former top killer.

A person who once ignored life the most is now running and speaking for the survival of another group of unrelated people.

It's really a big world, there are no wonders.

Qin Xiaofeng was completely silent, and after a long time, he clasped his fists to Mo Ruyue and said, "In Qin Xiaofeng, seeing that the two of you are from the south, you must know a lot about the situation there, and I hope you can give me some advice."

He is a man who can bend and stretch!

Mo Ruyue and Gu Ying looked at each other and saw the same conclusion in each other's eyes.

I originally thought that this man was just a reckless man with a self-reliant identity, but it was rare that he could lower his posture so quickly in his identity as a prince.

"Master Qin, I want to know, do you really know nothing about the disaster in the south? It's been more than a month since the natural disaster happened. Didn't you send someone to the disaster site to find out?"

Mo Ruyue did not answer his words immediately, but instead asked a sharp question.

"Such a natural disaster, how can we not send people to personally investigate. Many towns in the south have lost contact with the government, and it is difficult to count the number of casualties. The imperial court's disaster relief should naturally start from the worst-affected places."

"I receive the latest disaster report every day, and I am worried. Those are all my people, and there is no danger of being injured or killed by the disaster, but someone Qin can only do nothing. It's really..."

Qin Xiaofeng's eyes showed deep pain, it seems that the words just now came from his heart, not just a cliché to set off his image.

"We come from a small county town in the south, which is a hundred miles away from Pingcheng. It is the place with the most serious natural disasters. The entire county town has been completely destroyed."

"There are not a dozen nearby villages and towns, and the scene is extremely tragic. My husband and I escaped a catastrophe by chance before. After the natural disaster, we returned to our hometown to rescue, but our ability was limited, and there were very few people who could be rescued."

After Mo Ruyue heard what he said, she happily told what she had seen and heard during this time.

"Master Hou, Xiao is willing to be a witness!"

A firm and steady voice came from the carriage, the door of the carriage opened, and Deng Feng stepped out of the carriage and clasped his fists respectfully to Qin Xiaofeng.

"Who are you?"

"The little one belongs to this lady... Righteous brother, before the natural disaster suddenly struck, it was my righteous sister and brother-in-law who saved the only survivors in the county, including the little one."

"Afterwards, I was honored by the righteous sister, and I took the little one to the north, and saved many victims along the way. The little one would like to guarantee that everything is true, and there is no falsehood!"

Qin Xiaofeng nodded frequently after Deng Feng's words.

He could tell from the firm look in his eyes that this commoner man was telling the truth.

"Dare to ask the three honorable names?"

Qin Xiaofeng clasped his fists again and asked.

"The youngest name is Deng Feng, my sister Mo Ruyue, and my brother-in-law Gu Ying."

Deng Feng also got Mo Ruyue's acquiescence, so he told them their names one by one.

"This lady is Mo Ruyue? Lady Qin?"

Qin Xiaofeng's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Mo Ruyue in surprise, and then there was a deep doubt in his eyes.

"Miss Qin should be the widow of a centurion named Qin Ming? Why is there another husband?"

He looked at Gu Ying up and down, and some of the kindness that he had initially released slowly subsided.

Of course Mo Ruyue knew the meaning of Qin Xiaofeng's eyes, and immediately retorted: "I am a widow, so I can remarry, why can't I have a new husband? Is it because my ex-husband is a centurion, I have to be a widow for him. For a lifetime?"

"Women should keep their chastity, this is the rule of secular etiquette, shouldn't everyone abide by it?"

Qin Xiaofeng's brows twitched into a pimple. Obviously, he is a very old-fashioned "old-fashioned" who is deeply poisoned by etiquette.

Mo Ruyue sneered and said sarcastically: "Did the etiquette ever say that the deceased wife is absent, and the man should keep her chastity? Why don't you give the man a chastity memorial? How many men's wives are married before they die, and what is the reason?"

"This... the man should continue the incense for the family..."

Before Qin Xiaofeng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mo Ruyue.

"Forget it, it's better to leave these words to deceive ghosts, so you don't need to tell me. Besides, it's my business whether I want to be a widow or not, so I don't bother Lord Qin."

Having said that, the atmosphere is already very stiff, but at this time Gu Ying also came to "add fuel to the fire".

"Marrying a wife and marrying a person is something that I and Bing'er want to do. I can't stand others, so just shut up if you want to say anything. No one cares what you think."
