Emperor, I Am Brutal - C111
She could be considered to have tasted the cold warmth of the world for a while, but Hu Xiao did not care about what they did.
It was just some jumping clowns who thought that they could soar to greatness just by jumping a few more times in front of others. They didn’t mind how exhausted they were.
Originally, they had wanted to use this to embarrass Hu Xiao, but who knew that Hu Xiao would act like nothing had happened, making them feel awkward.
Qin Shuo could see Hu Xiao from far away, but it was useless with too many people by her side, even if they wanted to, they would not be able to do anything.
He didn’t walk too far before he was stopped by someone on the side of the road.
“I beg of you, please do me a favor. My child hasn’t eaten in a long time.”
“Please do your best, we haven’t eaten in a long time.”
“…”
The carriage was in a state of chaos outside. Hu Xiao was originally still sleeping, but now that she was woken up, she became even more agitated.
Opening the curtain, he jumped out just in time to see a soldier kicking a person onto the ground.
Glancing at the child in the woman’s arms, Hu Xiao rushed forward without hesitation.
“How dare you!” Can’t you see the child in this woman’s arms? “Scram for me!”
With a kick, Hu Xiao helped the man up.
“May I ask who you are?”
Looking at the old lady’s disheveled appearance, yellow skin and skinny figure, Hu Xiao could not bear to see that.
She had initially thought that even if she was in a bad situation, she wouldn’t be in such a sorry state. She had also listened to what that person said just now, but now she saw that the soldier was actually punching and kicking this old woman!
When the old woman saw Hu Xiao’s actions earlier, she immediately cried out, as if the child in her arms had felt something. It was only until she heard the figure of the child in her arms that the old woman seemed to react, and immediately knelt down.
I came from the Sui City. A few days ago, a huge calamity happened to the Sui City, so it’s impossible for us to save him.
After saying that, the old lady knelt down and kowtowed with all her might with the child in her arms. Seeing that, Hu Xiao immediately helped the old lady up, and after hearing what was said, Zhi Lan took the food and walked over.
“Before I left, I was afraid that esteemed wangfei would be hungry so I prepared more.”
Hu Xiao nodded her head and asked Zhi Lan to pass the bowl of porridge to the old lady.
Qin Shuo, who was standing on the carriage some distance away, lifted the curtain and returned.
Although that person was a beggar, there were too many people around so he couldn’t take the risk.
“Wei Shi, get someone to send some food to this old lady.”
The old woman accepted the bowl of porridge but did not drink at all. She slowly took a sip of the porridge in her hand and fed it to the child in her arms. The child was about two or three years old, but was not as round as his peers.
Hu Xiao could not bear to see this, but seeing someone give the grain in her hand to the old lady, she turned and returned to the carriage, the old lady also retreated to the side and let the carriage continue on.
Along the way, the atmosphere was gloomy, as if no one had expected something like this to happen.
After thinking about it, Hu Xiao walked towards Qin Shuo’s carriage.
“Your Majesty, are we going through Sui City this time around?”
Looking at the old lady’s appearance, Hu Xiao did not know if the rest of the people in the Sui City were like that, nor did she have ever come into contact with her at such a close distance.
It was unknown how many children there were in the Sui City and how many people were currently suffering from natural disasters.
“However, this city.”
Qin Shuo looked at Hu Xiao, and said slowly.
He already knew what Hu Xiao meant, but now he was a little hesitant. If he passed the Sui City, then it would take some time, but if he passed it, then how would the millions upon millions of commoners in Sui City go about doing!
“Since that’s the case, then let’s take a detour. Since we have been delayed for so long, we might as well continue delaying. The people of Sui City are also the people of His Majesty. Is His Majesty going to let us do as we please?”
[It is fine if you don’t know it, but since you know it, you can definitely do it!]
“Then let’s bypass the Sui City.”
Hu Xiao was very satisfied with Qin Shuo’s words, they should take a detour to the Sui City. Although Qin Shuo was a high and mighty monarch, but a commoner could take a boat or overturn a boat, so Qin Shuo definitely would not give up on a commoner.
Looking at Qin Shuo’s current state, Hu Xiao felt her heart move a little. She rather liked what Qin Shuo had done.
Receiving Qin Shuo’s orders, Zhao Qiyan did not doubt his intelligence at all as he headed in the direction of the Sui City.
When Zhao Qiyan had gone to Qin Shuo’s carriage just now, Zhao Qiyan knew that it was unavoidable for Sui City to travel. After all, one could see everything during the sacrifice of the Southern Patrol to the heavens.
He, Zhao Qiyan, was originally not very grateful towards such people. When the citizens were in trouble, he naturally protected them first, but if high ranking officials like himself took a detour, it would probably hurt the citizens’ hearts.
No one objected. Even if some people disagreed, they did not dare to speak their mind. If they did, it would be a great disrespect. Their citizens did not care and they would have no place in the imperial court in the future.
As he thought about the commoners, the speed of his journey gradually increased.
The Sui City had not seen any carriages enter in a long time, it was as if he was in a business.
As soon as they entered through the gate, they were surrounded, and the leader of the soldiers was in a difficult situation, but the soldier who was punched and kicked by Hu Xiao was actually sent flying, and no one dared to attack him again.
“Everyone, don’t worry. Our master already knows the situation of everyone here. First, make a path for our master to enter the city. After we settle down, we will prepare porridge for everyone to eat.”
Seeing that the carriage was completely surrounded, Hu Xiao instructed Zhi Lan who was beside him. And so, the next scene took place.
It was the first time that a merchant had spoken like this, so the victims who were surrounding the horse carriage all opened up a path when they saw the situation.
It was as if they were afraid that if this person just spoke, those people would just keep following behind the group.
However, after a while, those people who had a good impression of the caravan earlier only dared to follow far behind after seeing the carriage ride towards the Sui City encampment of the yamen.
Although it was noisy, but Hu Xiao heard the important information from the victims.
“Your Majesty, the magistrate court of Sui City seems to have done something incredible.”
Qin Shuo naturally heard a little, and even if he did not hear and look at the scene, he naturally understood a little.
Hu Xiao, who had been knocking on the door for a long time, stood up and walked out of the carriage.
“General Zhao, since you are not opening the door, then just kick him away. There is no need to keep your face any longer.”
Hu Xiao stood outside the door as though she had thought about it for a long time, and said to Zhao Qiyan who was at a loss of what to do.
