Chapter 2019: Troubled times (3) Chapter 2019: Troubled times (3) Hearing this, song qingxiao smiled.
The woman holding the cat saw her expression and seemed to know that she was not satisfied with what she said. She immediately smiled and put her cheek against her catâs head, then continued, â
âLet me tell you about Li guochao.â
Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of startling the cat.
Li Chao was a scholar. He was born in a poor family, but it was said that when he was born, strange phenomena fell from the sky.
there are some strange plants in his house. It is said that they were given to him by a mysterious woman. After they were planted, they didnât move for several years. However, when he was born, those seeds sprouted overnight and bloomed into bowl-sized blood lotuses.
The blood lotus flower bloomed, stars fell from the sky, and the heavenly King was born!
This was the reason why Li guochao called himself a Heavenly King.
After he was born, the Jin dynastyâs government had been on the verge of exhaustion. Disasters occurred all over the country, and corrupt officials ran rampant. The Imperial court had the will but was powerless.
Li guochao went to the Imperial examination several times, but his name was luosun mountain. Since then, he hated the Imperial court and had the intention to rebel.
âThis person is very scheming and has been looking for an opportunity. Four years ago, during the drought, he claimed that the Imperial Star had descended from the sky and revolted.â
He claimed that he didnât pay Tributes and didnât pay taxes. if thereâs land, everyone will plant it. If thereâs food, everyone will share it.
As a result, he attracted quite a few people to join his team.
The people who joined him were all poor people who had no way out. Under the pressure of exorbitant taxes, they only wanted to have a meal to eat and a way out for their families.
As the number of people seeking refuge increased, Li guochaoâs troops gradually expanded. In the end, he led his Army all the way South and soon occupied Liao city.
âHow do you know all this?â Song qingxiao couldnât help but ask.
âHow come I didnât know about this?â When the woman carrying the cat heard her question, she immediately laughed, â
âI was one of the people who went to Li guochao with my parents.â
When she said this, the smile on her face grew bigger, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
As she spoke, she held the cat in her arms and rolled her eyes like a catâs. Under the red light, her eyes seemed to be mocking, â
look at these people around you. Which one of them isnât a supporter of Li guochao? â
These words were a little unexpected to song qingxiao. She raised her eyebrows, but before she could ask, she saw the womanâs eyes curve with a smile.
the king claims that he doesnât pay Tributes, doesnât pay taxes, that he has fields for everyone to grow, and that he shares his grain with everyone. However, in addition, the men in the family have to join the army, and the women are useless, so they have to be divided equally.
Li guochao called himself the nine Heavenly Kings in Liao city. He set up three camps, yellow, white, and red, to imprison women.
Among them, the yellow camp was the most important. The wives and daughters of some of the high officials and dignitaries in Liao city lived there. They were beautiful and loved by him. There were about 50 to 60 people.
The White camp was second. Beautiful and young women were chosen from the camp to be his reserve concubines. In the future, they would fill his yellow camp.
In the red camp, there were women who were old and had lost their looks or had made mistakes. They were sent into the camp and used as military supplies.
âWhat are military supplies?â
Song qingxiao frowned when she heard this.
âYou donât even know about military supplies?â The woman holding the cat was stunned for a moment, then she explained with a smile, â
âWhen an Army is in battle, rations go first.â
Her words contained a lot of meaning, which made song qingxiaoâs face turn cold.
other than that, â the woman carrying the cat did not seem to notice the unfriendly look on her face. She lowered her head and pressed it against the catâs head, saying softly, â
itâs also for the kingâs Army to vent their anger. If theyâre lucky, they might be able to escape from the red camp. If theyâre unlucky, theyâll become ghosts under the knife, being washed and thrown into the pot, becoming food on the plate, in the stomach.â
She laughed, as if she didnât realize what kind of terrible words she had said.
a womanâs life in troubled times is like a floating duckweed. She lives and dies with others. How can it be up to her? â
â..â
Even though song qingxiao had experienced many terrifying trials and had seen malicious ghosts and evil people, her eyes were still cold when she heard the words of the woman carrying the cat. She stepped on the corpse with force.
BOOM! BOOM!
The force passed through the corpse and crushed the foot, making a heavy sound and causing the ship to shake.
The woman, who had been calm when she mentioned the Huang, Bai, and Hong battalions, trembled in fear when she saw the commotion.
The woman tightened her grip on the White cat in her arms. The cat was stimulated and let out a loud meow.
âDonât be afraid, donât be afraid.â
The woman holding the cat disturbed her cat lover and hurriedly reached out to stroke the catâs neck. She made a comforting sound, but she didnât know whether these words were to tell herself not to be afraid, or to calm the cat.
