"Huaiyu," she said, interrupting Feng Jin's thoughts. "Help me."
Feng Jin's heart trembled. "What do you need me for? Just tell me."
Speaking of which, they were not only best friends. Lanting had saved his and his family's lives.
"I want to stay in Shangjing."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Feng Jin said decisively, "No, you should leave as soon as possible."
He did not want his wife and daughter to be implicated. He had no choice but to choose a safer plan, but Jiang Pengji was different.
It was good enough that she did not provoke bandits and mobs. Her safety was guaranteed. She had a high chance of leaving Shangjing for Chongzhou.
"Listen to me first."
"Go on, I'm listening." Feng Jin calmed his emotions.
Jiang Pengji said, "You saw it too. The Emperor wants to give up on the people of Shangjing and choose to move the capital. The imperial guards are his lifeline. He won't let them go easily. We can't expect him to suddenly repent and become a king who loves the people like his own children. Huaiyu, have you thought about how the surviving people of Shangjing will live if we don't do anything? So, I want to stay and help them. "
If the Dongqing Emperor wanted to move the capital, she would move the surviving people of Shangjing.
Feng Jin sighed and poured cold water on her. "Lanting, I know you are kind and virtuous, but you can't do it alone."
What about the manpower needed to save the people?
What about the food that the surviving people needed?
What about the medicine needed to treat the wounded?
That was only the most basic requirement.
What about the dead people's bodies?
It was summer and the corpses were rotting quickly. If they were not handled properly, it would lead to the spread of the plague.
If the plague appeared, there would be a large number of patients. They did not have a doctor who could treat the plague!
Most of the people in the world were fools. They were easily bewitched. Even if Jiang Pengji was dedicated to the people, there would always be people who liked to cause trouble. They could not wait for the food to be distributed, or they criticized her for not doing a good job. They liked to kill and rob. How could they be suppressed?
Even if the above problems were solved, how would she settle the people who were saved?
Shangjing was in ruins. The people were homeless. Even the Emperor was troubled by this mess. She had the guts to take over?
Feng Jin did not know what to say to her.
"Huaiyu, I can do it," Jiang Pengji said plainly.
Feng Jin suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. He looked sharply into Jiang Pengji's eyes. His voice was hoarse and his breathing was heavy.
"You're just a commoner, you can't shoulder such a huge responsibility. If you want to save him, you must take care of everything. Have you thought about how to end this? "
The Emperor of Dongqing had given up on the people and chosen to move the capital. She, as a commoner, dared to go against him. She must be tired of living!
"I know how to end this." Jiang Pengji was as still as a mountain. Her expression did not change at all. "Shangjing City is uninhabitable now. It will take a lot of energy and manpower to rebuild it. Based on the scale of this earthquake, it was likely that it would not only affect Shangyang County, but perhaps an entire province. There is no time to rebuild a home on top of the ruins. So, I want to move them to Chongzhou … "
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Jin's expression changed drastically. He flipped the short table beside him.
The short table flipped in the air and landed heavily on the ground with a clang, waking up Wei Jingxian and Changsheng who had just fallen asleep.
Changsheng's weak cries were heard, her red and wrinkled little face was steaming, her cries sounded extremely aggrieved.
Wei Jingxian lifted the curtain of the tent. She comforted the child while looking at the two of them in fear.
"Husband, Lanting … You …"
Did the two of them quarrel?
"Your husband is fine …" Feng Jin was pulled back to reality. His cold expression turned into guilt. He said in a low voice, "Comfort Changsheng …"
There were aftershocks from time to time. Even adults were afraid, let alone a newborn child.
As the father, he could not control his emotions and flipped the table, scaring the child to this extent. How could he not feel guilty and blame himself?
"Lanting, let's go somewhere further to talk."
Feng Jin's expression returned to normal, but his tone was no longer gentle. It was more strict.
"Okay." Jiang Pengji stood up and followed him.
The audience in the streaming room was frightened by the aura between the two of them. There was a gap in the bullet screen.
Yingyang Kuaixian: "How did the young Feng Jin suddenly become so scary?
In an instant, he transformed from a gentle and noble son to a ferocious man. It scared the babies in the audience to death. "
Beef Soup Bujia Jiang: "Could it be that the streamer said something taboo and guessed his sore spot?"
Laosiji Lianmeng: "Tsk, worrying for nothing." Feng Jin's thoughts were actually quite easy to guess. The streamer did say something taboo. No matter which era it was, rebellion was not forbidden, right? The streamer just hinted that she did not want to put up with the stupid emperor of Dongqing anymore. She wanted to go on her own. The young Feng Jin received an orthodox education. It would be strange if he could accept it so quickly.
Wushi Guanshiyin: "Look at the Dongqing emperor. If he doesn't rebel, he will live through the Qing Dynasty?"
Who's Tiaodan: "Eh, even so, there is no need to be so shocked, right? Look at Xu Ke, his ability to accept is quite strong. "
Yin Yuejia Zhuge Qinmo: "Tsk, but the problem is, does the young Xu Ke know that the streamer is a woman?"
When the bullet screen came out, countless ellipses appeared randomly, as if they did not realize the connection between them.
So what if she is a woman? Did she eat your rice? "
After a long time, when the audience realized what it meant, they were suddenly speechless.
The streamer was a reliable friend in the young Feng Jin's heart. If she was a man, she would naturally be able to show off her skills and plot for the world. After all, the Dongqing emperor was indeed stupid. If he rebelled, then so be it. But the problem was that she was a woman. Feng Jin probably did not have the concept of someone rebelling in his mind.
After a while, one of the audience members told the truth.
Nu Di Jiu Wo: "Why do I feel that … My baby Feng Jin was frightened by the streamer?"
Feng Jin was indeed frightened. His heart was full of complicated emotions. In the end, he accidentally flipped the short table.
"Lanting, why did you …" Feng Jin's expression was indescribably conflicted.
He knew that his best friend was restless and always caused trouble, but he did not expect her to be so ambitious.
"This is good." Jiang Pengji's expression was indifferent. She threw out an excuse. "Can you imagine that one day, I will stay at home to take care of my husband and children? I will help a strange man wash his hands and cook his soup. I will be like a helpless little girl to him all day long, like a good wife and loving mother?"
Feng Jin looked like he had eaten a bug. He said with difficulty, "You don't have to say anymore …"
He lacked imagination. He could not imagine it at all.
If there was a burly man who was like a helpless little girl to her, and if he felt wronged, he would punch her in the chest. That would be more normal.
"So, I can't live the life of an ordinary woman. Huaiyu, I can't be a coward for the rest of my life. I can't marry a woman to hide my identity and then live the rest of my life without thinking, "Jiang Pengji said." I am a human first, then a woman. Since I am a human, why am I not qualified to be the emperor? The emperor is not benevolent, the court is not upright, and the country is on the verge of destruction. Why should I be content with an ordinary life? "
