Chapter 228: Killing without Pardon

For the first time, I also had the urge to help the people around me.

At this moment, a desperate voice suddenly sounded from next door.

"Stop fighting. We really have no food left."

The sound came from an elderly couple next door, who were also the owners of the yard that Ye Wenxi borrowed.

Perhaps they were frightened by the beating, and suddenly thought of something, and immediately pointed to the next door and said, "They have it."

The man raised his voice immediately as he spoke.

"Yesterday, several important people came to this house and brought two carts full of stuff. There must be a lot of food."

As soon as those words were spoken, Gu Jinxi and the others' expressions changed instantly.

Immediately afterwards, their courtyard door rang again.

"Bang--"

"Bang--"

The violent banging on the door made everyone nervous.

Gu Jinxi's face was calm. He looked towards the door and ordered, "Guard the door. Anyone who comes in will be killed immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the two guards immediately stood inside the door, drew their swords, and were ready to attack.

Gu Jinxi's calm yet ruthless voice startled the doctor, who couldn't help but look at the little Gu Jinxi again.

He originally wanted to remind Gu Jinxi that she must not be soft-hearted at this time.

Because, once those people rushed in and found that they still had food here, I'm afraid the whole house would be razed to the ground.

I didn't expect this little guy to be so decisive. His small body actually carries the ruthlessness and decisiveness of a superior.

“Wow—”

"Bang--"

With a loud bang, the entire door was pushed down.

In an instant, dust flew up.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed in, stepping on the door panel.

When they saw the man standing in the courtyard, they were immediately overjoyed.

"With so many people, there must be food..."

"puff--"

Before he could finish his words, his entire head was chopped off.

The same goes for the people on the other side.

Their heads flew out, but their whole bodies seemed unconscious, and their feet subconsciously took a step forward before they fell to the ground.

The blood on his neck spurted out like a fountain, which was very horrifying.

Such a scene made the refugees behind take a step back instantly and tremble with fear.

joke!

They were just hungry and wanted to find something to eat to survive. Why would they risk their own lives?

They have been doing this all along.

At the beginning, they were quite normal and just wanted others to pity them and give them something to eat.

However, those dignitaries did not treat them as human beings at all. Not only did they not give them food, they also scolded them and even beat them for no reason.

Saying they pollute the air here and obstruct their eyes.

In order to survive, they gathered together and rushed into the wealthy family's house, looting everything in their home.

From then on, they tasted the sweetness and started doing the same wherever they went.

But there were too many of them, and even if they robbed a lot, it would only be a drop in the bucket.

As they went to more and more remote places, there were fewer and fewer wealthy families. If they wanted to survive, they had to reach out to ordinary people.

In this way, their team continued to grow, and gradually, they got used to this way of doing things.

Of course, they encountered a lot of resistance along the way, and casualties were inevitable.

But there has never been a time as horrifying as it is now.

They looked at the two swords in front of them as if they were seeing two sickles, as if their heads could be chopped off at any time.

Look at the child standing calmly in the yard.

It's obviously a little person with a round face and big bright eyes.

However, when the blood spurted out, he didn't even blink.

This made the child seem a bit more weird, which made these people even more frightened. They didn't care about anything and immediately took a few steps back and turned around to run away.

However, the refugees behind them did not see this scene. When they saw the people in front of them running away, they were just confused, but they still rushed in.

By the time they saw the corpse in front of them, it was too late.

Their heads fell off as well.

No matter how many people come, without exception, they either die or run away.

Gradually, all the refugees ran away, and the whole village became quiet again.

Until this time, the doctor, who had been huddled in the corner, not daring to breathe, finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up tremblingly.

"These...are not refugees at all, they are clearly...clearly bandits!"

Although the doctor was aware of the behavior of these refugees, he was far less shocked than seeing it with his own eyes.

"With so many people gathered together and behaving in such a way, they must be being manipulated or directed by someone with ulterior motives.

If we let them continue to grow stronger, I'm afraid..."

The doctor didn't continue to say the rest.

But Gu Jinxi had already guessed it.

"Will someone take this opportunity to start a rebellion?"

As soon as Gu Jinxi finished speaking, footsteps were heard again at the doorway which had been quiet.

It sounds like there's a lot more than just now.

The guards immediately became alert.

Gu Jinxi frowned slightly and looked at Xiaoman.

"Guard the wall."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoman immediately went to the bottom of the courtyard wall.

Lan Xin in the room also heard the noise outside, and came out immediately, consciously guarding under the courtyard wall on the other side.

******

And on the other side at this time.

Chen Hechuan ran day and night for a whole day and night.

His lips were dry, his skin was cracked, his brow was furrowed, and stubble had appeared on his chin.

The whole person looks a lot more vicissitudes of life.

He originally wanted to continue moving forward, but the horse under him was too tired to move.

Tianji saw that the post station was not far away, and then reminded:

"Your Highness, there is a post station ahead. Why don't we go and rest first? Otherwise, the horses won't be able to bear it. When we get to the post station, we can change horses. That way, we will be able to go faster."

Chen Hechuan nodded without comment.

They soon arrived at the post station.

While the horse was grazing, Shen Hechuan leaned against the wall and took a nap with his eyes closed.

At this moment, Tianji rushed in hurriedly.

“Your Highness, there’s news just coming from Tiandu.

There was a severe drought in Qi County, and countless victims flocked to Jizhou.

His Majesty orders you to go to the prefectural governor's office immediately, comfort the victims, and do everything you can to prevent them from approaching Tiandu."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan immediately opened his eyes.

"How long are we from the Jizhou County Governor's Mansion?"

Tianji said: "According to our current speed, it will take at least two days and two nights."

He nodded, stood up, and asked again as he walked forward.

"Where is Jingchun now?"

Tianji paused when he heard this.

"Today's news hasn't arrived yet. Yesterday's news said that Miss Gu and her group had already arrived in Jizhou."

"If we get there in time, we might actually be able to catch up with Miss Gu."
