Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu stopped to help again, but this time they couldn't stay for too long.
As the day approaches, the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River is about to arrive.
"Once the rainy season arrives, the rain will not stop. The people will suffer. The river will rise and submerge their property, which will harm them. We should find a way to get them to a higher altitude now."
Chi Mu sighed, "I walked around during the day and tried to persuade a few people, but they didn't want to leave. Some even said they would rather die here."
"What's the story here?"
Shen Yuerong found it strange. Even if she loved this land too much, she would not risk her life for it.
"I was also curious, so I asked someone a few questions and found out that this was where their ancestors had lived for generations. A few years ago, the imperial court requisitioned the land, and it had been taken away. But because the people here were too persistent, the local officials had no choice but to return the land to the people."
People love this land and their hometown, so they want to protect the few remaining human connections they have all the time and don't want to leave this place at all.
Shen Yuerong naturally understood, so she instructed her men, "Since they don't want to leave, then don't leave. Try your best to help the local people and take all precautionary measures. As for how many of them can survive in the end, it all depends on their own luck."
Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu both wanted to save their lives, but they just refused to do so.
In the several small towns they passed through along the way, Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu provided more or less assistance. Those who wanted to follow them naturally followed them, and those who did not want to leave with them were not forced.
Until you reach the highest point in this area.
Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu looked up at this city that was different from the towns they had encountered before. At this moment, it was where the greatest anger in their hearts was gathered.
There were many refugees gathered at the gate. They were probably from villages that had been destroyed or people who had fled here.
But the troops who were supposed to rescue them thrust their spears into the ground and forcibly created a distance between them.
In broad daylight, several villagers begged to go into the city, but they were either beaten and thrown out, or scolded.
Shen Yuerong was not in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, she hid in the dark and watched those people's attitude towards the people.
Never curse at others if you can take action.
This is too much.
However, they had been on the journey, and the soldiers following behind them were already a little tired. The most important thing at the moment was to find a safe place where they could recuperate.
But she didn't want these innocent people to be abandoned.
"As long as you show your identity, the two of us will definitely be able to enter, but what about these innocent people? Are we going to throw them out of the city and let them starve to death like these people?"
Chi Mu sighed, "I'll go discuss it with them first."
Just when Shen Yuerong was about to say that this was useless, she saw that the person had already walked out. Maybe it was possible.
Chi Mu showed his badge and waited for someone to report to him.
In the city's largest den of brothel, several adults were eating and drinking well, but when they heard this, they laughed loudly.
"What prince? Just because anyone with a badge on his waist is holding a prince, you believe he is the prince? Then I'll say I'm still the king of heaven, tell him, no matter who it is, no one is allowed to enter the city. Now these things are not enough for us to eat, and if one more comes, won't we starve to death? Let those who can't afford to eat get out of here and don't get in my way."
"yes."
After receiving a rejection, Chi Mu came over aggressively. Seeing this, Fu Hengyu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that one day the prince's status would not be good? Do you need help online?"
Those officials are from the prince's lineage, and Fu Hengyu is the best choice.
He refused, however, and instead ordered a siege on the city.
“That’s a bit impulsive.”
Shen Yuerong reached out and grabbed his arm, trying to stop him from doing such an impulsive thing.
"Rongrong, wait for me to come back."
Shen Yuerong finally believed him and let go of that hand, while Qinghua Taohua stood by her side to protect her.
Her eyes followed the man's figure closely.
"What did you say?"
After hearing the news again, the gentleman was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a confused look on his face. "You said that this city is surrounded by the prince's personal soldiers?"
The man didn't dare to say anything nonsense and nodded quickly, "I saw the words on the flag with my own eyes, it was Mu."
The gentleman took a deep breath and quickly got up from the ground. "What are you still looking at? Hurry up and get me my official uniform and help me wash up. Now, let's go meet our real prince."
By the time the adult was running out of breath, his patience was almost gone without a trace.
Seeing that the person finally came out, he said in a bad tone, "Since the Lord is unwilling to let me enter the city, then I can only use my own methods?"
"I don't want to do it anywhere."
The gentleman reached out his hand, straightened his official hat, and quickly knelt on the ground, "Greetings, Your Majesty. It is because the people below are blind and do not know the great man that such a misunderstanding occurred. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"I'm too lazy to argue with you."
He sighed, "Either open the gate and let me in, or I open it myself. Your choice."
"Of course I open it. I open it."
The official stood up again and gave orders, asking the people behind him to quickly open the door.
Chi Mu rode in first and looked at the people gathered at the city gate. "You should follow me in. If anyone stops you, my soldiers will kill them all."
"yes."
Although the lord did not want to let these poor refugees enter the city, he did not dare to disobey them in the slightest. He could only watch these people who were isolated by him rush into the city like a swarm of bees.
Soon the originally empty streets were filled with people. They were looking for food and places to live, and soon some fights broke out.
Chi Mu quickly arranged for people to maintain order.
"I promise that if you follow me, you will have food to eat, a place to sleep, and clothes to wear. Don't be too anxious, please wait patiently."
Since he had promised, he would definitely not go back on his word. He then arranged everything properly before returning to the house that the adult had arranged for him.
Seeing how clean the room was and even how exquisitely burnt the incense on the bed was, he hated those adults even more.
"Everyone I see wants to eat the flesh of their own relatives, but they are still here enjoying the life of a superior person. They are a damned bunch!"
But they are still useful now.
