Most of the people in the city closed their doors, shut their windows, and hid their important money and food.
The refugees who rushed into the city would rush in whenever they saw an open door.
Those citizens who did not have time to close the door to watch the excitement suffered, and secretly hated themselves for opening the door to watch the excitement. Not only did they harm themselves, but they also harmed their families.
Now, without food, how will the family continue to live in the city?
Women and children were hugging each other and wailing loudly. The city was in chaos, noisy, and full of all kinds of shouting and crying.
Chen Wang, who was lying on the wall, looked at the refugees running away with food below and sighed.
"Chen Wang, go to the City Lord's Mansion and tell the City Lord that if the barbarians are not quickly pacified, this matter will get out of control."
Ana Shen's tone was flat, as if he was stating an insignificant topic.
"Yes, Master."
Not daring to delay for even a second, Chen Wang climbed over the wall and left the yard, heading straight for the City Lord's Mansion.
His movements were neither fast nor slow. Whether it was God's arrangement or coincidence, as soon as he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he saw a group of barbarians surrounding the gate, clamoring to open the door.
"You bunch of dog officials, you drove us out of the city just to starve us to death. You will not live a good life."
"You bastard official, you're hiding food!"
"Open the door if you have the guts. Do you think you'll be alright if you hide inside?"
As more and more barbarians surrounded him, Chen Wang had no choice but to make a detour and climb over the wall through the back door to enter the City Lord's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, the secret guards in the city lord's mansion discovered him.
"Who are you to dare to break into the City Lord's Mansion?"
Facing a group of secret guards, Shen Wang's forehead twitched a few times, and he reported truthfully: "I can't enter the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion. There are many barbarians gathered there. My master is Lord Shen, and he asked me to pass on a message."
The secret guards looked at each other, still a little wary, and asked, "Then do you have anything that can prove your identity?"
Chen Wang frowned.
He reached out and took out a blue jade pendant from his bosom.
"You go ahead."
After receiving the consent, Chen Wang strode away without looking back.
At this time, in the meeting hall.
"The barbarians have entered the city. What should we do now?"
Several elderly people spoke with concern. Judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to be worried about the starving people outside, but about their own safety.
"Why not just arrest all the deserters who come in and put them in jail..."
"That's easy for you to say. If we lock them up, we have to give them food and water."
The silent city lord frowned.
He glanced at the faces of everyone in the hall, then closed his eyes and opened them again, saying, "Enough, everyone, be quiet. These barbarians had no intention of entering the city a few days ago, so why today..."
No one spoke, their heads lowered, as if they wanted to hide them in their clothes.
Seeing this scene, the city lord sneered.
"Why on earth is that?"
The ending tone was drawn out, and the people below who heard it broke out in cold sweat.
Dada...
A guard ran into the lobby.
The guard knelt on one knee with a respectful expression and said, "Your Excellency, Lord Shen's subordinates said they have something to tell you personally."
"Quick, let someone in."
The city lord seemed to relax a little, then gave orders in a serious manner.
"Meet the Lord City Lord."
"Please stand up and tell me what your master has to say to me."
Chen Wang stood up, straightened his back, faced those pairs of dissatisfied and strange eyes, and said carefully: "The master asked the city lord to deal with these barbarians as soon as possible."
