Liangcheng, the old houses on Hongfang Street.
Qin Yue Zhao smiled with satisfaction as she watched Ling Tian En transfer the gold and silver jewelry to Chu Xiao.
"Ling Tianen, you don't have to lead troops now, aren't you quite free?"
Ling Tianen carried several boxes of jewelry, panting heavily from exhaustion.
Hearing this, he thought Qin Yue Zhao was annoyed by his recent laziness, so he quickly explained:
"No, no, although Your Highness has taken back command of my Ling family army, I exercise every morning and evening, and I also help General Huo train the camp at night. I haven't been idle."
"That's not what I meant. I wanted to ask if your residence has many such porcelain pieces?"
"There are quite a few indeed."
"Could you help me collect them?"
"Ah, Your Highness, what do you need these things for?"
"The gods said they would exchange their bowls and cups for these old porcelain items with us."
"The gods want to exchange their bowls for our old porcelain?" Ling Tianen's voice shrilly.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"
"Alright, alright, I'll go prepare now. Your Highness, please wait for me, please wait for me!"

Qin Yue Zhao frowned slightly.
"Very well, prepare the horses, I will personally go out of the city to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wan'er quickly stopped her.
"Your Highness, your injuries have not yet healed. It would be better if you disguised yourself and took a carriage out of the city?"
Qin Yue Zhao thought for a moment.
"Alright, then we'll do it your way."
Not long after, the two set off from the city gate in an ordinary carriage and headed out of the city.
The two walked along the mountain path for nearly an hour.
From afar, one could see countless ragged refugees sitting or lying on the side of the mountain road.
The further out you go, the more refugees gather.
Wherever the refugees went, the tree bark was stripped away, and even the land at the foot of the mountain was dug up three feet deep, until the grass roots were completely removed.
Nevertheless, many refugees remained lying motionless under the trees.
Their faces were withered and emaciated, their bellies were swollen and distended, and they reeked of a foul stench; they were neither alive nor dead.
Upon seeing Qin Yuezhao and Chen Wan'er, many people gathered around with shining eyes.
"Please, ladies, have some food."
