Ling Tianen was unaware of these things and thought that the princess did not trust him, so he worked even harder.
Only after placing the last set of porcelain into the treasure basin did he finally walk up to Qin Yue Zhao, panting heavily.
"Your Highness, I... I've moved them all, and I didn't break a single one!"
Qin Yue Zhao nodded in satisfaction and sent a message to Chu Xiao:
"By the gods above, Yue Zhao is sending you this message for now. The porcelain from the common people has been collected by Steward Chen and has not yet been sent back to the General's Mansion. Please wait a little longer, gods."
Just then, Chen Wan'er rushed over from the direction of the city gate.
"Your Highness, please go and see! The refugees have gathered at the city gate, clamoring to enter the city!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue Zhao immediately looked at Ling Tian En.
"Take some food and water, and go to Qinglong Mountain disguised as a merchant."
"Remember, take a few trustworthy guards with you, and report back to the city immediately if anything happens!"
Ling Tianen's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly.
"Your Highness, rest assured, this humble general will thoroughly investigate the situation at Qinglong Mountain and will not let you down!"
However, when he reached the door, he stopped and turned to Qin Yue Zhao, grinning, "Your Highness, if I successfully complete the mission, could you ask the gods to grant me some children's items?"
Madam Ling is about to give birth. He has already mistreated his first two children and doesn't want to mistreated this one as well.
Qin Yue Zhao smiled.
"Very well, as long as you return safely, I will grant your wish."
This is not only Ling Tianen's hope, but also what she wants to discuss with the gods next.
There are quite a few orphans in Liangcheng now, and she does need to consider this issue.
Having received the promise, Ling Tianen solemnly bowed to her.
Whether it's to prove his abilities or to improve his family's quality of life, he will definitely go all out to conquer Qinglong Mountain!
Qin Yue Zhao watched him leave, then turned and followed Chen Wan'er toward the city gate.
At the city gate, on the city tower.
Huo Tingye looked at the huge crowd below and shouted loudly:
"Citizens of Great Wei, citizens of Great Liang, please step back fifty meters. Her Highness the Princess has a way to settle you!"
However, the emaciated refugee pleaded in a hoarse voice:
"General, we have passed through countless cities along the way, and their garrison generals said the same thing."
“But even after we dug out the tree roots and stripped the bark off the trees at the city gate, they still wouldn’t open the gate.”
"General! My whole family has starved to death. Please have mercy and give me a bite to eat. I'll do anything for you!"
Some elderly people with white hair were also moved to tears:
"General, didn't Princess Da Gan post a notice in Wei saying that as long as we come, we will be provided with food?"
"We're already here, why won't they let us in? Did Princess Da Gan also deceive us?"
There were also women kneeling on the ground, wailing and crying, holding their children:
"General, I beg you, please save my daughter! She's only three years old!"
Thousands of refugees knelt down, their heads slamming against the ground with loud thuds.
Huo Tingye hurriedly raised his hand, "Gentlemen, I have already said that when the princess arrives, you must not kowtow! You must not kowtow..."
Just then, a fast horse came to a steady stop below the city.
Qin Yue Zhao, clad in armor, leaped down.
"Open the city gates! I wish to leave the city and speak personally with the people of both countries!"
Huo Tingye ran down from the city wall.
"Your Highness, I know you are compassionate towards the refugees, but you cannot go out!"
"No one can guarantee there aren't enemy assassins there. Even if there aren't, what if they storm into the city? Should we stop them or not?"
