Chapter 537 The best way is to stop the war
The inner city is as bustling as ever.
As soon as we entered the city gate, all kinds of shouting and cursing came towards us.
"It's Chinese New Year and a happy occasion, and you think I'm giving you face just because I'm being nice to you today? You dare to come to my place and eat for free? Don't you even ask who I am, Zhao Laosi!"
"Hey, hey, hey, get out of the way! The car is carrying valuable goods destined for Wangque Tower. If you bump into it, you'll lose money and your life! Let's see who's blind!"
"I'll take orders from anyone who wants to kill or rob someone, and I won't bargain. No need to worry, poor souls, please don't come!"
"Butcher, can you please pull the human skins hanging in front of your shop inside? They're frozen like wooden boards, hitting people's heads back and forth! Believe it or not, I'll peel those skins off!"
"You bastard surnamed Li, stop right there! You were the one who ran away from my shop yesterday, weren't you? One hundred and twenty copper coins each, give me the money! If you're one copper coin short, I'll cut off your flesh to pay you back!"
Tianbao and Du Lao both had shining eyes, and their fresh and excited expressions were exactly the same as Nianniansuisui's.
The poisonous old man rubbed his hands together and said, "What a great place! What a great place! I should have come here a long time ago! I really missed this treasure land!"
Tian Bao's hands and heart itched, "Can these people with knives and sticks withstand a beating?"
Bai Yu and the others, "..."
The evil people running around, "..."
The evildoers scattered.
What the hell.
They carried knives and sticks and deliberately ran back and forth several times, just to see from close range whether Tianbao and the old man were safe.
It’s okay for the old man to stir up trouble, but I can tolerate his minor quarrels.
But Tianbao actually wants to beat them?
If you don’t run quickly, you’re going to break your arms and legs!
The bustling street suddenly became quiet for unknown reasons, and there were fewer people around. Tianbao sighed and looked regretful.
They all shouted so fiercely, but it turned out to be empty talk.
Bai Yu twitched his little finger and suppressed his smile, "Want to fight? There's an arena in Liangjifang."
Tian Bao sighed and waved his hands, "Forget it, most people are no match for me, it's boring to fight."
Wei curved his lips and said with a smile, "It's true that fighting with ordinary people is boring, but there are also capable fighters in the inner city. The might of the Demon Emperor of the Killing Palace can shake the twelve kingdoms, and he can even easily remove the heads of the Emperor of Nansang. Tianbao, why are you going to the far end instead of the near one?"
"Brother, you are so kind to me. As your junior disciple, I dare not be modest." Bai Yu's expression remained unchanged, his peach blossom eyes curved and harmless. "But my senior sister, my senior brothers, and I have been out there for many years, and we all know the strengths and weaknesses of our martial arts. It has never been a secret. But Brother Wei, we seem to have never seen your limits."
The three brothers of the Su family watched the fun from the sidelines, not caring about anything that had anything to do with them.
Little Wheat Ear has deep grievances against both of them, as they are both stumbling blocks on her way to following her sister.
Xiaomai folded her arms and smiled chillingly, "Isn't this easy to handle? You two should go play with me. I've finally come back, and anyone who spoils her fun is being mean to me!"
Bai Yu, Wei Li, "..."
I forgot, the obstacle that jumped the most happily was the junior sister.
The old man looked left and right, and finally touched Wang Bai and Shi Ying's heads, "You two are still the best. You two never talk nonsense."
Everyone, “…”
It was the “first time” to come to Fengyun City. There were so many fun and interesting things to do. Tianbao did not waste time fighting. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Besides, Bai Yu and Wei Li were both cunning and she was too lazy to listen to their endless excuses.
After a tour of the south and north cities, the last group stepped into the Wangque Tower to help their own people.
As soon as she stepped into the lobby on the first floor, she heard some fresh gossip. Tianbao directly chose a seat in the corner of the lobby to listen to everything.
"I, Wang Laowu, am very tight-lipped. I haven't revealed a single word about my exile. I only go to the teahouse in the border town to hear about current events outside. There's war going on everywhere right now. If I don't ask around, the news won't reach us."
"Even without you telling me, I can guess what you're hearing. Are those surrounding countries, big and small, in chaos?"
"It's chaotic! How could it not be chaotic? There are so many refugees coming to our Dai Viet border checkpoint right now, begging and kowtow, hoping to enter Dai Viet for asylum. I heard there are tens of thousands of them."
"The only relatively stable areas right now are Xiling and Dai Viet. Xiling has always been closed to the outside world, and the refugees can't find refuge there, so naturally they all flock to Dai Viet. But how can the border officials let the refugees in without the emperor's order? They can't get in."
"It's more than that! It's worse than you can imagine. The people of the neighboring countries who were ravaged by the calamities had to travel at least a thousand miles to reach Dai Viet, not only trekking through mountains and rivers, but also avoiding areas of war. Most of those fleeing were ordinary people. How much money could they possibly save? When they fled, they often brought their families with them, barely enough to afford the journey. Countless people died along the way, huh."
The waiter in the building served the dishes, put them down one by one, and then retreated respectfully.
Bai Yu picked up the chopsticks and put Tianbao's favorite dishes into her bowl. His face was indifferent, his eyelids were slightly drooping, and there was no emotion in his eyes, not even a trace of emotion.
Wei Li pursed her lips and glanced at him without saying much, but she was much more silent during the meal.
Su An, Su Wen and Su Wu looked the same, but there was a complex look in their eyes.
The same was true for the wheat ears, and even the simplest Bing'er's breath became a little heavier.
The only ones who were ignorant and unaware were Wangbai, Shiying, and Nian Nian and Sui Sui, who were less than four years old.
The lively atmosphere before the group seemed to be suddenly interrupted, making people feel uncomfortable.
Tian Bao picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it into his mouth, saying calmly, "Wei Li, after the New Year, you can go back and be the emperor."
Wei Li looked up, smiled, and nodded.
"Come on, Ali, while you're still here, tell Grandpa in advance: will you let them in when you get back?" The old man wasn't completely heartless; he still had some sympathy. "Those people came all the way here, walked thousands of miles. Maybe their parents died on the way here. The ones who can't bear it the most are the delicate little kids... Oh, that's pathetic. Will you take them in?"
Wei Li paused, his gaze sliding over the unperturbed figure across from him again. After a moment, he spoke, "Daiyue's territory isn't vast, nor is its national strength exceptional. If they were to take in refugees from various nations seeking asylum, once the city gates were opened, tens of thousands, or even more, would pour in. Daiyue would need to provide them with food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, which wouldn't be an easy task."
He said, "If we want the people to live in peace, taking them in can only help a portion of them, temporarily. The people of the world are so numerous that Da Yue alone cannot help them all. The only way to restore their peace is to stop the war."
