There was still no movement from the imperial court in Beijing, as if it had given up on the southwest region.
Prices in the southwest region soared, and grain, rice and flour became scarcer and more precious than gold and silver.
Refugees began to migrate in large numbers, and each city had to be sealed off, requiring a high entrance fee to enter.
The imperial court began to recruit soldiers, and the people's lives were in dire straits, adding insult to injury.
Various forces are ready to make a move.
On the road to exile, people from the Chen, Wang, and Li families all had difficulty walking.
Probably due to the aftereffects of the itchy blisters on the soles of their feet, everyone was limping as they walked, which looked very funny.
Leader Shen had to slow down.
After walking for most of the day, we finally saw a flat piece of land in front of us, with a shallow stream around it.
Although there were many refugees resting, there was still a lot of open space due to the large area.
Leader Shen looked at the sun and waved his hand: "Let's set up camp! We should be able to reach the dock tomorrow."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh my god, I can finally take a break.
Wan Qi snorted coldly.
He had reached the critical point and could not walk any further.
A group of soldiers sat down in a lazy manner.
After walking for a few days, there was no trace of the majestic and arrogant attitude that he had when he first arrived in Qingshan.
Wu Daqiang, who was standing by, saw this and rolled his eyes in disdain.
A group of soldiers couldn't even walk fifty or sixty miles.
If they were his men, they would definitely be punished by military law, or at least be dragged to the martial arts training ground to be skinned alive!
Gu Wei saw through his thoughts at a glance, "All the young soldiers in Shangjing are like this."
Wu Daqiang snorted heavily, "No wonder you applied to go to the North for training when you were twelve years old. It seems that you are used to seeing people like this."
Gu Wei nodded and looked at the refugees in the distance, "Did you see those refugees? What do you think?"
Wu Daqiang was just a burly military general who only knew how to deploy troops on the battlefield. He had no idea of Gu Wei's profound meaning.
He scratched his head and said, "How do I watch it? I can watch it while sitting or standing."
Gu Wei was both amused and angry, and called Xu Xingzhi over.
"Xingzhi, explain it to him carefully."
Xu Xingzhi cupped his hands, "The flood in Beijiang has just subsided, but a large-scale famine has begun again... The mountains and rivers are broken, and the refugees are rioting and rising up in the near future."
Wu Daqiang opened his eyes wide, "Xingzhi, you are really amazing! The refugees' uprising is a big event. It is said that the ancestors of Beijiang made their fortune by uprising. It will definitely be very chaotic...
Wu Daqiang suddenly had an idea: "Oh right, we can take advantage of the chaos to escape."
Gu Wei rolled his eyes briefly.
"Not bad, at least I can draw inferences from one example."
That's what he thought.
It is only a matter of time before the Beijiang refugees riot and revolt. That time will be the best time to escape!
Xu Xingzhi, who was standing by, bowed modestly and said, "Thank you for your compliment."
Shi Daqiang scratched his head and chuckled.
As they were talking, they heard the women calling them from the other side.
"Come and light the fire, wash the vegetables, and cook!"
The three of them didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and hurried over to help.
During the meal, people did not chat while eating like they did in the past, but ate in silence and cleaned up quickly.
Because there were so many refugees nearby, everyone's eyes were green.
They couldn't save them, they could only try not to cause them any irritation.
"Why are there so many refugees nearby?"
After dinner, Xie Ling asked.
Gu Wei frowned slightly, "There is a town nearby that is famous for making porcelain. The economy is relatively prosperous, so most of the refugees go this way."
Xie Ling nodded in understanding.
With a casual glance, I suddenly saw two men in strange clothes not far away. They were also setting up camp and preparing to rest.
The style of clothes they wore was quite similar to the cold fox they met before!
Gu Wei also saw it. He was knowledgeable and recognized it immediately.
He whispered, "They are from Dongling Country."
Xie Ling frowned. The two men were dressed in luxurious clothes and did not look like businessmen. Why did they come to Beijiang at this time?
The news of the return of the heirs of the Murong and Nangong families should be considered explosive news in Dongling.
Will those two people know?
Xie Ling narrowed her eyes, motioned for Gu Wei to watch, and then she used her wind ability to float over.
