At the end of the refugees, a bearded, muscular man stared at the backs of the soldiers and cursed: "A bunch of bastards, brothers, who is willing to fight with me? I roughly counted and there are about one or two thousand refugees on this road. If they are added together, can't they beat those one hundred imperial soldiers who are living off them?"
Another middle-aged man with a long face had a fierce look in his eyes, "I do!"
Then, everyone around responded.
The bearded man was named Luo Guang. He immediately picked up a branch and started to make arrangements.
"Okay, I'll arrange the work for the brothers. This thin-faced brother..."
The man said, "My name is Chen Sheng."
"Okay, Chen Sheng, you are responsible for spreading the news. Little brother, you are responsible for taking the lead..."
…….
A conspiracy was secretly planned.
After walking for half an hour, Wan Qi waved his hand to signal his men to rest.
A few people were busy making a fire and cooking porridge, and did not notice that the refugees were gradually approaching from all around.
Following a rough roar from afar, the refugees rushed forward like a tide!
At the critical moment of life and death, these refugees showed some bravery and courage, and with their large numbers, Wan Qi and his men were gradually defeated and fled, abandoning their armor and helmets.
Luo Guang looked at the weapons and food scattered on the ground, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
This will be his first step towards becoming king.
He raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, we have weapons and food now. Jingde Town is just ahead. Who is willing to follow me? Beat him! If the imperial court abandons us, we will fight back on our own!"
The refugees were eager to fight.
As the saying goes, the first push is enough, then it will weaken, the third push will be enough!
They all shouted and headed towards Jingde Town!
If the prince knew in the future that the refugees who almost overthrew his kingdom were initially supported by weapons and food provided by his own men, would he be so angry that he would die?
———
Jingde Town, at the town gate.
There were still many refugees pouring in like a tide.
The sun was scorching at noon, and the refugees were all drowsy and walked inside with numb legs.
"Mom, why do we have to go in?"
"There are many rich people in there. You can survive by picking up unwanted vegetable leaves from the market...Be good and hold your mother's hand..."
Amidst the noisy chaos, a loud roar suddenly rang out.
"Go, brothers!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bunch of refugees with bloodshot eyes rushed towards the town gate like wild beasts!
The town envoy's eyes widened and he screamed, "Close the city gates!"
But before he could finish his words, a sharp spear pierced straight into his chest!
The guards at the door were dispersed before they even had time to react.
The refugees led by Luo Guang split into two groups, one rushed into the rich area, and the other rushed to the neighbors selling grain.
The remaining refugees saw the chaotic scene and tried to take advantage of the situation, following Luo Guang and Chen Sheng. They grabbed any food they saw and stuffed it into their mouths.
The scene was chaotic and tragic, and the donated blood dyed the entire ground of Jingde Town red.
In an instant, there were fierce shouts and miserable cries everywhere.
Soon, the entire Jingde Town was captured!
Jingde Town itself is famous for its porcelain and is very rich, with abundant grain, gold and silver, which added a rich touch to Luo Guangchen Sheng's ambitions.
Since the inn was far from the town center, the refugees were the last to go there.
The refugees fought more and more bravely, their eyes were red with killing intent, and naturally they were not something that a dozen guards could resist.
Wan Qi, who was standing by, was frightened to death and quickly took advantage of the chaos to flee from Jingde Town. Almost half of his men died on the way.
On the hillside, Wan Qi looked back at Jingde Town, his heart filled with panic.
How should he report this to the prince?
However, the most urgent task is to find the exile team first.
———
Naturally, nothing that happened in Jingde Town was reported to the exile team.
By evening, everyone set up camp to rest.
Suddenly, forty or fifty people rushed out from the official road in the distance.
Wan Qi saw Chen Daoyu at a glance and ran over in a hurry. His expression was no longer as arrogant as before, and he said humbly: "Mr. Chen, I have caught up with you."
Chen Daoyu narrowed his eyes, "Catch up with us? Hey, the person who was beaten in the inn just now was actually you?"
Wan Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "It's us. We looked so embarrassed that it's understandable that Master Chen couldn't recognize us."
Chen Daoyu calmly passed by the soldiers' empty hands, walked over and hugged Wan Qi's shoulders, "I didn't recognize you, blame me. Now that you're here, sit down and eat."
Wan Qi's face was full of gratitude.
All their supplies were taken away, and now they can only rely on Chen Daoyu to survive.
Thinking about his previous disrespect to Chen Daoyu, Wan Qi's face was full of apology, "Sir Chen, I was young and frivolous before..."
Chen Daoyu waved his hands and said generously: "Don't talk about this. Am I such a petty person?"
Wan Qi gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that he must be loyal to Chen Daoyu in the future.
Looking at Wan Qi who was bowing to him, Chen Daoyu raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of complacency.
His power of control was finally back.
How dare a mere warrior act so arrogant in front of him?
He just used a little trick to control him.
Looking at the soldiers behind Wan Qi, Chen Daoyu suddenly frowned, "Where are the brothers? Why are there only so few people?"
Wan Qi's eyes were full of hatred, and he told Chen Daoyu what happened in Jingde Town.
After hearing this, Chen Daoyu felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
The voice was anxious, "We must contact the Crown Prince! Send people to suppress them immediately! The Beijiang court is already unstable, and it will be bad if the number of refugees keeps growing!"
