Less than ten days later, the emperor issued another decree to cancel the ban on grain shops, and the capital finally returned to its former tranquility.

On the other hand, Lu Yanluo took advantage of the lifting of the ban and the opportunity when the people in the city were scrambling to stock up on food, and once again sent people to buy large quantities of food.

With the protection of the people, we were finally able to buy enough food and get through this difficult time.

In a villa outside Beijing.

Aleshilan and other Fengxi people have lived here for more than ten days. Someone delivers meals to them on time every day. Compared with the days when they begged on the streets before, their life now is like a god's life.

It's just that after people have eaten their fill, they start to have wild thoughts. In recent days, strange noises have begun to be heard in the courtyard.

"We have lived here for so long, and they neither told us why they brought us here nor let us leave. Isn't this clearly a way to imprison us? In my opinion, these people are not much worse than those from the government before, and they must have some plan for us!"

"Shut up!" Aleshilan couldn't help but feel unhappy when he heard a young man complaining next to him: "People give you food and clothes, what else do you want? Do you want to go back to the days when you were begging on the street and hungry all day long?"

"I... I didn't mean that." The young man was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to be called an ungrateful person, but he was really tired of being locked up here every day and unable to go anywhere.

"Brother Shi Lan, don't you find it strange? They give us food and find us a place to stay for no reason. Why? Are there really such good people in the world? Do you dare to say that they are not plotting something?" The young man did not give up and continued to lobby.

Aleshilan fell silent and did not continue to refute. He still remembered that the man had suddenly come to him and said that as long as they went back with him to see his master, he would give food to everyone.

He went to see them and answered some questions, but what was the result? When he turned around, they were arrested by the government and thrown into jail, where they were subjected to endless humiliation and harsh treatment.

But in the end, it was him and another strange woman who brought them out of the prison. Aleshilan was a little confused. He couldn't figure out what was going on. He also couldn't figure out whether it was right or wrong to follow that person that day.

"Why don't we... why don't we escape!" The young man looked at everyone present and said excitedly, "Since we can travel thousands of miles from Fengxi to Tianji, we can also leave here and find a new place to stay. Although the journey is hard, at least we are free, which is better than being locked up in this world without freedom."

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at each other, some undecided. Although there was no freedom here, at least they could eat and dress warmly every day. If they left here, where else could they go?

Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, the young man continued to encourage them, "I saw where they stored the food. Before we leave, we can take all the food with us. This way, we won't starve before we find the next place to stay. Look at your friends, family, and children around you. Do you want them to be locked up here for the rest of their lives?"

Silence spread in the yard. Everyone was struggling. Of course they wanted to be free, but freedom should be preceded by having enough food and clothing.

"Okay! I'll go with you!" Just when everyone was hesitating, Aleshilan suddenly spoke, stood up and looked at the young man in front of him.

"Let's leave here. There are many countries around Tianji Country. We can go to other countries. We can't be locked up here forever. One day, we have to return to Fengxi, to our hometown!"

"Yes! Let's leave!" With a leader, the others quickly agreed to leave, but before leaving, they still needed to make careful plans.

On that day, Lu Yanluo dressed up in disguise and came to the villa. The people of Fengxi had already settled down here. The next step should be to discuss how to send them back to Fengxi, because the Yewang Mansion could not support them forever.

When Lu Yanluo arrived, Aleshilan and a group of people were gathered in the yard, discussing how to leave Tianji. Lu Yanluo's sudden arrival made everyone panic.

The tension in the yard was tangible, making Lu Yanluo alert. She glanced at everyone present casually, and everyone had evasive eyes and a panicked look.

Lu Yanluo had a hunch that there must be something wrong with this group of people. After inspecting the villa, she decided to sit back and wait and see what happened. She wanted to see what this group of people were going to do.

Soon, Lu Yanluo led people away from the villa.

After leaving the courtyard, Lu Yanluo's face darkened, and she ordered the secret guards around her, "Go and keep an eye on the people in the courtyard and see what they are going to do. Report to me at any time."

The secret guard responded and left, soon disappearing around the corner of the courtyard.

Before evening, the secret guards guarding the villa came back to report that something was indeed going to happen in the villa.

"I secretly heard them planning how to leave the other courtyard. From what they said, the master restricted their freedom and locked them up. He intended to do something bad to them, so they wanted to rebel against the master and leave the other courtyard."

"Ridiculous!" Lu Yanluo was so angry that she immediately stood up and rushed towards the villa with a menacing momentum.

She and Chu Xuan took great pains to rescue this group of people from the fire pit, but it turned out that this group of people not only did not know how to repay their gratitude, but they even planned to repay their kindness with enmity. It was really infuriating!

When Lu Yanluo arrived at the gate of the villa, the people in the yard had not yet dispersed. Some people did not want to give up their current comfortable life, so they refused to leave with Aleshilan and others.

The two sides were deadlocked. The young man who had been persuading everyone to leave continued to swim and said, "You better think about it. If you stay here, you might die one day. Since you will be killed if you stick your head out, why not give it a try for the future, just in case we can leave smoothly!"

"This... But if we leave, won't we have to live a life of wandering again?"

The young man snorted coldly and said proudly: "If I were you, no matter how difficult the future is, I will fight for myself. It is better than being a prey to others and living in fear all day long."

Several people looked at each other, and finally lowered their heads in agreement. It was obvious that they were successfully induced by this person, and they agreed to leave.

Lu Yanluo hid in the dark, watching everything. She stared at the young man who was lobbying everyone and asked, "Who is this person? Why do I feel like I have never seen this person before?"

Lu Yanluo felt strange because she didn't remember saving this person.
