Chapter 16: Blocking the Gate (1/2)



In the Zhen'an year, Ganye Palace, at midnight.

Emperor Wu Ji Tianyue, who had just become the emperor, had a splitting headache. He sat on the dragon throne and looked at everyone with displeasure. The emperor had no food left for the next day.

At the end of the previous dynasty, there was a severe drought and flood. One dou of rice cost one tael of silver. The court did not know how to provide disaster relief, and the common people had to trade their children for food.

Later, they could no longer survive and rebelled. Suddenly, the whole world was filled with people raising the banner of rebellion. There were 72 warring factions, and it took 15 years to finish the war.

In fifteen years, Emperor Wu rose from a small vassal to the current founding emperor. Not to mention the hardships involved, the entire world is now completely destroyed.

Only one in ten people survived, young and strong men were almost nowhere to be seen, not a single person was seen in the fields, and thousands of miles of fertile land were not tilled by a single person.

A month ago, Emperor Wu led his troops to capture the capital and entered the palace. The previous emperor left him nothing, no food, no money, only an empty palace.

The killing was so brutal on the day the capital was attacked that the civilian vendors in the capital did not dare to go out all day. No matter how he asked people to shout on the streets, no one paid any attention. None of the shops along the street were open. The most prosperous street in the past was deserted.

It is said that after conquering the world, the people must be restored. He can't just pull out those who are hiding in the house.

There are nearly 100,000 refugees outside the city. It is about to snow, and who knows how many refugees will lose their lives if it snows.

The emperor turned the capital upside down but couldn't find much grain. Looking at this mess, the emperor really wanted to quit.

Tian Yi, the eunuch who was close to him, advised Emperor Wu to take a rest first. Emperor Wu waved his hand impatiently and stood up to go to the door of the hall to get some fresh air.

Suddenly, a ray of light illuminated the sky, streaked across the sky, and landed on the square in front of the Ganye Temple.

The emperor couldn't open his eyes because of the bright light, so he could only put up his hands to cover his eyes.

"There is an assassin, protect the emperor." Tian Bei was startled and shouted at the top of his voice.

It was late at night, and the emperor was frugal, so he only hung a few lanterns in front of the Ganye Hall. When the light fell to the ground, there was a square house. I didn't know what was emitting the light, but it made the entire Ganye Hall seem as bright as day.

With Tian Bei's shout, a team of guards stood in front of the emperor, and the rest of the people surrounded the glowing house with trembling legs.

Before the supermarket landed, Tang Qingxi thought that the supermarket would place him on an open space, after all, the supermarket in the previous dimension landed on an isolated island.

It was not until Tang Qingxi saw the ancient soldiers in heavy armor outside and turned on the surveillance camera that he really wanted to cry for himself. What kind of luck was this? The supermarket actually landed in front of a hall that was obviously used for court sessions, blocking the door.

Can't it fall outside the capital, or somewhere else?

After a long pause, Tang Qingxi pointed at the soldiers outside and said, "We are doing business. How can we tell them we have no ill intentions?"

Sun Jiaojiao used the supermarket lights to observe the outside: "Commander, there must have been a war here not long ago. Look, the eaves are only half-repaired and haven't been repaired yet. The blood in the cracks between the floor tiles hasn't been cleaned up yet."

Tang Qingxi had an even bigger headache. A war had just broken out not long ago, and if he got involved in this again, wouldn't the people outside be even more vigilant?

Ye Qingyi suggested: "Why don't we open the protective shield and let someone in to ask about the situation."

Outside.

The guards, holding spears, were still some distance away from the glowing house, unable to move forward. They poked the air in front of them with their spears, but they could not see anything blocking their way.

Suddenly, a loud voice came from the house in front: "I will open the protective shield and two people with effective words will come in."
