Just as Jing Yuchen said, even if King Tufan knew very well that she and Jing Yuchen existed in the imperial city, it was really difficult to find the person he was looking for in the imperial city because of the large number of people and the vast area.
Some people have started to starve and have become beggars, begging for a living. If it were normal times, with free entry and exit of the imperial city, naturally many people who have enough food and clothing would choose to give alms, but now the situation is turbulent, and people have become even more stingy.
"Sir, please be kind and give me some alms!"
But the other party had a look of being short of money: "I want it too, I can't even survive. If you have money after leaving the city gate, then find a way to leave the city gate. Outside the city gate, you will find a way to survive!"
The people who heard this began to cry pitifully: "If I could leave the city, I wouldn't stay a moment longer..."
There were more and more refugees in the city, which led to rising prices. The once prosperous and peaceful imperial city became increasingly chaotic. Some ministers advised the king that only those who passed the body search could leave the imperial city, and limiting the number of people per day could also ease the current situation.
King Tufan knew that Duan Gouqiong and others had left, which was equivalent to giving Canglie the opportunity to fight. He frowned and was unwilling to give in.
But there was nothing they could do to alleviate the current predicament, so they finally compromised.
When the people in the city learned that they could only leave the city gate in limited numbers, they were overjoyed and rushed to the city gate to line up early.
Inside the inn, Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen stood by the window, looking down, feeling helpless and sighing, "Releasing a handful of people every day gives the people still in the city hope, so they won't rush to cause trouble!"
I wanted to wait and see if those people would take the initiative to cause trouble, but I didn't expect the king to come up with such a strategy.
Jing Yuchen's evil face grew serious, and then he raised his lips slightly, "No problem, then let's help it!"
The people who were originally behaving well, a woman fell down, and someone hurriedly ran forward, anxiously shouting: "Madam, wake up, wake up!"
The man then said anxiously to the officer, "My mother has fainted. My hometown is outside the city, and my mother's medicine is at home. Sir, can you let me take her home first?"
At this time, the line was obviously very long. If this man wanted to leave the capital, it might not be his turn yet.
A soldier said impatiently: "If you want to leave the city, you have to follow the rules!"
Someone standing in front of the man sneered, "He really wants to get out. He's got all kinds of people, even someone who lets his mother pretend to be sick!"
"That's right, my family's situation is urgent. The doctor in our village couldn't save my father, so I came to the city to get medicine for him. But who knew the whole city was under martial law and we weren't allowed to leave the city gates... I don't know if I have lost my father..."
The crowd was still chatting when someone suddenly cried out, "Is there nothing I can do but wait to die in the city?"
"We are all good citizens. Why can't you let us out? Quick, let us out!"
Someone shouted, very unhappy. The soldiers immediately stretched out their spears and pointed them at the person who shouted. The others looked at each other and shouted loudly: "The soldiers are beating us! If we don't leave the city gate, we will all die!"
Then someone took the initiative to rush forward and attack the officers and soldiers, each blow becoming more and more fierce. Others, seeing someone making trouble, took the opportunity to run out of the city. Naturally, the formation that had been maintained with great difficulty immediately became chaotic. A group of people rushed out of the city gate, and someone shouted: "Close the city gate!"
The heavy city gate slowly closed with a long sound. Those people were still running forward desperately. The officers and soldiers were still insisting on closing the city gate, so some people attacked the officers and soldiers.
In a quiet part of the city, someone suddenly shouted, "Someone is fighting at the city gate and trying to break out! Everyone, hurry up and leave the city while the chaos is going on!"
As soon as these words were spoken, those who wanted to leave the city gate naturally did not hesitate at all and rushed towards the city gate.
In the chaos, the officers and soldiers were all knocked to the ground. Someone shouted in the confusion, "Archers, prepare!"
"Everyone, this is bad! The soldiers are going to kill people in public! Everyone, run!"
Seeing that the situation was almost settled, Ni Yueshan ordered Jing Yuchen, "Hurry and take Shao Lecheng out of the city gate!"
But how could Jing Yuchen abandon Ni Yueshan?
But at this moment, if Ni Yueshan was pushed to the ground by those people and trampled on, it would directly harm the fetus. Jing Yuchen knew without thinking that this was not feasible.
"Let Qingfeng go!" Jing Yuchen said, obviously having no intention of leaving.
Ni Yueshan looked at him, with only helplessness in her eyes.
At the city gate, a rain of arrows fell in all directions like flowers scattered by fairies from heaven. Some people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Many people who were running outside stopped in fear, but the dense rain of arrows continued. Some soldiers stood on the wall and loudly announced: "Anyone who disobeys the emperor's order will be killed without mercy!"
Who knew that as soon as he said this arrogant words, an arrow shot out from an unknown direction and flew towards the city wall. The person who spoke was hit directly and fell towards the city wall.
This sudden change undoubtedly made the rioting people regain their confidence and rush out of the city gate.
"Everyone, hurry! Get out of the city gate!"
Another wave of people surged, all pressing towards the city gate. Qingfeng's important task was to take Shao Lecheng away from the heavy city gate. He carried Shao Lecheng on his back and used light skills to move forward quickly.
But with the crowd surging, it was inevitable that someone would squeeze him, so naturally he could only approach the city gate little by little, and then slowly go out with the crowd.
At this time, Jing Yuchen was standing on the roof, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, aiming at the officers and soldiers on the city wall and shooting arrows at them. The officers and soldiers naturally knew that someone was shooting arrows at them, and they were all looking for the direction of the arrows.
