When they were extremely anxious, wanting to say something but too embarrassed to speak!
He continued, "However, I cannot let down the trust of my fellow villagers!"
"Since the villagers trust me and are willing to listen to me, I am willing to take a risk for them!"
Even if the road ahead is extremely dangerous, I am willing to risk my life!
"I'm going right now!"
After saying this, he walked out with a very determined look in his eyes!
This left the remaining residents feeling very resentful!
Bai Chengye's goal was to make them feel indebted and to make them realize how hard-won this opportunity was!
Don't let yourself go once you get to the city!
Meanwhile, Lin Ru had already ordered the city gates to be opened, and she walked out alone!
The guards behind her all thought this little girl was incredibly stupid!
This is clearly something that officials should be doing, but they've pushed it onto this little girl!
Those officials saw the danger involved, and knew that there would be many responsibilities after leading her into the city. They were unwilling to take the risks and bear the responsibilities, so they pushed this little girl out!
They watched the little girl's resolute back as she walked away!
I have the utmost respect for you!
Lin Ru now walks forward with a smile and a calm demeanor!
Bai Chengye tried hard to control his facial expressions, making himself look less happy and his steps less light!
But when he got closer, he almost couldn't resist reaching out to touch his precious granddaughter's head!
It's only been two or three days, but it feels like a year has passed!
He looked at his precious granddaughter very carefully, from head to toe!
Only after confirming that she was unharmed did I feel relieved!
Lin Ru winked at him playfully!
Bai Chengye almost burst out laughing at her appearance!
Those on both sides who had observed the exchange only felt that the two were exchanging glances!
The two glared at each other, neither willing to back down!
Let's see who gives up first!
In the end, Lin Ru spoke first!
"I've been ordered to come and talk to you about entering the city!"
“There is also a river in the city called the Inner City River. Near the Inner City River, there is an open space large enough to accommodate all of you!”
"If you have money, find a place to stay yourself. If you don't have money, just stay in that open space! Don't go out unless absolutely necessary!"
"But you can't cause trouble, and all weapons must be handed over!"
"Anyone who wants to enter the city must find four people to act as guarantors. If anyone commits petty theft, the guarantors, the perpetrator, and their relatives will all be executed on the spot!"
"So you'd better not take any chances! Keep an eye on each other!"
Did you hear that?
Lin Ru spoke these words with a certain amount of inner strength, transmitting them to the ears of the refugees!
After all, these words were specifically said to those kinds of people!
Sure enough! When those people heard her request, they started whispering again, some of them thinking that the request was a bit too much!
"What does this mean? They let us in but didn't even make room for us. What do you mean by 'those with money can find somewhere else to stay'?"
"What about people like us who have no money? We can only sleep on the streets."
"Besides, we came here seeking help! Now we have no food at all! Are they not even going to give us any?"
"And they require four guarantors! Isn't that a bit too harsh?"
No sooner had they finished speaking than someone stood up to refute them!
"We should be grateful if they let us in! I've been to so many places, and I've never seen a city that would let refugees in!"
"Yes, this place is pretty good, and most importantly, there's water to drink!"
"Everyone outside is dying of thirst!"
"Once we get inside, we'll find some work to do, and that should be enough to support our families!"
"Now that there is no emperor, who would be willing to give you relief grain?"
"You're being kind by not charging us an entrance fee!"
"And as long as you don't do anything wrong, that's fine! Or do you think your goal is to sneak in and steal chickens and dogs?"
The two sides were arguing fiercely!
Hearing their commotion, Lin Ru said sarcastically, "Looks like you're not their leader either! You haven't even said anything yet, and these people are already making a huge fuss. If they go in, Shanping County will probably never have peace!"
"Since you don't agree, then forget it!"
"Anyway, once Prince Shun arrives, you'll be the first to die, not us!"
After saying that, she turned to leave!
Bai Chengye turned around and roared angrily, "What's all the noise about? If you're willing to accept these conditions, go inside; if not, stay outside!"
"Don't always expect something for nothing!"
"The most important thing right now is to stay alive!"
"Since you're unwilling to agree to these conditions, then I'll lead the people from our village inside first!"
Those people were stunned by Bai Chengye's shout! They immediately stopped arguing!
They knew their own limitations. If everyone from Shili Village went in, they would be doomed outside. After all, fighting against the government required not only a strong physique but also a clever mind!
So they all agreed!
Start looking for a guarantor~
Once they've found their guarantors!
A platform was also set up at the city gate!
"You all line up! Come one family at a time to register!"
Lin Ru then directed the guards beside her to remove the weapons from the registered households. These weapons were all seized during their battle with the guards at the city gate!
Upon closer inspection, there are actually over a hundred of them!
It seems these guards at the city gate have suffered quite a loss!
Despite such a geographical advantage, they still managed to get more than 100 knives!
It's almost laughable!
The guards blushed as they looked at the knife on the ground!
And so, everyone registered and entered the city in a very orderly manner!
The unusual activity at the gate and in the military camp was quickly noticed by Prince Shun's spies and reported back!
Upon hearing the report from the spy, Prince Shun was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand!
"These lackeys! They dare to pull these tricks right under my nose. Looks like they don't want to live."
"So what if we bring these refugees in?"
"Do you really think those good-for-nothings can fight against my tens of thousands of troops?!"
"It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot! They're overestimating themselves!"
His outburst of anger terrified the dancing women below, who all knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. The woman in his arms also trembled uncontrollably!
The atmosphere in the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
The Prince of Shun felt the woman in his arms trembling and tore off the only thin veil covering her body!
He gazed at the woman's fair and graceful figure before him!
