Going a little further, the main road was no longer paved with bluestones. The road was just smoothed. The weather was dry. A group of people walked on it, and soon their shoes were stained with a layer of dust.

After receiving Xie Changshi's permission, the guards raised their whips again, and the carriage carrying Xue Ye quickly bypassed them, sending dust and smoke all over the sky, and headed for the inaccessible mountainous area.

Gu Yuzhi was unprepared. He only felt the earthy taste in his mouth. Even after pouting several times, the earthy taste in his mouth still didn't disappear. He frowned and drank some water: "What a big ash!"

Xue Ye stood by the car window, looking at Gu Yuzhi's embarrassed appearance, grinning as if laughing at his embarrassment.

Gu Yuzhi snorted in anger, raised his little fist and shouted angrily: "Smelly Xueye, when you come back, I will beat you to pieces, and I won't leave you any delicious food cooked by Grandma Xu!"

Chen Dianyi looked at Gu Yuzhi's lively appearance with his hands behind his back, and his usually serious face could not help but soften a bit.

Obviously there was only one more person, but it made Chen Dianyi feel that the whole Xinliang was lively.

The carriage kept moving forward, and soon Gu Yuzhi's figure was no longer visible on the snowy night. He retracted his head and kept circling in the carriage, his whole body filled with an aura of impatience.

The carriage was about to stop, and before the guard could open the carriage, Xue Ye quickly ran out with a cry, and soon he could no longer even see his shadow.

The guard was dumbfounded.

No, he hasn't said it yet. His Highness will return to Changzhou in two days. If you don't come back in time on Xueye, His Highness won't wait for you.

Xue Ye, who returned to the mountains and forests, couldn't hear the guards' voices, and ran forward happily smelling the familiar smell.

While Gu Yuzhi and Xie Changshi lamented the rapid changes in Xinliang, shopkeeper Li finally arrived at the border of Jiangzhou after traveling day and night.

But before entering Jiangzhou City, Li Yanping noticed something was wrong. To the south of Jiangzhou, the sky was terribly gloomy and thunderclouds were rolling in. Even where they were, it was cloudy and hot.

Li Yanping opened the curtains of his car and looked out. Whether he was standing or sitting, the faces of the people on both sides of the official road were full of numbness.

We are approaching Jiangzhou City ahead. Compared with the prosperity of the past when the gates of Jiangzhou City were wide open and people came in an endless stream, there is already a long queue outside Jiangzhou City and it is difficult for carriages to move forward.

In the past, Li Yanping's carriage could travel unimpeded in Jiangzhou City as long as it had the flag of Li Ji Trading Company on the carriage.

But now it's no longer possible. The people are surrounding the city gate, and the number of defenders at the city gate is several times greater than before.

The confidant did not need to explain to Li Yanping. He took the road guide and quickly went to negotiate with the city defenders. When he came back, he frowned: "Shopkeeper, the city defenders asked us to line up. I asked about the situation and said it was south of Jiangzhou. Especially in Yangzhou, Huizhou and other places, it has been raining since the beginning of spring, and it has been raining continuously for almost three months."

Li Yanping’s pupils were shocked.

It's not even the rainy season yet, but it's been raining in these places for three months straight?
He looked up at the sky. There was no sign of sunshine in the distant sky. He didn't know how long this rainy day would last!

The consequences of three months of rainy days are unimaginable. Crops cannot be planted and people cannot live. The most frightening thing is that these disaster-stricken people will choose to do extraordinary things when they are desperate!
Li Yanping was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. It wasn't until the carriage took a hard step forward that he cursed in a low voice: "Mom, it turns out that what you pointed at above didn't mean the emperor, but God!"

The place south of Jiangzhou is constantly raining. Is it possible that Jiangzhou will be fine?No wonder Jiangzhou’s inspections are so strict. Isn’t Jiangzhou the first place where refugees who lost their homes due to natural disasters flocked?

The veins on Li Yanping's hand that were holding the desk were bulging out. No wonder the boss has never been to Mobei since the Chinese New Year. The boss is being watched very closely by God!

No matter how anxious shopkeeper Li was, the road into the city was extremely slow. The city defenders inspected it very strictly. In addition to the road guide, even the things brought by people entering the city would be turned upside down.

After losing his privileges, shopkeeper Li was not able to enter the city that day, because as soon as the Youshi hour came, Jiangzhou City Gate was closed mercilessly. If he wanted to enter the city, he had to wait in line, otherwise he would have to wait in line again tomorrow. The final restart of the line.

Surrounded by people who might evolve into refugees at any time, for fear that they would get angry and cause trouble, the confidants, guards and others did not dare to leave even half a step away. Even so, the carriage was still surrounded by refugees in the middle of the night.

There is no way, the carriage of Li Ji Trading Company is too dazzling.

When they arrived in the afternoon, the surrounding refugees had already been eyeing them. They didn't want to do this, but they were really hungry.

The city gates in the south of Jiangzhou were closed tightly, and no one was allowed to enter the city. The city defenders stood on the city wall with bows and arrows. Once any refugees approached, the city defenders would attack without mercy.

The refugees had no choice but to take a boat and take a detour to the north of Jiangzhou City, hoping to enter Jiangzhou City from the north.
The people in Jiangnan all know that Jiangzhou City is the fiefdom of King Chu. King Chu has a good reputation among the people. The people believe that as long as they enter Jiangzhou City, King Chu will not let them starve to death.

But they had no road guide, and queuing day after day made the victims physically and mentally exhausted, and they had already lost their patience.

If it weren't for the fear of the city defenders, the victims would have already wanted to enter the city!
They wanted to eat and find a place to sleep well. Even if they were slaves to a wealthy family, it would be better than waiting day and night outside the city.

When the victims looked at the luxurious carriage, their eyes glowed green, as if a hungry wolf had finally spotted its prey.

The vigilant guards had already woken up. After surrounding the carriage, they quickly pulled out their swords.

There seemed to be an invisible figure in the darkness, and the guards did not dare to take action for fear of really angering these people.

Li Yanping was not sleeping soundly. As soon as the sound of the knife was heard, he immediately opened his eyes. When he turned over and sat up, he lightly kicked his heart and soul and said silently: "There is something wrong."

The confidant woke up earlier than Li Yanping. He couldn't help but nodded when he heard Li Yanping's voice. Then he realized that the other party couldn't see him in the dark, so he opened the car window a crack and carefully looked out.

The moonlight was dim, but the refugees seemed as terrifying as monsters.

The heart of his confidant was beating like thunder. He silently covered his chest, leaned forward and whispered softly: "Shopkeeper, we are in trouble, it's those refugees!"

As if to confirm the words of his confidant, a refugee outside the carriage finally spoke: "Okay, give me a bite to eat. I don't want more, just a multigrain pancake. The child is really hungry." There is no other way.”

The baby in his arms was crying, but due to long-term malnutrition, his cry was almost inaudible.

The guards couldn't bear it, but they all knew that in the face of this situation, they must not lose their good intentions!
