The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 98 Why don’t we go to Beijing too?
When one person spoke, others naturally did not dare to lag behind, and the originally peaceful crowd instantly became agitated.

"Give me a bite to eat. I'm old and I eat very little."

"Master, are you in need of servants? All I need is a mouthful of food. I will repay you like a cow and a horse in my life..."

Everyone is working hard to promote themselves, and the circle of carriages is getting smaller and smaller.

Li Yanping huddled in the carriage, not daring to move, and his teeth were chattering nervously.

If he had known this, he might as well have stayed in Mobei!
Although Wenfu and Qi Zhifu are annoying, they will not kill him!

The more Li Yanping thought about it, the more he regretted it, but no matter how much he regretted it, he was now at the border of Jiangzhou, being begged by the refugees for a bite to eat.

He just wanted to cry...

His confidants were also frightened, but at this time there was no way to retreat, so he had to force himself to calm down, hammer his trembling legs, slowly open the carriage door, and bow to the refugees outside.

"Fellows and elders, we also came from Jiangzhou. Apart from this carriage, we don't have any extra dry food. Please be kind and let us go for the time being. Our masters know each other in Jiangzhou City. People, as long as we enter the city tomorrow, we will definitely find a way to bring you some food."

It was an empty promise and no money. It didn't matter if he promised the entire Liji Trading Company to leave at this moment. As long as they were allowed to enter the city, they would definitely stay in the city and never come out again.

My confidant has a good idea, but not all refugees are fools.

They naturally knew that once this carriage entered the city, it would never come out again.

The refugees looked at each other, and one man said: "Who are you fooling? There is no food in such a big carriage?"

"That's right! We don't want much, just give us one bite to eat!"

Amid the complaints, one person raised his voice and said: "We are all going to starve to death, and you still look on with cold eyes. You are really unkind for the sake of wealth!"

These words instantly ignited the anger of the refugees.

Normally, ordinary people would flatter and fawn over the rich, but now they are being forced to the point where they can't live anymore. When they see the rich, they just want to feel unfair.

Why?
Why! !

One person yelled angrily: "Folks, if these people say they don't have food rations, then kill those horses. Each of us can have enough meat to eat!"

"Kill the horse!"

Once the anger of the refugees was aroused, it was almost impossible to suppress it. Seeing that the situation was out of control, the guards raised their knives and slashed at one of them, hoping to scare the monkeys.

Unexpectedly, failing to kill the chicken also completely angered the monkey!
The refugees came forward clamoring and soon fought with the guards. The bloodshed completely stimulated these people.

The carriage jolted, and the horses were frightened. They neighed in terror, and their hooves flew, rushing forward against the refugees in front of them, and soon stopped at the city gate.

Li Yanping couldn't sit still anymore. He jumped off the carriage and kept banging on the city gate, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Open the door! I am Li Yanping, the shopkeeper of Li Ji Trading Company. Open the door quickly and let me in. The refugees are rioting!"

As soon as the word "riot" came out, the city wall was instantly filled with guards, each holding a bow and arrow, looking at the refugees who were constantly flowing forward, with burning eyes.

The guards stood on the city wall and shouted: "Everyone retreat, otherwise we will kill without mercy!"

Shopkeeper Li and his confidants fled to the city gate, but the guards protecting them were intercepted by the refugees. In the conflict, almost no one survived.The refugees were so furious that they couldn't hear the guards' voices at all. Even shopkeeper Li's hoarse cry for help was suppressed.

The guards did not dare to order arrows to be released at will. Once the arrows were released, the floods in the Jiangnan area would be completely hidden!

The garrison commanded his confidants to quickly inform His Royal Highness the King of Chu, while asking the defenders to fire arrows into the open space below. In any case, they must first shock these refugees!

Li Yanping leaned against the heavy city gate and felt that the eyes of these refugees were glowing red, and each of them was as terrifying as a man-eating rat.

His legs kept trembling, and after groping for a long time on his body, he finally found the flare. When he put it in the sky, the red flare exploded in the air instantly. The guard's eyes flashed, and he leaned half of his body to look under the city gate.

This signal flare is only available to King Chu's confidants. Even if the defenders don't want to open the city gate at this moment, they can only bite the bullet and open it at this moment!

What the guards didn't expect was that firing arrows did not make the refugees retreat, but instead aroused their inner violence.

Why don't these rich people give them a bite to eat?
Why didn't the defenders let them enter the city?
Why was the order given to release arrows?Why not give them a way to survive?
The refugees were moving forward like crazy, and Li Yanping was almost scared to the point of peeing.

The next moment, the heavy door behind him opened, and Li Yanping was dragged in. The city gate quickly closed before the refugees swarmed in.

Without Li Yanping, the garrison had no scruples and directly ordered the firing of arrows, and the wails resounded through the night.

Only then did the refugees swarm back, looking at the fallen people in front of them with lingering fear. The death of those around them shocked the remaining people.

The guard waved his hand, the city gate opened, and the soldiers piled the dead people together, and threw a few torches on the pile of corpses in front of the remaining refugees.

The raging fire lit up the sky. The guard looked at the remaining refugees and snorted coldly: "The archers on the city wall are not just decorations. They should think carefully before making trouble."

The refugees huddled together for warmth and shivered.

The garrison led the soldiers back, and in front of the city gate, one of the soldiers seemed to say unintentionally: "What's the use of all these people fleeing to Jiangzhou? Your Highness has already gone north."

Another person echoed: "Yes, Jiangzhou is also a disaster-stricken area, and the people in the city are also in trouble. They should go further north."

The discussion between the two became smaller and smaller, and then disappeared. The refugees looked at each other, not knowing for a moment whether what the man said was true or false.

"The soldier said that when the King of Chu went north, did he mean to go to the capital? The emperor will know about it soon."

Another person trembled and said: "When will King Chu come back? Are we still guarding Jiangzhou?"

Will waiting like this day and night really have any results?
The refugees were silent for a long time, until a strange fragrance wafted in the air, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the still burning corpse.

This is the smell of roasted meat...

One of them swallowed his saliva and forcibly looked away: "Why don't we go north too? The weather in Jiangzhou is not good, and it might keep raining..."

"Where to go north?"

Yes, where should they go?
The refugees endured the test of human nature and felt a little sad for a while. There was no place for them in the world.

After a while, someone said: "Didn't the King of Chu come to Beijing? Why don't we go to Beijing too!"
