The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 55 Conspiracy (Part [-])
Recently, Su Tang has been worrying about when the bandits will come to rob again, but before the bandits, there is even bigger trouble.

Looking at the monitoring screen, under the dark sky, dozens of miles away from Yanyang City, a group of people with yellow and thin faces, shabby clothes, and walking weakly, there are five thousand people, Su Tang's I was even more worried.

If it is a bandit, just put oil, throw gunpowder, and find a way to kill them, but you can't face these refugees.

They are all poor common people, they are powerless, killing them, Su Tang can't do it.

However, it is these helpless refugees, once they gather together, and their hunger makes them lose their minds, their combat effectiveness may be even stronger than that of bandits.

Seventy to eighty percent of the potatoes in the farmers' fields in Yanyang City have already been harvested, but the villages they live in are all outside the city. If they are looted by refugees, the hope they just had for life will be extinguished again.

The most important thing right now is to keep these villages in case those refugees riot.

When Su Tang rushed to the outside of the city, although the refugees were moving slowly, they were approaching more and more. The people in the surrounding villages also sensed that something was wrong, organized themselves, and gathered farm tools outside the village with torches, observing nervously and apprehensively. In case something happens, they will be the first to bear the brunt, so they have to guard against it.

"These days are uneasy. Every day is either a bandit or a refugee." A middle-aged man spat viciously, tightly holding the hoe in his hand.

"Where did these refugees come from? There are so many?" Another person asked.

"Where can it come from? The weather has been good in the past few years. It can't be refugees. It is probably the people in the northern border with Chenyang Kingdom. They have been disturbed by the war and can't survive."

"They should have fled to the inland as well. What to do at our border, we are not so safe here."

"Then who knows, it's just been a good day for two days, if they dare to grab things, I will fight them hard."

The villagers were panicked and gathered together to comfort each other and discuss countermeasures.

Su Tang stood outside the city gate, surrounded by darkness, and could only see the flames shining in the distance.

Through monitoring and observing the movements of all parties, it was found that the refugees probably knew that they were getting closer to the place where there were people when they saw the patches of light. People meant that there was food, and those who stuttered could survive.

The speed of taking one step and resting for three rests, unknowingly accelerated a lot, and they were about to reach the gate of the city. However, they did not directly enter the city, nor did they go to the village to plunder, but rushed towards the potato field.

Even though the sky was dark, Su Tang could clearly see through the monitoring that they seemed to see the hope of being alive, like wolves pouncing on their prey, they squeezed desperately into the potato field, threw away the soil with their dark hands, and dug out the soil. The fist-sized potato inside, together with the silt, was stuffed into the mouth, chewing and swallowing.

It looked as if these potatoes would disappear in the next second. They gnawed desperately and swallowed desperately. After living as a refugee for so long, they knew that the first time they saw food, they had to put it in their stomachs. That's the only way. No one else can take it away.

Within a short while, 5000 people ate up the sporadic potatoes that hadn't been harvested in this potato field. Seeing that there was really nothing to eat in the field, their eyes finally set their sights on those gathered around the village. of the villagers.

"There must be something to eat in their home, go!" After someone shouted, the refugees rushed to the village.

Being stared at by such a group of extremely hungry people, the villagers and Su Tang froze. This is not the way to go. Su Tang rushed towards the village with a startled group.

"Scary group, stop them, don't hurt anyone." Su Tang hurriedly said, if the two sides fight, people will die.

Upon hearing the sound, Jingtuan grinned, showing sharp teeth, and rushed towards the crowd of refugees at a phantom-like speed. In the blink of an eye, Jingtuan rushed to the crowd at the front with its strength and extremely fast speed. The collision was scattered and fell to the ground.

Those refugees were originally dry and thin, how could they withstand the attack of a fat and strong group? In an instant, dozens of people fell to the ground, terrified.

"It's an iron-eating beast."

"I can't go any further. If I go any further, I will be killed by an iron-eating beast."

"What are you afraid of? Are thousands of us still unable to defeat a single iron-eating beast?" A burly man among the refugees shouted, "If you don't grab food, you will die if you wait to starve to death?"

A word from the big man instantly brought back those retreating refugees, staring at the startled group one by one, eager to try. Thousands of them could kill this iron-eating beast by gnawing on an elephant. Speaking of which, they hadn’t eaten for many days. It's too meaty.

Hey~
Jing Tuan gritted his fangs and roared loudly, and knocked the provocative big man to the ground.

The villagers not far away recognized Jingtuan by the light of the fire. This iron-eating beast was a pet of a girl. It never hurt anyone. It seemed to be helping them. confrontation.

At this time, dozens of refugees rushing to the front were lying on the ground and rolling in pain. Obviously, they were hit hard by the shocking group. The refugees were afraid of the shocking group and did not dare to move any more. it is good.

Fortunately, Su Tang arrived at this time and called the Jingtuan back to him. Looking at the stinky, messy and red-eyed refugees, he said, "You don't need to grab things, the prefect here will give you food and arrange it properly." Yours."

"Is this true?" The refugees couldn't believe it when they heard this. Who doesn't want to live in a safe place.

"A girl, can you count your words?" When they saw Su Tang's cloth-like clothes, they questioned in their hearts. This person didn't look like a high-ranking person.

"It's true, believe me!" Su Tang said sincerely, Yanyang City is sparsely populated, and it really needs people.

"Don't listen to her, can she be a woman who says she can do it? If it's just a lie to you, when the officers and soldiers arrive, let alone food, we will die." Just knocked down by a shocking group The big man stood up and spat out the blood in his mouth and shouted.

Su Tang looked at the man with a slightly cold expression, but he still explained, "What's the use of us killing you, you can still afford to stutter."

"Heh, we passed by so many cities, which of them didn't we try our best to drive them away? Can this dilapidated city of yours accommodate so many of us? I'm afraid I won't be able to eat enough. Who will believe what I say?" The big man continued to grow up. shouted.

"Oh? Since you know that the city here is dilapidated and poor, why don't you seek refuge inland, instead come to our desolate borderland?"

Su Tang stared closely at the person who spoke, and she felt that it was strange that these people did not go to the inland rich places to seek a living, but instead came to this poor city of Yanyang, where there were bandits and riots.
