Chapter 67: Hope for the Victims
Blood dripped down the long sword, Qian Feng had a murderous intent on his face, if he didn't use this method, he would not be able to drive all the victims out of Linzi City before dark, and there would be disaster victims entering one after another, and a good Linzi City would become a nest of food.
"Get out of the city at once, or you won't be killed!"
Qian Feng's cold voice sounded, the soldier advanced with a spear in his hand, Lord Xiangguo ordered, he didn't dare to delay, the spear was attached to his body, revealing coldness, and the victims had to retreat, everyone knew the consequences of continuing to resist, and the fear of death hit their hearts again.
There were bursts of cursing, Qian Feng didn't think so, wicked people, bad people, these voices have long been used to it, as long as you have power and enjoy the wealth of the world, this is enough, why care about an almost illusory reputation, the long sword in your hand is the most awe-inspiring thing.
The victims of Linzi had no choice but to withdraw from the city gate, the heavy city gate was slowly closed, some people were resentful in their hearts, kicking, fisting, and even headbutting, venting in the way they could think of, a pair of almost desperate eyes in the night, the tall city wall, and the inside and outside were completely two worlds.
Outside Linzi City, the victims chose a random place to rest, some held children in their arms, some hit the ground with their fists, and some simply threw their straw sandals that were about to rot far away.
A dozen or so people gathered together, all able-bodied, from different places, with the same purpose, to find a way to survive the most difficult period, and when the harvest of the fields was good, they could return to the village, and not have to live this bumpy life of exile.
"We can't go on like this, if we can't do it, we will forcibly open the city gates, and we will not be killed."
"Yes, you can only live if you enter Linzi."
One shook his head, "Everyone has seen the consequences of Brother Fang, that person is Qian Feng." ”
"King Qianyan!"
One person sighed and said, "If Tian Xiangzai is here, he will definitely not watch the victims suffer." Everyone was silent for a while, if there was no Tiandan, Qi would have been destroyed by Yan, if there was no Tiandan, Qi would not be able to recover from the war quickly, but it was a pity that in the end, the King of Qi and Qian Feng were punished for treason, and they were forced to leave Qi without reluctance.
The disaster of Qi country, the people suffered a lot, and they couldn't help but think of it.
"It's not that Qian Feng is making a hindrance from it, saying that Lord Tian is rebelling, try to ask which one can be trusted."
"One man believed."
"Who?"
"King Qi." After speaking, the man sighed and continued: "Qian Feng is hateful, but he is just a sword in the hands of the King of Qi, if there is no order from the king, how can he dare to treat the meritorious ministers of the Qi State like this." ”
"It's better to go to Lord Tian, there is news that he is now a minister in Zhao State, and he is quite trusted by King Zhao." Among them, there are many followers of Tiandan, the gate of Linzi City is closed, and there are many soldiers on the city wall, and they can see clearly, and they will not be able to do it if they want to enter Linzi again, so they will lose the hope of living.
"Go to Zhao Kingdom?"
"Don't forget that we are Qi people!"
One person snorted coldly, "Why didn't you think that we were Qi people when you grabbed food, why didn't you think that we were Qi people when you killed people, and what else could we get in Qi Country except humiliation." ”
"That's right, I heard that Zhao Kuo is the most fair, he puts his heart into people, and he has no offense against the people, so he simply goes to Zhao State, and if he doesn't get it, he can still make contributions."
Everyone's eyes were shining, but one person was silent, no one knew the origin of this person, just mixed in the victims, holding a wooden stick in his hand, the man slowly raised his head, "Zhao Kuo!" ”
One person said: "Brother Jing knows this person? ”
The man bowed his head, "How to recognize it, it's just curious." ”
"Go to Zhao Kingdom." The figure of a person stood up, his eyes showed a look, he was not used to what Qian Feng had done, and it was better to simply go to Zhao Guo than to be humiliated here.
"Leave immediately."
"Get up and go to Zhao Kingdom."
"It's great to go to Zhao Kingdom."
"Mother, where can I eat?"
"Yes, King Zhao is a good person, and he will definitely not drive us away."
The team set off in the night, and the lost hope instantly rose in the bottom of my heart, go to Zhao State, leave here, and leave completely.
As soon as the sky was bright, Qian Feng led people to the city gate, and there were already people waiting here, so he stepped forward quickly, "I've seen my lord." ”
Qian Feng nodded, "What's the situation outside?" Qian Feng almost didn't sleep all night, always worried that the victims would not leave and cause chaos.
"It's all gone."
"Gone!"
Qian Feng showed a look of surprise on his face, completely out of his own expectations, originally thought that the victims would definitely stay outside Linzi City for a few days, and finally completely lost hope before choosing to leave, he didn't want to go so quickly, he quickly climbed the city wall and looked out, but when he saw that Linzi City was empty, his face showed joy, "Okay, go well, so it saves a lot of trouble." ”
Du Wei frowned, "My lord, so many victims might as well put food for disaster relief." ”
Qian Feng turned around, "Remember, those who achieve great things are not informal, what is the use of these disaster victims, once the war resumes, who will guard the land when there is no food available in the army, and who will go into battle to kill the enemy." ”
Du Wei bowed his head, "Lord Xiangguo taught me a lesson." ”
Qian Feng smiled, "Pay close attention to the movements of the victims, and remember, not a single victim is allowed to enter the city, let alone alarm the king." ”
"Don't worry, sir."
Qian Feng went back to rest with a proud face, and saw a person bending over to play with flowers and plants from a distance, it was the woman who brought back from the dead General Qin's mansion that day, and she looked plump from behind, especially the round and bulging buttocks swaying from side to side, and suddenly a desire rose, and he stepped forward quickly and hugged him directly from behind.
The woman let out an exclamation, "Who? ”
Qian Feng's head was close, "Who else in the entire Xiangguo Mansion dares to do such a thing?" ”
The woman heard Qian Feng's voice and said hurriedly: "My lord, let's let go, if others see it, it will be embarrassing." ”
"What are you afraid of, the entire Linzi City can walk sideways, do you have to worry about being seen in your own house, and you are here today."
After saying that, her hands were forced, and the woman's clothes suddenly slipped off, and the woman looked ashamed, "My lord, let's go back to the room." ”
"Okay, Qian Feng doesn't like to force it." After speaking, he picked up the woman and went straight to the inner courtyard.
The victims of the disaster supported each other to approach the border of Qi and Zhao, and almost ate up what they could eat along the way, and from time to time someone fell down, and could no longer stand up, watching the border pass build the city, I couldn't help but secretly worry about how to enter the Zhao country if I couldn't cross the border pass.
One said: "There is a small road that can be bypassed here, and I accidentally found it when I was hunting. ”
"Lead the way."
The man agreed, and the victim turned to the other side, forming a canyon between the two mountains, and the figure of the victim slowly disappeared.
At the border of Zhao State, the sky was faintly bright, and the guards found a dark shadow in the distance, and quickly passed, "General, find a large group of people?" ”
"How many are there?"
"I can't see clearly, there should be no less than a few thousand."
The guards did not dare to be careless, and quickly climbed the city wall with weapons in hand, and finally saw clearly when the sun rose, it was not the enemy's soldiers and horses at all, there were old and young, ragged, and the number was close to several thousand. ”
The camp of the victims stopped, looked up, with a little apprehension in his eyes, all of them were identities, the war between Qi and Zhao was over, and no one knew whether the Zhao people could accept the Qi people.
More than a dozen people stepped forward, and one of them said in a loud voice: "We are the people of Qi country, but we can't survive because of the famine in Qi country, so we ask the general for mercy and let us into Zhao." ”
The guard general stood on a high place and heard clearly, "If there is a disaster and famine, you should open a warehouse and release grain, since you are Qi people, you should return to Qi Country to wait for rescue, why did you come to Zhao State, it is so suspicious!" ”
"If you are willing to let go of grain, who is willing to leave your homeland, general, we are all ordinary people, just asking for a full bite of food."
In the eyes of the guards, most of them are old and weak women and children, and it is better to send someone to Handan to ask the king for advice, and make up his mind, and immediately order someone to ride a fast horse back to Handan, "You can rest here first, and you will make a decision after reporting to the king." ”
In the crowd, a figure fell, and a cry came out, and the guard saw it, "Immediately prepare a few cauldrons and boil some porridge and rice." ”
"Yes!"
At the border of Zhao State, dozens of cauldrons rose, the victims saw in their eyes, white flowers and rice paste rolled in the pot, and finally saw hope, as a Qi person, was driven out of Linzi City, and now when he came to Zhao State, he could indeed get such courtesy, and inadvertently touched the warmest place in his heart.
The hot porridge was drunk, and everyone's faces were full of smiles, which was hope.
