"Childe, what's wrong with them?" asked Xiao Cui, sitting in the carriage.

"Xiaocui, do you know that helping others is the foundation of happiness?" asked Xu An.

Xiao Cui held her chin with her little hand, thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, "They feel that helping others is something to be proud of!"

Xu An nodded, "It's not all, they are so happy, half of the reason is to help others, and half of the reason is because of me." ”

He remembered the eyes of those coachmen, and there was expectation in them, as well as the satisfaction of the elders for the juniors.

"That's nature, and they should be proud of following Childe!" Xiao Cui nodded, deeply convinced.

Xu An looked at her with a doting face, and quipped: "Xiaocui, don't you feel proud of following Gongzijue?"

Xiao Cui looked at Xu An, her face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head, and muttered, "Xiao Cui... Proud. ”

Xu An looked at the cute appearance of this girl, reached out and touched her head, looked at the towering city wall in front of her through the window, and reminded, "We are almost there." ”

The soldiers guarding the city raised their spears and asked, "Is it Xu An, the second son of the Xu Mansion?"

Xu An stepped down from the carriage and said, "In accordance with the Holy Commandment, go out of the city to help the refugees." ”

The soldier nodded, parted the erected spears, opened the gates, and made a way.

Xu An nodded, walked directly ahead, and through the city gate, he could already see that there were many refugees snuggled together outside the city.

The disaster came too suddenly, and most of the people did not have time to react, so they suffered the pain of the destruction of their families, and they came to Tang Feng City with the last hope for life, but the door was closed, and they could only wait at the post station, waiting for a slim answer.

The territory of the Great Li Dynasty is vast, people are dying almost every minute, disasters and hardships are constantly staged, and it is impossible for the Holy Lord to save everyone, they know it in their hearts.

Many people had empty eyes, holding the cold corpse, their tears had dried up, and their hearts were numb and died.

Xu An looked at all this, the body that had been bathed in water exuded a strong sour smell, he didn't notice it at all, led the convoy to the most central position, and said to those who raised their heads to look at him.

"Sorry we're late!"

He bowed deeply, this disaster was much more serious than he had imagined, the post station that could accommodate thousands of people was obviously overloaded at the moment, and many people were crowded into a small clearing, and there was no place to stand.

As soon as Xu An spoke, many people raised their heads, there were some doubts in their eyes, and some people saw the convoy carrying food, and stood up involuntarily, wanting to get closer, and looked at those strong coachmen with some fear, in a dilemma.

Seeing them like this, Xu An hurriedly said, "Old Hu, order people to go down and distribute food and clothing." ”

He said to the hungry refugees: "Fathers and fellow villagers, we were sent by His Majesty, and His Majesty is concerned about the affairs of Jiangyu County, so he specially arranged for us to come to help. ”

Hearing this, many people's eyes lit up and they all wanted to come forward, but at this time, a gray-haired old man on crutches stood up and stopped them.

"In front of Tang Feng City, Your Majesty closed the city gate, obviously giving up on us, that is, the king's abandoned people, how can we talk about help?"

The old man's face was full of vicissitudes and his lips were chapped, but he revealed a perseverance that could not be ignored.

His skinny body was a little rickety, and he looked very ordinary, but as soon as he stood up, the people who wanted to step forward did not dare to step forward.

Xu An was a little curious about this old man, after suffering a calamity, everyone who was able to travel here for a long distance must have an extremely strong desire to survive, and the old man could prohibit it like this, but it had a taste of being in the barracks.

He stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Old man, can you see the post station behind you? As far as I can see, Your Majesty has every opportunity to work hard for the country, and now the Great Xia, Daqi, Daji, and even the nomads of the herdsmen are eyeing Dali, and Your Majesty is protecting the society and the country, when you look at the chess game of the world, how can you be trapped in a corner? But even so, Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and can especially take care of you, and specially send us to come to the disaster relief, how can you say that the king abandoned the people?"

The old man looked pensive, and Xu An continued.

"Tang Feng City is the capital of the king's country, it is already mixed, if you enter with this attitude, you will definitely attract a lot of cold eyes, and now Your Majesty relies on Tang Feng City to establish a post station, it is really for you to establish a new county seat, please look into the distance. ”

With his finger, everyone looked at it and saw a green plain not far away.

"You can set up camp here, all the tools for cultivation are ready, the seeds of the crops will be delivered soon, and if you wish, I am sure that it will not be long before the days here will be good. Xu An said seriously.

Everyone was moved, the old man's hand on crutches was also a little trembling, the cloudy old eyes looked into the distance, and a few tears couldn't help but roll down.

"It turns out that Your Majesty, no... Give up on us. ”

"My husband can let them line up to get food, we have boiled some porridge, everyone wake up first, and I will bring some meat at noon." Xu An said.

The old man turned around, looked at the young man's kind smile, and smiled unconsciously, and felt much more relaxed.

He has always been everyone's spiritual pillar, and the double load of body and mind has overwhelmed him, and now Xu An's arrival has dispelled his worries and given everyone hope for the future.

"I don't know Childe's name?"

A girl with a somewhat pale face stepped forward, Xu An heard the sound and followed it, and found that although this woman looked a little weak, her face was beautiful, and her eyes were quite similar to the old man.

Xu An smiled, "Under the son of Prime Minister Xu, Xu An." ”

"This is my granddaughter, Chu Qin. A hint of pity flashed between the old man's eyebrows, "The old man has a reluctant request." ”

"Husband, please speak. Xu An made a look of deference.

"Childe has shown kindness to His Majesty, and we should be grateful to the tears, and we will repay the grass and the ring. But this reclamation matter, after all, it takes a lot of time, she has loved poetry since she was a child, and she has been looking forward to going to Tang Feng City since she was a child.

The old man stopped talking, looking at the girl on the side, his eyes filled with hope.

When Xu An heard this, he hesitated.

At this time, His Majesty has already explicitly forbidden outsiders to enter Tang Feng City, this is one of them, and the other is that these people are all fleeing from Jiangyu County, if he lets her in, it will inevitably be a little favoritism, if it causes a riot, it may destroy the stable situation.

When he hesitated, the refugee who had been relying on him suddenly stood up and knelt directly towards Xu An.
