In the western part of Yunling, the mist-filled mountain range that encloses three-quarters of the Yunzhong province penetrates into the sky. The steepness and ruggedness of Yunling far exceeds the Qinling Mountains. The Qinling Mountains may be able to cross the ridges to hide from the sky, but Yunling is absolutely impossible. With a steep altitude of several thousand meters, it snows in all seasons, avalanches, storms, etc. are just like commonplace meals, let alone human soldiers, even gods are unwilling to face this severe natural power.
Tongyun Pass, a pass that stretches for ten miles, is located between two mountains in Yunling. It is also the largest passage between Qihai Province and Yunzhong Province. However, after the war, Tongyun Pass has been locked and refused business travel. With refugees, but the Yunzhong province has fallen, and countless people who have lost their homes still gather in the fertile fields of the east of Tongyun Pass.
Every day, people die from hunger, no one has buried their bodies, and the plague has begun to raging.
…
At the city gate, Tang Xiaoxi wore a red dress, looked at the refugee camp in the east from a distance, and said, "Can we really not come up with any ideas?"
On the side, Chen Xiaoli clasped his fist and said: "Princess, really can't open the gate of the city. No one knows if there are soldiers from the Tianji Empire among the refugees. Now, behind Tongyun Pass are the 40 million empires of the Seven Seas Province..."
Tang Xiaoxi was silent.
After a while, she raised her head and her bright eyes were extremely cold: "Send my cavalry team out in the afternoon and bring: food and water to comfort the people. After all, they are all citizens of the empire. If we ignore them for the sake of war Life and death, what can we do if we win this war?"
"But the princess..."
"Don't tell me, if Mu Mu and Feng Jixing were here, they would do the same."
"I..." Chen Xiaoli was a little speechless. As a professional soldier, he knew what to do and what not to do. At this time, Tang Xiaoxi's approach was not in line with the art of war, but it was in line with the way of the king, so Chen Xiaoli Somewhat at a loss, don't know what to do.
Ouyang Yan pursed her red lips and said: "A plague called evil is prevalent outside the city. Once infected, it will fester and die, and it will not be cured at all. Out of ten people outside the city, three out of ten have gotten it. This kind of plague, Princess Xi, are you sure you want to bring them into the city?"
"But Sister Chu Yao is not here, otherwise she must have a way to cure this plague." Tang Xiaoxi frowned: "But I can't just watch them die outside the city, Ouyang, do you have a good way?"
Ouyang Yan was taken aback: "Use my method?"
"Ok."
"It's simple, it burned them all in one fire, and it was a hundred dollars."
"When I didn't ask."
"..."
In the afternoon, the gate of Tongyun Pass was opened. Tang Xiaoxi led Baiqi out of the city. Behind him was the transportation team, taking the supplies from the Qihai Province into the jungle. When the auxiliary country princess appeared in the crowd, the people were alone. All of them were dumbfounded, many of them were covered with sores and pus, but they didn't expect to see the nobles of the empire before they died.
"It's Princess Xi... It's Princess Xi! She brought us food, and the empire did not abandon us!"
I don't know who yelled, everyone knelt down and shouted: "Long live Princess Xi! Long live Princess Xi!"
Tang Xiaoxi slowly walked through the crowd with her horse, looking at the faces longing to live, she felt extremely uncomfortable, how much pain the war has brought to people, but this is not something she can control, if she can It would be great to end this war early... It is also at this time that people will feel that Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, and defending the soldiers who charged for the empire are so lovely and worthy of respect.
"Everyone stay quiet."
Tang Xiaoxi’s voice was very clear and clear, and the power of law was contained in the voice, spreading far, everyone quickly quieted, and Tang Xiaoxi looked at the people around, and said: "The empire will never abandon you, and the Qin family will never abandon you. , But the enemy is very strong and we still need time. Please believe me, Tang Xiaoxi, the empire will definitely win this battle! I brought you food and water, please don’t fight."
Everyone shouted long live.
But at this moment, an old man with a festered left leg leaned on a cane, looked at Tang Xiaoxi blankly, and said, "Princess Xi, say so... The empire doesn't plan to open the Tongyun Pass, let us go to the Seven Seas?"
Tang Xiaoxi was a little sad, and said, "The plague is raging outside the city. Once everyone enters Tongyun Pass, the plague will raging inside the pass, and our 150,000 elite soldiers will face the disaster of extinction, but please rest assured, I will send someone outside the pass. Set up tents and provide water and food every day."
"What are you talking about? Are you asking us to wait for death here?"
A big man with a festering face roared: "We are citizens of the empire, why don't we let us enter the pass? You incompetent nobles only know that they are enjoying themselves in a good place, and they have not put the life and death of our people. In the heart!"
People fell into a desperate situation and began to curse.
"Go away, put away your hypocritical face!"
"The Qin family are all rubbish, you are just a dog of the Qin family, even more rubbish!"
"The hypocritical empire, die soon!"
…
Tang Xiaoxi turned around, still holding the horse, and walked towards Tongyun Pass. Tears slid down her cheeks one by one. She had never suffered such humiliation. Around, refugees even picked up stones and threw them at her, but they were all ejected away by the power of the god wall.
Ouyang Yan followed Tang Xiaoxi without saying a word.
After walking for a while, Ouyang Yan said: "Follow my method and burn them all in one fire."
"No."
Tang Xiaoxi looked at the wild grass under the horseshoe, and cried loudly: "I represent the royal family of the Great Qin Empire. They can sorry me, but I can't sorry them. Mu Mu and Xiaoyin have all been wronged, I How can I play Missy temper here, I... I..."
She couldn't cry, and everyone knew the truth, but when it came to the point where the people were betrayed, who could guarantee that she would be able to bear it
Ouyang Yan pursed her red lips, and said, "No wonder Qin Han chose to soar without hesitation... Things in this world are indeed muddy like a pool of mud, but unfortunately, Lin Muyu and you are too obsessed with promises and responsibilities. Otherwise, ascend directly to the Eastern Heaven Realm, and with the Seven Lights Devil Emperor protecting you, you can absolutely dominate you in the Eastern Heaven Realm."
"Stop talking, Ouyang..."
Tang Xiaoxi bit her red lips and said, "Leave food and water behind. All members of the guard who came out of the city with us must be isolated and observed. The isolation can be stopped if there is no illness within ten days. You and I... the same."
"Don't worry, we are gods, it is impossible for this kind of mortal world's plague to invade our bodies."
"Are we really that good?"
"Of course."
"Then why do I feel so wronged?" Tang Xiaoxi's eyes were red.
Ouyang Yan looked at her distressedly: "Because you are a good person, you are good at being deceived, and your human nature is like this, selfish and greedy. Burn out these ungrateful, stupid and ignorant people. We are gods and are qualified to save them."
"No need."
Tang Xiaoxi shook his head: "The Qin family needs what the people want and the world needs to save Da Qin's dynasty. There are some things I can't do, go back."
"Ok."
In the city, Chen Xiaoli watched everything that happened from a distance. He didn't say a word. After a while, he said to the two lieutenants behind him: "I will help him and prepare for things that the lord Xi can't do. , Ready to do it after midnight today."
"Yes, Lord Commander!"
…
The general of the night, when the night came, the city gate opened wide, and a group of Seven Seas City elite iron horses galloped out. Everyone was holding torches, and the horse behind was a heavy bag, each bag filled with Jin Yin currency.
Chen Xiaoli carried a spear and galloped forward, breaking into the refugee camp all the way, and began to throw a lot of gold coins among the crowd, and at the same time shouted: "Take the money and go to Muyucheng to find a way out. Well, don't stay here, you can live with these money, and you can only wait to die if you continue to stay here!"
The crowd was in chaos, and the people were scrambling for gold coins.
And Chen Xiaoli brought nearly a thousand cavalry out of the city. Everyone’s mouth and nose were covered with cloth, and gold coins were scattered everywhere. When everyone got a lot of gold coins, Chen Xiaoli immediately raised his spear. Loudly said: "Go! Leave all! Kill all those who don't go!"
Many of the refugees expressed opposition.
"Dangdangdang..."
With the sharp knife out of its sheath, the cavalry quickly hacked and killed dozens of stubborn people. The blood on the blade was still dripping, and the refugees were shocked. They didn't expect Chen Xiaoli to really dare to do it.
"Go away, don't go away! All be the ghosts of Lao Tzu!"
Chen Xiaoli killed Lu Guojue and raised his spear.
The cavalry drove away, and the people left the refugee camp one after another, heading straight towards Muyucheng.
…
The next morning, Tang Xiaoxi got furious after receiving the news of the chaos outside the city last night. In the guard's mansion, Chen Xiaoli had been tied up by Wuhuada, and the two lieutenants were kneeling in the hall together.
"What the hell is going on?" Tang Xiaoxi flushed with anger: "Chen Xiaoli, how dare you use swordsmen against the people, do you still have me as the princess in your eyes?"
"have."
Chen Xiaoli knelt on the ground with red eyes and said: "Princess Xi, I, Chen Xiaoli, was originally a general in Seven Seas City. I was promoted by His Royal Highness King Xin after my father died. I, Chen Xiaoli, is a general in the Tang family. I would like to see Princess Xi suffer such humiliation. I have expelled a group of white-eyed wolves outside the city, but I have given them gold coins so that they will not starve to death on the road, and... if they take the plague to Twilight City If this is the case, it will also spread to the hundreds of thousands of dragon corps and wolf soldiers in Twilight City. Why don't we do it?"
"What about the millions of people in Twilight City?"
Tang Xiaoxi said lightly: "Who will take care of their life and death?"
Chen Xiaoli raised his head, with a smile on his proud face: "There is nothing in the world that has the best of both worlds. I want to defeat my opponent and save the common people. This kind of thing hasn't happened since ancient times, Princess Xi, you kill me. , Use my head to pay tribute to the dead, and use my blood to wash the stains I brought to the Qin family."
"You really dare to say it!" Tang Xiaoxi slapped the table: "Pull it out and chop it!"
Everyone was shocked, trembling too much to speak.
The corner of Ouyang Yan's mouth raised: "You generals are all fools, don't you know how to plead?"
A group of generals hurriedly knelt down and shouted for pity.
…
"For the sake of so many people's pleading, I will spare you your life."
Tang Xiaoxi also didn't want to kill Chen Xiaoli, otherwise, who would guard the city and lead the troops, her eyes were cold, and she said lightly: "The official will be demoted to one level, the salary will be fined for half a year, and it will be kept in confinement for a day."
"Yes!"
Chen Xiaoli smiled, as if he was promoted to the third rank: "Thank you, Princess Xi, for sparing my life!"
