I was silent for a while and said:
"Don't talk about meat. There are at least tens of thousands of victims in the mountains and plains. Tianyue Mountain is so big, there may be hundreds of thousands of victims. Two meals a day, the daily cost will reach hundreds of gold coins The monthly cost is as high as 3,000 gold coins. Have you ever thought about it? This is just the basics. How much will it cost to buy them winter clothes, let them build homes to avoid the wind and snow, and then give them land to cultivate? No Tens of thousands of gold coins can't take care of this mess. Don't talk about you and me, no one below the lord can afford this expense."
Bai Huang turned her head, gritted her teeth and said nothing.
After a while, she sighed and said:
"I know, but these people are right in front of my eyes, and I should save as many as I can."
I asked:
"How much cash did you bring?"
Bai Huang replied:
"Sixty gold pieces. And some valuable jewels, but that's all there is in cash."
I said:
"One hundred and twenty people. Pick one hundred and twenty people to follow you, and I will take care of what happens."
Bai Huang immediately laughed, shook my arm and said:
"I knew it was still hello~ Thank you, Lord City Lord."
"Why do I feel so terrified... let's go."
Bai Huang happily picked someone to go.
The soldiers behind frowned and looked at each other, wanting to say something, but Bai Huang couldn't stop him.
She quickly ran to the little girl whose face was frostbitten just now, and said:
"Bring your mother back, and I'll take you out."
When the little girl heard the words, there was a hint of joy on her face, and she kowtowed to Bai Huang several times before running away. But when she came back, there was not just a woman with disheveled hair behind her, but more than a dozen men and women in various costumes. Bai Huang didn't speak, the little girl asked timidly:
"My lord, these are other relatives in my family, and I want to go with my lord..."
Bai Huang nodded and said:
"Come on."
As soon as the words fell, the dozen or so people knelt down in unison. But it was not only the dozen or so people who knelt down, there were hundreds and thousands of people behind them, all knelt on the ground in a dark mass. What's more, he walked forward on his knees and cried loudly in front of Baihuang:
"My lord, save my children!"
"My son is only three years old! The high fever has never subsided, and I can't survive seeing it!!"
"My lord, you are a good man and a fairy-like figure. I beg you to be merciful and take in Xiaomin. Xiaomin will repay you as a cow and a horse!"
"My lord... I don't ask you to take me in, but I really don't want my granddaughter to die in the heavy snow, my lord..."
"My lord, my lord, take a look at us, our family doesn't even have a piece of good skin on us!"
Bai Huang looked at the blackness in front of him in fear, and said in a panic:
"Get up, please. Get up, get up and talk. Oh, get up."
A man in front shouted:
"If adults don't help us, we won't get up!"
"Yes! We won't get up!"
"Don't get up!"
"My lord, please help us!"
Bai Huang had never seen such a scene before, she suddenly became flustered, and kept trying to help the person in front of her, but everyone was kneeling so heavily that they couldn't pull it. On the contrary, as soon as Bai Huang passed by, some people kowtowed continuously, some had their foreheads smashed, hot blood dripped into the white snow, and some reached out to pull Bai Huang's ankles to prevent her from leaving. The people in front rushed forward, almost submerging Bai Huang in it. Bai Huang's breathing became short of breath for a while, she was at a loss, and looked at me as if asking for help.
I looked at the scene in front of me coldly, raised my volume, and said in a gentle tone:
"Alaya! From now on, those who cannot be pulled up by the white phoenix will be chopped off with one sword."
Alayya pulled out the sword in her hand expressionlessly, and replied:
"Yes, master."
After finishing speaking, he walked towards the person Bai Huang was pulling, without a trace of pity in his eyes.
"My lord, my lord... I..."
The man wanted to argue, but Alaya had already walked over and raised the sword in his hand.
The man got up straight away, and looked at Alaya in anger.
I continued to raise the volume and said lightly:
"You only kneel when you are asked to cut at the Meridian Gate. Who are you kneeling for? Women are fine. A group of old men are begging for a little girl like rogues, and they don't want their face? Alaya, from now on , and those who are kneeling, cut off their heads one by one! There are so many disaster victims, and if there is one less mouth, it will save a morsel of food for others to eat."
Alaya held the sword in one hand and walked towards the crowd.
At the beginning, only the people in the front row stood up, but this is like a domino, and it has a chain effect. When the people in the front stand up, the people behind will naturally stand up, and if they don't stand up, there will be reminders around them. Soon, the mighty people who were kneeling on the ground got up, but their eyes were full of hatred, not to Bai Huang, but to me and Alaya.
Bai Huang was still in shock, and quickly ran to my side, pulled my cuff with one hand, and called out in a low voice:
"Leader..."
I stretched out my hand to stop her, and said loudly to the crowd in front of me:
"The adults of my family are not here for charity, but to buy people. What you buy is your blessing, and what you can't buy is your own fate! Those who are selected will sign a contract of sale later. Sell yourself as a slave of my lord, you can leave now if you don’t want to! Those who stay may not necessarily choose you. Which one here is not miserable, and which one is not the end of the road? Why don’t you fight on the spot, or Let's quarrel and see who is worse? Don't leave the problem to my adults if you can't do it. Keep your mouth shut. Whoever my adults pick is whoever you can't pick. Blame yours. The king doesn't care about you!!"
The crowd fell silent.
Bai Huang clenched her fist, I put down the arm that was blocking her eyes, and said:
"Little Huang, pick someone."
Bai Huang walked forward slowly.
Sure enough, no one in the crowd spoke, but all looked at Bai Huang with begging eyes. Some people even took the initiative to show the frostbite on their bodies to Bai Huang, hoping that she would choose them. Bai Huang couldn't bear it all over his face, walking in the wind and snow, looking at this and that, but couldn't make up his mind.
At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted:
"Damn it, if we can't be picked anyway, we'll all die. Finally, a big man with a compassionate heart came, please hurry up! Being beheaded is about the same as freezing to death here! My lord, if you don't choose today If it's me, I'll kneel and die here, if you want to chop it off, you chop me off!"
The man rushed up like crazy, and knelt down in front of Bai Huang. The others hesitated, but most of them wanted to kneel down again. Bai Huang took a few steps back, Heji hurriedly stopped in front of her, and I also called Alaya in a cold voice.
Alaya went up with the sword, and when she saw that she was about to raise the sword, a gentle voice suddenly came:
"Youhan, stand up. You all stand up. Didn't I teach you? Kind people are precious in this world, don't let those kind people feel embarrassed because of their kindness."
The man kneeling on the ground raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice with tears in his eyes.
There, a young man in a plain white robe walked slowly against the wind and snow.
