Xiao Jingchen saw a hint of surprise in Su Qing's eyes, and he still scanned the people around him with a calm face.

"Since you still have the strength to make trouble here, it is not yet to the point of starvation, so let's go and distribute food to the elderly and children at home. ”

"Yes. Xiao Jue raised his hand and said hello, and all the soldiers who had been distributing food gathered and followed him.

Although he is not as proficient in medical skills as Su Qing, he has also known that it is dangerous for so many corpses to gather together on the battlefield since he was a child.

"War King, you are our last hope, how can you do this to us? We have been starving and freezing for more than ten days, how can we not even give us a mouthful of food?"

Seeing that they really couldn't get food, these people who blocked the road began to beg miserably one by one.

Xiao Jingchen's expression was as usual: "It is not only you who have been affected by the disaster this time, there are many people waiting for food to save their lives, and the bodies of your relatives will either be brought back for burial by themselves, or the yamen will arrange cremation and return the ashes to you." ”

"This matter can't be delayed any longer, just now the princess also told you about the danger of corpses piling up, if anyone has any other opinions, you can tell this king now. ”

The cold wind swept the snow and fell on Xiao Jingchen's head and shoulders, and Su Qing found that he didn't even wear a cloak when he came out, and he was very thinly dressed.

After he said this, the people didn't dare to say anything, only a few people stood up to bring their families back, and the rest agreed to be cremated by the yamen.

Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and was about to continue to inquire elsewhere, but heard Xiao Jingchen stop her.

"I will send someone to inform you of the rest of the matter, you go back to the yamen and wait, Lord Wang will arrange a place for you to live, and then the king will come to find you. ”

Su Qing turned around and was about to say something when he saw that Xiao Jingchen had already turned around and left, he seemed to be in a hurry and had a lot of things to do.

For Xiao Jingchen, this is a familiar place, but Su Qing has spent a lot of effort just now when he first arrived, so he obediently listened to Xiao Jingchen's words and returned to the yamen.

Xiao Jingchen stood on top of the city tower, although the Northern Zhou City was not a big city, it could stretch for hundreds of miles, and it played a vital role for Daqi.

But now the whole city is covered in snow, and as far as the eye can see, you can't even see the mountains not far away.

"Lord Wang, if we want to clear the snow in the whole city, we are far from manpower, and we don't have much food. Xiao Jue followed Xiao Jingchen all the way.

Back here, they all have a sense of familiarity, and it is precisely because of Xiao Jingchen that the entire Northern Zhou has developed to such a point over the years.

Before they came, the North Monday area was almost desolate and uninhabitable, and several dilapidated villages were about to be deserted.

It was Xiao Jingchen who led his soldiers to plan to build roads and drink water, built sturdy houses, and gradually gathered some scattered people around here to develop such a scale.

With this prince here, the people here are gradually becoming inert, and anyway, if there is any trouble to find the soldiers under the king of war, they will definitely be able to solve it.

This also caused the people to be confused for a while after the snow disaster closed the city, and they didn't know what to do to force themselves to a dead end.

"After lunch, gather all the young and strong people in the city and clear the snow. Xiao Jingchen retracted his gaze, turned around and walked down the city tower.

"Send some more people to the surrounding villages and towns, and if there are still people there, they will all be brought here. ”

"Lord Wang, our supplies are not enough, bring those people ......" Xiao Jue hesitated a little.

On the battlefield, if the supplies are insufficient, they will gather all the supplies to supply the important people and seek a chance to survive, while on the contrary, if they are scattered, everyone may not survive.

"If the supplies are not enough, they will search from house to house, even if there is only one grain of grain to collect, it will be enough for a few days, and I am afraid that the relief food of the palace will not be able to be counted on. ”

Xiao Jingchen knew in his heart that he had no intention of helping any more since the emperor handed over this matter to him.

So when he returned to the palace that day, he asked Xiao Jue to move all the grain out of the granary of the palace, load the truck, and prepare to go.

But he didn't expect to meet Su Qing and prepare to flee overnight, the roots of his angry teeth itched, this woman was really going to turn against the sky!

first deceived him silently to secretly assassinate the prince, if he hadn't found out in time and took her away, maybe he would have been arrested and his life would be lost.

Now he wants to run away without saying a word, if he puts it on someone else, it would have become a life debt in Xiao Jingchen's hands.

But Su Qing, he just couldn't do it.

So he pretended not to know anything and asked Xiao Jue to call them into the carriage and take them to the Northern Zhou together, speeding up the journey on the way, but fortunately, there was no news that the people in the palace were catching up to arrest them for the time being.

It's just that now that the North Monday region has suffered a snow disaster, I'm afraid it's not just a snow disaster.

Xiao Jingchen squinted his eyes and looked up at the gray sky, the snow was already much lighter, and I was afraid it wouldn't be long before it stopped.

The young and strong people in the city gathered together in a large procession, and when they heard that it was the order of the prince, no one dared to disobey it, and all the men and women went out to gather.

Until Xiao Jingchen showed up, the upper of his shoe creaked on the snow, and everyone's eyes fell on him.

The handsome figure, tall and straight, stood in the snow like a painting, and some of the young women in the team had their eyes straightened. "The snow has been in the city for a long time, and you have not learned to save yourself after so many days in the city. Xiao Jingchen said lightly, raised his hand, and the soldiers under him brought out a bunch of tools.

"You have all had your fill for lunch, and if you want a hot supper, you should all go and clear the snow from the city, for the roads in the city are not passable, and the food is not delivered, so you will only starve. ”

These people thought that the prince had asked them to gather to receive relief supplies, but they didn't expect to let them work, and some of them showed reluctant expressions on their faces.

"Lord Wang, didn't those people send food to every household at noon? Why do you still need a road at this time, isn't it enough to walk on a road?"

"It's just that we've been hungry for so many days and have run out of strength, where can we have the strength to clear the snow, and when the sun clears, won't the snow melt by itself?"

People who are lazy and lazy have echoed the idea that they don't want to work, they just want to wait to eat ready-made.

Of course, there are also some people who are willing to work one after another, pick up tools, and go to work without saying a word.

"Xiao Jue, you are responsible for counting the number of people, whoever works will have food at night, and if they don't work, let them gnaw the snow." ”

Xiao Jingchen frowned, no one dared to refute what he said, and those who didn't want to work heard that they would have nothing to eat if they didn't work, so they had to come forward and get tools.

The people under my command are almost arranged, and the first step is to restore traffic, which may take a day or two.
