Chapter 179: Two in One
Of course, Field would not know the most fearful feelings, he was born into a knightly family since he was a child, and he did not feel the threat of hunger even in the most difficult times of the family, and even poor knights did not go hungry in the land of nobility.
Field didn't know, but many people in the royal capital had begun to feel it, the kind of stomach that was always calling, and the feeling from the stomach could make them eat everything they could eat around them.
The homeless people roaming the streets have no work left, most of the shops have closed, the first ones to close are those related to food, and as for the other shops, who will come to patronize their shops, and if they open now, who knows if the hungry people outside will rush in and ask for food? This is not the first time this has happened.
The magistrate of the royal capital has been replaced by three because of this kind of thing, and the first two have all been killed, and the third one took over and ran away from the city directly after taking over, and he didn't even know whether he was alive or dead.
"Your Majesty, it's not okay to go on like this, look at those people, their eyes are already green, if they don't help again, I'm afraid they will burst out and hurt people, when the time comes, we don't need Bill to come in, we will mess up first!"
It was the head of the Silver Knights who patrolled the city walls with the king, and the other knights were all disposed of, but only he was not disposed of, firstly because he was his emperor's henchman, and secondly, because there was no one available under the emperor now, because the magician suffered heavy losses last time, and now there is no magician to serve him.
"Do you think I don't know? But what can I do, now I want relief is not what my palace can do, food, a lot of food is needed, but how many people in the palace you don't know? If the grain is pulled out and divided. What do we eat? The only way to solve this problem is to solve it at the source! ”
How could the king not know the danger of the hungry people, just when a hungry fallen man was dragged into a dark corner by a group of people, what was on their minds, as a king he would not have thought of? He just didn't want to think about it.
"But how long? Grain ships should have come a long time ago, but until now, let alone the fleet of grain carriers. There wasn't even a caravan, and the message for help was sent, but no one replied, this thing is really weird, I'm afraid that we won't be able to wait for reinforcements, and we will be killed by the mob first. ”
The knight was loyal, and of course he didn't want His Majesty, to whom he was allegiated, to disappear like this, but now that the most critical moment had come, the king was still reluctant to touch the nobles. This makes it incomprehensible.
"I know what you mean, but you must know that although I am a king, I am a nobleman first, and then a king, this world is a noble, we must not do anything that goes against the interests of the nobles, otherwise even if we get through this time, we will be overthrown by the nobles in the future, and even the end will be even more miserable. Do you understand! ”
The king obviously knew why his knight said this, but he had his own reasons. Although he is the emperor of the empire, in fact this empire is composed of many noble families, he is only the most powerful one, if all the nobles are united, he will also be deposed, and the interests of the offended nobles will be the only reason for unity.
"Your Majesty. If we don't, I'm afraid we won't even be able to hide from this time! Don't talk about us at that time, those nobles who have tens of millions of food at home haven't done good things for others, and I don't know who they are, and their intentions are extremely sinister. This is to starve all the people of the entire royal capital to death inside, no, not only to starve to death, but to starve to the extreme, snatch and kill, and even eat people, cannibalism... Isn't it happening now, Your Majesty, when do you have to wait until you come to your senses! ”
The knight's cry finally moved His Majesty, and he saw the fate of the man who fell to the ground, and he must have been eaten clean in the corner.
"Maybe you're right, but... forget that I need to rest, you can do whatever you want, but I won't give you any rights! I won't help you if something happens. The king closed his eyes and said, and went straight away.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The knight knelt on the ground, he knew that the king had allowed it, but he could only succeed and not fail, otherwise, he would be pushed out by the king to be a scapegoat, because the king did not give him any rights.
The knight walked briskly away from the wall, gathered his knights and some squires, and ran to the place where the nobles were.
Half an hour later, the king saw the black smoke rising from the sky in his palace, and then the earth-shattering sound of fighting broke out in the noble district. None of the noble knights in the city have private soldiers in the royal capital, this is the king's territory, and they will not make any dangerous royal moves, but now it has become their nightmare.
The nobles who were drunk and dreamed of death at home never thought that someone would attack them, and the resistance of the family was nothing to the army, and they could only bully the civilians outside.
"Captain, you'd better explain, otherwise I'm going to sue you for Your Majesty!" Holding a banquet at home, the nobleman who opened the wine pool and meat forest in an extremely extravagant and wasteful manner looked at the knight commander who came here with a look of contempt and said.
"Sue? You don't stand a chance! Kill! "Since the regiment commander dares to do it, he will not leave a handle, otherwise after this time, he will be the public enemy of the entire country.
One nobleman after another was crushed by the knight chief, and the reserve grain and other food harvested in his nobleman's house were four or five times more than that of the granary of the royal capital.
The smoke rising from the sky caused the royal capital to panic, and if hunger was a trigger, then the killing was a fuse, igniting the bloodthirstiness of the populace who had become tyrannical because of hunger.
When the first group of civilians who were not afraid of death entered the aristocratic district, everything began to develop on the uncontrollable side, the battle between the army and the nobles, the battle between the army and the commoners, the battle between the commoners and the nobles, and the melee immediately began.
It's not just civilians who want food, the military also wants it, and now at this time, everyone knows the importance of food, and who is willing to let go?
"Ladies and gentlemen, these foods are going to be sent to you in the future. Please put it down now, we need to implement a rationing system to get through this food shortage, please exercise restraint and do not riot, please trust us! We're here to help you! The Knight Commander was furious at the chaotic scene.
He never thought of it. When he was about to succeed, there was such a mess, and those snatchers didn't pay any attention to his words, believing that you have a ghost, and you assigned? How much do you allocate to me? Mine, these are mine, as long as I grab it, it's mine.
All the people thought this way in their hearts, so the words of the regiment commander not only had no effect, but instead accelerated their actions.
"Damn. Whoever dares to rob will kill me without mercy! "The regiment commander was angry, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he gave the order to kill, these people are really too ignorant, isn't what he is doing now for them! Why doesn't anyone understand his painstaking efforts?
"Murder! They killed! There is really no good person in the officials, they are the same as those blood-sucking nobles, they don't let us live, there is so much food here. They didn't even let us take it! What to say about distribution, who knows if you take it and take it back or not? Everyone, grab it! ”
I don't know who it is. Unexpectedly, he shouted in the crowd, and in this case, the head of the regiment finally couldn't suppress it, and when the crowd was getting more and more, the knights and squires of his family couldn't stop it, and in the end he could only barely keep a duke's mansion, as for the rest. His men were overstretched, and in the end some of the soldiers even joined in the robbery.
Li Youran, who got the information, smiled noncommittally, the chaos in the royal capital was something Li Youran expected, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and there was a riot in less than a week.
"Good. Now that the royal capital is in chaos, we should let them see who made them so miserable, and the reason still has to be said. Li Youran said to his subordinates, and then several large armies advanced at the same time.
Advancing step by step, I finally came to the place outside the city wall of the royal capital, although there is a moat, but for Li Youran, who has a lobster man and a swamp fish man, the moat is not a thing, but Li Youran is here to demonstrate, siege the city? Not at the moment.
Li Youran stood above the city wall openly, looking down at the royal capital below, and the outline of the entire royal capital could be seen from the sky, which was indeed very huge, but now this is already a big cage, and no one in it needs to think about getting out.
"Who is the master of this empire, stand up and speak for me! I want an explanation, otherwise I will leave you without a grain of grain and a drop of water. Li Youran suddenly spoke loudly, and his voice rang out over the entire city.
The king sitting in the palace sighed secretly, and finally the culprit appeared, but he still didn't know where he had offended such a master.
The knight commander's eyes narrowed, stared at the sky for a long time, and finally saw Li Youran suspended in the air, his face became very bad, just with this ability to stay in the sky, he could only retreat, he had no ability to fight at all, maybe a magician can, but there is no magician in the royal capital here, is there anything else that can resist this person?
The king went outside, although he couldn't see who was talking in the sky, but he knew that this person could see him, so he walked out, and since he wanted to explain, he would explain it himself, but he wanted to know what the other party was about, and only by finding the source could he solve this matter.
He had already thought about it, after this time, he must find the ancient gods, otherwise he would send so many beliefs every day, but no one would help him at the last moment, wouldn't he become a big wrongdoer?
"Who is Your Excellency? I would like to know what has offended you in the Stuart Empire, and if you want compensation, as long as you offer a price, as long as the Reich can do it, the Stull Empire will never refuse. The king cried out, knowing that the man would be able to hear.
"Reparations? All right! You can do it! Li Youran's voice rang in the emperor's ears.
The emperor immediately looked to his side, but found that he didn't know when there was another person beside him.
"Your Excellency is also a strong man, why should you block our trade routes so that food cannot enter the city, resulting in starvation everywhere!" The king first put himself on the moral high ground and began to question, the general master has his own bottom line, he wants to know if this one has it, but he obviously thinks too highly of himself, in Li Youran's eyes, this so-called king is not qualified to talk to himself.
"Needless to say, don't you want to know why? I tell you, remember one of the knights who died here? He took a group of **** guards with him. And his student, who originally came here to get back what belonged to the merchant who had been robbed of his belongings, but he was killed, can you tell me what happened? ”
Li Youran waved his hand casually, without any meaning to explain, and questioned the emperor in turn.
I heard Li Youran say this thing. The king immediately knew that something was wrong, that the man died at the gate of the palace, and that many people knew it, and there was no chance to cover it up, and as for the reason, the merchant who was robbed, everything was connected, and it was obvious that his precious son was the key to the matter.
"I'm willing to compensate, as long as I can take it out, I'm willing to take it out. As long as this matter can be reconciled, I will agree to anything! The king said at once.
"Yes, I want you to hand over the culprit of this matter, as long as you hand it over, I will let you go!" Li Youran looked at the king and said very seriously, in fact, this plan was only a moment of anger, and when he saw the tragic situation in this city, Li Youran already regretted it, which was more frightening than killing.
But this condition was destined for the king to be impossible to agree to. He only has one son, how can he take it out to atone for his crimes? If he really wants to. The prince will not be the current prince, in the past, he provoked opponents, and he was leveled down, so that his son became more and more arrogant, and now he can provoke people who can't be provoked!
"It's not what you think, your people are preaching in my territory. This is inherently unreasonable, as a lineage of the ancient gods, pagans are not allowed to preach, but your people are openly proselytizing, and this is the cause of conflict. In the end they died here, but my people died even more, and you have to ask for an explanation, are my people dying in vain! ”
The king tried to make the last struggle, what he said was actually what he was talking about, he killed more people, only more than 100 people actually killed and injured more than 5,000 soldiers under him, what kind of combat power is this, so he cleaned up and finished it as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to be approached by someone, and now it is finally clear that everything is made by this space-time god cult.
"That's your business, I don't care, but it's a fact that my people are dead, I just need the murderer, hand it over, and I will spare the lives of your people, if you can't hand it over, you can, everyone in a city will give me a funeral." Li Youran said without paying attention to it.
"You..." Li Youran glanced at him coldly, the king wanted to be angry, but he found that he didn't seem to be able to get angry, in case he was killed by this person, he would really lose.
"I need to investigate, otherwise I don't know who did this, but don't worry, I'll give you an explanation!" The king suddenly softened his tone, and Li leisurely nodded noncommittally.
The king was gone, and returned to his palace, and after sending all the attendants out, he opened the secret passage under the seat, where only he knew, a secret passage that could connect almost all the palaces, which was originally used to escape as a stealing incense and jade, but now it became his only chance to live.
First came to the prince's palace, although the prince was released, he was still brought back, because it was too chaotic outside, he was afraid that the prince would add to the chaos, but he didn't expect this decision to save the prince's life, and also saved the last trace of his royal blood.
"Follow me!" The king only said one word, and then walked into the secret passage, and after seeing that his bed turned out to be a secret passage, the prince was shocked, what is this place? He didn't know why he didn't know at all, but he called him, and he still went obediently.
The two of them stopped and walked all the way, the king pulled and pulled all the way, and the prince also looked at it strangely, there were many pull rings on the wall, and the king pulled these things.
"Father, why are you pulling these things?" The prince finally couldn't help but ask.
The king glanced at his son and said, "Seal this secret passage, remember that I will take you to a place, do not speak when you get there, you will do whatever I tell you to do, and then you will live by yourself, don't go down in the middle of it, I have done everything I can for you!" ”
"Father, what are you talking about? Where am I going? I'm not going anywhere, I won't be in the middle of the day, I just beg my father not to drive me away! "The prince is afraid, he depends on his father for everything, and he is nothing without him.
"Shut up, you broke into the disaster, now people are coming to the door, if you don't leave, are you waiting to die! All the roads have been blocked, the whole king is now a purgatory, if you don't go, you will die, you are the last trace of blood of my royal family, I am old, it is nothing to die, but you must continue the blood of the royal family, understand! It's your responsibility! ”
The king suddenly lost his previous kindness, and looked at his son with a serious face.
Apparently his words frightened the prince, and he said timidly, "Then what place am I going?" I can't do anything. ”
By this time, he finally knew that he couldn't do anything, but unfortunately it was too late.
The king sighed, if he knew that his son was like this, he should have really strangled him to death and had another one, but there is no if in the world, he has and only one son is such a superb.
"The place you go to is another world, where is the world of our patron god Gu God, where you go, remember not to be arrogant and low-key, because that is not our territory, any person may pinch you to death, I can only send you where you have a chance to live!"
When the prince heard that he was going to be a grandson, how could he agree!
"Father, can you bear to let me go somewhere? I don't want to go, or should I go to the countryside to hide? I remember that our family had a fief in their hometown, otherwise where would I go! ”
"Smack!"
"You hit me!!" The prince looked at his father in disbelief, and just now he was fantasizing about staying, but he was immediately slapped by the king.
"Bastard! I'm just beating you, I just hate beating you less, making you what you are now, and you still want to stay? Do you know who you messed with? Our trade routes, both by land and water, are blocked.
All the letters I've sent out for help have been heard at all, nothing has been heard, you know? Those people are dead, all the nobles who are close to us are dead, you have nowhere to go for the whole empire, everything is caused by you.
If you hadn't coveted other people's goods, would it have caused such a thing? People come to investigate, and you do it again! If it weren't for you, would the empire have been destroyed? Now you give me a good life, you know! ”
The enraged king grabbed the prince by the collar and yelled, and the prince looked bewildered, and it was evident that he had never seen his father like this.
The lost prince was finally dragged by the king to an ancient altar that had been discovered by his ancestors, and at what time his ancestors began to make their fortunes, from a penniless rich man in the countryside to a meritorious emperor, and it was after that it became a forbidden place, and the capital of the country was set here, but the wilderness was preserved.
After taking out a lot of crystals from his arms, he placed them in the altar one by one, and then silently recited the incantation, activating the altar, and the blood-red prototype mirror appeared in the center of the altar.
"It's you, let me think, that little guy of the family, you're so old, what's the matter with me?" The appearance of the ancient god appeared in the mirror, the ancient god has been living smoothly these days, with the assistance of the Machine Emperor, the ancient god cult of the Fengyun world is developing, and that emperor Shakti is still a very good guy, and he has a lot more believers recently, so he laughed happily after seeing this family that has served him for generations.
After seeing the old god smile, the king immediately felt that maybe things weren't so bad, and maybe he might survive! So he added fuel and vinegar to say the matter again, of course, what should be concealed still has to be concealed, such as the fact that his son robbed someone's house first and the important person of the family died here.
After listening to this, the ancient god said inexplicably: "You mean to say that someone is preaching in my territory, and after being driven away by you, he still dares to come, and it is still some big people, hehe, okay!" That's great! I can't imagine that my ancient god will be invaded by someone one day! I want to see what this Temporal God Cult is capable of, and it dares to attack my idea. (To be continued.) )
