"This is the first batch"

I saw that on a straight official road, hundreds of cavalry surrounded two luxurious carriages appeared in front of me, Yuan Xi rode on a tall horse, standing in the front, Zhao Yun and Hu Niu'er guarded on both sides, looking at the grass on both sides of the many thin, rugged, sallow-faced victims, frowned slightly and asked, some of them were even children, when they saw Yuan Xi and others appeared, they showed panic and fear.

"The fifth batch" Zhao Yun, who was dressed in silver armor, white robe, and holding a spear, said with a little ugliness on his face, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"This is troubled times!" I saw Li Ru suddenly riding over on a horse, and said with a sigh on his face.

A day ago, after they came out of Yecheng, Yuan Xi felt that it was too dazzling to bring tens of thousands of troops, and it was too slow, plus he wanted to understand the people's situation and really understand the people, so Yuan Ping, Jiao Touch, Tie Xianhu, Fu Hu, Zhen Yan led the army of the three battalions to take the first step, and he took Zhao Yun, Hu Niu'er, the two peerless generals, as well as Li Ru, the strategist, as well as Mi'er and his concubine, led hundreds of soldiers of the personal guard battalion to follow slowly behind, and finally gathered in Yi County, which was county by county.

Now they have arrived at the edge of Zhao County, to which Yecheng belongs, not far from Lincheng, across Lincheng is Changshan, Changshan is close to Youzhou, if you hurry up, at most five or six days, you can reach Youzhou.

However, this way out did make Yuan Xi a little shocked, in less than half a day, he had seen a lot of victims, these people were dressed in tatters, and they relied on digging some grass roots to eat, compared with the prosperity and luxury of Yecheng, it was a sharp contrast, as if heaven and hell.

"Although there have been many wars in my north, but now that I am stable, how can there be so many victims!" Yuan Xi strangled the dock and asked with some puzzlement.

Li Ru smiled bitterly, "Gongzi may have been confused by the prosperity of Yecheng, first the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then the princes merged, the world has been warned, the taxes are extremely heavy, in addition to the merger of the land by the nobles, do whatever they want, the people are really tired, this north is honestly better, at least under the efforts of Yuan Gong, stabilized, if Gongzi goes to the Central Plains to see, except for those who pay attention to the people's livelihood, other places are simply starving, miserable, and the people are living a precarious life."

"Kid, how do you eat eggshells!" At this time, a maid suddenly saw a thin little boy picking up the eggshell she had just peeled, and immediately stopped her in surprise.

Yuan Xi glanced at it, immediately jumped off the horse, walked over quickly, and after seeing Yuan Xi arrive, the little boy immediately vomited the eggshell in fear, and said with fear on his face: "Childe, I don't dare, don't hit me"

When the surrounding victims saw this scene, they lowered their heads and did not dare to say more.

Yuan Xi looked at the dazzling yellow eggshell on the ground, suddenly his eyes were a little sour, he slowly squatted down, looked at the little boy in front of him who was only eleven or twelve years old at most, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, my brother won't beat you, what about your parents?" ”

Hearing this, the little boy was stunned for a moment, his face was suddenly full of sadness, and he lowered his head silently, "My father went to the army and never came back, my mother jumped into the well not long ago, I was so hungry, so I picked up eggshells to eat, I didn't mean to"

At this time, Zhen Mi also got out of the carriage, and when she heard this, she was soft-hearted, tears instantly flowed from her eyes, and Li Ru, Zhao Yun, Hu Niu'er and others next to her also lowered their heads one by one with heavy faces.

Yuan Xi felt his heart tremble, is this a troubled time? A boy so young that he has to live alone, even to the point where even eggshells are delicious? They talk about the people every day, and they talk about the troubled times every day, but now he really realizes the cruelty of the troubled times to these ordinary people.

"Childe, do you want a family, although I am still young, I can do anything, I don't want money, just give me a little food" The little boy may have felt Yuan Xi's kindness, and immediately asked expectantly.

Zhen Mi hurriedly asked the maid next to her to distribute the dry food to the surrounding victims, and suddenly there was a panic next to her, and after the victims got the dry food, they devoured it one by one, and their faces were full of gratitude.

The little boy also took a big steamed bun and nibbled hard, but after only a few bites, he carefully put away the remaining half.

"Why don't you eat it," Yuan Xi asked.

"I'll keep it for tomorrow and eat it the day after tomorrow, thank you, Childe," the little boy grinned, looking happy.

Yuan Xi was suddenly shocked, although these people were dressed in tatters, they were indeed much easier to satisfy than those who were bright in appearance and strong in the wine pond and meat forest, and gently picked up the little boy, turned his head to look at everyone, and said with unprecedented seriousness: "If you can't let the people live a good life, what is the meaning of our so-called authorities?"

"Childe, wise" Li Ru, Zhao Yun, Hu Niu'er and the soldiers next to them immediately knelt down.

"Soldiers died fighting for the country, dying to wait for my great cause, they are glorious, they are great, their children should enjoy the highest treatment, not so unattended, let alone reduced to beggars" Yuan Xi suddenly roared loudly.

Zhao Yun, Hu Niu'er and other soldiers of the guard battalion trembled with excitement one by one, looking at Yuan Xi's eyes full of admiration, especially Zhao Yun, his face was very moved.

"Sir, you write it down for me now, from now on, no! From this moment on, if all the soldiers under my command die on the battlefield, they must not only be given a pension, but also must return to defense once every six days to solve their difficulties and help them become self-reliant" After Yuan Xi said this, his eyes suddenly froze, and he announced loudly: "This will become an immutable system, and it will be passed on forever, whoever dares to put a little effort into this, I Yuan Xi will kill them"

"No!" Li Ru replied loudly, with admiration in his eyes, and his opinion of Yuan Xi in his heart changed again, although Yuan Xi has the absolute ruthlessness of the hero, but he also has the benevolence of caring for the people of the world, this is a natural image!

"What's your name," Yuan Xi asked suddenly as he looked at the little boy.

"I don't have a name, everyone calls me Ah Bao," Ah Bao replied.

Yuan Xi smiled slightly, put the little boy down gently, rubbed his head, and said, "You have a relationship with me, which makes me more aware of the current situation, you can go to my house to be a little servant in the future!" I can't get the glory, but I still have no problem eating."

"Thank you, Childe, thank you" Hearing this, the sensible Ah Bao immediately kowtowed gratefully.

"Childe, we can do it too" At this time, the other victims next to him also rushed over, all wanting to follow Yuan Xi, but they were stopped by the soldiers one by one.

Yuan Xi glanced at it, his eyes became resolute, and he muttered: "I am bound to end this troubled world and make the people of the world completely prosperous and strong."

A deep sense of responsibility spread in Yuan Xi's heart, the blood dragon pattern on his chest suddenly flashed, and the two murderous blood-red eyes suddenly turned into a brilliant golden color, filled with the majesty of the royal road, and suddenly burst out with an amazing momentum all over his body, only to feel a stream of air instantly swept the whole body, Zhao Yun and Hu Niu'er, who were strong in martial arts, were the first to be shocked, and looked over in surprise.

And Li Ru also felt it, and after staring at Yuan Xi for a while, his eyes showed a deep sense of relief.

Killing is male, benevolence is positive, the two are one, and it is the royal road.
