Li Yan tried hard to find the person who shouted Gu @ confusion in the crowd, and finally, he saw a guy who was picking up stones and soil from the ground and throwing them at Li Yan's team while Gu @ bewitching the hungry people.

Li Yan took a look at it and instructed Wang Dejiang: "Go get some torches, hurry up!" ”

Wang Dejiang asked his son to do it, and then carefully persuaded him: "Son, if they don't come to rob them, let them go." Killing too many beings will damage the Yin Gong. "He was afraid that Li Yan would attack with fire and burn all these hungry people to death.

"I know!" Li Yan continued to stare at that Gu @ bewitcher, not letting that guy out of his sight.

"Here we are, here are the torches." Wang Dejiang's eldest son came with a few young men and a dozen torches.

Li Yantou didn't reply to the order: "Point it, bring it to me!" ”

Wang Dejiang took out the fire medium, blew twice, saw the flames, and lit a torch. After that, several more torches were lit with this torch.

Li Yan took a torch and threw it away, accurately throwing it on the head of the demagogues twenty paces away. The bewitcher screamed in fright, flapping his hair and the flames on his clothes.

Li Yan quickly threw out three torches, forcing the crowd around the bewitcher out of the way. Then he opened his bow and set up an arrow, and with a "bang", the bowstring was released, and the feather arrow pierced into the top of Gu @ Bewilderer's head.

The surrounding hungry people let out a cry of surprise and retreated in fear, watching their companions fall to the ground with arrows.

Li Yan concocted the same method again, shooting and killing two people who were still constantly bewitching the hungry people.

Finally, in the face of death, the lean man did not dare to agitate anymore, and his accomplices naturally lost their voices.

The hungry people have no encouragement from others, and they have no strength to fight to the death. Someone began to cry, someone began to look for their loved ones, the dead, the wounded, sad, afraid. They stopped attacking, they went from red-eyed beasts back to soft lambs, and they were left crying and despair.

The hungry people retreated, far from the trenches of the stockade, and no one dared to help their comrades who had fallen into the trenches, and they avoided them despite their cries and pleas.

They gathered on the main road and began to help the old and the young to escape the famine, but they were obviously more organized than before. There were many young men who followed the lean men, and these sturdy family members also followed them.

After walking far away, the lean man looked back at the soldiers who were still lined up at the entrance, his eyes were sharp, and he whispered, "I will come back!" You wait. ”

"Those guys are too powerful, let's not provoke them." One of the men with a broken arm reminded.

The thin man smiled: "There are not many of them, just like a big family, the courtyard wall is high, and the family is powerful, but we will still get in." ”

Then he shouted loudly: "Folks! Come with me, I'll take you to find something to eat! Only by giving up your life will your family not starve to death! ”

"Follow Big Brother!"

"Find food!"

……

Li Yan watched the hungry people leave, and muttered, "We turned them into thieves." ”

Li Mu slammed the spear to the ground and said, "Without us, they would also become thieves." Either starve to death, or rob it, those who don't have the ability to starve to death, those who have the ability or, it's always been like this. ”

"Alas, it's going to be messy again. Drought and locust plague are followed by plagues, and the people are miserable. Li Zhong shook his head and sighed, and went back to the village alone with his spear.

"Childe, what about the hungry people in the trenches?" Wang Dejiang came over and asked. The hungry people are still wailing and pleading in the trenches.

Li Yan did not hesitate and ordered: "Pull them up and let them go." ”

"Don't need to give me something to eat?"

Li Yan stared back at Wang Dejiang and said coldly: "If anyone dares to feed the homeless people without permission, get out of my village!" ”

Wang Dejiang lowered his head and even claimed that it was. Now that they left the village in the face of this catastrophe, it was simply for them to die, so they did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

Two of the sentry posts were left, and the others retreated to the stockade.

"Bring Qiu Niang and the woman she gave her food!" Back in the council hall, Li Yan commanded.

After a while, Qiu Niang and the others were brought in, and Sister-in-law Zhang also came with the child in her arms, looking at Li Yan worriedly.

"I haven't said that before, so I won't pursue it this time." Li Yan said with a dark face: "From now on, no population in the village can give food and drink to the displaced people, nor can they trade with them. If you violate the order, drive out Qilizhai! ”

"Qiu Niang Xie Gongzi's grace to save him." Qiu Niang had already freshened up at this time, was clean and tidy, and bowed to Li Yan.

Li Yan nodded and said, "It was Wang Renjie and Zhou He who saved you." After that, he said to the woman kneeling on the ground: "You~"

"The little woman's name is Lotus, and the man is dead. The little woman is willing to be a cow and a horse for her son, please take it in! As soon as Li Yan said a word, the woman began to introduce herself loudly, and after finishing speaking, she kept kowtowing, her forehead hitting the ground, and banging.

Li Yan waved his hand and said, "No need to kowtow, you can go." ”

"Please take it in, please take it in." Lotus continued to plead loudly, still kowtowing, and blood was oozing from her forehead.

Li Yan was unmoved, and ordered: "Pull her out." ”

"Childe, just leave the lotus." Qiu Niang knelt down and pleaded.

Sister-in-law Zhang also knelt down with the child in her arms and said, "I caused this trouble, I will give my rations to Lotus and ask my son for mercy." ”

"Either she goes, or you go together, you choose." After Li Yantie finished speaking, he got up and left the conference hall.

Li Zhong also came out, and he persuaded: "Fourth brother, why are you so ruthless? Isn't it just a weak woman, how much food can she eat? ”

"It's not about food." Li Yan explained: "This is a matter of prohibition, I will make a small opening today, and tomorrow I will do my own thing, scattered." ”

Li Zhong persuaded: "Then why use a weak woman as a raft? It is the same if there is a chance to stand up again in the future. ”

"This is the right opportunity!" Li Yan rarely didn't give face to his second brother, and said resolutely: "This matter is here." Second brother, let's discuss the rewards for the soldiers, the rewards and punishments are clear, so that the subordinates can obey the order and die. ”

Li Zhong was stunned for a while, looking at his little brother, feeling a little strange, but at the same time, he felt that this seemed to be correct, and he didn't know whether to be disappointed or happy.

"Second brother?" Li Yan screamed.

Li Zhong came back to his senses, smiled, and said, "Yes, the rewards and punishments should be clear, let's go to Brother Mu to discuss." ”
