Chapter 9: Prosperity

The remaining 100-odd refugee warriors were also attracted by the sound of horses' hooves.

When they saw the man on horseback dressed, everyone knelt on the ground in rows.

Chen Li was not familiar with this person, but he knew that the person's dress was the uniform dress of the Chen family's guards.

The guard rode in front of Chen Li, turned over and dismounted, knelt down in front of Chen Li, and said respectfully: "The guard Chen Tao is late to escort him, and Young Master Wangli will punish him." ”

"Okay, you are also on the orders of others, don't take the black cauldron to yourself casually, sometimes, there are some black cauldrons that you can't afford to carry. ”

When Chen Tao heard this, he was shocked, this was a warning, but he had been a guard of the family for many years, and was even given the surname Chen by the head of the Chen family.

Years of experience have made him see too many intrigues, and it is not surprising that two clansmen who have a good relationship on the surface will face each other with swords the next day.

Most of them hide their ambitions and hatred for people in the depths of their hearts and do not let anyone know about them.

There has never been anyone like Chen Li, who directly explained in front of so many people that someone in the family wanted to deal with him.

Chen Tao, who is well versed in it, did not reply, this kind of talk cannot be accepted, otherwise he will not know what the sun will look like tomorrow.

Chen Li didn't know the little Jiujiu in Chen Tao's heart, so he walked to the city gate by himself, and he didn't ask Chen Tao to get up.

When he walked up to the refugees, he called out to the kneeling refugees.

"Young Master Li, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be really the Young Master of the Chen family. ”

"Young Master Li, Lao Ma is also confused for a while, I hope you can forgive us for our recklessness. ”

"That's right, Young Master Li, we also saw that the spirit fox you were sitting on came out of the barren mountain, so we thought you were from the demon clan. ”

Chen Li pressed his hand, stopped the noisy refugees, and said loudly: "Since it's all a misunderstanding, then just untie it." ”

After a while, the man named Lao Ma fell to his knees and shouted, "Young Master Li, you are a good person!"

When the refugees saw one of them kneeling, the others also knelt down, and the mountain shouted: "All the good people in Yuezhou City! If it weren't for the four great families giving us porridge every day and setting up camp for us, I'm afraid we would have died in the wilderness long ago." ”

Chen Li hurriedly beckoned everyone to stand up, and seeing that he couldn't persuade them to gossip, he could only turn around and shout to Chen Tao: "Chen Tao, look at which of those people lying on the ground are injured, treat all the injured, and take the expenses from the Chen family's tent." ”

Chen Tao, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't get up, and replied to Chen Li loudly: "Young Master Li, these people are all to blame, you have already identified yourself, and now you are convinced by your force, and you deserve to be injured!"

"Nonsense!" Chen Lixi's face turned red with anger, obviously really angry, and he rebuked angrily: "Those who don't know are not guilty, and they have suffered, and they are all human races, so they can't help at all?"

Chen Tao knew that he had said the wrong thing again, his body was lower, and he hurriedly replied: "Yes, when the villain returns home, he will do it immediately." ”

Nodding, Chen Li beckoned to Wang Bing and the Spirit Fox King in the distance, signaling that they could go.

"Alright, don't kneel, I have something to ask you. Chen Li greeted Chen Tao.

"Yes. ”

The Spirit Fox King had already walked over with Wang Bing in his arms, and Chen Li's face was full of surprise.

At that time, when he came out of the barren mountain, the Spirit Fox King did not let Wang Bing ride on its back, or Chen Li used barbecue as a threat, so he let Wang Bing come up.

But it's only been a long time, although the Spirit Fox King is still reluctant, but Wang Bing is sitting on its back slightly, and it doesn't make a fuss.

I couldn't be distracted when I was fighting just now, and I didn't notice what Wang Bing and the Spirit Fox King did.

However, the two of them are willing to live in peace, and Chen Li is still very happy.

In the meantime, Chen Li led Wang Bing to Yuezhou City, while Chen Tao bent down and followed respectfully.

Chen Li didn't ask questions for a long time, he could only follow silently, and he didn't dare to ride on the horse, but his eyes glanced at the Spirit Fox King from time to time.

With such a big body, it is too eye-catching to walk on the road.

"Chen Tao, what's going on with these people?" asked Chen Li.

Chen Tao, who was listening to the sound at any time, immediately replied: "These are refugees from other places, there are as many as 100,000, and most of them are civilians. ”

"What is the matter with the refugees who have fled?" asked Chen Li in surprise.

During the 100,000 years of the leadership of the Tang Empire, the human world was thriving, even if there was a famine, the temple would allocate food in time, and there was never a word of fleeing.

"Young Master Li is cultivating in the deep mountains, and it is normal for the news to be blocked?"

"On the ninth day of your departure, the demon clan raised troops into the country, caught the temple by surprise, reinforcements were not available, the front line could not stop the prepared demon army, and in a few days, thirteen cities were taken, and these refugees were refugees from thirteen cities. ”

After listening to Chen Tao's narration, Chen Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was quiet for 100,000 years.

Although I don't know the reason, in the days to come, the pattern of the human world will be affected again, and I don't know how many years this war will be fought and how many people will die.

The children in the camp were all dirty and ragged.

Half a month ago, some of them were rich widows who had no worries about food and clothing, and some were commoners who lived happily.

But on the day the demon clan invaded, everything they had was overthrown, and they were reduced to living only on human help.

"I know why the demon clan is coming. Chen Li asked again.

"It's not clear yet, we haven't received news from the front line yet, but I heard from these refugees that the demon clan is looking for something. Chen Tao replied.

When the demon clan called, the first to suffer must be the border of the human world, and Yuezhou City was also among them.

Now the four masters of Yuezhou City must be very busy.

"The demon clan is attacking, what does the family say?" Chen Li asked, this matter was related to himself.

"The four lords ordered martial law throughout the city, pacified these refugees, and waited for the empire to send reinforcements. Chen Tao replied.

Chen Li stopped, the city gate was in front of him, there were several sheds, inside which people from the four major families were giving porridge, and the refugees were all holding bowls and waiting in line to put the porridge.

"What if the reinforcements don't arrive, the demon army will come?"

"The head of the family said that he would fight until there was only one person left in the Chen family, after all, the foundation of the Chen family was here. ”

Chen Li nodded, living in a peaceful era, he only heard about the cruelty of war in books.

This time, he felt it first-hand, and he was deeply shocked.

But this is only the tip of the iceberg, the real cruelty is on the front line, not here.

"There must have been a lot of people who lost their lives on the front lines of the war by now. Chen Li was overwhelmed with emotion, and looked at the barren mountain, he had just returned from there, and even killed a lot of demon beasts there.

Before he left the mountain, he found that the demon beasts had killed many more people than the demon beasts he had killed.

Wang Bing, who was riding on the back of the Spirit Fox King, was much more worried than Chen Li, and his eyes were looking in the opposite direction from Chen Li.

If you follow this direction, you can reach the most prosperous place in the human world, the Central Plains.
