Mo Han looked at the old man in front of him who was lying on his back, his eyes were cloudy, his voice was like a mosquito, and his two chapped lips did not even have a trace of blood.

He spread his hands in front of Mo Han, begging for a little food to survive.

Without waiting for Meng to comb his eyebrows to stop him, Mo Han took out a piece of bread from his arms and handed it to the old man.

"Eat."

Meng combed his eyebrows and said badly, and sure enough, seeing that there was food on them, those refugees had straight eyes and rushed towards them like crazy.

"If you have something to eat, give it to me."

It's hard to imagine how these people who have been hungry for so long can suddenly burst out with such tremendous power, they all know that they will die if they don't eat anymore, and they don't want to die yet.

Even if it's just a mouthful, it's better to be a full ghost than to live and suffer.

"Let's go!"

Meng combs his eyebrows and didn't want to kill these refugees, so he chose to flee in embarrassment.

The three of them fled in the desert by the refugees, and Meng looked back and found that at some point, his feet had left the ground.

Jing Qicheng grabbed her waist, toes a little, lifted his breath and performed light skills, and together with Mo Han, he took Meng to comb his eyebrows and threw the refugees away in the blink of an eye.

After making sure that those people couldn't catch up, Jing Qicheng put down Meng Comb's eyebrows.

"When I go back, teach me light skills."

It is really important to feel that when you run for your life, you will be able to work lightly.

"Please condemn the princess and princess."

Mo Han knelt on one knee, he was too careless, and almost put them in danger.

"Forget it, you didn't mean to."

If you can't save all the refugees, it's better not to save them, those people are already hungry, everyone can eat, and they can't do anything.

People must live first.

"Let's go to Luzhou City first."

This is already the case outside the city, and presumably the city must not be much better.

Luzhou, located in the Central Plains, is also a very rich place in Qingguo, where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and can pay a lot of grain to the court every year.

But in the past few years, the weather has been abnormal, and the river has flooded several times, washing away the land and houses.

The people were displaced, the people were struggling to make a living, and Luzhou became a desolate place.

The three of them were about to enter the city, but they were stopped by soldiers at the city gate.

"Who are you, what are you doing in Luzhou?"

"We are from other places, and when we pass through here, we also ask a few officials to make it convenient."

Mo Han stepped forward and said.

The soldiers waved their hands and said that no one could enter Luzhou now.

"Why? We haven't heard of Luzhou being locked down? ”

Meng combed his eyebrows and got off the horse, took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve, and quietly stuffed them into the soldier's hands.

A few soldiers saw that Meng was quite good at doing things, so they explained: "It's not because Prince Chen is coming in a few days, the prefect said that since those refugees outside have run away, they don't want them to come back, in case they are seen by King Chen." ”

I see.

Meng combed his eyebrows and said with a smile: "A few officials, we are really in a hurry, we need to borrow from here, we won't stay too long, I said, you don't look like refugees, don't you?" ”

Saying that, he stuffed them with some benefits in a very interesting way, and a few soldiers discussed it and let them in.

The streets of Luzhou are empty, like a ghost town.

Meng Combrow rode a horse and looked at the shops with closed doors on both sides, the signboards at the door had been crooked, and it was obvious that they had not been opened for a long time.

"It seems that the magistrate has put a lot of thought into welcoming you."

It is estimated that he was worried that after Jing Qicheng came, he would see those refugees with yellow faces and thin muscles like skeletons, which would make Jing Qicheng blame them, so the prefect would rather lock those refugees out of the city than let them come back.

Pity those who have fled, even if they want to go home, there is nothing they can do.

Even the soldiers defending the city are open-minded when they see money, can they expect the prefect to be any better?

"I don't think there's an inn open in the city, so let's just find a place to stay tonight."

If they hadn't come to Luzhou first, it would have been difficult to see the truth.

The people in the palace are all going through the pipeline, presumably since those officials have sealed Luzhou, they will not give those refugees a chance to get close to Jing Qicheng.

They just want to whitewash the peace and keep their black hats, and it has nothing to do with them how many refugees die.

Since entering Luzhou, Jing Qicheng doesn't seem to have smiled.

He has always been the prince, and he must have been very moved to see the people of Qingguo so pitiful.

Meng combs her eyebrows and is used to seeing life and death, and she has never been merciful to the wicked, but she doesn't want to see anyone shed blood in vain.

She said softly to Jing Qicheng: "It's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself." ”

"Isn't it my fault?"

Jing Qicheng smiled, as a prince, enjoying the wealth that ordinary people can't reach, he has to do things that ordinary people can't do.

This is the royal responsibility.

"I know that my father has always wanted to severely punish those corrupt officials, but do you know that whether it is a magistrate or a member of the court, they are all complicit in enriching their own pockets."

The prince was afraid of offending people, so he took the initiative to recommend Jing Qicheng.

Corrupt officials are not just killed, things are not so simple.

They are the moths of Qingguo, but Qingguo also needs these people to defend the imperial power.

The emperor saw it clearly, so he never touched these corrupt officials.

Jing Qicheng's errand is really not easy to do.

There was a pigeon hovering in the sky, Jingqi Makoto whistled, and the pigeon landed.

He removed the letter from the pigeon's leg and unfolded the note inside.

"Chunxing, they have two days to arrive."

"Well, let's stay here for the next two days."

They found a vacant house at random, and it was fairly clean, and it was evident that the fleeing had gone in a hurry, bringing only gold and silver, and the rest of the things were still there.

Because there was no rice and noodles, they could only eat the dry food they carried with them, and Meng combed his eyebrows and chewed the cake that was already hard like a stone, and felt that his teeth were about to be knocked out.

What is there to complain about? It's nice to have something to eat.

"Childe, please let our family go, my daughter is only fourteen years old, she can't go with you."

The people from the palace had not yet arrived, Jing Qicheng asked Mo Han to pick him up, he and Meng Comb Mei took a look in Luzhou City, who knew that he happened to see a man in splendid clothes commanding the family to rob people.

A ragged woman on the ground knelt and kowtowed, followed by a thin girl.

"Shut up! It's just that I'm a little bored these days to fall in love with your daughter, which is your blessing! ”
