Feng Chengqian thought of something and asked directly, "Where is the village chief?"

In response to the sound of the crowd, a trembling old man walked out of the crowd, and walked in front of Feng Chengqian step by step on crutches. Although he is the village chief, he is also dressed in rags and has a thin face, and he looks like he is usually full and hungry.

After careful inquiry, the truth taught the expressions of everyone present to be clouded with a layer of obscurity.

It stands to reason that the hunters rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and hunt for a living, even if they can't be rich and rich, but it shouldn't be a problem to make a living, after all, the people of Zhenlin have always survived like this.

But a year ago, an order was suddenly issued from above, restricting the people from hunting!

The forest hunting area near the town is roughly divided, a very small part of which is not restricted, and a large part is not allowed to hunt anyone, but where there are people secretly hunting, the first time it is found is a punishment with a cane, and the second time it is found that it is ruthlessly expelled, and if the situation is serious, it will even be directly killed!

The perimeter of the forbidden area is generally set up with a post station, which is supervised by its own soldiers, and it is difficult for the people to take advantage of the loopholes, so they can only obey the orders to hunt in the divided small area.

However, not to mention that there are many monks and few porridges, most of those areas are guarded by the people of the villages and towns around the area, and the neighboring villages are not allowed to "rob", and the competition is extremely fierce.

As a result, the villagers, who were far away from the hunting area, were completely cut off from their food sources.

The biggest source of food for the people is the mountains and forests, and they are not allowed to hunt, which is tantamount to choking them by the throat and forcing them to die!

The situation is so bad here, and the villages around the hunting areas are not much better.

Human demand for food has increased suddenly, and naturally many hunters have taken the opportunity to hunt and trade, and the forest ecology has lost its balance, and there are fewer and fewer animals, and the situation is getting worse and worse, and the people are naturally living more difficult.

Originally, there was at least half a year when the climate was warm enough to open up the land for planting, but everyone was struggling to make a living, not to mention whether they had the energy to reclaim the land, and even the seeds were eaten by them as life-saving food!

The aunt said that her husband and father-in-law did not die, but only went to a distant place, but in fact, everyone except her believed that the two members of her family must be dead.

If you want to ask the reason, it is that in order to survive, the hunters can only secretly go to the border with the Turks where there is no army stationed...... Some people even sneaked directly into the Turkic territory to hunt, just to be able to make a harvest and feed their families!

There are not a few people who take risks, and they are generally the hunters from the surrounding villages who go together, and a dozen people take care of each other in a small team. However, after arriving at the destination, in order not to attract the attention of the Turkic army, they had to scatter in all directions, return to the team after three days of hunting, and then rush back to the village in unison, bringing back the fruits of the hunt, that is, the hope of survival.

At first, the situation was fine, but the more they went, the Turks naturally noticed it, and they sent many soldiers to patrol these gray areas, and once they caught the hunters, they killed them on the spot.

Therefore, every time the hunters go out now, it is tantamount to death, and only a few who are lucky enough to escape back, carrying a small amount of food, and living with their families.

This is completely tantamount to exchanging their own lives for the lives of their own families. If you are unlucky, you can't even save your family, so you can only die in a foreign country, and you can't even find the corpse!

This terrible story sounds like a fantasy, but it has really happened in front of everyone's eyes......

Liu Yun was worried when he heard this, turned his head to look at Feng Chengqian, and saw that Feng Chengqian's face was already pale, and his hands were clenched into fists, but he still couldn't stop shaking, suppressing the monstrous anger in his heart.

So the question is, why did the higher authorities order that most of the hunting areas should be enclosed off-limits?

The reason given above is that the hunters have over-hunted and destroyed the forest, so they have set aside forbidden areas to "protect" them, so as to benefit thousands of generations.

But it's all bullshit!

This generation of people is dying of hunger, how can we take care of the next generation? Thousands of generations?

In fact, all of this is just an excuse to satisfy selfish desires.

The military special hunting area was demarcated, and after fattening the prey, the skin was peeled off and sold to Xiliang and the surrounding countries, and the meat was sold to the people in Dayue Pass at a low price.

There were even some tigers and wolves who sold meat to the equally desolate Turks for silver.

This is simply taking the flesh and blood of the people of Zhenlin and raising the hungry wolves of the Turks!

In time, all the people of Zhenlin have fallen, but the strength of the Turks is increasing day by day, and Binghe is facing each other again, and Zhenlin still has the strength to fight?!

After Feng Chengqian heard this, the fierce color between his eyebrows became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't disperse it for a long time.

He looked at the timid and gloomy eyes of the villagers, and then at the barren and dilapidated village behind them...... This town is obviously far from what he remembers, and it is no longer half of the splendid and comfortable it used to be......

He sighed heavily, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

He was old, not the fiery temperament of the year, but patted the village chief on the shoulder: "Have you ever drunk horse broth?"

The village chief shook his head into a rattle.

Unlike other animals, horses have a large purpose, are expensive, and are not usually used for food.

Feng Chengqian hooked the corners of his mouth as if smiling: "Coincidentally, I haven't drunk horse broth either, but today I borrowed my wife's blessing, and it seems that I am fortunate to have a taste."

The village chief naturally noticed that Feng Chengqian's identity was not ordinary, at least it was not those evil soldiers who usually came to deliver food, not only could not send any good things, but also tried their best to exploit and deduct them, which was despicable.

The village chief hurriedly sent someone to bring a few chairs and a large pot.

Feng Chengqian was not verbose, and ordered the soldiers to come forward to help deal with it, cut off the fattest pieces of meat on the horse, and sent them to the pot after cleaning.

Set up a fire, pour in the soup and condiments, and burn it with the highest heat. Liu Yun was happy, and when no one was paying attention, she actually took out a bag of dried shiitake mushrooms from her arms, which was the icing on the cake.

The fire gurgled and soon burned the smell of meat, and the thick smoke rushed straight to the sky, scalding all the surrounding snowflakes.

The villagers had endured hunger and cold for an unknown amount of time, and it was not until this moment that all of them gradually came to life, felt the warmth of life, and felt that they were indeed still alive in this world.

Some people couldn't even help but cry with joy and couldn't stop.

In the face of all this, Feng Chengqian couldn't laugh.

He sat down not far from the campfire without saying a word, and when the meat in the pot was completely cooked, the soldiers scooped the meat and soup for the villagers one by one, giving them warm comfort in this cold winter.

And when everyone had eaten almost, the people sent out by Feng Chengqian finally came back......

Just listening to the horses' hooves, the whole land was in an extremely noisy movement, and when I looked up, the Xuanjia soldiers came with more than 20 generals. When they got closer, the soldiers unceremoniously raised their spears and forced the generals to dismount.

Everyone was uneasy and dissatisfied, especially the leaders who felt that they had been offended and were about to get angry, but when they turned their heads, they saw Feng Chengqian and Liu Yunyi sitting on the left and right beside the bonfire, looking at them for a long time.

Everyone panicked, and hurriedly dismounted to meet Feng Chengqian.

"My subordinates have seen the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

It wasn't until this moment that the villagers were completely stunned, it turned out that today's noble lord was His Royal Highness King Zhenlincheng!

Feng Chengqian's expression was a little absent-minded, he glanced at the ministers, pointed to the big pot behind him, and asked with a smile: "Just now the king left on the throne, presumably you didn't eat comfortably, and it happened that the horse broth was cooked, why don't you all come and taste it?"

Who dares to do this, this!

Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all set their eyes on Reg and the others.

Reg also feels that he is the boss, and he can speculate about Feng Chengqian's current anger, but he is not the only one who made the decision at the beginning, and now in terms of responsibility, he naturally has no responsibility! Fadu was pushed on him alone.

Thinking like this, he became a little stiffer, and strengthened his courage, he stood up and straightened his clothes for himself, and then walked closer to Feng Chengqian, and arched his hand: "Lord, I don't know why the prince summoned us here?"

Feng Chengqian ignored his doubts, and still smiled: "Do you want some horse broth?"

Reg quickly shook his head: "No, no!"

"Really?"

"Not really!"

Feng Chengqian raised his eyebrows: "General Lei is polite." It is said that people have to eat enough before they go on the road, if they are hungry on the Huangquan Road, everyone in the underworld should laugh at the king for starving General Lei. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

General Na Lei was stunned fiercely, and then his face was as white as paper.

"Lord Wang! Rajah! Don't be joking, you can't talk nonsense, your subordinates and subordinates are loyal to you, why do you want to treat your subordinates like this!" He said in a hurry as he bowed his hand to Feng Chengqian.

Unexpectedly, the soldier on the side saw this, stepped forward and kicked him in the knee fiercely.

Reg couldn't help but let out a miserable scream, and the whole person fell to his knees, and a trace of annoyance flashed on his face, but seeing Feng Chengqian's gloomy face, he hurriedly kowtowed to Feng Chengqian: "Lord, don't listen to the instigation of traitors, no matter what your subordinates do, it is for the sake of calming down, and all your colleagues can testify for your subordinates!"

The soldiers behind him were named, and they could only echo two sentences.

But they couldn't help but be stunned in their hearts, Feng Chengqian couldn't help but say that he ordered his cronies to arrest them, even if they wanted to do something to deal with it, they couldn't dispatch their subordinates for a while, so they could only let Feng Chengqian slaughter them, which was really a miscalculation.

Feng Chengqian still didn't speak, he picked up the firewood on the ground and threw it towards the fire, the flames soared, and the tongue of fire was so arrogant that it seemed to swallow the sky and the earth.

Seeing that Feng Chengqian didn't speak, Lei Ge secretly had a plan in his heart.

He touched his knee and slowly tried to stand up.

Unexpectedly, as soon as there was a move, Liu Yunyi smiled when he saw the excitement: "General Lei, did the prince let you get up?" Or do you really not take the prince seriously? ”

"Oh, princess, look at what you said, it's all a misunderstanding. The subordinates are just dissatisfied, the prince should not listen to the slander of the traitor, he suspects that the subordinates are disloyal, the subordinates and the generals have worked hard and conscientiously for the suppression of the forest over the years, even if they do something wrong, the prince should not kill us without saying anything!"
