Even if the thieves had the upper hand for a while, Shen Yu still unhurriedly blocked the arrows and enemies that attacked her by Xia Qingyu's side. Just when the thieves cheered and thought that they were about to win a big victory, the prince and Yang Qi rushed up with their men and horses at great speed, and together with Shen Yu, they captured a large number of murderous and extremely carried away thieves who fell into the net.

Xia Qingyu couldn't help but cheer when she saw that she had won a battle: "Wow, we won, yes, hehe" Shen Yu looked at her happy appearance, reached out and touched her head, and smiled. Prince Nan Xiangmo couldn't help but ask when he saw Xia Qingyu so happy: "It's the first time that Xia Gongzi has seen such a big battle scene." "yes. It's my first time watching it, and I feel intense and exciting. ”

Xia Qingyu said with a smile. Prince Nan Xiangmo smiled: "This time this batch of large-scale thieves is served, I think no one will dare to make trouble along the way, but after arriving in Xinyang County, there should be a lot of bandit scenes of such a scale." Xia Gongzi should be careful. Xia Qingyu smiled indifferently: "It's just right that they came by themselves, so we don't have to chase and beat them, and they will kill one by one." It's been a long time since I've been on a killing spree, and this time I'm going to have a good time. ”

Shen Yu shook his head helplessly when he heard this. Prince Nan Xiangmo laughed when he heard this, and he was surprised where Shen Yu picked up such an interesting girl, Shen Yu didn't say it, he also figured out that this son named Xia Yu was a woman at the beginning, but he didn't break it.

On the way to Xinyang County, it was indeed as the prince said, and the road was peaceful and peaceful. It's just that when everyone enters the territory of Xinyang County, you can see everywhere the people in tattered clothes and skinny people digging weeds and chewing tree roots on the roadside on the mountains and roads, and many even starve to death on the roadside.

Xia Qingyu saw a woman kneeling on the side of the road holding a dying eight or nine-year-old child, kowtowing to them and begging: "Please give me something to eat." Please, save my son, save him, he is about to starve to death, please, sir, please" Xia Qingyu couldn't help but walk over when she saw that they were extremely pitiful, took out two pieces of pancake in her arms and handed them to them.

The woman saw that there was something to eat, and before Xia Qingyu could hand the cake to her, her eyes glowed as viciously as a hungry wolf, and she pounced fiercely and snatched the pancake from her hand. Seeing the woman's ferocious appearance, Xia Qingyu was so frightened that Xia Qingyu took a few steps back, and what was even more terrifying was that the hungry people on the mountain on the side of the road rushed down like hungry wolves when they saw that she had something to eat.

Seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, Shen Yu hurriedly told Yang Qi to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and relief food, so he flew forward to pull Xia Qingyu back, but in just a moment, the two of them were surrounded by hungry people. Shen Yu quickly pulled out Xia Qingyu's sword when they surrounded them, holding the sword in front of her, while Xia Qingyu was stunned, only staring at the group of beasts around them with a purring sound in their throats, and their vicious eyes were filled with hope, longing and pitiful complexity.

Xia Qingyu shrank behind Shen Yu in fear, and asked quietly: "What should I do this time" Shen Yu glanced back at her and said comfortingly: "It's okay, I can handle it." Although all the hungry people wanted to rush up and grab it directly, they were all afraid of the sword in Shen Yu's hand.

Shen Yu slowly pointed his sword at them, glanced coldly at these hungry people, shocked them for a while, and used eight points of internal strength to think about the more and more hungry people who were surrounded and said in a deep voice: "Fellow rural fathers and elders of Xinyang County, I am Shen Yu, the general sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief to you. I know you're hungry right now, and believe me, if you get out of the way now and let us into the city, someone will distribute relief food to you right away, and if you don't want to grab it, I'm afraid you won't be able to get past the sword in our hands. ”

All the hungry people, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, and one of them said for a while: "How can we believe you, the court has ignored us in the past two months, and so many people have starved to death, how can we believe you." "Yes, yes, how can we believe you," the crowd was suddenly excited, and they rebuked one by one.

Shen Yu replied coldly: "It's not that the imperial court doesn't care, it's just that it takes time to transport grain, if you still insist on this, believe me, in the end you will either be killed by us or starve to death."

Xia Qingyu looked at Shen Yu, who was as cold as ice in front of her, and her heart was shocked, he had always been as gentle as the warm sun in winter, she had never seen him like this, exuding terrifying courage, and thought to herself, it turned out that this was his side as a general. At such a critical and urgent moment of anger, Xia Qingyu felt Shen Yu's coldness all over her body, but she was thinking about this terrifying coldness, as if she had seen it in someone, and who that person was, she couldn't remember it. She felt that the man existed, and that it was important, as familiar and yet distant as the voice she heard calling out to her that day.

Shen Yu saw that Yang Qi and the crown prince had also been surrounded by the hungry people, and his heart began to become heavier and heavier. At this time, the prince who was sitting in the carriage stood up and raised his voice to the people around him: "If you don't believe the words of General Shen, then you should always believe the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." What do you mean by sending this king to personally deliver relief food to you today, but you are holding us outside the city?" It's really the crown prince. Suddenly there was a huge commotion among the hungry people, and everyone was very excited.

Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot out of the hungry people and shot at the chest of the prince standing in the carriage at great speed, Yang Qi exclaimed: "Your Royal Highness the prince be careful", but it was too late, he couldn't save him and could only watch the arrow shoot straight over. At the moment when the arrow was shot, it was caught by the corner of Shen Yu's eyes, and he quickly took out the folding fan from his arms, and when the sharp arrow was about to pierce the chest of Prince Nan Xiangmo, Shen Yu raised the folding fan in his hand and flew over, hitting the sharp arrow and knocking it down.

At this time, the city gate was opened, and the Xinyang County Government led a large number of guards and soldiers to rush out, disperse the hungry people around, and knelt in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to apologize: "Minister Yang Wenyu is late to save the car and beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive his sins." I saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised his hand to signal him to get up, and ordered: "Escort the relief grain in first, and then open a warehouse to cook porridge to help the people." The assassin's affair Admiral Yang has already gone to arrest him. ”

"Your Ministers obey." Yang Wenyu immediately ordered his men to drive the hungry people aside so that General Shen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who were escorting the disaster relief food, could lead the team into the city. When the hungry people saw that it was really the prince, and then saw the carts of grain, they burst into tears in an instant, and shouted with great excitement: "Grain, it's really food." We are saved. Woo, we're saved. "I took the initiative to step aside.

Xia Qingyu couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at the scene of those hungry ordinary people hugging each other with snot and tears, burying their heads and crying, and felt very uncomfortable. Suddenly, the loud voices of the common people came from behind him, and I saw them kneeling on the ground in unison and shouting in unison: "Long live the saint, long live, long live." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose. "Until they entered the city, the voices of the common people chanting Banzai Chitose continued to reach their ears, hitting everyone's hearts like a boulder.
