We had just left Tengcheng for a while, and we didn't see how the war had affected the people. The people are still living in contentment, without the slightest fear or anxiety about the imminent war. Maybe it's because the war is still far away for them, or maybe they don't think it's possible to fight here, or maybe they don't even know that a brutal war is going on in a distant place.

But since leaving the realm of Shanxi, the situation has been different, and the simple and carefree countenance of people's faces has gradually been replaced by sorrow and fear. The street that should be bustling is very empty, and there is less of the pomp and circumstance of people coming and going at night, but there are many refugees who have fled from afar with their families. Some of those refugees were unclothed, some were yellow-skinned, and some were dying, which shocked those who saw them and felt pity.

If we said that before, we only heard about and imagined the suffering caused by the war, but after seeing these people, our hearts were greatly shocked and stimulated. Especially me, I feel that they have an unshirkable responsibility for themselves now, and I feel that the burden on them is heavier. I am even more determined to stop the war, not to let the war continue to spread, not to displace more innocent people, and to give these refugees peace.

We sympathize with them and can't bear to sit idly by and do what we can to help them. So we walked very slowly for the next few days.

It's not very far from Qidi, and we were going to help those in need while slowly rushing towards Qidi. But in the meantime we heard terrible news that we could no longer care about the refugees and had to rush to Qidi as fast as we could.

The terrible news we heard was that the Beirong people in the north of Great Qin had gathered 200,000 troops to suppress the border, and wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in Great Qin to attack Great Qin.

When we first heard the news, although we were very worried about the safety of Daqin, we believed in the character of King Qi, although he and the emperor had some disagreements, but I believed that when Daqin was facing life and death, he would definitely stop fighting with the emperor and guard the country of Daqin with the emperor.

However, we were mistaken, and we heard that instead of stopping the attack, Qidi's army further occupied several cities around Qidi.

If this news is true, then Daqin is in danger of destroying the country!

King Qi is really confused, no matter what suspicions their brothers have, they should also put away their suspicions at this time.

Originally, the emperor was attacked from two sides by the king of Qi and the king of Yu, and if you add 200,000 Beirong soldiers and horses, it will be a three-sided attack. The people of Beirong are tall and brave, but they are not easy to deal with. If the King of Qi continues to approach aggressively, the emperor may not be able to mobilize enough troops to block the attack of the Beirong people. I really can't imagine what the consequences would be if that happened.

No, we can't watch our land being invaded by the Beirong people, and we can't let our people be humiliated by the Beirong people!

We knew that the matter was urgent, and we didn't dare to delay any longer, so we rushed to Qidi day and night, intending to go to Qidi to find King Qi as soon as possible. Even if you can't persuade him to fight against the Beirong people with the emperor, you can persuade him to temporarily stop the war and wait for the emperor to solve the danger in the north before starting a war!

On this day, we were hurrying eastward, when we saw a long procession in the distance, and the line was very long, and there was no end in sight. I wondered, who are these people?

When we got closer, we saw clearly that these people were ordinary people, and they were carrying things on their backs, as if they had all their belongings on their backs, and some adults were not only carrying things on their backs, but also holding children in their hands. Each of them had on their faces the sorrow and helplessness of having to leave their homeland.

We stopped a middle-aged man in his forties and asked, "What's going on?" Where are you going? ”

The man seemed very annoyed that we had stopped him, glared wide-eyed, and exclaimed, "What's the matter! It's going to be a war, so don't run for your life! After saying that, he hurriedly left.

"Going to war?" I was taken aback. Thinking of the news I had heard earlier, I stopped a kind uncle and asked, "Uncle, where is the war?" ”

The uncle glanced at us and said kindly: "Young man, you and your friends should not go forward, there is a war ahead, so you should turn around and go back." "For convenience, I wore men's clothes all the way, and my uncle didn't see it.

"Really?" I hurriedly asked, "What's the place up ahead?" ”

The uncle said: "In front is Yecheng." ”

"Yecheng? You said that the Qi army has attacked Yecheng? "I was even more surprised. It's so fast, it's already hit Yecheng. Yecheng is very close to Shanxi, and if Yecheng is captured, then it will soon be attacked to Shanxi. If you get to Shanxi, then it is not far from the capital.

The uncle sighed again and again, his face full of sorrow, "Yes, we escaped from Yecheng." Boy, let's go, if you don't leave, the army will be killed. At the end of the day, there was a look of fear in his eyes.

I hurriedly said, "Thank you uncle for reminding us, let's go." Let's go! ”

Seeing off the uncle, I asked the three of them for their opinions. Qi Kuai and Jia Siwen both said that they wanted to bypass Yecheng and go to Qidi, and Xuan Feilun agreed after hearing it. I think they have a point, and I agreed.

Our purpose is to find the king of Qi to persuade him to stop fighting, so we should now go to Linfeng City, the capital of Qi, to find the king of Qi. I heard that the commander of the Qi army is the same Xiao Yao that we have never heard of, even if we go to Yecheng now, there is no way to stop the war, it is better to bypass Yecheng and go to Linfeng City as soon as possible.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! "We were about to turn around and go back, when we heard a shout, followed by a few screams, and we were taken aback, and when we looked back, we saw several men dressed as soldiers, rampaging through the crowd, and they fell all around, wailing all over the place. What's even more damning is that there are several children among them.

I am furious, these soldiers are not good at fighting, but they come to bully the defenseless people, it is too hateful. I couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed over without thinking, and Xuan Feilun and Jia Siwen immediately followed.

Those soldiers were so vulnerable that we were beaten all over the ground and begged for mercy in just a few moves, and I didn't have time to show my martial arts. The surrounding people saw that the fight had started, and no one watched the excitement, so they all fled for their lives.

The soldiers knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again begging for mercy, "A few heroes, spare your life!" Spare your life! ”

I pointed at them and scolded: "At the moment of the great enemy, what kind of ability are you not going to defend your home and defend the country, but you are here to bully the defenseless people!" Don't you feel ashamed? ”

Hearing this, three of the soldiers showed a look of shame on their faces, and the other soldier who looked very shrewd said: "We know that we are wrong, we don't dare anymore, please spare us." ”

I said, "It's okay to spare you, but you're not allowed to bully the people in the future." ”

They replied again and again, "Don't dare anymore, don't dare anymore." Thank you for sparing your life! ”

I was worried that they were just trying to deal with us, and they deliberately pretended to be fierce and vicious, and scared them: "If you dare to bully the common people again, let us know, you will definitely die an ugly death." ”

They shook their heads in fright, "We don't dare, we don't dare anymore!" ”

I didn't look like they were cheating, so I waved at them and said, "Okay, you guys go back to the army!" ”

When I heard this, those people looked at me, and I looked at you, with a look of fear on their faces. I'm more scared than I was when I scared them.
