Volume 1 Burning Chapter 98 Relief of Refugees
There are three kinds of kings in the Wanqin Empire, one is the "prince", the second is the "county king", and the third is the "vassal king". Generally, the one-character king is the prince, and the two-character king is the county king and the vassal king.
The emperor's son was crowned prince, and the prince's son was crowned the prince of the county, and in terms of title, the prince had a higher rank. Usually, the title is downgraded to the rank of prince, and the son of the prince is demoted to the rank of prince of the county...... However, there is the so-called "Iron Hat King" hereditary reckless and will never be demoted.
Vassal King: Usually those who receive this title are members of the clan who have made great achievements in war, military meritorious heroes, or leaders of local powers. It has a large fief, has independent military power and administrative power in the fief, and guards one side.
However, after 80 years of the continental calendar, the Wanqin Empire carried out several actions to eliminate the feudal domain, of course, several military conflicts were inevitable, and the king of Zhennan at that time gave up all the military and administrative powers in the fief for the first time, and only then did he return to the title of "hereditary replacement" of the king of Zhennan. It was divided into Nanyang City, revoked the military power, and the maximum number of guards was 1,000, but it had the power to interfere in local administration, and its power was above the Taishou, but it was directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor.

When the scrawny refugees saw a group of soldiers walking around a man in brocade, they knew that his identity must be unusual, and the refugees gathered around him knelt on the ground, clasped their hands together and prayed.
"Sir, save us! We haven't eaten for three days! Have mercy on us!" The refugees in front of them bowed their heads one after another, and the refugees in the back did not know what was going on in front of them, and when they saw the people in front of them bowing and bowing, they also knelt down, and for a time the whole group of refugees wept and bowed one after another.
Qin Jingshan was also sympathetic when he saw such a scene, it was difficult to describe the miserable appearance of the refugees in front of him in words, and during the period of time he came, he found that no one from the government had dealt with this matter, and the fire of anger couldn't help but ignite.
He said to the guards standing aside: "Where did the people from the Nanyang City Government go? Didn't anyone come to relieve these refugees?"
Shou will be on the city gate has long reflected this kind of problem to the garrison, but the garrison excused himself and said that these are the duties of the Taishou, and he has no right to intervene, and the Taishou is also the resignation of the Nanyang granary is empty, and it has long been unable to make ends meet, how can there be food relief for the refugees below, and if it is prosperous today, it is inevitable that these refugees are instructed to come to destroy the achievements of Nanyang City, and they issued an order to close the city gate and drive the people below away.
No matter how unwilling the guard general is in his heart, he is helpless about this matter, he is in this position, and he has no right to interfere with the orders of the garrison and the guard, and now the prince is coming, and the guard will also say his grievances.
"Tell the prince, Taishou said that the granary of Nanyang is empty, and he has long been unable to make ends meet, and there is not a grain of grain to help the refugees, and he also said that if the era is prosperous today, it is inevitable that these refugees are instructed. The words spoken by the guard general did not add any fuel or vinegar, but they made Qin Jingshan extremely angry.
"Ren Wu listens to the order! Take my token to the Nanyang granary to transport grain and distribute relief!" Qin Jingshan said sternly, and the voice reached the ears of the refugees kneeling in front of him, and the sound of crying and kneeling became even higher.
Ren Wu took the token with both hands, turned over and galloped away with the group. The refugees who knelt down no matter how Qin Jingshan ordered, but they couldn't afford to kneel all the time.
Not long after the cavalry left, there was a sound of shouting from the corridor under the gate of Nanyang City.
"One-two-three, let's one!One-two-three, let's one!One-two-three, let's one!One-two-three, let's one!"
Qin Jingshan and the guards turned their heads to look, only to see the cart with no end in sight in a line formation, driving towards the door, and a large pot of cooked gruel was placed on the cart, which was steaming faintly, and then Li Xiangfeng, Yu Yan, Lei Tian, and Gray Gary led more than a dozen people to run to the front of the cart with wooden sticks.
Out of the city gate, Li Xiangfeng recognized Qin Jingshan at first sight, hurriedly ran over, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Lord Wang! The grass people are ready to relieve the refugees, and I also ask the prince to let the soldiers defending the city let them go!"
Seeing that there were dozens of carts in this team, Qin Jingshan was also very surprised when these guys had prepared so many carts and porridge, but he was in a hurry, and ordered the guards beside him: "Release a hole and let them out!"
Li Xiangfeng thanked him and ran back to the team.
Seeing that the hot food was in front of them, the refugees did not feel that they stood up and rushed forward, but they were all blocked by the soldiers defending the city, and could not advance at all, crying and begging for permission to go, and pushing and shoving hard.
"Listen to me!" Li Xiangfeng shouted loudly, the voice he just shouted was drowned out by the noisy crowd, and after shouting two or three times, Li Xiangfeng was completely speechless, and he didn't count the chaos of the crowd, they couldn't hear any sound at all, and it would be better if there was a magician at this time to do a sound amplification technique, Li Xiangfeng sighed.
Seeing Li Xiangfeng fall into this situation, Qin Jingshan also stared at Li Xiangfeng and the others with a calm face, such a chaotic scene, it was up to him to see how he could get through this level.
Groups of refugees rushed to the cart for food as if they had seen a life-saving baby, but the soldiers in front of them were like demons blocking them, holding their hopes tightly and stopping.
The guard general also protected Qin Jingshan for the first time and signaled Qin Jingshan to retreat.
Of course, Li Xiangfeng understands the current situation, and if he doesn't stop the refugees, I'm afraid that after these refugees break through the defense and rob these carts, it will trigger a bloody suppression, Li Xiangfeng will not think that these refugees will obey the rules when they run into the city, nor will he think that the soldiers defending the city will let these refugees enter the city, I am afraid that at that time, these refugees will suffer under the order of the guard.
These refugees must be calmed down first, talking doesn't work, it can only be shocked, after Li Xiangfeng muttered in Gray Gary's ear, Gray Gary showed a weird smile, threw the wooden stick on the ground, and moved his muscles and bones in place, twisting left and right!
On this day, the refugees who rushed in front of them were paralyzed on the ground as if they had fallen into stupidity, not daring to look at what they saw, and the demon attached itself to a man's body as if it had come from hell, tearing the flesh apart, and the earth trembled with the sound of a tearing roar, and the bloody and disgusting air filled his nostrils.
Today, I saw a scene outside Nanyang City that I will never forget.
A wolf-like humanoid demon with a height of two and a half meters broke out of the body of a young man, the wolf's hind legs were slightly bent, the front legs stretched forward, and he swooped downward.
The smell of fish rushed in, and the refugees in front of them were paralyzed on the ground in horror, some of them were already retching, and some of the refugees in the distance had begun to run backwards.
Woo ~ Roar! Woo Woo ~ Woo Woo ~ Roar!
In the sunlight, the wolf bared its sharp fangs and spat out its blood-red tongue, sticky saliva spurting out of its mouth, screaming at the crowd around it.
"Evil, evil, demon, run, run, run!" A refugee paralyzed on the ground shook his right hand and pointed at Gray Gary, wanting to run backwards in his heart, but his body was no longer obedient and unable to move, only paralyzed on the ground, looking at the demon in horror.
The sudden change made the soldiers also at a loss, if they hadn't been trained in peacetime, they would have already become a mess now, and now they were all staring at this tall monster vigilantly.
"Phantom Beast Master?" Qin Jingshan observed from the side, and felt more and more interesting to these guys in his heart, there was actually a Phantom Beast Master, the small mercenary group was really "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the guards of the South City Gate were also vigilantly staring at the refugees, while staring at this Phantom Beast Master, for fear that the Phantom Beast Master would be unfavorable to the prince, if the prince had an accident beside him, he would definitely not be able to escape the blame.
Gray Gary was still quite satisfied with this effect, wandering back and forth in a big way, if the driver of the cart hadn't explained loudly behind him, he would have run away, or the dozen or so helpers hired to maintain law and order also mostly dropped the sticks on the ground.
"Alright, you're acting in front of these people who haven't seen a phantom beast master. Li Xiangfeng threw a coat to the werewolf and motioned for Gray Gary to transform back into himself.
In front of everyone's eyes, the demon slowly turned into an ordinary person, wrapped in a fat shirt, and smiled proudly there.
"The effect is good!" Li Xiangfeng was very satisfied with the rare calm now, and took advantage of the current time Li Xiangfeng shouted loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers! We are here to bring you food, we will go out in a while, don't mess around, don't rob, you have a share!"
Seeing that the demonic beast disappeared and changed into a young man, the tense nerves of the soldiers also relaxed slightly, and some of them cursed in a low voice on the side, "What are you kidding, there is such a play, if you don't tell the labor and management earlier, you will almost scare the labor and management to pee!"
When the soldier next to him heard this, he laughed and sneered at the soldier who was complaining just now: "Look at your little bit of talent, see that those refugees haven't talked about scaring pee, you are quite a big man, and you are still afraid of this!"
"You said they!" the complaining soldier turned his head to look at the refugees and yelled at the refugees in front of him, "Hey, boy, were you scared just now?"
The refugee was discouraged and could no longer distinguish gender, and when he heard the soldier speak to himself again, he replied resignedly: "Army, army, military master, the slave family is not a boy, I am so scared that I don't pee out, I haven't drunk water for two days, and I can't pee!"
When the woman finished speaking, the soldiers around her burst into laughter, and before the laughter was over, she was kicked to the ass by the captain behind her.
