Chapter 118: Fengcheng
The crowd that surrounded them had eyes full of fear and fear, as if they had just come back to their senses and realized something more terrible. The first one began to quietly retreat, he was worried that he would be the next to die!
"You all listen to me, if you want to survive, you can all listen to the arrangements of my subordinates and form a team to go to Fengcheng! The official messenger has already opened a warehouse over there to release grain, there is no need for chaos, whoever takes advantage of the chaos to make trouble will die!" Zheng Yichen said in a cold voice, at this time, the only thing that can deter them is death more terrible than fleeing!
A fierce-faced yelled, "Why should we believe you?"
As soon as the words fell, another sword light flashed, and everyone couldn't see the sword shadow clearly, and this person's head immediately fell to the ground, and blood flowed everywhere. In a moment, two headless corpses lay in the center of the crowd, completely awakening the madness and stupidity in everyone's hearts!
It was a little scary to be quiet for a while, Xiao Jian was secretly surprised behind him, when did the young master have such a skill? The sword light was so fast that he couldn't even see clearly, this is not something that ordinary swordsmen can do.
Zheng Yichen's swordsmanship is, of course, derived from Mo Ling, and among the classics collected in the Dragon Tomb, many mortal swordsmanship is quite profound! If you practice it to the extreme, you can also fly flowers and twist leaves to hurt people! But if you don't cultivate yourself and your life, you will eventually turn into ashes. Zheng Yichen has been secretly cultivating for several days, and no one knows.
"Because I am the only one who knows how to live, what are the chances of you running away now? The same is death! These two people just took advantage of the chaos and hacked to death eight innocent people, and you can see for yourself the corpses around you, all of which were caused by your own turmoil. Either follow me now and you will have a way to live, or you will flee by yourself and find a way to live with a faint opportunity!
The people have long been dispossessed, and seeing the corpse that was killed in the chaos just now, at this time, they finally came to their senses, and if they robbed it at this time, how many people could live?
If there is a hope, everyone would rather choose to grab! It is better to have hope than no hope, although everyone is flustered, but they are not stupid! After thinking about it for a while, since the person in front of him said that there is a way to live with him, he is only afraid that there is, otherwise why lie to everyone? Immediately listen to what Zheng Yichen said, and plan to go to Fengcheng.
"Since everyone has no objections, go with me! I have a word first, if anyone dares to continue to take advantage of the chaos, don't blame me for leaving no one under the sword!" After speaking, he threw the sword, and the sword body was inserted straight into the scabbard on Xiao Jian's waist.
Xiao Jian's eyes were shocked, and he touched the sword on his waist, and a trace of cold sweat slipped through his vest, if he had leaned a little just now, he would have been stabbed in the waist!
Hearing Zheng Yichen's order, he hurriedly stepped forward to organize, lined up according to the old, weak, and strong, helped the soldiers who had just been knocked and rolled up, and dressed to guard them together. Zheng Yichen led the crowd and slowly marched towards Fengcheng.
...
Fengcheng is an ordinary city on the south branch of the Sui River, because of the higher terrain, so it is protected from the impact of floods, and has also become the center of Zhang Zimo's command of disaster relief.
Originally, if there were only a few of them, they would have been able to arrive in the afternoon on horseback, but with a large number of people, the speed slowed down. And there are many homeless people joining along the way, so that the team is getting bigger and bigger!
In the early morning of the next day, the crowd arrived not far outside the city, and a corner of the city could be seen in the distance! The crowd they met on the way together was close to more than 300 people!
Zheng Yichen's face finally eased a little, turned to the people who lined up and followed behind him, and said loudly: "Folks, Fengcheng has arrived! You have to keep order, don't run around, there are imperial court troops guarding here and distributing food." Listen to my arrangement, everyone has a way to live!"
He also instructed Xiao Jian: "You go in quickly to inform the city, prepare a porridge stall, send someone out to respond, and arrange food and a place to live!" Xiao Jian hurriedly drove his horse and took the lead in running to the city!
Zheng Yichen's words made the people's low heads rise one after another, and through a slight light in the early morning, they saw the neat city in front of them, against the backdrop of the clouds on the horizon, like a pure land paradise. Everyone's already indifferent mood rose with a trace of excitement!
Facing the early morning glow, Zheng Yichen led the people and slowly approached the city, and sure enough, a team of sergeants on the opposite side also came out to greet them, they set up tents, set up several porridge stalls at the city gate, and were waiting. By the time the two teams had turned, the people were handed over to the soldiers to organize, distribute food, and arrange a place to live.
Zheng Yichen stood aside, watching the people line up and collect it in front of the porridge stall. Everything was silently orderly! His face was full of a sense of luck for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and he almost had a disaster of displaced people, and was turned invisible overnight! Then he saw that the red sun was about to rise in the east, full of vigor and vitality, and his heart was completely relieved.
Seeing that the people were properly settled, Zheng Yichen led the guards to turn around and leave!
Zheng Yichen and his entourage had the Hou Mansion to prove that the guards did not intercept them and let them come to the center of the city unimpeded.
In the palace, this place has been occupied by Zhang Zimo, a large number of clerks are busy shuttling among them, and the guards are strictly protecting the palace, and there is no time to rest, Zheng Yichen came directly to the backyard under the leadership of a guard. At this time, the backyard was already full of people, and many people were still discussing fiercely.
Zheng Yichen's arrival made the backyard immediately quiet, and everyone turned their heads with curiosity to watch, they had heard about the arrival of refugees in the morning. I secretly guessed what kind of person he was who actually defused the rioting homeless people! You must know that if this matter is stabbed, it will easily provoke a popular uprising, and when the time comes, the Hou Ye will blame him! No one will be able to end well!
Zhang Zimo sat at the top and waved his hand to signal Zheng Yichen to come to his side.
"Everyone, let me introduce, this is Master Zheng, the third son of Master Hou. The third prince appeased the refugees just now, I believe everyone has heard of it!"
Zhang Zimo stood up and took the initiative to introduce it, no matter what mentality or purpose everyone had, they all got up and said goodbye, Zheng Yichen did not support it, and humbly returned the salute one by one.
Waiting for everyone to see the courtesy, Zhang Zimo's face was full of appreciation:
"Yi Chen, you have done a good job all the way! If you let the people wander, it is easy to cause great chaos! The number of wandering people increases, and it is very easy for them to form gangsters and rebel everywhere! You brought them to Fengcheng and properly resettled, it is the best choice! You came late, everyone is now discussing the specific needs of money and food for this disaster relief, as well as the distribution, you can sit down and listen to it first, and you can also express some of your own thoughts. ”
Zheng Yichen nodded, sat next to Zhang Zimo, and then sounded seriously, as if he hadn't noticed Zhang Zimo's other side at all, sitting Zheng Yiheng, with a trace of unwillingness and jealousy in his eyes!
