I saw that the villages that were once leisurely but prosperous have now completely turned into ruins, obviously burned by the fire, and some are still smoking, which is really desolate.

What the hell is going on-

Shocked, Zhu Di subconsciously urged his mount and accelerated his advance, because he wanted to know what had happened before he got here. But this move immediately caused nervousness among several people around him, because Zhu Di was not the only one who was surprised by the scene in front of him.

"My lord, be careful."

Zheng He on the side reminded softly.

Before the words fell, Wu Pingwen, who was also following closely, suddenly jumped forward and shouted,

"Who? Come out! ”

Everyone was stunned, and looked at his sharp gaze, but saw a few people in a broken wall not far away.

Zhu Di swept his eyes and felt that those were just ordinary people, so he turned his head to Zheng He and said,

"Sanbao, you go over and ask those people, who made this place look like this. Be careful, don't scare them, it seems that these people are just ordinary people. ”

"Minions understand."

With a word of agreement, Zheng He jumped off his horse and walked slowly towards the ruins.

Seeing someone coming, the people hiding there were a little frightened, but the person who came was kind and quiet-looking, and his eyes were very friendly when he looked at them, and a few of the more daring ones kept looking at him curiously.

When he was more than a dozen steps away, Zheng He stopped and arched his hand slightly,

"Are you local villagers? His Royal Highness the King of Yan of my family asked me to come down and ask, is there something going on here? Why did it become such a field? ”

"Yan Wang ......"

When one of the men heard this, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Zheng He carefully for a while, and then looked at the team a little farther away.

"This official, are you talking about His Royal Highness King Yan? King Yan, is he really here?! ”

"yes,"

I don't know what kind of reaction these people will have, so Zheng He intended to appease him,

"It is true that His Royal Highness King Yan is here with people, but please don't be afraid, the men and horses led by His Royal Highness will not do anything to harm you......"

"Of course we do!"

The man jumped up excitedly, turned back to the people who were still hiding behind him, and shouted,

"It's His Royal Highness King Yan! His Royal Highness King Yan is really here! ”

"Really!"

In the blink of an eye, a large group of villagers came out of nowhere, men, women and children, and there were hundreds of people, all of whom looked excited, and asked expectantly,

"Where is Your Highness? Has he already come to the capital? ”

"Your Highness has arrived, right over there,"

Seeing the reaction of the villagers, Zheng He was really a little surprised, and nodded while looking at the group of people and replied,

"Because I was leading the people and horses, I was afraid of disturbing the villagers, so I didn't come, may I ask what you are ......?"

"We're just waiting for King Yan!"

The man came to Zheng He in a few steps and said,

"We are all desperate people, a few days ago a little brother came here and gave us a lot of silver, let us wait here for King Yan, saying that His Royal Highness will definitely make decisions for us. We've all been waiting here for days. ”

"There's a little brother......

Zheng He's eyes lit up and asked,

"Are you talking about a young man in a blue shirt with a dragon sword in his hand?"

"Exactly, a good-looking little brother."

The man nodded repeatedly.

Zheng He was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that what they were talking about must be the person he was thinking in his heart, he instantly put his heart at ease and said,

"Okay, I'll take you to see King Yan, what do you think?"

"Thank you, sir!"

The man was as happy as if something, turned around and waved his hand,

"Folks, let's go, let's go see His Royal Highness King Yan and ask him to call the shots for us!"

"Let's go, let's go......"

Everyone helped the old and the young out of the hiding place and followed behind Zheng He.

In this way, Zheng He returned to the Yan Army Pioneer Camp with such a "team", and after pacifying these people, he came to Zhu Di's horse to salute,

"Lord, those people behind me are local villagers, if you want to know what happened here, ask them."

Then he drew near to him and whispered,

"Fourth Master, it was Young Master Jing who asked them to wait for you here."

"Oh, that's right,"

I heard that Chai Jingnan had come here, and Zhu Di's eyes were also full of surprise and busy.

"Then let the villagers come over quickly, the Lone King wants to see them."

"Yes."

Zheng He returned to the villagers.

Some of these people have probably seen Zhu Di before, and at this time, they were happily saying "It's really His Royal Highness King Yan", "His Royal Highness King Yan is really here", Zheng He couldn't help but smile heartily and brought them to Zhu Di's horse.

Seeing that His Royal Highness King Yan was in front of him, the villagers knelt down for a large time, seeing this scene, Zhu Di hurriedly jumped off the horse, and helped several elderly villagers up.

"Folks, please get up quickly, can you tell the lonely king, what happened to these villages?"

"Your Highness, don't you know,"

The man who had spoken to Zheng He just now replied,

"This is all a good thing done by those officials in the capital! They said that Your Highness, you are going to lead troops to attack Yingtian, let us tear down all the houses, do what wood and stone to defend the city, and let everyone withdraw to the capital to help defend the city, but we don't want to go, and those who are officials will force us. In a fit of rage, we would rather burn down the house than give it to be used as wood and stone for war, so we ......"

"I see......"

Zhu Di couldn't help sighing, and said secretly in his heart: Yun Wei, Yun Wei, what have you done? In any case, you can't do such a thing to the common people. He shook his head and asked,

"Are the villagers alright?"

"Most of them have gone to relatives and friends,"

The man replied,

"And we, the families, have no close relatives and friends, so we have to spend the day in this burned wall, just looking forward to the arrival of His Royal Highness King Yan and making decisions for us."

After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed again.

Zhu Di since he was a teenager and in the process of Fengyang's training, he was determined to give the people of the world a peaceful and prosperous world, so he couldn't see the people suffering.

"Fellow villagers, rest assured, the Lone King will definitely give you an explanation."

Then he turned around, called Li Yuan, who was following him, and commanded,

"You take a hundred brothers to stay here, tell the Chinese military camp that follows behind, and leave them ten tents and thirty stones of grain, and say that it is the order of the lonely king."

"The last will obey."

Li Yuan received the order and immediately went to do it......

Leaving those burned villages, Zhu Di instinctively sped up, for some reason, after seeing these villagers, his mood calmed down, not only did those confusions lessen a lot, but he even wanted to see his nephew soon. He wanted to ask everything that had happened in the past three years, what did Zhu Yunwen want as the emperor, and what kind of results did he want......

You can already see the head of Jinling City in the distance-

This time it was the gray, tall city walls of the real capital, and in front of it was the Jinchuan Gate......
