Chapter 917: Peach Demon VS Prince (19)

After comforting Qin Jingfeng, Tao Yanqi left the forbidden land with him.

As for the corpse of the national teacher, naturally someone will solve it.

Since Qin Jingfeng knew about the existence of the Chosen One, he had become more and more sticky.

In the past, Qin Jingfeng would also set aside time for Tao Yanqi to change clothes and take a bath, but now, no matter what Tao Yanqi does, he will stay by her side.

Tao Yan knew that Qin Jingfeng was too insecure.

She didn't know how to fill his insecurity, so she could only stay by Qin Jingfeng's side all the time.

As the days passed, Li Zhiyan really did not appear in front of Qin Jingfeng.

But according to Qin Jingfeng's intelligence, Li Zhiyan is currently active in martial arts and has become the leader of the martial arts alliance.

Moreover, he also united with major mountain villas, made good connections, and won the favor of the people in the southwest.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it hasn't rained in the Celestial Empire for half a month, which is very abnormal.

The drought seemed to happen overnight, and by the time Qin Jingfeng received a note about the drought, the drought in the south was already very serious.

Qin Jingfeng sent people out to investigate, and also specially sent troops to transport grain to the disaster area.

But as the drought became more severe, and Li Zhiyan's side had already begun to collect private food, resulting in food shortages, and there were more and more refugees.

The influx of refugees outside the capital forced Qin Jingfeng to order that the refugees were forbidden to enter.

Although Qin Jingfeng has governed the country in a good way in recent years, and the treasury has been relatively full, it is really unable to withstand this natural disaster, and the treasury has gradually become a little insufficient, which makes Qin Jingfeng have to shrink the treasury.

The refugees were very dissatisfied with Qin Jingfeng's approach, and at this time, Li Zhiyan took advantage of the situation and directly opened a relief shed outside the capital.

Two meals a day are served, although they are all gruel, but for the refugees who have nothing to eat, Li Zhiyan seems to have become the existence of a great benevolent person.

For a while, Li Zhiyan's status in the hearts of the common people was actually higher than that of Qin Jingfeng.

The people's wishes are really simple, just eat and drink enough.

But in these times of drought, how simple is it?

Li Zhiyan was determined to be the emperor, and he also borrowed the game system to exchange for a lot of good things, and later, he openly recruited troops.

Li Zhiyan said that this relief is half a year.

Half a year is enough to empty the treasury, and it is enough to make Li Zhiyan the "emperor" among the people.

Tao Yanqi knew that this was the way Li Zhiyan had to go.

Li Zhiyan didn't do anything treacherous, and she couldn't kill him.

And this drought was originally a way paved by Heaven for his own son.

How ironic, Tiandao would choose to sacrifice so many ordinary people for the sake of his own son.

The drought is getting worse and worse, and even a sip of water has become a luxury.

Qin Jingfeng is an emperor in the end, and he can't bear to let the people die one by one after all.

He knew it was time for him to step aside.

When Tao Yanqi knew about Qin Fengfeng's decision, she only asked him one question.

"Are you really willing to give up the throne?"

Qin Jingfeng just looked at Tao Yan and smiled, his smile was full of tenderness, but when he looked closely, it seemed to be mixed with a trace of bitterness.

"The throne is not important to me."

"It's you who matters."

I don't want the people to suffer, and I don't want you to suffer.
