Chapter 219: Voluntary Arrest

In the noisy fighting between the two sides, the atmosphere between Shu Yungui and Pete, the attendant of the royal family, dropped to a freezing point.

"Shu, Shu Yun returns to ......"

Cornelis carefully tugged at the corner of Rashu Yungui's clothes and whispered, "He's really my cousin's chamberlain."

"I know."

Shu Yun didn't look back, and said, "But it is also possible that the coexistence faction has planted eyeliner next to your cousin, at this time, no one who has been verified can be trusted."

Cornelies looked at Pate with big round eyes, she knew that Shu Yungui's reminder was correct, but Pate was also the one who watched her grow up, and for a while she really didn't know whether to trust Pate or not.

"I don't understand what you mean, and I don't want to."

Pate stretched out his hand and raised his voice, "Give Her Highness Corneerys back to me!"

"What if I say no?"

The two sides were separated by the city gate, and the smoke in each other's eyes was splashing, and Corneerys didn't know which side to persuade, so she could only stand behind Shu Yungui and wring her fingers, looking at the two facing each other with an anxious face.

"If not, I will apply for an army to go out of the city on the pretext of kidnapping and holding the members of the royal family hostage, and exterminate you and the homeless untouchables around you."

Pate's tone was very cold, but the words he said made people angry, and even Cornelies couldn't listen to it anymore, and shouted to stop him.

"Pate! That's enough! Say no more!"

She begged, "Can you help me go and ask my cousin if he can accept refugees from outside the city into the city for a while?"

Pate did not move, and reminded, "Your Majesty has long since lost the authority to manage the affairs of the inner city, and you should understand this."

"I know, if you go and report it to your cousin, this will naturally reach the ears of those who can take care of things, and they will give an answer."

Pate didn't say anything more, he glanced at Cornelys lightly, frowned at Shu Yungui again, and finally took a few steps back and turned to leave.

Under the persuasion of Shu Yungui, the refugees in the outer city finally regained temporary calm, and the city defenders were still on guard with guns, but there was a lesson from the captain's broken fingers, and no one dared to shoot rashly, and the atmosphere between the two sides was so tense that it was audible to drop a needle.

Pate was gone for hours, and the refugees spent a night of extreme cold and fear outside the city, until the morning light replaced the night, and the Cree worms over the city finally fell, and in the anxious waiting, Pate finally went and returned, with an extra man with a gun.

As soon as they saw him come back, the refugees from the outer city, who were sitting or lying down, stood up together, and they spontaneously recommended Shu Yun as a representative to negotiate with the representatives of the inner city.

"The King and the Council Ministers have been informed of the fall of the Outer City and express their condolences to the people affected by the Outer City."

The man with the gun stretched out his hand from the gap in the city gate, shook Shu Yungui lightly, and said, "I am the Minister of Defense of the Inner City, Gran, entrusted by the Council, to convey to you the opinions of the royal family of the Inner City on the handling of the people of the Outer City for help."

It was extremely quiet all around, and everyone was waiting for this result, including all the soldiers in the defending team.

Defense Minister Gran coughed lightly and said, "The council has agreed to accept refugees from the outer city, and will open up a special place for the refugees to live, and all the food, clothing, and resource expenses of the refugees in the inner city need to be paid for by their labor."

It seemed to be the best outcome, and the refugees who had fought all night finally had a smile on their faces, clapping their hands and cheering, and even tears of emotion.

This is the first time in the 20 years since the establishment of the inner and outer cities that the inner city has accepted the people of the outer city, and the soldiers of the city defense team were stunned when they heard the news, and some people scolded and threw weapons, bluntly saying that their work was meaningless.

"Twenty years of guarding the city, but letting a group of untouchables easily enter, I don't know what the Council is thinking!"

The city wall was full of anger, and the city wall was jubilant, and the emotions were very different from each other at a distance of just a few tens of meters.

"Before the registration of refugees can be recorded, the Council has another notice that needs to be communicated to you."

"Me?"

The corner of Shu Yungui's eyes jumped: "Why do you want to tell me?"

"Aren't you a representative of refugees from out of town?"

With his hands behind his back, Gran said, "Since you instigated refugees from the outer city to attack the inner city, resulting in the injury of the captain of the garrison team and the destruction of the city gate, the council's opinion is that if you want the inner city to receive refugees, it is okay, but you must be separated from each other."

"Separated?" Shu Yungui chuckled: "The words don't make sense, you might as well be more direct, just say that Neicheng wants to arrest me and send me to prison, right?"

Gran didn't speak, but Cornelies jumped to her feet, and she rushed to Shu Yungui, protecting him behind her with open hands.

"No! Why arrest him?! If it weren't for him, these refugees would have died last night! Maybe even the inner city has been trampled by the orcs!"

Gran saluted her, and said in a calm tone, "Your Highness, you underestimate the combat power of the inner city too much, even if the outer city falls, the orcs will definitely not be able to enter the inner city."

"You said you can't get in, you can't get in? Is it because you get the motivation......

Shu Yungui covered her mouth from behind, Cornelies called "whining", but Shu Yungui's hand didn't let go at all.

"Listen to you, if I resist arrest, the inner city won't accept these refugees, will it?"

Gran nodded slightly, and the faces of the people in the outer city who were gathered around Shu Yungui immediately changed.

The news swept through the crowd like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and the people who had just followed Shu Yungui to storm the inner city gate not long ago immediately divided into three camps, while being filled with righteous indignation, loudly and bluntly saying that they would rather die outside the city than exchange the lives of their benefactors for a chance to live.

The other wave is opposed, believing that Shu Yungui is not from the outer city, not to mention that the initiator of last night's conflict is Shu Yungui, and the inner city has also suffered losses because of this conflict, so it is natural to hand him over to atone for the crime.

The remaining small number of people did not dare to speak, neither agreeing to die outside the city, nor daring to hand over Shu Yungui lightly, they remained silent under the quarrel of the other two waves of people, as if waiting for who would win in the end, and the grass on the wall would fall down.

Shu Yungui didn't care about their argument, those words didn't reach his ears, he looked at Gran, and asked, "Is the council trying to kill me?"

"Of course not."

Gran immediately explained, "We know that you are a very capable genius, and with our ability to pose a threat to you, the Council just wants to keep you away from the civilians of the outer city for a while, because your abilities deserve to be better, aren't they?"

It turns out that those coexistence factions want to win people over.

Shu Yungui sneered in his heart, but said lightly on his face, "Yes, I agree with your conditions."

As soon as the words fell, Cornelius in his arms suddenly broke free of his hand, his face was flushed with anxiety, and he gasped, "No! You can't go with them! I won't!"

Shu Yungui gently touched her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I have been to places like prisons a lot, and it is as easy as going back to my hometown."

What he said was true, the Inquisition Prison and the Monastery Observation Room, which one of them did not go and never returned, he did not come out alive, not to mention that now he is a third-order mutant, let alone escape from prison, maybe Cheng Sikong and them will come over soon, and he will be able to go home.

But Corneerys didn't know so much, as soon as she was in a hurry, tears fell down, Shu Yungui didn't know how to deal with the girl's tears, so she could only persuade in a low voice.

"I'm just going to deal with the Coexistence faction, and in the meantime, you're going to have to find a way to meet your cousin again and tell him everything we saw in the wilderness."

With the task in hand, Corneerys finally collected her tears, the inner city gate finally opened, and a team of soldiers with guns stepped forward to arrest Shu Yungui.

"Wait!"

Shu Yungui glanced at them, and at this glance, no one dared to take half a step more.

He took out the Air Beam Gun from his tactical belt and handed it to Cornelies, saying, "This is a gun given to me by a very important elder, and now I entrust it to you, and when the ninth star returns to peace, you will return it to me."

Cornelies put the gun

Clenched in the palm of his hand, tears began to roll in his eyes again.

Only then did the group of soldiers dare to step forward, nor did they dare to impose any restraint measures on Shu Yungui, so they could only huddle him in the middle of the team and look at him from a distance, as if they were inviting Shu Yungui to the city as a guest.

Shu Yungui exchanged his freedom for refugees from outside the city to enter the inner city, and the household registration department set up a table at the gate of the city and began to register the personal information of the refugees one by one.

The men were not allowed to move around as they pleased, and they were escorted in droves to a very desolate and remote place, where there were no buildings, only low shacks enclosed by planks and sheets, and a wall outside, which looked like a city within a city.

There were more than 50,000 people who came in from the outer city, and all of them were crowded into this city-within-a-city, so dense that they couldn't stretch their legs when they slept.

They thought it would be the worst, but to everyone's surprise, as soon as they entered the city-within-a-city, a group of soldiers armed with guns came outside, guarding the entrances and exits of all the refugee settlements.

Defense Secretary Glenn covered his mouth and nose with white gloves and stood outside the wall and said loudly.

"From now on, your daily life can only be carried out in this area, and every day someone will take you to work in the order of registration, and you are not allowed to run around and talk while working, and someone will bring you back when it is over."

"All your supplies, including food and water, need to be earned by your own labor, and if you work more, you will get more, and if you work less, you will have no food."

Someone raised his hand tremblingly and asked, "Great, great...... The old and the young. What about children?"

Gran glanced at the disgraced refugees and said quietly, "There are only refugees here, no old people and children."

The implication was that there would be no extra food for the elderly and children who could not work, and the refugees were immediately furious, and someone rushed up to question him, but was shot down by the soldiers at the door.

"Now that you're in the inner city, don't bring in the rudeness of the outer city."

Gran stared indifferently at the corpse on the ground and said, "See, this is the end of unruliness."
