Chapter 16 Commitment with One Force
Because there were a lot of Xiahou country refugees in the team, and they had to take care of them not being able to ride horses and traveling on their legs and feet, Ye Chen's convoy became slower.
Along the way, I met the Xiahou country refugees who were hiding in Tibet and poured into the country, and saw that these Xuanjia cavalry were followed by so many homeless people who supported each other, so they secretly stepped forward to ask some people who followed, and learned that there was an immortal sitting in the carriage in front of them, and they wanted to take them to Fenglin County to find a place to settle, and then more and more homeless people quietly squeezed into the crowd, and the number of people in the convoy soon reached about 1,000 people.
Because of this, there have been several urgent grievances and folds that have gone to Emperor Jiang's table in Emperor Jiang City.
Of course, Ye Chen didn't know and didn't care.
With Xiao Ruorong here, he is not afraid that the sect will be held accountable for this mundane matter in the future.
However, even though Ye Chen's heart was kind, he still did bad things, and many people fell on the road and never woke up again.
There are those who have been hungry for too long and have eaten to death, those who are weak and overworked from walking, and those who have relapsed from old diseases, but the most are still sick and dead.
Many of the refugees contracted the cold.
Ye Chen asked Shen Lian to send the soldiers to find a veil and a few iron pots, take out the water and boil it in an iron pot, take out all the Qi Benefiting Pills on his body, wash the pills with boiling water, and use a bamboo tube to fill one per person, so that they can recuperate on the road, and the situation gradually improved a lot, and asked Shen Lian to lead the soldiers, wearing veils, to bury the bones of the homeless people and the fallen people on the road along the way on the spot to prevent the plague phenomenon in the territory.
In this way, it was already late, and the convoy was still some distance away from the town of Fenglin County, so it could only carry torches and slowly march all night.
Inside the wide and comfortable carriage, an oil lamp was lit, and the carriage swayed all the way, and the faint light of the oil lamp flickered, making people drowsy.
Ye Chen lowered his head and looked at Xiao Ruorong, who was hunched over and sleeping on his thighs.
At this time, Xu Ruorong no longer had the gray face in front of her, washed her face in the post station, and changed into clean clothes, which showed that her complexion was pink, her eyelashes were long, and she muttered in her dreams when she fell asleep: "Mother, father ......"
Immediately afterwards, he moved his head and moved to a more comfortable sleeping position.
Ye Chen stroked her hair distressedly.
"Immortal envoy, Fenglin County is almost here, Liu County Shou has sent someone to answer, and has led all the civil and military forces of Fenglin County to wait at the gate of the south city to greet the immortal envoy." Shen Lian's voice came from the wheel outside.
Ye Chen raised his eyelids, looked out through the window of the carriage with curtains, and swept past the Xuanjia cavalry holding torches outside, and could see the high and deep city tower lit with torches.
And an old man with a somewhat plump body and dressed somewhat similar to the clothes on Jiang Ning of Yingxian Ling was leading a group of civil and military generals, and a soldier holding a torch waiting at the gate of Dakaidi City.
Thinking of asking Shen Lian about the personal deeds of this Liu Junshou earlier, I can only draw one conclusion: my ability is mediocre, my political performance is average, and I don't want to make progress......
It was this person who took the means of driving away the refugees who had been left behind, and insisted on the countermeasure of not asking, so that there were such displaced people scattered in Fenglin County, looking for a way out, but feeding the wild beasts.
Mediocre!
Ye Chen's eyes were cold unconsciously.
Xu Ruorong was woken up by Shen Lian's voice, sat up in a daze, yawned, rubbed his eyes with his small fists, looked at Ye Chen and said, "Brother Ye Chen, are we here?" ”
She changed her name not to be called an immortal brother, naturally Ye Chen taught her, otherwise Ye Chen would not be able to resist this name of an immortal.
Ye Chen laughed softly: "Wait a minute, it's almost there." ”
Xu Ruorong nodded obediently and sat down in the seat.
After a while, the carriage finally stopped.
A voice sounded outside at the right time: "Xiaguan Fenglin County Guard, Liu Chuanye, bring a group of civil and military personnel from Fenglin County to welcome the Sect Immortal Envoy." ”
"Ruorong, you wait for me in the carriage, I'll be back soon." Ye Chen especially likes to touch Xu Ruorong's little head, touched it, and explained softly before getting up.
The moment he opened the curtain and walked out, the smile on Ye Chen's face had disappeared, and he looked at the carriage expressionlessly and waved at him, giving him enough to the local supreme magistrate of the so-called Shangzong Immortal Envoy, and a group of local civil and military personnel.
Ye Chen arched his hand, and said without being angry: "There is Laoliu County Guard and all the lords waiting here. ”
"Don't dare."
Liu Chuanye found that the immortal envoy's gaze was not good, he looked at the homeless people behind the carriage, his mind was also dripping, and he said quietly: "The immortal envoy came from afar, and there was a lot of fatigue on the road. ”
"The turbidity in the mortal world will be freed, Lord Liu, someone has been sent to inform Lord Liu before, who is responsible for arranging disaster relief accommodation for these displaced people, can you be prepared?"
"Immortal envoy, please rest assured, there is an abandoned military village outside the city, and the lower officials have already let people clean it up, accommodating tens of thousands of people."
Liu Chuanye asked cautiously: "Dare to ask the immortal envoy, do you want to settle the displaced people now?" ”
"Yes." Ye Chen nodded slightly.
Liu Chuanye, who got the reply, immediately looked back at the county Cheng behind him, and nodded at the latter, who immediately led half of the armor soldiers behind him, and some Lang Zhong mixed in, walked towards the homeless people, and arranged for the follow-up.
"Does the immortal envoy need to stay in the city?" Liu Chuanye asked cautiously again.
Ye Chen didn't follow his words, but suddenly said: "I heard that recently, Lord Liu ordered people to guard the four city gates, forbidding the displaced people from entering the city, and driving them away, and also ordered all the cities under his rule to drive the displaced people and rush to other places. ”
"This ......"
Liu Chuanye smiled slightly bitterly, and said helplessly: "The immortal envoy doesn't know, and the colleagues in the north of the lower official do the same, if it weren't for this, this county is not a border with Xiahou State, and there will not be so many displaced people to break in, if these displaced people from Xiahou Country are allowed to flood into the city, it will seriously disrupt the order of this city." The lower officials had already sent excerpts to the court for instructions, but without His Majesty's approval, they did not dare to accept displaced people from other countries without authorization. ”
"Lord Naliu knows that the Anseong County Guard is now vigorously giving porridge for disaster relief and appeasing the homeless people to enter the country."
Anseong County is the bordering county of Fenglin County, and it was when he learned what this Anseong County Warden did, when Ye Chen was still on the road in Anseong County, when he met the homeless people, he asked Shen Lian to send them a little ration and let them go to the city under Anseong County to make a living.
After passing the Maple Grove Valley, it was too far away from the lower city of Anseong County, so Ye Chen decided to bring the displaced people to the Maple Grove County Town.
And in order to curry favor with the Qingguang Sect, the nobles of the Jiang Kingdom ordered the officials of the whole territory, wherever the immortal envoys went, to cooperate with the immortal envoys throughout the whole process, and Ye Chen was not afraid that someone would not cooperate.
"Lord Jiang of Ancheng County is the surname of the country, and he uses the grain of the official warehouse, even if the lower officials have the heart, they don't dare to learn from Lord Jiang, otherwise they will be questioned by His Majesty." Liu Chuanye hurriedly explained.
Ye Chen was noncommittal.
In fact, when he was on the road, Ye Chen already had a plan, and said lightly: "Lord Liu can open an official warehouse to give porridge to appease the homeless, if there is a problem, you can push it to the immortal envoy, and the immortal envoy will give the elders of the sect to take responsibility." ”
Liu Chuanye listened to this, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with admiration: "The immortal envoy is so kind-hearted, and the lower officials will definitely live up to the high expectations of the immortal envoy." ”
"General Shen, stay in the city."
Ye Chen explained Shen Lian, who was familiar with the road, and walked into the carriage.
The carriage moved slowly.
When the carriage was far away, Liu Chuanye raised his head, the sincerity and fear on his face had disappeared, and he looked at the back of the carriage guarded by the hundred horsemen with a smile.
