Chapter 41 There is no other thing to say in this palace
Li Yunxing was furious at the moment, and he couldn't wait to draw his sword directly and enter the city.
Lian Zhan tugged at his arm, shook his head, and motioned for him to be calm.
"Deng Lao! How far is the place you are talking about? Lian Zhan asked Deng Laoweng.
Deng Laoweng pointed to a ruined temple with smoke floating in the distance, and pointed excitedly: "That's it, it's almost there." ”
After Deng Laoweng got the news that Li Yunxing was willing to help, he happily took Lian Zhan and Li Yunxing over there.
Even the foot journey was a little brisk, shouting "Xiaobao" and "Xiaobao" all the way.
Li Yunxing and Lian Zhan's footsteps were not so brisk.
They distributed meat buns all the way, but they didn't expect that before they were halfway through the journey, the forty buns had already been distributed.
The number of victims is by no means a few hundred as written in the recital.
The deeper you go into the forest, the more people will become, either in groups of threes or twos, or only one person will survive.
Deng Laoweng was still wondering, why Xiaobao didn't come out to greet him today.
He smelled a strange smell of meat coming from the courtyard, which he was all too familiar with.
The rest of the people looked at him with a look that was even more strange.
He chuckled in his heart, secretly screamed badly, and rushed straight to the stove of the broken temple.
When I lifted the lid, I saw a child's feet floating on the broth.
He tied a red rope around Xiaobao's feet to bless his grandson to grow up safely.
Unexpected! Unexpected!
He flipped the iron pot to the ground, and the hot human broth spilled on the ground.
"You guys! You've done this to a four-year-old child! ”
"How...... Yes! How can you do it! ”
Old Man Deng was trembling with anger, "He...... He...... He's still so young! I'm only four years old! ”
"My grandson...... So sensible, how can you bear it! ”
Deng Laoweng cried like a tearful man in the end.
"Woooooooooo......oo My good grandson! Deng Laoweng knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
How many people watched Deng Laoweng, but their eyes were watching the pot of broth fall to the ground, so they didn't feel heartache.
There are even hungry people who grab the meat that rolls to their feet and stuff it in their mouths.
They are afraid that they have not touched meat for three months, and they are already crazy with hunger.
"You beasts, you should be thundering every day!" Deng Laoweng scolded angrily, "My little grandson is still so young! ”
"No matter how hungry you are, you can't eat the flesh of a child! Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? ”
Deng Laoweng's words fell, but no one responded at the scene.
Li Yunxing walked in and saw this terrifying scene.
I've only heard of cannibalism before, but I didn't expect that one day I would see it, and it would still be such a tragic situation.
Lian Zhan even stepped forward and kicked the person who picked up the meat scrap over.
"Shut up!"
"Who forbade you to eat people?!"
"Do you know what you've done?!"
Lian Zhan roared, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Deng Laoweng was about to faint from crying at this time, and sat on the ground limply, holding his grandson and crying.
Li Yunxing looked at this scene and felt distressed.
He turned his eyes to the man who had just been kicked over, "Say! Why eat human flesh?! ”
When the man saw Li Yunxing's eyes were cold, he shrank into a ball in fright.
"I ...... I was just...... Hungry ......"
Li Yunxing looked at that person, who was already skinny, his clothes were dirty, and his eyes were sunken.
Li Yunxing was angry and annoyed, angry that these people were so cruel that they didn't even let go of children.
I wonder why I didn't know anything about it, and I didn't get rid of these moths sooner.
"If you dare to commit ...... again"
"I will not spare it!"
Indeed, these people are man-eating devils.
But Li Yunxing did not blame their position, the root of the problem was not their cruelty, but the corruption of the imperial court.
"We can't live anymore, so what do we care about so much?" Someone retorted.
"That is, we can't live anymore, why do we still have to obey the laws of the imperial court?"
"I think the imperial court deliberately wants us to die, not let us enter the city, and don't give us food and grass!"
"It's you eagle dogs of the court who will make us homeless and get to the point of cannibalism!"
Li Yunxing's words did not play a deterrent role.
Instead, it sparked anger among the victims.
After they were abandoned in the wilderness by the imperial court, they were starving and could not stand it.
In order to survive, they began to kill each other.
In the end, hundreds of thousands of victims became the current cannibalistic situation, which also caused today's tragic results.
"Enough!" Li Yunxing shouted.
Let them continue to quarrel, for fear it will lead to even greater calamity.
"I promise you that in less than a day, food will be delivered here."
"Why should we trust you?"
Li Yunxing looked at everyone, saw anger and unwillingness in their eyes, and then ripped off a jade pendant from his waist.
"Just because this palace is the prince of the prison country!"
"This jade pendant is priceless, and there is only one in the world. If the grain and grass are not delivered within a day, you can use this jade pendant all the way into the capital and enter the palace, and personally come to get the head of the palace. ”
"This palace, there is no other word."
After speaking, Li Yunxing handed the jade pendant in his hand to Deng Laoweng
Deng Laoweng took the jade pendant and watched it repeatedly, although he was a village farmer, he also knew that things were good or bad.
I saw a dragon carved on the front of the jade pendant, and the carving was lifelike.
Look at the jade pendant with a warm body color, pure texture, and an extraordinary product.
"Is it really the crown prince?"
"Of course."
Deng Laoweng didn't expect that he was just looking at the two of them dressed nobly, but he didn't expect to meet the prince.
immediately knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to Li Yunxing three times.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose."
The other victims also hurriedly followed suit, "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Li Yunxing waved his hand, "Everyone's courtesy." ”
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie."
Among them, Li Yunxing asked Lian Zhan to stay and help Deng Laoweng bury his grandson.
And he hurried all the way back to the capital.
For some people, it's time to settle down.
……
Outside the East Palace, many people were blocked at the door, and they wanted to break in and have a look.
"My lords, the prince is still resting, please come back later."
Enter the forbidden army to guard the gate firmly.
"You little eunuch, don't fool the crowd with this gossip!"
"The day before yesterday, you said that the prince went to the capital, but he didn't return until sunset."
"Yesterday you said that the prince went to the high temple to pray for blessings, but the prince of the high temple didn't go at all."
"Today, we specially entered the palace before dawn, no matter what you say, we will meet the prince."
The person at the head is none other than Dasi Nong Jingxuezhen.
General Hulang, who was guarding the palace gate, also hurriedly stepped forward, "I haven't seen the prince return since I saw the prince leave the palace three days ago, I'm really worried about the prince's safety!" ”
"General Toro should reflect on it, is it a dereliction of duty to guard himself? When the time comes, let the prince know, don't pick your skin! ”
