I couldn't bear to watch any longer. With a gentle pinch of my feet, Lulu slowly moved forward. I saw something I shouldn't have seen from a distance, and my mouth dropped open in shock. There were a dozen old and weak women and children squatting on the ground, or lying on their bellies, digging at the mud with small sticks in search of something. Some of the hungriers were even more excited as soon as they saw the grass roots. They put their hands in their mouths, but no longer cared about the dirt and grass roots. There were also a few young and strong men who were using long sticks to dig at the soil and roots.

I couldn't believe what I'd said so many times. "How did this happen?" Those people noticed me and started crawling towards me. The man who was digging at the roots with a stick looked at me hesitantly and stopped coming over. They wanted to let the old and weak women and children have something to eat.

An old woman was struggling forward with a stick. After a few steps, she could no longer bear it and fell to the ground, but she crawled towards me like everyone else. It's because the clothes that Xiao Ying and I are wearing can still be considered luxurious, so there must be food or something like that.

When I saw the old woman fall, I jumped off my horse and ran through the hungry crowd. People started begging me to give them food when they saw me reaching out my hand. I ran to the old woman and helped her up. I looked at her with concern and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong? Are you alright? "

The old woman's thin hands were cold in mine, and she begged weakly: "Grandpa, my grandson hasn't had anything to eat in days! I beg of you to give me something to eat, what a pity for this child who's only a few months old! " As the old woman spoke, her tears flowed. At this moment, I could hear the old woman's stomach rumbling with hunger, but instead of begging for food for herself, she was begging for food for her grandson.

I don't know what to say, I feel so bad inside, I don't know why everything in the world has become like this. It shouldn't have been like this!

Xiao Ying took the bag of dried food he brought with him to hunt, and said: "Stand, give it to them! "Sigh!" Xiao Ying shed tears of pity for the hungry. This bag of dry food was a drop in the bucket for many people.

I looked at the men who were struggling with their roots. I walked quickly to them and took a stick. "Let me do it!" After I finished speaking, I sank my Qi into my Dantian and gathered all my strength. Suddenly, I shouted, and gathered all the strength in my hands into my arms. I swung the pole downwards, stirring up a lot of dirt.

When the men saw this, they all rushed to grab the roots. I looked at the fallen tree. The bark had been scraped clean, and when I looked around again, the grass on the ground was hard to find. I won't forget that when Zhu Fu and the other brutal Jiao Prefecture assassins came to power, due to the tyranny of the government and the natural calamities, people could only pick bark or dig roots out of the grass to fill up their hunger. There were also people who ate the dirt to fill up their stomach, and although those who ate the dirt starved for a while, their lives were also in danger.

The scene that he did not expect happened once again! Xiao Ying was also stunned, because she had been wandering the world for a long time, and because of the natural disasters and man-made disasters, she had seen all of this before, but at this moment, the shock she felt was extremely huge! It was because she hadn't seen such a tragic scene in a long time since she came to the Jiao Prefecture, and it had been a long time since she last saw this scene.

I shouted to the heavens, "Why!? Why did it become like this? " The tears in the eyes of the person standing beside me flowed down as he choked with sobs and said, "Because Liu Yan, who replaced the Lord Fan, treated the people quite well in the past two months! But for some reason, two months ago, he had revealed his true form and collected large amounts of food, slashing those who refused to give it. It was so that he would have enough rations to go up and fight with Dong Zhuo! Now the fighting is raging, and we are still recovering from the effects of the drought, and we are faced with tyranny. "Under the drought, the grass and trees withered, and there was no food to be harvested. All the food was taken by the government, so how are we to survive?"

I looked at him, who was filled with grief and anger, and wanted to say something, but I choked and said, "They dug for half a day, but the basket is still empty! "Sigh!" I was speechless, my lifeless eyes looked at Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying did not dare to face me, instead she lowered her head, because she knew that both she and I had responsibilities. If I were still on the throne, at least there wouldn't be any forced foraging, regardless of the lives of the people.

I thought for a moment, then said: "Xiao Ying, I still have some silver with me to go to the town to buy some food for them!" Xiao Ying nodded and agreed. Along the way, Xiao Ying and I both had a heavy heart and didn't say anything.

In front of me was a group of officers and soldiers swarming over three wagons. I was afraid that the soldiers would notice me, so I hid myself at the corner of the hill. One of the prisoners in the wagons caught sight of me. I followed his gaze and saw that the prisoners in the three cars were Zhang Fan, Zhang Cheng, and Shu Zhong.

Shu Zhong shouted loudly, "I hate you! But I do not hate to kill my Liu Yan! He should have done it for her! I hate myself! He hated me for being blind! He had thought that Fan Li was an indomitable hero! It could kill the people in a moment of suffering! Who would have thought that he was actually a selfish person! He did not care about the lives of his subordinates, he gave up lightly! The people and their men were in danger! Fan Li, I also hate you for being merciful and indecisive. If you had listened to someone else's words earlier and killed Liu Yan, or listened to me, you would have been cautious of Yu She. Listen to Yu Bai's last words and get rid of all the disasters around you. He could not be merciful in the face of power! As long as you have the right, then you have to do everything for power! You're too stupid, too stupid! You greedy family, wife and concubine bastard! If you die, then you deserve to die! If you really do awaken, then you will not have to choose any method to take back the power that belongs to you, no matter the cost! Kill Liu Yan! "

As soon as Shu Zhong said "kill Liu Yan", a Yan Bing hit him hard with his spear. His teeth cracked and blood came out of his mouth. Shu Zhong shouted loudly, "Fan Li! From now on, you have to remember that you can't do as you wish as long as you are a monarch! You are destined to be a matter of national importance! Family, friends, everything must be cleared for the country! He had to sacrifice himself when necessary! Furthermore, you must clearly realize that if you continue to sit as the monarch, your family and your life will be assured. However, once you leave, your life will be in danger! "

"Damn it!" "Shut your mouth!" Yan Bing, who had hit Shu Zhong just now, hit him again with his spear. Shu Zhong's eyes were shining like stars, he did not make a sound, and only looked in my direction. I wanted to go out and save them, but Xiao Ying shook her head at me while holding back her tears. I looked at Shu Zhong, and thought back to what he had said just now: I am a sovereign, so I have to prioritize national affairs and do whatever I want. Now is not the time for me to do whatever I want, so I resisted the urge to save him.

Shu Zhong laughed at last. His eyes were filled with praise, praise at how I didn't do such a foolish thing for my subordinates like before! Now is not the time for me to do stupid things! I still have a lot of things to do, but his eyes revealed the meaning of letting me go, definitely cannot be discovered by Liu Yan's soldiers!

Shu Zhong, Zhang Fan and the others can be punished, but I can't go out and save them! Sigh! I can only remember Shu Zhong's words, as the ruler, everything must be done on official business, I will take back what was originally mine!

Yu She galloped his horse and arrived in front of Shu Zhong, glaring at him. "You're about to die, what are you screaming about! I'm going to take revenge for my father! " Shu Zhong spat the blood he held in his mouth onto Yu She's face, and said: "Such a virgin like you who betrayed his own master, who betrayed his master who grew up together with him, what qualifications do you have to talk about me! I am truly pitiful for Yu Bai! He actually gave birth to an unfilial son like you! "

Yu She was furious, he raised his horse whip and whipped Shu Zhong: "You caused the death of my father, I will take revenge for my father, what's wrong with that! Humph! When your head falls, I can use it to pay my respects to my father! "Haha!"

"Haha!" You! You! "Haha!" Shu Zhong only laughed out loud towards the sky, while Yu She shouted hysterically, "What are you laughing for! "What are you laughing at?" "Haha!" Shu Zhong still ignored Yu She and continued to laugh. Yu She laughed coldly and said: "I understand! You must be so scared of death that you can only laugh! "

Humph!" Shu Zhong sneered and said, "Why should I fear death? "Haha!" He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Then what are you laughing at?" Shuzhong glanced at him and said: "Did you know that your father gave me a letter? "Do you dare to read that letter?" "My father left a letter?" Humph! What a joke! How could my father leave a letter for his enemies! "I don't believe it!

Shu Zhong turned his head to the side and said, "What a pity! Yu Bai, I can't complete the task you asked me to! Sigh! I'm sorry! But I firmly believe that in the future, my lord will certainly regain the power to seize the throne! It will be reborn like a phoenix! "Haha!" Yu She felt puzzled facing Shu Zhong's madness, and he also remembered in his heart that his father had left a letter for Shu Zhong, although he did not believe it.

Yu She laughed coldly, and said: "Just now, who was that person you saw from behind the hill? Hehe, I actually think that person is very familiar! "They must be acquaintances!" What! "You!" Shu Zhong stared at Yu She and laughed sinisterly: "I am sure who that person is! Haha! He must die! I've already sent someone to follow you! I will keep track of his whereabouts! "Haha!" Shu Zhong was extremely anxious when he heard it, and said: "Yu She, you can't do that! You must get your father's letter from my wife. If you get that letter, you will understand! "

Yu She looked at the hillside, and secretly said: "Fan Li! Fan Li, you hid behind the mountain and peeked at me. Do you think I wouldn't know? And you wouldn't have guessed that I would have sent someone to follow you, would you? Just you wait! Your time of death is almost up! "
