Chapter 196.2

When millions of people arrived together at the border of Great Luo, the local soldiers stopped them.

This road is closed, go back!

Everyone was stunned, Why cant we go?

The soldiers said impatiently, You dont need to know, its an imperial edict! From today onwards, no one may leave Great Luo without the Emperors decree!

The people became agitated.

Why? Why cant we leave?

We want to go now!

We want to leave Great Luo and head to Great Xia!

Open the city gates for us now!

Tens of thousands of soldiers raised their spears and bows while threatening, Are you disobeying the imperial edict?

Faced with the cold weapons, the common people backed down.

Although they were numerous, they were unarmed and stood no chance against an actual army.

Therefore, they could only vent their anger on the Great Luo Emperor.

Foolish emperor!

The most foolish emperor!

Inside the Great Luo Imperial Palace, Song Yufei and the Great Luo Emperor were sitting face to face while drinking tea.

Song Yufei expressed her concern, Your Majesty, is this really okay? Arent you afraid of losing the common peoples hearts by doing this?

Fairy Yufei, dont worry so much!

The Great Luo Emperor said with a laugh. Troublemakers, they are troublemakers, why have the common people been called troublemakers since ancient times? Its because they are a bunch of scumbags that act wilfully and recklessly for their own selfish desires without considering the bigger picture! For such troublemakers, only by suppressing them with force will they be subdued!

Fairy Yufei, just wait and see! They will obediently come back to work when they find themselves with no way out, and the nation will be stable then!

I hope so, sighed Song Yufei, feeling a bad premonition rising in her heart

At this moment, Elder Qian Yuan of the Beggar Sect secretly gathered a group of beggars.

Fellow brothers of the Beggar Sect, its time to implement the zero-cost purchase plan!

Your Majesty, most of those people are workers from various construction sites! After they returned from the border checkpoints, they stopped working and started looting. The situation is really serious!

This is outrageous, they have lost their minds!

Great Luo Emperor slammed the table and stood up, I will send the army to suppress them right now!

Thus, the Great Luo army was dispatched, and the two sides fought fiercely.

However, how could the unarmed refugees stand a chance against the army?

As a result, the uprisings were quickly suppressed everywhere.

However, the Great Luo army was limited in number. As soon as they quelled the unrest in one city, another city would erupt in chaos.

The disturbances were breaking out everywhere and were impossible to contain.

Great Luo Emperor was furious, There must be someone stirring up trouble behind the scenes, how else could this happen? Ministers, do you have any good strategies to root out the person behind this and resolve the unrest?

Your Majesty, the best solution now is to let them leave! said the Prime Minister with a wry smile.

There are too many of them, and they are really unruly. It will be a hidden danger for us if we keep them in Great Luo! So, we should let them go. Once they are all gone, even if someone behind the scenes tries to cause trouble, it will be useless!

Great Luo Emperors face was somber. He knew this was the best solution.

To remove the source of the problem once and for all.

But still, he couldnt help feeling reluctant!

After all, he had invested so much and yet gained nothing!

However, reason finally triumphed over emotion, and he sighed while waving his hand, Minister, you are right. Let them leave!

As you command, Your Majesty! the officials responded in unison.

Thus, the border gates were opened.

The rebellious common people rushed excitedly towards Great Xia as if they were running towards a happier life.

At this moment, Song Yufei walked through the desolate city while looking at the ravaged streets and the tightly closed doors, and for the first time, doubt crept into her heart.

Is the choice of the Taoist Sect correct?
