We have all the space treasury in hand, so mere exile is nothing.

After the cheers, some people finally realized that among the corpses there were their relatives and friends.

The voice suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then changed to heavy crying.

The people who followed Chu Qingyun just now were basically young men. Under such circumstances, only they could kill with knives while protecting themselves. Those women, children and the elderly with physical disabilities could only take care of their families around them at this time, and they were already powerless. Fight back.

The most casualties this time were these young men.

Women, children and the elderly held the man's body and cried, wailing in the blood.

Chu Qingyun looked at everything here, feeling a little dazed.

He didn't come back to his senses until Ye Qingran rushed back from the other side.

"Is the situation okay here?" she asked.

Chu Qingyun looked around and felt a little difficult to answer.

In fact, being able to drive away these bandits is a good result for them, but for these common people, the death of their relatives is the worst result.

So he couldn't say the word "good".

Ye Qingran felt uncomfortable listening to their cries, but there were only two of them. If these men were not mobilized, the bandits would have been contented with burning, killing, and looting by now.

The corpses lying here are not just these men, but also countless women, children and the elderly. The situation will only be worse.

"While they are all out, let's gather them together first." Ye Qingran suggested.

Chu Qingyun nodded, and the two of them persuaded the people in the northern border to gather together.

The North Territory is vast and should have a large population. However, after years of natural and man-made disasters, only hundreds of thousands of people are left.

Not a few of them died, and some of them left the North and went to other places. It is unknown whether they reached their settlement alive.

They let the people stay in the open space, and then arranged for them to live together in a slightly safer place.

After settling in their new residence, the two first distributed the food they brought with them. After they were all full, they told them their reasons for coming.

When the people heard that they were sent by the imperial court, their faces immediately fell.

"It's the imperial court again. All the people from your imperial court are dead, but you still dare to come? I advise you to go back. Don't put your name here and drag us down."

I don’t know who said this, and many people echoed it.

Chu Qingyun said seriously: "I know what you are worried about. We are not afraid of death this time. Even if we die here, we will never harm you."

"Why not be implicated? Now we have completely angered the bandits. This time they did not expect that we would fight back, so they were afraid to run away. What will we do when they are prepared and come again next time? Just rely on Can you two kill them all?"

The man who spoke gritted his teeth, "Or are we going to charge again and die in their hands?"

When it comes to life-related matters, other men also nodded and refused to listen to them.

Ye Qingran had already anticipated their attitude and said bluntly: "We have support personnel on the way. We are leading you to charge now, not because we want you to die, but to give you a chance to establish your authority in front of the rogue bandits."

She raised her voice, "Maybe once is not enough to kill them, but what about two, three, or tens of millions of times? If they are only afraid of the court, then you will still suffer when we leave, but if the one who beats them away is You ordinary people, then they know how powerful you are and won’t dare to come again.”

These common people also understand this truth, but they don't know exactly how many bandits there are. Among their own people, there are not many young and powerful men, and they are nothing compared to the bandits.

They do not believe that they can defeat the bandits on their own. If they fail, these men will all die. How long can the remaining women, children and the elderly live?

In fact, Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun had already discussed this matter on the way to the north.

At this time, they were just leading the people to regain their confidence. The real attack on the bandits in the future would still depend on the soldiers and horses brought by the third prince.

Even the real disaster relief food was in the hands of the third prince.

Although the imperial edict said that the third prince and Chu Qingyun were sent, it was also clearly written that he would only assist the third prince and not take the lead.

This was also the fundamental reason why they wanted to get to the north before the third prince arrived.

Although they were not afraid of the Third Prince, it would be really difficult for him to use the imperial edict to pressure others.

Ye Qingran's family is still in the capital. Concubine Xian knows their location, which means the emperor also knows.

Her family is like a hostage at this time, so they will not disobey the imperial edict, but they can still do something according to their own ideas.

The atmosphere among the people was still gloomy. Although they did not refute them, they had little enthusiasm.

Ye Qingran was not in a hurry. Instead, he sat with them while they were eating and blended directly into them.

Ordinary people in this era have little entertainment, let alone refugees like them.

The only time they relax is when they eat and chat with their neighbors.

Ye Qingran grasped this point, so he chose to sit among them and chat with them from time to time.

At first, these people were a little reluctant to chat with her, but what she talked about were questions related to their lives. They couldn't help but answer, as if they wanted to tell all the pain and grievances they had suffered over the years.

When they were talking, Ye Qingran listened carefully and even forgot to eat the food in her hands. It was only when someone next to her reminded her to warm it up by the fire that she realized what she was doing.

Seeing Ye Qingran do this, Chu Qingyun was also very touched. He also sat among the men and talked about various martial arts from life.

It’s not that these men don’t have dreams, it’s just that life doesn’t allow them to have other ideas. They can only find a way to survive in disasters one after another, running around for their families.

If given the chance, which one of them wouldn't want to learn martial arts to protect their family?

If they all had Chu Qingyun's skills and could fight one against a hundred, how could they be oppressed by the bandits to this day?

By the time they were chatting and eating, it was already late by the time they finished their work.

Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun both knew not to act too hastily and did not continue to emphasize to them about uniting to fight against the bandits. They just asked them to come back to get some food if they were hungry. If they had other problems, they could also raise them and we could solve them together.

In this way, the mood of the people finally eased a little, and they were no longer as hostile to them as they were at the beginning.
