The happy coffin is opened, all ghosts disperse, the princess comes from hell

Usually it was Qingnu who made others suffer. She had a premonition that she was going to be unlucky, and even Xiao Chenyan found it strange.

"What kind of bad luck?"

Qing Wu shook her head: "I can't tell, maybe there are always some naughty people who want to harm me."

Xiao Chenyan frowned, and seeing that she didn't care much, he didn't ask any more questions.

Nanling was severely affected, but according to Xiao Yao, the situation near the county town was pretty good.

Locusts have also flown in, but they are all in small waves and can still be killed. Farmers in the fields are now seizing the time to harvest.

The further south you go, the worse the situation becomes. The fields are completely bare, with not a single blade of grass growing.

Xiao Yao had just woken up, and his body had not recovered yet, so he was not suitable for traveling. What's more, he had to organize various disaster relief matters, so he couldn't get away at all.

This time it was Old General Lin who led the way.

Hu Sinong and others didn't even have time to take a breath, and followed Xiao Chenyan and Qing Wu to the affected villages.

The group of people rode for an hour, and the scenery became more and more bleak as they went. Halfway through, Xiao Chenyan and the others met the first batch of refugees. The refugees were all in ragged clothes and looked numb. It seemed that they were all heading towards the county town.

After seeing Xiao Chenyan and his group from a distance, the refugees' eyes lit up and they all ran up to them, kneeling to beg for food.

This kind of scene could not be seen in the capital. When the common people saw the carriages and horses of the dignitaries, they stayed away and did not dare to approach.

But now the locust plague is raging. Not to mention the food in the fields cannot be saved, the food hidden in the house is not safe. The locusts are so fierce that the houses made of wood are chewed to pieces.

How many households in a village can build houses with blue bricks and large tiles? Most of them are thatched mud houses, how can they withstand them?

With the black-armored guards blocking their way, the refugees dispersed numbly as they saw that they had no food to eat and did not dare to make any more mistakes.

Hu Sinong's eyes turned red when he saw this scene.

Xiao Chenyan also looked solemn, "How many refugees are there in the county now?"

Old General Lin sighed, "Nearly a thousand refugees have entered the city in the past few days. No matter how many people there are, the city will no longer be able to accommodate them, and the situation will become increasingly difficult to control."

"The situation in the south is even more serious. The spies we sent out reported that a large number of refugees are coming towards the county. The number of people..."

General Lin shook his head.

"How long can the food in the city last?"

Old General Lin looked bitter, "If the number of people remains unchanged, we can still last for half a month."

A farming official who came with this trip said: "In half a month, the food and grass provided by the court for disaster relief will definitely arrive."

Hu Sinong is not so optimistic: "The premise is that the number of people remains unchanged and the refugees are not without legs."

not to mention……

Nanling is the fiefdom of the Seven Kings. Now that the prince is in charge of the government, it is hard to say how much food and grass will be provided for disaster relief, when will it be delivered, and how much will be lost in the process.

Fortunately, the household department is now under the control of King Guiyan, so even if the prince wants to interfere with it, it will not be as convenient as before.

But I am afraid of being delayed for too long on the road, and the situation here in Nanling is getting increasingly serious.

On the next road, everyone met several more waves of refugees. In the distance, black smoke was rising in front of them.

Xiao Chenyan looked at where the black smoke was burning and frowned.

At this time, another group of refugees came to the official road. This group of refugees were also in ragged clothes, but they were different from the previous waves. This group of refugees were mostly young and strong, not like the previous ones with yellow faces and thin muscles. You can tell by looking at them. I haven't had a full meal in several days.

Among this group of people, there were actually one or two fat men, and their expressions were not that numb.

After they saw the black-clad guards wearing armor and riding horses, their eyes fell on the horses, showing covetous expressions. After seeing the swords worn by the black-armored guards, they hurriedly looked away. After pausing on the spot, they pretended to be helpless. With a serious look, he walked over with lowered eyebrows and eyes, and distanced himself from Xiao Chenyan and the others.

Xiao Chenyan narrowed his eyes and winked at Bai Sui.

Baisui immediately led the black-armored guards over. When the group saw this, they immediately panicked and turned around to run away.

Qing Nu, who had been sitting in the carriage, opened the curtain and said in a cold voice: "Show no mercy, kill everyone who dares to escape."

The black-armored guard rode out and immediately drew his saber.

The group of refugees suddenly panicked. How could their feet run faster than the four hooves? They shouted one by one: "Killing people! The officers and soldiers are killing people indiscriminately!"

Seeing that they couldn't escape, a few refugees took out kitchen knives and hoes and tried to resist, but the black-armored guards immediately took the lead.

A few of them ran very fast, trying to get into the woods, but the woods on both sides were all bald, and they couldn't hide their figures at all.

Sui Su——

The arrow feathers broke through the air and directly penetrated the heads of the fleeing people. They didn't even have a chance to scream and died on the spot.

Xiao Chenyan and Qing Wu suddenly ordered the arrest and killing of the refugees, which shocked Hu Sinong and others.

Old General Lin and other people in the palace didn't react at all, they had already seen the clues.

"Princess, is there something wrong with this group of people?" Hu Sinong had seen Qingwu's abilities on the boat and would not doubt it rashly again, "Are they pretending to be refugees and want to take the opportunity to go to the county to cause trouble? "

"They are real refugees." Qing Wu said indifferently.

Hu Sinong was puzzled. If they were real refugees, why should they be killed?

At this time, the black-armored guards had cleared away the group of refugees, leaving only three survivors alive, who were all captured.

Baisui looked ugly and kicked the three of them to the ground.

At the same time, he took a cloth bag and unfolded it on the ground. He gritted his teeth and said, "This fell out when these guys escaped just now."

After Hu Sinong saw the contents of the cloth bag, his expression changed drastically, he got off his horse and vomited, as did several other agricultural officials.

What was wrapped in the cloth bag was a piece of cooked meat. From the shape, it was not difficult to tell that it was a section of a baby's arm.

These people are eating human flesh! !

"Spare your life, adults, please spare your life, we don't want to, we really can't live anymore..."

The three people were still kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Qing Wu sneered: "Can't you survive? You can't survive. The people in the village in front were kind enough to share the food between you two. You will not only burn, kill, loot, and turn them into food rations in revenge?"

The three people were so horrified that their faces turned pale.

This group of people had indeed just robbed and killed a village, but the village was too poor. There were only old, weak, women and children in the village, and not even one or two adults could be found.

But how did the pretty girl on the carriage know what they were doing?

"brute!!"

Old General Lin was furious. He raised his knife and chopped off three heads.

Hu Sinong and others were already vomiting and their faces were pale.

Xiao Chenyan knew about cannibalism when he came over. He left two people behind and burned all the corpses of the group, while the rest continued to move forward.

When passing the plundered village, the team slowed down. The fire had not yet been extinguished. The entire village was on fire, and innocent villagers could still be seen dead on the roadside.

Hu Sinong could no longer vomit at this moment, and was filled with hatred and anger: "What kind of world is this? God is unkind, people cannibalize each other, and those are human lives!!"

The village was burned like this, how could anyone be left alive!

These villagers, with a single thought of kindness, attracted a pack of evil wolves, and such a thing is by no means a flash in the pan in Nanling today.

Qing Wu suddenly jumped down from the carriage. She stared into the fire, frowning, and walked quickly inside.

"princess?!"

Everyone was shocked.

Xiao Chenyan got off his horse, caught up with her, and held her hand.

"There are still survivors." Qing Wu dropped a word. The next moment, Xiao Chenyan moved faster than her. He picked her up with one arm and rushed into the sea of ​​fire. "Show the way!"

The fire couldn't hurt Qing Wu at all, but the others were frightened.

The flames blocked the road, and others could not rush in. General Lin was extremely anxious. Seeing that everyone in the black armored guard looked calm, he was angry and shocked:

"Why didn't you stop His Highness!"

Baisui: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin. With the princess here, nothing will happen."

Old General Lin felt as if his head was on fire, "That was a fire scene!!"

Baisui: "Yes."

Others: The fire scene is not a volcanic hell. Even if it is a volcanic hell, isn't there still a princess there?

Old General Lin was almost turned upside down in anger. What on earth is going on with His Majesty's subordinates? !

Are you all crazy?

"No matter how powerful your princess is, you can still keep His Highness invulnerable to water and fire!"

Baisui: Ah...why can't it be done?
