At present, Lin Luo still has several tasks that have not been completed.

They are "Thousand Miles Guardian of the Gods" to escort the Dragon Slaying Sword, and "The World's Winds and Clouds Come from Our Generation" to challenge many sects in various countries.

Lin Luo will naturally give the Dragon Slaying Sword, but not now, at least he has to wait until he takes out the Wu Mu's will.

After all, the King's Escort Agency is just to protect its reputation, and the Wudang Sect is just to protect the peace of the martial arts world.

If the Wu Mu's will is put aside for this reason, it would be a real pity.

It seems that he still has to go to the Emei Sect.

Before, Lin Luo was worried that he was not strong enough and was afraid that he could not beat the old nun Miejue, so the plan was temporarily shelved.

But now, he believes that even if he lends Miejue ten or eight more Yitian Swords, the other party will definitely not have a chance!

Coincidentally, after challenging the Emei Sect, he should be able to complete a hidden task, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Since he was going to Ming, Lin Luo prepared to take Jinyu with him.

The little girl was homesick and had been looking forward to going back to reunite with her parents.

But when Xiao Zhao learned about this, she said she would go with him no matter what.

In desperation, Lin Luo had to take the two girls with him.

Before leaving, He Yuanjun leaned against the window and sighed softly: "Young Master is really busy, I don't know when I can take a break."

Cheng Lingsu on the side comforted: "Don't worry, sister Yuanjun, my junior brother is very powerful. Almost no one of his age can match him. Although the world is big, it is difficult to stop him."

"What's more, caring about the world is what a real man does. If you stay at home all day chasing flowers and willows, I will not like it."

He Yuanjun was silent, his eyes followed the gradually receding carriage, and his expression was lost for a while.

...

Soon, Lin Luo arrived in Ming.

He held the iron chariot order in his hand, and the Ming soldiers guarding the pass let them go.

After getting off the carriage and leaving the post station, Lin Luo summoned the Shadow-Stepping Dragon Horse and immediately carried the two little girls onto the horse's back.

Xiao Zhao looked at the tall dragon horse in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned: "Sir, this horse is so majestic!"

Lin Luo smiled slightly and said: "This is the Shadow-Stepping Dragon Horse, a species from heaven and earth, which can fly through the clouds and mist, fly over eaves and walls, and has infinite uses."

Xiao Zhao obviously didn't believe it, and wrinkled his little nose and said: "Sir, you are lying, how can there be a flying horse in the world?"

Lin Luo laughed out loud: "Haha! Why not? You two hold on tight!"

Then, he pulled the reins hard.

In an instant, the Shadow-Stepping Dragon Horse kicked its four hooves suddenly, and its dragon scales shone all over its body. It instantly turned into a black shadow and galloped up along the wall.

Xiao Zhao was frightened by this scene and clutched Lin Luo's clothes tightly. Jin Yu on the other side was also frightened and pale.

Fortunately, Lin Luo didn't want to scare them any more, and soon returned to the ground.

About an incense stick later, the three arrived at Jiading Prefecture.

But the scene in front of them made people frown.

Compared with the last time they came, the appearance here was even more miserable.

The refugees on both sides of the official road were no longer human or ghost.

They were skinny and collapsed on the ground like dead wood.

Their eye sockets were sunken and dark, with only a thin layer of skin supported by their skeletons.

Under the scorching sun, the skin of many refugees had cracked, and their cracked lips seemed to be about to break at any time.

They lay weakly on the side of the road, without even the strength to groan.

Occasionally, some people struggled to stand up, but fell again because of weakness, and never got up again.

The dirt stuck to their faces, and it was hard to tell whether it was tears or sweat.

Several rotten corpses were thrown casually on the roadside, smelling stench, but no one paid attention.

Those dead people seemed to have lost even the last dignity, letting flies fly over them.

The smell of decayed corpses mixed with the bloody smell in the air, making people sick.

Lin Luo rode his horse, his eyes coldly swept over these scenes, but he couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart.

Jiading, which was once prosperous, has now become a hellish desperate situation.

These people who should have lived and worked in peace and contentment have now become hungry beasts.

The look in their eyes is no longer the light of human beings, but the beastliness that has been forced into a desperate situation.

At this moment, several refugees with red eyes from hunger noticed Lin Luo.

Then, their eyes fell on the two fair and tender girls in his arms.

Those eyes were full of greed and desire.

Hunger had made them lose their humanity. At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds, that is, to survive at all costs.

Lin Luo noticed these gazes, snorted coldly, and the Greedy Wolf Spear in his hand struck out like lightning.

The tip of the spear cut through the air, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

NextIn an instant, a deep gully appeared on the official road ahead, with mud splashing and rocks breaking.

The refugees who were ready to move were instantly shocked after seeing this scene.

The fierce eyes just now turned into fear at this moment.

The wolf and the sheep changed so freely at this moment.

Lin Luo put away his gun, glanced around coldly, and drove the shadow dragon horse to continue moving forward.

And those refugees were like their spines were bent, and they dared not get up again.

They could only crawl back to the original place silently and continue to survive.

...

Riding into the city, Lin Luo still went to the inn he went to last time.

After booking a Tianzi guest room, he asked the waiter to prepare lunch.

The waiter saw that Lin Luo looked familiar, and recalled it after a moment.

"Oh! Young Master Lin! I was wondering why the magpie was calling so early in the morning! I didn't expect you to come! Please take a seat!"

"I'll go tell the kitchen staff to work harder and more carefully!"

Lin Luo threw a silver ingot and said, "Waiter, I want to ask you something."

"Young Master Lin, if you have any instructions, I will tell you everything I know!" The waiter bent down quickly.

"Where did all these hungry people come from?" Lin Luo said while looking out the window.

The inside and outside of this city seemed to be two completely different worlds.

On the open blue brick road, all kinds of literati and poets held umbrellas, chanted poems and wrote couplets, and were unrestrained.

Some women holding round fans, dressed in red and green, stood on the upper floor, chatting and laughing.

From time to time, some old men selling fruits and snacks walked by, and the strong sweet fragrance spread along the street.

At this time, the waiter next to him also sighed.

"Alas! This matter should be blamed on the damn Yuan soldiers!"

"Those disaster victims outside the city are all fleeing from the north. The Yuan army marched south, and wherever they passed, families were destroyed!"

Lin Luo heard this and asked, "Then there is no one to help here?"

The waiter's face darkened and he lowered his voice.

"Young Master Lin, this is a long story. Why can't those disaster victims enter the city? Isn't it because of the injustice of the world and the corruption of the officialdom!"

"The masters are greedy. The relief food originally distributed to the people was embezzled by them. Even if some kind-hearted people are willing to give alms, how can there be so much food to feed so many refugees?"

He looked around, afraid of being heard, and continued.

"The land outside the city has long been annexed by the wealthy and powerful. Ordinary people can't even get a bite to eat, let alone these displaced disaster victims."

"Think about it, the food in the city comes from outside. These dignitaries have already raised the price of food to hoard it. Who would be willing to let refugees into the city and add one more mouth to feed for no reason?"

At this time, the waiter sighed again.

"Besides, if the refugees really enter the city, the government will have to arrange for their resettlement. If they have no place to live and no food to eat, it would be strange if no one died."

"But those officials only care about their official hats, how can they care about the lives of these poor people! After all, in this chaotic world, human life is worthless!"
