The Sacred Ding Chapter 108: Refugee Road
"So many refugees!"
Zhou Jun stopped his horse, stood on the top of the cliff and looked at the refugees crowded in front of Qintong Pass like an ant colony, and said with a numb scalp.
Chen Hai and the others went all the way east and saw a lot of refugees stranded on both sides of the road. You could see the hungry deaths on the side of the road. The banditry on both sides of the road was also very serious. Most of them were refugees. Wei Kou even rushed out of the mountain somehow, trying to rob their convoy.
This time the bandits and bandits were killed in front of Chen Hai and the others. They had no power to fight back. Whether it was a captive or a captive, Chen Hai and the others were finally handed over to the local government, but they didn’t. Thinking that there will be so many refugees in front of Qintong Pass, standing under the high cliff and looking down, you can see the refugees densely like an ant colony, almost occupying the mountains and fields within dozens of miles on the two wings of Qintong Pass.
Chen Hai made a rough estimate in his heart that he was afraid that millions of refugees would stay in the ice and snow to be fed.
Chen Hai was inexplicably brought to this world by the Dragon Emperor Cangyu, and to be honest, he didn't care much about the fate of the people in Yanzhou.
In recent years, the drought in Kansai has been very serious. Not only the refugees in the Wuwei military rule are frequently chaotic and hungry everywhere. Chen Hai and the others traveled east to Yanjing this time and passed through Tianshui County, Tianxia County, and Qintong Mountains. What I saw was also the village withered and the fields barren.
Seeing the hungry corpses on both sides of the road all the way, Chen Hai was also indifferent. At this time, seeing so many refugees gathered, all ragged, yellow and hungry, Chen Hai also had a tingling scalp.
Now that so many refugees are stuck in front of Qintong Pass, they naturally want to escape into Yanjing through Qintong Pass.
At this time, it is not clear what the disaster situation is to the east of Qin Tongguan, but from the diaries spread from various places, it must not be easy. Naturally, the empire cannot open and close the gates, allowing a large number of refugees to crowd into the vicinity of the imperial capital and disturb The people’s livelihood is in order, but the relief work in various places does not seem to go smoothly.
In the canyon built by Qintongguan, the mountains on both sides are more than ten thousand yuan high. It is the only way to enter and exit Yanjing through the Qintong Mountains. It is also the first Xiongguan in the west of Beijing. Chen Hai and the others chose a high cliff to climb up. Seeing that the more than 100-meter-high city wall is embedded between the stone gorges, not only the densely engraved road seals are engraved on the city wall, but the steep walls of the stone gorges on both sides are also shining brightly, faintly endless road seals are circulating.
Qin Tongguan looks so majestic, it also sets off the refugees under the city as small as ants.
No matter how many refugees gather, it is impossible to have the ability to open Qin Tongguan, which is in danger of being infinitely safe. However, the elite guards in Qin Tongguan do not dare to commit the world’s greatness and send troops to drive away. ...
"Look there!" Wu Meng pointed a certain direction and asked Chen Hai and Zhou Jun to look over.
The six channels of Xuanyin, Wu Meng has already completed half of his cultivation, and his cultivation is about to enter the later stage of the piercing state. The six channels of Xuanyin are connected with the eyes, nose, ears, etc., and each channel can greatly improve the six senses. Perceive and cultivate the corresponding six sense supernatural powers.
At this time, Wu Meng's eyesight is stronger than Chen Hai and Zhou Jun.
Chen Hai drove Yuyin, a disciple who can increase the perception of the six senses. Following Wu Meng’s point, he saw a dozen black-robed people walking in the crowd on a hillside at the eastern foot of Chidao. From their perspective, people seem to have noticed their existence a long time ago.
It's the black robe again!
Chen Hai frowned. When they first fought on Yulong Mountain, they saw these black-robed men in the rebellious refugee army; afterwards, they pretended to be the Hexiang army and attacked the city of Chishan. There were three more black-robed men. People suddenly appeared to expose their identities, almost causing them to fall into a desperate situation.
Chen Hai did not expect to see these people in black robes again in the crowd of refugees in front of Qin Tongguan Pass.
The black robes worn by these people are all left gusset and short-breasted. There are some differences from the Kansai costumes. They are more special. They all use hoods to cover their heads and faces. Chen Haineng is sure that the three people in the front and the back should be in the same group. , But Chen Hai can’t figure out what their origin is, why are they always entangled with the refugees?
Furthermore, Chen Hai still remembered that in the battle of Chishan City, before Zhang Huaiyu and Li Xianghai led their troops to help, the three men in black robes led more than a thousand generals from the south of the Hexiang army to escape from the north of Chishan City, and then the camp was blocked. From Chishan City to Hechuanling, the whereabouts of this team was not found. This team should have withdrawn east from Lanchuan County...
After the Battle of Chishan City, Chen Hai also reported the appearance of the black-robed man through his uncle Chen Lie to the General Protector's Mansion. I don't know if the General Protector's Mansion paid attention to it. In short, there is no response yet.
What the **** do these black-robed people want to do, and why are they all present?
"In the mountains where you black-robed people are infested, the nearby refugees seem to be more orderly and organized. It seems that they are planning a lot in front of Qintong Pass!" Wu Meng's eyesight is extraordinary, and he quickly sees Strange.
Chen Hai also noticed that in front of the mountains where dozens of black-robed men appeared, there were many refugees wearing simple animal skin armors, and some refugees holding bamboo spears and bamboo spears on duty under the mountains...
A large group of refugees gather. As long as they don’t wantonly attack the county, Chen Hai and the others have no right to interfere as guest soldiers in transit, but the road to Qintongguan is blocked by the refugees, which is the big problem that Chen Hai urgently solves. .
Chen Haidai is about to return to the camp with Zhou Jun and Wu Meng, and report all that they have detected, to see how his uncle Chen Lie, the entertainer Ge Xuanqiao and another deputy envoy Dong Pan deal with the immediate problems , At this time, a black shadow flew out from the direction of Qin Tongguan City, it was a huge bird with no friends.
The edge of the giant bird's wings is faintly golden. From a distance, you know that it is not a common species, and there is a blue armor leader riding on the giant bird's back, flying towards them.
"Qin Tongguan Capital Wuwei General Zhangqian Su Wuxiaowei Tu Ziji, I have met you, but you are the Wuwei envoy of Qintongguan?" The young general in blue armor leaped down from the giant bird. He bowed his hands to Chen Hai and the others. Perhaps it was Chen Hai's burly and brave appearance. The young general Tu Ziji couldn't help but look at Chen Hai more.
Qin Tongguan is located in the hinterland of the Great Yan Empire. There are only 10,000 elite guards at ordinary times. The general army is awarded the rank of general Wuwei and is a general under the Eighth Army of the Emperor Tiger.
And the blue-clad general in front of him, he is only twenty-five or sixteen years old. He is taller and shorter than the burly Chen Hai, but he is handsome and handsome, with a porcelain-like luster on the edges of his pupils. A faint glow, this is a sign that all the twelve main qi veins have been cultivated and cultivated to the perfect state of Great Zhoutian.
The peak cultivation base of the Spirit Realm should be considered to have a not weak strength in the army, but it seems that he should not be qualified to serve as a middle-level general like Su Wu Xiaoli.
However, what caught Chen Hai's attention even more was the black feathered bird with golden glow on the edge, standing there with its wings folded, even taller than the green cunning horse behind them, while standing in Chen Hai In front of them, the powerful aura leaked between the demon pupils was like a king, and it was actually slightly stronger than the blue-scaled thunder eagle in front of his uncle Chen Lie's seat.
When Yao Xing was in the Yao family, he devoted himself to cultivating without asking the world. Even if part of his memory has not been erased, he is not very familiar with the children of the Tu family, who are also one of the eight Yanjing tribes. Chen Hai thought to himself, if this Tou Pengniao is the seat of the blue-armored general Tu Ziji, and Tu Ziji is young enough to be a middle-level general. Then he is in the Tu clan status of the thirty-six princes, even if he is not the son of the son, in the son of the son It is also a very important person.
"Wuwei entered the play to check Chen Hai before the account, and met Xiao Xiaowei," Chen Hai saluted, and besides introducing Zhou Jun and Wu Meng behind him, he also checked each other's seals according to the rules, and couldn't help being curious. Asked, "How long have so many refugees stuck in front of Qintong Pass?"
"The refugees who came after the fall have gathered more and more." Tu Ziji said.
"It's been so long?" Zhou Jun felt extremely surprised, and his voice was raised a bit.
Qintong Pass is the main route for Yanjing to contact the counties of Yanxi. Qintong Pass is less than a thousand miles away from Yanjing City. The finest green cunning horse and Wulinju can run back and forth twice a day. Such an important pass has been The refugees have been blocked for two or three months!
Although official documents can be passed on by spirit birds, the business travel has been cut off for two or three months, and the loss is so great, and Qin Tongguan guards or the emperor's side even let this happen and did not decisively deal with it. This is true It surprised Chen Hai and Zhou Jun too much.
But think about it, there is not enough time, it is impossible for Qintong to gather so many refugees and displaced persons before the pass.
"..." Tu Ziji didn't want this embarrassing scene to fall in the eyes of the guests of West County, smiled awkwardly, and said, "The refugees are suffering, and no new will has been heard in the palace for several months. How to deal with these refugees is still in dispute, we can only block the pass to prevent more refugees from flooding near the capital..."
Looking at the Dibaos gathered from all over, Chen Hai knows that the counties near the capital have been plagued by droughts and locusts in recent years. If the customs were closed two or three months ago, it means that a large number of refugees may have already entered the capital. The neighborhood should be overwhelmed near the capital, and the ministers, Zuocai decided to block the passage first, but this also meant that the vicinity of Yanjing was nearly paralyzed.
It's just that there is no will in the palace for several months, what the **** is it?
There was no decree in the palace for several months, who did the Hexiang army ask for the imperial decree, and whose imperial decree did they come to Yanjing?
When Chen Hai and the others set out from Hexi County, they never thought that Yanjing would be a mess.
But in any case, how to deal with the chaos in Yanjing, it should be Ge Xuanqiao, uncle Chen Lie and the others who have a headache. Chen Hai can only take Tu Ziji to the camp first.
Chen Hai's temporary camping site was an official post city a hundred miles away from the refugees' gathering area.
Before Wuwei entered the army and drove the soldiers and horses to arrive, the official post city with less than li and Xu Fang was surrounded by tens of thousands of refugees~IndoMTL.com~ Although there were more than 100 postmen guarding the post, At that time, Qin Tongguan had not sent troops to relieve the difficulties, so he could only close the Walled City. It was Chen Hai and the others who rushed to drive away the riotous refugees.
Chen Hai hurried back to the post with Tu Ziji, and saw his uncle Chen Liezheng, accompanied by Ge Xuanqiao and Dong Pan, the first seat of the Zushitang, standing at the head of the city, looking at the refugees in the nearby mountains.
"Popular grievances are so bad!"
Chen Hai climbed to the top of the city, and saw Ge Xuanqiao looking at Qin Tong's direction and said with emotion, while his uncles Chen Lie and Dong Pan frowned, as if the simple words spoken to Ge Xuanqiao were deep. Feeling, but also deeply worried.
Chen Hai looked at the direction of Qin Tongguan City and was obscured by many mountain crests. He couldn't see the refugees in front of Qin Tongguan, but the wind was clear before Shanlian, and he couldn't see any evil spirits.
"Tu Ziji pays homage to Master Ge!"
Tu Ziji stepped forward to salute Ge Xuanqiao.
Ge Xuanqiao fixed his eyes on Tu Ziji and asked hesitantly: "Whose disciple are you in front of you?"
"Teacher Chen Xuanzhen knew that Ge Shishu was going to pass through Qin Tongguan to enter the Imperial Capital. He especially asked Ziji to treat him with respect to his teacher when he met Ge Shishu." Tu Ziji said respectfully.
"Oh, it turns out that you are a disciple in front of the Mad Dao seat," Ge Xuanqiao seemed to think of something, and said with emotion, "I should think that you are a Mad Dao disciple. I want Mad Dao to try my best to be free and happy, but I owe you the favor of the Tu family. In this life, it is estimated that only the children of the Tu family will be taught to teach Taoism!"
Chen Hai was a little surprised in his heart. Even though he didn't know which character Chen Xuanzhen was in Mad Dao, but since he had a close relationship with Ge Xuan Qiao, the true disciple Tu Ziji in front of Chen Xuanzhen's seat was one higher than his generation. It’s really uncomfortable to see people being short. If it’s not for the fear that Ge Xuanqiao’s eyes are too poisonous and worshipping him to practice, it’s really not a wrong choice.
