    ☆、Chapter 75: Close the city gate and never live in peace

    Admiringly said: “Your Highness, why have you been away for so many days?”

    Xie Lian was startled and said: “Have I been gone for a long time?”

    Going back and forth, going up to the sky and down to the earth, carrying lake water, ascending the clouds and turning into rain, day and night, a lot of time has already been spent, but he didn’t realize it.Admiringly said: “It’s been several days! The prayers of believers here in the Prince’s Palace are backlogged.”

    At this time, Xie Lian felt that Yu Si was weak, so he stretched out his hand and said: “Didn’t I tell you to deal with the important matters first?”

    Mu Qing said: “We have naturally dealt with everything we can, but… there are still many prayers that we are not qualified to do for you. That’s why I asked Your Highness not to stress for too long and to come back soon.”

    After he finished speaking, the rain stopped.The rain lasted even shorter than Xie Lian expected, and he couldn’t help but feel solemn.The dark clouds dispersed slightly in mid-air, and a bamboo-green bamboo hat slowly fell down. Xie Lian stretched out his hands to take it, and said: “But look at this situation, I can’t get away from it.”

    Mu Qing frowned: “Your Highness, you borrowed the rain master’s magic weapon? Where did you bring this water from?”

    Thanks for the pity: “The Southern Rain Master Country.”

    Admiringly said: “So far? How much mana does it cost you to move it? Moreover, each rain falls in a small area and does not last long. If it continues like this, how can you cope with the prayers of the believers in the Prince’s Palace?”

    Needless to say, Xie Lian also knew it.He is the God of War, and the believers in the Prince’s Palace are the foundation of his palace and the source of his magic power.This move is tantamount to abandoning the basics and chasing differences. If you are not careful, you may not be able to take care of both ends. But other than that, what else can you do?

    Xie Lian said: “I know. But if this continues, if unrest breaks out in Yong’an, the Prince’s Palace will be affected sooner or later.”

    Admiration said: “It’s about to explode!”

    Xie Lian was surprised: “What?”

    After listening to Mu Qing’s report, he quickly returned to Xianle Imperial City.When I arrived at Shenwu Street, I happened to encounter a group of royal soldiers, fully armed and holding sharp weapons, escorting a group of men in ragged clothes and with shackles on their heads and hands.There were people on both sides of the street, with angry expressions on their faces.Feng Xin held a black bow in his hand and stood ready, as if he was preventing the people on both sides from rioting.Xie Lian shouted: “Feng Xin! Who is this prisoner? What has he committed? Where are he going?”

    Hearing his voice, Feng Xin strode over and said, “Your Highness! These are all Yong’an people.”

    The row of men were all tall and thin, with dark complexions, and there were dozens of them.The soldiers escorting them were followed by a few old men, as well as some frightened women and children.Xie Lian said: “Is it all behind this?”

    Mu Qing said: “It’s all.”

    It turns out that there has been a severe drought in Yong’an in the past few months, and people who originally settled in Yong’an have fled to the east one after another.It wasn’t obvious when there were dozens of people in a group, but over and over again, more than 500 people have come so far.More than 500 people gathered together, and the crowds were so dense that it was quite impressive.

    This group of Yong’an people were unfamiliar with the place and had nothing. They spoke with foreign accents that were obvious when they opened their mouths. When they came to a strange and prosperous city, they naturally wanted to hug each other to keep each other warm. Therefore, they searched everywhere in Xianle Imperial City and finally found an uninhabited green space. They were overjoyed and built a shack here as a resting place.

    Unfortunately, although this green space is indeed uninhabited, it is a white moonlight in the hearts of people in the imperial city.People in Xianle are accustomed to enjoying and appreciating, especially those in the imperial city. Many people go to the green space to walk, dance, practice swordsmanship, recite poems, paint, and have parties when they have nothing to do.And Yong’an, located in the west of Xianle, has barren land and is inherently poor. The temperament and customs of the people are also very different from those in the east of Xianle. Compared with them, the people of the imperial city are often more aware that they are orthodox “Xianle people”.Nowadays, the elegant place in the past is occupied by such a large group of refugees. They cook medicine, mourn, wash clothes, and light fires all day long. The smell of sweat and leftovers is stinking, making many nearby people unbearable and complaining.

    The elder Yong’an people who took the lead understood clearly and wanted to move elsewhere. However, the imperial city had a large population, and wherever it was moved, it was crowded with people. There was no other place to accommodate so many people. What’s more, among the more than 500 people, there were injured, sick, old, weak, women and children. It was not suitable to move frequently, so they had to be careful and shameless to stay here and not leave.Although the people in the imperial city were dissatisfied, they were all citizens of the same country after all. Since they were in trouble, they tolerated it for the time being.

    Hearing this, the line of soldiers escorted dozens of Yong’an men to the entrance of the market and ordered: “Kneel down!”

    Those Yongan men all had unconvinced expressions on their faces, but with the knife on their necks, they had to kneel even if they didn’t.The people of the imperial city who were watching saw them kneeling in various shapes, some sighed, and some relieved themselves.Xie Lian said: “According to what you said, both sides are enduring, so what’s going on today?”

    Feng Xin and Mu Qing had not yet answered, but a woman in the crowd was crying and shouting: “You are a bunch of barbaric thieves! You stole and beat my husband like that, he can’t even get up. If anything happens to him, I will fight you to the death!”

    Several people on the side were busy comforting her, and some criticized her: “I left my hometown and came to someone else’s territory, and I don’t know how to behave myself!”

    “Yes, when you go to other people’s homes, you are not polite at all and steal things!”

    A young man in shackles lost his temper and argued: “I told you a long time ago that we didn’t steal it! We were not the ones who started the attack! And there are also people on our side who were injured…” An old man stopped and said: “Stop talking!”

    The young man shut up angrily.Feng Channel: “There was a man in the Imperial City who lost a dog. Because there was a Yong’an kid who was very hungry and stole someone’s duck and cooked it, so I suspected that this time the Yong’an people would capture and burn it as well. So I went to them to ask, but they disagreed and started a fight.”

    Xie Lian felt it was unreasonable: “Just because of a dog, it made such a big fuss and arrested so many people?”

    Feng Chuang: “Yes, it was just because of a dog that there was such a big fuss. Both sides tolerated it for a long time, and the small matter turned into a big deal. Both sides swore that the other party was the one who made the move first, and it was the other party’s fault. They got into a messy fight, and somehow the fight got bigger and bigger.”

    One of the leading soldiers said: “If you gather a crowd to make trouble, you will be severely punished! Wear shackles to show the public, and you will not do it again!” After saying this, he backed away. The next moment, many people began to throw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at the group of Yong’an men.Several elders bowed to the surroundings and said: “I’m sorry, everyone, I’m sorry.” “Please be merciful, please be merciful.”

    Although Xie Lian felt that it was ridiculous to make a fuss out of a molehill, he could probably understand it and said, “So did they steal it? Has the dog been found?”

    Feng Xin shook his head and said: “Then who knows. After eating and dumping the bones and dregs, who can still find it? But looking at the look, I don’t think they stole it.”

    However, the Imperial City soldiers will of course judge in favor of the Imperial City people. Regardless of whether they stole something or not, if they fight, it will definitely be the Yongan people who are at fault.尤其是皇城男子多愛玩樂,不如永安男子能打,想來這回是被外地人揍得很慘,面子丟大了,梁子也結大了。Xie Lian shook his head, glanced over, and suddenly discovered that among the row of Yong’an men, there was a young man with his head lowered in the middle. He looked very familiar. It was the young man named Lang Ying who was buried in the woods.

    Xie Lian was immediately startled.At this time, someone nearby complained: “Why do I feel that there are more and more Yong’an people in the imperial city in the past few months, and today they dare to beat people.”

    “Aren’t they all going to come over?”

    A man who looked like a businessman waved his hands wildly and said: “Your Majesty will not allow it! My house was stolen by Yongan people a few days ago. What if they all come over?”

    Hearing this, Lang Ying, who had been lowering his head and letting Nanoha hit him on the head and face, suddenly raised his head and said, “Did you see it?”

    The businessman didn’t expect that this man would actually talk to him, so he replied smoothly: “What?”

    Lang Ying said: “Did you see it with your own eyes that people from Yong’an stole things from your house?”

    “…” the businessman said, “I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but it was fine before, and it was suddenly stolen after you guys came here. Doesn’t it have anything to do with you at all?”

    Lang Ying nodded and said: “I see. I understand. Before we came, it was you who stole things. After we came, it was us who stole things…”

    Before he finished speaking, a rotten persimmon flew towards him and hit him in the mouth, as if he had vomited a large flower of blood.The businessman burst out laughing. Lang Ying looked indifferently, closed his mouth, and stopped talking.

    Thanks to the pity, the sharp stones thrown at them were turned away, so that these Yong’an youths would not suffer a bloody blow.This public demonstration lasted until evening, and the people watching gradually dispersed. The soldiers felt that enough was enough, and then they proudly opened their shackles and warned them not to cause trouble again in the future, otherwise they would not be spared.Several elderly people kept bowing and nodding with smiles on their faces, promising not to do it again, but Lang Ying looked calm and walked away.Xie Lian saw him walking alone, saw the right moment, and ducked out from behind the tree, blocking his way.

    As soon as he flashed out, the young man looked at him sharply, and for a moment, he seemed to want to strangle his throat.After seeing the person clearly in the blink of an eye, he put away his hand that had not yet reached out and said: “It’s you.”

    It was the shape of the little Taoist priest that Xie Lian transformed into.He was slightly startled by Lang Ying’s unexplored hand, and thought to himself: “This man is quite skilled.” He said: “I gave you that bead, why don’t you take it back to Yong’an?”

    Lang Ying looked at him and said: “My son is here. I am also here.”

    After a pause, he took out the coral bead from his belt and said, “Do you want to take this back? Here it is.”

    The hand he handed the beads to had bruises from being shackled.After a moment of silence, Xie Lian didn’t answer and said, “Go back. It’s raining in Lang’erwan today.”

    He pointed to the sky and said: “Tomorrow! It will rain again. I promise, it will definitely happen.”

    Lang Ying shook his head and said, “No matter if it rains or not, we can’t go back.”

    Looking at his leaving figure, Xie Lian was stunned for a moment, feeling endless worries.

    Before I ascended, it seemed like I had no worries at all.Whatever he wants to do, he can do it.Unexpectedly, after ascending, he seemed to be suddenly surrounded by endless troubles.There are other people’s worries and there are also your own worries.It is so difficult to do something, and it is beyond our capabilities.Thanks for sighing, he turned and left, returning to the Prince’s Palace to deal with the prayers of believers who had been backlogged for many days.

    However, he was not the most troubled person.The king is the one.

    The worries of the leader of Xianle Kingdom have become a reality. These more than 500 Yongan people are just the beginning.

    Xie Lian held a borrowed rain hat and frequently traveled between the north and the south, making rain by himself.Every time it rains, it takes at least five or six days and a lot of mana. If it weren’t for him, I’m afraid no one else would be able to endure such back and forth.Of course, except Junwu.However, the land that Emperor Shenwu governs is wider than him, and the believers and territories that require energy are far more than the Xianle country. How can he ask Jun and I to be distracted by this?Moreover, it can only nourish a small part of Yongan’s land at a time, and it lasts for a short time. Although it can be alleviated, it cannot be cured.Therefore, a month later, the Yong’an people began to officially migrate to the east in groups.It used to be a group of dozens of people, but now, there are hundreds or thousands of people, gathering in large numbers into the river.

    A month later, His Majesty the Lord of Xianle Kingdom issued an order: In view of the constant disputes and frequent fights in the past few months, in order to maintain the stability of the Imperial City, from now on, all the former Yong’an people who were scattered in the capital of Xianle Kingdom must evacuate the imperial city.Each person is given a certain amount of money to settle down in other towns.

    In front of the mighty Yongan people coming from the east, the gate of Xianle Imperial City was closed.

    The author has something to say: They are two provinces of one country, the capital and a third-tier poor city. Don’t forget about civil strife!If the situation is different, don’t bring it into the third dimension!
