Li Zhiyun was shocked when he heard what the guard said, and hurriedly asked: "Where is it?" The guard pointed with his hand and said: "Over there!" Li Zhiyun followed the guard and ran forward, and sure enough he saw one or two hundred people gathered in front of him, crowded into a mess.

one

Group. He struggled to get through the crowd and saw Zhu Feng'er standing there in the middle of the crowd like a fighting prisoner. Aunt Ying stood timidly beside her. Several men were pointing at Zhu Feng'er's nose and yelling curses.

An old woman in her fifties was helped over. She said in a trembling voice: "My daughter-in-law and three grandchildren were all eaten by Zhu Can's soldiers. My son couldn't afford to fall ill, and later he died."

He’s dead. Now I’m the only old woman left. What sin have I done?!..."

The people around were angered, and they shouted angrily: "Beat her to death! Let her pay with her life!..." The men rushed forward and beat Zhu Feng'er all over her face. Zhu Feng'er did not dodge, but stood stubbornly.

There, he just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand. Li Zhiyun rushed over and pushed away a man who was punching. Zhang Zheng also squeezed in and pushed away several other men who were punching others.

Zhu Feng'er knelt down in front of the old lady with a bang and cried: "Auntie, I'm sorry for you! It's all my father's fault, and I apologize to you for him!..."

At this time, more and more people gathered around, and people shouted loudly: "Beat her to death! Let her pay for her life!..." Cai Hu and several other guards also squeezed in, and together with Zhang Zheng, they formed a human wall.

Protect Zhu Feng'er.

Li Zhiyun waved his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me! Although she is Zhu Can's daughter, she is different from her father. She is a good girl with a kind heart! I am the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty.

, you must believe my words!..."

However, no one around the people listened to what he said. People shouted angrily, and some people were holding poles, kitchen knives and wooden sticks in their hands. Many people crowded forward and were about to break through the group formed by Zhang Zheng and others.

There was a wall of people. Li Zhiyun began to sweat on his forehead. If Zhu Feng'er fell into the hands of these angry people, they would tear her into pieces!

At this moment, someone shouted: "Second Master is here!" The crowd that was crowded forward suddenly became quiet, and people consciously made way for them. Li Zhiyun looked up and saw a body walking in outside the crowd.

A strong man, he was followed by five or six guards with knives and swords.

The man walked to the middle of the crowd, frowned and said, "What's going on?" A middle-aged man came over, pointed at Zhu Feng'er and said, "Second Master, she is Zhu Can's daughter!" When Yang Shisheng heard this,

He quickly turned his attention to Zhu Feng'er.

Zhu Feng'er had already stood up. Her bun was messy, her forehead was black and blue, and there were still blood stains on the corners of her mouth. She met Yang Shisheng's gaze, with an expression in her eyes that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Zhu Can's daughter?" Yang Shisheng looked at Zhu Feng'er, waved his hand suddenly, and shouted loudly, "Catch her!"

As soon as the nursing staff heard this, they stepped forward to arrest Zhu Feng'er. Li Zhiyun quickly stepped forward to block her and shouted: "You can't arrest her!" Yang Shisheng looked Li Zhiyun up and down and said, "Who are you?"

"I am the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty."

"King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty?" Yang Shisheng looked at him and suddenly glared, "What a bullshit King of Chu, let me arrest him too!"

"Nonsense!" With a loud shout, Li Zhiyun saw Yang Shilin walking in from outside the crowd.

It turned out that Yang Shilin was not at ease with Li Zhiyun and the others, and had been sending servants to follow them secretly in the past few days. Just now, the servant saw Zhu Feng'er surrounded by people, and worried that something might happen, he quickly ran back to the Yang Mansion and told Yang Shilin, and Yang Shilin rushed over.

When Yang Shisheng saw his brother, he was surprised: "Brother, why are you here?" Yang Shilin did not answer, but said sternly: "They are my guests, please don't be rude!" Yang Shisheng pointed at Zhu Feng'er and said: "Brother

, she is the daughter of the man-eating demon Zhu Can, she should be captured and burned to death!"

"Presumptuous!" Yang Shilin glared at his younger brother, and then softened his tone, "I have my own concerns about this matter, please let the people disperse!"

When Yang Shisheng heard this, he turned around helplessly, waved to the people around him and said, "Let's all disperse. This witch is left to our Yang family to deal with!" It should be said that the Yang family of the Di tribe still has quite a prestige among the people of Nanyang.

Gao Gao, when the common people heard that Zhu Can's daughter was handed over to the Yang family, they slowly dispersed.

The reason why Yang Shilin hurried over to rescue the siege was not out of sympathy, but out of practical interests. Just as he had been reluctant to agree to join forces with Li Zhiyun, he did not want to stand on the opposite side of Zhu Can. Of course,

He didn't even want to stand on the opposite side of Datang.

Yang Shilin knew very well that the Qiuchi Kingdom established by the Yang family of the Di tribe had been able to exist for more than 300 years because of its superb balancing skills. It could maneuver among the major forces and play both sides, and no one could be offended. The Qiuchi Kingdom was too small.

Yes, only by balancing the relationship between all aspects can we survive in the cracks.

Although Yang Shilin didn't know why Zhu Can's daughter appeared in the entourage of King Chu of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Can's daughter came to Nanyang with King Chu of the Tang Dynasty. If something happened here, he would not only offend Zhu Can, but also

It also offended Datang. Therefore, he would never allow this to happen!

Seeing that the people around him had dispersed, Li Zhiyun walked up to Yang Shilin and saluted: "Mr. Yang, thank you for coming to relieve the siege!" Yang Shilin quickly returned the salute: "The King of Chu is too polite. Yang did not fulfill his responsibility and shocked everyone.

Well, Yang deserves to apologize! Your Highness, please follow Yang back to his humble residence. Yang has something to say!" Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyun knew that the other party was about to show off.

Everyone followed Yang Shilin back to Yang Mansion. Yang Shilin invited Li Zhiyun into the hall, and the servants served fragrant tea and left. Yang Shilin looked at Li Zhiyun and said: "Your Highness, King Chu, the reason why Yang avoids talking about joining forces with you is because

He really had his own difficulties. Yang led the people of Nanyang to rebel just because he couldn't bear to see the people suffer misery.

The persecution of Zhu Can's army. The people of Nanyang just want to live peacefully and do not want to participate in the world's disputes. Therefore, we really do not want to be enemies of Zhu Can! Yang has already sent an envoy to Jutan and reached an agreement with Zhu Can

. He is willing to let the past go, so that from now on the two wells will not interfere with the river, they will not disturb each other, and they will live in peace!"

After hearing this, Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "You betrayed Zhu Can, killed his people, and occupied his city. How could he let it go? That was just a tactic to slow down the war!" Yang Shilin said seriously: "King Chu.

This statement is wrong. Although Zhu Can is vicious, he can be regarded as a good man. As the saying goes, a gentleman's words are hard to follow, so he will not break his words, right?"

Seeing that the other party had made up his mind, Li Zhiyun couldn't force him, so he had to say: "Well, since Mr. Yang has made a decision, I can only express my regrets. It is no longer useful for me to stay here, and I will leave for Champion City today.

." When Yang Shilin heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, why should you be in a hurry? Let's leave tomorrow. Tonight, Yang will hold a banquet in the mansion to entertain His Highness and his entourage!"

Li Zhiyun waved his hand and said: "No need! We have been harassing the house for several days and are very uneasy. It is better to leave as soon as possible!" Seeing that the other party insisted on leaving, Yang Shilin had to say: "In that case, Yang will order the housekeeper to take you out of the city.

!”

Li Zhiyun returned to the side courtyard where he was staying and told everyone to pack their bags. He came out of the house and found Zhu Feng'er standing under a big tree in the middle of the yard, staring blankly at a Clivia in the flower pond. Li Zhiyun walked over,

Standing next to her, he said softly: "Still thinking about what happened just now? Those people are all ignorant and rough people. Don't take it to heart."

"No!" Zhu Feng'er turned to look at him, "I don't blame them. I only know today how serious the sins my father committed are. If they beat me to death, they can alleviate the pain of losing their loved ones.

Then I admit it."

When Li Zhiyun heard this, he quickly said: "Miss Zhu, you must not think like this. You have to believe that everything will pass eventually."

Li Zhiyun and the others left the city, met up with the new army stationed outside the city, and then set off back to Champion City.

Zhu Feng'er and Aunt Ying were sitting in the carriage. Along the way, she remained silent and depressed. Aunt Ying looked at her and comforted her: "Sister Feng, everything is over. Don't think about it anymore." Zhu Feng'er glanced at her.

He glanced at her and said: "Yinggu, tell me, why do people live? What's the point of seeing so many cruel things and suffering so much pain in life?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Ying hurriedly said: "Sister Feng, you must not think like this. When a person is alive, he can still encounter many good things and meet many good people. Take me for example. My parents died early, and I have been a pawn to my wife since I was a child.

Maid, Madam is very kind to me. Later, I met the prince again. The prince is a very good person and he has done many good things. Only when I was with the prince did I realize that everyone can get along with each other regardless of their status.

Like a family!”

Zhu Feng'er looked at her and said, "I really envy you. Your parents died early and you were not burdened."

"Sister Feng, how can you say that?"

"You won't understand."

…

After the team returned to Champion City, they rested for only two days and hurriedly set off for the farming site in Xingshan. Scarface had already led three other battalions of the new army to be stationed there.

Li Zhiyun invented the bobbin cart, which diverted river water to irrigate fertile fields, and the crops grew well. A few months later, the wheat was mature and could be harvested with a sickle. Under the blue sky and white clouds, gusts of breeze blew by, and large tracts of wheat rolled golden

wave.
