Jinyang City is a large city in Wu Luo Kingdom, with a population of more than 100,000. Because it guards the north-south artery, commerce and trade are prosperous. However, due to the turbulent situation caused by the wars of various countries, as well as natural and man-made disasters, this prosperous city has now declined a lot.
There were no merchants on the official roads leading to the north and south. There were only a few small merchant ships in the river that went around the city. The city gates were closed, giving a desolate scene.
But in the open space outside the city, countless refugees with sallow faces and skinny muscles can be seen everywhere.
Simple thatched huts and wooden shacks formed a huge refugee camp. Most of the people were lying on the ground motionless. Those who could move around had dull eyes and blank expressions. The air was filled with a rotten stench, and large groups of flies were flying around.
, making a buzzing sound.
A few isolated big trees in the distance were filled with crows. These scavenging birds stared coldly at the refugee camp in search of prey. Exposed white bones could be seen everywhere on the withered grass.
Hell on earth! Seeing such a scene, Qin Yun was shocked.
"Help, someone help me!"
A woman in torn clothes staggered away in the camp, followed closely by several men holding sticks, all of whom looked extremely ferocious.
But the other refugees were completely indifferent to the woman's cry for help. Perhaps they had no strength, or they had seen too many similar scenes, and no one stepped forward to help her.
In a panic, the woman saw Qin Yun and Lin Weishan coming on horseback. She suddenly burst out with powerful force and rushed towards the two men like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.
Qin Yun frowned and immediately asked Black Pearl to speed up to meet him.
The woman ran out of strength after running about a hundred steps. She accidentally tripped over a stone on the ground and fell heavily to the ground. The men behind her took the opportunity to shorten the distance.
The woman stretched out her hand to Qin Yun in fear and hissed: "Help me, they are going to eat me!"
Cannibalism? Qin Yun felt a rush of blood, and anger instantly rose from his heart. Looking at the nearly crazy thugs, he took action without hesitation.
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
Three invisible sword energy shot out from the tips of the ring finger, middle finger and index finger of Qin Yun's left hand, passing dozens of steps away in an instant and directly piercing the heads of the three thugs!
"ah!"
The three thugs all let out a scream, and their heads exploded like rotten watermelons. The white brains and red blood mixed together and sprayed out in all directions. They were so dead that they could no longer die.
What Qin Yun used was the Zheng Shaoyang Invisible Sword Technique that he had just learned, which was inherited from the sword god Luo Yi. Although he had only practiced to the first level, it was easy to deal with a few civilian thugs.
.
Zheng Shaoyang's Invisible Sword Technique is an earth-level sword technique that relies on pure innate true energy to inspire invisible sword energy to attack the enemy. It needs to be performed with bare hands, and can often have unexpected effects in battle.
The escorts who caught up from behind dismounted their horses and helped the woman up from the ground. The latter fainted due to loss of strength, but her life was saved.
Lin Weishan couldn't help but sigh: "I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times. It's so miserable!"
Qin Yun said to him: "General Guard Lin, I have to ask you to help distribute food."
Lin Weishan said solemnly: "It's no trouble. This is also the unshirkable responsibility of warriors like us!"
According to the original employment agreement, the Weiyuan Escort Bureau only had to escort the convoy to Qinglan to complete the task. However, without the help of the escorts, it would be impossible to safely distribute hundreds of carriages of rice and grain to the victims.
So Mingxiu and Lin Weishan reached a new agreement and continued to employ Weiyuan Escort Agency for one month, but the latter firmly refused Mingxiu's additional bonus payment.
According to what he said, Weiyuan Escort Bureau has already received a lot. If we take this money that can be used to relieve the victims, it will really be struck by lightning.
With the continuous arrival of wagons filled with food, the entire refugee camp became commotion. Many refugees who saw hope of survival swarmed around and the scene was almost out of control.
"Master, please do me a favor and give us something to eat!"
"Sir, my child is about to starve to death. Please save him!"
"I want food, food!"
Seeing such a scene, Lin Weishan immediately gathered his energy and shouted loudly: "Don't panic and don't rush. Our Weiyuan Escort Bureau was entrusted by everyone in Mingxiu to deliver food. It is to help the victims, and each of you has a share.
But who dares to mess around..."
There was murderous intent in his eyes: "Kill without mercy!"
Not many of the tens of thousands of refugees still had the strength to run over, but there were quite a few ruffians among them. Although they were initially restrained by Lin Weishan's roar, they soon began to make moves again.
However, the guards of the escort agency were well prepared. They shot and killed those who made noise and caused trouble mercilessly, and used the dripping blood to frighten all those who dared to make any move, and finally maintained normal order.
The victims who came with the convoy came in handy. At Qin Yun's request, they helped set up large pots to cook rice porridge, and helped distribute truckloads of rice to more victims.
As time went by, bags of rice were distributed, praises and thanksgivings for Mingxiu could be heard everywhere in the refugee camp, and no one was causing trouble anymore.
But what Qin Yun didn't expect was that at this moment, the city gate of Jinyang City suddenly opened, and a large group of people rushed out from the city. Hundreds of cavalry acted as the vanguard, followed by a large number of soldiers.
They rushed toward the convoy menacingly. The leading knight in silver armor pulled the reins and stopped his horse dozens of steps away from Qin Yun, shouting loudly: "Who are you? Do you want to come to Jinyang to rebel?"
This knight was in his thirties, tall and handsome, with a ruthless look on his brow.
The hundreds of cavalry behind him were fully armed with armor and guns. It could be seen that they were all well-trained elites. There were also thousands of ordinary soldiers who should be local garrison troops in Jinyang City.
Rebellion? This is a very big label!
Qin Yun raised his eyebrows and immediately rode forward and said in a cold voice: "What's the rebellion? We're just here to help the victims. If you don't open the gates of Jinyang City and don't release food for disaster relief, don't you allow others to do it?"
The knight in shining armor suddenly smiled. He looked at the carriages loaded with goods not far away, with a hint of greed in his eyes: "Disaster relief? Of course, but we have to do it ourselves in Jinyang City. You will all
Leave all the carriages and get out!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
