On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the morning light appears, heralding the arrival of the new year.
The sunshine in the early spring morning did not bring any warmth to the people outside the city gate.
The cold wind howled, and the people who were standing close together were still shivering.
People are hungry and cold, and mourning is everywhere.
"Cheer up!"
From somewhere, a loud cry came out.
The deafening sound broke the dead silence outside the city gate.
"The Third Prince is in the city. If you want to find something to eat or drink, go find the Third Prince."
The man shouted loudly and forcefully.
"It was Prince Ye and the three princes who ignored the safety of the people, caused a civil war, and tried to usurp the throne, which led to the current situation."
"Everyone, keep shouting, let the Third Prince come out, let Prince Ye come out, and give us an explanation!"
"The Third Prince comes out and gives us an explanation. Lord Night comes out and gives us an explanation!"
"..." Only a few people responded to the man's order.
The people who had been shouting all day and night were already hungry and hoarse, and they really could not shout anymore.
The shouts were messy and weak, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the leading man.
"What's wrong?
Don’t you want to go home to celebrate the New Year?”
The man is full of energy and does not look like someone who has been hungry all day and night.
"Now, the only people who can save us are ourselves. Shout loudly and ask the Third Prince to come out and give us an explanation!"
This time, the people's response was still not strong, which was very different from yesterday.
They are all on the run, and some of them have been hungry for more than a day and a night?
What's more, some people may have been sick or injured for a long time.
Many people in the staggering crowd were too hungry to think anymore.
They tried their best to escape from the city, just to escape the war and to survive.
As a result, they were entrusted with the important task of guarding the city gate without any explanation.
But why did they stay there all day and night without getting any comfort or even a bun that could extend someone's life?
The ignorant people couldn't understand it, but the seriously injured soldiers who were thrown in became more aware.
They are just abandoned chess pieces.
"I want to drink porridge."
Suddenly, a soldier with a pale face and blood all over his body stood up.
"I want to drink porridge, I want to be treated, I don't want to die!"
The soldier took one step forward with difficulty, and then another.
The soldiers or civilians around him all raised their tired eyes and looked at this warrior.
But soon, a soldier came over and pulled the collar of the seriously injured soldier.
"What's wrong with you?"
The soldier swung hard and the seriously injured soldier fell to the ground.
Before he could speak, his eyes closed and he became quiet.
"Are you okay?"
Another injured soldier moved over and patted the unconscious soldier on the face.
The unconscious soldier showed no reaction at all, and his face, which was originally pale, now had no color at all.
The soldier sitting next to the unconscious soldier looked back at the soldier who had just pushed him.
"What's wrong with you?
He can’t survive, call the military doctor quickly.”
"Call the medic?
Are you kidding me?"
The soldiers stood up proudly.
"The general means that if you can lure the third prince out and guard the northwest city, you will be rewarded heavily."
"Has the Third Prince come out to admit his mistake now?
No, why don't you just scream and rebel?"
"Shout quickly!"
The soldier kicked the person who was shouting with him just now.
"Yes! That's it. The more pitiful you pretend to be, the better. If the third prince feels sorry for us, we will win."
"With the country in chaos, everyone must be prepared to sacrifice their lives for the country at any time. Shout! Don't stand there!"
