Yu Zhi looked at the aggrieved Wei Wuji.

How could General Kaiyang, who once stood tall with a white tassel spear in his hand, look like an abandoned little resentful woman?

"Old Wei, don't cry like a bitch!" Yu Zhi said angrily.

"Your cultivation level is so high, of course it will be of great use!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Wuji's expression changed and he chuckled, "I knew the young master wouldn't be so heartless."

"This matter is still brewing, and you still need to take care of Beidou Camp now!" Yu Zhi said.

After a night of wind and snow, the entire Qiang City was covered in heavy snow.

The people who woke up looked at each other and looked after their companions, thankful to have survived the harsh wind and snow, and prayed that the people around them would be as lucky as him.

Dang, Dang, Dang!

A burst of gong sound penetrated the streets and alleys of Qiang City.

Steaming white porridge and steamed buns were also distributed to the refugees following the sound of the gong.

Yu Zhi sat casually on the street, drinking white porridge and eating white steamed buns like the refugees.

Suddenly, someone pointed at Yu Zhi and shouted: "Master Yu...Master Qingtian...you are Master Yu from Su City."

Yu Zhi was stunned and looked at the other party.

I saw only a few people and gathered around.

"Are you..." Yu Zhi asked.

The other party said excitedly: "Master Yu, we are the people of Su City. You defeated the bandits in Su City before and saved us."

Yu Zhi recalled what happened in Su City and looked at the people in front of him with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Are you from Su City?" Yu Zhi asked.

Several people nodded, with tears in their eyes and chapped wounds on their thin palms.

"The battle went from Nanzhou Prefecture to Cangzhou Prefecture, from Cangzhou Prefecture to Yangzhou Prefecture, and when we came out of Su City, there were hundreds of us, but now there are only a few of us left."

"Yes. Those who starved to death, those who froze to death, and some who were taken away by the officers and soldiers as spies. Brother Sun's granddaughter was spotted by the officers and soldiers and suffered a disaster."

These talents have experienced the scourge of bandits, and now they are exposed to war and are displaced.

I don’t know how long it took to walk from Nanzhou Prefecture to Ximo Prefecture, and I don’t know how much hardship I endured along the way.

Yu Zhi's eyes were cold, but he said gently: "Since everyone has come to Qiangcheng, I will not ignore you. In a few days, everyone will no longer have to live on the streets."

Several people's eyes filled with tears, looking at Yu Zhi, they burst into tears.

Most afraid of the concern of strangers.

Yu Zhi said loudly: "As long as I, Yu Zhi, stay in Qiang City, I will take good care of you all. Not to mention big fish and meat, I will not let you go hungry."

Many people don't know who Yu Zhi is, but the refugees who fled from Nanzhou Prefecture have heard of Yu Zhi's name and know about Yu Zhi's good deeds in Nanzhou Prefecture.

As a result, it spread from person to person, and Yu Zhi's name suddenly spread among the refugees.

In Taiping Villa, Yu Zhizheng was looking sad and worried.

Tens of thousands of refugees have huge expenses just for food, as well as other winter clothing and charcoal fires.

Listening to Qiu Ruoruo's analysis, Yu Zhi became even more worried.

"I have such a bad mouth." Yu Zhi regretted his bold words on the street.

Now tens of thousands of mouths are pointing at Yu Zhi for food.

Qiu Ruoruo smiled and said: "Brother Xiaoyu, you never solicited trouble before. Is your conscience discovered today?"

"Humph." Yu Zhi sneered, "I was so cold last night that I said some nonsense."

Qiu Ruoruo chuckled, knowing that Yu Zhi would never leave these refugees alone.

What I said today might be a headache for a moment, but Yu Zhi would do it whether he said it or not.

It was rare for Li Wantong to see Yu Zhi so distressed, so he teased: "You should think of a way."

Su Muchi was also watching the joke.

"Oh, as the saying goes. Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and they fly apart when disaster strikes. Tong'er, Mu Ci, can you bear to watch my reputation be ruined?"

The two women laughed in unison: "Be patient!"

Yu Zhi waved his hands and said helplessly: "That's all. I have been carrying the reputation of asking for shame for three years. Anyway, I am thick-skinned. When the time comes, I will push you two out and say that you are my Yu Zhi's wife. Let's see if you will suffer. I can bear it."

After the two women were stunned for a moment, they bared their teeth and claws towards Yu Zhi.

Naturally, they would not ignore this matter. The three of them were not idle last night and had already made plans.

Tens of thousands of refugees have hands and feet and should not wait for food to open their mouths.

Su Muchi said: "A few days ago, I asked the textile craftsmen of the Su family to come to Qiang City so that the women among the refugees can weave."

Li Wantong continued: "As for men, they can follow the soldiers of the Beidou Camp to hunt in the Lianyun Mountains. There are many wild beasts deep in the Lianyun Mountains. They are enough to provide food for some people."

"..."

The three of them thought a lot last night and came up with all the possible ways to implement it.

As long as it is implemented properly, tens of thousands of people can barely survive this cold winter.

Yu Zhi's "arrogant words" did not break his promise.

On that day, all the refugees received their own tasks. If they wanted to eat, they couldn't just ask for it.

Until New Year's Eve, simple houses and food were fully prepared.

In the camp where the refugees gathered, several soldiers from the Beidou Camp put down their wooden stakes and gathered around the campfire to keep warm.

They are practitioners and are also afraid of the cold.

"Bah, damn, I don't know how long this work will last."

"Stop complaining. These people are quite pitiful."

"Why are you pitiful? After all, I am a strong man of the seventh level of the Open Monument. No matter where I am, these people should be respectful to me. Why should I work for them in this cold weather?"

"Back then, our Beidou Camp was so majestic in the northern border, but now it has become a coolie. I don't want to do it anymore."

The complaints in the Beidou camp naturally reached Yu Zhi's ears.

Yu Zhi also knew the grievances of these people, and also knew that practitioners would be somewhat arrogant.

He always allowed these grievances to grow and ignored them.

This also gave Xiao Jingqi a chance.

The soldiers who knew each other well began to win over the old Beidou Battalion under Yu Zhi.

After all, Xiao Jingqi never had to do such dirty work.

Someone was moved and returned to the military camp outside the city, never to appear again.

Yu Zhi still ignored him. To this day, almost all the refugees have houses to survive the cold winter.

Yu Zhi looked at the soldiers of Beidou Camp and heard what those soldiers said, but didn't care.

He is the young master of Beidou Camp, and he became the young master of Beidou Camp because of the glory of his father.

Prestige and trust need to be established by Yu Zhi himself.

Wei Wuji followed Yu Zhi, and when he heard the remarks of those soldiers, he stepped forward angrily.

However, Yu Zhi stopped him and said: "There are many soldiers with such thoughts. If we punish them based on military power, they will definitely not accept it. Old Wei, there are some truths that need to be experienced by them to understand."

Yu Zhi stepped forward alone.

When everyone saw Yu Zhi stepping forward, they quickly shut their mouths.

But some people were not convinced and said to Yu Zhi: "Young Master, you came just in time. I, Old Yuan, have something to say."

"I heard everything you just said." Yu Zhi calmly brushed the snow off the wooden pile and sat on it without caring.

No one dared to look directly into Yu Zhi's eyes.

You must know that those who disobey military orders in the army will be killed without mercy!

After all, it was because Yu Zhi had no prestige among the old Beidou camp that these people dared to gossip behind his back.

Yu Zhi looked at the person who had just complained and asked, "What's your name?"

The other party thought that Yu Zhi was going to punish him, so he grunted twice and said unconvinced: "Yuan Gang. What I just said is what I said. We and other Beidou battalion soldiers should have been galloping on the battlefield, but now we are attacking these refugees."

"Build them houses, take them into the mountains to hunt, and give them porridge to eat... Beidou Camp back then was not what it is now."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes shone brightly. Recalling the scenery back then, and then comparing the current situation, the brilliance in their eyes dimmed again.

Obviously, they also had a lot of confusion, and they had the same thoughts as Yuan Gang.

But the important thing is that these people are still here.

Yu Zhi's eyes swept over everyone, and he said calmly: "What was it like back then? Was it that the Big Dipper would lead your horses to the mountain gate to shock the scenery in the north?"

It must be said that the history of Beidou Camp is shining with brilliance.

If it hadn't happened later, the legend of Beidou Camp would have been even more colorful.

Yuan Gang nodded fiercely and said: "Yes! At that time, young master, you were not born yet. Beidou Camp was so majestic. No one in the north would be respectful when they heard the words Beidou Camp. We are the same. Proud of Beidou Camp. But now..."

Yu Zhi said calmly: "Now? Are you doing all these dirty and tiring jobs to humiliate you?"

Suddenly, Yu Zhi's tone became as cold as the ice and snow deep in Lianyun Mountain.

"If you don't want to stay here, you can go to Xiao Jingqi's place. The prestige back then was just the intimidation of force. How about you talk about the so-called prestige after the Beidou Camp was destroyed and listed as a treason?"

"Twenty years ago, did anyone cry out for you? Did anyone help you escape?"

"prestige?"

Yu Zhi repeated these two words again, and then burst into laughter.

Yu Zhi stood up and glanced at everyone.

"I still say the same thing, if you want to leave, I won't stay. When the day comes that you regret it, remember... Beidou Camp doesn't want you anymore."

"If you are willing to stay, I know that I will rebuild the glory of Beidou Camp and bring you a different kind of glory."

Yu Zhi turned and left.

Having said so much, I hope these soldiers of Beidou Camp can understand.

If they can't understand this, it's up to them whether to stay or leave.

Wei Wuji watched Yu Zhi approaching and said with a bitter smile: "Young Master, you can teach them a lot more harshly than me."

"Really?" Yu Zhi didn't think so.

Immediately, Yu Zhi sighed again and said, "Old Wei, do you know why my father died so unjustly?"

"He was plotted to death, and no one vindicated him after his death. The Beidou Camp that he worked so hard to build was destroyed overnight, and all the soldiers were regarded as traitors."

"To be honest, it's quite miserable."

Wei Wuji shook his head.

Yu Zhi continued: "Because, he is not smart enough. He thought he was protecting the Chu royal family, followed an imperial edict, and went to Kyoto to die, but he didn't know that Beidou Camp should protect the common people."
