Bai Guo turned around and looked behind him. The ministers who were helped out by the guards were swaying. They pointed at the moon, and their eyes were also blurred.
They cried and said: "I will die in peace."
The silence at the banquet seemed to be vented at this moment, and bursts of laughter erupted from the palace, which had been a symbol of power for decades.
In the main hall they grieve for their bodies, and outside the main hall they celebrate the dawn.
This is not because they do not value the people, nor is it because they are drunk and talking nonsense.
Just mortals.
Celebrate the dawn, but also mourn your own body.
After getting the last sum of money from Fenghuang, Ginguo and Fenghuang boarded the ship that night, and changed to another ship on the sea that night and headed for Hongliang Kingdom.
Ni Feng and others stayed by Bai Guo's side until dawn and found nothing unusual, so they knew that the level had passed. Bai Guo had been writing the book all night, and Yong Xinglan took a few glances and knew it was a travel note.
It’s just that the value of this travel book will be higher than all the travel books on the market.
Because they couldn't see Fengguo's palace, they couldn't evacuate 150,000 people.
Ni Feng hadn't had a good rest for many days, so she and Li Cheng changed jobs and fell asleep in the dark after dawn. Bai Guo sorted out the travel notes in his hand, sealed them, and waited for someone to send them back after getting off the ship.
Yong Xinglan reminded Bai Guo from the side: "We can't keep Chang Xi any longer."
Li Cheng hesitated for a moment and said: "Twelve contacted his subordinates and asked them to intercede with Fu Changxi, saying that he would handle the matter. The subordinates went to find out whether Twelve was really the same as King Dingxi. Bian took a leave of absence, and I think it’s time to arrive in Fengguo soon.”
When he arrived in Fengguo, he naturally looked for help from Chang Xi.
Ging Guo blew the foam and took a few sips of hot tea.
There is no ice on the sea, but it is actually January now, and the temperature at sea is more variable than on land. It is slightly hotter at noon, but it is so cold in the morning and evening that people can't sleep well.
The Spring Festival is just this month, but there is no such festival in these countries, so whether Gingguo is on the sea or after arriving in Hongliang Kingdom for several days, there is no lively scene everywhere.
Even when entering Hongliang Kingdom, what Bai Guo could see was miserable.
Although the Hongliang Kingdom has opened its gates, the soldiers guarding the city gates are more arrogant than before because of the prerequisite of fifty-two people in front of them. When they look at the truly poor people, they will speak ill of them and directly kill them. The slave was taken away by a guard nearby.
The people didn't dare to struggle and were just pulled into the team.
Those who have money can go through the city gate without giving up a small amount of money. People without money can also pass by if they give some food or good things. However, if they are in the kind of people who are rich but not very powerful, they are not willing to do so. Those who gave away some money would usually have their packages forcibly opened, and any valuables inside would be taken away. If they dared to resist, they would be beaten and thrown into slaves.
Bai Guo knew some things about Hongliang Kingdom.
For example, there are many iron mines in Hongliang Kingdom, which also attaches great importance to mining, but if ordinary people mine it, they have to pay wages, so they usually use slaves from Fengguo to mine.
Countless people from Feng Kingdom are sent in every year, so Hongliang Kingdom does not take these people very seriously, but instead beats or scolds them.
However, the Hongliang Kingdom attaches great importance to iron weapons. From forging to the finished weapons and even the blueprint design, slaves from the country are not allowed to participate. Therefore, most of the people in the Hongliang Kingdom rely on these to support their families and plant crops. The customs of Cheng Zhou Kingdom are different.
It is also because of this cruel treatment of Fengguo's slaves that it is not only the officialdom. Even the people of Hongliang Kingdom do not like Fengguo's slaves, because every time Fengguo gives more slaves to Hongliang Kingdom, it means that there will be fewer workers in the mines this year. Once there is no more, they will find other livelihoods, so they are always among the people who make things difficult for these slaves.
This is why the people of Hongliang Kingdom treat the people of Fengguo like this, but the people of Hongliang Kingdom do not complain, because compared with the mine workers, forging is obviously more honorable, and only the people of Fengguo become slaves. Won't touch this.
Various reasons led to what Ging Guo saw.
Ni Feng had never seen such a scene before, and was stunned for a moment.
He did not expect that the people who were cherished by him would be treated like this when they arrived here. At this moment, he was wondering if it was cruel of him to let them come here.
Bai Guo watched quietly, and slowly moved forward with the crowd. Occasionally, a few people suddenly came to the front to see the gate guards stuffing money, and they could go in directly.
Nie Feng couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to do this, so he heard Yong Xinglan sneer and say: "How do you expect that there will be good things inside a place that looks like bandits?!"
Ni Feng didn't understand yet, and looked at Yong Xinglan with a pair of eyes showing ignorance.
Yong Xinglan was too lazy to explain to Ni Feng, so Bai Guo said: "The more money you give, the more you cherish your life. Such people can get more money with a little scare."
As he spoke, Bai Guo clicked his chin on the general who was registering to enter the city, "The reason for letting them in now is to let them fall into his own trap. Once they enter the city, trying to get out is a joke."
At that time, they will not be able to use the money at will.
Yong Xinglan thought that Fengguo was a bandit den before, but now he realized that he was just a small witch.
Compared with here, it is heaven on earth.
Ni Feng looked at it and didn't know what to think. He murmured for a long time: "Is this how Fengguo still wants to give them slaves?"
Bai Guo couldn't help but laugh, "Yes."
Ni Feng couldn't see such a scene. The warmth in Fengguo was nowhere to be seen here.
Compared with these people, Yong Xinglan was more worried about Bai Guo. He looked at Bai Guo's face and asked, "Supervisor Bai, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Ging Guo took off the curtain hat and showed his true appearance to the world.
If people from the Hongliang Kingdom find out that Bai Guo is Supervisor Bai, who holds an important position but does not have any pass certificate and does not explain it in advance but goes to Hongliang Kingdom in private, then there will be no way even if Bai Guo is forced to stay and become the Zhou Kingdom. .
Bai Guo nodded, "It's okay if it's not close to the palace. Wearing a veil after entering won't attract anyone's attention. But just before Dadong Yi's family showed up in Fengguo, someone also wearing a veil entered Hongliang Kingdom. I'm afraid it's... That’s what attracts attention.”
Yong Xinglan became even more worried.
He always felt that Bai Guo didn't know much about his face.
A face like this has nothing to do with wearing a veil or not. As long as everyone sees it, almost everyone wants to take it as their own. When the time comes, things will become a big deal. As a result, people in the royal family are alarmed and Ging Guo's face is discovered. The identity is even more difficult to explain.
Li Cheng, who had been silent for the whole time, said, "I know how to change my face."
Bai Guo was a little surprised, but when he saw Li Cheng's eyes were sure and confident, he let Li Cheng give it a try, but it turned out that Bai Guo had seen the wrong person.
Ginguo passed the city gate with his face covered in mud. The two soldiers guarding the city gate didn't even look at Gingo a second time.
Li Cheng was quite proud, "I know it's useful."
Every time Yong Xinglan touches Bai Guo's face, he has to hold back to keep from laughing.
He comes from an extraordinary family and can understand Bai Guo's attitude of having to look good when meeting people when he goes out, but he has to say that this trick is still useful here.
Bai Guo didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, so he could only ask Yong Xinglan to find an inn, intending to wash his face first, but at this time, he happened to pass by a group of civilians who were being pushed and escorted by officers and soldiers.
Looking at the messy packages and their clothes, it can be seen that they belong to Fengguo.
Ni Feng became quiet again, and kept watching these people go away, his eyes still red.
Yong Xinglan said: "Let's go."
They are just passing by looking for goods and then leaving, not coming here...
"Can Supervisor Bai save them?" Qian Feng asked Supervisor Bai, not his master or Master Yi.
In fact, they only belong to Supervisor Bai.
Ging Guo rubbed her temples with a headache and said, "It's too much."
There are more than 200,000 people who went to Hongliang Kingdom from Fengguo. This is the latest number, and there may be more in the future.
So much cannot be put into these two states. Even opening a new state is too long-term. There is no time to say that there are more things that need to be paid attention to in management.
Ni Feng saw that Bai Guo's eyes were a little brighter. He smiled at Bai Guo and said, "I just want Supervisor Bai to save these people in front of me."
Bai Guo was stunned.
Yong Xinglan was silent for a moment.
Qian Feng continued: "Supervisor Bai replied to everyone, indicating that Supervisor Bai has been thinking about this matter, so my subordinates will wait for Supervisor Bai to come up with a good solution!"
If you keep thinking about this matter, you have already been thinking about it.
Bai Guo smiled helplessly, "If I had the means, I would have saved people long ago. Why did I wait until now?"
Ni Feng didn't believe it, "Supervisor Bai must have a way."
Bai Guo laughed and stopped lingering, and instead entered the inn booked by Yong Xinglan.
Ginkgo washed the dirt off his face bit by bit in the warm water. He looked at his somewhat gentle face in the muddy water, and also looked at his open eyes.
Is there any way?
Gingguo had a headache and leaned on the chair to look out the window.
There are still people being taken away below, with grimaces and heavier steps. They know what they are going to do. They may be wondering whether they are right to come to Hongliang Kingdom to survive.
Bai Guo looked at it for a moment, then looked away and closed the window.
The footsteps that night entered Gingo's dream. The footsteps gradually became more and more numerous, and then they got farther and farther away. Gingo Guo heard his own voice asking them, "Where are you going?"
They all turned around, looking at her with dull faces and turning around without answering.
Bai Guo felt strange and wanted to catch up, but they stopped. Finally, one person answered her and said, "This is not the place you should come."
Bai Guo asked: "Why can't I come?"
No one answered and they all walked towards the same place. Only then did Bai Guo realize that they were being guarded. Bai Guo looked at the person who was in charge of them. He was wearing the official uniform of the Hongliang Kingdom.
