Overnight, a large number of sick refugees poured into Kyoto, a number beyond anyone's imagination.
Jiang Ruyan had tightened her purse early in the morning and planned to go out to buy it herself. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door of the Hou Mansion, she saw several men with fierce looks and abscesses on their faces passing by. As soon as they saw her, they rushed towards her.
"ah--"
The screams of fear echoed through the sky, and she quickly asked the guards on both sides to close the door.
When Liu Chengyu arrived after hearing the news, he saw Jiang Ruyan sitting slumped behind the door, her eyes filled with tears of fear, "Your Majesty, there are so many evil villains outside who are infected with the epidemic, it's really scary!"
"Stop mentioning the epidemic, it will make people laugh! Whatever you want to buy, just tell the servants."
At this time, he was very upset. He took inventory of the treasury and the dining room in the mansion last night, and found that the food stored in the house could not last for two days. In addition, there were cries of water leaking from the nearby mansion at night, which made him unintentional to comfort Jiang Ruyan. .
"The prince should go with Ruyan, Ruyan is really scared."
Let your servants do the shopping? At this critical moment, what if they try to make money out of it!
Seeing her lingering, Liu Chengyu frowned and impatiently pulled out the sword from his waist and opened the door. He heard that there was someone making trouble at Xia Yunxian's place yesterday, but she actually resolved the crisis with a few words.
In contrast, he really didn't want to criticize Jiang Ruyan. She was also a daughter of the Xia family. Why was she so useless?
Unexpectedly, when those ferocious faces came into view, Liu Chengyu's pupils shrank, and the leg he just stepped out retracted again.
"Master, please don't go out. I heard that bandits have infiltrated among the refugees. They are running around in the capital, stealing things, killing people and then running away. The government can't catch them in time!"
The manager hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, but was immediately scolded fiercely by Liu Chengyu, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
This scene fell in Jiang Ruyan's eyes, and a strange feeling immediately emerged in her heart.
When they first met, he didn't mean that he killed many enemy soldiers, and in the end he was outnumbered and narrowly escaped death, so he found a farmhouse to hide.
But looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like he has killed an enemy before?
"Where's Xia Yunxian?" Liu Chengyu suddenly asked, but the steward didn't take it seriously, "The Crown Princess followed Prince Pingnan's carriage to the training ground for resettling refugees in the western suburbs before dawn."
"Sister is so hypocritical that the whole house is deprived of food. Instead, she cares about the lives of unrelated refugees and even gives out porridge..."
Jiang Ruyan was about to instigate, but Liu Chengyu reprimanded in a low voice, "Damn it, does she want her life?!"
What?
Did he hear it wrong? Is the prince worried about Xia Yunxian's safety?
…
"Prince Princess, since your explanation yesterday, the refugees have become more at ease, and everything will go smoothly in the future."
Chunxiao was extremely pleased to see the orderly scene in front of her, but there was not much joy on Xia Yunxian's face, and it was too smooth to make people uneasy.
The mastermind who wants to do evil things in the name of a refugee cannot let her live here peacefully, otherwise how can she be blamed?
"Uncle, this is already your third bowl!"
The old man in front of him was wrapped in a sack, holding up a bowl with a mocking smile on his face and refusing to leave. He grinned his jagged yellow teeth, his eyes were full of humble flattery, and he looked extremely pitiful.
If the maid serving porridge had been in the past, she would have softened her heart and agreed to him, but last night the Crown Princess had explained that she must refuse ruthlessly when encountering such a situation, and must not set a precedent!
"Well done to you, old man. I'm really hungry. The last bowl is for sure!"
He raised his index finger tremblingly, but the maid frowned, "You just said the same, you can only receive one bowl per meal, drink porridge and take medicine, the rules must not be broken!"
Xia Yunxian slowly came over, and then immediately noticed that his slipped cuffs revealed a section of his arm with a scar!
There is also the way he holds the bowl, and the tiger's mouth of his hands clearly has calluses caused by holding knives for many years.
This man is a practicing martial artist, but he wants to dress up as a frail old man and blend in among the refugees!
"I just told you when we were giving out porridge that anyone who doesn't follow the rules will be beaten away with sticks and no further treatment will be given. Sir, are you sure you still want to drink porridge?"
Xia Yunxian had already winked at the guards, asking them to quickly move reinforcements, and then walked to the porridge shed and looked at the man coldly.
The old man nodded without hesitation and raised the bowl higher in a flattering manner, "Good deeds, good man!"
Seeing that she is just a fair, tender and pampered weak woman, she cannot scare anyone even if she says harsh words.
Countless refugees behind the old man craned their necks to watch. Xia Yunxian knew in his heart that if he really succeeded, it would be difficult to establish his authority in the future!
They were in a stalemate like this until the guards returned with a group of people. Xia Yunxian showed an apologetic expression and said, "Beat him out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man was picked up and dragged outside. Suddenly, there was a burst of ghostly crying and wolf howling. The refugees shrank. How could they dare to imitate him at this moment?
Unexpectedly, a roar full of murderous intent sounded.
"Whoever dares to touch him, I will chop you down!"
When everyone heard the sound, they were shocked. Suddenly, a crowd of refugees came towards them. The one-armed man with a face full of abscesses at the head actually pulled out a big knife from his back!
When the palace guards saw this, they immediately drew their swords from their waists and rushed forward. They didn't care about the old man and first protected the helpless women and children behind them.
"Hehe, such a beautiful little lady, why is she always shouting and killing? We at Feiying Village are here to support you. What's wrong with having an extra bowl of porridge?"
The old man who was still hunched over just now suddenly straightened his back and smiled obscenely.
Feiying Village? !
The guards felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They knew that half a year ago, the DPRK and China sent many troops to encircle and suppress Feiying Village stationed near the border, and they were expelled after suffering heavy casualties.
Why do these people appear in Beijing?
And looking at this posture, he is clearly prepared!
The leading man glanced at the female relatives present with a sinister gaze, and licked the corner of his mouth. They brought more than 300 brothers, not counting those who came to support them, and these guards were less than a hundred, so they were not to be feared at all!
"Today, let alone medicine and porridge, I even want women!"
With a wave of his broadsword, the bandit behind him immediately rushed over with a sinister smile. He and the old man simply took off the sack that was in the way, revealing his lean chest tattooed with a flying eagle.
The ears were filled with screams one after another, and the refugees were in a mess.
The guards protected Xia Yunxian and backed away, "The Crown Princess goes first!"
"Want to leave? Catch her!"
The bandit leader chopped down anyone he saw, and rushed towards Xia Yunxian with murderous intent!
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. The palace guards around him fell one after another, and his ears were filled with the cries of children and the begging of women and children for mercy.
Xia Yunxian's heart felt cold. She had always known that the world was unfair and she also understood the ruthlessness of the battlefield. But now she saw with her own eyes that the refugees she had just treated were disemboweled, and her tears fell uncontrollably.
A rebellious face suddenly appeared in his mind. If he were here, he wouldn't let these bandits do whatever they wanted, right?
It's a pity that that man is probably guarding the door of Prince Xian's Mansion, guarding his childhood sweetheart!
"Don't be afraid, little lady. What are you doing with the knife? Do you want to tickle the uncle?"
In the blink of an eye, the bandit leader had already arrived in front of Xia Yunxian, stepping on the body of a guard and forcing him over.
She seemed to be able to hear the sound of her own heartbeat. Looking at the blood stains on the bandits, she suddenly said, "I have stored up a lot of food. As long as you let them go, I will go with you!"
The other party was stunned, obviously not expecting that this bitch was brave enough to bargain with him!
"Ha, it's interesting. It seems that I have to break the rules again. I originally agreed to give you your head, but now, I want you to be the wife of Yazhai!"
What? !
Xia Yunxian's eyes flashed. Could it be that she was the target of these bandits from the beginning? !
The unscrupulous eyes on the other side were full of greed, looking up and down at her exquisite figure. Just as he was about to reach out to Xia Yunxian's chest, a sharp arrow suddenly struck through the air...
