Chapter 55 Arriving in the Disaster Area

"This fourth prince must have helped the prince. What's so strange about this?" Another slightly fatter man said when he saw the talking man like this and replied disapprovingly. Isn't this kind of thing obvious?

"It's not true for Brother Zhao to say so. If the minister has stood on the side of the fourth prince now, if His Royal Highness comes back, if the fourth prince has the intention to fight..." Before the man finished speaking, the people beside him quickly stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth to prevent him to continue talking, lest he say If there is anything that will make him lose his life.

"This is a dangerous time. You should be careful when you say this, otherwise your head will be hard to protect!"

"You are too careful in the wilderness here..."

"You know, I won't tell you. I'm going to see if the gate is open. If I miss the time, I'll wait for tomorrow." Seeing that he didn't listen to the persuasion, the man didn't want to talk to him. After eating all the bowls of porridge and steamed buns, he stood up and walked out.

Xie Zhiruo has been eating her noodles with her head down all the time, as if she didn't hear anything. She just paused her hand with chopsticks when she listened to several people talking about Mu Yunting, but soon continued to eat.

She doesn't understand anything about the fight in the court. She only knows that the people she care about are only Mu Yunting. The reason why she listens to several people's conversations is that they talk about Mu Yunting. She just wants to know more about Mu Yunting.

"Oh... messy, how can some people do things if it's not messy..." Tang Si threw the chopsticks on his hand on the table after eating the noodles in his bowl and said lazily.

"Ah..." Xie Zhiruo was a little confused by Tang Si's brainless words. She didn't know what he meant.

"Oc's it. We're almost ready to eat. Let's go." Tang Si did not explain, stood up and walked out.

Seeing this, Xie Zhiruo hurriedly checked out and went out.

The two returned to their previous place. After so much time, there were many more carriages waiting near the city gate than before, and there were many carriages carrying goods. The goods on the car may be different. What each caravan has in common is that whether it is a large caravan or a small caravan, there are many long It's still a strong man guarding the caravan. I think he is afraid of encountering bandits or disaster victims on the road to grab goods.

"The carriages have been arranged. Hurry up, they are all arranged, and the gate will be opened in a while." At this time, a group of soldiers in the uniform of the city came to the carriage parked near the gate and shouted to let the messy carriages line up into two long lines, because the gate could only walk through two carriages side by side.

The owners of the carriage consciously line up without objection, because everyone knows that if it is crowded when going out, there will be very few carriages and horses that can go out within the specified time, and only they will lose themselves.

Time passes slowly in everyone's waiting...

"Open the gate!" With a loud shout from the city guard, the thick and strong gate slowly opened.

The carriages began to drive out slowly.

At this time, Xie Zhiruo suppressed the complex feeling in her heart. The first time she left the place where she stayed after crossing, she was inevitably a little excited, but more confused. She didn't know if she could catch up with Mu Yunting's big team, who had been gone for a day. Next, if he catches up, will Mu Yunting see himself? Or did she have a chance to see Mu Yunting?

That's all, that's all. What's the use of thinking about these now? It's better to rush to Mu Yunting's side before making plans. She believes that if she catches up with him, he will not be in the mood to drive himself back.

Soon, their carriage gradually drove out of the gate. According to the foot of their big team, as long as we are faster, I think we can catch up with them in half a day.

Mu Yunting's route is relatively clear, because there is only one road from the capital to the disaster area in the north that is easier to walk, and the rest are some relatively rugged paths, so Tang Si drove to the road he knew without too much hesitation.

When the disaster victims outside the city saw the gate open, many people looked this way, but unlike yesterday, there were fewer people among these disaster victims who wanted to enter the city. I don't know if it was the result of Mu Yunting's appearance yesterday.

"The four princes are doing things quickly, and it only takes one day to settle these disaster victims well." Tang Si looked at the disaster victims outside the city that had basically been concentrated on the ground, and more or less set up some tents that were not very good.

But although it's not very good, it's better than nothing.

The fourth prince? You mean these are all arranged by the fourth princes? Xie Zhiruo was already looking at the situation outside the car. Listening to Tang Si's words, she asked curiously.

"Yes, after the prince left, he did give a lot of things to the fourth prince."

"It's good to be able to think about the people." It seems that Mu Yunting has a good assistant.

"I said, girl, you can't lift your shoulders or your hands. Even if you get to that place, aren't you afraid to drag others down?"

"I, I'm not good at anything. I know medical skills, and I can treat people!" Xie Zhiruo seemed to be hurt by Tang Si. She retorted slightly. Although she has seen steamed bread so far, she has worked hard for a lot of time. It should be no problem... Thinking that she was not even sure in the end...

"It's strange that you, a little maid of honor, can also do medical skills." Xie Zhiruo said that Tang Si, who had obvious medical skills, didn't believe it very much.

"Uh... I, I did it before I entered the palace... So it's not surprising!" Xie Zhiruo doesn't want Tang Si to know that she is actually Mu Yunting's concubine who married into the door. Now she is not even as good as a maid in Zhaoyang Palace. Who would believe that she is Mu Yunting's concubine?

Hearing this, Tang Si just smiled and didn't say anything more. Xie Zhiruo looked at the gradually desolate environment and put down the curtain without looking at anything.

Mu Yunting, who has been on his way for a day, is also getting up at this time and ready to leave.

"How far did you go yesterday?" Mu Yunting, dressed in a long black coat, sat at the desk in the tent, looked at the parchment map on the table and asked in a low voice.

"Your Highness, because yesterday's journey was relatively slow, we only walked a small half of the way. If we follow yesterday's speed, it will take three days to arrive."

"Om, we must hurry up today and arrive the day after tomorrow." Mu Yunting raised his head and looked at the person kneeling down and said.

"Yes, I understand."

As soon as the man went out, Shen Yuyan, wearing a plain white tight waist skirt, opened the curtain of the tent and came in. Although she only simply combed her hair today, she still looked dignified and decent.

"Your Highness."

Hearing the sound, Mu Yunting looked up at Shen Yuyan, and the originally tight nerve on his face was slightly relaxed. Why did the baby come here?

"I heard that Your Highness hasn't had breakfast yet, so I asked Fei Yun to bring it to you." With that, he took the tray from Feiyun's hand behind him and gently put it on Mu Yunting's case.

"State affairs are important, but Your Highness should also be careful about your own body."

"You're still careful. That's all. Get ready to go on the road after breakfast."

"Your Highness is waiting for you."

After Mu Yunting had breakfast, someone came to report as soon as he was about to order to leave.

"When?" Mu Yunting frowned and asked in a low voice.

"Your Highness, a large group of disaster victims are coming to our team."

"What happened after that?"

"I'm worried that the victims are coming for the food and fodder in the team!" Du felt deeply worried when he thought of those menacing disaster victims.

"Why don't you just give them some and let them leave on their own?" Shen Yuyan was stunned when she heard Du Ze's words and felt very worried. If these things can't be handled well, it will be very troublesome. In her opinion, it's better to get rid of it quickly.

Hearing this, Mu Yunting shook his head. Let's see what's going on with this group of people first.

"Order them to be highly vigilant, not to let the disaster victims get close to food and fodder, and never hurt the disaster victims unless they have to, do you know?"

"I understand." Du Ze was ordered to retreat.

"Your Highness..."

"Don't worry. It often happens if we continue to walk like this. If we easily take out the food and fodder at this time, it is likely to cause turmoil, and the disaster victims who get the food and fodder are likely to follow us all the time." Mu Yunting saw the worries between Shen Yuyan's eyebrows and explained to her.

"Wan'er is just worried that those disaster victims will come forward to grab food and fodder, and she is afraid that it will be bad to fight with His Highness's guards."

This matter depends on what the disaster victims will do. If they have nothing to say and they don't move there, it's good, but if...

"You stay in the carriage first, and go outside to have a look." Still worried about the situation outside, Mu Yunting decided to go out to have a look.

"Your Highness must be careful." In fact, according to the previous words, Shen Yuhuan may say that she wants to go out with Mu Yunting, but along the way, Fei Yun, who was serving her in the carriage, always kept talking in her ear how many disaster victims outside starved to death by the roadside. Hearing this, she felt extremely scared, so she was now a little afraid to face the victims.

"Ye-huh." Mu Yunting went out.

"Madam, what if those disaster victims are going to die to strengthen the food?"

"Now that we have arrived at this place, what else can we do? You can only take one step at a time.

Outside the tent, the group of disaster victims are getting closer and closer to Mu Yunting's team. The disaster victims seem to be organized and generally do not fall to Mu Yunting's team, but the old, weak and sick children walking in the front, and the men are all walking behind.

Mu Yunting put down the looking mirror in his hand, and a trace of sadness appeared between his eyebrows. It seems that these disaster victims are not so easy to deal with. They actually know how to let the least aggressive women and children go to the front. It seems that this group of disaster victims should be organized, and there should be a leader.

"Your Highness, how is it now?"

"If you don't move, let's wait and see what happens."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The group of disaster victims are leaving the team more and more. The soldiers have set up a battle 50 meters away from the disaster victims, so that the disaster victims do not continue to move forward and let them take a detour.

"Guo Mingge, these people seem to be soldiers sent by the court. If we want to fight against them, we may suffer heavy losses." In the middle of the disaster team, a moderately tall and thin man said to the tall man beside him with his head slightly.

The man's clothes are so dark that he can't see the original color, and his face is also stained. He can't see his previous appearance clearly, but his clear eyes don't look as energetic and strong as his whole body.

"Well, it's the court that is the easiest to deal with."

"What does Guo Mingge mean by this?" The man didn't quite understand the meaning of what Guo Ming said.

"Since the court sent people down to provide disaster relief, so many disaster victims are hungry now. If they ask them for a little food, will they dare not give them?"

"That being said, if they don't give it to us, they can't fight hard. It's not easy to deal with the officers and soldiers sent by the court." In fact, what men are most worried about is that if the people on both sides start to grab food, they will definitely suffer losses.

"The people of the court will never dare to fight with the victims when they have to." Guo Ming is very sure about this, so he is not too worried.

"Now standing at the front are the weakest women and children. Do these officers and soldiers still want to take action against women and children? If this matter is spread, I don't think the official of the team wants to be.

"Brother Guo Ming, I heard that the one who came to us for disaster relief this time seems to be the prince of the current dynasty. I don't know if this is true?" It's a big deal for the prince to come to the disaster relief in person!

"Yes, it's true."

"Well, will this team be the team of His Royal Highness? If we annoy His Royal Highness, won't we be killed? For these ordinary people, the most unattainable thing is the people of the heavenly family.

"If it is the prince, it will be easy to do. How can the prince of a country dare to abandon the lives of the people?" When he said this, Guo Ming's eyes inadvertently burst into a strange light, and there was another plan in his heart.

"Mr. Guan, save us, Mr. Guan, please help us. We haven't eaten for days and nights. Please help us..." Just as Mu Yunting and others were thinking about what these disaster victims wanted to do, all the disaster victims knelt down to them. He came down and kept kowtodding his head and repeating this sentence.

The soldier, who was originally in a state of readiness, was completely stunned at the sight of such a situation and didn't know what to do next.

"Your Highness..."

Seeing this, Mu Yunting Ye frowned deeply. Du Ze, find out the leader of this group of disaster victims and let that leader come to see this palace. After saying that, Mu Yunting ignored it and walked back to his tent.

Looking at the back of Mu Yunting leaving, Du Ze frowned in embarrassment. How did His Highness determine that he had a leader? It's really... If not, where can he go to catch the 'leader'?

Although I keep complaining in my heart, how can I not do what His Royal Highness ordered? Du Ze walked helplessly to the victims and looked at them and said, "Get up quickly. We are led by His Royal Highness to the Prince to the north for disaster relief. If you have anything to say, you don't have to say so. His Royal Highness is generous and loving the people and knows that everyone will help you if you have difficulties."

The whole team gradually became quiet when they heard that it was the leader of His Royal Highness. They looked at each other one by one and didn't know what to do next.

But just when everyone hadn't been quiet for a long time, such a voice was remembered in the crowd. Please, Your Highness, help us. We haven't eaten for many days..."

The group of disaster victims also followed after hearing this voice.

Du Ze is not stupid. When he sees such a situation, he probably knows exactly what's going on. It seems that His Royal Highness did not expect anything wrong. There is a leader in this group of disaster victims.

"Guys, our Prince has already said that we want to see your leader, and His Royal Highness wants to talk to your leader."

At the beginning, the disaster victims seemed not to hear Du Ze's voice and still said their own, but Du Ze repeated several times. When he was a little angry in his heart, Guo Ming slowly stood up from the crowd of the victims and began to walk out of the team.

Looking at the man who walked out, Du Ze exhaled a big breath in his heart and finally urged him out.

"Are you the leader of this group of disaster victims?" The man in front of Du Ze asked.

Guo Ming, who was tattered, stood in front of Du Ze and replied, "Yes, I am."

"Your Highness wants to see you. Come with me." Du Ze also didn't care much about Guo Ming's attitude and took him directly to Mu Yunting's tent.

"Your Highness has been brought here."

"Come in." Mu Yunting sent a letter and answered in a low voice.

"See His Royal Highness the Prince." Unlike his attitude towards Du Ze, Guo Ming saluted Mu Yunting, who was sitting in the main seat, as soon as he entered the tent.

Mu Yunting looked up at Guo Ming, who was kneeling on one knee, and saw that although he was extremely embarrassed now, the resolute spirit on his body made him raise his eyebrows lightly.

Shen Yujuan had always stayed in Mu Yunting's tent and did not leave. After Mu Yunting returned to the tent, she also accompanied him. Now looking at Guo Ming, who was so dirty that he couldn't see the human form, she couldn't help retreating gently with some fear, because of everyone's attention. The power was not found in Guo Ming at all.
