Chapter 600 Breach of Promise

The soldiers' words completely enraged the people. They had escaped to survive, but they had not done anything illegal. They were just asking a few questions and going to jail. They were forcing them to die.

It was not surprising that the victims had such thoughts. No one had helped them all the way here. Not to mention, the officers had driven them out of the town and sometimes stopped them from entering the city.

I wonder how many detours it took to get to the capital.

Even when they were near the capital, they could not enter the capital. They had been hungry for three days before they had a bite to eat. However, there were still people dying every day. No one was not afraid.

"The government doesn't care whether we live or die. If we fight with these people, the big guys will fight with them and take away all the food! I don't believe that they can beat us and we will live if we get the food. It's better than waiting here to die!" There was a loud shout from the crowd, followed by a faint echo, and soon a large crowd followed suit.

The soldier was so frightened that he took two steps back. When he saw the victims approaching him, he subconsciously kicked the porridge bucket out to block the way of the victims and shouted at his companions, "Brother, pick up this guy. These victims are going to turn the sky upside down. If we don't do anything, we will all die here!"

The victims wanted to live, and the soldiers didn't want to die for nothing. At that moment, everyone drew out their swords, and the victims who dared to step forward saw blood.

When the victims saw the blood, many people were too scared to go forward, but someone in the crowd shouted, "If we don't kill these people today, we will all die. Fight with them. If we kill them, we will live!"

The refugees rushed up one after another, and there were not many soldiers who came to distribute porridge. Even if they had weapons in their hands, they could not be their opponents. They were soon surrounded in the middle.

The smell of blood soon spread, and the corpses that fell were soldiers but more helpless victims. Everyone was already red-eyed and determined to kill all the people who were not on their way to live.

When the people who had gone to report to the top came back, they saw such a scene and were so scared that they crawled back to beg for help.

There was a bloodbath on either side of the city gate, but all the soldiers at the gate had been on the battlefield, and no one could break in with a barbed fence.

The news quickly spread to the palace. In fact, Su Mianyue had just heard from the secret guard that Ji Qin had entered the palace.

Ignoring timothy, who was kneeling on the ground in cold sweat, Su Mianyue waited for Ji Qin to come in, excused himself from his salute, and spoke of what had happened at the city gate. After giving Ji Qin some time to digest, he asked, "What does the king of Yongan think of this matter?"

"I'm afraid it's not easy." Ji Qin gave a wry laugh and analyzed, "The victims are united now. No matter what we say, they think it is a sophistry. This is a grievance against the heart of the court, and if it is not good, there will be riots. If we suppress them by force, it will definitely lose the hearts of the people, but if we do not suppress them by force, it will be too difficult to persuade them."

"Does the king of Yongan think that the victims are of one mind?" Su Mianyue sneered.

"What do you think of the empress?" Ji Qin was a little surprised. She didn't expect Su Mianyue to ask that.

"If the victims were single-minded, they would not act impulsively at this time without waiting for the next step of the court. If the victims were not bewitched, how could they possibly go against the court while they could live? The king of Yongan did not live among the people, so he did not understand the sufferings of the people. What the people wanted was just to live and work in peace. It was just an opportunity to live," Su Mianyue explained.

"Yes, I am stupid, but now that the victims have been born, how can I comfort them?" This was Ji Qin's biggest headache. He couldn't solve it without force, but he couldn't use force.

"The king of Yongan should first find out why the refugees rioted and then talk back and forth to the palace." Su Mianyue waved his hand and glanced at the nine men who were still kneeling on the ground.

This man was promoted by Ji Xun after he ascended the throne. Although he was a man of great strength but a bit stubborn, there was no doubt about loyalty.

"This palace will give you a chance to take credit for your crimes. If the refugees want to enter the city again, just stop them. If there are any forced intruders, they will be killed without mercy. This palace does not expect you to appease the victims, but you cannot guard this door in Capital City. You, the head of the people, will be kept by this palace for you so that you can plead with him when the emperor comes back."

"I am guilty. Thank the empress for her forgiveness." Timothy, who was so frightened that he wiped the sweat off his forehead, quickly got up and left.

Su Mianyue threw away the pen in her hand and leaned back in her chair, breathing a sigh of relief. She had a terrible headache these days. She had already made a proposal for the resettlement of the victims, but she was waiting for the right time to launch it again, but now it seemed that she could not wait any longer.

"Empress, there's a secret report from the border," Jixiang reported outside the palace.

"Pass it in," Su Mianyue said urgently.

Su Mianyue had not received a letter from ji xun in the past ten days. He was worried and nervous, afraid that something bad would happen to Ji Xun.

Soon, Jixiang led the soldiers to the hall and saw the messenger covered in dust. At first glance, he knew it was a day and night trip, but he still presented the letter respectfully and politely, not losing half of his military strength.

"The drug man mutated!"

Su Mianyue opened the letter with these four big words. He quickly read the rest in ten lines, and his face became more and more ugly.

This letter was sent back by the little three people. Sann and his people were trapped by the mutated medicine man. If it wasn't for their martial arts, they would have died long ago. Shen Yi was also seriously injured in order to study the medicine man.

Su Mianyue was worried about the war in the north, but he was also worried about Ji Xun's situation.

The last time he received a letter from Ji Xun, he mentioned the coup of the hengyuan kingdom. Although Ji Xun did not say anything else, su mianyue could guess that with Wanyan Lin's character, there would be a great battle.

If the drug man mutated, then the drugs and fighting methods that she had sent to Ji Xun were not applicable at all. Then ji xun would fall into a trap!

"Someone," Su Mianyue said in a trembling voice. Forgetting that the messenger was still kneeling to listen to the order, he immediately ordered Jixiang, "Pass on the order of this palace, immediately deploy the Imperial Guard to guard the city gate. Without the order of this palace, the four city gates of Capital City are not allowed to open again. Pedestrians are not allowed to enter or leave from now on."

Capital City usually did not order the city gates to be closed. After all, the prosperity here represented the prosperity of the country, but now it was a very unusual time, so Su Mianyue could only arrange it this way.

"Pass the word of my palace to the city defense, that is to say, double the number of patrols immediately, and all the soldiers on leave immediately return to the camp for orders. The interior of Capital City should also strengthen the defense. At the end of the day, no pedestrians are allowed on the streets, or else they will be punished for the crime of disrupting the country." Su Mianyue issued several orders in a row, all about the strict deployment of defense.

After arranging everything that he could think of, Su Mianyue suddenly remembered Faang Yuanh. The most important thing now was to find Faang Yuanh. Only he might have a way to get the drug man.

However, su mianyue did not know that Faang Yuanh was in a furious confrontation with the masked man, and the anger scared the people who were nearby to avoid being implicated.

"You promised me that you would never do anything to hurt her again. Why did you break your promise?"
