Chapter 628 Let them in

As night fell, the gray sky was pulled down into thick darkness.

Su Yu and the others searched for wasteland all the way, and reached the area of ​​the Tiger Camp.

The farther they walked towards the tiger, the flatter the terrain on the road would be. On the way, they found several places that could be cultivated.

It's just that these places are scattered, and it's not so easy to manage.

"Let's go to the Tiger Camp to settle down first tonight." Su Yan glanced at the sky, and he can continue to walk around tomorrow after settling in the Tiger Camp.

After choosing a place to stay, they didn't delay any longer, and directly accelerated to the direction of Tiger Camp.

It was already late at night when they arrived, and the black guardian who was guarding in the tiger camp and others were waiting outside the door when they got the news.

Seeing Su Yu approaching, they stepped forward to salute one after another.

Su Yu waved his hands indifferently and signaled them to get up.

"City Lord, the place has been prepared for you."

Su Yan nodded slightly, "It's getting late, you go and rest."

"yes."

At night they rested in the tiger camp.

Su Yan lay down on the bed after eating dry food and doing a simple grooming with hot water.

After spring, the temperature is also very low, and a cold wind blows in the middle of the night.

The sound of the cold wind "whoosh" rang in my ears, like the roar of a ghost.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside.

"City Master, a group of people have come from outside the camp." The voice of the black guardian sounded outside the door.

Su Yu opened the door, "Who is it?"

"The subordinates and others inquired about it, and they said that they escaped from the snowstorm in the southern country."

Su Yu frowned, can the snow disaster in the southern country escape here?

Su Yu followed the black protector and walked out.

"Approximately how many people are there and when will they arrive."

"Going back to the city lord, there are about two hundred people who arrived this morning and are currently being stopped outside the door."

After the formation outside the Tiger Camp was destroyed, it was not rebuilt, so those people directly touched the outside of the Tiger Camp.

When Su Yu arrived, those people were guarded by the men in black.

"City Lord." Hearing the movement, everyone looked at her.

Su Yu nodded, and his eyes fell on those people.

The gazes of those people also looked back and forth at Su Yu.

A haggard, ragged man stood up.

"Excuse me, everyone. We came here from Jiangcheng, the southern country. I don't know where this is?"

The man should be the leader of the team. When he spoke, the others were silent.

Although the man was holding on to his strength, he was actually very weak when he said it. He was so thin that his cheekbones were clearly visible. It looked like he had been hungry for a long time.

Su Yan raised his eyebrows and did not speak, while Cheng Ming stepped forward and said, "This is a tiger camp, and you are not prisoners. Why did you escape this way? Do you know where this area is?"

Cheng Ming's words made those people puzzled, "Little brother, I know that we have crossed the border of the southern country, but I really don't know where this place is. If there is no other way, we will not leave our country and leave our hometown to come here." place."

Cheng Mingdao: "This is the land of the Northern Wilderness. It is a place used by various countries to exile prisoners. It is not something ordinary people should come to."

As soon as the man heard the words Northern Wilderness, panic flashed across his face.

"Lizheng, where is the Northern Wilderness?" Someone pulled the man past and asked in a low voice.

Lizheng glanced at Cheng Ming and the others, "It's a place where prisoners are exiled, it's okay, it's not too bad..." He himself felt a little weak after speaking.

He has heard of the Northern Wilderness, which is full of prisoners exiled from various countries. Who can be a good person who can be exiled?

Fortunately, there are too many of them, so we won't be able to arrest them all.

"City Master, look at these people..."

The development of the northern wilderness needs people, and these people are suitable, but the reason for fleeing from the southern kingdom sounds somewhat weird.

"How far is Jiangcheng in the southern country from the border?" Su Yan asked.

Some of the people who followed were originally in the southern country. Hearing Su Yu's question, he replied: "Returning to the city lord, Jiangcheng is not far from the border of the southern country. Because of the relatively special geographical location, the villages outside Jiangcheng are relatively remote. The city lord might as well ask the little one to ask them, and then he will know whether what they said is true or not."

This person Su Yu trusted. Since he is from the southern country, he should know the situation there better.

Su Yu nodded, and the man stepped forward to talk to Li Zheng.

The two of them didn't speak official language, they should speak the dialect over there.

After communicating for about a quarter of an hour, he returned to Su Yu.

"City lord, they said they were villagers from Shangyao Village outside Jiangcheng. Before the war between Nanguo and Chu, Nanguo increased taxes, and almost all the food was handed over to the court. Jiangcheng was also cold in winter in previous years, but the snow did not seal the mountains. Well, the people in the village can find a way to go to the city to find some work to do, barely starving to death."

But there was a snowstorm this year, and the officers and soldiers in the city were afraid that they would cause riots if they entered the city, so they didn't open the city gate at all, and many people were frozen to death under the city wall.

The imperial court in the southern kingdom didn’t care. The common people had no choice but to save themselves while waiting for help. However, the road to the south was blocked again, and they had to pay money to leave. They had no choice but to leave the country to see if they could find a chance.

After listening, there was no change in the expression on Su Yu's face, and he only briefly explained a few words to the people behind him.

After the man retreated, Su Yun said: "This is the land of the Northern Wilderness, since you have come here, you must abide by the rules here, if you don't abide by the rules, your end will only be worse than the floating corpses on the road, understand? "

Those people heard that there was a chance to stay, but they were afraid of obeying the rules, so they quickly got up and kowtowed to Su Chen.

"Don't worry, we are all good citizens, and we will not leave our hometown unless we have to. If we can, we will abide by the rules and never cause you any trouble."

Su Yan nodded slightly, motioning for them to open the door and let them in.

Even if there are nearly two hundred people, the tiger camp can fully accommodate them.

They found a house to settle down, and as soon as they entered the house, they smelled the smell of thick soup, and their eyes were staring out of the window.

Not long after, the men in black walked over carrying several large pots.

Su Yun said: "I asked someone to boil some broth for you, now it's freezing cold, drink some to drive away the cold."

These people didn’t expect that they would not only have a place to stay here, but also broth to drink, so they stood up with a strong breath for a while.

Su Yan signaled them not to worry, everyone has soup to drink, and the man in black will deliver it to them.

Holding the thick soup in their hands, many people couldn't wait to drink it in big gulps.

A large bowl of soup quickly bottomed out.

But before they could catch their breath, someone clutched their stomach and vomited.

"Ouch!"
