"Well, everyone, I'll set off first."
After leaving Jiangzhou Fucheng, Ye Cheng headed north towards the capital.
At the same time, Su Daji also headed north from Jiangzhou and returned directly to the Demon Locking Tower.
When she returned to the Demon Locking Tower, all the demon kings were waiting for her here.
This battle scared her, "Brothers, what are you doing?"
"Little sister, how is Da Zhou's situation now?"
Su Daji kept Ye Cheng's words in mind and sighed, "Let's put it this way, An Qing said he would give us 100,000 people a month, but he is just pretending to be fat."
Zhu Zizhen looked at Su Daji in surprise, "How could it be? It's only been ten years since we were imprisoned here in Yecheng. How could a prosperous Zhou Dynasty have turned into this?"
Su Daji sneered. He said, "Guess why we can break through the seal of the Demon Locking Tower so easily?" The seal will be loosened. "
"Brother Zhu, think about it now, why did Dazhou become like this?"
Yuan Hong interrupted Su Daji's words, "You pick out the important things, What is going on in the Great Zhou Dynasty today? "
"There are uprisings everywhere, starvation and death everywhere, and every living thing is left behind, which is heartbreaking. Ye Cheng is currently trapped in Jiangzhou, fighting with the local rebels."
“I don’t know why Ye Cheng didn’t use magic to directly annihilate the rebels, but Jiangzhou, which is going to be given to us, may not even have a single living person when it is handed over to us.” Su Daji is the best at discerning people’s hearts. After meeting Ye Cheng in Jiangzhou, she realized Ye Cheng’s purpose.
In order to have enough people to eat in the future, Su Daji chose to help Ye Cheng lie and kept silent about Jiangzhou's current prosperity.
Instead, according to the version that Ye Cheng deceived An Qing, he described to her demon king sworn brothers a Jiangzhou filled with war and desolate life.
"You mean...this An Qing? He's just here to play tricks on us, right?"
Su Daji nodded, "Exactly. That guy seems to be sincere, but in fact he has no sincerity, and everything he says is just pie in the sky."
“So, I suggest that you don’t join forces with An Qing. Even if you want to join forces, you must first get the benefits.” The monster is being teased by a stupid man. "
"In that case, let's play with her..."
Zhu Zizhen said with a gloomy smile on his lips.
At the same time, in the border area between Yangzhou and Chenzhou, at the gate of Wuyuan County.
Yecheng, who was dressed as a farmer and driving a cow, was being interrogated by the soldiers guarding the city gate.
"Are you really a cattle herder?"
"That's natural, Master Jun, I just hope that these cows will go to the capital to earn some money."
Ye Cheng replied with an authentic rural accent.
This friendly accent immediately made the gatekeeper's attitude much better.
"Since you are a cattle herder, you should know a lot about raising cattle, right? Tell me a few."
Ye Cheng has certainly never raised cattle, but before he set off, An Ning had specially taught him.
"On the Double Ninth Festival in September, let go of the cattle and sheep. "To make the cattle fat, feed them more dew grass." A thousand straws are not as good as one green grass. 》
Yecheng Road.
"It seems that he is indeed an expert? Okay, you can go over there, and be careful when you reach the boundary of Wuping."
"Master Jun, what's going on in Wuping?"
"There is a famine there, and many people have died of starvation. Try to go around there."
Ye Cheng nodded, pretending to be very grateful to the gatekeepers, entered the city, then left the city through the north gate and headed straight for the capital.
Of course he will not go to Wuping County, because further on, there is a very safe mountain road that leads directly to the south gate of the capital.
He does not need to pass through any county towns at all.
Ye Cheng looked back at the city tower of Wuyuan County, then drove the cattle into the mountain.
Because of the snow, the mountain road was extremely slippery, but this was nothing to Ye Cheng.
To the old scalper, it was nothing. After all, the owner of this cow was an old hunter living in the mountains.
On this day, Ye Cheng was in a hurry when he suddenly heard a whimpering sound coming from a distance.
Along with the whimpering, there were bursts of crying.
The voice was also mixed with the sobs of a child,
Ye Cheng didn't want to cause trouble, but the despair in the cry reminded him of the people of Jiangzhou when he first came to Jiangzhou Town House.
So...he decided to go take a look and see what happened.
Walking to the place where the crying came from, Ye Cheng saw a woman in single clothes from a distance, holding a skinny little girl in her arms.
That cry came from the little girl.
The woman was kowtowing to a tall man in front of her.
"Master, please have mercy. The child's father was kidnapped by you last month and he hasn't come back yet. Please take the cattle away and leave the food for us."
"This child is still young. I want to save her life. Please, Master!" On his body, "I was ordered to collect grain, not even a grain of rice is missing!"
"You bitch, you still want to keep your daughter? I tell you, people like you are not worthy of living in the world!"
"And this little girl, looking at the thin skin and tender flesh, just happened to be sent to the military camp to be used as human rations!"
Say it, he was about to step forward and pull the little girl. Ye Cheng's eyes turned cold and he stepped forward.
During this period, he witnessed An Qing's countless tyranny, and thought that was the limit.
I didn’t expect to see something more disgusting today! What a way to use girls directly as military rations!
Are they not afraid of getting sick?
Dare you meddle in my business? "
"Get out! Otherwise I will arrest you and use it as military rations!"
Ye Cheng slowly put down the cattle rope and walked into the man step by step, "Requisitioning food? If I remember correctly, collecting food is not what the military camp should do, right?"
"Do you have a document from the Ministry of Household Affairs? Do you have a seal of payment? Or do you have a warrant from the governor?"
h "No, why are you here to collect grain? You are called grain robbers. In accordance with the military laws of the Zhou Dynasty, you privately rob the people of ten taels of grain. , and you will be punished by being punished. "
"You robbed a cow and a bag of rice. Calculate for yourself, how many times should you be punished?"
The big man was stunned, obviously not expecting that this peasant woman knew the rules so well.
"Why do you care so much? I am from the Chenzhou Army, and I have been ordered to collect grain. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed on the spot!"
"Chenzhou? Du Fu, Du governor, right? He is a fourth-rank governor, who can give him all his strength to collect grain indiscriminately?"
"Do you not want to live?"
"What are you talking about? This is the imperial court..."
