Chapter 419 Bind the prince back to the capital!
In this way, it will be a lot of trouble.The newly appointed officials are busy going around, but this is not a problem that can be solved in a day or two.What's more, most of the people's homes have been looted, and even if they come back, they are unable to live.Therefore, we can only gather all the people who came back first, concentrate on supplying food, and then slowly distribute the houses.

The emperor issued a decree to fight against Northern Mongolia, but did not allocate much food and grass.Before Luo Cheng plundered the people's food, although he could persist for a period of time, it was not a long-term solution after all.

Fortunately, Huangfu Yan was well prepared.The shops under his command are all over Xiazhou, and there are naturally many grain shops among them. Before coming to Beiguan, he had already ordered people to allocate part of the grain hoarded over the years to Beiguan.It can be regarded as a solution to Beiguan's urgent need, allowing him enough time to calm down Beiguan.

It is necessary to feed the army, but also cannot disregard the life and death of the people, so on average, it is still in short supply.Therefore, it is not bad for the common people to have enough to eat. Who has the spare time to sell food? They don’t even have to eat!As long as the war is not over, their lives will be difficult to restore peace.

Zhou Song, who had been starving for a whole day, wanted to order someone to kill Zhao Fan directly. He couldn't see Zhao Fan's shadow at all, so he could only get angry.

Hearing that Huangfu Yan was going to hold a banquet, he could only bear it.

When it was already dark, someone came and took Zhou Song to the banquet hall in the city lord's mansion.

Huangfu Yan, Zhao Fan, and some generals from Beiguan were there.

Seeing Huangfuyan, Zhou Song became proud again, and Xiong Jiu walked to the center of the banquet hall with strides, took off the box that had been carried on his back, opened it, and took out the shining imperial edict.

He looked at Huangfu Yan arrogantly: "Prince Huangfu Yan accepts the order."

Then, he waited for Huangfuyan to get up from his position and then knelt down, but after waiting for a long time, he unfolded the imperial decree and did not see Huangfuyan move.

Zhou Song's face was darkened, he looked at Huangfuyan, and said coldly: "This is the holy decree, dare to ask the crown prince what it means, could it be that it is impossible to resist the decree?"

Huangfuyan didn't say anything.

"The emperor said that if the prince resists the order, he will be tied back to the capital. Prince, are you forcing the minister to do something?" Zhou Song shouted.

Huangfuyan still didn't say anything.

Zhao Fan and the other generals silently ignored them, pretending they hadn't seen anything, just keeping their heads down and eating their food.

When Zhou Song saw that the crown prince was so disrespectful to him, he even unfolded the imperial decree, but the other party refused to accept the decree, obviously wanting to rebel.He said sharply: "According to the emperor's order, tie the prince back to the capital!"

Zhou Song's men stepped forward immediately, but before they reached the prince, the prince came to Zhou Song first.

His speed was so fast that Zhou Song felt that Huangfuyan was standing in front of him in a flash.

Before he could speak, Huangfuyan's slender fingers pinched his neck directly.

Zhou Song's legs softened naturally, and he knelt down on the ground, and the imperial decree in his hand rolled to the ground.

The few guards who followed Zhou Song were a little stupid. The prince pinched Zhou Song's neck, and they didn't dare to go forward.

Zhou Song's face was flushed, his eyes were full of horror, and he couldn't say a word.

Because he is also a martial artist after all, and he knows that what the prince is holding is his lifeline.

But he didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy, because he couldn't open his mouth at all.
