Chapter 991 Tragic Scene
Nan Fangfei nodded, her eyes became deeper and deeper, "Father, don't worry, the child will definitely not disappoint father, and our Nan family should do something for Lian Guo."

……

The carriage gradually approached the direction of the south of the Yangtze River. On the way, Lanyun sent a letter, telling them that they had chosen a safe town to stay and waited for them to meet him in the past.

In the carriage, Yun Shu looked at her palm, and slowly held it again, obviously feeling that her pulse was much stronger.

This small movement of hers gathered all of Feng Ling's eyes, those deep and gentle eyes were shining brightly, and the two of them seemed to see bright hope again.

The few days of traveling was tiring, but fortunately Yun Shu was fine. Looking at the gray scenery outside the window, the towns they passed were getting more and more depressed, and there were many dead cities, which made people tremble.

Everyone's mood became more and more heavy. Su Qin couldn't imagine that he would see such a lotus country one day.

The car is not far away, passing a river.

The bank of the river seemed to be a place for refugees to camp and rest. They saw the carriage of Yun Shu and his party from a distance, and they stood up one after another.

Feng Ling frowned, stretched out his hand to hold the long sword at his waist, and was highly vigilant. However, when the carriage approached slowly, he found that these refugees were not trying to take advantage of the fire, but looked at them with fearful eyes.

Suddenly, the cry of a child was heard from the crowd. An unkempt woman in ragged clothes comforted him softly, but the sallow and emaciated child held her hand tightly, "...I'm hungry... oooh Woooo..."

The woman lowered her head and her voice trembled a little. She touched the child's face with her bony hands, "Be good, bear with me..."

Feng Ling immediately got out of the carriage, came to the woman, and gently put a steamed bun into the child's hand. The action at this time instantly relaxed the tense emotions of these refugees, and their faces gradually revealed A little hopeful.

The woman holding the child quickly came to her senses, and she knelt down in front of Feng Ling with a plop, "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"

"Get up!" Feng Ling stretched out his hand to help the woman up, without showing any dislike for the mess on her body, "What happened? Why are you all gathered here?"

The woman protected the child beside her, carefully looked at the handsome man in front of him, and then looked at the carriage, "Young master and his party came from other places, right? Let's go back quickly, there is a serious disaster ahead In the epidemic area, all those left are those infected with the plague, and a while ago, I heard that a village not far away was slaughtered, so we were so scared when we saw a strange carriage."

?Feng Ling's heart skipped a beat, how could such a thing happen?
"Does sister-in-law know why she was slaughtered? Who did it?"

"This..." The woman showed a bit of embarrassment on her face, as if hesitating to speak.

At this time, a bold middle-aged man came out from the crowd, his words were full of dissatisfaction and anger, "Who else dares to act recklessly in the Lotus Kingdom, it's not just those high-ranking officials and nobles, they He is greedy for life and afraid of death, afraid of being dragged down by the spread of the plague, and colluded with the government to kill all the infected people!"

The meaning of the man's words is that he feels that the cause of all this must be an order from Emperor Lian!

At this time, other refugees were also aroused, and discussions arose.

Feng Ling's face was serious, "Your Majesty has already sent a team of imperial doctors to help the disaster. I don't think this is an order from His Majesty. You may have misunderstood it!"

The middle-aged man took a fixed look at Feng Ling, and sneered, "Young master, how do you know it wasn't an order from the emperor? You said that the imperial doctor came, but we haven't even seen a shadow of it yet! Does anyone have any?" Sons and daughters, because of the plague this time, the wives are scattered, if the emperor does something, can we become like this?"

The cruel reality is really unbelievable!

Knowing that it would be useless to explain again, Feng Ling took out a map from his pocket and handed it to them, "Don't worry, everyone, the imperial doctor is already on his way to Jiangnan, and all necessary supplies will be delivered continuously, please go to the map Just wait at the town marked on the map!"

Everyone looked at the map and questioned suspiciously, "Who are you? Why do you let us go? We will go? Seeing that your clothes are luxurious, you may have colluded with the nobles of the government to deliberately deceive us, right?"

Facing their doubts, Feng Ling spoke sincerely and without anger, "Since there is nowhere to go, why don't you give it a try?"

One sentence made these refugees look at each other, and after a while, they hesitated to say, "Who are you, why should we trust you!"

Feng Ling made an excuse at random, "I have distant relatives who belong to the imperial hospital, and now there is indeed a team of imperial doctors coming. This town will be the foothold of the imperial doctors, so refugees will never be refused entry. The letter is next time."

But in fact, this town is really under the jurisdiction of Emperor Lian, and the Supreme Emperor's hand cannot reach here, so Feng Ling can guarantee the safety of these refugees.

The people glanced at each other, as if they were still considering the truth of what he said. At this time, the woman who had just received Feng Ling's favor stood out first, holding her child, "Thank you, son, our mother and son If you believe in your son, you will go immediately."

After finishing speaking, she looked at the fellow villagers and shouted loudly, "Listen to the women, since we have nowhere to go, why don't we try? Staying here and waiting for the end of the mountain will only lead to death. Why don't you trust this young man?" Come back, I believe that the emperor will not give up on us easily."

But the middle-aged man was still a little unconvinced, "What happened to the massacre of the villagers in the plague area? There must be an explanation, right?"

Feng Ling understood their doubts, and her eyes narrowed like ink, "You must have heard that there are infighting among the powers in the royal family of the Lotus Kingdom. The relationship is intricate, and some things can't be explained clearly in a few words. Although His Majesty has intentions, but Because of the obstruction of certain forces, everyone misunderstood His Majesty's intentions. In short, fellow villagers believe that His Majesty will never sit idly by and ignore the safety of his own people. Those behind the scenes who slaughtered the villagers will definitely get what he deserves. Retribution! And now the most important thing is to ensure everyone's safety!"

What he said was reasonable, and the villagers all showed hesitant faces. If it is true what this person said, then they really might as well give it a try.

Immediately, someone came forward and surrounded the woman, and they looked at the map and studied it together.

"If we start from now, we should be able to arrive in three days!" One of them rubbed his chin and looked around, then turned to the others and said, "Yes, everyone, just give it a try, believe what this young master said How? It’s better than waiting to die now!”

"Then...then let's go!"

"Thank you, young master, for saving your life..."

And the people in this carriage watched the situation change by the river, and finally let go of their hearts.

After the refugees were settled, Feng Ling quickly returned to the carriage, and what the refugees said just now made him feel uncomfortable.

After a while, he opened his mouth solemnly, "The people have always been simple-minded, but now they are full of doubts. It can be seen that something really terrible has happened. Maybe we have to be prepared, the scene ahead will be bigger than we imagined. more difficult."

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and everyone's expressions were unusually heavy.

The carriage continued to move forward. Su Qin, who was sitting by the window, looked away from the river after a long time. Those hungry children made her feel very depressed. She didn't even think that after so many years, the emperor's style was still the same. High above regard human life as worthless!

If an emperor could not seek the well-being of the people, why would he be so obsessed with being in power that the people would be in trouble.

Su Qin's heart was full of grief. The figures of the refugees on the river bank had been lingering in her mind. She would not run away from this war again. She must join hands with His Majesty to defeat the Supreme Emperor, so as to be worthy of these innocent people. I am worthy of myself!

And the further you go, the worse the scene in front of you is. The air is full of corruption and desolation, and there are corpses lying everywhere. People who died of starvation or disease are everywhere.

Looking around, it is even rare to see living people walking around!

The scene was unusually bleak and bleak...

Everyone in the carriage was speechless. If they hadn't witnessed such a tragic situation with their own eyes, it would have been unbelievable that this place actually belonged to the mighty Lotus Kingdom.

A black banner hung above the town ahead, as if to warn outsiders not to enter.

"This is probably the source of the outbreak of the plague." Feng Ling looked coldly at the gray surroundings, with a cold expression on his face.

Jiangnan has always been a prosperous place, but now it has become such a dilapidated place.And the town in front of them could no longer see the prosperity of the past, and at this moment there was an aura of death everywhere.

Looking up, even the sky is gray, with green smoke that can't be dispelled, winding and circling...

After entering the city, the flock of crows that were suddenly startled created a depressing and numb atmosphere.

Those who had already died, their limbs were eaten, their bones were dense, pus, blood, stains, and internal organs flowed everywhere along the cracks of the green brick street, the disgusting breath made people sick, and they still had a little breath , was also covered in bruises, the abscesses on the body were swollen, maggots were struggling to wriggle in various places, and the most frightening thing was that a 'corpse' that had been pecked until only half of its face was left suddenly stretched out its hand towards them, mouth At the same time as foul-smelling black blood spewed out of his mouth, he began to babble...

If it wasn't for the fact that everyone on this trip had seen a big scene, they might have screamed out loud.

The groans and screams all around became more and more clear.Everyone frowned deeply, it seemed that they were the only ones alive in the whole town!
