Otherworld Supreme Teacher

Chapter 229 Miserable refugees
After leaving the country of dancing, Kong Haotian led his apprentices to continue thinking about the old Tang Empire in the southeast direction.

Along the way, Kong Haotian and the others passed through more than a dozen small countries, the farther they were from the Rhine Empire.The closer the distance to the old Tang Empire, the customs gradually began to change towards the old Tang Empire.

The temperature in the southeast was obviously higher than that in the north, Kong Haotian and the others traveled all the way but did not feel the winter cold that they should have.

"Ahead is the Old Tang Empire." After nearly a month, Kong Haotian and his party finally arrived at the border of the Old Tang Empire.

Therefore, Kong Haotian, the border of the Tang Empire in this direction, came once when he went to the Kramers Mountains, and the guards here still had an impression of the two holy-level powerhouses, Kong Haotian and Demon Wolf, and let them go without any interrogation. .

Therefore, Tang City, the imperial capital of the Tang Empire, is located in the northeast of the empire, more than [-] miles away from the border. If Kong Haotian and the others still travel at the current speed, it will take a month to reach it.

One month seems to be just right for them, so Kong Haotian still practiced as before, while he was cultivating and hurrying, he didn't mean to be anxious at all, after all, it was Bing Mokun who should be really anxious now.

"Young masters and ladies, give me something to eat. I haven't eaten for three days." After entering the border for three or four hundred miles, Kong Haotian and the others came to the western province of the old Tang Empire, but as soon as they stepped into this The land is facing hundreds of thousands of victims!
"What's going on here?" Kong Haotian and the others didn't see similar scenes even in those small countries along the way, but in the powerful old Tang Empire, there were hundreds of thousands of displaced victims!
Looking at the current situation, money does not play any role for them, only food is what they really need.

Groups of victims in ragged clothes, including old people in their 80s and 40s, babies in their infancy, men in their [-]s and [-]s, and young girls in their [-]s and [-]s, but now they are all lying on the ground indiscriminately, pulling Watching passers-by, begging for their help.

Kong Haotian and several of his apprentices had already fasted, and they really had nothing to eat except wine, except that Fei'er brought some snacks.

"Clarify the situation first, Xingyao, go and see what's going on." Kong Haotian frowned slightly, and instructed Xingyao.

According to Kong Haotian's instructions, Xingyao took a little food and went to a few scattered victims to inquire about the situation, but when the victims next to him saw the food that Xingyao took out, they immediately jumped on it frantically, making Xingyao Overwhelmed!
Helpless, Xingyao had no choice but to pull one person up from the ground, returned to Kong Haotian, and handed over the food in his hand.

What Xingyao brought up was a young man in his 20s. He almost snatched the food that Xingyao handed him and stuffed it into his mouth!The way he eats, it can be seen that he is really hungry.

As if he would never be full, as long as Xingyao handed over the food, the young man took all the food and ate it all in a short while.

"Thank you son, um, thank you!" The young man wiped his mouth with his tattered sleeve, then used his mouth to pick up the leftover dregs and ate them into his mouth.

"These people are so pitiful!" Seeing the appearance of the young man, and seeing the helpless eyes of the victims around him, the children felt a burst of sadness in their hearts.

"What's your name, what happened here? Why are there so many victims?" Kong Haotian's face remained normal, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"The young one is called Hu Huan, an orphan, and has lived here since he was a child." The young man said with a flattering smile, "This was originally one of the most affluent places in the western province. Meijiang suddenly launched a flood, which flooded the surrounding area for seven or eight hundred miles! After the flood, the plague broke out again. Tens of thousands of people were drowned or died of the plague. Those who escaped now are all Better luck!"

The Meijiang River is a large river in the old Tang Empire. It is about 4000 miles long and originates in the mountains in the south. The river in the western province is the section with the most abundant water.However, floods rarely occur in this section of the river, especially the catastrophic floods that submerge hundreds of miles around have never happened before!

"Didn't the government come out to provide disaster relief?" There were at most a few million people in the entire disaster area, but now Kong Haotian saw hundreds of thousands of people. It is conceivable that basically all the disaster-stricken areas have not received relief.

"The disaster relief was provided, but it didn't do anything! This flood is different from the usual ones, one wave after another, as if it never ends! Not many of the disaster relief funds allocated by the above can be used on the victims. , It will be even more difficult to deal with such a situation again, so now the local city lord doesn't care at all, and almost all the victims of the disaster have become refugees!" The young man explained.

"What's going on over there?" Kong Haotian looked forward and saw a group of people wearing priestly uniforms shuttled among the victims.

"You mean those priests? They are good people! The government can't control the situation here, and the adults of the divine religion began to help us. They brought us food, gave us the belief in survival, and helped us disperse the people who took advantage of the disaster. Those bandits who robbed, if not for these adults, there must be more dead!" The young man looked at the priest with a trace of gratitude in his eyes.

"Did they help you like this before?" Kong Haotian didn't believe that God's religion was so kind.

"So?" the young man thought for a while, "So that's not the case. In the past, these priests and adults only preached, and the mansions of those nobles were more frequented! But after the disaster, they changed. In the past, we started to care about the people!"

Kong Haotian snorted coldly when he heard the bullshit's words. It seems that these priests also want to take this opportunity to vigorously develop the believers and spread the image of God's mercy, benevolence and righteousness.

"Master, let's help them." Seeing so many disaster victims, no one could remain indifferent, especially these children who had never seen such a scene showed great kindness.

"Want to help these disaster victims?" Kong Haotian has seen too many such things, so he doesn't have too many disturbances in his heart, but he also wants to help these people.

Kong Haotian said to the children: "I will leave this matter to you guys, don't just think about relying on yourself." After that, Kong Haotian didn't remind again, maybe this time is an exercise for the children good chance.

Looking at these poor victims, the children wished they could concoct food for them to eat immediately, but they also knew that this was unrealistic.

"What should I do, Second Senior Brother?" Every time he thinks of a solution, Hong Qing has become a figure at the level of a military adviser, and there is no need to establish any prestige in the old Tang Empire, and there is no need for Xingyao to come forward. .

"Brother and I went to find the city lord, and you guys went to the big merchants in several nearby towns!" Hong Qing assigned.

"Okay, let's do this, let's split up!" The children immediately started to act according to Hongqing's arrangement. For the victims, a second may save a life.

Kong Haotian is quite at ease about what the children can do, at least if they are soft, they can be hard!

"Demon wolf, go protect Xingyao and Hongqing!" Kong Haotian ordered, he was quite at ease with Xingyao, but the other children made him a bit unable to guarantee their safety, so he secretly Follow Alex and the others to keep them safe.

There are two relatively large cities and seven or eight towns within a radius of [-] miles around here. Xingyao and Hongqing naturally looked for the largest city first. As long as they are willing to help, everything will be easy to handle.

Hong Qing and the two rushed to the nearest larger city, Qingzhou City.This city is considered to be the largest nearby city, but there is still a certain gap compared with the Raziel City that Mayfair is in charge of.In an extraordinary time, the two children, Xingyao and Hongqing, rushed directly to the City Lord's Mansion without any notification.

"Where is your city lord?" Xing Yao came to a guard in a flash, and asked coldly with a cold light in his eyes.

"In the study room of the east courtyard." The guard said subconsciously for a moment, but when he realized that the two children had disappeared in place and went to the east courtyard.

"You are the city lord of Qingzhou?" There were only a few people in the east courtyard, and only one came from the room, so Xingyao and the two quickly found the study.

"Who are you?" A bloated man in his fifties who was resting on the bed in the room snapped when he saw two teenagers who broke in suddenly.

"Hmph, you don't need to know who we are, let me ask you, why don't you help those victims?!" Xingyao scolded angrily.

The man gave the two children a disdainful look: "Which family are you from? Why don't you understand the rules at all? Come on, throw them out!"

In Qingzhou City, the city lord is the boss, the local emperor here, and no one can disobey him!
"Crash!"

Hearing the city lord's shout, seven or eight guards rushed in from outside, and immediately went forward to arrest a few children according to the city lord's order.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the identities of the two children may be high-ranking lords, but in the eyes of the city lord, they are just some small nobles, and there is nothing to worry about.

"Huh!" Xingyao snorted coldly, and saw an afterimage circling around the guards, and then the guards were all thrown out, and all of them were unconscious!
Surprise flashed across the face of the city lord, who was still very arrogant at first, when he saw this situation, but it soon turned into a kind smile: "Ah, two young masters, what is the reason you came to me? Yes, disaster relief is Right? Well, let's talk now!"

The two children Xingyao and Hongqing have no scruples about these city lords. If they are soft, they will come hard immediately. In these small cities, there are basically no strong men who can fight against the big masters. Even if there are, and Xingyao Hongqing and his two great masters were far behind in comparison, so they quickly took down the city lords of several cities. They all agreed to provide disaster relief, but compared with the disaster-stricken people, the supplies they provided were far from enough of.

On the other hand, the children of Alex are running between major commercial firms in several towns, but they also encountered a problem, similar to Xingyao and others, almost no merchants are willing to take out rice for free For disaster relief, they are all ready to hoard.The other children were quite annoyed, and in the end they had to rely on force to solve the problem. When the children controlled the boss, the opposition disappeared immediately, followed by voices willing to provide disaster relief!
"Hey, fists are the most effective in this world!" Through this action, these children didn't have any negotiation skills, but they did have such a feeling.

Kong Haotian was also helpless, under such a premise that it was not formal at all and the time was tight, force was the most practical and also the most dreadful.

The city lords and big merchants are all ready to provide disaster relief, but as mentioned above, the materials they provided are really pitifully small, compared to the needs of hundreds of thousands of victims, it is simply negligible!

These city lords and big businessmen don't think that Kong Haotian will do anything to them at all, but the fact is true. Although they are profiteers, their behavior only shows the nature of businessmen, and they do not directly persecute others. .

"Master, these dignitaries, nobles, and wealthy businessmen have no intention of helping the disaster at all. If this continues, these victims will definitely not survive for a few days!" Several children worried.

Kong Haotian didn't react as strongly as they did: "Don't worry, a hero will definitely appear within three days!"

Kong Haotian, the hero, can definitely play the role, but he doesn't have this idea. He is not a nobleman and has no status. If he comes forward, the things here may be alleviated to a certain extent, but it will not solve the fundamental problem.

"Master, who is that hero?"

"It's not us anyway, just wait and see." Kong Haotian smiled mysteriously, leaving all this to the children to think about.

In the next few days, Kong Haotian and his party will only do some things within their ability. When they really can’t see it anymore, Kong Haotian will give a storage ring to an apprentice and ask them to go to various shops to "borrow" some food, but if this continues, it will be difficult. There is no way, everyone is looking forward to the appearance of the "hero" that Kong Haotian mentioned.

At night, in this place full of disaster victims, it is difficult for people to fall asleep. There are moans and cries everywhere, and everyone's mood is shrouded in darkness.In this environment, it seems that the only thing the people can do is to pray to the high gods as the priests said!

Kong Haotian was not with a few apprentices, but Yu Jian flew to the sky above Meijiang.Kong Haotian fell slowly and began to walk along this section of the river, because he had felt a faint energy fluctuation here since the daytime, so he had another guess in his heart, he just wanted to come here to prove his idea.

Kong Haotian searched for the source of the energy fluctuations in this way, and soon found several black shadows more than ten miles away!
The strength of these people is probably at the magister level, and they are discussing something by the river.What would a few magisters do when they wandered around Meijiang late at night?So Kong Haotian used the earth escape technique and came directly below them.
