In the twelfth lunar month, the cold wind in the north was mixed with sand and stones, sweeping overwhelmingly, not only could it cut people's faces into pain, but it was like a nightmare for those refugees who were short of clothing and food.

Since the brutal but able to control the situation, the Northern Yan Emperor died at the city of Bazhou, the powerful generals have been respectful and local tycoons have fought for trouble. The third prince, who once made the crown prince, has disappeared again after the city of Nanjing was destroyed. Some say he is dead, and some say he escapes from the monks. But no matter what, the entire Northern Yan has lost an orthodox heir after all.

Even if some people claim that Emperor Beiyan passed the throne to his daughter Princess Yue before his death, under the chaotic situation, no one believed it or was unwilling to believe it. What's more, the princess of Yue has never come back since she was ordered by her brother, the third prince, to negotiate with Nanwu, and Nanwu never took advantage of the opportunity to send her back to China to preside over the overall situation. This rumor naturally lost the market.

Nowadays, those refugees who fled due to war or famine live under the walls of the outer city of Shangjing, hoping to hide in the city when they open the city gate. However, every day, they see that their companions try to break through the city gate, but few succeed, but many casualties are killed and injured. They come down day after day, and I don’t know how many people gradually lose their glory in their eyes, and the only thing left is numbness and despair.

Who would have thought that the world would be so chaotic? Although they finally escaped to Shangjing, they could not enter the city gate and had little food and clothing. Every day, people would die of cold and starvation. If it weren't for the people in Shangjing that there were too many deaths, they might not even provide the only little food and broken quilts!

The one who occupied Shangjing was a princess who survived when Xiao Qingqing was in charge of the overall situation. His wife, a princess who claimed to be golden branches and jade leaves, had long died. This princess is not like the princess Xiao Changgong, who was sighing for the bad luck in Lanling, who was outstanding in ability, and was appreciated by the emperor, and recommended by Xiao Jingxian. There was even a prince of Jin who is now a great tycoon. He was just a mediocre person who could occupy Shangjing, purely because of... good luck!

At that time, Xiao Qingqing killed countless powerful people, but he survived. The city defense camp was so intimidated that it was as if it were a rabbit that he did not dare to move. Later, when Xiao Qingqing suddenly disappeared, the prince-in-law, who had once not taken it seriously, suddenly rose up and bribed several small officers of the city defense camp to kill the governor, took the opportunity to take the lead, and at the same time promised the city defense army to loot the big family.

Now in Shangjing City, there are many high-ranking families who have been killed by Xiao Qingqing and lost their masters, and there are many big-headed soldiers who have escaped from the vanguard of the vanguard. However, many wealthy families who have escaped under the butcher knife of the vanguard have been killed by the city defense army again. The soldiers who were not valued in the past are now all maids and concubines, with a wealthy fortune.

It was precisely because of the successful rebellion that the prince-in-law treated the capital as an iron bucket, and checked in and out in great detail. He spent a lot of money on the guards, and he treated the refugees as plagues, and never allowed people to enter the city. If he hadn't been worried about arousing other surrounding forces to spy on them, he would have wished to spread the troops and kill all the people.

However, after thinking about this, this prince-in-law is not the dandy and powerful man with fat hearts and a fat mind. He has been neglected for many years, but he has some luck and a little brain. Therefore, he often sends his confidant manager to go out of the city with his fully armed guards, selecting strong men from the refugees who have no relatives and no reason to enter the city, so naturally, to enrich his guard team.

Obviously, he did not have that much trust in the city defense officers who had finally won over a lot of money and instigated the killing of the original city defense battalion commander. However, he did not know whether he was thinking or listening to the advice of advisers. There were very few people who chose it. For more than a month, he only picked seventy or eighty people, which naturally had not aroused the vigilance of the small gang of officers in the city defense battalion.

At this moment, when countless refugees were sitting or lying down, seemingly listless, but in fact waiting for another day of hope or disappointment to come, they heard a creaking sound coming from the city gate again. It was clearly the city gate that had been opened. This is the only door open to the outside world in Shangjing City, with tight guards, but even so, there were still many people who thought they were strong and quietly got up.

In those pairs of eyes, there was a green light like a wolves. Some people hoped to sneak in with the moment the city gate opened, while others held their heads up, hoping to be chosen by someone who came out to pick people.

However, when the city gate opened wide, a group of cavalry swept out like a whirlwind, regardless of the speed of lightning. The horse flew over and ran away the first few refugees who rushed towards the city gate. Seeing the blood, a large number of people laughed loudly, followed by a group of brightly-clad guards behind him surrounded the middle-aged man wearing heavy fur and slowly following.

Seeing that the refugees on both sides were dull and scared, and few people knew how to be well-behaved, the princess Chang'an could not help but curse the bad luck. His wife, Princess Chang'an, was an imperial daughter who was unpopular, and so he was not as good as those who had received the great vassal state. Naturally, he was always depressed and unsuccessful.

At this moment, thinking of Xiao Changgong, who was said to have vomited blood when he returned to the country with his adopted son Xiao Rong after the death of Emperor Beiyan, he couldn't help but feel a little excited, thinking that he had just encountered a good opportunity before, and now that he took advantage of the situation, he would never lose to Xiao Changgong!

Therefore, he endured the disgust in his heart, raised his chin slightly, and said proudly: "I want to hunt today. As long as I can follow my husband and his group to the hunting ground and not fall behind, I will be very kind and take you into the mansion!"

After saying this, he saw the refugees around him stir up for a moment. He was proud and laughed loudly, and waved his whip hard and left under the crowd of many followers. The cavalrymen who had just galloped out of the city gate saw that there were refugees chasing him regardless of the care, and couldn't help but point and talk and laugh.

"Is this prince-consort really a ruthless man? I don't know how many people he had taken into the mansion in the past!"

"If it weren't for the fact that people were no different from those old officials and nobles, several military leaders would have pulled people off..."

"What can these untouchables do? How about it? Today we will compare how we use humans as our prey?"

The cavalrymen were both lower-class people at the time, but now they are arrogant and say strange words about the princess and princesses without anyone else. They don’t even regard refugees as human beings, and they are extremely unscrupulous.

But just as they were talking and laughing, they heard a few loud roars, and then, without any response, they fell heavily from the horse's back. They were shocked and angry when they were shot at the critical moment, but they tried their best but caught a few refugees with cold eyes at the last moment of their death.

At the same time, the unorganized refugees who were originally trying to break the card at the city gate suddenly became extremely orderly. When they suddenly pulled out short weapons with bare hands, the officers and soldiers of the city defense camp who used refugees to break the card at the city gate every day as fun or hunting were immediately in panic.

Although they are good at killing ordinary people, they have never been on the battlefield in their lives and can only attack people who have no ability to resist. When they encounter real hard ideas, they are in a difficult position.

Therefore, the other refugees who were watching saw that the guards at the city gate were killed by dozens of people and cried to their parents. Before they knew it, the only trace of fear left faded. Some people picked up the wooden sticks they had originally defended, some people picked up the shoulder poles, and some people even rolled up their sleeves. Some people shouted like a fierce voice, and for a moment, they responded one after another, and countless people flocked to the city gate.

When the only open city gate in Shangjing finally fell, the uninformed princess Chang'an princess and princesses had already stopped slowly on the road. Even though she was wearing heavy fur, in this cold and cold season, she still couldn't stand the cold wind that desperately penetrated her neck. However, he found a very good reason for himself.

If he didn't let the four-legged horse stop, how could the two-legged refugees in the back catch up? If they couldn't catch up, wouldn't this method of choosing a dead man have been used in vain?

He waited for a long time, and then he found that the staggering refugees appeared in his sight. At first glance, he knew that someone might fall down in the next moment and never get up again.

He smiled and said with a condescending malicious intention: "There are still several miles to the hunting ground. If you can't keep up, my prince-in-law will not be able to open the door..."

At this moment, some of the dozens of refugees who followed him suddenly shouted: "If I really follow the hunting ground, can the prince consort really take me and my family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the princess and princess of Chang'an suddenly changed his expression. He shouted fiercely, and the personal soldiers beside him immediately raised their hand and shot them with an arrow. In an instant, a scream came from the crowd, followed by a small commotion.

"I am merciful and promised to join the mansion to follow the hunting grounds, not including those useless waste who can only eat! If there are still people who dare to talk nonsense, then that one just happened!"

Seeing that after he said this, the refugees not far away were silent for a moment, the princess and princesses of Chang'an were naturally very satisfied. In his opinion, the bottomless kindness would only harm him in such a chaotic world, and establishing power is more important than establishing virtue. But the next moment, he thought that he had shocked everyone, but heard a sneer.

"It's simply a delusion to even seek a confidant to be the king!"

The moment he heard this sound, the first reaction of the princess Chang'an princess was not anger, but panic, because he vaguely discovered that he seemed to have heard this sound somewhere! However, he did not think carefully about the time to recall, because among the refugees who were as embarrassed as wild dogs just now, more than a dozen figures suddenly emerged.

Although the head was covered in mud and ragged clothes, when the trained cold light cut a personal soldier who came forward to stop him directly, the princess and princesses of Chang'an felt a cold air spread from the tailbone in an instant, and she wouldn't even move.

Seeing those who rushed up dealing with their accompanying guards like chopping melons and vegetables, he finally burst out two words from his teeth: "Xiao...rong..."

When those real refugees heard these two words, most of them did not react much. However, the guards who were terrified and experiencing this massacre were not unfamiliar with the name. As some people knelt on the ground and held their heads in their hands to show their surrender, many people knew they were defeated and hurriedly followed suit, and some even started shouting.

"Your Highness King Jin, please spare your life! We are all forced to rebel by this guy Xiao Lin!"

The princess and princess of Chang'an almost got angry to death by these words. However, when he saw the indifferent-looking young man walking forward with a sword, even though he was on the horse and condescending, the other party was just hiking, but he still felt a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart.

He couldn't help but ride a horse and wanted to retreat, but the mount was not in control at all, so when the boy came in front of him, he still stayed in the distance and couldn't move: "Xiao...Xiao Rong, why are you... here?"

Zhen Rong glanced at the prince-consort who was wearing gorgeous clothes and heavy fur, and suddenly waved his sword. In an instant, the prince-consort who was just proud of the Chang'an princess fell to the ground, holding her arms and screaming like a pig. Faced with this situation, Zhen Rong was not moved at all, letting the blood at the tip of the sword fall on the mud drop by drop.

"If I don't come, I'll probably become a dead city when I go to the capital. I'm afraid that people who die of starvation will not even count. Now I've just scratched your arm. When you treat the people as untouchables, you don't have a little pity because of their screams?"

It was not until this time that the horrified refugees realized who Xiao Rong was... Isn't it the King of Jin who occupied a large area of ​​territory in the southeast, claimed to have a population of 100,000, and among the many powerful people, it is said that the most popular among the people?

Unlike the demon king in the past, the legend of the King of Jin is that Nan Wu is providing food and fodder behind his back, which is very popular. Therefore, many generals with self-respecting troops and powerful men joined forces to pull a blockade line, strictly prohibiting refugees and the people from surrendering, otherwise they would have traveled thousands of miles long ago!

I don’t know who took the lead, but the refugees couldn’t help but kneel down on the ground, and some even cried with joy... As for the princess and princesses on the ground, who were still wailing and screaming like a clown, no one paid attention to it anymore, even the personal soldiers who were his closest trust.

Many people's eyes fell on Zhen Rong. Even though the boy was dressed in rags at this time, he looked exactly like an ordinary refugee boy.

Zhen Rong, who was used to this kind of sight, narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and looked towards the direction of the capital. After a moment, he said word by word: "From today, this capital will no longer be a one-man show for some people! Those who kill people will die, those who hurt others will be punished, and those who steal will be punished. Since there is no kingly law and no law in this messy world, then let's make another one again!"

Liu Bang's three rules were used now... However, like the seemingly kind Emperor Gaozu of Han, he is not clean now. The man who just died of starvation at the city gate and those who were tortured and killed did not have to die... However, his power is limited and he cannot save everyone...

Three years after the sudden death of Emperor Beiyan, King Xiao Rong of Jin entered Shangjing City, beheaded the princess Chang'an princess and the city defense camp generals, recruited 6,000 refugees to serve as an army, called Ping'an army, and wanted to achieve peace in the world.
