Chen Xian had heard gossip of female refugees once or twice. When she heard them three sentences, Qin Ruliang and Su Zhe were always depressed and unhappy, she immediately cleared the clouds and fog to see the bright moon.

Later, very few female refugees went to Su Zhe for treatment, and they basically came to Chen Xian.

After a few days outside the city, the city guard of the city knew that Princess Jingxian was outside the city and the refugees outside the city were temporarily placed properly.

The city guard was afraid that the refugees would forcibly rush into the city, so he was reluctant to open the city gate.

But he really couldn't keep Princess Jingxian outside the city all the time.

Moreover, there were eight hundred miles in the capital who sent the imperial edict in an urgent manner, requiring Princess Jingxian to return to Beijing immediately.

Seeing that the order outside the city finally settled down, the city guard with a fat head and a big ear and a greasy face appeared on the city tower, looking down at the refugees below, as well as Chen Xian and the others.

When the refugees saw the city guard, they were immediately hated and helpless, and their emotions suddenly became excited, and they condemned each other in waves, asking the city guard to open the city gate immediately.

Cheng Shou said, "I know everyone is in a difficult situation, but there are many people in my city. If you let you in, what will happen to the people in the city?"

The refugee yelled indignantly: "It is you, a corrupt official, who has enough pockets and repaired the dam like to ruin the dam, which has allowed the flood to destroy the dam and make everyone homeless!"

"Rareless! Natural disasters and floods are not something that can be resisted by humans?! Don't be here to deceive the public!"

The city guard cursed a few times, then immediately changed the subject and said, "Where is Princess Jingxian?"

Chen Xian stood at the head of the refugee and said, "What advice does Lord Chengshou have?"

Cheng Shou looked down and found the fair-skinned and slim woman. He calmed down a little and said, "I can open the city gate and welcome Princess Jingxian into the city, but no one else can."

Chen Xian said with a funny look: "Who do the others refer to?"

She pointed to the people around her and said, "This is the general of the Great Chu, the envoy of the imperial imperial sect, and the deputy envoy. These are the personal soldiers accompanying him. What the lord means is that they cannot even enter?"

Cheng Shou listened to Chen Xian's title. Even if he had no interaction with these people in the court in advance, he would not be able to afford to offend any of them except those personal soldiers.

Cheng Shun said: "Of course the others refer to these refugees. Everyone who walks with the princess can enter the city smoothly."

As soon as these words were spoken, the refugees certainly refused.

They could not just watch Princess Jingxian enter the city. As long as Princess Jingxian leaves, the city guard will not let them enter the city.

Then they will still have to freeze to death and starve to death.

The refugees cursed passionately under the city: "You dog official who cares about human life! Sooner or later, you will be punished by God!"

Unexpectedly, the city guards were ready, just as the refugees kept scolding each other, rows of archers appeared on the city tower, with arrows on the strings, ready and archers could be shot at any time.

Cheng Shou said: "Whoever dares to slander my official again, don't blame me for ordering arrows!"

Suddenly, the refugees were frightened and their curses calmed down.

Chen Xian narrowed her eyes, looked up at the satisfied city guard on the city tower, and said, "Sir, you are so majestic."

Cheng Shou said: "Princess Jingxian doesn't know anything. The poor mountains and rivers are out of troubled people. In extraordinary times, they can only be cured by extraordinary means."

The refugees under the city dare not speak out.

Chen Xian's eyes were dark and said, "Don't you care about them. Do you want to let them die outside the city?"

Cheng Shou said: "The city can accommodate only a limited number of people. At the moment when Zhengfeng is famine, the people in the city are still unable to take care of themselves. How can they add more people? Please forgive Princess Jingxian. The officials are helpless."

"What a helpless person." Chen Xian said, "But I know in the capital that Jiangnan is a prosperous and fertile place, with countless merchants and tourists, and there are many inns in the city like mushrooms after the rain. Since it is a famine, I believe there are no guests in the inn, and it is empty. It is better to use it to settle these refugees and give them a shelter from the wind and rain, which is also a merit."

The city guard changed his face and said, "There is no extra land. Prince Jingxian doesn't believe it. Just come to the city to see it. Now there are so many archers. Princess Jingxian and the general envoys come to the city, so they dare not act rashly. Otherwise, after passing through this village, there will be no store."

The refugees had no choice but to guard the city, so they knelt down and begged Chen Xian, crying: "Princess Jingxian, please don't leave us behind! After you enter the city, this dog official will not care about us even more and will let us all die here! Please take us into the city with you!"

Cheng Shou said, "If you dare to do something randomly, I can shoot arrows at any time. Princess Jingxian doesn't need to put herself in danger for these unruly people. Princess should think carefully. There is a city guard on duty on the city tower. When will the princess figure it out, let the city guard notify the officials and come to welcome the princess again."

After saying that, the city guard did not delay for a moment, so he hurriedly got off the city tower and left.

The archers on the city tower also slowly retreated.

He You said angrily: "It seems that this city guard is really a refugee who will not be allowed to be put in. What should we do now?"

Qin Ruliang said, "You can pretend to agree to enter the city. When the city gate is opened, you can find a way to control the archers on the city tower, so that you can lead the refugees into the city in one fell swoop."

Chen Xian looked at him and asked, "What about after entering the city? Do you still have to continue to fight against the officials and people in the city? This is not a war, and you cannot occupy it in one fell swoop, so you can only slowly. Only by letting the officials and people in the city really accept them can these refugees not be in dire straits after we leave."

Su Zhe, who had not spoken, said: "Axian is right."

He You looked at Su Zhe and asked, "Is there any good way for the Grand Secretary?"

Su Zhe thought, "Let's go into the city tomorrow."

Everyone was stunned.

Chen Xian turned his head first and left without looking back: "If you want to enter the city, you can go in by yourself. You can leave them alone, but I can't."

At night, Chen Xian got into the carriage early, but she couldn't sleep.

She knew that Su Zhe could not have been afraid of death and went to the city, but she still imagined him as a bad person.

She was not only hurting him, but also making it difficult for her to live.

She did not allow others to humiliate him or belittle him, but she was doing so herself.

I kept feeling awkward, entangled, and thinking about it repeatedly, feeling distressed and being cold. Chen Xian didn't know why she became like this now.

Later, Chen Xian noticed someone outside the carriage window.

She sat up alertly, and was about to lift the curtain to see what happened, but suddenly the clear and light voice sounded outside the window: "Axian, are you asleep?"
