Chapter 168: Save the porridge

In the end, Dongfang Xia Lan couldn't bear to leave Gu Du, handed the child to his wife, and followed Gu Du back to Suxian Mountain.

Di Qiuhan asked, "Son-in-law, what should I do now?"

Gu Du asked back: "What's the situation in Lingyu County?"

Di Qiuhan replied: "The rice from each family has been sold for a hundred dollars, but the people have no money to buy rice. I don't know what my son-in-law has to do, so we have to shut down our grain business."

Gu Du said: "Okay, set up five porridge shops to provide disaster relief, and at the same time, people were spread out to inform refugees everywhere. Grain merchants in Lingyu County are placing porridge."

Di Qiuhan looked at Gu Du with confusion, and Gu Du said, "I want to gather all the refugees to Lingyu County. The hungry people gather together are even more terrifying than the rebels."

Di Qiuhan suddenly realized, clasped his fists and replied, "Let's do it now!"

Di Qiuhan went out, and Dongfang Xia Lan asked Gu Du: "So what if you make trouble?"

Gu Du replied: "In Lingyu County, it will be difficult to transport military rations to Sunset Pass. Moreover, he will send troops to quell the chaos. After two or three months, people will be in chaos, and the emperor can swore to go south."

The next day, the five porridge shops caught fire and cooked porridge in a large pot, two meals a day, regardless of gender, age and young. Each meal was one large spoonful for each meal. They would not be full, but they would definitely not starve to death.

Dongfang Xia Lan excitedly pulled Gu Du and said, "Let's go to Lingyu County to have a look!"

But Gu Du said with a gloomy face: "Don't go, you can't see such a scene."

Dongfang Xia Lan blinked and Gu Du said, "I am not doing good, I am doing evil. In order to avenge Jin Lan and her son, and to be able to unify the world by the country, I will kill tens of thousands of old, young, women and children."

Dongfang Xia Lan threw herself into his arms, looked at him with a raised face and said, "Don't say that, in war, either they die, or we die, their death is better than our death. Besides, the Ling Kingdom has always killed the people of Zeguo. You are just seeking justice for the people of Zeguo."

Gu Du smiled, hugged her tightly and said, "There is no justice in the world, only the strong will survive."

Other grain shops in Lingyu County stopped working, so they made an appointment to come to Wei Liuqing together and said, "What does this mean by shopkeeper Wei? I'm afraid I haven't even sold a bucket of rice since you opened the business. Your rice price is always one cent higher than ours. But now you have such a good market, but you set up a porridge shop to store porridge. Where are you singing this?"

Wei Liuqing replied in a muffled voice: "People are almost starving, so how can they have money to buy rice? I want a good reputation, and maybe the government can praise me."

Everyone sneered, and someone said, "It turns out that Manager Wei has this plan. So what kind of food business do you have to run? How good is it to donate your fame and fortune directly?"

Wei Liuqing answered honestly: "I donated it, but I didn't find the right way, and I spent money."

Someone said in a bad tone: "Then you can't give up the porridge either. If you give up the porridge like this, how can we do business?"

Wei Liuqing replied in a quiet voice: "Mi is mine, I am willing."

"Hey? What are you talking about?" Everyone was furious.

But the frying pot is useless, so the porridge is still there, and no one dares to smash the porridge shop, because it is not only a matter of anger among the public, but also offends the government.

The disciples of Jueling Sect scattered everywhere. In order to conceal their identity, they pretended to be refugees. They spread messages from all over the place that there was a Wei Shanren in Lingyu County who was the shopkeeper of the grain store and was placing porridge to provide disaster relief. They also said that Wei Shanren is a great cause and his family's rice is enough for the whole country to eat.

Countless refugees rushed to Lingyu County, but many people could not walk to Lingyu County at all. The official roads were hungry and cried endlessly.

Every time Gu Du reported, he asked Dongfang Xia Lan to avoid it. In this chaotic world, her purity and kindness were extremely precious. She could go to the battlefield with him, but she would never fall into the purgatory of the world.

Although Dongfang Xia Lan did not listen to the newspapers, she would occasionally hear the disciples talking about it. She knew some of the current tragic situation in the Ling Kingdom, and at the same time she realized her mother's intention. Her mother foresaw what Gu Du would do, so she wanted to use the child as an excuse to keep her in Danyuan Mountain.

Maybe my mother was afraid that she could not stand Gu Du doing such a thing, so she became resentful to Gu Du? In fact, it was really unnecessary. Although she had never experienced anything, she understood the simplest truth. Since she chose to marry Gu Du, she would have decided to Gu Du in this life. Even if he was unforgivable, she would have no regrets or resentment.

Besides, the world's conquests only ask about winning or losing, regardless of right or wrong.

At night, more than ten female disciples invited Duan Yuechan to a secluded place, and someone whispered: "Senior Sister Duan, is it too harmful to do this?"

Duan Yuechan replied: "This is the case in the world. You only see that the Ling Kingdom is now tragic, but you don't know how Ling Kingdom treated Ze Kingdom in the past. The way of heaven is good for reincarnation, and great chaos can achieve great governance."

Another whispered: "We are worried about the younger sister and the son-in-law doing evil deeds. If he suffers retribution, wouldn't the younger sister suffer with him?"

Someone else whispered: "Yes, isn't my son-in-law's deceased wife just being retribution?"

"Rareless!" Duan Yuechan scolded: "My son-in-law is the great soul-controlling master of Zeguo. He is in charge of military power. Is it a bad karma to kill enemies for the country? Whoever dares to gossip, I will pull out her tongue!"

Everyone was silent for a moment, and someone said, "Of course there is nothing wrong with the battle on the battlefield, but now it is not the battle on the battlefield."

Duan Yuechan said: "Estors attacked the plan, even if there are no swords and weapons, they are also conquering. Shut up and follow the orders!"

Ten days after shelter, tens of thousands of refugees gathered. The county magistrate of Lingyu County, Liu Qi, panicked and ordered the garrison to guard the city gate strictly and not allow refugees to enter the city. However, the refugees still rushed to Lingyu County. Within a month, tens of thousands of people gathered and surrounded the city gate and cried.

The disciples of Jueling Sect began to stir up their anger and shouted in pieces: "There is food in the city! They just want to starve us to death!"

"We are a lot of people and we rushed into the city and grab food!"

"Anyway, it's all dead, let's fight them!"

The refugees rushed towards the city gate, mixed with the crying and screams of the trampled tramplers.

The captain on the top of the city panicked and shouted loudly: "Get back! Go back! If you don't retreat, you will shoot an arrow!"

The disciples of Jueling Sect hid in the crowd and shouted: "Run! If you break through the city gate, you will have something to eat!"

People are like tides, and even if someone wants to retreat, there is no way out.

The captain ordered: "Arrow ready...to release!"

Arrows on the top of the city were like rain, and countless refugees were caught in the arrows, but no one fell down because people were crowded with people, and there was no room for them to fall down.

The disciples of Jueling Sect were still shouting: "Raise! They don't treat us as human beings! They want to kill us all! Anyway, they are all dead! Rush into the city! Fight with them!"

Gu Du stood at a high place, silently looking at the city gate. Everything was as he expected. Water could carry boats and also overturn the boats. Lingyu County would surely become a huge Shura field.
