Twenty miles outside the city, not far away, Lin Muyu flew over the wind and snow with Wei Qiu.

Before dawn, the north wind whistled and blew like a knife.

On the official road leading to Cangnan Province in Lanyan City, a group of imperial guards were already there, and Feng Jixing came earlier. After all, his imperial guard camp was closer to this place, and he lived alone, so he had no worries.

The torches were blown by the wind, and a convoy of trains was docked on the side of the road and shipped the war preparations with clumsy steam cars.

Lin Muyu landed in the air, and a group of soldiers around him saluted: "See Mr. Lin!"

"Brother Feng, what's going on?" Lin Muyu asked.

Feng Jixing covered Fengxue with his hands, turned around and pointed to the official road, saying, "Someone deliberately blocked the official road with a stone. Three cars overturned, and the accompanying cavalry team was killed by more than a dozen people. It is temporarily confirmed that hungry refugees nearby gathered to plunder military rations. Zhang Wei has led the guard to capture the initiator."

On the side, Star Gazing said respectfully: "It's cold and the ground is frozen, and people without surplus food will indeed gather together. Under the pressure of hunger, I hope that Lin Shuai will not start a massacre. After all, it's all people's lives..."

"I know, but even if I am hungry, I can't rob the imperial military rations. This is the material used to defend the country." Lin Muyu frowned and said, "I don't have to use the death penalty, but I have the imperial constitution waiting for them. How should I punish it? Leave it to the people of Congress to deal with it. Brother Feng, where did Zhang Wei take people to arrest people?"

"Just in a village five miles away, are you going too?"

"Yeah, go and have a look."

Lin Muyu looked at the supplies and vehicles that were resident in the wind and snow with a cold look, and said, "Wei Qiu, stay, take people to move the huge rocks away, keep the road open, and the food channels must be unobstructed, otherwise everyone will have to fight on hungry."

"Yes, Lin Shuai!"

Lin Muyu took the reins from a soldier in the Gentian camp, turned over and rode the war horse he didn't know. Then He Feng Jixing took dozens of iron cavalry and galloped into the forest path. No one cleaned it up for a long time, and the snow was about half a meter deep, and the speed of the war horses was greatly affected.

When a small village appeared in sight, it was already dawn, but the sun was not visible, because although the snow had become smaller, it still had not stopped.

Walking slowly along the path in the village, Lin Muyu looked at the houses on both sides, most of which were thatched houses, and the roofs were almost crushed by heavy snow. On the side of the road were frozen to death, and horse hoof marks could be seen on the snow. It should be traces left by Zhang Wei and others.

In the center of the village, Zhang Wei was found. The deputy commander of the imperial guards was holding a steel knife and had ordered nearly fifty civilians to be tied to a rope.

"See Mr. Lin, see Commander Feng!" Zhang Wei turned over and dismounted and saluted.

"No need to be polite." Lin Muyu raised her hand and said, "Old Zhang, get up, how is the situation?"

"You have already arrested Lin Shuai, and they confessed that they were the village chief took the lead in killing people. The cavalry captain we were responsible for transporting was stabbed to death by him with a fork that turned over."

"snort……"

Lin Muyu got off his horse and walked to the front of the village chief who was about 40 years old. However, he saw his eyes staring at him, and what emerged was not awe, but hatred.

"It's okay if you rob food and grass, why do you have to kill someone?" Lin Muyu asked.

The village chief's eyes were cold: "If they don't kill them, they will kill us."

"Even so, do you think what you are doing is really right?"

"In order to survive, what's wrong? Anyway, it's death. Why not let go and try it." A sharp light appeared in the village chief's eyes and said, "It seems that your official position is very big, who are you?"

"Lin Muyu."

"Ah... it's Lin Shuai, it's Imperial Marshal Lin Muyu..." A group of villagers with their hands tied up showed shock.

But the village chief's expression was still very ferocious, and he sneered: "Marshal of the Empire? I think it's just a gatekeeper dog."

"Rareless!" Zhang Wei raised his steel knife and said, "Don't you want to live?"

Lin Muyu raised her hand: "Don't do it, let him finish."

The village chief sneered and said, "It has been snowing heavily for more than a month. How many people in Lingbei Province have starved to death? But how many of you officials have opened warehouses and released grain? Look, the food in the car is enough to save how many people, but you have taken this food to war. You, Lin Muyu, would rather starve the people of the empire than save them, but you have used this food to fight. What else do you know besides fighting?"

Lin Muyu frowned and did not refute.

Feng Jixing raised his eyebrows and said, "So, is this the reason why you rob food and kill people?"

The village chief laughed: "Yes, this is my reason. Our emperor, our empress, would rather use this food to fight against the lives of the people. Is such an empress worthy of allegiance to the people?"

Lin Muyu said lightly: "Just scold me, don't desecrate Your Highness, otherwise no one can save you. Long ago, your Highness had issued a holy edict ordering the governments of various prefectures and counties to release food and help the people. I saw this holy edict with my own eyes, why don't you go to the county and city governments to ask for help?"

"help?"

The village chief smiled and said, "Those officials who only know their own enjoyment, who will really help us ordinary people? Besides, how much food can be stored in the local government? How can they save so many people? But if you stop going to war and give the food to the people to live through this winter, this will save the people in the world. This is what the wise king does."

Feng Jixing's eyes were cold, holding the handle of the Red Phoenix Sword in his hand, and he wanted to chop off the person in front of him with one knife.

But Lin Muyu was still patient and said, "Do you think this severe winter will really last only three months? Do you think that if we don't fight with Shang, they won't attack us? The massacre of the city in the sky has only been a few years, and you have forgotten all of it? Our opponent is jackal, and I must let the soldiers eat their stomachs to fight against the powerful enemy."

"I don't listen to these great principles!" The village chief scolded impatiently: "I only know that if I can't eat enough, I want to rebel. What you do is just reputation and status. All you want is the world and the country. You don't have the life or death of us people in your eyes. Don't pretend to be hypocritical. If you want to kill or cut, you can do whatever you want!"

"Clam!"

Lin Muyu stopped talking, Xuanyuan Sword was already in his hand, and the cold sword tip was pressed straight on the other party's neck. The coldness from the sword tip had made the village chief's neck stiff, and an endless sense of fear instantly spread throughout his body.

"You...you..."

"Do you really think I dare not kill you?" Lin Muyu's voice was extremely calm and said, "Yes, with my strength and status, I can indeed regard you as an ant in my eyes, but I don't. I am willing to put down my posture and talk to you on an equal footing. Why are you so aggressive? You keep saying, "You speak out, and people all over you, but what you are talking about is your own selfish desires. You cannot represent the people in the world, but you can only represent yourself. The sins you have committed are judged by the imperial constitution, and I am just a law enforcer. I will not override the Constitution, and you cannot override the Constitution."

After saying that, Lin Muyu seemed a little tired, put the sword back to the sheath and said, "Zhang Wei, take them to the Fire Que Se, and leave them to the Congress for disposal after the detailed inquiry."

"Yes, Lin Shuai!"

Feng Jixing walked forward, gently patted Lin Muyu on the shoulder, and said, "Ayu, don't be angry with yourself."

"I don't."

Lin Muyu looked at the footprints in the snow with clear eyes and said, "I have been used to it for so many times over the years. And he said something is reasonable. War is indeed based on trampling on human nature and equality."

At this moment, the village chief, whose hands were tied up, suddenly stopped and stopped leaving. He turned around and shouted: "Lin Muyu! Do you really have to fight? Do you know how many people will die? If you insist on your own, then you are just an executioner and a murderous devil. You are not a famous general or a hero who has been famous throughout the ages. You are just an executioner!"

Lin Muyu's eyes turned red and she said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this. What kind of person I am will naturally have history. Later generations will judge him. Zhang Wei, take them away immediately."

"Yes, Lin Shuai!"

Zhang Wei rode his horse and ran all the way with the village chief.

Feng Jixing pressed the handle of the knife and blew the fallen snow on his eyelashes with his hand, saying, "Ayu, do you want to... kill this fly on the road?"

"No."

Lin Muyu nodded and smiled: "Brother Feng, your bureaucratic style is a bit serious!"

“Is it serious?”

Feng Jixing grinned and said, "I am the commander of the imperial guards, commanding 100,000 soldiers, and the deputy commander of the empire. He holds military and political power. Shouldn't people be happy to be revenge when they live? Those who follow me will prosper and rebel against me will perish. Like this kid just now, he has died 100 million times in other novels."

Lin Muyu looked disgusted: "We agreed to establish the Congress, and the order was also formulated by us. Just abide by the rules we set by ourselves, otherwise we will become a bad guy. As for what this person said, I don't care at all. He doesn't know too much, so he will speak like this without knowing what he is."

"Oh? How do you say it?"

"For example, unifying the Shattered Ding Realm and the Tianji Continent and allowing two continents to enter peaceful rule is impossible, so he is unwilling to do other people. Some things must be done by someone, and only jealousy and hatred are left in his heart. This is a villain's mentality, so why should I care about him?"

Feng Jixing couldn't help but smile: "Ayu, your mood is indeed not comparable to ordinary people. It depends on your radiant face. Is it... Last night, hehehe..."

"Damn, what do you mean by hehehe?"

"You understand!"

"I won't argue with you anymore, let's go back to the imperial capital and continue to urge all prefectures and counties to release grain and rescue disasters. I don't believe that the men will really ignore the lives and death of the people and continue to store grain."
