75|Close the city gates to Yongan.
by Jessie@AFNCCMu Qi said, “Your Highness, why have you been gone for so many days?”
Xie Ren was stunned and said, “Have I been away for a long time?”
Going to and fro, up and down the sky and earth, driving up the lake, boarding the clouds and turning into rain, day and night, has already consumed many hours and days, but he is not aware of it. Mu Qing said: “It’s been a few days! The prayers of the believers on this side of the Prince’s Palace have piled up into a mountain.”
At this time, Xie Ren felt that the rain was weak, and reached out her hand, saying, “Didn’t I explain, letting you first deal with the important ones?”
Mu情道:”We naturally dealt with what we can handle, but …… there are still a lot of prayers, all of which we are not qualified to cross over and do it on our behalf. That’s why I let your highness before you don’t press too long, come back quickly.”
After he finished speaking, the rain stopped. This rain lasted for a shorter period of time than Xie Ren had imagined, and he couldn’t help but feel grave. The dark clouds in mid-air slightly dispersed, and a bamboo and green colored bucket hat fell down, Xie Ren stretched out his hands and took it, saying, “But look at this situation, I can’t get out of my own way.”
Mu Qi frowned, “Your Highness, you borrowed the Rainmaker’s magic treasure? Where did you bring this water from?”
Xie Ren said, “Southern Rainmaker Country.”
Mu Yi said, “That far? How much mana does it take to move it once? Moreover, each rainfall is small in scope and not long-lasting, how can you cope with the prayers of the followers of the Crown Prince’s Palace if you keep on consuming it like this?”
Without him having to say it, Xie Ren knew it well. He was the God of Martial Arts, and the followers of the Prince’s Palace were the foundation of his Palace and the source of his magic power. This move was tantamount to sacrificing one’s roots for another, and if he wasn’t careful, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t be able to take care of either end, but other than that, what else could he do?
Xie Ren said, “I know. But if this continues, if there is an outbreak of turmoil on Yongan’s side, sooner or later the Crown Prince’s Palace will also be affected.”
But Muoi said, “It’s already about to explode!”
Xie Ren was shocked, “What?”
After listening to Mu Yi’s briefing, he quickly returned to Xian Le Royal City. When he arrived at Shenwu Street, he happened to meet a group of royal soldiers, heavily armed, holding sharp weapons, escorting a group of raggedly dressed men with shackles on their heads and hands. Both sides of the street were filled with people, all of their faces furious. Feng Xin, with his black bow in hand, was standing by, as if to prevent the people on both sides from rioting. Xie Ren shouted: “Feng Xin! Who are these people? What is their offense? Where are they going?”
Feng Xin heard his voice and stepped in with large strides, saying, “Your Highness! These are all Yongan people.”
There were dozens of hans in that column, all tall, thin and slightly dark-skinned. The soldiers escorting them were followed by a few old men, as well as some terrified women and children. Xie Ren said, “Are they all behind here too?”
Muoi said, “All of them.”
It turned out that in the past few months there had been a severe drought in Yongan, and the people who had originally settled in Yongan had fled to the east one after another. It wasn’t obvious when there were dozens of groups, but before and after, more than five hundred people had come so far. These five hundred people gathered together, the black head, that is very considerable.
This group of Yongan people, who were unfamiliar with the world and had nothing, and who spoke in a foreign accent that was exposed as soon as they opened their mouths, came to an unfamiliar and prosperous city, and naturally had to embrace each other to keep themselves warm, so they looked everywhere in the Imperial City of Immortal Bliss, and finally found a piece of green land that was uninhabited, and, overjoyed, they set up shacks here as a place to rest their feet.
Coincidentally, although this green area is indeed uninhabited, it is a piece of white moonlight in the hearts of the people of the Imperial City. Xianle people are used to enjoying and appreciating, and the people in the Imperial City are especially fond of it. Many people go to that green area to walk, dance, practice sword, recite poems, paintings, and gatherings when they have nothing to do. Yongan, on the other hand, is located in the west of Xianle, the land is barren and poor, the people’s temperament and customs are also very different from the east of Xianle, compared to them, the people of the Imperial City tend to be more aware of their own side of the orthodox “Xianle people”. Now, the former elegant place is occupied by such a large group of refugees, all day long boiling medicine, mourning, laundry, fire, stinking smell of sweat and leftovers, so that many of the people in the vicinity can not stand, many complaints.
Several of the leading elderly Yongan is the heart of the elderly understand, would like to move elsewhere, but the Imperial City was originally populous, where to move are crowded with people, can not find other places can be placed so many people, not to mention that the more than 500 people in the old, weak, sick and injured women and children, should not be moved frequently, so they have to compensate for the careful, cheeky, relying on the here do not go. Although the people of the Imperial City are dissatisfied, but after all, the same people of a country, both in distress, for the time being, also endured.
Hearing this, the column of soldiers escorted dozens of Yongan men to the entrance of the food market and ordered, “Kneel down!”
Each of those Yongan men’s faces were unconvinced, but with the knife on their necks, they had to kneel even if they didn’t. The people of the Imperial City who were onlookers saw them unevenly kneeling, some sighed, some relieved. Xie Ren said, “According to you, it’s both compartments that are enduring, so what’s going on here today?”
Feng Xin and Mu Qing had not yet replied, when a woman in the crowd cried out, “You bunch of barbaric thieves! Stealing chickens and dogs and beating my husband to such an extent that he can’t even crawl up, if anything happens to him, I will fight with you!”
Several people on the side were busy consoling her, while others accused, “You don’t know how to be at peace when you’ve uprooted to the land of a bystander!”
“Yeah, when you get to someone’s house, you’re half-assing it and stealing!”
A young man wearing a yoke became impatient and argued, “I told you that we didn’t steal it at all! We weren’t the ones who started it! Besides, someone on our side was also injured ……” An old man stopped, “Stop it!”
The young man angrily shut his mouth. Feng Xin said, “There is a person in the Imperial City lost a dog, because there were Yongan children who were hungry and stole people’s ducks to cook and eat, so they suspected that this time they were also captured by Yongan people and burned and ate, and they ran over to their side to ask, and when they disagreed, they fought.”
Xie Ren only found it incomprehensible: “Just because of a dog, making such a big fuss and arresting so many people?”
Feng Xin said, “Yes, just because of a dog, it made such a big fuss. Both sides have endured for a long time, small things have become big things. Both sides are betting that it was the other side that started the fight, it was the other side’s not, messed up a fight, somehow the bigger the fight got.”
A soldier at the head of the group said, “Gathering a crowd to cause trouble will be severely punished! Put on shackles and show them to the public, and do not repeat the offense!” After saying this, he retreated, and in the next moment, many people began to throw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at this group of Yongan men. A few of the older men bowed to the surroundings and said, “I’m sorry, everyone, I’m sorry.” “Please have mercy, have mercy.”
Although Xie Ren found it petty and ridiculous, he could probably understand it and said, “So did they steal it or not? Did the dog find it?”
Feng Xin shook his head and said, “Then who knows. Once the bone scraps are dumped after eating, who can find them? But looking at the look, I don’t think it’s like they stole it.”
However, the imperial city soldiers, the ruling is certainly biased in favor of the people of the imperial city, regardless of steal or not steal, fight, that is certainly Yongan people lose. Especially the imperial city men love to have fun, not as good as Yongan men can fight, think this time is beaten by the outsiders very bad, lose face, the beam is also a big knot. Xie Ren shook his head, swept a glance, suddenly found that this row of Yongan men, in the middle of a low head of youth, very familiar, it is that the grove buried children of youth Lang Ying.
Xie Ren was immediately stunned. At this time, someone nearby complained, “Why do I feel that there are more and more Yongan people in the Imperial City in the past few months, and today they even dared to beat up people.”
“They’re not all coming over, are they?”
A merchant-looking man waved his hands about and said, “His Majesty the Lord of the Land will not allow it! My house was stolen by the Yongan people just a few days ago, if they all come over, what’s going to happen?”
Upon hearing this, Lang Ying, who had been hanging his head and letting the leaves split his face, suddenly raised his head and said, “Did you see that.”
The merchant, not realizing that the man had actually approached him, replied smoothly, “What?”
Lang Ying said, “Did you see with your own eyes that the Yongan people stole from your house?”
“……” the merchant said, “I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but it was all fine before, and it was only since you came that it was suddenly stolen, and didn’t it have anything to do with you at all?”
Lang Ying nodded and said, “So it is. I get it. Before we came, the ones who stole were all of you, and after we came, the ones who stole were all of us ……”
Before the words fell, a rotten persimmon flew in a whirlwind and smashed on the side of his mouth, as if vomiting a large flower of blood. The merchant poofed out a laugh, Lang Ying’s gaze was indifferent, closed his mouth and did not say anything.
Xie Ren removed the sharp stones that were thrown at them, so that these Yongan youths would not have their heads broken and bloodied. This show of publicity has been carried out until the evening, the onlookers gradually dispersed, the soldiers feel enough, and then arrogantly open the yoke, warning some not to cause trouble in the future, or will not be lightly forgiven. Several older people have been waisted and nodded to compensate for the smiling face, to ensure that they will not do it again, Lang Ying, but the expression of calm, self-concerned and walked away. Xie Ren saw him walking alone, see the right time, flashed out from behind the tree, blocked his way.
As soon as he flashed out, the youth first had a stern gaze, and in a flash, seemed to be about to strike out and grab him by the throat. After seeing the visitor in the flash of lightning, he withdrew the hand that had not yet explored out and said, “It’s you.”
Xie Ren assumed the very form of that little Taoist priest. He was slightly startled by Lang Ying’s hand that didn’t probe out just now, and thought, “This person’s body is a bit powerful.” He said, “I gave you that bead, why don’t you take it back to Yongan?”
Lang Ying looked at him and said, “My son is here. I am also here.”
After a pause, he took out the coral bead from his belt and said, “Do you want this back? Here.”
On the hand that he handed the beads over, there were still bruises from wearing the shackles. After a moment of silence, Xie Ren did not take it and said, “Go back. It’s raining in Lang’erwan today.”
He pointed to the sky and said, “Tomorrow! It will rain again. I promise, it will.”
Lang Ying, however, shook his head and said, “Whether it rains or not, there’s no going back.”
Looking at his departing back, Xie Ren was stupefied for a moment, only feeling annoyed infinitely.
Once upon a time when he didn’t ascend, it seemed like nothing bothered him. Whatever he wanted to do, he could make it. Who knew that after ascension, it was as if all of a sudden, he was surrounded by endless troubles. There were other people’s troubles as well as his own. To do something, but it was so difficult, stretched and out of reach. Xie Ren sighed and also turned to leave, going back to the Crown Prince’s Palace to deal with those believers’ prayers that had been piling up for days.
Yet, he was not the one most troubled. The Lord of the Land was.
The fears of the Immortal Bliss Kingdom Lord became a reality, and these five hundred or so Winged Ones were just the beginning.
Xie Ren holds a borrowed rainmaker’s hat, frequently traveling between the north and south, with his own one person’s power, making law rainfall. Every rainfall, it will take at least five or six days and a lot of mana, if not him, I’m afraid no one else can hold up this kind of running back and forth. Except for Jun Wu, of course. However, the Divine Martial Emperor’s jurisdiction was much wider than his, and the number of believers and territories he had to work on was far greater than that of Xian Le, so how could he ask Jun Wu to be distracted by this? Moreover, it could only moisturize a small portion of Yongan’s land at a time and lasted for a short period of time, though it could be alleviated, it could not be cured. Therefore, a month later, Yongan people began to formally migrate to the east in groups. Originally dozens of people a batch, but now, it is a few hundred, thousands of people, a large number of large groups, converge into a river.
After another month, His Majesty the Lord of Xianle issued an order: in view of the continuous disputes and frequent fights over the past months, in order to maintain the peace and stability of the Imperial City, with immediate effect, all the former Yongan people who have been dispersed in the capital of Xianle must be withdrawn from the Imperial City. Each of them will be given a certain amount of money to settle down in other towns.
The gates of the Imperial City of Immortal Bliss were closed in front of the people of Yongan who came east in great numbers.
