Thinking of the other party's purpose, Li Yifu couldn't help but take a breath. He had experienced a lot of things since he defected to the East Palace.

I thought that after this summer, Li Chengqian eliminated two opposition forces in a row and received strong support from Li Shimin to supervise the country. No one in the government or the country dared to oppose Li Chengqian, but he didn't expect that he had opened a big net and waited for them to jump in.

After a while of silence in the room, Pei Xingjian personally brought some food for Li Chengqian, all of which were brought with him dry food. It was very easy to make a fire and heat it up.

"Are the other people's meals ready?" Li Chengqian asked.

"All of them are there, are everyone eating outside?" Pei Xingjian said.

"Have Wang Fangyi's team left?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I've already gone, they all brought dry food to eat immediately." Pei Xingjian explained to Li Chengqian.

"I've been marching for a few days. I should let them eat hot rice before going." Li Chengqian said, smiling.

"The soldiers all received great kindness from His Highness the Crown Prince, so they should naturally sacrifice their lives to do their jobs for His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Yifu advised him.

Li Chengqian didn't say anything but Liu Kui stretched out his hand.

Liu Kui quickly bent down and helped Li Chengqian up.

"The most important thing for a person to live is to eat and sleep. Let you see the importance of a meal!" Li Chengqian said and walked out.

"Thank you for your teachings from the Prince!" the two bowed and said.

Li Chengqian waved his hand tiredly and helped Liu Kui walk out. Pei Xingjian and Li Yifu stood up and followed behind.

Li Chengqian walked out of the house and saw Xue Rengui serving the people personally, with a satisfied smile on his face.

The soldiers who had already been assigned to the food were squatting on the ground and eating. When they saw Li Chengqian coming out, they hurriedly put down their bowls and saluted him.

"See the young master."

Li Chengqian saw it and waved his hand with a smile, "No gift!"

Seeing that everyone was still looking at him, he walked up to see the rice in their bowls and said with a smile: "It's been a hard day, keep eating!"

The cavalry saluted again before squatting down and continuing to eat.

Li Chengqian turned around and looked at the people on the other side. They saw that these people were holding the food they had just received and staring at him blankly, obviously scared by the way everyone saluted him.

"My young master comes to see you all." Li Yifu said to everyone gently.

An old man realized when he saw Li Chengqian walking to him. He hurriedly put down his food and leaned on the ground and kowtowed to Li Chengqian, "Mr. Xie is the one who appreciates the food."

Li Chengqian slowly walked up and helped him up, touched his thin hands, looked at his fearful eyes, and smiled gently, "I don't have to be too polite. I brought my family here to find Sanming Immortal Sect, but the letter did not ask for the detailed address.

It was almost dark and we stayed here first. Since we were on the same road, we should help each other. We had a meal here tonight. We will go together tomorrow morning."

When the old man saw that Li Chengqian was kind and gave them food. He also found this place and thought that he must be a big shot who came to join the Sanming Immortal Sect. Without doubting him in his heart, he started a conversation with Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian basically knew about their situation after dinner.

This old man's surname is Liu, and he is called Old Man Liu.

The Sanming Immortal Sect’s main hall in Yichuan County is in a valley less than ten miles west. Among them, there is only one young man named Gouwa who visited a few days ago. Because there is food there, he went home to attract all his relatives and friends.

Gouwa highly praised the Sanming Immortal Sect and worshiped the Feifeng General Huang Feifeng to an unparalleled level.

But in fact, he only stayed in this Sanming Immortal Sect's settlement for less than two days and had four full meals.

Li Chengqian ordered Pei Xingjian to arrange these people and invited Old Man Song to ask about the situation here. Old Man Song said: I do know about this, because their village can still survive, so I ignored it.

He was speechless all night. The next morning, Li Chengqian ordered Li Yifu and the people who joined the Sanming Immortal Sect to go with him to investigate the situation of the Sanming Immortal Sect.

Because Wang Fangyi and Li Yi's mansion were sent out, Li Chengqian waited for them to come back here.

When Old Man Song and the villagers saw that Li Chengqian had no intention of leaving, they didn't know what they had planned, and they didn't dare to come forward to ask and just guessed in their hearts that they were not noble sons who passed by, but robbers were going to commit crimes here.

He secretly sent someone to Yichuan County to find Song Dalang, the son of Old Man Song. Song's son worked in the Yichuan County government office. When he heard that a bandit had entered his family, he went to report to the master.

The master knew about the Sanming Immortal Sect collusion with local officials and gentry. He thought that the children of the gentry were going to help, but he heard that the guard servants called the master a "private". He knew that the person who came was noble and dared not be proficient in his duties, so he went to report to the county magistrate Cui Qiang.

"Mr. County Master, I heard from Song Dalang that a noble man went to see Huang Feifeng." The master came to Cui Qiang to report.

"What kind of noble man?" Cui Qiang asked coldly.

The master saw Cui Qiang's expression was stiff, and knew that he was from a gentry that looked down on people like Huang Feifeng the most, so he didn't dare to say anything else, so he hurriedly said: "The students don't know either. I just heard that there were two or three hundred guards alone, one riding two riders, and they arrived yesterday at dusk-"

When the master said this, he saw Cui Qiang's expression change sharply: "Who is the person in charge?"

"I heard it was a noble young man in his twenties who had an injury on his feet-"

"Call Song Dalang quickly, I will ask him personally."

When the master saw Cui Qiang's expression was shocked, he hurriedly sent someone to call Song Dalang.

Cui Qiang was scared very much. Who came out to take two or three hundred cavalry guards?

Thinking of this, Cui Qiang hurriedly said, "Send someone to check where Lord Governor has gone?"

In order to act, Dai Zhide was coming from Luoyang to Yichuan to persuade the people to go home.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Li Yifu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and thought to himself: It's been here.

The journey from Songjiazhuang is full of desolate and rugged mountain roads, which is very difficult to walk on. The group is very tired when they come here.

They are the two primary schools behind Li Yifu. Because they have been training for many years, they are a little breathing when they come here.

He turned around and said to Old Man Liu: "Don't mention our matter when you go in later. My young master wants to see the character of this Flying Bee General, and then he decided not to see him."

"Hey, hey! The villain understands, the villain understands." Old Man Liu ate two "good meals" of Li Chengqian and agreed without hesitation about Li Yifu's request.

Li Yifu nodded, just looking at the empty and unpopular village in front of him, he couldn't help but look at the Dogwa who was leading the way in confusion and said, "Why are there no one here?"

Gouwa smiled and said, "Mr. Li doesn't know. General Feifeng is afraid that he will be discovered by the government, so he set up the camp in the valley behind the village."

Li Yifu nodded and continued walking in as they continued to walk. As expected, there was a small path leading to the mountains through the village.

But at this time, there were a hundred ragged elderly people, women and children sitting or lying there at the intersection of the mountain. When they heard the footsteps of Li Yifu and others, a few people turned their heads to look at them, lowered their heads, and looked extremely numb.

Li Yifu's heart moved and said to Old Man Liu in a low voice: "Old Liu, go and ask why they don't go in? Is there no one inside?"

When Old Man Liu heard this, he felt upset and hurriedly ran forward a few steps, bowed to a white-haired old man and smiled and said, "Brother, why don't you go into the mountains to have a full meal and see General Feifeng?"

The white-haired old man turned his head and looked at Old Man Liu blankly when he heard the sound, but he didn't react for a moment.

Old Man Liu had seen this situation and knew that they must be tired and hungry and desperate, so he was already very numb about the outside world, so he asked loudly again: "Brother, you've all walked here, why don't you go in?"

The white-haired old man still didn't say anything, and a young woman next to him cried and said, "I don't want us."

“Why?”

Old Man Liu felt a sudden heart when he heard this, and the smile on his face froze.

"We are useless--" The white-haired old man finally reacted, his voice full of sadness, anger and despair.

"Didn't it mean that the Flying Bee General of the Sanming Immortal Sect helps the poor? Why... Since you are not taken in here, why don't you go elsewhere to seek a chance to survive?"

"We have been here for two days and have already finished the dry food we brought..., we can't get out--"

The old man with white hair said this and looked at a few hungry children with straight eyes. He didn't say it or tears came out. He just half opened his mouth and looked up at the sky, and his throat moved and made several syllables of unknown significance.

When Li Yifu thought of the mountain road, he sighed in his heart, knowing that if these people couldn't have a hot meal, they would starve to death halfway through the road even if they walked back.
