Liu Ji was secretly shocked. The number of refugees in the dungeon skyrocketed, and Pei County had nowhere to be resettled. He was discussing with Lu Wan, Xiao He and others about how to use Mangdang Mountain as a stronghold. Unexpectedly, Yongchi himself came to his door instead.

Liu Ji pondered, why did Yongchi suddenly arrest people as slaves now? Chen Sheng was king, wars were everywhere, and the people were in chaos. What was Yongchi's intention to recruit soldiers and horses at this time?

Liu Ji felt something was wrong. He was about to ask something, but he heard a "puff--" sound, and a few feet of blood suddenly flew out of the strong man's neck. The strong man's eyes widened, as if he didn't know what had happened, so he fell to the ground and died instantly.

Liu Ji was also shocked. He looked around quickly. The surroundings were silent and there was no movement. Unexpectedly, someone could kill people in front of him silently. There were also people with high martial arts skills around Yongchi.

The person in front of him was dead, and it would be useless to stay any longer. Liu Ji threw down the body, walked to the old man and the young man, and gently helped them up.

The old man was already scared and could not stop kowtowing and begging for mercy. The child was so scared that he couldn't cry, so he had to hide behind his grandfather timidly and tremble.

Liu Ji sighed and comforted: "Don't be afraid, old man, I am the city lord of the 'dungeon'. You came from afar, probably to come to Pei County to avoid the war. Now that I am here, you don't have to worry."

"Three...Three Young Master?" The old man raised his body in fear and fear, looked at Liu Ji, and cried, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, the Third Young Master, for taking in our grandfather and grandson! Thank you, the Third Young Master!"

The sudden incident in front of him made Qi Lan stay where he was. In just a few minutes, a strong man died! And why did the grandfather and grandson kowtow to Wen Ji? What is the identity of the third young master in the dungeon?

Qi Lan felt that her head was about to explode!

She always thought that Wen Ji was just an ordinary man, but judging from the current situation, there seemed to be many secrets hidden in this person. He could never be just an ordinary person.

Qi Lan was curious. She rushed forward in two steps, pulled Liu Ji up, and blurted out a series of questions: "Who are you? What is the dungeon? Why is that strong man so afraid of you? Why is this old man thanking you now? Who are you? "

Liu Ji was helpless by a series of questions. He patted Qi Lan's head, pointed to the front and said, "I'm going to the city gate soon. You can go in and take a look and you'll know."

The city gate of Pei County stood high, majestic and solemn in the night. The darkness was mixed with the tide, revealing a wave of coldness. Qi Lan couldn't help but tremble. Looking at the heavy gate, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Above the city tower, two yellow lanterns hung high, and a light yellow light appeared in the darkness, appearing faintly. Although it was not bright, it was still dazzling in the night. The lanterns swayed lightly with the wind and the candlelight swayed, disrupting the dark shadows under the night.

Qi Lan looked at the two lanterns and murmured to herself: "Is that lamp... directing the direction?"

Liu Ji narrowed his eyes, looked at the two lamps thoughtfully, and nodded: "That is the guide light of the dungeon. As long as you walk towards the light, you won't get lost."

The old man nodded and said hoarsely: "Yes, that is our lamp of hope at night. As long as we walk towards that lamp, we can survive..."

Qi Lan looked at the skinny old man, and a trace of sadness flashed through her eyes. Her excitement when she went out gradually calmed down. She glanced deeply at Liu Ji and walked towards the gate of the dungeon.

The dim light shone on the streets, the candlelight swayed, the crowds of people were crowded, and the sounds were filled with people. Lanterns similar to those at the gates of vendors in the city were hung at the gates of the city, and the light yellow light shone with each other, illuminating the entire market.

Like the streets during the day, there are all kinds of vendors everywhere, such as iron, vegetable, cloth, and many merchants and restaurants, who also do business normally. Qi Lan walked and looked at her, and gradually noticed that all the people in the dungeon at night were dressed in tattered people. They had pale faces, thin skin, haggard expressions, and even their heads were messy. When these vendors saw them, they all stopped their work, knelt down and kowtowed to them one by one, muttering: "Three Young Master Wan Fu... Three Young Master Wan Fu..."

Liu Ji waved at them, indicating that they didn't have to be too polite. The vendors stood up timidly and continued to be busy with their work.

Qi Lan stopped in front of a vegetable vendor. An aunt in a ragged carries a child. She staggers to the stall, took out a piece of ragged cloth and handed it to the vendor. The vendor looked at it, took the cloth, found a few sweet potatoes from the basket, and handed it to the aunt. The aunt hurriedly took it over and limped away with the child in her arms.

Qi Lan remained silent and looked at the aunt's departure back, her heart felt as if she was pricked by a needle. She passed by several vendors, and almost everyone was exchanging the only things left on her body. Qi Lan stopped and turned to look at Liu Ji, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Are you... okay?" Liu Ji looked at Qi Lan and smiled bitterly.

"This - is the dungeon? Is it your - the dungeon?" Qi Lan didn't know what to say. The scene in front of her was too different from what she was thinking. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Yes, this is the dungeon..." Liu Ji sighed, looking at the lanterns hanging high in the shop, the sound was slow. The dim light could not illuminate the expression on his face, but Qi Lan seemed to hear Liu Ji's sigh.

"This is an exiled 'city'. Most of the people in the dungeon are poor people who fled. The tyrannical Qin Dynasty is unrighteous, the people are living in poverty, and the hungry and cold refugees are everywhere. This dungeon is their place to stay."

Liu Ji pointed to the lantern at the city gate: "Every night, this Pei County has become a 'dungeon' under my jurisdiction. The indigenous people in the city should not go out at will. Only refugees and beggars who have been exiled here can go out to make a living."

Qi Lan looked at the hawker stalls with all kinds of things, and she looked puzzled: "Since you are a refugee, how could there be so many things?"

Liu Ji smiled indifferently: "Although most of them are refugees, there are still some merchants from Pei County who cannot bear to die of hunger and cold, and donate generously. They will often provide some food supplies and trade cheaply in the dungeon. The refugees will also be grateful for their kindness and help them do some miscellaneous work during the day."
