Confiscated my property and exiled me, I emptied the emperor's old nest to escape famine

"Yes, yes, your father is right."

"Fei'er, whether you are a hero or not, your parents don't care at all."

"The most important thing is that the whole family is safe and healthy."

Lin Xue'e also agreed with Ye Qingyun's statement.

"Pfft~~"

"Dad, Mom, you don't really think that I would disrupt the sacrificial ceremony just out of so-called kindness, do you?"

"I did this just to save those children."

"The main reason is that Ye Ling and I were captured by someone with ulterior motives to replace the priests, and I happened to deal with those people involved."

"I'm doing this to get justice for myself."

Ye Ling covered his mouth belatedly, "It turns out that we were almost captured and sacrificed that day."

"It's horrible, these people are so evil."

Lin Xue'e touched his little head lovingly before speaking: "It seems that there is really nothing good to stay in Yuecheng."

"Let's go now while the people of Yuecheng are busy kneeling."

As they were talking, Ye Fei and his family had finished the breakfast they had prepared.

There was a rustling sound outside.

Soon, there was a knock on the door outside the room where Ye Fei and the others were:

"Sir, are you still there?"

Ye Qingyun frowned and stood up.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

Ye Qingyun looked at the innkeeper warily.

"Nothing, just asking if you still need the inn to arrange breakfast?"

The innkeeper replied listlessly.

Ye Fei took a quick glance.

She noticed that the innkeeper looked unhappy and didn't speak as energetically as yesterday.

"No thanks, boss."

"We've already eaten."

"You go and take care of the other guests."

Ye Qingyun politely refused the innkeeper.

"Okay, I guess you guys have eaten too."

The innkeeper nodded and turned to leave.

Then he paused and looked back at Ye Qingyun: "You all know what happened at the sacrificial ceremony last night, right?"

"Now everyone in Yuecheng is self-examining and kneeling down to apologize. Why don't you do the same?"

"Aren't you afraid that God's punishment will befall you?"

"Now everyone in Yuecheng knows that all the powerful and wealthy people in the city have suffered heavenly punishment."

"Overnight, they were left with nothing."

"So early in the morning, they took the lead in kneeling down and apologizing."

"Alas, I don't know when God's punishment will come upon poor people like us."

The innkeeper seemed to be speaking to Ye Qingyun, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

But Ye Qingyun spoke very seriously:

"We haven't done anything wrong, why should we be afraid?"

"Boss, you forgot that we are not from Yuecheng."

The innkeeper seemed to be blocked by Ye Qingyun.

Then he felt a little disappointed: "Yes, you are not from Yuecheng."

"I used to think that people like you who travel outside have a hard time, but now I realize that not being from Yuecheng actually gives you an extra way out."

“You don’t have to sacrifice your own children, and you don’t have to worry about being punished by God.”

Ye Qingyun asked the same question that Ye Fei was puzzled about: "Boss, since you are worried about the punishment from heaven, why don't you leave Yuecheng?"

"I remember that many people from Yuecheng were planning to leave before, but were dissuaded by Lord Wang."

The innkeeper sighed: "It's a different time now."

"It wasn't that serious before. Maybe I won't be punished by heaven if I leave Moon City."

"But it's different now."

"The punishment from heaven has already come, and we can only bear it."

"If you escape at this time, the consequences will be more serious."

"Besides, even if I leave Moon City now, the punishment from heaven will not disappear. I might even die in a foreign land."

"Instead of this, we might as well stay in Yuecheng and kneel down to apologize sincerely."

“Maybe after the heavenly punishment, we can still live here in peace.”

"Even if we die under the punishment of heaven, we will still be returning to our roots."

"No more talking, no more talking, this is our fate."

"You can enter and leave Moon City freely now. If you want to leave, leave now."

The innkeeper waved his hand dejectedly and left.

Ye Qingyun returned to his room in silence.

Ye Fei didn't expect that the people in Yuecheng thought this way.

No wonder no one wants to leave.

It seems that what happened at the sacrificial ceremony last night really frightened the people of Yuecheng.

But Ye Fei will not sympathize with them.

Because the so-called heavenly punishment does not exist at all, nothing will happen to the people of Yuecheng.

It’s just that the people of Yuecheng are guilty and afraid, so they want to kneel down and apologize to find some psychological comfort.

This kind of mental torture is Ye Fei's punishment for them.

When Ye Fei and his family walked out of the inn, the street was still crowded with people as before.

It's just that these people have lost their spirit.

Ye Fei glanced at it indifferently and paid no more attention to it.

This city and its people had nothing to do with her.

When he arrived at the city gate, Ye Fei saw a group of armored soldiers coming outside.

They showed a token to the guards of Yuecheng and then entered the city smoothly.

After some of the soldiers entered the city, they quickly ran towards Yuecheng.

The other part stayed and wandered at the city gate.

"Where did these soldiers come from so early in the morning?"

"Isn't something bad going to happen to me again?"

"Please don't do anything weird again."

Ye Qingyun was confused and frowned.

Ye Fei was even less clear about the origins of these soldiers.

The family walked quickly towards the city gate.

"stop!"

Suddenly a voice came.

Ye Fei ignored it.

Ye Qingyun ignored it.

The family continued walking towards the city gate as if nothing had happened, because they did not think the sound was directed at them.

Until a whip came lashing out.

Ye Fei was quick-witted and led Ye Qingyun and the others to avoid the whip cleverly and unnoticeably.

Ye Qingyun was so angry that his face turned blue.

However, he still tried his best to control his temper and asked, "General, you called us?"

"Nonsense, I'm not calling you, am I calling a ghost?"

"I thought you were all deaf."

Compared with Ye Qingyun's good temper, the general who cracked the whip spoke extremely impolitely.

He rode on his horse and looked down at Ye Fei's family: Who are you and what are you doing out of town so early in the morning?

Ye Fei wanted to take action directly but was stopped by Ye Qingyun.

He said calmly, "In reply to the general, we plan to leave Yuecheng and go home."

"I should have left a long time ago, but too many things have happened in Yuecheng recently so I have delayed it until now."

It seemed that the whip-cracking general had no intention of letting Ye Fei and his family leave the city just like that.

"It's not peaceful these days, there are often bandits and rebels causing trouble."

"This general has been ordered to eliminate the bandits and rebels. Naturally, I have to investigate thoroughly when I pass by this place."

"Now, show me your identification."

"Otherwise, this general will have no choice but to label you as suspicious persons."

The whip-smacking general waved his hand and was about to order his men to take Ye Fei and his family away.

At the same time, all the other people who wanted to enter or leave Moon City were stopped by them.

The guards of Yuecheng could only quietly explain the situation of Yuecheng to the whip-slapping general.

Because they don't want anything else to happen in Yuecheng.

The more the whip-smacking general listened, the more his eyes narrowed.

Finally, he sneered: "Playing tricks."

"We who march and fight, would we be afraid of these things?"

"It's obvious that someone is interfering. There is no such thing as divine punishment in this world."

"You guys are just cowards."
