When the battle was raging, the sound of horse hooves came from afar.

Qiao Qingfeng's eyes lit up. This was Mr. Zhuge and his team!

Saved!

The number of refugees was greater than that of the people in Yujia Village. Fortunately, everyone was well fed and strong, otherwise they might not have been able to withstand the siege of the refugees.

Qiao Qingfeng took a deep breath and kicked the refugees surrounding him while shouting:

"Please Mr. Zhuge, save us!!!"

Zhuge Huaijin, who was sitting in the carriage and was exhausted, heard what Qiao Qingfeng said.

He lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Let's go to the front and see what's going on!"

"Yes!"

"drive!"

"Rampage ahead! Everyone, get down and don't move!"

The soldiers quickly surrounded the refugees, their weapons flashing coldly.

Seeing that they couldn't run away, the refugees all squatted down and dared not move.

Those who were causing trouble were also squatting among them, their eyes rolling around, looking for an opportunity to escape.

Zhuge Huaijin got off the carriage and walked up to Qiao Qingfeng and saluted: "Brother Qiao, we meet again."

Then he asked, "What exactly happened here?"

Qiao Qingfeng clasped his fists and quickly recounted what had happened.

Zhuge Huaijin frowned, pondered for a moment, turned around and gave instructions to his men.

After a while, the people who instigated everyone were brought over.

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"

"Have mercy! They instigated me! Have mercy!"

Zhuge Huaijin glanced at them sharply and said in a deep voice:

"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. Instead of moving forward honestly, you dare to gather together and cause trouble. You should be executed according to the law!"

Those people were so scared that they collapsed to the ground and begged for mercy.

Zhuge Huaijin thought for a moment and said:

"Since this is your first offense, I'll give you a lenient sentence. Come, take them back to town and await your punishment."

Drag it back and chop it up to avoid scaring the children here.

The soldiers received the order and went forward to drag those people away.

The storm finally subsided, and Qiao Qingfeng and the villagers thanked Zhuge Huaijin one after another.

Zhuge Huaijin waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Don't be polite, this is what we should do. If there is a similar situation in the future, just kill them directly. There is no need to be afraid of losing lives."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhuge, for saving us again. We, the people of Yujia Village, will definitely repay you in the future!" The people of Yujia Village spoke one after another.

"No need. We are here to defend our country and serve the emperor. We are destined to be together. It's not far to go to Ping'an Town. Let's go!"

"We have orders to attend to, so we can't stay any longer. We'll take our leave now."

After saying that, he turned around, got on the carriage, and led the team forward.

Qiao Qingfeng looked at their receding backs, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart.

Some people eat the food contributed by everyone without doing anything, while others eat and take away the food, and even harm their parents who provide them with food and clothing.

Water can carry a boat and it can overturn it.

Yu Yaozu walked over to his wife and children:

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Yu shook his head, "No, Dad, are you okay?"

"Dad is fine. How about you, wife? Look, you are covered in blood. Let me see!" Yu Yaozu said as he pulled Qiao Mu to take a closer look.

Qiao Mu just said, "It's okay, it's all someone else's blood. Clean it up quickly. Look at the mess."

"Okay, okay, it's okay."

"Alas, the cart that Huzi and his friends worked so hard to build all night has fallen apart. What a pity."

"The cart is half broken. It will take an hour or so to repair it. Let's just use it for now!" Boss Yu felt very sorry.

The village head leaned on a cane, his back bent slightly. "Is anyone injured?"

After an inspection, it was found that only a few people were accidentally injured, but none of them were serious.

The men were very rough and their wounds were simply bandaged. The damage to two of the carts was not particularly serious.

Boss Yu and his men quickly started repairing the car.

Others also helped by collecting the usable wooden boards and reassembling them into a simple cart.

After a while, the car was repaired and everyone continued on their journey.

Along the way, everyone was silent, each with their own thoughts, and was only busy getting on their way. They just had a piece of bread for lunch.

After about two hours, they finally arrived at their destination - Anping Town.

There were soldiers guarding the city gate, and everyone entering had to register.

The refugees were also registering, and two teams were queuing up next to the city gate.

It's easy to see the difference between the two teams.

One group of people were dressed decently, while the other group was dressed in rags.

At the front of the refugee group, there was a doctor-like person who was taking their pulse.

Yu Yaozu felt a surge of excitement in his heart. This place was quite formal and looked legitimate at first glance!

While feeling at ease, he also went to consult with the village head:

"Uncle Lizheng, let me go check out the front. I see a notice posted on the wall over there."

When the village head heard this, he stood up and said, "Come on, I'll go with you!"

Qiao Qingfeng also strolled over.

Before leaving, the village head instructed everyone: "Wait here, we'll go to the front and see what the notice says."

"Hey! Mr. Village Head, please go. We must behave ourselves."

The people in Yujia Village were very happy and grinned:

"Oh, we're finally here!"

"Not bad, this city gate is really majestic!"

The village head and several others crowded in front of the notice. Yu Yaozu could read, so he understood it after reading it once.

The head of the village also took a pretty good look, and a few people staggered back to the team.

Everyone stepped forward:

"What are you writing about?"

Yu Baibai was also very curious and eavesdropped with his ears stretched out.

"Let's line up for a physical checkup first. Then, if there's nothing wrong, someone will give you a sign. Then go to the city gate and look for the person sitting there. Do you see him?"

Yu Yaozu pointed at the man and continued:

"Looking for that person, we have a lot of people, so let's do it the same way as before, go in batches."

"Okay! Listen to San'er!"

This time, the village head was asked to lead the team first. There weren't many people, so it was soon our turn.

"Where are you from?"

The village head straightened his clothes and then stepped forward:

"Sir, we are from Yujia Village in Qingshui Town. We are fleeing famine here."

"Are you from Yujia Village? Is Qiao Qingfeng here?"

Qiao Qingfeng took two quick steps: "I am Qiao Qingfeng."

"Well, then come and register. Mr. Zhuge has already said hello. You're quite early, and you're lucky. If you wait a couple of days, there will be a team sending refugees away."

After that, the man pushed the frame forward and said, "Choose! Each household will have a sign. The team will set out at noon tomorrow. Someone will call out right here."

"Hey, hey! Thank you so much, sir!" The village head bowed and saluted. He felt so honored!

After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and took twelve signs.

Before leaving, the man who handed out the badges said, "You can go for a walk around the city after the inspection, but please note that there is a curfew in the city."

"Thank you for your advice, sir!"

This place is much more prosperous than the former Qingshui Town. People come and go, and the streets and alleys are filled with various sounds and smells.

Even the governor through the city gate could feel it.
