The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

"what!"

Su Guangwei couldn't make a sound, but the tall and thin man screamed. But when he opened his eyes again, he found that the dagger that Zhao Li snatched away only fell in front of the princess's eyes and did not stab her, which was really scaring them.

"I will write a letter to Concubine Su about everything that happened today. You all, just wait for me!"

Su Guangwei nodded repeatedly, indicating the same idea.

Qi Yu and Zhao Li looked at each other, and the latter picked up the back of the knife and hit Su Guangwei on the back of the head. Su Guangwei immediately fainted on the ground.

Before the tall and thin man could react, he saw Su Guangwei's body being thrown sideways. He was frightened and raised his hand holding the queen insect. Seeing this, Qi Yu flew up and punched him in the chest with his palm that had accumulated power.

The tall and thin man was so shocked that he felt as if his internal organs had shifted. His palm loosened and the queen insect flew out. Zhao Li saw this and reached out with his long arm to catch it steadily.

"Give me back my clan's secret medicine!"

Zhao Li said cynically, "What if I just steal your medicine?"

"You...you guys..." The tall and thin man caught the unconscious Su Guangwei and looked at Qi Yu and Zhao Li in frustration.

"You are simply acting like bandits."

"Bandit? Tsk tsk, didn't I learn all this from you?" Zhao Licai wasn't afraid of this fellow. He stood in front of the tall and thin man with his sturdy body, holding the machete across his chest, looking down at him. "Remember, we are also giving him a taste of his own medicine."

"Kill you all!"

The tall and thin man could no longer control himself. He pointed at the recruits behind him and with a gesture, dozens of people swarmed over.

Zhao Li had already prepared to risk everything, but Qi Yu took a step forward, moved in front of him, and blocked everything behind him.

Qi Yu said, "Does General Changfeng know that you have abandoned the military camp and colluded with corrupt officials?"

All the soldiers who tried to charge forward stopped.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally, because of the four words "General Changfeng", no one dared to move.

"You are all useless. I will explain to the general. Don't forget that you are here to protect the princess!" The tall and thin man was furious. He wanted to snatch the swords from their hands and do it himself.

The soldiers remained motionless. One of them looked at Qi Yu, then walked over and asked, "Do you recognize our general?"

"More than just recognition, the fatal knife wound on his back was caused by saving me. He and I are both a teacher and a friend."

Qi Yu was neither humble nor arrogant, and carefully memorized each new face in front of him.

He was not a talkative person, and he knew that these people in the camp were not disloyal, but they were helpless and had no choice. But if they could repent in time today, he would pretend that nothing had happened.

"Were you the one the general saved?"

One of them seemed to know what Qi Yu was talking about. Suddenly, with a bang, the sword in his hand was thrown down.

"Brothers, we were wrong. This man was someone that even a great general would protect, so we shouldn't have killed him. Let's go back to the barracks and apologize. There's still time."

When someone makes a suggestion, someone else will agree.

Soon, more than forty disguised soldiers laid down their weapons and left Duping County.

"You...you all come back!"

The tall and thin man never expected that they would leave like this.

Now that Qi Yu and Zhao Li are still here, and the princess has been knocked unconscious, can he rely on the guards in the house behind him to deal with them?

All their money was wasted!

"You, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Zhao Li getting closer and closer, the tall and thin man gritted his teeth, left Su Guangwei behind, and strode back to the gate of the house.

"I'm warning you, you don't have much time left. Once the queen is provoked, the offspring will inevitably be in trouble. He..." He pointed at Qi Yu and said, "He will definitely die."

This is what Zhao Li wanted to ask. He waved the machete in his hand and pointed it at the tall and thin man's chest, "Give me the antidote!"

"There's no antidote." The man remained neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes firm. Soon, he raised his head and roared to the sky, "Hahaha, everyone knows there's no antidote to the Miao secret technique. If you go back now, you can still spend your last warm moments together. If you waste it here..."

He no longer seemed afraid.

Because he knew that people were afraid of death.

"I'll kill you."

Zhao Li was provoked, and the knife in his hand was about to strike down on his head.

Qi Yu stopped him in time, "Brother Zhao."

When he saw that the tall and thin man was obviously scared but did not hide, he knew that he was not lying. He could not get the antidote back, and he could not kill Zhao Li.

"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. As the princess of Duping County, he knew the law but broke it. He colluded with the magistrates of nearby villages to rob the people. He should have been dealt with by the government. Why dirty Brother Zhao's hands?"

Qi Yu gave a few instructions to Jiang Zhi, who rushed into the house with a wooden spear in his hand. When he came out again, he was followed by four county magistrates in plain clothes who were tied together like a string of candied haws.

At this time, Qi Yu had already written a letter of revision. Although it was anonymous, he had truthfully reported everything that had happened in recent days.

The local government was not involved in the Duping County incident, so it was handed over to the higher authorities for handling. No one wanted to miss out on such an opportunity to deal with so many corrupt officials at once.

"Brother Zhao, please send someone to secretly deliver this letter and these people to Chang'an County."

Chang'an County's superior is Jingzhao Prefecture. Although the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor is not old, he is extremely upright. The subordinates he promoted are all honest and selfless. It is most appropriate to let them handle this matter anonymously.

"No, Your Highness, don't!"

The tall and thin man was now afraid, calling him "His Royal Highness Crown Prince Qi Yu" and kneeling down to kowtow.

Unfortunately, Zhao Li thought he was being noisy and slapped him unconscious. He then called in four of his men and personally escorted them to Chang'an County.

Although he was just a small yamen runner, the emperor was far away and the work was done in secret. Who would know what they had done?

Qi Yu, supported by Jiang Zhi, returned with the remaining five people carrying food.

However, as soon as they left the territory of Duping County, many refugees seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When they saw Qi Yu, they knelt on the ground and blocked his way.

"Why, you still want to steal food?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in denial.

"It's unfair, sir. We were forced to do what we did before by that fellow Su Guangwei. We had no choice, sir."

"Please, sir, save us."

One of them squeezed forward from the back of the crowd, holding a swaddled baby in his arms. "Sir, our child is less than a hundred days old and hasn't eaten for three days. He's dying. Please, sir, save his life!"

After saying that, she kowtowed while holding the child, and soon a blood mark appeared on her forehead.

Seeing this, the others also kowtowed and begged the adults to release food.

It turned out that the famine had gradually spread to the surrounding areas of Duping County. During the period when Su Guang was the county lord, he wasted the people's money and resources and seized their wealth. When he had no food to eat, he robbed the people's food. The people had no food to eat and could only be threatened and exploited, and even starved.

Today, when he saw Qi Yu leading people to take back the food from Huai Village, he plucked up the courage to block their way, hoping to give them some.
