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

"Sir, we don't want more, just one bushel of rice per person is enough. Su Guangwei promised us that if we participated in the robbery, he would give us one bushel of rice, but who knew he would go back on his word? Not only did we contribute, but he also beat and threatened us. We really have no other choice."

Adults and the elderly can endure it, eat tree bark and find wild grass, but children can't wait.

"But the people of Huai Village are also waiting for this food. Your Duping County has just experienced a famine, but do you know how long the famine has lasted in Huai Village?"

More than half a year.

If it weren't for the kindness of the gods, they would have starved to death without anyone knowing.

These people have just been through a few days and are stuck here, which is really embarrassing for them.

The exile said to Qi Yu, "You can't be kind. If you help them this time, you will do it countless times in the future. What will happen to the people of Huai Village?"

Qi Yu naturally knew that he should not be foolishly kind, but these were his father's subjects, the people of the Great Jin.

"There is a way."

Qi Yu said to everyone, "I can give you half of this food today, but there is a condition."

Although Zhao Li was not there, he thought that based on Zhao Li's personality, he would definitely agree.

"We are currently restoring Huai Village and resisting famine. If Huai Village can grow food, then the surrounding villages can follow suit, and we will help. So, since you want food today, you must give something." Qi Yu said, "No matter how many people go to Huai Village to help, each person will receive one dou of rice and two catties of vegetables per day, and one catty of meat for three consecutive days. How do you do it?"

"There are vegetables and meat?"

Everyone was extremely surprised.

What good life is Huaicun leading?

"What help?"

Someone asked, and someone quickly rushed to answer, "We do."

"We can endure any hardship. As long as we can provide food for our family and keep them alive, we can do anything."

The strong man stood up and helped his wife and children beside him, then immediately stood behind Qi Yu and joined the team escorting the food.

Soon, others followed suit, and the team grew to more than twenty people. The rest ran back home to spread the news.

"Your Highness, the number of people like this will only increase." Jiang Zhi was worried that the food would not be enough.

"Don't worry, when you go back, you can start farming, build greenhouses, and plant herbs. The people of Huai Village can also participate. The benefits are the same as I just said." Qi Yu said.

Suddenly, his stomach felt like it was regurgitating, and he felt a fishy and salty taste in his mouth, but in order to prevent Jiang Zhi from noticing his flaw, he endured it.

But Jiang Zhi still heard something, "We?"

He realized that something was wrong and immediately put his hand on His Highness's pulse. Soon, his face changed suddenly, "Your Highness?"

next moment.

The man who had just been standing upright suddenly fell backwards.

"Your Highness!"

Qi Yu fell into Jiang Zhi's arms, shaking uncontrollably despite his efforts to control himself. He felt as if a surge of energy was surging wildly within his body, as if it was about to explode.

It feels exactly like that day.

He knew that he would lose control next, and even wouldn't remember what he had done after waking up, but no matter what the outcome, he couldn't bear it.

In the palace, he killed Chen'er, in exile, he...

"Replicating the plowing machine. The materials were sent here along with the tent by Shen Shen that day. The blueprints are with Zhao Li. You two will help complete it together."

Before he fainted, Qi Yu hurriedly instructed, "The more greenhouses the better. Select crops that are simple and easy to grow and plant them first to ensure food security for the people. Once they mature, pass this technology on to Sun Xian and have him lead the people of Huai Village in planting them first. Jiang Zhi, protect Huai Village."

Feeling his body becoming increasingly out of control, Qi Yu tightly grasped Jiang Zhi's arm and said, "If necessary, you can kill me."

After he finished speaking, Qi Yu lost all consciousness and fainted.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Jiang Zhi hurriedly helped the man up and tried to give him some true energy.

But soon, before Jiang Zhi could rescue him, Qi Yu suddenly opened his eyes, but his eyes were empty and lifeless. Like a walking corpse, he soared into the sky, and even his broken legs seemed to have no feeling, and he was able to directly touch the ground.

He stood in front of everyone, looking around as if looking for prey. Suddenly, he stretched out his claws, bared his fangs, and pounced on someone.

"not good!"

Jiang Zhi secretly cried out that something was wrong and hurriedly protected the man behind him before he was injured, while he himself barely took a palm strike from the prince.

"Your Highness!"

"Qi Yu?"

Those who knew him well had never seen Qi Yu like this. His face was filled with fear and worry.

Jiang Zhi rushed forward despite spitting blood, but Qi Yu seemed to be possessed by a demon and could not recognize anyone. He slapped Jiang Zhi again with his palm.

"Your Highness, I am Jiang Zhi!"

Jiang Zhi, who had a much lower level of skill than Qi Yu, was no match for him on a normal day. Now that he was injured and facing Qi Yu, whose internal strength had greatly increased, he was even less able to resist.

Seeing that His Highness's hand was strangling his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe, Jiang Zhi struggled, and finally, while controlling the strength, he used the hilt of the sword in his hand to strike Qi Yu.

There was a loud bang and Qi Yu fell to the ground.

"Jiang Zhi, are you okay?" The fugitive hurriedly helped Jiang Zhi up. Everyone looked at the fallen Qi Yu as if they were looking at a wild beast, fearing that he would 'come back to life'.

Jiang Zhi suddenly pushed everyone away, rushed towards Qi Yu, helped him up, checked him carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was just fainted.

"It's that puppet insect that's causing trouble." Jiang Zhi brushed away Qi Yu's sleeves and saw vine-like patterns climbing up the prince's left arm.

He didn't know how to cure the poison, so he looked to the people of Duping County who followed him for help, "Do you know how to cure this poison?"

The people looked at each other for a long moment before one person spoke. "That's a secret Miao technique, one we've never seen before. If Su Guangwei hadn't brought it out today, no one would know what it was for, let alone how to detoxify it."

"Then Your Highness..."

There is no cure.

According to the tall and thin man, there are only three days left.

No! He must not let anything happen to His Highness.

Jiang Zhi took off his coat and tore it into thin strips, then tied up the prince's hands and feet first, because he didn't know what would happen after Qi Yu woke up, so this would at least prevent him from hurting himself.

He then carried him up and ordered Zhao Li's subordinates to take everyone to escort the food behind, while he used his lightness skills to quickly bring His Highness back to the place of exile.

It was two days later when Zhao Li returned after completing his mission.

When he saw Qi Yu tied to a wooden stake, with messy hair, bloodshot eyes and dark corners, looking at everyone like prey, he was shocked.

"what's the situation?"

Jiang Zhi had a deathly expression on his face. "Your Highness's condition is very poor. I'm afraid he won't live long."

Qi Yu had woken up countless times in the past two days, and each time he became more difficult and angry than the last.

It's like a lion that can get angry at any time, or a man-eating monster that opens its mouth wide and wants to eat people.

There was even one time when he broke free from the ropes and almost killed Jiang Zhi.

But Jiang Zhi couldn't find any way to treat it.

"Brother Zhao, how can I save His Highness?"

"God, God may have a way."

"But if His Highness doesn't wake up, no one can contact the gods."

Zhao Li paused and pulled Jiang Zhi aside. "Actually, I've always known Qi Yu's method of contacting the gods. Perhaps I can give it a try."
