With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

Chen Qingwan lifted the car curtain and looked at the endless line of disaster victims outside with a frown on her face.

The food on the carriage was originally expected to be enough to sustain the journey to Qingzhou City.

But now it seems that we can't even complete half the journey.

"Hold on a little longer, everything will be fine once we reach Qingzhou City."

Chen Qingwan sighed and said with forced calmness.

As the empress, no matter how panicked she was.

Don't show any fear on the surface.

But the reality is more cruel than she imagined.

As the team went deeper, the number of victims increased and the roads became more and more crowded.

The originally spacious official road is now blocked by dense crowds of people.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead.

A group of disaster victims knelt in the middle of the road, blocking their way.

They were dressed in rags and looked pale and thin.

Like a demon crawling out of hell, his eyes flashed with despair.

"Kind sir, please give us some food! We haven't had a full meal in days!"

"Please, give me something to eat!"

A woman holding a dying child in her arms.

He staggered to Chen Qingwan's carriage.

"Can you give the child some water? She's dying! Please, my lord!"

The child was so thin that he was just a bag of bones.

His face was pale, his breathing was weak, and he was about to die.

Chen Qingwan's heart softened, and she was about to ask someone to bring some water.

But suddenly, I saw a large group of disaster victims coming from a distance, blocking the roads in front and behind.

These people, like sharks smelling blood, rushed towards this side frantically.

She hesitated.

If we give alms now, the food left in the carriage will not be enough to share.

By then, they will all be in trouble.

Seeing this, the guards around hurriedly drew their swords and shouted at the victims to leave.

"Get out of the way! Don't block the road!"

"If you don't leave now, don't blame us for being rude!"

The guards' scolding did not scare away the victims, but instead aroused their anger.

"Why don't you give us food? You dog officials!"

"We are starving to death, and you are enjoying yourself here!"

At this moment, a disaster victim suddenly shouted:

"Just now I saw them giving food, water, and meat to those people outside the city!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like lighting the fuse of a powder keg.

There was a look of madness in the eyes of all the victims.

They stopped begging and began to push the guards frantically.

Trying to rush to the carriage to grab food.

"They have food! Grab it!"

"Charge! Grab the food!"

The victims came like a tide, and the guards were outnumbered and were quickly dispersed.

Some people in the crowd began to curse and some began to cry.

Someone even pushed over a carriage.

All the dry food and canned food in the carriage were scattered on the ground.

At that moment, all the victims were excited.

"Food, that's food! We have food!"

"Mine, all mine..."

The crowd rushed forward, grabbing the food on the ground like hungry wolves.

Chen Qingwan watched all this with her own eyes, feeling powerless.

She knew she had underestimated the severity of the disaster.

She originally thought that she could help these disaster victims.

But now it seems that she herself can't protect herself.

The guards fought desperately to protect Chen Qingwan.

But their numbers were small and they were no match for the frenzied crowd.

Chen Qingwan and Qiao'er were trapped in the carriage.

Listening to the deafening shouting outside, his face turned pale.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Qiao'er held Chen Qingwan's hand tightly and asked in a trembling voice.

Chen Qingwan gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down.

She knew that panicking now would only make the situation worse.

She had to find a way to escape.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the top of the carriage.

"How dare you, the scoundrels! How dare you attack an official appointed by the imperial court!"

The black shadow was of burly build, holding a long knife, and looked menacingly at the victims around him.

The victims were shocked by this sudden change.

They all stopped what they were doing and looked at the dark shadow on top of the carriage in horror.

Chen Qingwan lifted the car curtain and looked up.

The man had a stern face and fierce eyes, like a Shura from hell.

"Who are you?" Chen Qingwan asked.

The dark figure looked down from above, with a wicked smile on his face, and spoke in a frivolous tone:

"I am the guardian of the Shura Sect, known as 'Blood Shadow Mad Blade'."

He paused, as if enjoying Chen Qingwan's surprised look, before continuing:

"Our leader noticed you two days ago. He was struck by your beauty and couldn't forget you after just one glimpse."

"Well, we've sent you here specially to welcome you to be our leader's wife."

He had barely finished speaking when something came from behind the crowd and from the rooftops of the houses on either side.

A large group of men in black rushed out, all holding sharp blades and with ferocious faces.

They rushed towards the unarmed victims, waving swords and knives like hungry wolves pouncing on a flock of sheep.

"Kill these troublemakers and save our leader's wife!"

Blood Shadow Mad Knife gave the order.

The flashes of swords and the shadows of knives flashed in the crowd, and screams and wails rose one after another.

Chen Qingwan looked at the bloody scene in front of her, and a surge of anger surged from the bottom of her heart.

She was the ruler of a country, yet she was targeted by a cult leader.

And be forced to become the leader's wife?

What a shame!

"Where did this stray dog ​​come from? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? You still want to marry me?"

She cursed in her heart.

"Stop!" Chen Qingwan shouted sternly.

"Don't kill these people! Otherwise, I will uproot your Shura Cult and leave no one alive!"

Upon hearing this, Blood Shadow Mad Blade was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"You're quite the mouth, young lady! But I like it! It's spicy enough!"

"When you become our leader's wife, I will let the leader teach you well and let you know what it means to..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a series of rapid knocking sounds.

"I've heard of the Shura Cult. They kill, burn, and rob, committing all sorts of evil!"

The voice of the guard commander Li Dazhuang came from outside the car window, sounding extremely anxious.

Chen Qingwan's face was gloomy and she felt even more annoyed.

She had originally thought that if the Shura Cult could help her control the situation, perhaps she could use it temporarily.

But now it seems that this group of people are simply a bunch of inhuman beasts!

"Kill! Leave no one behind!"

Chen Qingwan ordered in a cold voice.

The guards who received the order started fighting with the Shura sect members.

For a while, the fight with the large number of believers was difficult to resolve.

Seeing that Chen Qingwan remained unmoved and instead ordered an attack on him, Blood Shadow Mad Knife immediately became angry and embarrassed.

He leaped off the top of the carriage, waving a long sword, and rushed straight towards Chen Qingwan.

"If you don't accept my toast, then you'll have to drink for me! Then don't blame me for being rude!"

Seeing this, Qiao'er immediately stood in front of Chen Qingwan, drew her dagger, and rushed forward.

"You daring lunatic! Don't even think about harming His Majesty!"

The two men's swords clashed, sparks flying.
