Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

Although the other party was dissatisfied with Chu Junze's words, he couldn't very well refuse to give him face.

Even though Apocalypse needs their support now, they still can't go too far.

"Alright, since the Third Prince has invited us, let's go!"

After the man finished speaking, he gave a wink to the person next to him, who immediately understood and stayed at the back of the line.

The woman, who thought she was saved, was staggering to her feet and trying to leave when she was stopped by someone.

"What are you doing? Didn't the Third Prince tell us to leave?"

"That's right. If the Third Prince finds out that you're two-faced, he definitely won't let you off the hook."

The women trembled as they watched them threaten them.

"Haha, you still want to use the Third Prince to intimidate us? Even if the Third Prince finds out, so what?"

You should just pretend nothing happened. I advise you not to resist.

Otherwise, you might lose your child.

After one of the soldiers finished speaking, he raised his knife and slashed at a little girl.

They wanted to give those young girls and women a hard time.

But just as he raised his hand, a small stone flew out of nowhere and hit his wrist.

A tingling sensation instantly spread through his arm, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

"Who, who's ruining my plans!"

The officers and soldiers clutched their arms, their faces contorted with rage as they roared at their surroundings.

What you've done is definitely not a good thing!

For once, Shadow Three's eyes turned red. After simply covering his face, he drew his sword and rushed out.

He'd wanted to beat these people up for a long time.

Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly went to the women and helped up the nearest one.

Upon seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's intentions, the officers and soldiers hurriedly rushed over with their knives.

However, Song Wenjing struck him directly with a palm, causing him to vomit blood and instantly collapse to the ground.

The women rushed to their children and hugged them tightly.

"Thank you, hero! Thank you for saving me!"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Alright, let's hurry up and leave with the child!"

Seeing that all the women had run away, the soldiers were anxious, but they were held back by Shadow Three and could not give chase.

Instead of killing them outright, Shadow Three toyed with them like a cat toying with mice, leaving them with wounds of all sizes.

It seemed that only in this way could he vent his anger.

Seeing the soldiers coming to their aid not far away, Song Wenjing slapped away several soldiers who were fighting against Ying San.

"Alright, let's not cause too much of a commotion, let's leave now!"

After they retreated, they did not stay in the city for long and immediately returned to the bamboo house.

Sure enough, they sealed the city gates shortly after they left and began a large-scale search of the city.

After Chu Junze led those people to the brothel, he came out to inquire about the situation of the young girls and women who had been trapped earlier.

Upon hearing that they had gone back on their word after he left, Chu Junze wished he could rush into the house and kill them all.

But his reason told him he couldn't do that.

Tianqi is currently suffering from natural disasters. If he acts impulsively without considering the overall situation, even more people will suffer as a result.

Although Tianqi appears to be no different now, Chu Junze knows that this is only a facade of calm.

Now, forces everywhere are doing their utmost to plunder and store up food.

It is likely that after the New Year, the disaster caused by food shortages will slowly come to light.

Back in the bamboo house, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel angry when she thought about what had just happened.

I thought of the despair and helplessness in the women's eyes, and the terror on the children's faces.

It was as if a hand was tightly gripping her heart.

Although she couldn't change anything, God gave her a compassionate heart.

She is actually selfish, and cherishes her own life more, but she can't help but empathize when faced with the suffering of others.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao was in a bad mood, Song Wenjing picked up her little white dog.

Because the little wolf was entirely white, Lin Xiaoxiao simply named it Xiaobai (Little White).

Little White was a bit fatter than before, lying softly in Lin Xiaoxiao's arms, occasionally playing with the jade pendant at Lin Xiaoxiao's waist with its chubby little paws.

Song Wenjing sat down next to her and put his arm around her shoulder: "Alright, we've rescued them, haven't we? Don't be angry anymore."

While stroking Xiaobai, Lin Xiaoxiao muttered, "I wonder what country they are from, that they act so barbarically and cruelly."

"They are envoys from the Great Qian Kingdom. More than a decade ago, the Great Qian Kingdom was a great power, and its people were robust and healthy."

Therefore, they had a certain advantage on the battlefield. At that time, Apocalypse was nothing to them.

It was only through the arduous struggles of my grandfather and father's generation that Tianqi came to be what it is today.

Although they were down on their luck, they possessed a deep-seated pride and looked down upon the surrounding small countries.

After Song Wenjing finished speaking, he sighed, as if he could already see the future of Apocalypse.

Daqianguo?

Lin Xiaoxiao instantly formed a memory of this country.

In the book, Chu Junze recalls Song Huai'an to lead the army, all for the sake of this so-called Great Qian Kingdom.

But this time it's different. Although the current emperor is rumored to be in poor health, Chu Junze has not yet ascended the throne.

But the Great Qian Kingdom had already arrived.

It seems that his transmigration into the book and the death of the female protagonist have already caused quite a few butterfly effects in the present world.

This means that the outcome would become increasingly beyond her control.

There's no need for me to keep following the plot.

Lin Xiaoxiao said angrily, "So, those people just now weren't lustful at all, but deliberately insulted the people of Tianqi to vent their anger."

Song Wenjing remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement with Lin Xiaoxiao's statement.

Thinking back to what had just happened, Lin Xiaoxiao instantly lost any good impression of the envoy from the Great Qian Kingdom.

Even so, it's utterly shameless for a group of grown men to deliberately make things difficult for women, children, and infants.

After returning to the palace, Chu Junze was unable to calm down for a long time. He stood with his hands behind his back by the window, frowning as he looked at the artificial hill outside.

My mind was incredibly heavy.

Could it be that I was wrong?

In his pursuit of the so-called throne, he framed the Song family, leading to their imprisonment and exile, which resulted in the death of his beloved woman on the road to exile.

Not only are the people starving, but they are also being insulted by the envoys of the Great Qian Kingdom.

His initial motivation for wanting to ascend to a high position was to depose the incompetent crown prince and use his power to bring stability to the people of Tianqi.

"My lord, we have found out who rescued those women and children today. It seems, it seems to be one of General Song's shadow guards."

This is a hidden weapon he left behind at the scene; it's a ring-shaped throwing dart unique to Shadow Three, who serves General Song.

Chu Junze: "Young General Song, is he one of Song Wenjing's men?"

"Yes, I have fought with him before, so I am sure I am right. It is possible that General Song left him in the capital as an informant."

I only intervened today because I couldn't stand by and watch.

Chu Junze gave a mocking snort and said, "Even his men can't stand it anymore?"
