Ji Hao released his spirit power and spread it out like a giant web, covering the entire garden.
Same as the other places in Pu Ban City, Ji Hao's garden had already been fully opened to refugees. By now, not only were all palaces and mansions filled with people, between mountains, rivers and woods, tents and thatched cottages could be found everywhere.
Not even a single empty space could be found in the garden, and people were crowding every corner of the garden. These human beings who came from outside Pu Ban City were divided into different sized areas according to their clans and clans for them to live in.
When Ji Hao arrived, people were standing on the tops of mountains, treetops, and even on the roofs and eaves of mansions and mansions, watching what was happening. Many people yelled towards where the black smoke came from. An uneasiness was brewing and spreading among the crowd.
The place where the fire started was a basin surrounded by hills. Inside the basin was a series of storehouses built from giant rocks. The black rocks were polished into a square shape, and were piled up together. Except for a small front door, the storehouses didn't even have a window.
A hundred storehouses, hundreds of meters squared and tens of meters tall, stood orderly in the basin.
The basin was surrounded by precipitous mountain walls, and only a ten-zhang wide, seven to eight miles long valley connected the inside and outside of the basin. By the entrance of the valley, a three-hundred-meter tall wall was built from giant rocks and cast from molten iron. Hundreds of armored elite warriors were standing on the wall.
Tens of thousands of muscular men in ragged clothes were holding simple shields made from animal skins, wooden boards, or other materials in their left hands, and all kinds of swords and blades in their right hands. They were roaring and attacking the warriors on the high wall fiercely.
Countless muscular men were like a swarm of ants, charging towards the city wall through a few crudely made scaling ladders. They roared and charged up the wall again and again, only to be pushed back by the warriors on top of the wall again and again.
Behind these muscular men who had been attacking the wall ceaselessly, a group of people had been roaring and cursing. They had been ganging up on a group of people with blurry faces. Countless fists punched on their bodies, and countless feet stomped on them, breaking their limbs. Some of them even died right on the spot.
In front of the valley was originally a large piece of flat land, on which a large number of crude earthen stoves were built and a large amount of firewood was piled up.
At this moment, thousands of earthen stoves were smashed into smithereens, iron pots, pots, and other cooking utensils were also destroyed, and the ground was covered with sticky rice porridge. After being trampled by countless people, the rice porridge had already turned into mud. If Ji Hao didn't find some grains of rice in the dark mud with his spirit power, he wouldn't be able to recognize that puddle on the ground.
Someone had ignited a mountain-like pile of firewood. Dense clouds of black smoke rose into the air. The black smoke that Ji Hao saw just now came from this place. Many crazy-looking people were singing and dancing around the bonfire, clapping their hands and laughing loudly.
All of a sudden, a middle-aged man, who was badly beaten and barely had a breath left, was dragged up by a group of crazy people and thrown onto a pile of burning firewood.
The clothes worn by this middle-aged man were immediately burned into ashes. The fire burned his body, making him howl hoarsely in pain. His voice sounded as shrill and shrill as a wounded wild wolf. "You bunch of heartless people … You live in our Earl Yao's house … You eat our food … You kill our people … You rob our storehouse …"
Ji Hao's look changed, and Shaosi's pretty face instantly turned incomparably dark.
Ji Hao scanned across the middle-aged man's body with his spirit power and found a bronze tablet tied around his waist. This meant that this middle-aged man was an official working under the command of Earl Yao's Mansion. In other words, this man was Ji Hao's minister.
Shaosi recognized this man and shouted harshly, "This is Uncle Li Shen. He's the most cautious one. He's the manager of this place. He's in charge of giving out rice porridge and clothes to these refugees!"
Ji Hao was a hands-off manager. He had been traveling around all year round, and had almost never taken care of anything that happened in Yao Mountain City.
At the moment, Ji Xia was in charge of the army in Yao Mountain City. As for the external battles and internal defenses, Ji Xia and a group of Gold Crow Clan people were all under Ji Xia's command. Man Man had also been mixing in the army and doing nothing.
As for the other affairs in Yao Mountain City, including winter plowing and autumn harvesting, hunting, forging, population registration, household management, all these were silently taken care of by Shaosi. Therefore, Shaosi clearly remembered every single person who was in charge of the specific affairs in Yao Mountain City.
"It's our people who are being beaten!" Ji Hao growled deeply, then gave a resonant roar. The fiery cloud flashed across, leaving a long streak of fiery light in the air. The Taiji creation cauldron released a strong stream of clear mist, which transformed into a series of enormous hands, grabbing all Yao Mountain people, who were beaten to a pulp in the crowd one after another.
Tens of thousands of Yao Mountain people were covered in cuts and bruises. Many of them were dying, seeming to die at any moment.
Especially Li Shen, who was thrown into the bonfire just now. His entire body was scorched black, and even his skin was carbonized.
With a dark face, Ji Hao took out a life-saving magic pill made by Priest Dachi himself. He clapped his hands and transformed the pill into a dense stream of mist, then gently blew on it.
A faint watery mist condensed in the air. The drizzle mixed with the power of the magic pill, ceaselessly falling on the bodies of those Yao Mountain people. Their wounds healed speedily, and the dying ones regained their powers as well.
Li Shen gasped deeply for air, tremblingly stood up. He glanced at Shaosi in surprise and shouted with a hoarse voice, "Lord Shaosi … These people … Earl Yao!"
Tens of thousands of Yao Mountain people kneeled in midair together. They politely and reverently kowtowed to Ji Hao, shouting 'Earl Yao' in a loud voice. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles. They had witnessed Ji Hao's great power many times. They clearly understood that since Ji Hao was back, these rioting people wouldn't be able to cause any more trouble.
On the ground, those rioting people who had been screaming and waving their arms all quieted down. Those muscular men, who had been attacking Yao Mountain warriors on the fence wall through ladders, stared at Ji Hao and his people, who were treading on clouds and standing in midair. Clang! One of them dropped his weapon first, then all the others dropped their weapons one after another.
The crowd began to recede in all directions.
Those rioting people, who had fierceness in their eyes, began fleeing in panic.
They were brutal, but they weren't stupid. Among human beings, those who could attain the titles of earl or marquis were at least Divine Magi, no matter how many armies they had.
As for Divine Magi … Even the weakest Divine Magus could crush everyone on the scene!
"Kneel!" Ji Hao's spirit power transformed into hundreds of thousands of thin threads, locking on these people.
"Kneel!" Ji Hao growled again, "I have locked on all of you. Those who kneel can become slaves to atone for their crimes. Those who run, kill them all! "
A few family warriors leaped high into the air and landed heavily in the group of strong men, who had been running the fastest. They wielded the heavy weapons held in their hands and generated a series of howls. Hundreds of strong men were smashed into meat pies.
A series of knee thudding noises could be heard without an end. On the flat ground outside the valley, hundreds of rioting people kneeled down one after another.
