The little girl hugged two warm steamed buns and passed through the gap between two octagonal buildings. She panted as she ran towards an old and dilapidated tile-roofed house.
This tile-roofed house was already a dangerous building. The walls made of stone and mud had already sunken in and deformed, as if it could collapse at any time. There were also many gaps in the tiles on the roof. Whenever it rained, the house would flood.
With a creaking sound, the little girl pushed open the rotten wooden door and hurriedly rushed into the house.
The facilities in the house were very simple. Apart from a simple and shabby wooden bed, a cooking stove, and an iron pot that had not been used for a long time, there were no other facilities.
A middle-aged woman who was as thin as firewood, without the color of blood, was quietly lying on the shabby wooden bed, covered with a tattered quilt.
"Mother, I brought you steamed buns!" The little girl breathlessly rushed to the shabby wooden bed and hurriedly stretched out her little hand to pull the woman on the bed.
But after she pulled for a long time, the woman lying on the shabby wooden bed still did not react.
"Mother, don't sleep. Wake up, okay? I brought you steamed buns, I beg you, get up and eat. You haven't eaten for five days … "
The little girl hurriedly went forward to shake her mother. When she touched her mother's body, she discovered that her mother's body had already turned cold.
The two steamed buns fell to the ground. The little girl instantly froze in place, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes …
… …
On the streets of the city.
Over a thousand armored horsemen stood neatly in a row, forming a line on the street.
A middle-aged man wearing purple and gold armor was riding a tall and mighty warhorse, sweeping back and forth on the street.
This middle-aged man's left eye had a vertical sword scar, evenly dividing the entire eye from the middle. It looked very domineering and fierce.
The starving people who had been wandering the streets were so scared that they curled up in the corners of the alleys, not daring to show their faces in public.
Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing an embroidered robe and a jade crown came to the scene with a group of city guards.
"Baiyang City Lord greets General Dian Fang." The embroidered robed middle-aged man respectfully saluted the sword scar middle-aged man when he came in front of him.
The sword scar middle-aged man called Dian Fang was still riding on horseback. He looked down at the embroidered robed middle-aged man who called himself the city lord. "You are the city lord here? Then I'll leave the matter of collecting resources for the Empire to you to complete. "
Hearing Dian Fang's words, the city lord's face was full of awkwardness, but he did not dare to speak.
"What? Did you not hear what I said? "Dian Fang said impatiently.
After hesitating for a moment, the city lord gathered his courage and said to Dianfang, "But Lord Dianfang, didn't Poplar City just get expropriated half a year ago?"
Dian Fang replied righteously, "Do you know how much manpower and resources the Empire sacrificed to fight against the Assassination Society?"
"If it weren't for the Imperial Army fighting against the Assassination Society, the Empire's territory would have long been conquered by the Assassination Society. Would you still be able to live and work here in peace? "Empire" army, the empire, Empire, Empire, and said.
"Now the city is severely lacking in resources, prices have skyrocketed beyond control, and many people are starving to death on the streets.
If we collect resources again, I'm afraid more than half of the city's people will starve to death! " Dian Fang pulled out his spear and pierced the city lord's chest with lightning speed.
"Why … why …" The city lord's eyes widened in disbelief. He looked at his pierced chest and stared at Dian Fang.
Dian Fang looked coldly at the city lord and said, "Resources are lacking, prices have skyrocketed, and the people are starving to death. This is enough to prove that you are corrupt.
Dianfang coldly looked at the City Lord and said, "Lack of resources, skyrocketing prices, and people starving to death. This is enough to prove that you are corrupt. Dian Fang pulled out his spear and blood spurted out of the city lord's chest.
The city lord groaned and fell to the ground, spitting out blood. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the sky.
"City Lord!" The city lord's guards immediately went up to check on the city lord's condition.
All the people in the alley were pale with fright. They looked at the fallen city lord with tears in their eyes.
All the people in the alleyway were so scared that their faces turned pale. They looked at the fallen city lord with tears in their eyes.
The city lord who had protected Baiyang City and fought with the demonic beasts until both sides suffered.
The city lord who had appeared on the city wall every day for the past six months to give out porridge to the famine victims.
The city lord who had appeared on the city wall every day for the past six months to give out porridge to the famine victims.
Now, he had died under the spear without knowing why!
"Empire army, listen up! The city lord of Baiyang City is suspected of corruption. We will start with the city lord's mansion and then go from house to house to collect resources. If anyone dares to disobey, kill them without mercy!"
Following Dian Fang's order, the thousand cavalrymen spread out in all directions.
One of the teams headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion, while the rest broke into every house and looted all the valuable resources. They were no different from bandits.
Whether it was a martial arts family with many geniuses or a poor family with a small population, they could not escape the fate of being looted.
"Sir! You can take all the other valuable things, but this is the only thing you can't take. It's my clan's heirloom! If you take it away, our family that has been passed down for thousands of years will be destroyed just like that! "
"I beg you, Sir. My family is poor. My son admires martial arts and hopes to use this primeval stone to step onto the path of cultivation. I beg you, don't take it! "
"Bastard! How dare you hide it! Kill them! "
"Damn it, a bunch of f * cking bandits! I'll fight you to the death! "
Lin Yun and the rest sat in the inn, watching everything that was happening outside coldly. They watched as the so-called empire's army went from house to house to steal resources like bandits.
Some of the people who had hidden the resources started to fight back after being discovered by the empire's army.
Many of the people who were no match for the empire's army died under the spear of the empire's army.
The leader of one of the families was a King Wu level expert. After he was completely enraged, he raised his sword and killed more than ten of the empire's cavalrymen.
"What audacity! How dare you kill the empire's soldiers!" Dian Fang directly flew over and pierced through the King Wu level expert with his spear. He then cut off his head and hung it on the tallest building nearby.
The King Wu level expert's family was also completely wiped out by the empire's cavalry. Even the women and children were not spared.
"Do you see? This is the result of resistance! Hahahaha! "Dian Fang's extremely savage laughter resounded throughout the entire street.
