Looking down from above, Grand Sun City was currently drowned in a sea of 'ants'. Both inside and outside the city were seething with anger. The land outside the city could not even be seen. Inside the city, there was nothing but buildings and human heads.
Yuehan was squeezed in the middle of a huge crowd. Although she was a powerful thousand-faced demon, and could control a powerful cultivator to death with an illusion technique, she was still unable to do so.
However, in the face of the seething crowd of tens of thousands, or even close to a hundred thousand people, she could only be helpless and helpless. She was swept into the torrent, hugging Little Bamboo tightly and going with the flow, not letting her and herself suffer any impact or harm.
In such a crowd, the most important thing was to make sure that they didn't fall. Otherwise, once they fell, they wouldn't have the chance to stand up again.
Tens of thousands of feet would trample on him, instantly turning him into minced meat, regardless of whether he was a general or a crown prince!
Xiao Zhu looked at all of this in terror. She had a blank look on her face and couldn't understand why these people were shouting so passionately. Why did everyone go crazy when the Crown Prince came? Their eyes looked like they were about to burn and shoot out light.
What puzzled her even more was that when she turned around to look at her parents, she saw that they were also waving their arms and cheering loudly. The excitement on their faces was completely different from their usual cautiousness.
Naturally, Little Bamboo could not understand the thoughts and thoughts of her parents. To her, the world of adults was extremely complicated.
For the shopkeeper and the lady boss, this kind of flood made them extremely panicked. Like many of the "disaster victims" here, they were not hooligans with nothing. After all, after the flood, they were just wandering from one city to another.
They all had land, houses, and family properties. After everything in Yuanjin City was flooded, they were most worried about their land and family properties!
Once they became refugees, would they be able to get these things back?
Could they go back?
These questions haunted them, causing them to live in intense uneasiness and fear every day.
As long as they had land, houses, and property, they did not wish for turmoil. They longed to return to their previous stable lives. Although the taxes were still high, at least they could still live!
But now that they had become refugees, they were being guarded and chased around like a mob of bandits, and they were even being shot at. The horror and fear in their hearts had reached the extreme!
Until …
The Crown Prince had appeared!
Everyone's hopes and feelings quickly found a point of convergence and breakthrough!
Did the Crown Prince not have a solution?
He was the Supervising Prince!
He was in charge of all the officials in the world!
The Crown Prince could solve all their problems with just a word!
Moreover, the Crown Prince loved the people like his own children. He would definitely help them!
This was the main reason why the Crown Prince's call was answered by the masses!
Inside the city, Governor Li looked as if he had been petrified. He stood there in a daze, his entire body trembling. His eyes revealed an intense fear. The shifty-eyed advisor also widened his eyes. He never thought that at this critical moment, the crown prince would suddenly appear here!
This change had disrupted all of his plans. Just as his eyes were spinning rapidly, Governor Li grabbed him and anxiously asked, "What should we do now?
Tell me, tell me quickly! "
The shifty-eyed advisor was also so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. He quickly glanced around and saw that the middle-aged advisor had already quietly distanced himself from them. Even General Zeng, who had been persuaded by the shifty-eyed advisor, had silently moved to the other side and ordered his subordinates not to kill the people. Furthermore, he had already secretly summoned his personal guards and had them quietly sneak to the city gates to open them.
The shifty-eyed advisor immediately made a prompt decision and shouted with a righteous expression, "Naturally, open the gates to welcome the Crown Prince!
Quickly open the gates! "
Governor Li cried out involuntarily, "Ah?"
The shifty-eyed advisor sternly said, "Old sir, if we don't open the gates to welcome the Crown Prince, what else can we do?
Could it be … that we can still rebel? "
This sentence immediately brought the idiot governor back to his senses.
Indeed!
Since the Crown Prince had appeared, those evil tricks were useless!
Because conspiracies could only be used in shameful places!
Who would dare to do anything to the Crown Prince in front of everyone?
Governor Li turned around and shouted, "Quickly open the gates to welcome the Crown Prince!"
Saying this, he seemed to be consoling himself as he said to the two advisors beside him, "His Highness has met me before, so he should still remember me!
Of course … "
Saying this, he continuously wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead, but he did not notice the sneers on the faces of the two advisors beside him.
One was filled with contempt, while the other was filled with disdain.
At this time, when the soldiers at the city gates heard the news of the Crown Prince's arrival, they had already begun to quietly gather at the city gates, preparing to open the gates.
This was because even they knew that the Crown Prince's arrival would definitely bring the hearts of the people and turn the situation around!
This was indeed the case!
These past few years, they had heard so much about the Crown Prince's wisdom that their ears had grown calluses. Now that they suddenly heard it, they were extremely excited and could not wait to see the Crown Prince's glory with their own eyes!
This was because that was their hope, that was their future.
Right now, Daqi seemed to be celebrating peace and prosperity, but in reality, it was like adding oil to a raging fire, with difficulties both internally and externally.
The Northwest had become an established fact, and taxes could not be collected in the Northwest. It was like a small independent kingdom. The Southeast had been drained of blood by the Dragon Soaring Sea, and the people gritted their teeth to bear the expenses of the millions of soldiers. The people were already boiling with resentment, and if it was not for the suppression of the army, they would have long rioted everywhere.
The North was occupied by the Spirited Mountains, and the Central Divine Religion had deep roots. Other places were also occupied by the cultivation sects!
And these cultivation sects … they did not pay taxes!
The imperial court maintained a huge expenditure, but the places with huge profits were divided by the cultivation sects and the great nobles, and not a single cent was handed over. In order to maintain the balance of expenditure, the imperial court had to increase taxes several times, and these taxes naturally fell on the large number of common people.
Until now, the common people really could not live happily anymore. If it was not for the fact that they would be instantly suppressed by the cultivation sects if they rebelled, they would have long risen in revolt!
It was only until the Crown Prince appeared out of nowhere, and tried his best to reform the government, and cut taxes for the common people that they saw hope again, and saw the future.
They all eagerly looked forward to the day when the Crown Prince could truly sit on the throne and sweep away all the corrupt officials. He would return them a bright world and let them live a truly good life!
Therefore, to them, they would never stop the Crown Prince. Not only would they not stop him, but they were also firm supporters of the Crown Prince.
At this time, they heard the order to open the gate, and shouted excitedly, "Open the gate! Open the gate!"
The strongmen with strong waists immediately turned the turntable and opened the city gate. As the city gate opened with a loud bang, the people inside and outside the city who could see the gate first cheered loudly. They all clapped and shouted, "Open the gate to welcome the crown prince!
Open the gate to welcome the Crown Prince! "
The people inside and outside the city also shouted loudly, and for a moment, the city of Taiyang was filled with cheers. The Crown Prince was surrounded by countless common people, and entered the city under countless hostile gazes. The common people around him spontaneously surrounded him, and kept a distance from him.
The crowd was like an ocean, like waves. The Crown Prince seemed to be walking on the waves, and wherever he went, the crowd would automatically part.
Li Chengfeng and Zhao Feiyue could not help but admire Zhao Hanqing's bravery, and how he single-handedly resolved the situation that was about to become a tragedy.
Li Chengfeng nodded. "I see. The Crown Prince's reputation is so high that if he stands out like this in broad daylight, those plots to assassinate him will not work.
That's a good idea, but it's too risky! "
Zhao Feiyue sighed, "Third Brother's prestige surpassed Imperial Father's in the second year of his reign, so Imperial Father groomed Fourth Brother to keep him in check. But he didn't expect Fourth Brother's power to expand to such a terrifying extent, and … his ambition is too great, his heart … is too hard!
That's … Third Brother we're talking about! "
Li Chengfeng laughed coldly. "There is no love in the royal family, and there are no fathers and sons in the royal family!
However, now that the Crown Prince has broken the situation with brute force, I don't think those people will assassinate the Crown Prince in broad daylight!
That's a good thing! "
Zhao Feiyue shook her head. "If it was just those cultivators trying to assassinate the Crown Prince, that would be the case. No one in this world would want to kill the Crown Prince in broad daylight, or they would be committing suicide!
But Palace Lord, have you forgotten that among the people who are after the Crown Prince … are the ten great devils?! "
Li Chengfeng froze!
That's right!
What did the ten great devils mean?
They were a bunch of demons who wanted to commit suicide!
Would they care about that?
No!
Even if all the common people were protecting Zhao Hanqing, they would still kill their way through! They would turn the world upside down, and blood would flow like a river!
