Li Chengfeng and Zhao Feiyue were hidden in the crowd. Their disguises were not very eye-catching, so no one would notice them at this juncture.
At this time, the refugees were divided into four groups. Due to the arrival of the Crown Prince, the entire Taiyang City's bureaucracy was operating efficiently.
Zhao Bairen was muddle-headed and incompetent. He appointed people through nepotism. Naturally, the officials under him were not very diligent either. They were either scraping the land three feet from the ground, committing adultery, or muddling through their days. Moreover, the governor, Li Tian, was such a person. One could only imagine the efficiency of government affairs in Taiyang City.
However, with the Crown Prince's arrival, these officials were all on high alert. They knew that if anything were to go wrong, losing their jobs was a small matter. Losing their lives was a big deal.
The four groups of refugees were placed in four corners of the city. However, due to the large number of people and the small size of Taiyang City, not all of the refugees could enter the city. Some of them had to be placed outside the city.
Li Chengfeng and Yuehan were lucky enough to enter the city and were placed in the same district, the West District.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, there were not that many slums in the city that could be arranged, so they could only settle in an empty area. For a moment, the place was filled with people. The cries of children, the quarrels of parents, the whispers of young couples, and the shouts of officials gathered together. It was noisy and noisy.
What Li Chengfeng and Yuehan did not know was that they were placed in a slum less than a hundred meters away from each other.
Little Zhu was still young, so she did not know what it meant to suffer. Even if she had to travel a long way, even if she had no roof over her head, even if there was no hot food in her bowl, she did not feel bitter at all. She only widened her eyes and looked around curiously, occasionally asking her parents questions.
"Dad, what kind of official is the Crown Prince?
Is he big?
Is he as big as the Prefecture Chief? "
"Dad, Dad, look! That's Little Winter Melon's family! They're here too!
Hehe, Little Winter Melon is smiling at me! "
"Dad, Dad!
They said the Crown Prince is the most powerful official in the world!
Is he even more powerful than the Emperor?
Hey, why are you covering my mouth?
Did Little Zhu say something wrong?
Oh, I know. Is the Crown Prince as powerful as the Grand Tutor?
Huh?
Isn't the Grand Tutor an official?
What was the Imperial Preceptor?
Then, who is the Imperial Preceptor or the Crown Prince?
The Imperial Preceptor University?
Then why not seek help from the Imperial Tutor?
Why did you ask the Crown Prince for help?
Didn't the Imperial Tutor care about this?
If he doesn't do anything, why do you still worship him? "
Xiao Zhu was innocent and her questions made the shopkeeper sweat profusely. He could not help but have a thought, "That's right, the Grand Tutor usually doesn't care about anything, why should we worship him?"
But as soon as this thought popped up, the shopkeeper felt that it was a great disrespect. He quickly and quietly slapped himself twice in an attempt to drive this thought out of his mind.
Worshipping the Imperial Teacher was a deep-rooted tradition in the Da Qi Kingdom. It had been passed down for three to four hundred years. Commoners like them were taught to worship the Imperial Teacher from the moment they were born. They had to believe in God's religion. That way, they would have a good life.
Indeed, many people said that it was all thanks to the Imperial Preceptor that the Great Qi Kingdom had enjoyed two to three hundred years of peace. With the invincible Imperial Preceptor keeping watch over the Divine Capital, the barbarians in all directions were all beheaded, and all countries submitted to him.
No one in the cultivation world believed this. Even a martial artist like Li Chengfeng did not believe it. The war in the Southeast was the best proof. Otherwise, why didn't the Imperial Teacher go there personally to kill the barbarians and make all the countries submit?
But the commoners believed it!
The lies that had been passed down for many years became the truth. Gradually, it became an unchallengeable belief in the commoners.
The shopkeeper broke out in cold sweat and chased Xiao Zhu away. Xiao Zhu pouted and ran to the Lady Boss to ask all sorts of questions.
The Lady Boss was beautiful, so she went to the charity office to gather information and collect clothes and food. Commoners were often willing to talk to her or give her more food because of her beauty.
Little Bamboo followed the lady boss like a little tail and asked, "Mother, mother, which is bigger, Taiyang City or our Yuanjin City?"
"Mother, when can we go home?"
"Mother, Mother, can Xiao Zhu sleep with Sister Yuehan tonight?"
"Mother, Mother, why don't you like Sister Yuehan?
Oh, you've always liked her?
But Xiao Zhu always thought that Mother didn't like Sister Yuehan.
Yes, Mother is right!
Sister Yue Han was the best. She bought delicious food for Little Zhu, carried Little Zhu on his way, and protected him!
Xiao Zhu likes her the most! "
The Lady Boss suddenly felt a tinge of jealousy in her heart. She felt that Yuehan was sent by the heavens to deal with her. Ever since Yuehan arrived, her husband's eyes couldn't help but wander around her. Now, even her own daughter was circling around Yuehan.
Was she the reincarnation of a vixen?
After seducing her husband, she wanted to seduce her daughter away?
But that was not the end of it. Xiao Zhu continued to chatter like a lively little sparrow and asked, "Mother, mother, there are so many people here. What if some bad people come and kidnap you like they did to Sister Yuehan? What should we do?
Oh?
The Crown Prince is here?
Why do bad people not dare to do bad things when the Crown Prince is here?
Oh, the Crown Prince is so powerful?
Then Xiao Zhu will have to believe in the Crown Prince and not the Grand Tutor!
Ah, Mother, why did you hit me?
Did Xiao Zhu say something wrong?
Since the Grand Tutor doesn't care about things, and the Crown Prince is so powerful, why don't we worship the Grand Tutor instead? "
The Lady Boss was stunned. She had the same thought as the shopkeeper: Yes, why do we have to worship the Grand Tutor even if the Grand Tutor doesn't care about things?
Similarly, when this thought popped up, she felt guilty and disrespectful. She quickly glared at Xiao Zhu and chased her away. "Go find your Sister Yuehan!"
Little Zhu pouted as she went to look for Yuehan. Along the way, her little legs were flying, and from time to time, she would turn her head to look around curiously. Everything around her was very fresh to her eyes. She sprinted to the main road, and just as she turned her head to look at the owner of a large family, who was loudly scolding a servant who was loading the rations into the carriage, she did not notice that a carriage carrying rations was speeding towards them, and there was a cry of surprise from all around.
"Watch out!!"
"Stop!
Stop right now!! "
Xiao Zhu turned her head and was shocked to find that the carriage was already in front of her. The coachman pulled on the reins in fear. The horse in front reared up, its hooves as big as the mouth of a bowl dancing in the air. It looked like it was going to trample Xiao Zhu to the ground and turn her into a meat paste.
Little Zhu's mind was a complete blank as she stood there in a daze. She did not even hear the shouts coming from the side. She only felt a gust of wind coming from the side, and a strong force wrapped around her. Then, she flew out like she was riding on a cloud.
When she woke up again, she found herself in the arms of a handsome big brother. He was looking down at her with a smile on his face. It was very comforting. His voice was very melodious. "Are you alright?"
The carriage on the street finally stopped. Gasps and sighs could be heard all around. "Thank goodness!"
Xiao Zhu's face was a little red. She struggled a little and jumped down from the young man's arms. Then she bowed and said, "Thank you, big brother, for saving my life. I haven't asked for big brother's name yet!"
The young man stroked her hair. "I'm Li Chengfeng, are you Xiao Zhu?"
Xiao Zhu giggled. "Yes, yes, they've always called me that since I was young!
You can call me Xiao Zhu too! "
Li Chengfeng liked this innocent little girl from the bottom of his heart. He grinned. "Where are your parents?
Why are you running around alone?
It's not safe now, don't run away! "
"The Crown Prince is here, of course it's safe!
Even the bad guys won't dare show up! "
Li Chengfeng smiled and nodded. "Are you from Taiyang?"
Xiao Zhu shook her head, the two braids behind her head swaying. "No, I'm from Yuanjin."
Li Chengfeng picked Little Bamboo up and smiled. "So where are you going to be?
Big Brother will send you back, alright? "
Little Bamboo's face was flushed. She smiled and said, "Okay, okay!
Big Brother, you're such a nice person! "
As she spoke, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Big Brother, do you like my Sister Yuehan too? You're so nice to me because you want to woo her?"
Li Chengfeng's ears exploded like a clap of thunder. The name struck his heart like a bolt of lightning from the Nine Heavens!
Sister Yuehan?
