Chapter 346
Bo Ling's heart sank—it's A Li, it's really A Li!

Armored soldiers pushed aside civilians on either side, clearing the middle of the road.

The refugees with their hands tied walked forward slowly.

Bai Ling struggled to squeeze away the onlookers in front of her, and she walked obliquely forward step by step, approaching the middle of the road.

A Li also saw Bai Ling who was approaching, he looked sideways in a panic, he wanted to tell Sister Bai Ling not to come over, but he was afraid that this call would bring more trouble to himself and Bai Ling.

Berlin finally squeezed to the front.

"A Li?" She walked slowly in the direction of the refugees, and shouted directly through the guards, "What's wrong with you? Why did they want to arrest you?"

"I'm fine!" Ah Li quickly replied, "They're not trying to arrest me, but they're going to take all the refugees in the city to a camp in the south of the city. I'm not a refugee. When I get there, I will Explain things clearly!"

Refugees?

The camp in the south of the city?
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and she looked sideways at A Li's back—these ragged men, women, and children were all moving forward slowly with bewildered expressions, and the flow of people behind him was endless.

"Why have I never heard of any camp in the south of the city?" Bai Ling asked, "What kind of camp?"

"I don't know either," A Li replied, "It seems that it was built in the past two days, specially for-"

The guard blocking the crowd on the side of the road frowned, and he raised his scabbard, "Where did you come from! You are not allowed to whisper to the refugees!"

Before his scabbard hit Bo Ling, the guard suddenly let out a strange cry, and the knife in his hand fell down - Bo Ling knew what happened without looking.

But she still retreated knowingly and stopped talking to Ah Li.

Bo Ling stood there and hesitated for a moment, and when she watched Ah Li walk six or seven steps forward, she frowned and followed.

In the crowded crowd, she simply threw away the obstructing food basket in her hand, and just silently followed the team of refugees from the outside.

The team headed south little by little, the people on the street became less and less, and the houses on both sides gradually became dilapidated.

A large piece of cloud floated from the distant sky covered the sunlight, the sky was gloomy, and it was afraid that it would rain again.

Along the way, ordinary people kept poking their heads out of their homes to watch, and then shrank back.

Bo Ling didn't know how long she had walked, nor how far she had walked. She went all the way until the stone brick road under her feet turned into a trampled dirt road. The smell of livestock manure and the smell of hay gradually filled the air. ——Until now, the city wall in the south of the city really fell into her field of vision.

She felt a little thirsty in her throat, but there was obviously no place for her to drink in this area.

For the first time, Bo Ling discovered that the city of Pingjing was so big that the lives of people were so different—if the courtyard in the back alley of his family was placed in the south of the city, it would probably be regarded as a decent house. Nice house.

It was at this time that Bo Ling finally saw the camp mentioned by A Li.

It was a simple land bordered by a rough wooden fence, which only surrounded a semicircle, and on the other side was the city wall to the south of the city.

It can be called a camp, probably only because dozens of tents are set up here.

Bo Ling watched Ah Li and a dozen people around him being pushed forward. The soldiers at the gate checked their clothes and belongings, then cut the ropes around the refugees' wrists, and redistributed them all. , went to different places.

After Ah Li and his group entered the camp, it was the turn of the dozen or so people who were tied up with ropes behind them.

——The former Ah Li obviously thought too well, thinking that someone in this place would listen to his explanation.

Bai Ling withdrew his gaze and walked half a circle around the camp, only to see that most of the refugees in the camp looked dazed and haggard.

The people inside were divided into different areas according to gender and age, but in each area, there were people sitting together in groups of three or four, watching the scene outside anxiously.

There are at least nearly a thousand people here.

The gatekeeper had noticed Bai Ling walking around for a long time—just because she was young and dressed cleanly, so he watched for a while, and when she saw her suspicious eyes, as if she was counting the number of tents here, the whistle Wei immediately rushed over with his troops.

Bo Ling noticed the movement here, and looked sideways.

She didn't run or hide, but walked in the direction of the sentinel.

……

In the tent near the entrance in the north of the camp, Prince Gong sat there with a calm expression, but the hands under his sleeves kept knocking on his knees.

Chen Yicong stood behind his father, eyes half down, without saying a word.

The tents here are almost separated from the camp, and special roads have been set up for the entrances and exits.It is a place reserved for officials to rest and work.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, someone opened the curtain and entered the tent, Prince Gong looked up, but saw that the person who came was not Zheng Mi, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion.

The man looked like a soldier down there, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the luxuriously dressed people in the room but didn't recognize them.

"What's wrong?" Prince Gong asked.

Before the soldier could open his mouth, Shaoyin Jingzhao hurried over from outside, and when he entered the door, he severely reprimanded the soldiers who broke in randomly, and repeatedly pleaded guilty to Prince Gong and the prince.

Hearing the two titles of "Prince" and "Shizi", the soldier was startled, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Prince Gong frowned slightly, "I asked, what's going on outside, just tell me."

"There was a girl who was sneaking around outside. She said she was from the palace. The officials didn't know what to do, so I came here to report... Please, ask for instructions."

"A person in the palace?" Prince Gong looked at that person, "What's his name?"

"Bai Ling," the man replied, "it is said to be the pharmacist of Chengqian Palace."

Chen Yicong suddenly raised his head.

Prince Gong glanced at his son, "Did she say what she's here for?"

"Well, she said that a friend of hers was also imprisoned in the camp. She came here specially for that friend and wanted to meet our Shangguan."

"...I am also waiting for the Shangguan here." Prince Gong lowered the corner of his mouth, "Where is Mr. Zheng?"

That Jingzhao Shaoyin's face was a little ugly, "Your Excellency is still in prison to interrogate important criminals, please, my lord..."

"The king can wait, but the emperor can't wait." Prince Gong said coldly, "He must give an explanation before midnight tonight. It is useless to hide. If Mr. Zheng is really busy, this king can go to see him in prison."

"No, no, Mr. Zheng said that he will definitely come within an hour. It has been half an hour now. Please be patient and give Mr. Zheng some more time."

Prince Gong took a deep breath, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

"Go and invite that Bai Siyao outside to come in and wait together."
