Chapter 166 Meow, Life Is Like Grass

"Hey." Li Hua put down the melon seeds in her hand, "It doesn't taste that delicious anymore."

"Boss, the restaurant is closed. Chef Xing made a table of new dishes for us as a supper, and let us review them by the way." The small pot walked towards the lobby with a tray, and called Li Hua casually.

"Eat, I'm tired today." Li Hua picked up the drawer and purse on the table and went upstairs.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Old Hu also held two large trays in his hand, staring at Lihua going upstairs step by step, bumping Xiaohu's shoulder and asked curiously.

Usually when I hear about trying new dishes, the boss is the first one to rush forward, and when he meets a favorite dish, he even takes the whole pot away, why is it so strange today.

"Who knows?" Xiaohu shrugged: "Maybe I'm really tired, let's go, I have to clean up after eating."

"So it's not indifferent." After a busy night, Lan Sheng leaned against the tree, looked at the closed door and whispered, "So, won't the impact be less in the future?"

"Old Hu, are there more refugees on the street today?" The small pot removed the door panel, and the light instantly penetrated into the room, heralding that today is another new day.

The sun shines on the clean stone streets. At this time, the streets should be empty, but there are already people wandering around.They all have one thing in common, ragged clothes, and a terrible complexion.It seems that it has been a long time since I had a good sleep and a meal.

Although the streets of Yidu have stepped on street sleepers from time to time since five years ago, it has never been like today. There are more than [-] people gathered in a short street. When they heard the sound of the restaurant opening, their eyes lit up and stared straight at the street. Looking in the direction of Zhaocai Restaurant, it seemed as if they wanted to skin them and cramp them.

"It's a little too much." Lao Hu and Xiaohu put all the door panels indoors instead of randomly placing them outside as usual.I was really afraid of being stolen these days, the door panels were like sweet pastry, they were left outside, and there was not a single door panel left in just one lunch.

"And the light in their eyes is not right." For a plant demon with a pure heart, he is most sensitive to changes in people's emotions.If the eyes of those refugees before were cautious, then the eyes now are filled with the desire for food and shelter.If these two things are not handled properly, then the conflict is not insignificant.

"Well, be careful." Xiaohu nodded: "I will tell the young city master later."

For Lao Hu's ability in this area, Xiao Hu firmly believed in it. How many times, they relied on Lao Hu's intuition to avoid one danger after another.

At this time, at the gate of Yidu City, a dense group of people lined up and meandered into the small woods.Instead of the hustle and bustle of yesterday, he looked numb. The team moved forward a little, and the people behind moved forward a little.

"My lord, since the opening of the city gate at the fifth watch, 2000 victims have already entered the city. Judging by the posture, the city gate is opened wide like this today. If there are no 1 people, [-] people will enter the city."

"En." The red-robed official who was summoned put the binoculars in his hand into the hands of his entourage, and said in a solemn tone: "You tell the people below to be alert, and the five hundred guards who have been transferred will arrive soon. .”

"That…"

"I'll go into the palace." The man hurriedly came down from the tower: "The capital is under the feet of the emperor, if something happens, we will lose our heads."

"Yes, my lord." The attendant also understood the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly assured him: "It will definitely not be chaotic."

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the five hundred city guards played a certain deterrent effect, but as time went by, the five hundred city guards were like a mantis in front of more than 3 victims.If the disaster victims riot, then the city guards must be dead souls under their feet.

"Report." The guard riding a horse through the busy city, holding a yellow scroll, had no time to catch his breath, went up to the tower a few steps, and stuffed the yellow scroll into the hands of his entourage: "The emperor has ordered to withdraw the city guards, The door is temporarily closed for half a day."

"Are you sure to close for half a day?" The attendant opened the yellow scroll as if he didn't believe it, and read the holy meaning word by word, but his brows furrowed: "What should I do?"

What reason should he use to withdraw the guards outside the gate to maintain order? If it is not serious, if the victims notice something strange, it is a matter of life.

After meditating for a while, the entourage beckoned to the guards to wear the same outfit and go for a walk outside the city, saying that they wanted to change their defenses.

"Will this work?" The guard showed reluctance on his face, he was only in charge of summons, and he didn't want to cause a commotion.

"Then what do you think can be done?" The entourage is also single, and now all of them are grasshoppers tied to a rope. If they want to be safe and sound, they need special measures in special circumstances.

The guards stood on the tower and looked down. There was a mass of human heads winding into the small forest. There might be countless victims in the forest.He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Forget it, let's go all out."

"All the city guards obey the order and return to the city. The central city guard obeys the order and change defense and return to the city." The guards rode on horses, holding yellow scrolls in their hands, causing the victims to back away in fear, leaving a way for him .

The city guards obeyed the order and ran into the city neatly. Although they had many doubts in their hearts, they also knew that the current situation was not right, so they just obeyed the order and drove.

The bulky city gate was slowly pushed shut after the last guard entered.Realizing that the situation was wrong, the victims crowded into the city gate one after another, but they were all poked out by the soldiers in the city with gun handles. Ignoring the loud howls outside the city, the moment the city gate was closed, all The soldiers felt relieved.

There are two worlds inside and outside the door, one side is full of mourning, and the other side is very beautiful with singing and dancing.

"My lord, what should we do now?" The guard helped to make such a move, and he felt very unbearable. He also came from a poor background and knew how important it is to have a chance to survive.

"Wait." The attendant looked in the direction of the imperial city. Your lord has been in the palace for two hours, and there should be regulations coming out.

It is impossible for the city gate of Yidu to remain closed, and it is impossible for the victims outside the gate to disperse. If there is no solution today, no one can guarantee what will happen to Yidu tomorrow.

"So, your majesty asked me to use my supernatural powers?" Li Hua pointed at the tip of her nose, her eyes filled with disbelief.

At this moment, she had to wonder whether Xiuze's father had lost his senses when he became the crown prince, and the disaster victims flooded in. He actually wanted to rely on magical powers to appease the victims first.

It is true that the world fears the gods, but what the gods bring is only comfort in the heart. At this time, what the victims of the disaster need more is to have a good meal and a place to stay.

The person who came to summon the interrogation heard Li Hua's questioning, with an embarrassed expression on his face. When he heard the emperor's strong support for this approach, he wished he could go up and block the emperor's mouth.It's a pity that there is a difference between the monarch and his ministers. He has the courage to do such a rebellious thing.But not opposed, does not mean support ah.

"Is there any plan for the follow-up?" Li Hua nodded her chin and asked the following.

"No." The person who came shook his head and buried his head in his chest, wishing that he could not come down from the city wall today and be trampled to death by the victims, rather than being despised here.
