She has heard that those who enter and leave the city must undergo strict body searches and interrogation, and they cannot stay longer in the city.

If they were caught, there is no guarantee that they would not be searched in the same way.

When the time comes, revealing one's identity is a small thing, but losing one's integrity is a big one.

Li Huang moved his chin, thought for a while, and hooked his fingers at her.

Ling Yuan obediently put her ear close to her, and she lowered her voice and said, "If someone dares to search your body tomorrow, you will be like this..."

Ling Yuan blinked, and looked at her master: "Your Highness, is it possible to say this? What if it is someone who can go all out?"

Li Huang shook his head: "No, those who do bad things are always guilty, presumably they don't want these things to reach the ears of the court."

The so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.

As long as they are not afraid, those people dare not gamble.

The next day.

The master and the servant pretended to be two men. Although their bodies were thinner, after they painted their faces waxy and waxy, and paired them with coarse clothes, they immediately turned into two poor people who couldn't eat enough. common people.

The two of them came out of the inn through the window, and they deliberately strolled on the street early in the morning, as if they were afraid that others would not see them.

In fact, in the sparsely populated streets, the two of them are still very eye-catching, and the eyeliners of the government can almost see them at a glance.

However, since they are new faces, they still want to observe again.

It wasn't until they stopped in front of a steamed bun shop for a long time that they finally bought a steamed bun and had to break it into two pieces to share, and those people moved.

After acting for a long time, finally someone was willing to walk towards them, and Li Huang was slightly relieved.

She was still wondering if they didn't express the word "poor" clearly enough, so those people didn't dare to go forward.

After all, if they come from other places, if they have money or something to do, if they arrest the wrong person, then they will be in trouble.

Just as they were thinking, someone patted their shoulders from behind.

"Where are you two from?"

Ling Yuan swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns, and said timidly: "My lord, we are from Pengcheng. There was a flood in our hometown, and our houses and crops were flooded. If our brothers were not lucky, they would also be washed away by the flood. "

"Fortunately, I got my life back, but we don't have money on us, so we can't go back, so we begged all the way here."

The officer and soldier looked them up and down, and found that they were so thin that they could be crushed to death with one hand, so they even laughed.

"Since you have nothing to eat, how about I give you a bite of food?"

The eyes of both master and servant lit up when they heard the words, and asked in unison: "Really?"

When the officers and soldiers saw that they were hooked, the smiles on their faces became even brighter.

"Of course it's true. As long as you work hard, not only will you not die of hunger, but you can also earn some travel expenses. When the flood in Pengcheng is cured, you can go home."

Ling Yuan and Li Huang glanced at each other quickly, then nodded wildly at the officer and soldier.

It looked like he had really encountered a life-saving straw.

The officer waved his hand: "Come with me."

The two bowed their waists and followed behind timidly. Ling Yuan asked as she walked, "Master, isn't the place where the land works is in this town?"

The man replied: "Not here, what kind of decent work can there be in this small place? You just follow the young master."

Li Huang asked: "How far is it? Our brothers are really tired and hungry, we can't walk anymore, can the official reward you with a steamed bun first?"

The officer and soldier looked back at them, took two steamed buns from the bundle and threw them to them.

"Eat quickly. If you eat slowly, you won't be able to catch up with the work. There are many people who should work."

Li Huang took the steamed buns, and each of them and Ling Yuan gnawed on one.

If the ladies in the capital saw this, their eyes would pop out.

Who would have thought that the majestic eldest princess of a country would really make people unable to tell the truth from the fake when it came into play.

After eating the steamed buns, several people continued on their way.

Fortunately, the town is only a dozen miles away from Lishui, and it takes only an hour to walk there.

When they arrived, there were already many people lined up at the gate of the city.

Those were all captured as strong men, and the soldiers guarding the city were searched and interrogated, and they were really very cautious.

Finally it was Li Huang and Ling Yuan's turn, they looked at each other, Ling Yuan hooked the soldier's neck and walked to the side.

After making sure that no one else could hear them, she whispered: "Brother, just for your convenience, our brother came here from a refugee, and we are all wounded. I'm afraid we haven't entered the city for a while to do this kind of body search." If we live, we will have wounds fester and die."

As she spoke, she coughed weakly a few times.

"We heard that you are secretly digging gold mines in Lishui City, so we came here. If you can't give us this convenience, then we have no choice but to make these things known to the whole Dayuan."

The soldier glared at her: "You...you are threatening me!"

Ling Yuan hooked the man's neck again, with a very familiar look: "The villain dares to threaten you, it's really for your own good, our brothers haven't bathed for many days, and there are festering wounds on our bodies. One, if I get sick, I will give you..."

"Hey, you guys want to gather the number of people, and we want to share a meal, each takes what he needs, it's convenient."

As soon as the soldier heard that she was still sick, he immediately took her hand away and moved away from her.

But what she said was right, those who guard the city gates, those who arrest the strong men are responsible for arresting people to make up the number, and they are only responsible for ensuring that they are not in danger, that's all.

"Okay, you go in quickly, don't let anyone know that I let you go later."

The soldier waved his hand in disgust, turned his head and returned to his seat.

Ling Yuan thanked her repeatedly, and dragged Li Huang to the city.

In the city, there was already an official who was in charge of responding to them, and when the soldiers questioned them clearly, they took them away like ducks.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Li Huang looked around like an ignorant bumpkin.

The officers and soldiers in charge of driving them away could not help but warn aloud: "Then boy, what are you looking at? You will see it when you reach the ground later."

Li Huang looked frightened, shrank her neck and followed the crowd of people forward.

The entire Lishui City is similar to the small town just now. There are basically no people on the street, and the shops are also closed.

Occasionally one or two inns are open, but no one is staying.

The innkeeper flung himself on the counter and sighed.

This scene really hurt Li Huang's heart.

Even if the city under Dayuan's rule is not very rich, it should be able to live and work in peace and contentment.

But what did she see along the way?
A large number of women fled abroad with their burdens on their backs, as if there were some scourge in the city that gave birth to them.
