The medical concubine arrives: Prince, don't be arrogant

Chapter 395 Opening up a new path
"Because Linzhen no longer accepts refugees like us who fled. Only those who buy the government with money can have a place to live. Otherwise, they can only die here like them!"

As he spoke, the man wiped away his tears.

"We are all forced to do nothing. We have been hungry for so many days, and the people in the court don't want to take care of them. Those village officials who are empty-paid have long since disappeared. Who will take care of us who are about to starve to death? What about people?"

After hearing the man's words, King Jing's expression became more serious.

"You mean, these people have all been to Linzhen and then driven back?"

"That's right. Those who successfully moved to other places are all rich families. Penniless people like us can only wait here to die."

This famine has lasted for a month, but due to the biased terrain, no one in the capital knows the news at all.

In addition, the officials had already fled, and no one reported to the court, so the disaster has been delayed again and again, and it has become the severe situation it is today.

"Besides Linzhen, do you have any other places to go?"

There are so many innocent lives, it is impossible to sit idly by.

King Jing thought, first solve the problem of refugees, and then it will not be too late to go on the road.

He was sure that if Wang Yuetong knew about it, he would definitely think so.

"Yes, but they also need money, and I'm afraid they need more money."

"You mean the capital city?"

Seeing his embarrassed expression, King Jing guessed what he was thinking.

"Exactly. I know there is a road, and it only takes two days to get to the capital from here. However, the capital is very strict with people's inspections. People like us can't enter the city gate at all."

"If you have money, you can try to bribe the officers and soldiers guarding the city."

Hearing this, King Jing chuckled lightly.

"You think too simply."

It is impossible to bribe the officers and soldiers guarding the city, not to mention there are so many people here, plus they are a few foreigners, even if the officers and soldiers guarding the city were given ten courages, they would not dare to let anyone enter the city.

"What's so difficult about it, the few of us bought decent clothes on the road, enough to hide it from them!"

Seeing that King Jing had already been persuaded, the man tried to persuade him again.

"How many people? You never thought about bringing other people from the ruined temple with you, did you?"

"Um, I, I'm not afraid that you will find it troublesome, so I..."

The man blushed and faltered.

"Stop talking nonsense. You will lead the way tomorrow morning. When you get to the capital, I will have my own way to let you enter the city."

"Really? Are you really willing to take us with you?!"

His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, but also with some ecstasy.

"If I find anything wrong on the road..."

"Don't worry, son, don't worry, son! If you are willing to save my life, I am willing to repay you like a cow and a horse! My name is Chen Yuanzheng. If you have any orders in the future, just ask!"

Before the words of respecting the king were finished, Chen Yuanzheng couldn't wait to show his loyalty.

"Stop being glib, go back to sleep, and leave immediately tomorrow morning."

"Hey, that's right!"

In the morning of the second day, Chen Yuanzheng woke up earlier than anyone else, as if he was afraid that King Jing and the others would break their promise and run away secretly.

After he woke up, he woke up everyone and told everyone the good news.

When they were on the road, Wang Yuetong still looked at King Jing with a puzzled expression.

"Since just now, you have been staring at me, but what do you want to ask?"

Packing up his things and preparing to leave, King Jing suddenly turned his head and met Wang Yuetong's clear eyes.

"I'm just curious, why did you suddenly decide to take them with you when you woke up?"

King Jing sighed softly and told her everything that happened last night.

Hearing this, Wang Yuetong raised his eyes and glanced at the excited Chen Yuanzheng.

"This man knows a lot of news. Where did he hear it from?"

"There are many strange people in Jianghu, and he is the kind of person who is good at scouting gossip. With him leading the way, it can save a lot of time."

After all, the lord of the Nangong Empire is still waiting for them to go for treatment, so it's not good to delay too long on the road.

Looking at the refugees who were grateful to them, Wang Yuetong smiled silently, very satisfied with the way of respecting the king.

Along the way, this mighty group of people overcame all difficulties, so they worked hard and arrived in the capital within two days.

The capital is the power concentration place of the Nangong Empire, which is equivalent to the capital of the Shanxue Kingdom, and it is the most prosperous place in the country.

Sure enough, as Chen Yuanzheng expected, they had just reached the gate of the city when they were stopped by the guards.

"You guys, what are you doing, do you have any customs clearance advice?"

"This... we lost our customs clearance advice, sir, please do me a favor and let us enter the city!"

Fearing that King Jing could not handle this matter well, Chen Yuanzheng ran to the front and flattered the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

"If you haven't cleared the customs, even if you are the king of heaven, I can't accommodate you! Seeing that you are dressed like beggars, you don't know if you are sick. Get out of the way and don't block here. It's very bad luck!"

"Don't worry, sir, just look at this!"

With that said, Chen Yuanzheng took Wang Yuetong's jade hairpin and handed it to the guards.

"What is this thing, what are you doing to me? Haha, you don't want to send me with such a thing so that you can go in? Let me tell you, there is no way!"

With a bang, the jade hairpin was thrown to the ground hard and broke into several pieces.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers refused to accept their will, Chen Yuanzheng had no choice but to look at King Jing longingly.

King Jing didn't say a word about the arrogant and rude behavior of the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

He took out a token and handed it to him.

He took the token, and when he saw the words on it, he was dumbfounded, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"You, why do you have this brand, who are you?"

"You just said, can you let us in."

King Jing slowly opened his lips and said in a cold voice.

"Of course, of course... But, I have to check the authenticity of this brand first."

King Jing didn't say a word, the city guards only took him as acquiescence, and hurried into the city with a sign.

After a long time, the man still didn't come back, Chen Yuanzheng was in a hurry, even more anxious than King Jing and others.

"I said son, what kind of valuable item is that sign? He won't take it for himself, will he?"

"You just have to rest assured, he dare not."

Wang Yuetong had seen that sign earlier, it was given to King Jing by the head of the Nangong Empire, in order to help them enter the capital smoothly.
