It was twenty miles outside the city, not that far away.
Lin Muyu carried Wei Qiu and flew there through the wind and snow.
It's still dark, and the north wind is blowing, as sharp as a knife.
On the official road from Lanyan City to Cangnan Province, a group of Forbidden Army cavalry were already there.
Feng Jixing came earlier.
After all, his Forbidden Army camp was closer to here and he lived alone, so he had nothing to worry about.
Torches were fluttering in the wind, and a fleet of war supplies was parked on the side of the road, loaded with clumsy steam cars.
Lin Muyu landed in the air, and a group of soldiers around him saluted: "See Commander Lin."
"Brother Feng, what's going on?"
Lin Muyu asked.
Feng Jixing shielded the wind and snow with his hands, turned around and pointed at the official road and said: "Someone deliberately blocked the official road with stones.
Three cars overturned and the accompanying cavalry team also killed more than a dozen people.
It is tentatively confirmed.
It was the hungry refugees nearby who gathered to rob the army, and Zhang Wei had already led the guards to capture the culprits. " On the side, Guanxing said respectfully: "It's freezing cold, and people without food will indeed gather together and become rioters under the force of hunger.
I hope Lin Shuai won't go on a killing spree.
After all, these are just human lives."
"I know, but even if you are hungry, you cannot plunder the empire's military rations.
These are supplies used to protect our country."
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "I don't need to use the death penalty, but the empire's constitution is waiting for them.
"Brother Feng, where did Zhang Wei take people to arrest him?"
"It's in a village five miles away.
Do you want to go too?"
"Well, let's go take a look."
Lin Muyu looked at the supply vehicles stationed in the wind and snow with stern eyes, and said: "Wei Chou, you stay and lead people to move the boulders and keep the roads open.
The food roads must be unobstructed, otherwise everyone will have to fight on an empty stomach. ” "Yes, Lin Shuai" Lin Muyu took the reins from a Gentian Battalion soldier, turned over and mounted the unknown war horse, and then Hefeng Jiexing led dozens of cavalrymen out of the official road and galloped into the forest trails.
Here No one has cleaned it for a long time, and the snow is about half a meter deep, which greatly affects the speed of the war horses.
When a small village appeared in the field of vision, it was already dawn, but the sun could not be seen because although the snow had become smaller, it still had not stopped.
Slowly walking along the path in the village, Lin Muyu looked at the houses on both sides.
Most of them were thatched houses.
The roofs were almost collapsed by the heavy snow.
On the roadside, there were frozen bodies.
There are corpses, and there are faintly visible horse hoof prints on the snow, which should be the traces left by Zhang Wei and others.
In the center of the village, Zhang Wei was found.
The deputy commander of the Forbidden Army was holding a steel knife in his hand and had ordered nearly fifty civilians to be tied up and tied to a rope.
"See Commander Lin, see Commander Feng."
Zhang Wei turned over and dismounted from his horse to salute.
"No need to be polite."
Lin Muyu raised her hand and said: "Lao Zhang, get up, how is the situation?"
"I reported to Marshal Lin.
Basically, everyone has been caught.
They confessed.
Among them, the village chief took the lead in killing.
Our cavalry captain who was responsible for transporting was stabbed to death by him with a fork used to turn the grass."
"snort" Lin Muyu dismounted and walked in front of the 40-year-old village chief, only to see his eyes staring at her, not in awe, but in hatred.
"It's okay if you rob food and grass, why do you have to kill people?"

Lin Muyu asked.
The village chief's eyes were cold: "If we don't kill them, they will kill us."
"Even so, do you think what you are doing is really right?"
"In order to survive, what's right?
It's death anyway, so why not give it a try?"
The village chief's eyes flashed with fire, and he said: "It seems that your official position is very big, who are you?"
"Lin Muyu."
"Ah, it's Marshal Lin, it's Marshal Lin Muyu of the Empire."
A group of villagers with their hands tied all looked shocked.
But the village chief's expression was still very ferocious, and he sneered: "I think the Imperial Marshal is just a guard dog."
"Presumptuous" Zhang Wei raised the steel knife and said: "You don't want to live anymore" Lin Muyu raised his hand: "Don't do anything, let him finish."
The village chief sneered and said: "It has been snowing continuously for more than a month.
How many people in Lingbei Province have starved to death?
But, how many of you officials have opened the warehouses to store grain?
Look at the grain in the car."
It is enough to save many people, but you are using this food to fight.
You would rather starve to death than save the people of the empire, but you are using this food to fight.
What else do you, Lin Muyu, know other than fighting?"
Lin Muyu frowned and did not refute.
Feng Jixing raised his eyebrows and said, "Then, this is the reason why you rob food and kill people."
The village chief laughed loudly: "Yes, this is my reason.
Our emperor, our empress, would rather go to war with this food than care about the life and death of her people.
Is such an empress worthy of the loyalty of the people in the world?"
Lin Muyu said calmly: "Just scold me, don't blaspheme His Highness, otherwise no one can save you.
Many days ago, His Highness had issued a holy edict ordering the governments of various prefectures and counties to release grain to relieve the people.
This holy edict I saw it with my own eyes, why don’t you go to the county government to ask for help?”
"help" The village chief smiled and said: "Those officials only care about their own enjoyment.
Who will really help us ordinary people?
Besides, how much food can the local government have?
How can it be possible to save so many people?
But if you no longer Go to war and give the people food to survive this winter.
This will save the people of the world.
This is what a wise king does."
Feng Jixing's eyes were cold and he held the handle of the Red Phoenix Sword in his hand.
He really wanted to chop the man in front of him with one knife.
But Lin Muyu was still patient and said: "Do you think this severe winter will really last only three months?
Do you think that if we don't go to war with the Shang Kingdom, they won't attack us?
The massacre of the city in Lingkong Province has only been a few days."
Years ago, you have all forgotten that our opponent is a jackal.
I must keep my soldiers well-fed in order to face the powerful enemy."
"I don't listen to these big principles," the village chief scolded impatiently: "I only know that if I don't have enough to eat, I will rebel.
What you do is just prestige and status.
All you want is the world and the country.
He has no regard for the life and death of us common people, so stop being pretentious, kill or behead as you wish."
"Keng" Lin Muyu stopped talking, the Xuanyuan Sword was already in his hand, and the cold blade was pressed straight against the opponent's neck.

The chill from the sword had already made the village chief's neck stiff, and a boundless sense of fear instantly spread.
All over his body.
"you you" "Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
Lin Muyu said in an extremely calm voice, "Yes, with my power and status, I can indeed regard you as an ant in my eyes, but I don't.
I am willing to put down my attitude.
In a conversation with you on an equal footing, why are you so aggressive?
A common citizen, but what you are talking about is just your own selfish desire.
You cannot represent the common people in the world, you can only represent yourself.
The crimes you have committed will be judged by the imperial constitution, and I am just a law enforcer. , I will not overstep the Constitution, and you cannot be above the Constitution."
After saying that, Lin Muyu seemed a little tired, sheathed her long sword, and said: "Zhang Wei, take them to the Fire Bird Division, and after detailed questioning, hand them over to the Congress for disposal."
"Yes, Lin Shuai" Feng Ji walked forward, patted Lin Muyu's shoulder lightly, and said, "Ayu, don't be angry with yourself."
"I don't."
Lin Muyu looked at the footprints in the snow with a pair of clear eyes and said: "Over the years, I have been used to not being understood so many times, and what he said makes sense.
War is indeed based on trampling on humanity and equality. of."
At this moment, the village chief, whose hands were tied, suddenly stopped and turned around and said loudly: "Lin Muyu, do you really have to fight?
Do you know how many people will die?
If you insist on having your own way, then you are just an executioner. , a murderer king, you are not a famous general, nor a hero who will be famous throughout the ages, you are just an executioner."
Lin Muyu's eyes turned red and she said calmly: "Don't worry about this.
What kind of person I am will naturally be judged by history and future generations.
Zhang Wei, take them away immediately."
"Yes, Lin Shuai" Zhang Wei galloped on his horse, dragging the village chief along with him.
Feng Jixing pressed the handle of the knife, blew the falling snow off his eyelashes, and said, "Ayu, do you want to kill this fly on the road again?"
"No."
Lin Muyu nodded and smiled: "Brother Feng, your bureaucracy is a bit serious."
"Is it serious?"
Feng Jixing grinned and said: "I am the commander of the Forbidden Army, commanding a hundred thousand soldiers, and the deputy commander of the empire.
I hold military and political power.
Shouldn't people be happy with their grudges while living?
Those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish.
Like The kid just now has died a hundred million times in other novels.”
Lin Muyu looked disgusted: "The Congress was established with our consent, and the order was also established by us.
We must abide by the rules we set, otherwise we will really become a bad guy.
As for what this person said, I don't understand it at all.
Mind you, there are too many things he doesn’t know, which is why he talks like this without knowing anything.”
"Oh how to say" "For example, he can't unify the Broken Cauldron Realm and the Tianji Continent, and bring the two continents into peaceful rule.
This is something he can't do, so he doesn't want others to do it.
Some things have to be done by someone, and all he wants in his heart is What's left is jealousy and hatred.
This is a villain's mentality.
Why should I care about him?"
Feng Jixing couldn't help but laugh: "Ayu, your state of mind is indeed beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
Look at your radiant face.
Is it last night?
Hehehehe."
"Damn, what do you mean by hey hey?"
"You know it" "I won't argue with you anymore, let's go, go back to the imperial capital, and continue to urge the various states and counties to release grain for disaster relief.

I don't believe that this gentleman really doesn't care about the life and death of the people and continues to collect grain."
"Well, it is indeed necessary to send special envoys to various places
