Life Master in the End Times

Chapter 481: Natural Disaster and War-torn World 29
Ling Xue found that many fleeing people spontaneously followed Ling Xue's team, trying to rub against the Shen family's guards.

They didn't follow closely, and there was still a short distance from the guards behind them.The road is not Ling Xue's, can she still stop others from walking?
Shen Zhen once asked Ling Xue this question: "There are more and more refugees following behind, do you want to drive them away?"

Ling Xue felt that there was no need to waste that effort: "The ones following now are just relatively honest refugees. They follow our team because they are afraid of being robbed. As long as they don't affect us, there is no need to talk to them at all."

"Well, Shen Zhen also knew what Ling Xue meant, so he didn't ask people to drive them away, but just ordered people to keep an eye on them, lest anything happen!"

After walking for a month, they came to the boundary of Fucheng. Unfortunately, Fucheng did not allow them to enter.

Ling Xue was quite speechless, this has not become a mess yet, what is the reason why the prefect of Fucheng refuses to enter?
After a while, Ling Xue knew the reason.

The prefect of Fucheng wants to take this opportunity to collect tolls!

Refugees must pass through Fucheng to escape. If he doesn't open the door and let you go, you really can't make it through.

The guards clearly marked the price, 2 taels of silver per person.

Is it too much?

Not much, but for ordinary refugees, that is a sky-high price.

If there are ten people in the family, it would be 20 taels. According to the current consumption level, 2 taels of silver would be enough for them to live for a year. How could they afford so much money?
Lingxue rode a horse and led the guards and convoy to the gate of the city. The refugees surrounding the gate of the city avoided far away, so Lingxue and the others walked unimpeded.

The difference in gatekeeping is frightening. Which army is this coming?

Going to war?

Taking a closer look, the character on the flag was Shen, and they were a little confused. Which general was surnamed Shen?
It's no wonder that the guards admitted their mistakes, Ling Xue and the others were uniformly dressed, with tall horses and flags fluttering, really looked like some army was coming.

As for the convoy and the people behind them, they didn't care about it. Even if they saw them, they regarded them as supplies for the army, and they didn't find it strange at all.

Ordinarily, ordinary people are not allowed to carry weapons at this time, but there is a mess everywhere, and no one cares about it.Of course, even if someone is in charge, it's not easy for Ling Xue to listen.

Sometimes the front and back ends of a section of road are the spheres of two influences, and it doesn't matter to listen to anyone, Lingxue simply made a rule and only listened to her own.

This is better to direct.

The magistrate was almost frightened when he heard the guard's report, and almost ran away immediately, so someone came to attack them?
This magistrate is not a full-fledged corrupt official. He is usually a little bit greedy. Now that the troubled times are about to start, he probably wants to collect more money for himself!
The magistrate forced the commander to inquire, but was stopped by the concubine.

"Hey, my lord, what time is it now, why don't you hurry up and run away, don't you still want to die for your country?"

The magistrate was already a little flustered, but he was dumbfounded when he heard the concubine's words: "Why did I die for the country, your lord?"

The concubine clapped her hands and said excitedly: "Not yet martyred? My younger brother just came over from the gate of the city, but he said that the little general who came this time was surnamed Shen. He was riding a tall horse and carrying a treasured sword. I'm getting impatient, I'm afraid I'm going to kill him soon!"

The magistrate believed it as soon as he heard it, and he arranged for the younger brother of the concubine to collect money at the gate of the city. He has always been clever, and his words are still very credible.

The magistrate is in a hurry, and he will start packing up his belongings immediately!
