Chapter 201 Di Ying: Can I hit him?

When he walked onto the streets of Lucheng, Li Lingge could already see the victims lying on the streets.

These people came to the city early and were considered relatively lucky.

Now, a large number of disaster victims have gathered outside Lucheng City and cannot get in.

Diwu Xuanji stayed in Tangjiabao and Tang Palace to count the valuables in the secret vault, so he took the opportunity to come out and take a look.

Jiang Li had to eliminate the 300,000 troops of the Western Zhou Dynasty in Jiangnan Road before he could lead his troops south.

Tang Wei has been killed, so he can only stay in Tangjiabao and wait for the time being.

[The son of destiny has been detected, Bai Ji! ]

【Mortal flow! 】

Hearing the system prompt, Li Lingge's eyes immediately fell on the little beggar who was being stepped on the ground and beaten.

He immediately opened the Eye of Fortune, but after seeing the little beggar's fortune clearly, he couldn't help but wonder if there was a bug in the system.

That little beggar has only 40 luck points.

Can this kind of luck be called the son of luck?

Or is this a characteristic of mortals?

'System, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?'

Li Lingge checked again and found that it was indeed only 40.
'This is the unluckiest child I have ever met.'

[The test results of this system are provided by Tiandao! ]

Li Lingge: …

"How dare you steal my buns? Why don't you ask how many eyes the Horse King has!"

A tall man was stepping on the little beggar and beating him hard on the head with every kick, without any mercy.

The little beggar curled up, buried his head in his arms and let the man beat him.

She held the bun in her arms tightly with both hands, and did not let go even when she was kicked and bruised.

Uh--

The little beggar uttered a suppressed scream, and the sturdy man raised his foot and stepped hard on her throat.

"You think you can eat my buns just by getting beaten up? It's not that easy!"

A feeling of suffocation came over the little beggar, and his face gradually turned purple.

The bun rolled to the ground, and her survival instinct made her raise her hand to pull the sturdy man's trouser leg.

However, she was so hungry that she had no strength left, let alone trying to shake a strong man with such a huge size difference.

Seeing the bun rolling to the ground, the sturdy man stomped on it hard and kicked it aside.

"I'd rather feed the dogs than let you have it!"

Soon, a skinny dog, which had been hungry for who knows how many days and was just skin and bones, snatched the flattened bun away in one bite.

Di Ying tugged at Li Lingge's sleeve and raised his hand and said: Can I hit him?

Li Lingge: …

"why?"

If it weren't for the system's reminder, he might not have cared about the life or death of a little beggar.

After a moment of silence, Di Ying raised his hand and said: My hands are itchy.

Looking at those cold eyes, Li Lingge suddenly remembered that Di Ying had been brought into the mansion by his father since he was a child.

Perhaps only his father knows what he had experienced before.

He just heard the old man mention that this girl ran away from her hometown because of a disaster.

Perhaps, Di Ying saw his own past shadow in this little beggar.

Thinking of this, Li Lingge nodded.

The next moment, the sturdy man flew three meters away like a cannonball.

He rubbed a bloody mark on his back and then knocked over his own bun stall.

Tray after tray of buns rolled to the ground, and the hungry people around rushed forward.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
The little beggar coughed violently. She forced herself to stand up and tried to grab the buns.

But her head went dizzy, blood dyed her eyes red, and she staggered and fell to the ground again.

In just a few breaths, all the buns on the ground were gone.

She knelt on the ground in confusion, and then saw the buns that had just been crushed into pieces.

Although most of it was taken away by the dog, there was still a small part left in the soil.

She struggled to crawl there, but a pair of luxurious boots blocked her way.

The little beggar wiped the blood from the corner of his eyes, then looked up at the person who blocked his way.

But a rising heat blocked her vision, and a steaming meat bun appeared in front of her.

Li Lingge handed the meat bun in his hand to the little beggar and said softly.

"Eat this."

Perhaps because he was often beaten, the little beggar was a little afraid and didn't dare to reach out to take it.

Until Li Lingge held her hand and stuffed the bun into her hand.

"Live well."

Bai Ji took the bun and found a hard object in his palm, like a small stone.

She opened her palm slightly to take a look, then immediately closed it again.

That was not a pebble, but a piece of silver.

Tears instantly wet Bai Ji's eyes. She blinked hard, trying to see clearly what the big brother who gave her the buns looked like.

But the tears kept flowing out, making her vision more and more blurred.

Li Lingge stood there, waiting for the system's prompt.

After all, with Xiao Yi's previous experience as a lesson, he was able to change the little beggar's fate.

If Di Ying had not taken action, with the little beggar's luck, he would definitely have had a good encounter.

Now that he has cut off that opportunity, it should have weakened the little beggar's luck.

However, there was no system notification sound for a long while.

Li Lingge frowned slightly and asked directly.

'System, where is my reward?'

[Weaken the luck of the Son of Luck to get rewards! ]

"Isn't this considered to be weakening the luck of the Son of Luck?"

The only response he got was the system's silence.

'Hey, what do you mean by not talking?'

Li Lingge looked at Bai Ji's luck again with some dissatisfaction. He wanted to see if he could weaken his luck.

hiss!
When he saw the luck point above Bai Ji's head, he couldn't help but gasp.

what's the situation?
What's happening here?
It was only 40 luck points just now, but now it has soared to 96 luck points.

Can luck points still be increased?

The key point is that just now, he did nothing except delivering a bun, so why did his luck points suddenly skyrocket?

At this moment, a horrifying thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Isn't it possible that I have the same fate as this little beggar?"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Bai Ji had wiped away her tears and was looking at him.

Bai Ji opened his mouth, then stood up and knelt in front of Li Lingge.
She didn't say anything, but kowtowed three times.

Li Lingge felt very disappointed and stood up and left.

He walked up to the sturdy man, who had been beaten black and blue.

However, Di Ying obviously held back on his strength, so only his skin and flesh were injured, without any injuries to his tendons and bones.

The sturdy man clasped his hands together and begged for mercy.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting."

Seeing Li Lingge coming, Di Ying stopped.

At the same time, he took out a tael of silver from his sleeve and threw it into the strong man's arms.

Li Lingge spoke.

"She said this is for your medical expenses."

Strong man: (⊙o⊙)
When Bai Ji looked up again, the person in front of him had disappeared.

Turning around and looking behind me, I saw that the figure in white had walked away.

She tightly grasped the change in her hand and engraved the figure deeply in her mind.

"I will live well."

……

outside the city.

The golden chariot rose into the air and hovered outside the city wall.

Li Lingge was sitting by the window. Below him were dense crowds of disaster victims, and more victims were constantly walking here from the north.

They walked very slowly, obviously too hungry to even have the strength to walk.

The city gate was still open, but there was a checkpoint at the gate, so people other than those from Lucheng had no way of entering the city.

Outside the checkpoint, a white-haired old man asked weakly.

"Sir, I heard that the imperial court has started disaster relief. Where can I get food?"

A captain inside the checkpoint asked.

"Where are you from?"

The old man bowed and said respectfully.

"I came from Yunzhou."

The captain raised his voice a few notches and spoke loudly.

"The imperial court has already ceded the three states of Fengzhou, Yunzhou, and Yanzhou to the Western Zhou Dynasty. You are no longer a victim of Nanyue."

The old man was stunned and asked in confusion.

"Then how can I get food?"

The captain pointed to the north.

"Then you can go a few hundred miles back to Yunzhou and get food. Go to Xizhou to get it."

The old man's lips moved as he muttered.

"The court doesn't want us anymore?"

"South Vietnam doesn't want you, but I do!"

A loud voice resounded throughout Lucheng.

At the same time, Li Lingge opened the car door and walked out.

A man in a white robe stood at the door of the golden chariot, looking down at tens of thousands of disaster victims.

At this moment, everyone looked up at the sky.

The golden chariot was so dazzling that it made Li Lingge's words even more convincing.

Li Lingge continued.

"I am Li Lingge, the King of Chu. I will open a porridge shop outside the city tomorrow. However, there is a condition if you want to eat my food."

Having said this, he paused.

Soon, someone below couldn't help but ask.

"What's the condition?"

Seeing someone answering the call, Li Lingge continued, "If you eat the food of our Great Chu, you are a Chu citizen and must help our Great Chu attack the Nanyue Imperial City!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.

This sentence is very straightforward, even ordinary people can understand what it means.

Helping the State of Chu to fight against Nanyue is tantamount to treason.

Listening to the discussions, Lingxi on the side spoke up.

“They are all South Vietnamese.”

What she meant was that no matter how hungry the people of South Vietnam were, they would never betray their country for food from the enemy.

Di Ying glanced at Lingxi, raised his hand and said: You have never been hungry.

Lingxi: (O_o)??
"what did you say?"

Li Lingge said calmly.

"She said, I can tell you've never been hungry."

Lingxi: (¬_¬)
Di Ying nodded heavily. Only after experiencing hunger could one know what choices the people below would make.

What Nanyue, what Da Chu, they just want to stay alive.

Moreover, providing relief to disaster victims was the imperial court's responsibility. Now that South Vietnam has abandoned these people, is it still expensive to expect them to become South Vietnam's ashes?

Li Lingge explained.

“They were South Vietnamese, but they were human beings first.”

The thing that Da Chu lacks the least is food. The disaster in Nanyue has lasted for two years, and people are dying every day. Nanyue no longer has the ability to provide relief to so many victims.

What's more, it is still unknown how much of the disaster relief grain will remain after it is delivered from the imperial court to prefectures and counties.

His attack route is the refugees' escape route. What will happen to them if he just distributes food to them?

The ones who were truly starving were the illiterate common people. As long as they could be fed, many of them would rather be ghosts of Nanyue than people of Da Chu.

What's more, Nanyue no longer wants them. The people of Fengzhou, Yunzhou and Yanzhou are no longer the people of Nanyue.

Li Lingge looked at everyone and said loudly.

"Anyone who can lift a gun can wait here tomorrow. We in Great Chu do not support idle people."

After saying that, he directly controlled the golden chariot back to the city.

The captain was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. This man was actually openly gathering people to rebel on the city wall of their Nanyue!

"It's a rebellion, it's a rebellion, you guys stay here and watch, I'll go report it to the governor!"

After the captain finished speaking, he hurried into the city.

Danger! Danger!
It's too dangerous outside the city. Who knows, the guy in the sky might encourage the victims to go directly into the city.

By then, the few people he has won’t be able to stop them.

The officers watched Li Lingge return to the city helplessly.

Others can fly in the sky, but they only earn a few dollars a month, why bother risking their lives?

……

Governor's Mansion.

The chief historian asked.

"Sir, the relief food distributed by the court has arrived. How much should we keep?"

Xuzhou Governor Fang Qian asked in confusion.

"How much of what is left?"

The chief historian explained.

“Sir, you have just arrived and may not understand it well.

Generally, after the disaster relief grain is delivered, the governor's office will keep a portion, and the rest will be distributed to the counties."

"Nonsense!" the governor of Xuzhou shouted angrily, "You are asking me to take bribes and pervert the law!"

He sighed, then continued speaking earnestly.

"I eat your salary and share your worries. Every bit of it comes from the blood and sweat of the people. How can I bear to take even one grain of food from the mouths of the hungry people?"

Hearing this, the chief clerk at the side stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly.

"Sir, even if you don't want to keep it, you can't distribute all the relief food."

"Why?"

"The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the young minister. If you want to continue to ask the court for grain, don't you need to make arrangements with the young minister?"

Seeing that he remained silent, the Chief Clerk continued.

"Our Xuzhou suffered the most damage after Fengzhou, Yunzhou, and Yanzhou. The victims are counting on you, adults."

The officialdom in South Vietnam has long been rotten. If we don't follow the trend, more people will starve to death.

The room was silent.

After a long silence, Fang Qian gave a bitter smile. He had never thought that one day he would engage in corruption for such a reason.

How can it be justified that corruption is done in order to obtain more disaster relief food for the people?
"So how much food should we keep?"

The chief historian stretched out a hand.

"At least 50,000 shi."

Fang Qian closed his eyes and pointed in the direction outside the governor's mansion.

"There are still tens of thousands of disaster victims outside the city. They are also the people of South Vietnam."

"It used to be." Changshi reminded.

Fang Qian shook his head helplessly, somewhat absentmindedly.

"I can't stay in this officialdom any longer. I should resign and return to the countryside."

The Chief Secretary knew that he was a good official who sincerely served the people, but it was a pity that he was born at the wrong time.

"Sir, if you resign and return to farming, more people in Xuzhou will starve to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, an officer ran into the governor's mansion in a panic.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good!"

"What's going on? You're so flustered. How can you be so rude?"

Fang Qian was looking worried and had no place to vent his depressed mood, so he couldn't help but scold.

thump!
The captain knelt on the ground, then pointed in the direction outside the city and spoke.

"Sir, Li Lingge, the King of Chu, is here!"

Fang Qian stood up suddenly.

"Has the Chu State already reached Lucheng?"

The Chief Secretary narrowed his eyes slightly, finding it a little unbelievable. The speed was too fast.

"No!" The officer shook his head and continued, "Li Lingge is in Lucheng, and he wants to incite the victims to rebel!"

He briefly recounted what had just happened outside the city. Fang Qian suddenly felt a headache, but a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the chief secretary beside him.

After coming to his senses, Fang Qian looked very disappointed.

"Then why did you come back? Just catch him!"

The police officer looked aggrieved.

"He is in the sky, and we can't reach him."

Fang Qian: ...

"Do you know where he is staying?"

The policeman shook his head. He came in too haste and didn't find out Li Lingge's background at all.

The chief historian on the side spoke.

"Probably at the Tang family."

Fang Qian looked puzzled.

"The Tang family?"

"Yes, yes, it's very likely." The captain agreed, "The Tang family is the richest family in Lucheng. If Li Lingge wants to provide disaster relief, he must have money and food. Only the Tang family can provide relief to so many disaster victims."

Hearing this, Fang Qian immediately picked up the pen.

"I will write a memorial to the court right now, with an expedited mission of 600 miles, asking the court to send troops to wipe out the Chu bandits as soon as possible!"

"It's not that troublesome."

A voice was heard outside the house, and the three of them turned to look outside.

At this time, a man in a white robe stepped in.

Da da da.

The policeman was so frightened that his teeth were chattering. He raised his finger and pointed at Li Lingge, but his mouth was open but no sound came out.

Fang Qian's face darkened.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the governor's mansion?"

The chief secretary at the side bowed and saluted.

"Xuzhou Chief Secretary Wen Kai greets His Majesty."

Li Lingge looked Wen Kai up and down.

"You are quite clever."

The governor didn't even understand who he was, but the chief clerk beside him was much smarter than him.

When Fang Qian heard that the person in front of him was Li Lingge, he immediately scolded.

"King Wei, a war between two countries should be an upright confrontation. You actually took advantage of the situation and incited the people to rebel."

snort!
He snorted and continued.

"These civilians have probably only touched kitchen knives at home. How can they go to the battlefield?"

He flicked his sleeves and shook Wen Kai's hand away.

"Even if you pull me, I will still say that for slaughtering so many lives, isn't King Wei afraid of being punished by God?"

Li Lingge couldn't help laughing.

"Have you ever seen what the sky looks like?"

He raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

"I have seen."

Fang Qian opened his mouth and wanted to retort: ​​My God, everyone has seen it.

But he also felt that the sky that Li Lingge talked about was not as simple as he imagined.

Li Lingge pointed in the direction outside the city and continued.

"There are tens of thousands of disaster victims outside the city, and there may be even more tomorrow. If you can help them, I will never compete with you for help."

"This official!" Fang Qian clenched his fists, but felt powerless in his heart, "The court will not ignore them."

Even Wen Kai could sense the lack of confidence in these words.

Li Lingge sneered and pointed at the captain.

"Just now your subordinates said that the people of Fengzhou, Yunzhou, and Yanzhou are no longer the people of Nanyue, and they will not be included in the disaster relief food."

Canglang!

The Seven Star Sword was unsheathed, and the blade fell on the neck of the police officer.

"If he is lying, he should be executed on the spot. Otherwise, it is the governor who is lying."

"grown ups!"

The captain looked at Fang Qian eagerly, his eyes full of desire for life.

Without waiting for Fang Qian to speak, Wen Kai spoke loudly.

"Lord Fang is willing to follow the will of heaven and seize Xuzhou and submit to the Chu!"
