After listening to grandma and uncle's family chatting for a while, there was something strange at the other end of the city gate.

I saw that many refugees seemed to have made an agreement and began to swarm towards the city gate. There was a look of rebellion if you don't let me in.

There was a commotion at the city gate, and the people who were farther away saw it and joined in, trying to get through.

The entrance fee is too expensive and I can't afford it.

Furthermore, even if some fleeing families can afford the money, they are unwilling to spend it here.

After all, you have to spend money on the way out, and when you get to your destination and settle down, you need to spend a lot of money building a house, buying land for reclamation, etc.

If money is wasted on such a trivial matter as the entrance fee, they will not have money to settle down even if they survive the famine in the future.

More and more refugees and civilians flocked to the city gate. For a time, the entire city gate was surrounded by water, and the situation fell out of control.

When uncle Lu Baoshan saw this, his old face immediately became excited. After he stood up neatly, he even started shouting.

"Children of the Lu family, rush into the city with me. We must find a way to pass through Izumo City!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole Lu family seemed to have already made an agreement. As soon as the head of the family spoke, everyone found out what they wanted to do, carrying burdens, pushing carts, and in an instant

He was ready to rush into the city.

When Jiang Guoguo saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel sad for her uncle's family.

This must have been discussed in advance.

Under such circumstances, some refugees will inevitably resist and eventually rebel.

The uncle and the others had calculated that this moment would happen, so they had discussed it in advance and took advantage of the chaos to enter the city in order to avoid the entrance fee.

I guess so, according to their description, the uncle's family can be considered as common people in the Zhennan King's fiefdom. They were born in a farmer's family, and the entry fee for each person is fifty gold coins.

For a family of twenty-four, that is a total of 1,200 gold coins, converted into gold beans, which requires twelve gold beans.

Where did so many golden beans come into the city?

Therefore, the most effective and most desperate way is to rush in while the chaos is happening, replenish some rations as quickly as possible, and get out of the city quickly.

However, at this moment, several screams suddenly came from the crowd in front.

Jiang Guoguo wanted to investigate, but because she was too short, she couldn't see what was going on, so she could only worry.

At this time, Hua Xin suddenly said in a deep voice:

"It smells of blood. The defenders should take action."

Jiang Guoguo was startled when she heard this. Seeing that her uncle's family was about to rush into the crowd without any care, she quickly chased after them with small steps and reached out to stop them.

"Don't be impulsive, wait and see!"

The uncle's family had just been forced to stop by Jiang Guoguo, and when they were about to speak, they heard another commotion coming from the front.

This time, the screams and screams came one after another very clearly, and the uncle and the others were frightened.

The charging crowd suddenly dispersed, the people fled in panic, and the city gate suddenly became empty again.

Suddenly, several figures covered in blood and living or dying came into view.

Each of the city defenders held a spear in their hands, with blood dripping from the spearheads. It was obvious that they had just experienced a fight.

Some of the refugees whose bodies were stabbed by spears were still rolling on the ground with blood like pillars, while others were lying motionless on the ground, looking miserable.

For a moment, all the people were trembling and staring at the defenders in fear, fearing that their spears would be raised again and stab them.

The atmosphere at the city gate suddenly became extremely cold.

At this time, one of the city defenders who seemed to have some authority suddenly stood up, pointed his spear, and shouted angrily:

"If you dare to rebel again, don't blame the spears in our hands for not having eyesight! The city lord has personally set the entrance fee. If anyone is dissatisfied, you can tell us and I will personally take you to see our city lord!"

The city defenders made unquestionable remarks that immediately discouraged those who were dissatisfied.

Just kidding, they only dare to get involved in the chaos. Who dares to really confront the Lord of the City? Doesn't that mean his life is not short enough and he comes to seek death?

Who doesn’t know that the city lords of Izumo City only listen to Prince Zhennan? If they challenge the city lord, isn’t it equivalent to having an opinion against Prince Zhennan?

For a time, the common people who had just started a violent war and seemed to be looking forward to death stopped eating one after another, and returned to the original squatting position on the ground, not daring to have any thoughts of rebellion.

But this way, the hope of entering the city becomes even slimmer.

Finally, some people couldn't stand it anymore and walked with their families deep into the mountains of the nearby hunting ground.

Not being able to enter the city or go east without money is a way to die.

If you can't get into the city and go back, you have to go back and forth again and again, and your rations will soon be exhausted, which is another way to die.

Now he is taking a desperate risk, going deep into the mountains and bypassing Izumo Castle. If he is lucky, he still has a chance to survive.

So before long, some people who saw no hope finally gritted their teeth and walked into the mountains together or alone.

No one knows what awaits them.

When Lu Baoshan's family saw this scene, they were immediately frightened.

They were all preparing to rush in with the intention of rushing in. If a family really pushed their way to the front, they would be the ones who would be pierced by a spear.

For a moment, Lu Baoshan and others all looked at Jiang Guoguo gratefully.

If this little kid hadn't stood in front of them just now and wouldn't let them go, it's hard to say what would have happened now.

Mrs. Jiang was also frightened for a while, and hurriedly ran over, holding Jiang Guoguo's little hand with one hand, and Lu Baoshan's hand with the other.

"Brother, just come with us. Look at you. Did you just want to take advantage of the chaos and rush into the city? How dangerous it is!"

Lu Baoshan's face also turned red and he kept his head low, not daring to speak.

To be honest, his heart is still beating fast.

If this little girl Guo Guo hadn't stopped him, he would have been in big trouble.

Seeing that her eldest brother's attitude seemed to be relaxing, Mrs. Jiang quickly continued to persuade:

"Brother, if you don't think about the elders, you also have to think about Zhen Ziyu and the others. These children are only as old as my two eldest grandchildren. Don't you want the children to settle down as soon as possible?"

Lu Baoshan seemed to be persuaded, and several Lu family members behind him also had sad faces. They were all holding back their words, but they couldn't say anything nonsense.

At this time, Mrs. Xu stood up next to Lu Baoshan, with a kind smile on her old face. She reached out to hold up Mrs. Jiang's hand, put it in her palm and patted it gently, saying with a helpless expression:

"Amei, it's not that your eldest brother doesn't want to go with you, it's just... there are too many people in our family, and I'm afraid that I'm afraid that I'll harm you."

Mrs. Xu also felt sorry for her old man, and had been holding back her words, unable to tell the truth.

When things got to this point, she, as an old sister-in-law, had no choice but to come forward and express everyone's concerns.
