The sudden scolding stunned the scribes, but it didn't frighten them.

"What do you want to do?"

"Who are you?"

The scribes shouted hoarsely.

In front of these surging crowds, even though their faces were pale, they maintained the posture they should have, holding on and not retreating.

"Who are we?"

shouted one of the crowd at the head, pointing behind him with anger in his eyes.

Behind him is Cheng Guogong's army formation, soldiers who have encountered too many unexpected things one after another since leaving the camp, and their expressions are dazed.

"We are the crimes of Cheng Guogong that you said!"

What does it mean?

"Duke Cheng disobeyed the emperor's order, and was greedy for meritorious deeds, killing tens of thousands of soldiers because of us."

"Cheng Guogong is cunning, grabs power and loves power, and destroys the peace agreement for us."

"Mr. Cheng is warlike and heavy-armed, and his soldiers are endless. The treasury is wasted, and the people and money are wasted for us."

"Duke Cheng is arrogant and arrogant, asking for rewards and fame is for us."

"We are the sinners who made Cheng Guogong Zhu Shan a minister of subjugation."

Having said that, he took a step forward, even though he was disheveled and unresolute in his rags, he made the scribe in front of him take a step back involuntarily.

"If you want to ask about Duke Cheng's crimes, ask about ours first!"

Accompanied by his words, there was noise all around.

"If you want to ask about Duke Cheng's crime, ask us first!"

Like the violent wind and waves in the sea, the surrounded scribes, civilians, officers and soldiers couldn't help shaking physically and mentally.

Facing the fierce soldiers with iron armor and blood weapons, the literati and students, who had never been afraid to back down half a step, took a step back involuntarily under the shouts of this group of sallow-faced and emaciated civilians.

"Who are you?" asked the scribe.

These words set off a commotion all around again.

"I'm from Baozhou."

"Bazhou people."

"People from Xiongzhou."

Countless chaotic shouts echoed, but they were heard clearly in everyone's ears.

"We are refugees from the North."

Northland refugees.

The so-called refugees are naturally displaced persons.

Since the war between the Beidi and the Jin people, there have been many such people. More than half of the beggars in the capital are refugees from the Beidi. Everyone knows this identity.

"No, you don't understand at all." An elderly man with a Bazhou accent said, his voice trembling, "You only know the four words of displacement, but you don't know what these four words mean!"

"It means that there is no home, it means that there is no food and clothing, and it means that you are in a state of anxiety all day long!"

The old man glanced at the people in front of him.

"We will never have the leisure to watch the excitement like you do."

"What's even more cruel is that all of this happened in the blink of an eye overnight!"

These words aroused the grief of the refugees in the Northland present.

"We used to have as good a time as you."

"The gold thief said he would kill him, and he would kill him."

"It's all gone if it's gone."

Listening to the narration of countless people choked up, the people present couldn't help feeling sorry for it.

On the other hand, the officers and soldiers on duty, as well as the scribes and students, were less frightened. After all, they were just a group of civilians who had lost their homes.

"It's all war, and the people are suffering." A scribe said, watching the people step forward, "So this is all the crime of Cheng Guogong's raising troops..."

Before he finished speaking, he was spat on by the people nearby.

"What the hell!"

It was a toothless old woman with a cane in her hand and a thick accent.

"If Cheng Guogong hadn't led the soldiers to guard the battle, we would have died long ago, and we would not be able to live a peaceful life. You young man looks at the fine features, how can you be so stupid?"

"Yeah, what nonsense."

"If Cheng Guogong hadn't brought these good soldiers to fight against the gold thieves, we wouldn't have had a good life."

"You have had a good time for a long time, I don't know how it came about."

"It's such a heartless thing to say."

"Do you think it's a good day when the wind blows when you stand here watching the excitement?"

"That's all because of how many soldiers will block the thieves for you, and how many people died in exchange for it."

Countless voices smashed in disorder and anger, not only made the scribes who had spoken before dare not speak anymore, but the others also backed away in fear.

They retreat, and those on this side advance.

"Do you know what war is?"

"Have you ever seen with your own eyes that hundreds of soldiers go out and only one or two come back?"

"Have you ever seen the sword and gun of the gold thief? Cut off half of the body with one knife."

They shouted angrily, and someone simply ran to the nearest soldier.

"Little brother, take off your armor and let them see."

The soldier who was suddenly called was a little stunned.

In fact, they have been at a loss since they were besieged and questioned.

"First battalion, take off your armor and clothes." A clear and clear female voice came from the middle of the army formation.

Even though he was still a little dazed, he dismounted without hesitation when he heard the sound, and the armor was removed with a clang, and the dozen or so soldiers standing in front of them looked a little thin.

They didn't stop, and they didn't care that there were women among the people present, they took off their outer robes twice, and rubbed their upper bodies.

This series of actions was so fast that the caller almost didn't react.

"Look at them..." He recovered his senses and said, pointing at these soldiers, he also looked over, and suddenly stopped talking, with an expression of disbelief.

Because of his words, everyone looked at this side, and saw that these soldiers without armor and robes as a foil, lost their might, and their figures were not even as strong as the guards on duty here.

But the people's increasingly surprised expressions were not because of this, but because of the criss-crossing scars on their bodies.

There are more than a dozen people, tall, short, fat, thin, and of different ages, but the same thing is that they are covered with scars, there are knife wounds, arrow wounds, new wounds and old wounds, shallow and deep. So many wounds, so many wounds and still alive.

The commotion all around stopped.

"They have so many injuries..." The man standing next to the soldier finally spoke again with a complicated expression, "I didn't expect that either."

He did think that the soldiers, especially those from the Northland, might be wounded, so he wanted to ask the soldier to take off his armor and let everyone see if he was injured.

He didn't expect that there were really so many injuries, nor did he think that these dozen soldiers were all like this, so these soldiers. . .

His eyes looked at the army formation.

Everyone also thought of this and looked around.

The other soldiers in the army are all wearing armor. How many times have they been through the rain of guns and arrows, and how many times have they rolled at the gate of hell?

"Say they are greedy for merit, say they are warlike, who is not human?" The man's voice suddenly rang out, pointing at these soldiers, and angrily looking at the scribes and students, "Go greedy one!"

Accusations sounded again from all around.

The literati and students took another step back.

"It's not necessary to negotiate a peace earlier, it's fine if there is no war." Someone who didn't know who was not convinced made a sound.

These words did not refute to the refugees in the north, but once again attracted a lot of spitting.

"Negotiate peace earlier? Do you know how this peace came about? It didn't come from a strong wind! It came from a war!"

"If Duke Cheng didn't frighten the gold thief, if it wasn't for the brave soldiers who fought bloody to repel the gold thief and dare not offend them, they would be crazy to initiate peace!"

"Not only will they not meet and make peace, but they will go south with iron hoofs and reckless!"

"Are you people in the capital stupid? Don't you know this truth?"

Listening to the overwhelming scolding, the faces of the people in the capital turned red, apart from being afraid, they were more ashamed.

Yes, why don’t you understand this truth? Why have they forgotten who has been guarding the border for more than ten years, so that they can come here in peace and stability for more than ten years.

Otherwise, they would be like these refugees from the north.

Seeing these refugees haggard and miserable, and thinking about the days they just described, the people in the capital couldn't help shivering.

They don't want to live this kind of life, why are they so mad that Cheng Guogong and the officers and soldiers are guilty, isn't this going to ruin their good life?

All these scholars!

The people in the capital looked at the scholars and scribes for a moment, turned around at the same time, and stood together with the refugees from the Northland.
