It turned out that an impatient citizen couldn't wait to save his wife and rushed out. Others tried to save him, but they could only show up. More than 20 people fought with the guards guarding the door, and they originally planned to attack by force.

Yes, it turned out that the guards of the Southern Jin Dynasty were not only strong but also highly skilled in martial arts. None of them broke in. Instead, the guards inside came out to reinforce and they were surrounded.

When Yan Mu passed by, the people had no power to fight back. The guards of the Southern Jin Dynasty were narrowing the encirclement. One of them, who was waving a kitchen knife and trying to break through the encirclement, was directly hacked to death by the guards.

The common people were frightened and angry, but after all they were no match for these soldiers.

Yan Mu took a deep breath, drew his sword and rushed forward, trying to open a hole from the outside to let the people escape. After he appeared, the Southern Jin people quickly surrounded him.

His moves are extremely sharp, almost one blow at a time, breaking a hole quickly, "Run away!"

The people hurriedly fled, but only a few escaped. The opening was immediately blocked again.

Yan Mu fought again, and more and more Southern Jin soldiers surrounded him, almost swamping him. At this moment, a man wearing a veil and night clothes jumped into the encirclement and fought with him against these people.

This man was highly skilled in martial arts, and the two of them worked together to break out of the siege, and then quickly killed the two soldiers surrounding the people, urging them to flee.

After all the people had fled, the two of them fell in love with each other and quickly disappeared into the night.

There were twenty-eight people, but only eighteen were left when they came back.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly asked Zijin to lock the door, and then pulled Yan Mu over. He was relieved when he saw that he was not injured.

"Everyone has seen it today. Don't be impulsive again in the future. As for your family, I will find a way to save them." Yan Mu comforted those people.

"Sir, have you found them?" the old man asked.

Yan Mu shook his head, "No, but there is someone who promised to help us find her. Just wait for her news."

Liu Yunxiang's thoughts turned around, "Is this person Su Ruqing?"

Yan Mu nodded, "It's her."

Yan Mu said he would rescue those women, but these people just thought he was talking nonsense, and they all slumped on the ground, dejected.

Early the next morning, everyone gathered their emotions and headed to the porridge shed.

Liu Yunxiang and the other three followed behind and arrived at the Yuanchang Herbal Medicine Store. They saw that the people did not line up, but were huddled together in a mess. They arrived late and couldn't squeeze in at all.

Liu Yunxiang asked a woman next to him. The woman said anxiously: "There is no food today, and there will be no food for the next three days. I don't know what's going on."

"It seems that someone caused trouble in front of Heyuan Gate last night, and the Southern Jin people were so angry that they didn't allow the owner of Yuanchang Medicinal Material Store to serve food."

"Oh, what are you thinking about? Why are you making trouble with them and making everyone hungry?"

"Hey, it's said to be to save those missing women."

"Isn't this fantastic?"

The old man couldn't listen anymore and said: "If you don't even think about it and no one comes to save it, then Ling'an will be finished."

The woman sighed, "If we don't have food for three days, everyone will be doomed."

The crowd began to push each other, and everyone shouted that they would break down the door of Yuanchang Medicine Store and go inside to grab food. Under the persecution of the Southern Jin people, everyone was hungry and cold every day, and was on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, the door of Yuanchang Medicinal Materials Shop opened at this time. The owner was an old man with a white beard. He was helped by the waiter to stand on the stove and scanned the people below.

"Everyone, even if I smashed my medicine shop, there wouldn't be a grain of rice in it."

"What about the food?" someone asked loudly.

"We exchanged medicinal herbs for our daily food with the people from the Southern Jin Dynasty. They didn't exchange it for us today. They only said they would look at it in three days." The head of the proprietor sighed, "You are hungry, our family and the guys at the medicinal herb shop are hungry."

They are starving all the same. If you don’t believe it, go in and search, and if you can find a grain of grain, Chen will kill himself to make amends.”

After hearing this, everyone had to believe it. Yuanchang Medicinal Materials Store indeed had no food, and there was no guarantee that they would have food in three days.

The owner was helped down and went back helplessly.

Everyone dispersed, and those who didn't disperse sat on the floor.

"That's it, just wait for death." Someone said.

"Yes, what can we ordinary people do? The court has given up on us."

"Hmph, if I have a next life, I will never be a Da Rong person!"

“You can’t be a great person even if you’re a dog!”

Liu Yunxiang sighed deeply, and when he looked at Yan Mu, he didn't look good either.

"Let's go back and think of a solution."

The old man and his entourage walked out with them, when a woman ran over and shouted with horror: "The people from the Southern Jin Dynasty kidnapped many people at Dongqiaotou and wanted to kill them. My child and his father were both caught by them.

Please help me quickly to save people!"

When the old man heard this, he rushed over and asked the woman what was going on.

"The leader was a general, and he didn't say why. Anyway, he arrested people when he saw them, took them under the bridge, and said he would dye the river in the city red with their blood!" the woman said while crying.

Hearing this, the old man angrily called to people: "Everyone, go over and save this person."

The old man raised his arms and called out, but not many people responded.

"They want to starve us to death. If we still have the strength now, if we can fight one another, we might be able to fight for a while!"

"My uncle is right, instead of starving to death, let's go have a fight!"

"Yes, it's better to die anyway than to die as a coward!"

Someone responded, and others stood up one after another.

The old man led everyone towards the east bridge. Yan Mu asked Zijin to hide while Liu Yunxiang was protected, and he went over to take a look.

"This is too dangerous." Liu Yunxiang said.

Yan Mu shook his head, "The common people have rushed to the front, let alone me."

"Can……"

"Don't worry, with so many people, the people of Southern Jin will also weigh it."

With that said, Yan Mu told Zijin a few words and then followed.

Liu Yunxiang wanted to follow him, but he heard someone passing by say: "The city gate opened just now, it seems that the Emperor of Beijin has arrived."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang's eyes lit up.

"Let's go to the city gate!"

Yan Mu followed the others to the head of the East Bridge. From a distance, he saw about a dozen people tied up and pinned down by the river. A soldier from the Southern Jin Dynasty was holding a big sword and wanted to chop them down. He saw so many people coming in unison, so he stopped.

A tall and strong young man wearing armor stood on the bridge. He glared angrily and had a fierce look on his face. When he saw the people coming over, he asked his men to light up the arrows in their hands.

"Whoever dares to take another step forward will be shot immediately!" he shouted angrily.

The old man stood in front and shouted to the man: "What crime did our people commit? Why did you kill them?"

The man looked disdainful, "In the eyes of me, the Southern Jin people, you Darong people are just livestock, a bunch of useless livestock. We can kill them if we want!"

The old man was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "You let him go, or we will fight you tooth and nail!"
