Years of war have resulted in many young men from many families either dying on the front lines or staying on the front lines and unable to return home!
As a result, the labor force will naturally decrease.
Therefore, in winter, many families only eat one meal a day and starve to see if they can survive the winter.
If you can't resist, then your life is not good, and you will die if you die.
At least it can keep the rest of the family alive, and one less person can share the meal.
And along the way, the third prince's mood became more and more heavy!
What exactly does war and chaos bring about?
What exactly is it?
In front of them, a little girl and an old woman were shivering in a thatched shack half collapsed by heavy snow.
The third prince got off his horse and walked towards the shack.
The last piece of cake.
The third prince handed the cake to the old man.
There was a trace of gratitude and tears in the old man's cloudy eyes.
Then he opened a corner of the cake and handed it to the little girl.
"Why not give it all to her?"
"There will be nothing to eat tomorrow. Give her a dime today and risk her life. At least she will have something to eat tomorrow!" The old woman said slowly with tears streaming down her face.
These words are touching!
Luo Chen was not moved because Luo Chen had seen too much. When the Immortal World was invaded in the third era, was it not bigger than this?
How many countries are there in a big world?
Corpses litter the fields, it’s inhumane!
This is war!
How many countries have directly perished because of this?
But the third prince has never seen this. When he heard these words, he couldn't bear it anymore!
I couldn’t help but burst into tears!
The third prince came to his aid and saved the old woman and the little girl. He gave up his horse and let them ride on it.
"Where is her father?"
"This spring, the conscripts went to the front and died!"
"Her mother died of hunger three months ago!" the old woman burst into tears.
"What evil have we committed?" The old lady said and couldn't help crying.
"A wonderful family has just been broken up. The children have no father and no mother!"
"It's a luxury to even survive now. If I weren't afraid that no one would take care of her, I wouldn't be able to hold on anymore!" The old man burst into tears again!
"The royal family wants to fight for the world, but the world is already in ruins and is already riddled with holes!"
"What a sin!" the old lady cried.
"Yes, you are committing evil. Is it really necessary to fight for this world?" The third prince sighed to himself.
"We have been fighting for years, and our horses have never taken off their saddles, and their armor has never left its side. Year after year, we have raised troops to fight, year after year!"
"Year after year, people die from suffering!" The old man lamented!
Along the way, there were many people being treated behind us, and we arrived at Yizhou City.
The third prince could hardly recognize that this was Yizhou City!
Because here, the city wall is broken and most of it has collapsed. The once bustling streets are now full of desolation!
Several corpses, whether frozen or starved to death, were half-buried in the snow!
Weeds have long since grown on the streets.
There is no one here anymore.
"Why is it so desolate?" the third prince asked.
"Because of the massacre!" one of the old men cried.
None of the people treated along the way were young or middle-aged.
All are old people and children!
"Four months ago, the Second Prince's army captured this place and massacred the city!"
"Then the prince's army took it back, and the first thing they did when they entered the city was to massacre the city!"
"Yizhou, the huge Yizhou was massacred twice, and it became a place of death. At night, the wailings kept going, and no one dared to live here!" the old man cried.
A trace of unbearability flashed in the third prince's eyes.
You can imagine how tragic it was at that time!
"Teacher, take them back and wait for me!"
"Crane!" the third prince shouted, and then a crane came from the sky!
He rides the crane northward!
He wants to go to the palace, he wants to find the prince!
Luo Chen looked at Dao San and sighed.
It seems that Dao San has really grown up!
At this moment, in the Imperial City and Palace, there is heavy snow falling like goose feathers outside, but there are pots of hot coals all around, piled up in the corners of the room. The prince is wearing a thin shirt and does not feel cold!
Fine wines and delicacies were laid out on a table that was twenty meters long. Most of the dishes the prince couldn't finish after just one bite!
And Fuyao was sitting higher up now, enjoying the dance of the dancers invited from the palace!
The palace is filled with red lanterns!
Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, it’s very festive!
The food here is good, the clothes are good, and the stay here is warm!
One of the dishes was rejected by the prince because the ingredients were a bit stale.
The prince is currently scolding his servants!
"If you can't handle such a small thing, you really deserve to die!" the prince yelled!
However, at this moment, there was a rumble and a thunder-like sound on the snow outside the palace!
"Escort!"
"Escort!"
Someone shouted!
"Protect the hammer!" Dao San no longer concealed it. He was raised by the Crown Prince and Luo Chen, and his words were full of worldly atmosphere!
"Third brother?" the prince said in astonishment.
Fuyao frowned.
Dao San always gave her the feeling that something was not quite right!
"The food is very good, brother!"
"Come here, don't be alarmed. Give me a seat. Third brother, you and I will have a drink together!" the prince said again.
Dan San walked into the main hall, looked at the tables full of dishes, and felt the warm air all around.
Think about it again, the old lady is reluctant to eat a piece of cake herself, and she also wants to give a dime to the little girl, because she is afraid that the little girl will not survive and will not have anything to eat tomorrow.
I think of how many people are huddled in cold, drafty shacks outside at this moment, starving and hungry.
Just to survive!
But their sons, their parents, sacrificed their lives for the person in front of them, fought and shed blood and died for the person in front of them!
Could it be that just for the sake of his wife and children, his parents had to fend for themselves in the severe cold?
Is it just for the person in front of me to have fun here?
At this moment, he was angry, he was furious!
He understood and he was very grateful to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen didn't let him be a chess piece, Luo Chen didn't fight for the world, didn't create war and cause misfortune!
But now!
Dao San looked at the prince angrily!
For the first time, he felt hatred towards the prince, his eldest brother!
Angry and unwilling to fight!
I hate how stupid it is!
Is this war really necessary?
"eat?"
"Eat for a request!"
"I let you eat!" Dao San kicked over the table that was more than 20 meters long, and the dishes and drinks were spilled all over the floor!
"Dao San, what do you want to do?"
"Are you going to rebel?" the prince shouted angrily.
"I want to rebel?"
"It's you and Dao Er who are rebelling!"
"After years of fighting, ten houses and nine empty houses, bones exposed in the wild, no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, and the people are looking for a way to survive in the severe cold, all of this is caused by you!"
