"The sun is scorching hot. I think all my brothers are thirsty. Come on, I'll fill them up."
"It's not enough. I still have some in the carriage."
Feng Mingwei forced the wine jar to Lei Yan.
Everyone: "..."
Murong Xiao poured himself a glass, followed him over, and said with a smile: "General Yan Mo, I propose a toast to you."
Lei Yan looked at the couple, licked his lips, and took a sip without holding back. Who knew that this sip was like being poisoned and he couldn't stop, "Gulu gulu", he suddenly raised his head and had a headache while holding the wine jar.
Lei Yan was happy after drinking the good wine, so he took the meat from her hand and ate it in big gulps.
The wine is strong enough.
The meat is delicious enough.
This girl is a better person than her father.
"I didn't expect Feng Zhanyuan to have such a sensible and good daughter like you!" Lei Yan held the wine jar and smiled softly.
Feng Mingwei smiled: "Thanks to Uncle Lei for being so considerate."
Lei Yan: "..."
We have eaten both wine and meat. As the saying goes, the hands of those who take people are short, and the mouth of those who eat people is short.
It would have been very embarrassing if we had not been accommodating and let them go.
But the capital has been keeping a close eye on them recently, and maybe someone is watching them in the dark now.
Lei Yan put down the wine jar and said: "Girl, our Lei and Feng families can be said to be family friends. I can understand your family's situation. But it's not that my uncle is hard-hearted, it's just the rules."
"I understand, I understand."
"The emperor just said that I am not allowed to enter the Northwest City, but he didn't seem to say that dad and the others are not allowed to see me at the gate of the Northwest City!" Feng Mingwei said with a smile.
Lei Yan: "..." That's true.
Murong Xiao smiled and said: "I understand that my father is afraid that something will happen if we enter the northwest city."
"If my father pursues the case, I will shoulder the full responsibility and will not implicate the general."
Lei Yan glanced at him, then lowered his head to look at the wine in his arms. A cold look flashed across his eyes, then he raised his eyes and smiled: "With King Lie's words, I, the general, can rest assured. However, there is only one of you.
Hours, you must come out after an hour."
"Thank you, General."
"Thank you Uncle Lei."
Lei Yan smiled and said: "Your wine is not bad, I am almost drunk."
After saying that, he hugged the wine jar and left.
The Yama army also quickly withdrew.
After a while, the closed black iron city gate slowly opened.
Only then did Feng Mingwei have the opportunity to see the entire northwest city environment.
First of all, there is a desert outside the northwest city, where not a single blade of grass grows, and the climate is dry and hot.
The northwest city is no different from an ordinary town.
Feng Mingwei thought she would see some Shura field, a hell on earth.
The result is Ordinary City.
Most of the people inside are ordinary people.
Although it is not as prosperous as the capital city, it is still passable.
"How can it be as scary as you said?" Feng Mingwei couldn't help but glare at Murong Xiao.
"This is just the surface. There are also ordinary people who are exiled in the northwest."
“When you get here, you need to live.”
"It's just that when you go to the northwest, you don't have as much freedom as outside. Without the protection of the government and the court, the weak and ordinary people are in danger every day."
"Human nature is very bad. You have never seen the real darkness."
"You won't feel it for a while." Murong Xiao chuckled, "Only those who have lived here for a long time understand that life is worse than death."
"Let me go..."
Just talking.
Several tall and strong men appeared in front of her, and they dragged a frail woman into the alley.
The woman screamed in despair.
But the people around him were very indifferent and turned a blind eye.
"No, please let me go!"
The men ignored the woman's pleas and dragged her into the alley, bursting into wanton laughter.
The laughter covered up the woman's pitiful cries.
There was a little girl at the entrance of the alley who was dressed in rags. She was as skinny as a stick, with a sallow face and thin muscles. Her lips were white and cracked, and her eyes were hollow and without any luster. She squatted there holding her legs and shivering, and she didn't even shed tears.
Murong Xiao glanced at her and said calmly to her, "That child is the lady's daughter."
"Even if she encounters something like this, she doesn't dare to die."
The little girl is estimated to be only seven or eight years old.
If she dies, what will happen to the child?!
"And this child was born in the northwest. Even if he lives, he will not have any future."
There is no official government here, no one to manage it, and no place where justice can be served. It is a place abandoned by the imperial court.
Anyone who enters the northwest is a heinous criminal.
Who will seek justice for them despite their sins?!
Feng Mingwei's face was ugly. She looked at the people around her. They seemed to be alive but were actually zombies. She immediately understood what he meant by hell on earth, where life is worse than death.
Seeing her livid face and saying nothing, Murong Xiao seemed to understand what she wanted to do. Murong Xiao curled his lips and said, "We can save people, but if we save them today, what about tomorrow?"
"If you save one, can you save the entire northwest city?"
"There are thousands of them in the Northwest."
Feng Mingwei's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and she couldn't move.
Murong Xiao raised his fingertips and touched the corners of her lips, and chuckled: "Weier, is this northwest still the destination you want?"
