Hearing this, Chen Xiao's expression became a little colder, and he twitched the corner of his mouth, "His Royal Highness, the Fourth Prince, forgets things a lot, so it is normal for him not to remember."
After saying this, Chen Xiao tightened his grip on the reins, clamped the horse's belly, and passed Zhao Jin and Zhao Xingzhi.
Zhao Jin and Zhao Xingzhi looked at each other, and he could still see the astonishment on Zhao Xingzhi's face.
"Have you really seen him before?" Zhao Xingzhi pointed at himself with a bit of disbelief in his eyes.
Zhao Xingzhi didn't know, and Zhao Jin didn't know even more. He had only been in Bianzhou for a few months.
Zhao Jin coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, let's go first."
After that, Zhao Xingzhi and Chen Xiao looked at each other disgustedly, as if they could fight at any time.
As they gradually penetrated deeper into the territory of Hedong County, they saw more and more victims.
On both sides of the road, victims were either starving, dying, or sitting on the roadside, skinny as a stick.
Even though Zhao Jin had seen a lot of human tragedies, he couldn't help but glance over his head at this moment.
At the same time, what everyone sees most is the bad roots of human nature.
When disaster occurs and people reach a dead end, morality becomes the most fragile thing.
Zhao Jin saw that some people exchanged their sons for food, and some people fought with each other because the steamed buns had gone sour in one mouthful, and even killed people.
When people passed by, all the victims stared at them with their eyes, like hungry wolves with green light, and would pounce on them as soon as they dared to stop.
Even among the three Zhao Jin people, Zhao Xingzhi, who was the most heartless after seeing this scene, did not dare to stop hastily.
For these victims, even if they offer their official status, it is of no use.
As long as they can survive, they can do anything.
Zhao Jin frowned and ordered: "The whole army should move forward quickly!"
If things continue like this, these victims might just rush up on horseback regardless of them.
However, when they were still half an hour away from the seat of Hedong County, Zhao Jin and the others had to stop.
This is the only way into the city, and in front of everyone, the road is blocked by the victims.
Zhao Jin tightened his grip on the reins and looked back. Behind them were all ragged victims.
"What should I do?" Zhao Xingzhi forced himself to calm down and murmured.
"Get out."
"Get out."
Zhao Jin and Chen Xiao said in unison.
The two looked at each other and saw the plan in each other's eyes.
Zhao Jin raised his riding whip, leaned down slightly, and tightened his grip on the reins, "You can't stop even if you step on the victim's body!"
Zhao Jin said this to Zhao Xingzhi.
After all, Zhao Xingzhi grew up in a deep palace. Although he went to the battlefield once, he faced enemies at that time, but now he faces poor victims.
If you are soft-hearted and have a little hesitation, you may really be eaten alive by these victims.
Swallowed alive in the physical sense.
Along the way, Zhao Jin has seen more than one incident of cannibalism.
Zhao Xingzhi closed his eyes and then opened them again, "I know the importance of this, so don't worry, Marquis Xuanping."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao glanced sideways at Zhao Xingzhi's slightly pale face and gave a light "tsk", but did not mock Zhao Xingzhi again.
He should have known that this man looked calm and rational, but was actually very soft-hearted.
"Commanders, listen to the order!" Chen Xiao raised his arms and looked sharply, "No matter what happens, rush through this section of the road at full speed!"
"yes!"
When everyone was getting ready, the victims could no longer hold themselves back and surrounded everyone one after another.
With sharp eyes and cold eyes, Zhao Jin looked at the victims getting closer and closer and said loudly: "Rush!"
The riding whip in his hand was immediately thrown onto the horse's buttocks. Zhao Jin held the horse's belly and rushed towards the victims as quickly as possible.
This army of five thousand men galloped forward like an arrow from the string.
The victims originally thought that they would not rush directly towards them, but would definitely rein in and stop in front of them.
However, when they saw the horses of Zhao Jin and others, they showed no intention of slowing down. Many victims still panicked and hid on both sides.
They want to steal food from this group of people to survive, rather than risking their lives here.
There are still some victims who firmly believe that Zhao Jin will stop.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed and Zhao Jin did not stop.
The horse knocked down a victim, trampled on the victim's body with its hooves, and Zhao Jin on the horse was also jolted.
Zhao Jin did not hesitate and continued to run forward on his horse. Those victims who were still trying to stop Zhao Jin were frightened and retreated to both sides to make way.
Zhao Jin and others passed through this group of victims without any danger.
Zhao Xingzhi's breathing became obviously rapid. After getting away from the group of victims, he wanted to slow down a little so that he could take a breath.
"Don't stop!" Chen Xiao's voice sounded, "I don't know how many more situations like this will happen in the future."
"There's only half an hour left, let's enter the city as soon as possible."
There is no order outside the city, and you will not encounter this situation again after entering the city.
Most of the people who can survive in the city still have a glimmer of hope.
Maybe it's because as we get closer to the city gate, there are more and more victims.
In just half an hour, Zhao Jin and others encountered three groups of victims.
Fortunately, because there were so many people in the group and they were so aggressive, no one among the victims dared to block the road when faced with Zhao Jin and others who were speeding towards them.
When Zhao Jin and others arrived at the city gate, the soldiers stationed at the city gate immediately looked over with vigilance.
When they saw that all five thousand people were soldiers, their eyes lit up. Then, Zhao Jin saw a man wearing the military robe of a captain and general walking towards him quickly.
"You are..."
Among the three people from Zhao and Jin, Zhao Xingzhi is the eldest, so Zhao Xingzhi came forward, "I am the fourth prince, and I have come to take charge of disaster relief matters under His Majesty's orders!"
"This is Xuanping Hou Zhao Jin, who is responsible for disaster relief together with our palace. This is Colonel Chen Xiao, who is responsible for suppressing bandits."
The captain guarding the city was even more surprised, "I have seen His Highness and the two adults!"
"Quick! Your Highness and the adults quickly enter the city."
Zhao Xingzhi nodded slightly and raised his hand to signal everyone to enter the city.
Zhao and Jin dismounted and walked from the city gate to the government office.
As soon as he walked into the city, Zhao Jin could vaguely smell a smell of decay. It wasn't heavy, but it couldn't be ignored.
"What does this smell like in the city?" Zhao Jin wrinkled his nose and asked.
The person responsible for leading the three people was a soldier. He sighed heavily, "The flood directly submerged the entire city. Although the water has receded now, a little of the smell still remains."
After all, the flood water is dirty and has been soaked for so long, so the smell does not dissipate easily.
