The soldiers were selfless and selfless. In the face of natural disasters, they stood firm and refused to give in. They even turned a deaf ear to Lord Li's pleas. Lord Li looked at this determined formation and knew in his heart that it would be impossible to see the prince today. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "General, can you come out and have a word with me? The disaster is serious now, and it is urgent for the prince to send people to rescue and evacuate the people."

However, it was raining heavily, and except for the sound of rain, there was silence all around. Master Li was unwilling to give in and shouted several times until he was hoarse and still no one responded. He felt angry for a while, but he had no choice but to know that staying here would not help. So, he rode away and decided to go straight to the granary to let the people who had been settled have a full meal first.

However, when Mr. Li arrived at the granary, he found something unusual. The soldiers who originally guarded the granary disappeared, and were replaced by an army of at least two thousand people wearing raincoats and holding long swords. They stood quietly in the heavy rain, their faces expressionless, like iron statues.

Mr. Li was shocked. He forced himself to calm down and asked loudly: "May I ask where the general is?" As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier walked out of the crowd. He was wearing a raincoat with shiny black iron armor underneath, making him look majestic.

"Master Li, what are you doing in the heavy rain?" The guard's voice was loud, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

When Mr. Li heard this, he felt happy and said quickly: "I have been ordered to open a warehouse to release grain and help the victims. Now the people are seriously affected by the disaster and are in urgent need of food relief."

However, the guard interrupted him and asked coldly: "Master Li, do you have the prince's handwriting?"

Mr. Li was stunned for a moment, then said: "This granary is not owned by the prince, but is a reserve of the government, and does not require the prince's handwriting."

When the guard heard this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Master Li, the granary in Lingnan City belongs to the prince. No one is allowed to touch it without the prince's handwriting."

Master Li suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body was cold, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

Is the King of Lingnan really going to rebel? As an official of the Lingnan Prince's Mansion, although he can be considered an official of Lingnan, he has always been wary of the ambitions of the Lingnan Prince.

However, he never thought that the King of Lingnan would block the granary at this time, regardless of the life and death of the people.

He was burning with anxiety, but he also knew that he alone could not fight against these two thousand soldiers. Moreover, the original guard was nowhere to be found, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable fear in his heart.

Master Li had no choice but to ride back. He knew that the granary was blocked and the resettled victims would have no food to eat. However, the major resettlement sites do not have much food reserves and cannot sustain them for long. Once the people are hungry, riots will inevitably occur.

He returned to the city worriedly. Looking at the noisy streets and hungry people, he felt sad in his heart. When he came to the temple, he saw that the people were asking when porridge would be distributed, but he was speechless.

At this moment, two soaked guards rushed over. They said breathlessly: "Sir, it's not good! The King of Lingnan has blocked all the granaries and they are heavily guarded. We just went to investigate and were almost killed. catch!"

Master Li's heart sank when he heard this. He knew that the King of Lingnan was determined to rebel. But as an official of the imperial court, he was powerless.

At this moment, snowflakes suddenly appeared in the sky. The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the cold wind is howling, as if it will freeze the whole world. The people exclaimed one after another. They looked at the snow and wind in the sky, and their hearts were filled with fear and uneasiness.

Mr. Li stood in the wind and snow, his heart full of helplessness and despair. He knew that this disaster was beyond his capabilities. He could only watch the people suffer, but was unable to lend a helping hand.
