Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Almost at the moment the fire started in the cell, the system began to continuously sound negative emotion prompts.

However, Lu You didn't have time to care about it at this time. Instead, he pulled Lu Ming and ran outside.

Behind them were more than thirty prisoners who were cursing and coughing loudly.

In just half a day, the Lang Mansion's mourning hall and the county jail, two places that should have been the safest places in Jianhe County, caught fire one after another, causing chaos in the entire Qingshi Town.

In addition, Lang Hongyun was killed by the "bandits", and even the warrior Shen Huwei could not be saved. There were many different opinions at the time, and many people believed that this was a sign that the Jin army was about to attack.

On the street, many people were watching the black smoke rising from two places in the town, while Lu You and Lu Ming were heading straight for the East City Gate along the alley.

At this time, many people carrying luggage had gathered at the east gate of Qingshi Town, and there were many horse-drawn carriages full of goods nearby.

Lu You and the other man had already changed out of their bloodstained clothes and were carrying bags on their backs, looking like traveling merchants.

Coming to a carriage full of goods, Lu You clasped his fists slightly and asked in surprise.

"Hey little brother, what's going on?"

The young man looked the deer up and down, then took out the straw from his mouth and chuckled.

"How else can we seal off the city?"

"The city is closed?" Lu You asked again, "Why is the city closed suddenly?"

"You really don't know?" the young man asked doubtfully.

Hearing this, Lu You bowed to the young man again and said, "Don't laugh, little brother. We were drunk in the inn last night and only woke up just now. We really don't know what happened here."

As Lu You spoke, he turned his head and looked at the black smoke floating in the sky behind him.

"I think there seems to be a fire over there, but a fire shouldn't be enough to seal off the city."

Upon hearing that, the young man also looked towards the black smoke rising up in the city, but then he slightly shook his head.

"I don't know whether there was a fire or not, but you fell asleep last night and missed a great show."

Having said this, the young man came close to Lu You and the other two and whispered in a very low voice.

"Just last night, the eldest son of the county magistrate's family was killed by soldiers and bandits who broke into the city."

As the young man spoke, there was a hint of excitement on his face, and Lu You was puzzled by his expression.

"You're still laughing after killing someone? Shouldn't you be scared?"

Hearing what Da Luyou said, the young man snorted, then looked at Luyou and the other two again.

"You...are not from Jianhe County?"

"No." Lu You said calmly, "We were originally merchants from Xijiang Prefecture. Because the war at the border was tense, we thought of going east to find a way to make a living."

“No wonder.” The young man whispered again, “The deceased Young Master Lang was a bully in our Jianhe County.”

"He took advantage of his father being the county magistrate and did a lot of things that angered the heavens and the people, but no one dared to stop him."

"That bandit sneaked into the city and didn't harm anyone, but he directly killed him and his guards. It was obvious that he was coming for them."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm afraid that in the hearts of the people in Qingshi Town, we still have to thank the soldier and bandit who took action!"

Is there such a twist?

Lu You was bewildered. She never expected that Lu Yi's impulsive action would indirectly help Qingshi Town get rid of a disaster.

However, Lu You also understood a truth from the young man's words.

That is, people will not care too much until things affect their own interests and safety.

It seems that this commotion is still not serious enough.

Lu You thought secretly in his heart, but the young man spoke out of curiosity.

"You said you were from Xijiang Prefecture. Which part of Xijiang Prefecture are you from? How is the war going over there?"

Lu You was slightly stunned, then responded.

"I'm from Ningguan, Xijiang Prefecture. We ran away because the fighting in Ningguan was intense."

These were the information that Zuo Yunfeng had forced out of the soldiers and bandits. It wasn't really a lie when Lu You said them now.

The young man wanted to ask something else when he heard it, but when he turned around, he saw Lu You had taken out a red coat from somewhere and put it on Lu Ming.

Seeing the two of them like this, the young man was slightly stunned.

"What are you doing?"

Lu You was helping Lu Ming tie his robe. When he heard the young man's words, he immediately smiled and turned around.

"This is called the Red Fat Coat, a unique garment worn by our border troops."

[Negative emotions from Marvin +100, +100, +100...]

Lu You tied the robe and then looked at the young man with a smile.

"I'm going to show you a trick, watch!"

As he spoke, Lu You clenched his hands and shook them violently, and actually pulled out a chain mail made of copper and iron!

He stretched out his hand and put it on Lu Ming's body. Lu You reached out and took out a short knife and stabbed it into the horse's butt.

The horse was suddenly frightened and felt pain, and it neighed and rushed towards the city gate.

Lu You hung the bag on his body around Lu Ming's neck and shouted.

"The soldiers and bandits are killing people!!"

Following this shout, the people waiting for the city gate to open all turned their heads to look in the direction of Lu You and the others, only to see Lu Ming, dressed as a guard, standing there with a short blade in his hand.

"Run!!"

Lu You let out a wail, turned around and followed the carriage towards the city gate.

At this time, everyone also reacted and began to flee in panic.

The city gate had been sealed early in the morning. There were at least twenty or thirty merchant carriages blocking the city gate. As the crowd became panicked, the horses pulling the carriages also began to run around in panic.

The young driver who was chatting with Lu You just stared blankly at the chaos in front of him. For a moment, he stood there like a piece of wood.

“No more chaos!!”

The gatekeeper at the city gate drew his official sword, stood behind the barricade and shouted loudly.

But how could such a chaotic scene be calmed down by just shouting a few times?

There were only four people guarding the gate. Looking at Lu Ming in a red coat in the distance, they did not dare to step forward.

After all, everyone knows that this bandit even killed a warrior like Guard Shen.

But just as the four men were hiding behind the barricades, staring at Lu Ming nervously, a thin young man howled, bypassed the barricades and pounced on several officers.

"Back off!"

One of the officers shouted loudly.

The young man was extremely panicked and pointed behind him while crying.

"Someone is trying to kill me!"

Several officers subconsciously looked in the direction of Lu You's finger, but the moment they turned their heads, the young man raised his hand and hit one of the officers directly on the neck, then took out a knife out of thin air and chopped at the other three.

With his unintentional move, Lu You knocked down all four officers in just one encounter.

As the thick door bolt fell, Lu You waved vigorously at Lu Ming!

"Out of town!"
