Many people have made calculations in their minds. King Yan's Mansion has long said that Qingzhou coupons can only be exchanged after the road is repaired. Naturally, it is impossible for them to take out the money immediately when they make a fuss. Now they have only two ways to go. One is Continue to work honestly, and the second is to leave now.

If you work honestly, the best result is to get your own wages and settle down after arriving in Qingzhou. The worst result is to continue the previous days of being displaced and precarious.

If you leave now, you won't get any benefits. If you offend the king of Yan, you may be in trouble. After all, they don't know whether the king of Yan keeps his promise, but they have a bad reputation for the king of Yan. From what I heard, even though they have not received any harsh treatment in the past six months, their fear of the powerful has already been deeply rooted in their bones, and it is inevitable that they will be a little jealous of King Yan.

With such a balance, those refugees who were instigated to go on strike quickly realized their recklessness. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and the rare momentum was like a punctured skin. They picked up the things that were thrown on the ground one after another, and scattered them around lazily, doing what they should do. There were only a few dozen or so thorns left on the spot.

Ding Yong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, although he felt that with the power of the Yan Palace, these troublemakers were not to be feared, but the burden was placed on his shoulders, and he did not want the matter to become serious, lest the prince think he is incompetent.

He glanced at those thorns who stayed in place with no fear on their faces, and groaned in his heart: These people seem to come out of a sudden discussion, they must have been instructed by someone with a heart, but I don't know who is behind it. Make them so confident.

When he was thinking about it, there was a sudden commotion in the distance, he turned his head to look, and frowned: "What's going on?"

A follower quickly went to inquire, and when he came back, his face was very bad: "Master Ding, there are two women with disheveled hair over there, they are the daughters-in-law of two refugees here, they cried and said that they escaped from Qingzhou Yes, now those refugees are making trouble again!"

"From Qingzhou City? Escape?" Ding Yong felt bad when he heard it, and hurriedly walked towards the chaotic place, asking, "What's going on?"

The entourage followed quickly and explained: "What I heard from them is that they are basically saying that the Yan Palace imprisoned them in Qingzhou City and prevented them from leaving the city. The purpose was to hold them hostage and use them to control the refugees who built roads .”

Ding Yong was furious: "Absurd! I want to see who is behind the scenes! You quickly arrange people to stabilize the situation, and I will write a letter to the prince!"

"Yes! This subordinate will do it now! Don't worry, Mr. Ding, they won't make a fuss!"

Ding Yong frowned and nodded, he couldn't make a fuss, but it would really cause headaches for Prince Yan's Mansion. Others don't know, but he knows, the rumors are not wrong, Prince Yan's Mansion is indeed short of money now, if there is no money to take out, even if these people can be suppressed If it continues, the reputation of King Yan's Mansion will plummet. The prince has just returned to Qingzhou.

Feige's letter was quickly delivered to He Yuan's hands. He Yuan's face sank like water, and the entire Yan Palace was silent. The only people who were not affected were probably Xue Yunzhou and his two energetic children.

Just when He Yuan was furious, Song Quan came to the study and said in a low voice: "My lord, the family members of those refugees in the city have all left the city quietly, and my subordinates did not stop them, and only sent people to follow them separately. After going around a few times, they all headed towards the camp where the road was built."

He Yuan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said calmly, "The people behind are so generous!"

Although Song Quan couldn't see the strange expression on his face, he could intuitively know that he was angry, so he didn't dare to say more at the moment, and just waited for his order in silence.

He Yuan suddenly changed the subject: "Where is the princess?"

Song Quan was taken aback for a moment, and said blankly, "This subordinate doesn't know."

He Liangcai, who was guarding the outside room, leaned forward hurriedly, and replied cautiously: "My lord, my concubine just rushed to Taoist priest Wuchen."

He Yuan was a little surprised: "It's so late, what is he going to do?"

He Liangcai was bitter in his heart, secretly wondering why the princess would talk so much to my slave, but he smiled on his face: "The princess didn't say anything, it was dark, and the old slave couldn't see it clearly, it seems that seeing the smile on the princess's face, it must be Have something to be happy about."

He Yuan was refreshed, and a smile quickly appeared in his eyes.

He Liangcai is a fine person, and he will never talk nonsense about things that he is not sure about. Since he said that the princess is happy, then there must be something happy about it, and now he has to rush to the alchemy room. It seems... there is something wrong. Good news!

He Yuan's mood improved in an instant, and he told Song Quan: "Continue to follow those family members, don't startle the snake."

Song Quan bowed his head: "Yes!"

Not long after, the gates of Qingzhou city were opened wide, and the army all the way quietly meandered out of the city, and then hurried to the camp where the road was built.

On the other side of the camp, Ding Yong has quickly organized troops to arrest the troublemakers and silence them. The rest of the people who are restless have been controlled by confiscated tools, and the rest are timid or afraid that their family members are still in Qingzhou Those in the city did not dare to act rashly, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

In the dark night, there was only the faint sound of the torches, and the light of the fire shone on the faces of the refugees who were no longer skinny. Some were angry, some were disturbed, and some felt guilty.

Ding Yong broke into a cold sweat secretly. The number of refugees far exceeded his men, and the people behind him were hidden in the dark and hadn't made a move yet. If he couldn't control one of them, there might be trouble again at any time.

When he was worried, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from a distance. The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and it was particularly majestic in the dark night, like drums beating on human eardrums, making people's heads buzz.

Ding Yong's eyes lit up.

At the same time, those thorns whose hands and feet were bound and whose mouths were gagged also shined in front of their eyes.

Ding Yong glanced at their expressions sharply, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. With a thought, he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and take the leader of the trouble to a hidden place in the forest! Don't let anyone find out!"

The entourage next to him looked puzzled: "Didn't the reinforcements come?"

Ding Yong looked solemn: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

The attendant didn't dare to ask more questions, and hurried to carry out his order.

Not long after, hundreds of cavalry rushed out in the thick night fog, and quickly surrounded a group of soldiers headed by Ding Yong. At the same time, they were surrounded by arrows shining with a faint cold light.

The small open area was crowded with people at the moment, unarmed refugees gathered shoulder to shoulder in the very center, and the two circles of people on the periphery were confronting each other, their swords drawn.

Ding Yong narrowed his eyes to look at these intruders, and quickly assessed the situation in his mind. Although he had [-] soldiers on his side, most of them were infantry, while the opponent had about [-] cavalry, and their fighting power was far superior to his own. Three hundred cavalry is really hard to come by, maybe they can break through if they try their best, but there are still so many refugees, it is really impossible to act rashly.

Just as he was thinking, a man who looked like a leader on the other side pointed his whip and said arrogantly: "Let go of these refugees, I will spare you!"

Ding bravely smiled: "Don't go to fight the Tuli bandits, but point the arrow at the same robes of the same family. It's a great skill. I'm sorry for my ignorance. I don't know which general you are?"

When the man was provoked by him, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he snorted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! Let him go!" After speaking, his expression suddenly eased, and he turned his eyes to the refugees in the middle, "Don't worry, everyone. The kidnapped family members have been rescued by us, the foot soldiers here are not to be feared, and you will soon be able to reunite with your family members and regain your freedom."

Those refugees looked at me and looked at you, the look of surprise was quickly replaced by surprise, they obviously didn't know the origin of these cavalrymen, but they felt that the other party was here to help them, and some people were more sober and felt that there was no one in the world. Food for free, these people may come from bad people, after all, their current situation is much better than before, and they don't know what they will face if they follow these people.

Ding Yong used the light of the fire to see the expression changes of some refugees, and said coldly: "If you want to go with them, stand up now, I will never stop you!"

After the words fell, some people in the crowd hesitated for a moment, and finally fell silent again, no one dared to move.

The face of the leader on the opposite side changed slightly, his eyes quickly searched the crowd, and he muttered to himself: Didn't it be agreed that someone would take the lead in responding?What about people?

The refugees generally lacked assertiveness and courage, and had no one to take the lead.

At this time, those who took the lead in instigating troubles had been taken to the dense forest on the mountainside, tied up and hung from trees, and naturally they could no longer make trouble.

Ding Yong didn't dare to relax in the slightest, he fixed his gaze on the opposite leader, paying attention to his every move.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes sounded again in the distance, but this time the sound was very messy, mixed with the sound of wheels rolling over the ground, it turned out to be a large number of carriages.

The carriage stopped not far away, the curtains were lifted, and there were about a dozen people sitting in each carriage, all of them were old and weak, women and children, and those people all poked their heads and shouted the names of their men in disorder.

Immediately there was a commotion among the refugees, and Ding Yong quickly ordered people to narrow the encirclement, but this kind of pressure had little effect under the stimulation of the sudden appearance of his family members. It was almost suppressed by Ding Yong's people, but the number of refugees was so large that it would be uncontrollable if it continued.

The leader of the cavalry on the opposite side said at the right time: "Your family has been rescued. If you want to reunite, you might as well leave Qingzhou. I will definitely help you."

Ding Yong was furious, and looked at the opposite leader resentfully: "Today I will fight with you!"

As soon as the words fell, most of the [-] infantry divided up and pointed their weapons at the cavalry on the outside, and the two sides were at war again.

At this moment, there was another rumble of horseshoes, very fast.

The leader on the opposite side was shocked and hurriedly ordered: "Shoot the arrow!"

Ding Yong's side also quickly ordered that everyone no longer cared about the refugees, and tried their best to avoid the arrows shot from outside, and rushed forward at the same time, stabbing the cavalry with their spears.

The two sides quickly fought to one point.

A moment later, the sound of piercing the sky roared, and several sharp arrows shot at the backs of the outer cavalry "aggressively".

The screams sounded continuously.

After confirming that it was the reinforcements sent by the Yan Palace, Ding Yong was in high spirits, and immediately ordered to cooperate with them inside and outside, and hinted that there is no need to kill them all, and his morale immediately increased.

The reinforcements got closer and closer, and the cavalry immediately put away their bows and arrows, drew out their knives and fought the enemy at close quarters. Under the attack from both sides, the enemy was quickly defeated, and soon some timid and panicked and began to flee, unaware that the opponent deliberately left behind. He let himself go with a mouthful.

There were more and more deserters. Under Ding Yong's suggestion, a group of people quickly withdrew from the battle and quietly followed those deserters.

In less than half an hour, the sudden battle ended, the leader of the opponent was captured alive, and the rest of the dead and wounded fled. The army was routed, but it was a blessing in disguise for King Yan's Mansion, and more than 200 horses were seized.
