Chapter 1054 He also has someone he wants to protect
King Lao Zhuo was stunned. Apparently he was used to living in fine clothes and fine food, and had never thought about such a problem.
"You think we don't want Beicang Country to get better and better? But look at what kind of life we are living."
The man said with a wry smile on his face.
"In the past two years, we have finally had good weather and hoped for a good harvest, but the court has increased taxes again and again. We have worked hard for more than half a year, and apart from the taxes we paid, the rest is not enough to feed our family of five. It's like this
Under the heavy burden, we can no longer hold on!"
Because he often didn't have enough to eat, his poor child was frail and sickly. He died at just over one year old.
At home, his mother was seriously ill in bed, and even he was sick.
On days like this, he couldn't see any hope at all.
He only hoped that someone could save them from the fire and water.
He just wants to live.
King Lao Zhuo looked at the man who was speaking. His clothes were very thin and even torn in several places. The straw sandals on his feet even had a thumb exposed.
Not only him, but those who gathered around him were not wearing much better clothes either.
You must know that it has been raining for several days in Ziyou City, and the temperature has already dropped.
Wearing this kind of clothing, even a normal person will become sick from the cold.
People dressed like him are very common in Ziyou City. When he came here just now, he almost saw people dressed like this.
King Lao Zhuo lowered his head to compare the silk and satin on his body and the thick fabric, and seemed to realize something.
If the people can't even guarantee the most basic food and clothing, why should he ask them?
It is shameful to say that he has been a feudal prince for so many years, but he has never cared about what kind of life the people are living.
After watching this journey, King Lao Zhuo probably understood the meaning of Ji Wujue.
Now that Ziyou City's defeat has been decided, it is better to surrender early to prevent innocent people from being harmed. After all, these people have already suffered enough.
"I remember that you are not a soft-hearted person."
King Lao Zhuo looked at Ji Wujue. When he was on the battlefield, he was so decisive in killing that everyone was afraid when he saw him.
How could such a person be so soft-hearted for the sake of the enemy's people on the battlefield?
Ji Wujue glanced at Old Zhuo Wang indifferently, "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask!"
During the few days that he and Luo'er were in Ziyou City, they often saw many people with sallow complexions and thin skin. Although Luo'er didn't say anything, he knew that Luo'er would definitely have a burden in her heart. Even though they said they
The army's food and weapons have been robbed to avoid a head-on conflict, but if King Lao Zhuo decides to continue the stalemate, the soldiers of Beicang Kingdom will definitely snatch the people's food rations everywhere. In a few days, the people of Ziyou City will be
No one can predict what tragedy will happen if we fall into a situation without food.
All he can do is avoid such a tragedy.
King Lao Zhuo suddenly laughed, "Emperor Donglan, don't you think you are hypocritical? You provoked a war and then pity the people? You really let you fool both the good and the bad!"
"I started the war? Yes! I sent troops to the city to attack Beicang! But the one who really started the war was your Majesty Helian Yu, the Emperor of Beicang! Your Emperor Beicang tried to attack my wife over and over again. He
Such a blatant provocation, if I don't beat him up, wouldn't he think that I, Donglan, are weak and can be bullied? He can hurt the people around my wife this time, but next time he will dare to hurt her directly!"
"As the emperor of Beicang Kingdom, Helian Yu should know that his every move affects the entire Beicang!"
It is impossible for him to stop the current war for the sake of these people, because he also has people he wants to protect!
