"The governor of Huizhou and the admiral of the imperial capital can be regarded as important officials of the court. At this time, how could he be easily assassinated by the White Lotus Sect? Even in Yuezhou and other places in the south, there are few local officials who can assassinate the White Lotus Sect above the county magistrate?" Yan Liqiang asked in surprise.

Another reason why Yan Liqiang came to the Imperial Capital alone this time was that he felt that the Imperial Capital was like the eye of a storm at this time. He came and went freely, no matter what, it was convenient and did not attract attention. Just like he had been along the way, no one would have thought that the dignified Supervisor Qi Yun would go on the road alone. If he had too many people, it would be inconvenient to encounter problems.

Although he has been mentally prepared for the current situation in the Imperial Capital City, the situation in the capital area in front of him is still far beyond Yan Liqiang's expectations.

"What's so strange about this? Isn't even Prime Minister Lin Qingtian assassinated?" An Shidao said this, looking around, his voice lowered, and his tone was a little solemn. "Brother, you have to be more careful when you go to the Imperial Capital this time. In the past few days, even the many powerful masters and powerful people of the White Lotus Sect who have been hiding for many years, such as the Jinglian Envoy, the Four Great Dharma Guardians, and the Eight Vajras, have all changed their faces and gathered in the capital. If you want to take advantage of the chaos, the governor of Huizhou and the admiral of the Imperial Capital were assassinated by the Jinglian Envoy of the White Lotus Sect..."

"Thank you, Brother An, for reminding me, I will be careful!" Yan Liqiang hugged An Shidao sincerely, then frowned slightly, thinking of something, "By the way, Brother An, you often travel to the capital to send wards. Do you know how many people in the capital have been moved away now? I heard that after the stone turtle in the capital was born, many people in the capital had fled. Those who left were well placed in the local area?"

"The people in this imperial capital have left a lot, but these four capitals are a little difficult..." An Shidao shook his head and sighed.

Yan Liqiang was stunned for a moment, "What, do those people don't believe what Shi Turtle said and are unwilling to leave?"

"Brother, don't you really know?"

"What do you know?"

"By the way, brother, you are in Ganzhou. Ganzhou is an important border town. It is 108,000 miles away from this capital. Many things happening here may not be published in the official residence newspapers. It is not surprising that you don't know!" An Shidao saw Yan Liqiang's expression on his face as if he didn't know, and then explained, "At the time when the stone turtle was born at the beginning of the year, many people did leave in this capital. However, most of the people who left were the powerful and officials in the capital. They had a way out and had money, so it was very convenient to leave. They packed up some gold, silver and soft materials, and left with carriages and guards. However, the family business of ordinary people is in the local area. How easy is it to leave if they want to leave the family, house the elderly and the young?"

"That's better than staying here and waiting to die. Do they really have to wait until the heavenly tribulation that Shi Turtle said has come down, and a radius of thousands of miles has turned into powder before they are willing to leave? At this time, breaking out is a way out..."

"In the past, it was not that easy to leave, at least you had to prepare, but now, even if ordinary people want to leave, it is not that easy!"

“Why?”

"Before August, the people in the capital were indeed able to leave freely, but there were not many people walking there at that time. Now, if the people in the capital wanted to leave, they needed to go to the government to open a road guide. If there was no road guide issued by the government, if they wanted to leave, they would be stuck at various checkpoints and be arrested..."

Such news shocked Yan Liqiang directly. He stayed for a long time before asking with some difficulty, "Lu Yin, why do you suddenly need Lu Yin again?"

"I heard from friends in the government that it was because there were too many people leaving, which formed refugees, which had a great impact on various places. There were a lot of chaos where the refugees in the capital were passing by. All regions were facing great enemies and were afraid of changes. Therefore, they could only control the number of people who could leave the capital, and finally needed the government's route to attract..."

"Didn't I hear that the court had already made a resettlement plan? Although there are many refugees in the capital, as long as each state and county work together to share a little with one place, wouldn't the refugees be resettled? Why is it like this now?"

"I also heard that this is the case, but for some reason, although the court did not say anything about the resettlement plan, it actually stopped..."

"Stop?" Yan Liqiang widened his eyes and asked with difficulty after a while, "The people in the capital now..."

"More people in the imperial capital have left, but in the four capitals, at least 90% of ordinary people have not left yet!"

Before, Yan Liqiang stood in the cold wind at the bow of the boat for a long time and didn't feel cold. But now, when he heard An Shidao's words, Yan Liqiang felt that his heart was frozen suddenly, and his whole body felt like he fell into an ice cave, his hands and feet were cold, and his brain was almost numb...

How could this happen? It has been more than nine months and nearly ten months since the birth of the stone turtle. This period is the golden time for escape. If you don’t leave at this time, it will be even more difficult to leave in the future, and it will cause chaos. In another nine months, when the heavenly tribulation comes, all the people in this capital will turn into dust and dust in the heavenly tribulation, and finally die miserably. At this time, the government has set up some way to lead the way, what are they doing? Let the people in the capital stay here, just to die...

The court stopped resettlement strategies for refugees in the capital. The people here need to be led by the way. This is a big deal. Even if the court's residence did not say these changes, Fang Beidou should have known them. Why didn't he tell himself the news?

Think about it, I have not contacted Fang Beidou for four or five months. Yan Liqiang thought that everything in the imperial capital was normal. Could it be that something happened to Fang Beidou and could not contact him?

"Brother, are you okay?" Seeing Yan Liqiang's face was extremely bad, white and green, and then didn't say anything for a while, An Shidao patted Yan Liqiang's shoulder next to him.

"I'm fine..." Yan Liqiang's face slowly returned to normal. He let out a long sigh, "Thank you, Brother An, for telling me this..."

"What's the point of thanking me? I really want to thank you. When we meet again next time, you'll just ask me to have a good drink. This time I know that you have a good job, and I'm also escorting the escort. I'll owe this wine..."

"Okay, that's the only thing that's right..." Yan Liqiang adjusted his emotions and a smile appeared on his face.

"Brother, look, when the boat passes the mountain in front, you will be able to see Huizhou City. Judging from the speed of the boat, we should be able to arrive before dark..." An Shidao pointed to the bow of the boat and said...

Half an hour later, Huizhou City, the western capital of Beijing, appeared on the distant horizon in a vast white wind and snow...
