Three days later.

Li Beifeng and his party traveled on a starry night and finally entered the territory of Beizhou.

The information from the previous investigation was almost the same as expected. The main official roads leading from Zhongzhou to Beizhou were all heavily guarded.

Most of the people in Beizhou who wanted to go south were blocked from going back. And those who wanted to enter Beizhou also needed to go through strict inspection and security before being allowed to go.

Something is obviously wrong with this!

The borders of Beizhou were suddenly heavily guarded by so many troops, and the movement of people was strictly restricted. It was obvious that something big had happened.

Thinking of the death of so many officials in Beizhou before, and the coming of winter, the situation in Beizhou has become increasingly chaotic... I'm afraid it has a lot to do with this.

Therefore, when Li Beifeng stepped into the territory of Beizhou, he could obviously feel that Beizhou's momentum was a lot tense.

There are fewer people on the streets!

The figure is in a hurry!

Continue all the way north to Sunset City.

The further north you go, the colder the weather becomes.

It's freezing cold, and the snow on the roadside has not yet completely melted. There are sparse villages in the distance, and you can't see the end at a glance.

"Is this Beizhou?"

Li Beifeng opened the window on the carriage and took a look at the scenery outside the window.

It was not much different from what he expected.

Beizhou...is really different from other places in Dazhao.

Once you leave Zhongzhou, you can clearly feel the difference, especially since you didn't see a few people along the way.

Even in the few villages I occasionally saw, there were only some old, young, sick and disabled people left in the villages...

Very weird!

Putting down the curtain and returning to the carriage, Li Beifeng took out a small box from the mezzanine on the side of the carriage.

Opening the box, I saw a piece of... "human skin" placed quietly in the alley!

Li Beifeng carefully picked up the "human skin" and slowly put it on his face...

After a short time, the "human skin" quickly adhered to his original skin and merged together.

Li Beifeng picked up the bronze mirror from the side, and an unfamiliar face was reflected in the bronze mirror. It was a very ordinary face, the kind that would not attract much attention even if it was placed in a crowd.

And Li Beifeng's whole demeanor has completely changed... Even if a familiar person is standing in front of him, he may not be able to recognize him at this moment.

Perfect!

He found this "human skin" from the Qin Tiansi Treasure Pavilion. This "human skin" is a dough made of heavenly silk. It can easily change a person's appearance without leaving any trace.

No matter how powerful the master is, it will be difficult to see the flaws.

Li Beifeng looked at his changed appearance in the mirror. Sure enough, there was no trace left... Even he couldn't recognize himself.

And it’s also somewhat... diaphragmatic!

Looking at the strange person in the mirror who is not me, I feel a little uncomfortable.

A bit weird!

Putting down the mirror, Li Beifeng stopped worrying about these things.

On this trip to Beizhou, Li Beifeng maintained a low-key style.

Back then, even a beggar in Dazhao could recognize him. Now that he has come to Beizhou, many people may have seen the Northern Qi emperor...

Therefore, before confirming his life experience, Li Beifeng cannot show his true identity to avoid causing trouble.

In addition, even Lin Ning and others began to hide their identities... This land of Beizhou is full of anti-Zhao forces. It would be somewhat disrespectful for people like them from Qin Tiansi to show up in a big way.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped gradually.

Lin Ning's voice came from outside the car: "Dharma protector!"

Li Beifeng slowly opened the car curtain: "What's the matter?"

Lin Ning appeared in front of the carriage and pointed not far in front of the carriage: "Look!"

Li Beifeng followed his gaze and saw that the ground not far away was still covered with thick snow.

On both sides of the road, there were many corpses lying scattered everywhere!

These corpses lay scattered in the streets, dying miserably.

On the ground beside it, there was frozen blood, which was bright red.

"Go and see what's going on!"

Lin Ning quickly went to the front to check. After a while, he came back and said in a deep voice: "Dragon protector, these people were all killed by sharp blades. Their throats were sealed with a sword. The murderer seems to be very skilled!"

Li Beifeng squinted his eyes slightly, "Who are these people?"

"It looks like they are all ordinary people fleeing..."

Lin Ning's tone was a little angry: "You actually attack defenseless people, damn it!"

As a member of Qin Tiansi, Lin Ning still upholds a sense of justice in his heart. The first rule of Qin Tiansi is not to attack ordinary people.

"It seems... a lot of things must have happened in Beizhou!"

Li Beifeng narrowed his eyes slightly. The imperial court heavily guarded the borders of Beizhou and blocked the news... The changes in Beizhou now must be more serious than what the intelligence said.

"Keep on going!"

Li Beifeng shook his head and ordered.

…

The group of people continued on the road, but this time, Li Beifeng did not return to the carriage.

The carriage continued heading north, and the weather became colder and colder.

Along the way, in addition to the people who died on the roadside just now, there were many more people who froze to death on the roadside.

The road is frozen to death!

Not far away, you can see the frozen corpses on the roadside. Judging from their clothes, they should be Beizhou people who want to flee south.

In the end, they could not survive the heavy snow and froze to death on the roadside.

As we go north, more and more people freeze to death.

The roadside is densely packed with countless...

Seeing this scene, Li Beifeng felt a little heavy in his heart.

In this era, winter is nothing more than a disaster for ordinary people!

If you can survive it, you will survive for another year in the coming spring. If you cannot survive it, this will be the end in front of you...

In this era of extremely low productivity, natural disasters are tantamount to the end of the world for ordinary people.

It snowed a lot this year, especially in the Beizhou area. After a heavy snowfall, I don’t know how many people will freeze to death and starve to death.

Coupled with the chaos in Beizhou and riots in various places... it is definitely a disaster for ordinary people in Beizhou.

"No wonder the news is blocked!"

Lin Ning, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, said in a serious tone: "So many people have died just now... How many people have died in Beizhou this winter?"

Li Beifeng's eyes were slightly cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

This winter is definitely a difficult one for the people of Beizhou!

…

As Li Beifeng and others moved further and further north, they gradually approached Sunset City.

There are fewer and fewer people freezing to death on the roadside, but the number of refugees is gradually increasing.

Refugees in ragged clothes, barely covered, shivering in the raging cold wind, walked on the streets, their eyes numb.

"Please, save me, save my child..."

A woman in tattered clothes, holding an infant child, knelt down in front of the carriage of Li Beifeng and others, blocking their way.

She looked pleading and her eyes were frightened: "Gentlemen, please save my child... please give me some food. The child has not eaten for two days and there is really no milk..."

The women begged and kowtowed repeatedly, while the infant children were also hungry and crying loudly.

Lin Ning stood in front of Li Beifeng with alert eyes. She glanced back at Li Beifeng and asked for instructions on what to do.

The closer they got to Sunset City, the more and more refugees were on the roadside, and they had encountered many obstacles along the way.

At the beginning of Gu/span, Li Beifeng was kind enough to give them dry food and money. However, the origins of these refugees were unknown, and there were many vicious people among them who wanted to kill people for money.

Therefore, if you encounter such a situation again, you have to take precautions.

Li Beifeng glanced at the woman in the cold wind, hesitated, and finally nodded: "Bring her some food!"
