Chapter 318: Besieged on All Sides

Because Qin Shu brought in reinforcements, the war ended faster than ever before.

Qin Shu left the general's mansion, thinking about the token all the way.

She bumped into someone unexpectedly, and when she looked up, she found that it was actually a child.

Compared with her, the one in front of her was a real child, who looked only six or seven years old.

"Sir, spare me! I didn't mean to offend you." He knelt down as he spoke.

Qin Shu took a step back calmly, "It's okay."

The child looked up at her eyes, got up quietly and planned to run away.

Qin Shu didn't stop him, but after he left, she followed him.

How could a little guy escape her tracking?

What's more, in peacetime, she still has spiritual energy.

Following this child, turning around for a long time, finally came to a dilapidated house.

It's called a house, but it actually looks more like a shack.

"Grandma, I have money now, I can treat you!"

He took out the golden token and showed it to his grandmother. The old lady glanced at it and scolded him to return the token.

The little boy was not happy. He said bluntly: "Grandma, your grandson has to treat you! If this thing can't be used to save people, it's just a dead thing!"

"You little bastard... cough cough... Grandma knows you are a good child, alas..."

As the old lady was talking, Qin Shu came out from the dark, "Old man, he is right. If it can't save people, no matter how good the thing is, it's just a dead thing."

The old woman supported herself on the bed with one hand and tried to straighten her body. She looked at Qin Shu with a confused face: "You... who are you?"

Qin Shu knew that these people were living people, and she couldn't treat them as illusions.

She raised her eyes to meet the old woman's chaotic eyes, curled her lips and smiled softly, "I am the owner of the token."

She cut a piece from the red gold token and gave it to the seriously ill old woman, and then she left here.

The child chased after her and shouted at Qin Shu, "Why are you helping me?"

Qin Shu stopped and didn't look back. She just looked at the half-blocked sunset on the city wall and said softly, "We defend our country so that the people can live and work in peace. If the people are not living, the country is not a country, and the family is not a family, why bother to defend this city?"

When she said this, she didn't hide it at all. Not only the child who stole her token, but everyone else heard it.

She raised her foot to leave, and someone else rushed out and knelt in front of Qin Shu and kowtowed, "Sir, please save our family. There are eight people in my family, with old and young. Now two taels of silver can't buy a bucket of rice. We can't afford to eat at home."

This person seemed to have started it. Others knelt in front of Qin Shu one after another. Qin Shu originally wanted to take out the food in the storage ring and share it with them.

But for some reason, it seemed that it was not something from this world, and they couldn't see it at all.

Qin Shu looked down at the token in her hand and suddenly thought of something.

If this world is regarded as a game, this red gold token is just a prop. There is no single designated way to pass the game. In the final analysis, it is all about saving the people.

She thought again and again, and made up her mind. She raised her head and threw the token in her hand, "You can share it."

Seeing them crying with joy, Qin Shu thought for a while and said, "Live well, the war will definitely end."

Qin Shu looked at them kowtowed to her, feeling a little unworthy, and left here in a flash.

She is not a god, and she can't save a group of people by raising her hand.

Even sharing this token with them has her own selfish motives. She just... wants to get out.

She came to the top of the city wall, found a deserted place, and then quietly contacted the mercenaries she hired at a high price.

[Where are you all? ]

[Desert. ]

[I'm in an oasis. ]

[I don't know where I am either. It seems that there is a lake above my head, or it may be the sea. 】

[Crater. 】

[On the battlefield! 】

…

Everyone was in a different scene. Of the sixty-two people she hired, only four were on the battlefield with her, and she didn't know whether they were on the same battlefield as her.

She thought for a while and asked again: [Did everyone get any useful information? Do you know how to get out of this predicament? ]

[Escape? Isn't it treasure hunting at the bottom of the lake? What else do you want to escape from? ]

[Yeah... I always thought there was treasure hidden in the crater...]

Qin Shu: […]

She didn't even realize she was trapped. Did she really hire a few idiots for such a high price?

For a moment, Qin Shu didn't want to talk anymore. It seemed that she had to rely on herself for everything.

She always felt that the token and those who shared the gold would not appear out of thin air. There must be some other arrangements. They might be the key to escape from this predicament.

But... she hadn't thought of the specific connection yet.

After a night, Qin Shu woke up from her meditation.

She found that even in the secret realm, she could still practice with the moonlight.

She stood up and stretched her arms. Just as she stretched her arms halfway, she heard the familiar horn sound again.

The general appeared on the city wall at some point and waved his hand, "Prepare for battle!"

Qin Shu drew out her iron sword again, but this time, she suddenly found that there were many more people behind her.

After a closer look, they were the people she had saved yesterday.

When she looked over, one of them immediately raised his arms and shouted, "We are with the generals! Let's defend our home together!"

Qin Shu looked at them, both men and women, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

She herself didn't know how long this battle to defend the city would last. It wouldn't just drag on year after year, right?

While thinking, she stood on the battlements of the city wall like an emotionless puppet, driving down the people who were about to climb up one by one.

At this moment, Qin Shu suddenly found that there was music behind her.

She glanced with her peripheral vision and saw three young prostitutes sitting cross-legged on the ground with a zither on their knees.

The melodious music formed a sharp contrast with the battlefield full of shouts and killings, and no one tried to stop them.

Qin Shu didn't know if it was her illusion, but the fighting spirit of these soldiers seemed to have really decreased a lot.

Qin Shu suddenly remembered the story of being surrounded by enemies. Could it be that... this zither sound had such an effect?

Not only Qin Shu discovered this, but the general also discovered it.

They have been in an advantageous position for three consecutive days. Now the enemy's morale is unstable, and it is a good time to attack.

After several rounds of crazy arrows, he ordered the city gate to be opened.

"Kill!"

Looking at the soldiers pouring out, Qin Shu's mind suddenly became clear.

It turned out that whether they were defending the city or attacking the city, they were passive.

But now they have turned from passive to active, and the battlefield has gradually been led by them.

Qin Shu was thinking, and a drum sounded behind her, and the people sang a war song.

At this moment, she was willing to believe that everyone was connected and stood together.

She smiled suddenly, picked up the sword and chased out without looking back.

Tie Niu was still shouting behind him, "Junior brother! Wait for me!"
