Chapter 983: Surrender the Equipment

The army was stationed in the city.

Ning Chen sent people to open porridge stalls while searching for living people in the city.

Of course, the bodies in the city had to be dealt with, and the city walls and houses had to be repaired, so these more than 60,000 captives from Xiliang came in handy.

The sound of gongs!

The soldiers rang the gongs and shouted: "Fellow villagers of Xiguan City, we are under the command of the Regent King of Daxuan. The prince is here to save you. There are porridge stalls at the four city gates. You can go to get porridge."

What Ning Chen didn't expect was that at night, Yuan Long came to report that more than 3,000 living people had been found.

The next day, after counting, the number of people who came to get porridge reached more than 6,000.

After years of war, all the dignitaries ran away, leaving only the poor people to die.

They lacked food and clothing, and had to hide everywhere to avoid being killed by the Xiliang soldiers... Life was so hard!

In the next few days, the number of living people continued to increase.

They were severely injured by the Xiliang soldiers, like a frightened bird, hiding in fear at the slightest movement.

In the past few days, the soldiers of Daxuan have been patrolling the city with the sound of the horn.

Tell them that it is not the Xiliang army that entered the city this time, but the regent of Daxuan, Ning Chen.

Everyone gradually let down their guard and walked out of the cellar or the shaky houses.

Five days later, after statistics, there are still more than 20,000 people alive in Xiguan City.

Ning Chen's eyes were red.

100,000 people, only 20,000 survived.

It was hard for him to imagine how these 20,000 people survived?

Ning Chen looked at Yuan Long and said in a deep voice: "Starting tomorrow, half of the rations of the prisoners will be deducted to ensure that every citizen can have a bowl of porridge and a coarse grain cake a day.

The prisoners only need to rest for two and a half hours a day, and first repair the houses in the city that can be used and easy to repair, so that the people can have a place to live."

Yuan Long said: "If the food is reduced by half, I am afraid that the prisoners will not be able to withstand such high-intensity labor."

Ning Chen glanced at him, "Yuan Long, are you sympathizing with them?"

Yuan Long hurriedly said: "No!"

Ning Chen said coldly: "Don't forget who caused the current situation in Xiguan City? Those Xiliang captives can die if they can't bear it. If they die, they can save a lot of food.

Do you know what a captive is? It means slaves... I am not afraid to tell you that I have no intention of letting these 60,000 captives from Xiliang live."

Yuan Long trembled and said hurriedly: "General, I get the order!"

Ning Chen said: "King Wu should be here soon in the next two days. Send scouts to keep an eye on him and be ready to respond at any time."

"Yes!"

Just then, a Ning'an soldier asked for an audience.

Ning Chen waved his hand and motioned Yuan Long to go down first.

After Yuan Long retreated, Ning Chen asked the Ning'an soldier to come in.

"Your Highness, General Lei asked me to inform you that there is a discovery."

Ning Chen's eyes condensed slightly, he stood up and grabbed the sword leaning against the table, and said: "Lead the way!"

.......

It was getting dark.

The porridge stall would not be open until the evening.

After Xiao Yanxi finished cleaning up, she took a dozen soldiers to find Ning Chen.

In the past few days, she has been helping to distribute porridge.

Not only did she distribute porridge, she also prepared herbs and treated the people.

Although 20,000 people survived in Xiguan City, these people have been lacking food and clothing for a long time and their physical condition is very poor.

Every day, a few people who came to get porridge would faint.

At first, there were only porridge stalls at the four city gates.

Now there are more than 30 porridge distribution points in the city.

Ning Chen sent a military doctor to each porridge store to treat sick people for free.

There were not enough military doctors, so Xiao Yanxi volunteered to help.

It was too cold, Xiao Yanxi wrapped her cloak tightly and quickened her pace.

Suddenly, she slowed down and looked around vigilantly. I don’t know why? She felt like she was being spied on.

But after looking for a long time, she didn’t find anything wrong.

Maybe I was too suspicious. Xiguan City is now full of Ning Chen’s people. Who dares to act rashly?

In fact, Xiao Yanxi’s feeling was right. Someone was following her in secret.

This man was dressed in white, like a ghost in the snow... Xiao Yanxi was followed by a dozen soldiers, but no one noticed the existence of the man in white.

The man in white had been following Xiao Yanxi, as if waiting for a suitable opportunity?

Suddenly, the man in white suddenly dodged and hid in the shadow of the corner of the wall, because a group of people appeared on the opposite side.

The man in white wanted to wait for the other party to pass by.

But when the group of people came to the place where he was hiding, they suddenly stopped, and they all raised their muskets at the same time.

Bang bang bang!!!

Without any warning, the gunshots rang out.

Clang clang clang!!!

In the darkness, sparks flew.

But soon, it returned to calm.

Ning Anjun immediately changed to a compound bow.

But just as they bent their bows and arrows and prepared to shoot, the man in white suddenly jumped up, climbed over the wall behind him and disappeared.

But everyone saw that the man in white had a bright red on his left arm, and it was obvious that he was shot.

The man in white climbed over the wall and landed, and his face changed drastically.

Because on the other side of the wall, a team of Ning'an soldiers, about a dozen people, were waiting for him with guns.

"Don't move, if you dare to move, I will turn you into a sieve immediately."

Lei An shouted sternly.

How could the man in white sit and wait for death? After all, he was a super master. His figure flashed, like a flat-bottomed flight, and rushed into the alley next to him.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the alley, dense bullets were waiting for him.

Bang bang bang!!!

The sound of gunfire rang out in the alley.

But it did not hit the man in white.

The man in white was very skilled. When he found an ambush in the alley, he dodged to the side.

"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet him here. We are really destined to meet."

At this time, a teasing voice sounded.

And this voice came from the roof behind the man in white.

He looked up suddenly, and his eyes shrank sharply.

Ning Chen leaned on his sword and looked at him with a teasing look.

Although the man in white was wearing a mask, his eyes were obviously afraid.

He could ignore the Ning An army. Although the musket was powerful, it took too much time to load the ammunition. Besides, there were only about a hundred Ning An soldiers here. It was not difficult for him to leave.

But he didn't expect Ning Chen to come too.

Ning Chen's skills were not inferior to his. With the addition of the Ning An army, it would be difficult to get away today.

The man in white stared at Ning Chen and deliberately changed his voice, his voice was hoarse, "Ning Chen, you seem to have expected me to show up?"

Lei An said angrily: "How dare you! You are so bold to call the prince by his name?"

Ning Chen waved his hand and smiled: "Lei An, don't get angry with this kind of spineless person who can only inform the enemy, it's not worth it!"

As he said, his eyes fell on the man in white, and he said word by word: "Nonsense, if I hadn't expected you to show up, how could I set up an ambush here?

Because you informed Xiliang, more than 10,000 of my Daxuan soldiers were killed or injured. You must pay for this blood debt.

Surrender, the ghost in the painting...Bai Qingfan!"

The man in white froze slightly, but his eyes became sharper!
