Chapter 364: Eager to Return

In the southern part of Beiping County, on a slope near a water source, more than 20,000 people are stationed.

Everyone set up camp together and cooked rice. It was so lively.

At this moment, a group of about a hundred ragged people appeared behind them.

Before they could get close to the main force, they were stopped by the escort, "What do you do?"

Looking at the guards with arrows pointing at them and stern faces, an old man with a gray beard stood up and said tremblingly, "Sir, the Nanyang Earth Dragon has turned over. We are refugees who escaped, not bad people. "

Yue Shu ordered his men, "Go and ask Mr. Lu Liu or Mr. Xue or Mr. Liu to come."

"good!"

Xue Xu did not expect that their large force would be overtaken by the refugees from Nanyang.

"This uncle -" Xue Xu looked at the gray-bearded old man.

"My surname is Luo. What should I call this noble man?"

"My surname is Xue."

Two-quarters of an hour later, the more than a hundred refugees had washed their hands and sat down to eat.

"Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

"Come on, have a drink of water."

Yue Shu looked at the refugees in front of him and couldn't help but think of himself and his family before.

Xue Xu waved his fan and asked, "Uncle Luo, why don't you wait for the government to come to provide disaster relief?"

Old Man Luo sighed and said, "When there was a flood in the Southland, the court delayed for a month before starting to resettle the victims. We were afraid that we would not wait until then and would simply come after you."

The Luo family in Nanyang was good at tending flowers. After the earthquake, they went to the fields to see the landform. The landform changed and their fields were gone. The aftermath of the Nandi disaster relief operation has given them no hope of getting their fields back.

"How did you know about us?" Liu Erxi, who was beside Xue Xu, asked curiously. They didn't pass through Nanyang at all on their way north.

"Your caravan's benevolence and righteousness have saved so many refugees in the Southland. The reason why we know your caravan is because some refugees who were favored by your caravan transferred to our Nanyang to seek relatives. After the Nanyang Earth Dragon turned over, they They’re all chasing you. Why, didn’t they catch you?”

At the beginning of the journey north, some people did break away from the main force, some of them separated normally and some of them abnormally.

"You are the first batch of Nanyang refugees to catch up with us." Liu Erxi said.

As soon as these words came out, both sides fell silent.

There were many people from the south who were listening with their ears pricked up. After hearing this, they were extremely glad that they had been following the large army to the north. Otherwise, we don’t know what trouble we will encounter.

Xue Xu asked, "Are there many refugees like you who have escaped?"

"There's a lot, why not more?"

"Yes, many people are fleeing."

Just because I heard that Nandi delayed resettling refugees for a month, many people did not die waiting in Nanyang.

"Masters, please take us in, we can work!" Uncle Luo said, kneeling down.

Others begged them in the same way, "Well-meaning nobles, please."

Qin Sheng quickly supported Uncle Luo with his eyes and hands. Uncle Luo found that he couldn't kneel down.

Xue Xu looked at this scene with a smile, "I can take you in, but there are some rules that I have to explain to you clearly. If you can accept it, then stay. If you can't accept it, please find another way out."

Uncle Luo and others nodded hurriedly, "Okay, Mr. Xue, please tell me." They understand the rules.

…

Xue Xu said, "Sixth Master, I would like to arrange for some people to stay and welcome friends from Nanyang."

"Well, let's arrange another group of people in Guangyang to save our friends going north from getting lost."

Qin Sheng nodded, "Your idea is very good, just right. I also have an idea."

Xue Xu inexplicably had a bad premonition, "What do you think?"

Qin Sheng: "I remember that there are many cottages in Liaoxi County, especially on the two roads we must pass back to Liaodong County, there are cottages blocking the road."

Xue Xu looked at him with a look that could see through everything, "Hmm, what next?" Who doesn't know that you are eager to return home?

"Then, I want to be a vanguard, leading a group of people to go ahead and flatten all the thorns on the road, so that the large troops behind can pass by. What do you think?" Qin Sheng looked back seriously, as if I had returned home. Arrow, but I also work.

Xue Xu: Very good. One of them takes care of the head and the other takes care of the tail. They work together perfectly.

"If you have no objection, then it's settled. I will take one thousand of the seven thousand escorts away, and I will leave Yue Shu and Liu Erxi with you. These people will be left to you. There is still a short distance to go. You take them back."

"I'll give you two thousand people, hurry up and leave." Xue Xu waved his hand, shooing away people like flies.

"Okay."

Qin Sheng immediately ordered two thousand guards to take them away very quickly, for fear that Xue Xu would regret it.

Liaoxi County, Beizhen, Liufuzhai

Liufu Village, which had been peaceful for a long time, finally couldn't help but take action. They ransacked a village with lightning speed. Not only did they steal all the money and food, but they also robbed several beautiful women and even killed them. people.

In less than two hours, they returned to the village with their loot, and several beautiful women were imprisoned separately.

Two women carried wooden buckets into a room and began to feed the women water one by one.

"Come, drink water!"

As soon as Shi Xue's mouth was empty, she immediately shouted, "Let me go quickly, or I will ask my father to destroy your copycat village later!"

Shi Xue didn't expect that she was just in a bad mood and came to visit her nanny in a simple way, but she encountered bandits robbing the village, and they were taken away by the bandits.

The two maids turned a deaf ear to her, and the maid who fed her water handed a spoonful of water to her mouth.

Shi Xue struggled, but unfortunately her hands and feet were tied with strong ropes.

"Did you hear me? Let me go! Otherwise, you will all die without a burial place!"

"Oh, you are so arrogant, who is your father?"

Shi Xue raised her face and said proudly, "My father is Shi Tao, the governor of Pingzhou!"

"Hehe, if your father is the governor of Pingzhou, then my father is the emperor."

Song Mo: ... Thank you, I can't give birth to a daughter in her forties.

Seeing that coercion didn't work, Shi Xue changed to bribery, "Two mothers-in-law, please let me go. I'll ask my father to give you silver, lots of silver."

"Little girl, don't waste your breath. Our second in command has taken a fancy to you and wants to take you as his fourth concubine."

Shi Xue was furious when she heard this, "He dares?"

The old woman grabbed her hand and pinched it hard.

"Ah!" Shi Xue's eyes were red after being pinched like this, "You dare to pinch me? You guys in this broken village are really brave. I'll ask my father to destroy you-"

Seeing that she was still stubborn, the old woman grabbed the flesh around her waist and twisted it hard again.

"Woo woo-" Shi Xue's tears came out.

"You should be glad that the second in command has taken a fancy to you, otherwise your face would have been swollen long ago based on your rebellious and disobedient appearance just now."

"Be honest, or you will suffer."

Shi Xue shed two lines of clear tears.
