Chapter 121 Human Life is Worthless

Xia Daohua was so anxious that smoke seemed to come out of her throat!

My face felt very hot. If I cracked an egg on it, it would be fried in less than three minutes.

My forehead was also steaming hot, and it felt like a steamed bun just out of the pot, with white steam coming out!

However, because of this distraction, her hand movements were not so smooth.

The drone nearly fell several times, and it kept circling and changing directions in the air, sometimes rising high and sometimes diving, which actually added a mysterious effect.

At this time, the enemy scouts had already discovered the hydrogen balloon in the sky and the banner below the hydrogen balloon, and were horrified.

Of course, most of them were illiterate and had no idea what was written on the banner.

But a swaying thing appeared in the air and slowly floated towards their team. There was a long silk cloth hanging on it, and it was obviously written with words, so they could still recognize it.

A scout had already hurriedly turned back on horseback and reported the news.

The leader of the team was a man with a bad temper. Upon hearing this, he immediately whipped the scout who brought the news and scolded him for talking nonsense.

The unfortunate scout felt very wronged when he was hit, but he dared not resist and could only bear it.

It didn't take long before not only the scouts but other soldiers also noticed something strange in the sky.

There were indeed people in their team who could recognize the Da Chu language. When they saw the words on the banner, their faces suddenly became confused and uncertain:

"It says 'Beiguan Town welcomes you'... Could it be that Beiguan Town is prepared?"

The leader of the team flatly denied:

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! That news was personally delivered by Xiao Lubuhua's personal bodyguard Xiao Magu, how could it be wrong?

We have been walking along this road all the way, and haven't the Chu people shown any reaction at all?

If Beiguan Town knew the news, how could they let us in? Even if they wanted to lure the enemy in, how could they let us in? Why would they leave so many people in the villages ahead?"

Xia Daohua didn't know at this time that this group of people had quietly massacred several villages in front of them.

Because the populations of those villages are relatively small - the smallest village has only three households, less than 20 people - and they are all located deep in the mountains and forests, so they are not very wealthy.

The enemy troops only managed to loot a small amount of gold, silver and jewelry, so they could just hide it in their arms.

As for the food and vegetables, they were eaten directly in the village. They only brought three days' worth of dry food with them, and the rest of the supplies were simply thrown into the water.

The main reason why it was not burned was to cover up the tracks.

On weekdays, they came out to forage for food and grain, and not only robbed gold, silver, treasures, cloth and cotton clothes, but also robbed grain, vegetables, meat, chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, pigs, cattle and sheep, and also abducted women and children.

But this time, they came mainly as the first wave of exploratory troops to cause destruction in the territory of Da Chu. They simply slaughtered all the villages they encountered.

Therefore, they did not carry much spoils on their horses, but only hid some valuable gold and silver in their arms.

When Xia Daohua observed them through a telescope from the tree, she only saw a large group of people, but she didn't know that they had already burned, killed and looted many villages.

Otherwise, Xia Daohua would probably be so angry that she would come up with something other than just trying to scare them away.

The path they were taking was the same path where Xiao Lubuhua had hidden during the most intense period of the manhunt.

Although Xiao Lubuhua was a Hu person, he spoke the language of the Great Chu very well. After changing into Chu people's attire, he could perfectly integrate into the Chu people.

But before that, Beiguan Town was searching for him and the situation was very tense. Many of his main bases were exposed and he could not afford the losses, so he hid in the mountains.

After that, he discovered this road.

This road is inconvenient to walk on and it is difficult for large troops to pass smoothly.

But this small group of two or three hundred people can still get through if they walk slowly and climb over mountains and hills with more difficulty.

In this way, they could bypass Da Chu's defense line on the border, advance vertically, pass through Beiguan Town, and penetrate into the prosperous city inside Da Chu.

Whether it is burning, killing, looting, or destroying, or gathering intelligence and stalking, taking this route will allow you to do it without anyone noticing, and it is very convenient.

Xiao Lubuhua had been tracked and forced by Li Gan before, and he was as panic-stricken as a dog that had lost its home.

If Xia Daohua had not given the defense map to Li Gan, Li Gan would have been so busy monitoring the loopholes in the defense line that he could not take care of this for a while, and Xiao Lubuhua might have been caught.

It was not until more than two months later that Xiao Lubuhua received news from his insider who was lurking in the court, and learned that Li Gan had unexpectedly gained something in Beiguan Town, and he retrieved the defense map.

Xiao Lubuhua was almost angry to death by this news.

He himself didn't know where he lost the defense map, and yet Li Gan was able to find it!

Could it be that this damn Li Gan was born by God to be his nemesis?

Fortunately, he discovered this path while hiding, and he escaped capture several times by using it.

The most important thing is that there are no garrisons along this road, only a few villages with small populations.

The villagers don't keep in touch with the outside world much, so they are all easy to deceive.

He had bought food rations and a few old hens from these villages several times.

This time, he sent his personal guard Xiao Magu to report the news of this route back to the country. Although the emperor's brother always disliked him, his attitude towards Da Chu had not changed.

Therefore, the order was given very quickly and the people below immediately sent out the team.

Xiao Lubuhua had not yet joined the team, so he naturally didn't know that they had already massacred those villages. However, even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything.

He didn't feel even a bit sad just because those villages had sold things to him.

Their northern barbaric land was barren and survival was difficult, and they were very weak at the beginning. In order to compete for some survival resources, they even killed their own people.

Which of the tribes that have survived to this day is not a tough guy?

How could one feel sad for the weak, gullible, lamb-like Chu people?

To these northern barbarians, human life is worthless. This is not just an adjective but a fact.

Not only the Chu people, who were as weak as lambs, groaned, begged for mercy and cried endlessly under the butcher knives of the northern barbarians, their lives were worthless.

The lives of the northern barbarians themselves are also worthless.

The northern barbarians are like weeds. No matter how harsh the environment is, they will try their best to survive.

The northern barbarians are like a pack of wolves. When facing weak lambs like the Chu people, they will naturally take full advantage!
