As the brocade-robed man ordered the search, screams continued from the bottom of Eagle's Beak Cliff. The men who forged weapons worked daily amid the screams, and from time to time they would see a few people being taken in.
After a while.
He was dragged out like a dead dog, covered in blood.
They were so scared that they put more strength into forging iron, but they always felt that they didn't have enough strength and would go in vertically and come out sideways.
The guards at the foot of Eagle's Beak Cliff were all replaced by new personnel. The new guards were very serious, and the red tasseled spears in their hands shone coldly.
As for where those people went before?
Nobody knows.
No one cares.
Yingyi rescued the two guard captains in the ice and snow outside. He sent the two dying men to the bamboo building that Gu Beiheng had visited before, and poured the potion he brought with him into their bodies.
He took care of the two people for a whole night and used a lot of medicine to save their lives.
He always felt that the life-saving potion that the lady had given them was the key to saving these two people. The lavender water smelled of a sweet fragrance.
Other medicines are just icing on the cake.
The two men woke up.
He stared at the roof motionlessly, without saying a word.
Like a dead person.
Yingyi stood in front of the two and sneered:
"What? I dug you out of the dead. I used so many good medicines to save your lives, and now you still don't want to live or want to die?"
Yingyi took a dagger and threw it over.
"It's easy to die if you want to. Slit your throat if you dare." Ying Yi's face was grim, and he threw the dagger over, flashing a cold light. "I will never save you a second time."
The two men's eyes moved, and the older one picked up a dagger.
His eyes, devoid of any emotion, fell on the dagger, and after a long while he gave a wry smile.
"Hahaha, hahaha. They actually killed all of us just for something that disappeared. It's hateful that hundreds of our lives were taken away by just one sentence from them."
"No chance to defend yourself."
As he spoke, his eyes grew colder, and he gritted his teeth and spoke word by word:
"I refuse to accept this. I want to avenge my dead brothers." Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. Among those guards was his younger brother.
He roared, "Revenge."
Saliva spurted out from the corner of his mouth.
His younger brother joined the army because he admired him.
Finally, after many twists and turns, he came here and always obeyed the arrangements of his superiors. However, he did not expect that those superiors would take his brother's life.
Even he was lucky enough to save his life.
And those men who followed him, those loyal and sincere young people.
He felt guilty towards his brothers.
The man next to him slowly tried to stand up and sit up, but his injuries were too severe and it was tearing and hurting the corners of his mouth.
Finally, he gave up sitting up and lay on the ground, looking at Yingyi with a complicated expression.
"I don't know who you are, but you saved my life, Cao Wei. From now on, besides revenge, this life belongs to you."
Revenge must be taken.
The man in front lowered his dagger. "My life, Lü Hanshan, is yours. I know you're not one of them, you must be their enemy."
Yingyi showed off the dagger a few times.
A sly smile:
"Of course they are enemies. My master only trusts his own men and would never do such a shameless thing."
The two people lying down: ...It hurts. My friend.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng brought a few skilled men to Yun County, where a large number of refugees gathered at the city gate.
The number of people patrolling the city gate is ten times greater than usual.
As the carriage approached the city gate, a large number of refugees surrounded it, some even trying to steal things.
Ying Shiyi and Wei Dagou were holding shining swords in their hands. Even Su Qi, who was sitting in the carriage, was holding a crossbow pointing at the window, ready to fire at any time.
The crowd who were looting saw this scene.
I feel a little scared.
Everyone stopped.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. There are so many of us, why should we be afraid of them?"
Someone in the crowd was hiding in the back and yelled, "Let's go up and kill them. If we take their things, we'll have food and drink."
Su Qi aimed the crossbow in his hand at the person who was speaking and fired a burst of shots.
Three arrows were shot out, one of which pierced the man's ear, right next to his face. Another fell to the ground and one pierced his arm.
It wasn't that she didn't want to shoot the man.
It was because the man was far away, and he dodged and didn't seize the opportunity.
Unlike when he shot Old Huangtou, he was following him closely and took advantage of his unpreparedness.
"Ah~. Help me."
The man who instigated others didn't expect to be shot accurately while hiding behind.
He started shouting and screaming.
"Human combat? It depends on who of you is willing to sacrifice his life and take the lead." Su Qi blew the crossbow coldly and made a handsome gesture.
His cold eyes swept over the onlookers.
When those people heard Su Qi's words, they couldn't help but step back.
Everyone hopes others will take over.
Wait until the person is almost dead, then go up and reap the benefits.
"We're all at our wit's end. You've got to let us live, right?" someone cursed in frustration. "If there was a way to survive, why would we leave our homeland?"
"Where are you from?"
"From Jinyang Prefecture."
Jinyang Prefecture?
It should be the provincial capital.
Su Qi asked loudly, "Did the prefect take any countermeasures?"
The man spat and cursed angrily, "The prefect has brought his soldiers to surround the city, and no one can enter.
Let's go to Jin'an Prefecture to find a way out. We headed northwest to Yun County and found that the people there lived a very stable life.
The implication is self-evident.
Su Qi cursed Zhang Shuishan, the prefect who did not stand up for the people, in her heart.
Looking at these foolish people, Su Qi felt indescribable. It was truly like an official who didn't serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.
Naturally, these people believed whatever the prefect advocated.
"Prefect Zhang Shuishan is quite clever. He brought the wealthy families of Jinyang Prefecture to enjoy themselves in the prefectural capital. If he were to send you elsewhere, the disaster in Jin'an Prefecture would only be more serious than that in Jinyang Prefecture."
Su Qi stuck his head out of the carriage and cast a cold gaze on the group of people with different expressions.
"If you had listened carefully to the county government's instructions and not engaged in looting and vandalism, why would this have happened? Don't just follow others' instigation. Think about those who instigated you in the first place."
"Yes. It seems that we haven't seen those people since we left Jinyang Prefecture?"
"Damn it. I fell into a trap."
"Son of a bitch, if I meet those people I will kill them."
"Madam, you seem to have a kind heart. Please show us a clear way." An old man knelt down tremblingly with a child.
The others were stunned.
Then he knelt down as well.
The person who was shot rolled his eyes to the sky. Only such a vicious woman had a kind heart.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng looked at each other, and her eyes darkened.
Said coldly:
"Don't make trouble. Follow County Magistrate Zhou's instructions. You must believe unconditionally what the County Magistrate says.
If anyone dissented, it must be someone who was jealous of the people's good life and was deliberately inciting trouble."
Su Qi opened the car curtain, paused, and said, "If you are instigated by others again, you will only seek your own death.
God will not save those who seek death. You will do whatever you want."
After Su Qi finished speaking, she lowered the curtain and sat back in the carriage.
The city gate slowly opened.
Two columns of soldiers came out holding red-tasseled spears.
After Su Qi and the others entered the city gate, it slowly closed.
Leaving everyone outside the city gate confused.
What did this woman mean?
They were clearly looking for a way to survive, so how could they be looking for death?
