Chapter 280 Good guy or bad guy?
"It's no use telling them this!" Xie Xun had already drawn his sword as he spoke. "All they care about right now is survival."
There was a flash of disbelief in Li Yunchao's eyes, but considering everything that had happened before, he did not doubt Xie Xun's words.
Compared to Xie Xun's shrinking feelings, he was indeed protected too well. Even when he was in exile, he never acted alone.
"Whoever dares to take action, don't blame me." Xie Xun said loudly to those who coveted these carts of medicinal materials.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. There are only a few of them, and they are all children. If we rob them, we can exchange them for money to survive. The court is incompetent, and we can't survive. We can only find a way out on our own."
"General Gu will definitely win the battle." Li Yunchao shouted, hoping to regain the people's sanity.
However, someone has already taken action.
Xie Xun's brows were stern, and he chopped off the man's hand. "The court is not good, but that's no excuse for you to do evil. You bully the weak, and that's wrong."
"If the imperial court wasn't incompetent, how could we be forced to flee our homes..."
"Brother Yong, stop talking nonsense with him, just grab the things and run away."
Several men exchanged glances and were about to take action, but Xie Xun's sword strike just now still frightened them.
"This kid has some tricks up his sleeve, be careful!"
"I have given you a chance. You can complain and curse, but you can't steal our things. If we send these things to the military camp, we still have a chance of victory." Gu Yuru shouted.
"This woman is great, let's take her away and give birth to some fat babies."
"Shut up!" Li Yunchao shouted and also took a stance.
"You little bastard, leave your things and people behind, and I'll spare you."
Xie Xun and Li Yunchao looked at each other, and made a decision while exchanging glances.
"It's better to give it to us than to those useless officers and soldiers. They will die anyway."
"No, my grandfather will not die." Li Yunchao blurted out. He would not allow the person he had admired since childhood to be slandered by these people.
"Your grandpa... stop, are you a relative of that official?"
Li Mumu secretly cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" Given these people's resentment towards the imperial court and the soldiers, they would probably become even more enraged after knowing their identities.
The facts were just as he thought.
"The dog officer came to deal with us. The enemy army was approaching, and he brought so few people. He was sick as soon as he arrived. It's obvious that he doesn't want to win this battle. It's obvious that he doesn't want to care about our lives. It turns out that you are their family, so they are even more determined to rob you."
The man became more and more excited as he spoke, "He must have made a lot of money on a daily basis. Look at how fair and tender these girls are."
Li Yunchao also knew that he had said the wrong thing. "That's not the case. My grandfather was also ordered to come in a time of crisis. It's not up to him to decide how many people to bring."
"We don't want to hear it. If we die, his family won't be able to live either."
As they spoke, these people were about to take action, but there was a hint of murderous intent in their eyes.
Xie Xun protected Li Mumu, "Acai and I can hold on for a while. You guys take the herbs and go ahead. We should be able to find General Gu soon."
"No, we have to go together." Li Yunchao said.
Xie Xun was stunned for a moment, "The overall situation is more important."
Li Yunchao paused, "But you can't be in any trouble."
Xie Xun raised the corner of his lips and patted his shoulder. Some words need no further explanation. "Protect Mumu."
"and you……"
Li Mumu shook her head. They were just a group of common people, not a matter of life and death. "Uncle, we are indeed General Gu's family."
"Look, this girl admitted it, that's good. This incompetent official killed my family, and I want his family to be buried with him."
Li Mumu shook his head, "Uncle, you are wrong."
"I was wrong?"
"Yes, you are obviously a smart man. Think about it, if we were really going to lose this battle, would my grandfather still ask us to come?"
The man looked at Li Mumu in surprise.
Li Mumu continued to speak amid everyone's surprise, "If there really was danger, how could my grandfather bear to let us die? My mother is his most beloved daughter, and I am his most beloved granddaughter."
"this……"
"Brother, that makes sense. If there was any danger, wouldn't he have asked his family to stay away?"
The leader, Brother Yong, frowned. "Don't say anything, little girl. You said you could win? Who told you that?"
"My grandpa said so!" Li Mumu said with a smile, "General Gu, just wait for me to deliver the things, and the battle will be won."
"You're not lying?"
"Twilight doesn't lie."
Brother Yong paused and continued, "How can we defeat the enemy with fewer troops? Besides, many people in the army are sick. My father is a doctor, but he died when he treated the people there."
Li Mumu patted his chest and said, "I can treat illnesses, Uncle. Your father should have told you that you have goiter, right? You have all the symptoms of phlegm stagnation, phlegm and blood stasis, and excessive liver fire, right?"
"You... you really know?"
Li Mumu nodded. Luckily, she met someone who knew the business. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to solve the problem. "What do you think?"
"You can tell what's wrong with me at first glance. You're an expert, but can you really solve the problems in the barracks?"
"Why else would I be here?" Li Mumu patted the herbs in the sacks. "We have both the people and the herbs. Your father probably told you there aren't many herbs in the barracks, right?"
"good."
"Now we have it all, Uncle. We can keep our home." Li Mumu's voice was resounding. "There's no need to run."
"How can I trust you? You're still a child."
Li Mumu said, "If we lose, I will die too. Besides, if the army succeeds in attacking the city, where can you run to?"
The man fell into deep thought.
"My sister is really good at medicine."
Li Mumu nodded, "Uncle, how about you come with us to take a look?"
The man looked at the people behind him, thought for a moment, and then said, "Alright, you go first. If you don't hear from me, don't look back. If you win, you can come back."
"We won't leave either. If we can really win, why would we leave? If we don't have enough people, we'll go too."
Li Mumu didn't expect that human nature was so complicated. He bullied women and children the previous moment, but now he turned into a tough man to defend his country.
Perhaps people cannot be simply described in black and white, good and bad.
Not everyone turned back, only Brother Yong followed with seven or eight men.
"Sister, you are really awesome! If it weren't for you, we would have had to fight."
Li Mumu smiled and said, "Big brother is amazing. You were so brave just now."
"Stop trying to trick me." Li Yunchao said a little embarrassedly.
"Look, there is a group of soldiers in front." Brother Yong's men shouted loudly.
"You have to make it clear to them that we didn't do anything bad."
Li Mumu nodded, "Uncle, you are good people. I will tell grandpa."
