Chapter 122: Where to Escape
"Dad, let's run away," Zhao Dashan looked at the crowd around him warily and whispered to Zhao Lizheng.
The Zhao family suffered heavy casualties.
Zhao Li, Zhao Dajiang's family of three, and Zhao Dahai are all gone.
Old Mrs. Zhao hugged Zhao Xiaobao and looked blankly at the villagers crying around her. She was a little dazed for a moment.
The survivors behind him were also crying loudly.
Although their village worked together, they also killed dozens of Rong people.
But they also lost more than half of their people.
It was an unfortunate coincidence that Zhao Lizheng and his party left that day because some villagers really had no money and could not pay the city entrance fee.
We were from the same village, and everyone followed Zhao Lizheng all the way. We also wanted to settle down with him in Shu, so that at least we wouldn't be bullied by the locals.
Zhao Lizheng had no choice but to go and discuss with several wealthy families in the village.
Unexpectedly, just after the discussion, they received the imperial edict from the King of Shu.
Now, no one can leave.
Several wealthy families secretly cursed their bad luck, but they were powerless to carry out the King of Shu's orders.
In this battle, even though the Qianniu Village team was not arranged to charge at the front, they still suffered heavy losses.
In particular, many elderly people, women and men died while protecting their children.
Zhao Lizheng looked at the team behind him and felt extremely sad.
Although the King of Shu issued an edict of reward.
But those who received the rewards were either servants of wealthy families who had learned martial arts, or even bandits from the mountains. I heard that there were also two who were butchers and hunters from the mountains.
He saw it.
Among them, there were two bandits who, because they were one number short, smashed the head of a fallen civilian, changed his clothes into those of the Rong people, and sent them together to receive the reward.
The two men also threatened the people around them, saying that anyone who obstructed their promotion and wealth would be punished.
Anyway, we are on the battlefield now, and swords and guns are indiscriminate.
Although the Shu King's guards were maintaining order, they turned a blind eye and were unwilling to make a big deal out of it.
After all, the bandits are usually lawless and difficult to control, but now they can be of great use.
Since they were able to kill nine Rong people, they still had the opportunity to kill more Rong people.
"How to escape?" Zhao Lizheng looked hopeless.
"Are we all going to die here?" Zhao Dashan muttered with despair as he looked at Zhao Xiaobao who was frightened into unconsciousness and had a high fever.
yes!
These common people didn't even know where to escape to, so how could they receive the reward from the King of Shu? They were probably just going to become rewards for others' promotions.
Little Brother Zhang sat quietly aside to rest.
He cooperated with Zhao Dashan and his brothers and killed seven people. Although the boy was thin, he was extremely flexible and had a considerable advantage in fighting with the Rong people.
At this moment, his spirit was still there, but his clothes had already been stained with blood.
After hearing the conversation between Zhao Lizheng and his son, he did not respond.
He just stared at the direction of the palace soldiers and secretly noted the time when they changed shifts.
The Wu family on the other side of the team.
Wu Laosan hugged a part of his body and cried loudly, "Brother Ling, my poor son...ahhh...poor you, you were so talented...you were about to pass the exam to become a scholar, how could you be gone like this?"
Because Wu Laosan didn't want to use the silver he had hidden away to pay the city entrance fee for his whole family.
The two brothers, Wu Lao Da and Wu Lao Er, quickly sold their daughters to enter the city.
Wu Laosan watched his two brothers and their families enter the city gate. He waited for a whole day, making sure that they would not be discovered by them or the fleeing people around them, before he quietly took out the silver he had hidden from under his body.
When it was their family's turn to queue up to enter the city, the King of Shu's imperial edict suddenly arrived.
"From this moment on, refugees are not allowed to enter the city..."
When Wu Laosan heard the imperial edict, his expression changed immediately.
As he watched the last family in front walk away, the silver in his hand had been taken away by the guards beside him, but the guards refused to let them in.
Wu Laosan wanted to beat and scold him, but he was frightened by the guard's long sword and changed his expression.
Wu Lingyun behind him had a vicious look in his eyes, holding a long stick and hitting the open space beside him, "This group... When I become a general, I will definitely make them pay."
However.
Wu Lingyun is just a ten-year-old kid.
When the Rong army came riding on tall horses and wielding long swords, he was already stunned on the spot.
This...why do these enemies just come up and chop without saying a word?
This is not the tactic taught by Confucius. Shouldn't we debate first?
Seeing her son's soul had flown away, his mother stepped forward to block the knife, and the hot blood immediately splashed on his face.
“Ah…Ahhh.”
Wu Lingyun went crazy on the spot, not caring about the situation of the battle between the two armies, and ran around recklessly for his life.
Before Wu Laosan could even shout, he was trampled into two pieces by the Rong cavalry and died on the spot.
Now, it was Wu Laosan's turn to go crazy.
He used all his strength and killed two Rong people.
But his brother Ling will never come back.
He became a lonely man.
After the Rong people retreated.
Wu Laosan cried loudly while holding his son's body with red eyes...
Until a person who was receiving the reward reminded him, "Brother, if you lose your son, you can have another one. Hurry up and get the reward!"
Only then did Wu Laosan come to his senses.
"Yes, it doesn't matter if he has lost his son and wife. He has already killed two Rong people. If he kills a few more, he can become a general!"
Wu Laosan was no longer sad and walked towards the place where he would receive the reward.
…
The Shen family in Bear Village.
We are about to welcome new guests.
"Young Master, this is a remote place. Let's go to the inn in town to rest."
Xue Xuan and his group sat on an open cart and were pulled by Yu Liu.
Looking at the villages on both sides of the road, which were all low thatched houses, and then looking at the cart under her that was emitting a strange smell, Yun Gu covered her mouth, and the wrinkles on her forehead seemed to be able to pinch mosquitoes to death.
Xue Xuan, the young master of Tingyu Tower, has recovered a lot at this moment.
"Miss Yun, please don't be rude. We are here to seek refuge with someone, so we should follow the host's wishes."
Although the young man's face was pale, he had an extraordinary aura.
The cart was moving on the dirt road, causing pedestrians on the road to look at the cart.
"Young Master, I heard that the land of the Bear Village is extremely strange and infested with countless snakes and insects. We should be careful."
Yun Gu said cautiously.
"It's okay, they shouldn't be able to hurt me." After a pause, the boy looked at the things on the cart behind him and said, "I just don't know if they like these gifts."
"Young Master, if you ask me, they are just a bunch of dirt..."
"Ms. Yun," the young man snapped, "my life is worth it!"
"Yes, I have overstepped my bounds." Yun Gu curled her lips in dissatisfaction.
