Chapter 224: The Tang Family Army has changed.
"This old man Gan is really messing around. We don't have much food to begin with, and we are still eating and drinking so much. I think we will starve to death if we don't make it to Tongmen Pass."
These words were only said among the Miao family guards at first, but later the Tang Family Army also heard them. Everyone inexplicably had a sense of urgency that food was not enough.
In addition, along the way, they saw many people doing whatever it took to get food, and some people were even ready to leave the team and leave quietly.
Just by going to the toilet, two people were missing from the team.
These two people were the ones who had previously joined Gan Fanren in the mountain stronghold. They were all people who had experienced hunger and knew how terrible it felt to be hungry.
They followed Gan Fanren at first because they saw that he was rich and thought that he would not treat them badly. However, they had been busy and exhausted during this period. Now they had no food, and they were worried about being hungry, so they ran away quietly.
Gan Tian felt depressed when she saw that there were two fewer people in the team.
Gan Huaibi snorted, "Let's go. Even if you stay for the time being, you will probably run away if you encounter problems in the future."
Gan Fanren nodded and said to the people in the team, "The place I am going to is an extremely cold place in the south. The journey is long and dangerous, and you will definitely suffer a lot. If anyone wants to leave, just disperse now."
After hearing Gan Fanren's words, several people stood up and left quietly.
Several of the Miao family's guards also left.
But none of the Tang family's soldiers left.
Gan Fanren felt relieved and said to Li Yunfeng, "Count the number of people, write down the names of those people just now, and never recruit them."
Li Yunfeng immediately went down to count the names.
Li Zhi said bitterly, "These fence-sitters don't even think about it. If it weren't for my brother saving them, they would have died long ago!"
"If they fall into my hands in the future, I will make them look bad!"
"It's just that we have different ideals and cannot work together. Why bother about it."
Gan Fanren comforted Li Zhi, but carefully put away the list, obviously holding a grudge.
Although those people left, their words did affect everyone.
In order to save food and grass, Li Yunfeng ordered everyone to speed up.
The intensity of this rapid march was nothing to the Tang family army, but it exhausted the Miao family guards. At night, they slept like dead pigs. They arrived
at Jianan Pass at a very fast speed.
When they arrived at Jianan Pass, these people had pale faces, cracked lips, and wrinkled clothes covered with mud. They looked more like refugees than refugees.
Gan Fanren took a look at these people and sighed, "Find an inn for them to rest first. A Yue and Yun Feng, you stay here. A Zhi and I will join you in a while."
Song Ci nodded and planned to go back to the barracks with Li Yunfeng and Gong Sun Yue to pick up his grandmother and mother. However, as soon as they walked near the barracks, they found a lot of blood on the ground.
Seeing this, Song Ci jumped off the carriage anxiously.
"There is too much blood!"
"I have lived in the military camp for several months. The area around Jianan Pass has always been very peaceful. There have never been any wild beasts or bandits."
Li Yunfeng's eyes also became silent.
"Do you remember what the shopkeeper said at Jinyang Pass?"
"This blood may not be from bandits."
Everyone's heart sank.
Especially Li Yunfeng, he was originally a member of the Tang Family Army. Although he left the team because of injuries, his friendship with the Tang Family Army has never diminished. Gongsun
Yue did not have any feelings for the Tang Family Army. He looked at the ground and felt that things were a bit troublesome.
If the Tang Family Army encountered trouble, they would naturally be rescued, but not now.
Now they have no territory and no team. It is simply a dream for them to take away the Tang family army.
With Song Ci, they quickly entered the barracks.
There were several people hanging at the entrance of the barracks.
Song Ci recognized them at a glance.
"It's the deputy general!"
Song Ci took out the token and wanted to enter the barracks. The brother guarding the camp whispered: "This token is no longer usable. Go to the next tent to exchange for a token."
Song Ci had to take the token to the next tent. Gongsun Yue and Li Yunfeng could not enter and could only wait outside.
The brother recognized Li Yunfeng: "Master Li, why are you back?"
Li Yunfeng didn't expect that he would be recognized so quickly.
He rubbed his nose and said, "I got the news that the general passed away. I was very worried about my brothers, so I came back to check on them."
The brother guarding the gate sighed and said, "There are many people like you who come back to visit these days, but you came at the wrong time. The new General Sun hates the general's old subordinates very much. He killed several brothers in front of the Tang family army. He didn't even let them wipe the blood at the door. Several deputy generals were also hung up to serve as a warning to others."
"You'd better leave quickly. If General Sun's people know your purpose, I'm afraid you will be in trouble."
At this time, someone came to inspect, and the brother guarding the gate immediately stood up and stopped talking.
The man was wearing armor with dry black stains on it, and it exuded a nauseating odor.
Seeing Li Yunfeng and others, he raised his chin and said arrogantly: "What are you doing!"
The brother guarding the gate immediately said: "You idiots, you thought our camp was the one managed by Tang Shi before, and you came here to ask for water."
"You insisted on me giving you a drink of water."
"We are under the charge of General Sun now. General Sun has strict discipline. How can we give them water casually?"
"Look, I'm chasing them away."
The man nodded with satisfaction: "Well done, we are now under the control of General Sun. Everything is based on Dayun. I have forgotten Tang Shi's womanly kindness."
"Yes, yes, yes." The brother bowed and sent the man away.
"Sir Li, I didn't let you in because it was for your own good. You also saw the attitude of that deputy general just now. If he knew that you were an old subordinate of General Tang, I'm afraid your fate would be the same as those hanging there."
Li Yunfeng looked at the soldiers hanging there.
They were in a very bad condition, with their heads down, as if they had fainted.
"What should we do with them?"
The brother shook his head: "I'm afraid they won't survive. General Sun has issued an order to expose them to the sun."
The deputy general is also a general!
But Sun Xing didn't take it seriously at all.
Li Yunfeng clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and he was obviously angry.
Gongsun Yue patted him on the shoulder gently.
"Don't be impulsive."
"We can discuss the matter of saving people together."
Li Yunfeng quickly calmed down and waited quietly for Song Ci to come out.
Not long after, Song Ci came out with his fists clenched in anger.
Song Ci has always been able to endure anger. When he was a yamen runner in the county government, he was often bullied, but he never got angry. Now his face turned red with anger.
Seeing this, the gatekeepers were no longer surprised.
