Chapter 23 Who Keeps Us Safe?



Who is so shameless.

As soon as he shouted this, before he finished speaking, there was a loud snap.

The old man sitting on the shingle had a flushed face and knocked his cane on the ground.

"Who are you scolding?" he shouted, glaring at the bearded man.

Several men looked at the old man with complicated expressions.

Are you really protecting the Qingshan Army and the wife of the Crown Prince of Chengguo in this way?

"The Crown Prince's wife not only rescued refugees along the way, but also went to Bazhou and vowed to bring back all the people of the Great Zhou. She, a woman, risked her life there. You, you men, who are you scolding?" the old man shouted.

This old man can be easily pushed down with one finger. He is the easiest to be bullied among the refugees. He is the kind of person who dares not say a word even when being bullied and just wants to stay alive.

He was so bold as to get angry over a word from a passerby that had nothing to do with him, and looked like he was ready to fight the person to the death.

The men looked strange. The bearded man who had spoken earlier looked at the old man's raised cane and could have swept it away, but he stepped back.

"I didn't curse anyone." He said angrily, "I cursed those grown men for letting a woman like you lead troops in battle."

He said this and made another "Pooh" sound.

"How shameless."

So that's it. The old man put away his anger and nodded happily.

"Yes, yes." He said, and shook his head, "But you can't say that, little brother. They are still brave men. The Shun'an Army in Hejian followed to Bazhou. I heard that they have rescued tens of thousands of people."

The bearded man laughed dryly.

This bloodiness is probably fueled by the title of the Crown Prince's wife, right?

But there's no point in arguing with these stupid people.

"Aren't there Jin soldiers in Bazhou?" a man couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, the Crown Prince's wife is not afraid." The old man said excitedly, "The Crown Prince's wife is young and has great talent and is wise and brave..."

This time he was interrupted by the bearded man before he could finish his words.

"Alright, alright." He seemed to be unable to bear it and waved his hands, calling out to the men, "Go, go, go."

After saying this, he walked quickly forward, and several men hurriedly followed.

"I haven't finished yet." The old man looked at the men who were leaving with some regret and said, "You are young and strong, go to Hejian. It is a hero's duty to help kill the enemy. Don't be worse than a woman."

The men didn't even turn their heads, but just walked faster.

“Why do people talk so much these days?”

After entering the county town, they finally found a restaurant that was still open and sat down. The bearded man stroked his beard in annoyance.

Perhaps because he had been rushing for a long time, his beard was a little loose and half of it fell off, revealing Zhu Zan's clean and handsome face.

The three men opposite him coughed lightly and stood over to block him behind them, looking around vigilantly.

After all, it is inland of western Hebei. Although the situation is tense, there are no Jin soldiers passing through, so the houses in the city are neat and tidy, but it is no longer as prosperous and bustling as before. Most of the shops are closed, and the pedestrians on the street are hurried and look uneasy.

"No need to look, the grandchildren of the Jinyiwei didn't follow us." Zhu Zan said, picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip, and pulled off his dry beard and threw it aside.

The three men also sat down.

"I don't know who it is." One of them couldn't help but say, looking at Zhu Zan's expression.

"The world is really going downhill," Zhu Zan said angrily, "I, a clean person, have been tarnished like this."

The other man coughed.

"But it is obvious that this person wants to borrow your power, Prince," he said.

"This is the trouble with being too good." Zhu Zan said with a frown.

In fact, it is not necessarily a matter of people, but rather a matter of identity.

The three men touched their noses.

"Maybe it was arranged by Duke Cheng." They whispered.

As they were talking, two men came back quickly, looking somewhat excited.

"Brother, I found out clearly." They said anxiously, "It's the lady."

Zhu Zan now felt a little nervous when he heard the word "Madam".

"What Madam?" he interrupted with a frown.

"It's not your wife." A man explained hurriedly, "It's Chengguo's wife."

Zhu Zan's expression suddenly became overjoyed.

"My mother?" he said, and then patted the table again, "My mother is in Hejian?"

"What's going on?" the other men asked hurriedly.

The man quickly told everyone the news he had heard, and they looked surprised and impressed.

"It seems that the lady gave up Daming Prefecture immediately after receiving the news and went directly to Hejian." A man said with some admiration.

A hint of pride appeared on Zhu Zan's face.

"That's right, that's my mother, I knew she was fine." He said with a relaxed look.

But everyone else could see that the hidden worry and anxiety in Zhu Zan's eyes did not completely disappear until this moment.

"I just don't know where the Madam hired this Qingshan Army from." A man said, "It is said that a few dozen people can scare the gold thieves away."

"Is this true?" Zhu Zan raised his eyebrows while touching his smooth chin. "It sounds like you are almost as good as me."

Inside a dilapidated castle, flags were flying. The most eye-catching one was a red flag with the three characters "Qingshan Army" fluttering on it.

At this time, a person under the flagpole was holding a bamboo tube-like object and looking at the plain.

Li Guorui and others stood beside him with a bit of envy.

"Brother Xia, how is it? How is it?" they asked anxiously.

Xia Yong put down the bamboo tube.

"Indeed, there is a group of gold thieves heading north," he said, handing over the bamboo tube.

Several men immediately scrambled for it, but Li Guorui was the first to get it.

The men could only look on with envy as Li Guorui carefully and excitedly raised the bamboo tube in front of him.

"Sure enough, there are quite a lot of people." He nodded and said, "It seems that they have looted at least a thousand people."

Xia Yong nodded.

"What? Do you want to do it?" he asked.

Li Guorui held the bamboo tube tightly in his hand.

"What the hell." He said without hesitation, "There are more than a thousand people here. We can't let the gold thieves get away with it."

The other men nodded as well.

“Fuck…”

"Let's go, let's go."

Xia Yong nodded, took out a map from his sleeve and unfolded it.

Seeing Yutu, Li Guorui and others came over again, with a bit of excitement and envy.

This is the map of Bazhou. Different from the map they have, this map clearly marks out even the small paths in every village.

"This group of gold thieves is heading this way." Xia Yong pointed and said, "We should encircle them from here and block them before tomorrow morning and wait for them to be captured."

Li Guorui and others nodded repeatedly, and after some discussion, they hurried down the fort to gather soldiers.

"Inform Miss Jun." Xia Yong said to the people around him. "We need to replenish colored fireworks."

Watching the fireworks explode into a flower in the air, Lei Zhonglian in the wilderness withdrew his gaze.

"We've encountered a gold thief." He said, "Go tell Miss Jun that we need to speed up."

As he spoke, he turned around and saw that the person behind him was motionless.

The man was wearing armor, had a blank expression, and even had a hint of sneer in his face.

"Are you going to die again?" Jin Shiba said coldly.
