266. Chapter 266 The Fat Officer



"It's not safe here. Everyone, pack up and hurry up. Let's go quickly, walk a distance forward, find a good place to hide, and then discuss how to save people."

At this time, Zhou Fuan's leading role as an official was revealed.

When he shouted this, the exiles stopped crying and arguing.

Half an hour later, the group walked about twenty miles and stopped at a dry river bank.

"This vast plain is endless. There is no good place to hide."

Lu Zan frowned.

The Su family, who had just joined the team in front, and Old Lady Su were looking at the dry riverbank.

"There are so many of us, and if we set up tents here, as long as there is a fire, others can see it from a long distance. It's not safe to live here."

"There's nowhere to hide on the plains, except in the villages."

When the village was mentioned, everyone's heart skipped a beat. The shadow just now was too big.

If it wasn't for the fact that it was getting late and they wanted to find a village to stay, they wouldn't have gone into the village to ask, and so much trouble wouldn't have happened.

"We don't dare to look for another village to live in, in case we run into bad people again."

"With bandits so rampant, is there anyone left in the nearby villages?"

Zhou Fuan interrupted everyone's discussion.

Qin Guanshan winked at Zhou Fuan, who immediately looked towards the Su and Wang families and said with a smile, "Grandmaster Wang, Madam Su, what do you two think we should do?"

We just had a fight with people from northern Xinjiang and the fat officer died.

Qin Guanshan saw it clearly.

The fat official was not killed by the Northern Frontier people, because the two of them followed the Seventh Lady to kill the enemy. The fat official did not dare to fight with the Northern Frontier people at all. As soon as he entered the field, he found an opportunity and lay down as a dead man.

Then when the war was about to end, Qin Guanshan saw with his own eyes that the Seventh Lady killed a Northern Frontier soldier with one sword. The Northern Frontier soldier fell beside the fat official, and the Seventh Lady directly gave him another sword, killing the fat official.

Outsiders would think the fat official had died long ago if they didn't care. The Seventh Lady was the finishing blow to kill the Northern Frontier soldiers, but Qin Guanshan actually saw it clearly.

When the Northern Frontier soldier fell beside the fat officer, the fat officer trembled and tried to get up.

At this time, Madam Seven cut his neck with a knife.

Before he died, the fat official suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Madam Seven in disbelief, and then swallowed his last breath unwillingly.

After returning, Qin Guanshan secretly told Zhou Fuan about this matter as soon as possible.

I was thankful more than once that I didn't follow the fat officer's example and pretend to be dead. In the end, I really pretended to be dead.

Without the fat officer, only Zhou Fuan and Qin Guanshan were left, and they became even more frightened.

He always acted according to the cues from the Su and Wang families.

What a joke! Madam Seven had the guts to kill the fat official like that, and she handled it without a single flaw.

If they don't obey, Madam Seven will kill them. How unfair!

"Rabbit, where is the nearest village?"

"If you still ask me, just go over this river bank and turn left, there is a small village."

"Rabbit, there are 20 miles around here. How many villages are there? Are there any people there?"

"There are two villages within a radius of ten miles, and three villages within a radius of twenty miles. Not to mention people, there is not even a dog. There are only rats."

After communicating with the rabbit, Sumibao leaned over to his grandmother's ear and whispered the situation.

"Let's look for a village nearby and stay in one. It's late at night and it's not far from the forest. If there are stray dogs, it will be troublesome for us to live in the open air."

Wang Changling said with a pale face.

During this period, his father had not shown up in front of everyone. He had been sitting on his family's cart, fearing that his father would be exposed to the sun. Wang Changling put a piece of cloth on the cart to block some of the sunlight and also block people's sight.

The grandmother, father, younger sister and the crown prince were sitting on the cart.

Whenever there was anything to do, he would ask his father for permission.

Hearing Zhou Fuan's question, Wang Changling turned his head and looked at his father out of habit. He saw that his father was standing next to the cart, looking at his younger brother who was sleeping in the cart.

Bai Suzi came over to check on his brother and applied some hemostatic medicine.

My younger brother was injured, and the crown prince was taken away by Long Er and has not returned yet. Wang Changling knew that his father was in no mood to take care of these trivial matters at this time.

"There are two thatched huts on the riverbank. There should be a village nearby. So many of us came here, but we didn't hear any movement. If there is a village nearby, it must be empty. Let's look for it and stay in the village first. Only when we are safe can we send people out to rescue people."

"Mrs. Su is right."

Zhou Fuan admired Madam Su very much. She was worthy of being an old lady who had followed the late emperor to conquer the world. She was so old, and had traveled all the way, sleeping in the open air, but she was healthy and had no illness.

When encountering problems, you can also offer suggestions.

No wonder people often say that an old person in the family is like a treasure.

This old lady Su is a treasure in their exile team.

Zhou Fuan couldn't help but glance at Taifu Wang in front of the cart, a powerful official in the court and a great imperial tutor.

Since being exiled, he has rarely spoken, as if he does not exist.

Everyone agreed with this opinion.

Soon, they found a small village not far from the other side of the river bank, and everyone entered the village and settled down. Zhou Fuan also asked Bai Suzi to treat the wounded.

He and Qin Guanshan checked the personnel situation.

Finally, a group of them gathered in the thatched hut of the village school to discuss countermeasures.

"All the soldiers from the Northern Frontier were killed, about 600 of them."

As soon as Lu Zan finished speaking, everyone was shocked.

Even Sumibao was surprised.

She only saw the fighting on the bridgehead when the soldiers from the Northern Frontier swarmed out of the village like locusts. She couldn't see clearly in the twilight, but she felt that there were quite a lot of them.

But they didn't expect that there would be more than 600 people. No wonder Wu Hai and his men had to guard so hard that they had no time to help them kill the bandits.

There are only a few of them, and this is basically one against a hundred.

"Six hundred and thirteen people."

Qian Tong, who is usually quiet, suddenly said something.

Sumibao couldn't help but look at him.

The person the Queen Mother sent to protect my eldest brother was a eunuch. He was amazing. With so many people fighting, he could actually count the number of people.

"We were in such a hurry that we forgot one important thing."

Yue Feng suddenly spoke up.

"So many Northern Frontier soldiers are all huddled together in that small village. There must be a lot of food and money stored in the village. Maybe we can find their horses in the village? Even if we can't bring war horses, they should have carriages and ordinary horses, right?"

Su Mibao glared at Yue Feng and said, "You really are my uncle's man. You have a natural business mind."

The ghost doctor couldn't help but glance at Su Mibao.

Hehe, my master is still amazing. Just now, my master asked me to take her to that village and collect all the things in the village. Hehe, my master is amazing, the most amazing fairy in the world.

"Don't say those useless things. If you can think of these, do you think the bandits don't know? They couldn't have suddenly come there tonight just because of us. The bandits must have come for the Northern Frontier soldiers. They always send spies to get information. At this time, seeing that the Northern Frontier soldiers were dead, they should have sent people to take away the things in the village long ago."

Everyone had to admit that what the ghost doctor said made a lot of sense.

The issue of money and food for the Northern Frontier soldiers in the village was simply resolved and no one mentioned it again.

"We suffered heavy losses, especially among the men. Now there are only 66 of us left. Eight were injured. Eighteen women were kidnapped. We have no money or belongings left."

Zhou Fuan summed up the situation in a few words.

"We still have to go into the mountains to find the bandit's lair and rescue people. There's also Su Zhenbei, who was taken away by the people from Northern Xinjiang. We have to find a way to rescue him as well."

When Zhou Fuan talked about finding a way to save them, he lacked the confidence.
