He immediately stopped what he was doing and saw Long Yuan point to the middle part.
Su Muyao picked up her binoculars and saw that there were actually thirty or forty civilians being held captive by the army.
Most of these people were the elderly, the weak, women and children.
The people were seen with their hands tied behind their backs, one after another in a long string.
The Japanese soldiers in front and behind would occasionally lash the civilians with their whips.
They were still muttering something as they were beaten and staggered forward.
Based on this, they must be the villagers from the nearby small villages who didn't have time to escape.
Su Muyao quickly waved her hand and put the grenade she had already taken out back into her spatial storage.
If bombs were actually dropped, these civilians would certainly be injured accidentally.
Now, in this desolate wilderness, if I were to shoot at these Japanese soldiers, the civilians would have nowhere to hide and would ultimately meet their demise.
This put Su Muyao in a real dilemma.
Given the current situation, we can only retreat back into the city and make further plans.
Su Muyao led Long Yuan a long way before releasing the plane and taking Long Yuan back.
Upon returning, he summoned all the generals to begin a meeting.
The lieutenant spoke first: "It seems that these Japanese soldiers are deliberately capturing these innocent civilians to coerce us into submission."
"Hmph! A mere few dozen old people, women and children think they can force us to submit."
That's truly wishful thinking! We absolutely cannot be so sentimental!
The one who spoke was a commander under Lieutenant General Li.
Su Muyao only glanced at him.
It was obvious that the person who spoke was going to abandon these dozens of civilians.
The city's garrison commander, Wu Tie, strongly disagreed, saying, "Although they are just the elderly, weak, women, and children, they are still the people of our great dynasty. How can soldiers who are protecting our country abandon the people so easily?"
"So, according to you, we're not going to open the city gates for the sake of just a few dozen ordinary people?"
We must abandon the millions of people living in this city.
Lieutenant Li then looked at Long Yuan, wanting to seek the Crown Prince's opinion.
In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Su Muyao.
"They are all citizens of our great dynasty, how can we not save them? But how can we help them escape?"
After Long Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Su Muyao.
Su Muyao lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked up again and said, "I do have a way to save them, but I still need you to arrange some people to help."
The others, however, showed expressions of delight.
"At midnight today, arrange for a few people to come with me to carry out the rescue."
Long Yuan, however, said with a look of disapproval, "I will personally lead a group to go with you."
Lieutenant General Li said nervously, "Your Highness, no, I will go with the young princess. You can stay in the army."
Long Yuan shook his head: "This matter is settled, no need for further discussion."
Soon it was midnight.
Long Yuan then brought over several secret guards, who were Jiang Xiao's secret guards in the army.
Jiang Xiao was the son of a high-ranking official in the court, but his father left him here to start as an ordinary soldier.
Despite his seemingly ruthless exterior, he secretly dispatched over a dozen bodyguards to protect him.
Several generals in the army knew this, but Jiang Xiao was unaware that he had always believed his father disregarded his safety and carelessly allowed him to fight in the flames of war.
The group arrived at an open space outside the city, where Su Muyao took out an off-road vehicle from her spatial storage.
Even if you squeeze into an SUV, you can still find a seat.
Long Yuan was already used to it, but the guards and two soldiers were all startled when a huge, strange thing appeared out of nowhere in front of them.
Su Muyao got into the car first, started the SUV, opened the door, and called for the others to get in quickly.
Long Yuan then sat down inside.
Upon seeing this, everyone was stunned and stood frozen in place!
"This...this...this...it was actually the young princess who appeared out of thin air!"
As expected, the rumors were true. Originally, it was just thought that the young princess had that divine weapon.
It seems now that things can actually be conjured out of thin air.
Although they didn't know what the thing in front of them was, it didn't diminish their astonishment.
After the group got into the car, they heard it start and make a humming sound, which startled them and made them shudder.
Before anyone could react, the huge thing in front of them was even emitting its own light.
Soon, Su Muyao stepped on the gas and sped off.
The guards in the back row clung to each other tightly.
Seeing their nervous expressions, Su Muyao shook her head helplessly.
"This is called an off-road vehicle, and it works on the same principle as a regular horse-drawn carriage..."
They listened to the young princess's explanation, but still looked completely bewildered.
"Sit still."
After saying this, Su Muyao stepped on the gas.
After the guards got used to it, they kept complaining to themselves.
What is like a horse-drawn carriage? Apart from having wheels, where is there any trace of a horse-drawn carriage?
There are no animals pulling this cart!
It's like a ghost; how does it move without any animals pulling it?
The guards, supporting themselves on the chairs, paid no heed to their own thoughts.
It wasn't long before I realized that the seat was surprisingly soft.
Once everyone had adjusted, they looked out the window and saw the scenery rushing past.
"What kind of car is this? It's going way too fast."
One of the guards stammered out these words.
Just now, the young princess was saying that it works on the same principle as a horse-drawn carriage.
This is nothing compared to a horse-drawn carriage!
Because it was a muddy road, and Su Muyao was driving extremely fast.
The car was incredibly bumpy.
The people in the back seat felt their stomachs churning, but they all held back from vomiting.
One of the guards had an even more bizarre thought: if he really vomited it out, wouldn't the wind blow it all over his face?
As soon as Su Muyao got into the car, she opened one of the back windows and the passenger window.
Su Muyao felt that there should always be two windows open in a crowded car, otherwise there was always an indescribable smell.
More than half an hour later, we finally arrived at the place where the Japanese soldiers were temporarily stationed.
Su Muyao took out two silenced guns halfway there, handing one to Long Yuan and keeping the other for herself.
The reason they weren't given to these bodyguards was because they had never been in contact with them before.
They could actually get there faster with a knife than with a gun.
Taking advantage of the late hour and not fearing being discovered by the soldiers, we parked the car a short distance away.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Su Muyao got out and opened the back door.
As soon as the car door was opened, the bodyguards in the back seat rushed out.
As soon as they got out of the car, they couldn't help but lean against the tree trunk and vomit violently.
Su Muyao scratched her head, thinking to herself that these people were no match for Long Yuan's vomiting.
Just as he turned around, he saw Long Yuan, who was also leaning against a tree, vomiting so violently that he was practically fainting.
After vomiting most of it, the group collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.
The guards decided that they should never let them ride in that kind of car again.
This is more painful than making them do any number of tasks.
