Ying Erhan laughed and said, "Didn't you ask me to see if there's anything they need help with over there? I helped them snatch a bag of old ginseng! But they said Xiaotian Village was surrounded by barbarians and they wanted reinforcements, so I came to find you!"
The surrounding villages and towns were also affected, and it was because of this that Xie Siheng did not keep chasing after those barbarians.
“Once the civilians at the city gates were rescued, they immediately led a team to various villages and towns to assess the extent of the damage.”
Ying Er asked sheepishly, "Can I lead the team in Oda Village?"
The other secret guards all looked at him.
If they hadn't grown up with Ying Er, they would have suspected that Ying Er had grown up smart and was deliberately showing off in front of his master in order to gain merit!
"Reason?" Xie Siheng looked at Ying Er.
"I...I was short of money some time ago, so I borrowed ten taels of silver from Miss Ji. Can you help me pay it back?"
Ying Er said a little embarrassedly.
The other secret guards were speechless. "Ying Er! The money our master gave us is more than enough. I still have several hundred taels! And you still don't have enough?!"
Xie Siheng's eyes were hard to read. "I asked you to find someone and gave you 1,000 taels of silver each for your travel expenses. But after only half a month, not only have you made no progress on your mission, but you don't even have enough money?"
Going out to borrow money is so shameful!
Ying Er said weakly, "I met an old beggar. He had difficulty walking and sores on his face. Everyone who saw him would avoid him. He wouldn't even eat leftovers. I felt sorry for him so I took him to see a doctor."
"In the end, he said the treatment would cost nine hundred taels, so I gave it to him."
"Who knows! That old guy and that doctor are both scammers! They teamed up to rip me off, then turned around and lost it all at the casino!"
"I broke their legs and they didn't get it back. The casino also refused to pay me back. I beat them all up and still had no money!"
"I can't just kill them all! I had no money so I had to sleep in trees and under bridges... I even had to fight with dogs for food... I just happened to meet Miss Ji, so I borrowed money from her."
Ying Yi looked at him in disbelief: "Why do you believe anything they say? How many times have I told you to use your brain when you go out?"
Ying Er said aggrievedly: "You haven't seen that old liar, he looks so pitiful, he..."
Xie Siheng rubbed his temple and interrupted him: "Okay, I get it."
As soon as Ying Er saw the expression on Xie Siheng's face, he cried out in his heart that something was wrong. He quickly knelt down and swore a military order: "I am willing to redeem myself from my crime and make meritorious contributions. This time when I go to Xiaotian Village, I will definitely bring back twenty barbarian heads!"
Xie Siheng stared at him: "Alright! If you can't finish it, bring me your head!"
"yes!"
Ying Er agreed solemnly.
There are still many things that need to be dealt with in the city, and Xie Siheng also needs to meet with the county magistrate here to understand the situation.
So he went down the city wall and planned to see the situation at the city gate.
As soon as he got off the tower, he saw a man in the crowd holding a spear, shouting at the Qingyi Army: "Who asked you to save me? You are so self-righteous! Aren't you soldiers? Why don't you have any courage? Kill them! Kill those barbarians!"
"You are a bunch of cowards! You are cowards! They have come to your doorstep and you just watch them leave!"
The rescued civilians nearby looked at him angrily: "If you want to die, go ahead and die! We still want to live! These adults were stopped in their tracks to save us. You don't know what's good for you! You deserve to die!"
"That's right, if you want to die, go ahead and die yourself, but you're dragging us down with you! We still want to live well, and sooner or later we'll chop off that barbarian's head with our own hands!"
"This person was saved in vain, he has no conscience..."
Hearing what the people around him said, the man holding the spear was filled with grief and anger. He turned the spear towards himself and stabbed himself fiercely.
Yingda stepped on the heads of the people around him and kicked the spear out of the man's hand, breaking his arms behind his back.
"Let me go! What are you doing? I don't want you to save me! Why not just commit suicide?"
When the right cavalry captain saw the person being rescued, he frowned and was too lazy to pay attention.
When he saw Xie Siheng coming, he quickly took a few steps forward to greet him.
"Captain! All the civilians at the city gate have been rescued. This... this person has been traumatized and is a little emotionally unstable."
The right cavalry captain pointed at the person being held captive by Ying Yi and explained with some embarrassment.
Seeing this, the people around automatically made way for him, and Xie Siheng walked towards there slowly.
He bent down to pick up the spear on the ground and walked up to the man: "You spineless bastard!"
Unexpectedly, he started cursing as soon as he opened his mouth, and everyone was stunned.
The captured people immediately flew into a rage: "You are spineless losers! We've surrounded them, and you just let them go! We're all dead! As long as we can kill those barbarians, others won't have to face the same situation we are in today next time!"
"What do you mean by saving us? That's all an excuse!"
Xie Siheng sneered: "Who are you guys? You are all citizens of Liangzhou! What right do you have to represent others? No one in this world deserves to die, and no one should sacrifice themselves."
"Your family was all killed by the barbarians. Instead of thinking about how to kill your enemies, you just yell at us because you are sure we won't kill you!"
"Accusing us won't bring you revenge, nor will it bring your loved ones back to life. But after accusing us, you couldn't stand the criticism and wanted to commit suicide on the spot."
"Admit it, you're a coward! You're a wimp! You're a loser who bullies the weak and fears the strong, and doesn't dare to seek revenge on the barbarians yourself!"
The people around couldn't help but clench their fists when they heard this: "Your Excellency is right!"
"Right! What makes you represent us? I'm going to save my worthless life to kill those people!"
"Humph! Coward!"
The man on the ground desperately shook his head and explained: "No! I'm not a coward! I'm not a coward! I want revenge! I want to kill those barbarians!"
Xie Siheng threw the spear in front of him coldly: "We saved your life. From now on, your life and death will not be decided by you. If you are a man, pick it up! Chop off the enemy's head with your own hands!"
