Gu Yan went to find the rear general, but Cheng Wan did not go with him.

Gu Yan understood the situation completely. As for General Xiang Hou's order to release the prisoners of war, Gu Yan alone was enough.

The group of prisoners leaving the barracks suddenly stopped, but the prisoners remained quiet.

To be precise, it is lifeless.

While Cheng Wan was waiting for Gu Yan to come back, she tried hard to recall her past memories. She wondered whether she had seen Lin Gou Wa when she was stupid.

But those memories were too messy and trivial, and Cheng Wan really couldn't remember them.

Lin Gou Wa, on the other hand, seemed to have realized that the noble person in front of him was not here to cause trouble for him, but seemed to be someone who knew his aunt.

Lin Gou Wa secretly observed Cheng Wan and couldn't understand how his extremely poor aunt could know such a person.

Where did you meet?

What is the relationship between this person and my aunt?

Are they going to get him out of the POW group?

Is it really possible?

Also, where is my aunt now? Is she still alive?

If he is alive, that would be great, he would have family again.

Many thoughts flashed through Lin Gou Wa's mind, and a glimmer of light appeared in his lifeless eyes.

"Gou Wa, do you know this noble man?"

The prisoner behind Lin Gou Wa lightly touched Lin Gou Wa's heel with his toes and said in a very low voice.

Lin Gou Wa leaned back slightly and shook his head: "I don't know him."

"I think that noble man is here to rescue you. You better be smart and kneel down when you should. If you are rescued, your ancestors will be in big trouble!"

The man came close to Lin Gou Wa and looked even more excited than Lin Gou Wa himself, but he was always careful to keep his voice as low as possible.

Except for Lin Gou Wa and Cheng Wan who had a cheat, no one could hear what he said.

Lin Gou Wa swallowed, a little bit unbelieving, but couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

"Brother Changtong, if I can really be rescued, I will go home to see my mother and her family first, and then I will definitely visit you in Laixiang County often and bring you food.

By the way, I have to ask this noble lady if she knows where my aunt is and whether she is dead or alive."

"Why are you looking at me? Just take care of yourself!

Besides, this place is still far away from Qingyuan County, and we don’t know which direction King Rui’s army will attack next.

If you go home in this situation, you might die on the way. Even if you make it home alive, your mother and the others will…

Listen to me, Gou Wa, you have to be thick-skinned and smarter. If that noble person can really rescue you, you have to rely on her.

Ask her to find you a job, or ask her to give you some money to live on, and when the situation in Qingyuan County is not so chaotic, go back to find your mother and the others, remember?"

Cheng Wan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the prisoner of war who was helping Lin Gou Wa to come up with ideas.

The man felt Cheng Wan's gaze and quickly turned sideways nervously. After Cheng Wan looked away, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to "teach" Lin Gou Wa in a whisper:

"This noble lady is so beautiful, and she can even appear in the military camp. She must be a daughter of some rich family. Such daughters who have never suffered are easily soft-hearted. If you kneel down and cry and beg her, she will definitely be willing to help you again."

Lin Gou Wa quickly glanced at Cheng Wan and frowned in confusion.

He felt that what Brother Datong said was very right, but for some reason, he inexplicably felt that this noble man was not as simple as Brother Datong said.

The two men were talking in a very low voice. The soldiers who saw this wanted to stop them, but were stopped by their squad leader with a look.

The sergeant understood clearly that the fifth-to-last prisoner would most likely be rescued. Since he was related to a nobleman, why would he offend him over such a small matter?

Anyway, what these two people were saying didn't affect anyone else.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact, Gu Yan had just left for less than a quarter of an hour.

Cheng Wan thought that Gu Yan would come back with the general's order to release the prisoners, but who knew that the general would come in person.

"General."

The general waved his hand and asked everyone to stop politely.

Gu Yan winked at Cheng Wan, and Cheng Wan hurriedly walked up to the rear general and reported truthfully in a low voice: "General, there is a prisoner of war named Lin Gou Wa who is the nephew of my grandmother's mother's family, and is also my cousin. I wonder if you can show some mercy and let me take him away."

"Sure?"

"determine."

"Then you can take it away."

"what?"

Cheng Wan was dumbfounded. So simple?

Then why did the general come here in person?

The general looked at Cheng Wan's expression and said with a smile: "The damned prisoners of war would not be alive until now, let alone be sent to do hard labor, understand?"

Cheng Wan blinked, raised the corners of his mouth, and saluted to General Hou seriously: "I understand, but why did you come here in person...?"

"On the way."

The general glanced at Cheng Wan, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear.

He didn't come here just for such a small matter.

Cheng Wan pursed his lips, observing the general's expression, and asked, "Can this subordinate take one more person away?"

General Hou looked at Cheng Wan in surprise: "Why, you have a cousin who is a prisoner of war?"

"That's not the case." Cheng Wan pinched his nose and whispered, "He is my cousin's good brother. Seeing how close they are, I can't bear to separate them."

The general stared at Cheng Wan without saying anything.

Cheng Wan smiled awkwardly: "I will just take my cousin away."

"General."

Gu Yan took two steps closer and stood behind Cheng Wan: "Why don't you be a good person and send him off to the west? He's just a prisoner of war. Let Lord Cheng take him away, and Laixiang County Government can save food for another prisoner of war."

The general looked at Gu Yan, then at Cheng Wan, and nodded with his mouth open, "I see. I thought Captain Gu never meddles in other people's business and is quiet. How come he came to me today to help Master Cheng and smiled at me?"

"General..."

Cheng Wan was a little unsure of what the general meant.

The general hit Gu Yan's chest lightly with his fist, laughed heartily, and said in a generous voice: "Then I will be a good man to the end, and send the Buddha to the west. Take it away!"

"Thank you, General!"

Cheng Wan and Gu Yan thanked him at the same time.

"Leave those two to Lord Cheng, and send the others wherever they should be sent."

After the general spoke personally, the sergeant did not dare to delay and quickly ordered his soldiers to "pull" Lin Gou Wa and Chen Changtong out of the prisoner team, and then escort the other prisoners away.

Later, the general also went to work.

Lin Gou Wa and Chen Chang Tong stood there stupidly, looking at each other, unable to believe that they had been rescued just like that.

Especially Chen Changtong.

Lin Gou Wa was rescued, and the two were mentally prepared.

But Chen Changtong's rescue was really beyond the expectations of both of them.

"Come on, you need to clean yourself up a bit."

Lin Gou Wa was brought back to his senses by Cheng Wan's voice. Then his eyes lit up and he knelt down in front of Cheng Wan.

Chen Changtong tried to pull it back but failed.

Chen Changtong quickly glanced at Cheng Wan's face, bent down and pulled Lin Gou Wa: "Hurry up!"

The situation has changed, let's wait and see, what a stubborn person!
