Cheng Wan was horrified.

Although she had a very bad premonition from the moment she saw Deng Xiong.

But she didn't expect that the truth would be so tragic.

Cheng Wan suddenly grabbed Deng Xiong's arm and said anxiously: "Do you know how the county magistrate's family is doing?"

Deng Xiong was startled by Cheng Wan and burped uncontrollably, "The bad guys who came to the village said that the county magistrate...the county magistrate was killed."

Cheng Wan's pupils dilated instantly and her body trembled a little, "So, what about the magistrate's family? Have you heard how the magistrate's daughter is doing?"

"Something seems to have happened to the county magistrate's wife. As for the county magistrate's daughter, it seems that the magistrate sent her away... in advance."

Deng Xiong wiped his nose with the dirty cloth in his hand, and continued: "When I ran away, in order to... to hide from two bad guys, I hid between a stack of wheat and... and the corner. I heard the two bad guys cursing. , said... that the county magistrate was not stupid, and knew how to send the children away early, but... was just too rigid, did not... obey, and was... killed by the people around him. "

Cheng Wan's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and Deng Xiong's arm was released as if the strength had been relieved.

"Good to see you off, good to see you off."

"Did you hear them say where the magistrate's children were sent?"

Deng Xiong shook his head, "I... I was scared. After they passed that area, I... ran away quickly."

Deng Xiong looked a little uneasy and blamed himself, worried that he had missed some important news.

Cheng Wan quickly patted Deng Xiong's arm and comforted her gently: "I want to thank you. You have told me a lot. Sit down and rest."

"Nai, hurry up and get some pancakes for Deng Xiong, and then pour a bowl of water for him to fill his stomach."

Old Mrs. Lin was so shocked by the news that Deng Xiong brought her that she hadn't recovered yet. Cheng Wan called twice more before Old Mrs. Lin went to get the pancakes in a daze.

Wang looked at Cheng Wan worriedly, wondering why her daughter cared so much about the daughter of the magistrate's family.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed across Wang's mind.

Wang's eyes widened involuntarily, and she was filled with surprise and uncertainty: "The county magistrate's daughter, can't she be the friend my daughter made..."

Wang thought back to her daughter's panicked look just now, and became more and more sure of her guess.

After all, she had never seen her daughter look like that.

At this time, Mrs. Wang had no intention of being shocked that her daughter's friend was actually the daughter of the county magistrate.

She thought that thanks to that young lady, her family had received the news in advance, and now the whole family could stand here neatly.

There were also the family's horse-drawn carriage and mule-cart, as well as the supplies in the two cars.

Mrs. Wang clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly in her heart, hoping that the young lady would go smoothly and be safe.

Xiao Lin noticed Wang's movements and thought that Wang was praying for the people in her hometown.

She quickly clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and muttered in her heart: "Gods and gods from all walks of life, as well as Bodhisattvas from all walks of life, please bless me. Please keep my parents and sisters safe and sound. I beg you..."

At this time, the people in the team, the outer circle and those far away did not know what was going on. They could only listen carefully to what was going on here with uneasy faces.

The man who led Deng Xiong to find Cheng Wan had dull eyes and murmured unconsciously: "Why is this happening? It can't be like this, it can't be..."

Yes, why is it like this?

Many of them are still planning to go home.

Village Chief Jia didn't know when he came over. He seemed like he couldn't stand the stimulation anymore and was about to faint as soon as he closed his eyes.

Cheng Wan quickly supported Village Chief Jia with quick eyes and hands, and hurriedly helped him sit aside.

Don't faint, there is no doctor here.

Village Chief Jia's second son glanced at Cheng Wan gratefully and carefully helped his father's back.

Village Chief Jia took a few deep breaths, and his eye circles turned red unconsciously.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start.

Asked whether Jiajia Village had escaped this disaster?

Not to mention whether Deng Xiong knew it or not, he could guess that the possibility of escaping this disaster was almost zero.

After all, Jiajia Village is not a special place. Those people have all gone to Taohua Village, and there is no reason to let other villages go.

How is Qingyuan County doing now?

Just listening to Deng Xiong talk about the tragic situation in his village, one can guess what kind of hell the county is.

Moreover, Deng Xiong escaped from the village, so he probably doesn't know the situation in other places.

……

In fact, what Village Chief Jia wants to ask most is King An: "Didn't you recruit so many soldiers? Aren't you so aggressive that you want to rebel and seize the throne? Why are you so useless?!"

Wang An, who was severely complained by Village Chief Jia, was furious at this time.

In just a few days, four cities were lost in a row.

An Wang felt as if his face was being stepped on.

"They are all a bunch of useless trash! Send an order to the general guarding Guocheng to defend Guocheng. In addition, send me an order to dispatch the soldiers from Huajun and Weijun who have just been recruited to rush to Guocheng to help me guard the enemy." The army stops it!"

"Yes!"

After a soldier saluted with clasped fists, he took two steps back and turned around and left the hall.

No one said a word for the soldiers who had just been recruited.

When untrained recruits arrive on the battlefield, only a narrow escape awaits them.

But these superiors don't take their lives seriously at all.

King An narrowed his eyes, his face full of cruelty.

"Send an order to General Zhao in Xunzhou and ask him to act according to the plan, eh, unexpected? They are all the sons of my father. I want to see if he can still laugh after tonight!"

The people below listened to King An's harsh tone. Except for the person who took the order, the others wished they were like a piece of wood and dared not breathe.

At the same time, the place where the fleeing team stopped in Jiajia Village.

Village Chief Jia looked at Cheng Wan with tears in his eyes.

"Girl Wan, I have to thank you, not just me, all of us have to thank you."

With that said, Village Chief Jia was about to bow to Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan couldn't accept this gift and quickly avoided it.

"Village chief, what are you doing?"

Village Chief Jia wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves and said in a hoarse voice: "I have a lot to thank you for. If it weren't for your connections, all the men in our families would have been drafted into the battlefield, and the rest of us would have been sent to the battlefield. Staying at home, life or death is uncertain at this time.”

"Also, when those three pursuers caught up with us, if you hadn't killed them immediately, most of us would have ended up in the same situation as if we had stayed at home."

"No matter what, we can still stand here safely at this time, and the people closest to us are still by our side. This is all thanks to you."

Village Chief Jia's second son no longer had the vague arrogance he had before, and looked at Cheng Wan with gratitude in his eyes.

The other people were told by the village chief, and after thinking about it for a moment, it was really like this, and they immediately thanked Cheng Wan word by word.

Some people couldn't see Cheng Wan, so they found another way to thank other members of the Cheng family.

Cheng Wan was moved by this scene, but also felt dumbfounded.

She waved her hand, signaling everyone to stop.

"I have to thank my friend. She is the daughter of our county magistrate. She sent someone to deliver a letter to me, so I got the news. Her name is Xu Zhinian. If anyone encounters her somewhere in the future, thank her. Enough."

Cheng Wan didn't say that he would deliver a letter to her when the time came. She didn't even know where her family would settle down in the future, so how could she ask someone to deliver a letter to her?

Suddenly, Cheng Wan's eyes lit up. She remembered that Chun Wen seemed to have said that Xu Zhinian's uncle was the governor of Anling County in Liangzhou.

Will Xu Zhinian go to find her uncle?
