Xiaoyao Nongjiazi

With sixty or seventy people who have not yet recovered their physical strength, walking forward, the speed is naturally not much faster.Zhong Qingran and the others are not supervisors, so it is impossible to treat them like animals and beat them with whips at every turn.These people are well-behaved, and they won't think that the new master is soft-hearted and can be bullied just because they get better treatment, so they will stick their noses in the face and do things that make them feel ashamed.

Border towns are no different than other places, and those who will be reduced to slaves are basically not locals.The northern region is bitterly cold. They are newcomers and unfamiliar with the place. Except for those who have been kidnapped by human traffickers, no one will think of running away.Following the new master, there may still be a glimmer of life. It is better to live than to die. In such a general environment, few people would think that being a slave means that life is nothing to love.

Zhong Qingran looked sideways at the servants lined up in two rows, with a look of worry on his brows.At this speed, it is almost impossible to get out of the hundreds of miles of mountains and mountains before the heavy snow seals the mountains.

Forget it, it's useless to think too much. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, so I can only think of a way when the time comes.

At noon, everyone ate some dry food casually, and after a short rest, they continued on the road.

Seeing that the sun was about to set to the west, everyone finally arrived near the three-way intersection of the official road.

"Qing Ran, let's go here. I'll lead the team to drive away those annoying flies." Jian Mingyu's spirit was lifted, and he was no longer easy-going like before, his eyes burst out with a light that was hard to ignore.

"I'll go with you." Zhong Qingran was worried.

"Okay." Jian Mingyu agreed after thinking for a while.

Three village guards were left to guard the team, and Jian Mingyu took the lead, leading a dozen village guards and galloping away.

"Why do I look familiar to those people?"

"You read that right, they are the group of people just now."

"How did they go back?"

"Use your brain, look at their posture, I'm afraid they are coming towards us, why don't you rush to fight."

Those who followed Zhong Qingran originally looked relaxed, but they never expected that the person they were following would show off first.Counseling before starting a war is not their usual way of doing things. Considering that the other party has less than 20 people in total, although their total number of people on their side is small, judging from their past record, it is even more difficult to deal with these people. It can't take much advantage, at least if you don't lose the wind, you will show a brave momentum and go head-on.

When the two armies confront each other, the loser does not lose the battle. Otherwise, they will be timid before the battle, and the hearts of the people will be broken. I am afraid that this battle will not be fought.Zhong Qingran's battle cannot be compared with this, but the reason is the same.

Jian Mingyu has a strong arm. The bow he uses is tailor-made, and the range is farther than that of ordinary long bows. With the addition of two phases and one, he has not yet entered the range of both sides, so he fully draws the bow and aims at the mount of the leader, "Swoosh " With a sound, the arrow pierced through the air, and before the man had time to react, the point of the arrow sank into the horse's neck, leaving only the tail of the arrow trembling in the air.

The arrows came rushing forward, the speed reached a certain level, the horse didn't react for a while, and with the inertia, it ran straight for several feet, and then fell to the ground with a bang, throwing the man on the horse away, and there were two muffled noises from the ground .

This kind of accident made the people who followed them suddenly change their colors, and it is very easy to shake the morale of the army if they lose one person before the battle. If this arrow is shot at someone, I am afraid that they will not fall half to death, but go to see the king of Hades immediately.Those who can be sent out, none of them are useless. They don't lack this kind of vision. They don't think that the arrows of the archers miss. How presumptuous are they to think so?

Seeing this scene, the rest of the people tightened their reins and retreated to both sides one after another, not daring to make another mistake.The power of an arrow has such an effect, which is not what Jian Mingyu expected.This is not a life-and-death struggle, and the two sides have not directly clashed. If they are smart enough, they will leave immediately after receiving a warning.

Seeing Jian Mingyu retreating from the enemy with a single arrow, Zhong Qingran's eyes sparkled, and his smile spread from the corners of his eyes and brows to his whole body. His whole body was like the warm sun in winter, dazzling but not hurtful.

Jian Mingyu felt something strange around him, and when he turned his head, he met Shang Zhong Qingran's burning eyes. For a moment, the cold and evil spirit condensed on his body dissipated a lot.After all, it's not a good feeling to do something to someone, and it's worth it for him to get the support of his partner.

"Go, go back, if they still don't give up and continue to follow secretly, then don't blame me for being rude." Jian Mingyu turned his horse's head and ordered to return to the team.This time, on the contrary to before, Jian Mingyu and Zhong Qingran were located between Jian Mingyu and the village guard from beginning to end.

The followers saw that they had been exposed, and when confronted with Zhong Qingran and the others, they knew that they were invincible with one move. Seeing that the other party was only a warning, and did not really attack them, most of them were very savvy, and immediately returned to the city to report. There was only one force, which was evacuating Once in a safe zone, stay there.The in-charge fell to the ground and didn't know what the situation was. Several people had to sigh, the rafters in the early years were easy to rot, and the in-charge was being killed to make an example to others. If you don't pick the leader, who will you pick?Bad luck for him.

After Zhong Qingran and the others left, they hurried back and got the steward onto the horse. As for the horse that was killed by an arrow?Don't think about it, it has already been taken away by Zhong Qingran and the others. This is meat, and it happens to be an extra meal at night, so it's just a fare for them to toss this game.

"How's the job?"

"It's okay, I only broke a leg, and it will be fine after going back to raise it for a few months."

"Then why didn't the manager wake up?"

"It goes without saying that I fainted from the fall."

"Where do you think those people came from? I've never heard of such a fierce man in a border town. With such skill, if he joins the army, wouldn't it be like a dragon entering the sea, and he will be appointed as a marquis and general, just around the corner?"

"If you think too much, it's not that easy. Such a talent is too eye-catching. The most likely thing is that before he grows up, he will ruin his life on the battlefield. If he is lucky, he will follow As you guessed, when the time comes, I’m afraid they won’t be able to stop them even if they try. That’s why they want to kill people in the cradle. Everyone is afraid of being squeezed out of their seats. Few people can bear this kind of fate." The speaker can understand it, but knowing it doesn't mean that he can do it, otherwise, there is no such thing as talking on paper.

"Then we don't care and let them leave so arrogantly?"

"I don't have any hatred at all. If I don't do this, what else can I do? There is no death order from above. Would you like to go to such a thankless thing?"

The man scratched his head, laughed a few times, and then stopped talking.It's not easy to make a living in the border town. Looking at the scenery, they are not sure when they will confess their lives. If they can avoid it, they will naturally not foolishly post it on their own.

Not only do they think so, but so do the other forces.It's not a life-and-death enmity, since the idea is tough, even if you want to continue to follow, you have to find someone with better skills to come over, and they can't please them if they follow up. What is more cost-effective, everyone knows.

After leaving a certain distance, Jian Mingyu turned his head and looked around with binoculars, but found no one following him, so he brought the people and the left behind people together and headed towards the entrance of the mountain together.

Two days later, Zhong Qingran and his party arrived at the place that Manager Su had reserved.There are no villages near here, so even the outskirts of the mountain are still inaccessible.

Steward Su rode on horseback, which was much faster than walking. He started late, but the latecomers came first.Due to the different walking routes, the two sides did not meet halfway.

Seeing the arrival of Zhong Qingran and his party, Steward Su took the initiative to greet him: "I don't know, Young Master Zhong, do you want to take a break and watch it later, or go and have a look now?"

"Let's go now. I know that Steward Su is busy with his affairs. I have troubled him a lot before. I can't delay Steward Su even more because of this little matter." Zhong Qingran said beautifully on the scene, and Steward Su felt comfortable listening, no matter if it was sincere It's still a lie, as long as there is no flaw on the face, then everyone will be happy, hello and me.In many cases, friendship is like this.

"Okay, Young Master Zhong, come with me." Steward Su led them into the mountain. This is a small valley. The place that was overgrown with weeds has now been cleared out to a large open space. All the people Zhong Qingran needs are arranged in it. "Everyone is here, you can choose whatever you want, if you don't like it, I'll let someone take it away."

"Su Guanshi, then I'm not polite." Zhong Qingran didn't refuse, and asked people to line up in two lines, he and Jian Mingyu were in charge of one line each.Zhong Qingran took out two woodcarvings blessed by good luck from his luggage, and placed them on the wooden dunzi in front of the two of them, asking people to pass by in an orderly manner.Anyone with a different expression will be screened out.

Manager Su couldn't figure it out, so he didn't know how Zhong Qingran chose.But he didn't say much, and signaled his subordinates to take those who were not selected aside.

More than 1000 people is not a small number, even if it is divided into two, Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu share the burden, and it is like watching flowers on a horse, one in ten seconds, it took a lot of time to pass everyone. over again.

"Boss Su, please take away all the people who have been screened out, as well as their family members. I only want those left." Zhong Qingran did not beat around the bush, and directly expressed his meaning.

Steward Su is still confused so far, but he dare not neglect Zhong Qingran's request at all, and he quickly settled the matter.Seeing that the matter was over, Manager Su left immediately, but Zhong Qingran did not hold him back, but called him aside, took out an unpretentious wooden box from his arms, stuffed it into Manager Su's hand, and said softly: "Manager Su, this thing Be sure to hand it over to the third prince, and don't lose it."

Guanshi Su's heart tightened. Before Zhong Qingran took out the colored glaze refining formula, he had never seen him do it so solemnly. Although Guanshi Su didn't know what was inside, its importance was self-evident. He immediately responded positively, and then , and left quickly with a large group of people.

Zhong Qingran took the roster and counted them one by one, and then asked them to form their own teams. For the time being, ten people make up one group, with ten members as one team leader, five people as one guarantee, five guarantees as one armor, and one armor leader. Wujia is one li, and the length of the li is set.Excluding Zhong Qingran and his group, including the people he bought in the Renshi Market, the total number of people was just over a thousand, not even a mile.

Looking at the huge crowd of people below, Zhong Qingran still thought that the number was too small, but after thinking about it, he should be content with getting so many people in such a haste.
