My country, you can pinch it

Chapter 63 Late Night

In order to facilitate management, tens of thousands of refugees were directly scattered and filled into each team, drank porridge, and had a leading officer, so they had a home.Most of the refugees were so tired that they just sat on the ground and fell asleep next to each other. Although there were not many bedding and blankets, they would be warm when they stood next to each other, and they slept soundly.

For ordinary refugees, going up the mountain to invade the bandits is a matter of fear and risking their lives. Being able to attach themselves to the prince's subordinates is better than bandits. Therefore, there are far fewer soldiers than the refugees, but they are still docile and obedient.

However, this night, not everyone could fall asleep soundly. Those who were worried about the starving wives and children on the mountain kept their eyes open and looked at the starry sky above their heads.

They really wanted to go back and have a look, but they didn't dare to leave rashly, for fear of offending the officer and the nobleman, so they kept looking at the luxurious carriage inside frequently.

"My lord won't leave them behind, will he?" Finally Wang Mazi pushed his partner beside him and couldn't help asking anxiously.

Wang Mazi is also a ruthless character on the mountain. After all, there are not many men who can protect their wives and children there. The partner thought about it and asked, "If you don't bring your sister-in-law and them, Brother Mazi, what are you going to do?"

"Then I'll go. I can't leave them behind. Without me, they will have no way to survive." Thinking of his youngest daughter who was almost stolen and eaten, Wang Mazi didn't hesitate, his eyes were firm on his thin and dark face.

There are not a few people who think the same as him. The refugees look at each other and hold their breath until now. Isn't there someone behind them?

But in the end they couldn't help but look at the biggest carriage inside. They had porridge to drink and could enter the city. Who wanted to leave?After passing this village, I am afraid that there will be no such store to bring them back to their original days.

"Don't be discouraged, Zhao Xiucai said, Lord Ning will find a way."

Wang Mazi nodded. It was the first time he saw such an honorable person. His words seemed to weigh a thousand catties. Everyone listened to him. It seemed that with him, nothing was difficult.

Today he begged boldly and did not offend King Ning. Instead, such an honorable man knelt down and picked up the bowl of porridge and handed it to him, persuading him to drink it first.

Wang Mazi drank the porridge, the porridge was so fragrant, it made him want to cry, and it also made him want to see his wife and children more urgently.

"Yes, Master Ning Wang will not abandon them."

Suddenly a man with a fleshy face next to him sneered and said, "Come on, the porridge is so watery that it can only be tasted, which means that King Ning doesn't have much food left, and we can give him a soldier with us. The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled can do nothing but drag you down, and they can't even go to Yongliang City."

As soon as he spoke, everyone lowered their heads subconsciously and silently, not daring to say more.

Obviously, this person is a bandit, who is usually fearful when he sees a vicious person, but he looks honest among the refugees, but he is actually full of bad intentions.

The one-eyed bandit leader was shot through with an arrow, and he was already dead, but there are too many such things in the bandit den, the first master died, the second master took over the cottage, the second master was gone, and the third master...

If it weren't for the difficult times in this world, the bandits wouldn't be able to find anyone to rob, otherwise why would they be so angry and hang out with a bunch of useless refugees.

They also want to go to the city.

What the bandit said made Wang Mazi's heart ache. He got close to Zhao Bufan and asked the scholar, but he didn't reply, so he knew what the bandit said was true.

"Brother Mazi, go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow." The partner next to him persuaded him.

Wang Mazi didn't make a sound, just looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, there was a sound of rumbling horseshoes from far to near, which disturbed the entire camp. No matter how deep they were sleeping, the refugees woke up one by one.

"what happened?"

They saw a group of cavalry returning to the camp, lighting torches, and there were dozens of them, and the leaders were two female generals with serious faces, and one of them turned around and shouted: "Report to King Ning and General Qing immediately, quick!"

After the first battle, as mentioned by Zhao Xiucai intentionally or unintentionally, the refugees knew that the person who commanded the battle was actually the granddaughter of the Marquis of Xiling.

Everyone knew that the Marquis of Xiling used soldiers like a god, and he was the god of Dinghai in the northwest, so his granddaughter must also be a very powerful general. King Ning had the Marquis of Xiling to help him, which made him even more confident.

The refugees were sleeping on the outside, and this team of cavalry had to go through them before going to the big tent, but they probably stopped in the middle to wait for King Ning to summon them.

"Strange, is there still something dragging behind the horse?" Someone could not help asking in a low voice when he heard the sound of heavy objects rubbing against the ground.

"Yeah, it's long, and it seems quite heavy." The fire was so dim that it was hard to see clearly, and the nearest refugee had to keep his eyes open and stare hard.

Seeing that the soldiers didn't yell at them, let alone answer them, they boldly took two steps forward, trying to find out.

Suddenly a horse stomped, as if it sensed the approach of a stranger, and couldn't help taking a few steps forward, but the heavy object dragged behind the horse stumbled over the rocks below, and suddenly the thing on it jumped. Turning around, he stared at the refugee with his unrepentant head...

The man leaned back in fright, "Mom!"

The people next to him also saw it clearly, and exclaimed, "It's a dead person!"

The word "dead" was too sensitive, and it immediately caused a commotion. The savage bandits beside Wang Mazi immediately pushed aside the crowd and squeezed to the front.

"What are you doing, go back!" The officers and soldiers on horseback yelled at the surroundings.

The bandit couldn't help but asked with a smile: "My lord, why did you drag so many dead people back this night? It's so creepy."

The officers and soldiers glanced at him and said bluntly, "What's none of your business?"

"Just, just ask, everyone looks scared."

The officer and soldier sneered, "Are you still afraid of the dead?"

The soldier who went to complain earlier came back, "General, His Highness Prince Ning asked you to bring all the corpses in."

There was no ice, so as soon as he raised his hand, the cavalrymen dragged the corpse to the big tent as soon as they clamped the horse's belly.

As soon as they left, the refugees started whispering to each other, and the startled one sat back in shock, and suddenly there was another person beside him, and the savage-faced bandit asked, "Did you see clearly?"

The refugee wanted to shake his head, but under his ferocious eyes, he finally said: "Okay, it seems to be the businessman who was thrown down the mountain before..."

The flesh-and-blood bandit narrowed his eyes immediately.

"Well, what did they bring this corpse back for? Don't they have to find the murderer for them?"

"I didn't kill anyone." A refugee next to him immediately separated himself.

"I didn't kill it either."

"It has nothing to do with me."

Hearing this, the flesh-and-blood bandit smiled grimly, "Why, haven't you enjoyed the benefits?"

The refugees immediately fell silent.

Bandit Mountain is also divided into three, six, and nine grades. How can the bottom-level refugees get any light?But out of fear of the bandits, no one spoke.

"Fifth brother, don't worry, didn't King Ning say that? He let the past go, so what if he kills him?" A tall and thin man approached the savage bandit and comforted him with a smile.

At this time, Wang Mazi said: "Master Ning Wang just said that he will not be held accountable for offending him, and he has not promised anything else."

"Brother Mazi!" The companion beside him quickly pushed him.

Wang Mazi turned his face away and didn't speak again. He clearly remembered that the man who wanted to arrest his daughter was the dog's leg of this savage bandit and was killed by him. It was only Zhao Xiucai who interceded for him so that everything was safe.

"Wang Mazi, be careful what you say. Don't think that relying on Zhao Xiucai is great. Your women and children are still on the mountain, and the brothers are watching them." Before the savage bandit could speak, the tall and thin man started to threaten.

Wang Mazi immediately stood up, and said fiercely: "Li Shouzi, if you dare to touch them, I will kill you!"

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, sit down for me!" At this time, the officer in the team shouted angrily.

Wang Mazi then sat down slowly, and even the savage bandit patted the thin man on the shoulder, telling him to shut up, "It's okay."

His eyes turned among the refugees around him, some of them immediately looked away as soon as they touched him, and some of them nodded towards him.

Those who are bandits are always more defensive than others.

The camp quickly became quiet, except for those who stood on guard, everyone was fast asleep.

At this time, there was a sudden burst of crying. Although it was far away, it could still be heard clearly in the quiet darkness, and it came from the camp inside.

The refugees didn't wake up, but the soldiers standing guard showed doubts, looked at each other, subconsciously looked over there.

It happened to be a shift, and a soldier finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

The man lowered his voice and said: "Don't mention it, it's the corpses brought back by the two Generals Shang. His Highness King Ning asked the caravan behind to come and identify them. Unexpectedly, those merchants recognized them at a glance. They all knew each other. Brother, this is heart-piercing crying, let you hear it too, and keep begging His Royal Highness King Ning to make decisions for them."

It was a sigh of relief.

"Did King Ning agree?"

"This...you also know who else can be killed in this kind of place, maybe..." He pouted at the refugees who were lying down and pretending to sleep, "If King Ning is usually jealous of evil, he will definitely kill the murderer." Find it out, to avenge the sufferer, but..." The man hesitated, "The most important thing now is to go to the city, even if you want to uphold justice, you have to wait until you go to the city."

"Didn't King Ning forgive them all?"

"Hey, you didn't listen to King Ning's words. The refugees are not going to be held accountable for robbing the caravan. Don't you forget about the murder and arson you did before? Do you want to be with this kind of person?"

"If you say that, it's true, bandits, even if they are good, they will kill without blinking an eye."

The officers and soldiers who were changing guard patted the brother's arm, "Then I'm going to sleep, you guys watch carefully."

"Don't worry, anyone who dares to relax their vigilance at this time, General Shang will not take our skin."

Amidst the ups and downs of sound sleep, the refugees did not move. The laid-off soldiers went back to sleep. The substitutes looked around and then stood at their own positions. The sound of footsteps was far away, and the place became quiet again.

Several sleepless gangsters opened their eyes.

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was lightly dawning, and there were movements in the entire camp one after another.

"Get up, assemble!" The officers and soldiers shouted one by one the refugees who were still lying on the ground.

Yawning and stretching, the refugees put away the bedding and blankets on the ground, and the servants came to collect them and load them into the trucks.

The camp has already boiled hot water, because the tens of thousands of refugees joined, the food has also dropped sharply, but even so, it is still salivating for the refugees.

"Brother Mazi, I saw it. I'm eating pancakes this morning!"

The refugees all had surprises in their eyes. They drank porridge yesterday and ate pancakes today. This treatment is too good!

But Wang Mazi didn't care about this, he looked for someone in the crowd, and when he saw Zhao Bufan, he immediately chased him.

"Zhao Xiucai!"

"Mazi." Zhao Bufan was a little surprised, but not surprised, "Are you here to ask about family members?"

"Yes, yes, what did Lord Ning say, yes, can you bring them along?" Wang Mazi asked carefully, as if he was afraid of hearing the answer.

Listening to their conversation, the refugees around gradually gathered together, especially those who had the same worries as Wang Mazi, looked at Zhao Bufan eagerly.

Zhao Bufan patted Wang Mazi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, gather first, His Highness King Ning has something to say."

"Zhao Xiucai..."

"Don't worry, there is always a way." Zhao Bufan walked around Mazi and walked towards the tent.

"Cough cough..."

Liu Ke looked at the man who was coughing badly, and frowned so much that it could kill flies.He was still careless last night. He was so concerned with his own confusion that Fang Jinling asked him to find a way, but he didn't notice that the young man's body was fragile and he couldn't be careless.

After going to bed late and letting someone blow the wind again, after exhausting my thoughts, the cold air entered my body, and I fell ill again.

The doctor was immediately taken over by him, but Fang Jinling's frailty was brought out from the womb. This was something that he couldn't do anything about for a while, so he had to take care of it carefully and take care of it slowly.

Liu Ke stood on the side, showing a self-blame and uncertain face, the stinky little dumpling dared not approach him, nor did he dare to say that Zhao Xiucai was already waiting.

"Your Highness, go get busy first...don't worry about me, it's fine if mother is here...cough cough..." Fang Jinling raised his weak and pale face while coughing, trying to persuade him.

Liu Ke knew, so she looked at Shang Qingrong who was guarding Fang Jinling, and said in a low voice: "Then please, Mrs. Shang, if there is anything Lingling needs, send someone to tell me right away."

Hearing these words, Shang Qingrong was obviously worried, but couldn't help laughing: "Ling'er is my son, it's only natural to take care of him, Your Highness has important business, don't delay."

Upon hearing this, Xiaotuanzi said quickly: "Your Highness, the team has assembled and is waiting for you."

Liu Ke looked at Fang Jinling again, and the latter smiled weakly: "Go, my task is completed, the next step is up to you, I wish you all the best."

"Don't worry, I won't let you down, you can lie down all the way to Yongliang City." Liu Ke said, walked to Fang Jinling's side, raised his hand to stroke his hair, "When everything is settled, brother will take you well." It's fun."

Fang Jinling nodded lightly and agreed, "Okay."

Liu Ke thought for a while and told Xiaotuanzi: "Show Mrs. Shang a few medicine lists, what herbs and supplements are needed, don't mind, just use them directly."

"Yes."

After Liu Ke finished speaking, he looked at Fang Jinling again, and the latter blinked at him, "Waiting for your good news."

"Heal with peace of mind." He instructed, and finally lifted the curtain and went out.

Looking at the worried back, Shang Qingrong couldn't help saying with emotion: "Ling'er, His Royal Highness King Ning is a good person."

Fang Jinling lay dying in the carriage, raised her lips, and said to herself, of course, the one I picked.
