byThe whole valley was as bright as day, and near the entrance of the valley, broken branches and wooden stakes were piled up in a pile, all of which were newly cut trees, and the leaves were still bright.
From time to time, there is the sound of golden stones walking back and forth by people in armor.
At this time, Zhou Fei heard a familiar bird call. She looked up and saw something flashing at her on the mountain. It turned out that Li Sheng and the others had climbed to a high place.
Zhou Fei had a very tacit understanding with him. As soon as she heard the bird's voice, she understood what he meant. She grabbed a handful of beans that were fed to the horse, raised her hand and hit it out. The black beans added strength and hit the rocks in the mountain, "Crackling" There was a loud noise, and the guards were immediately alerted, and they all picked up their swords and looked around.
Zhou Fei fell from the tree in a hurry. The guards only felt a black shadow flashing past, and they couldn't tell if it was a person. There was chaos. While Zhou Fei was leading the guards away, Li Sheng and the others quickly ran across the darker part of the mountain. Fortunately, the trees on the mountain didn't have time to cut down. Only the entrance was cleaned up, avoiding the For a short distance, there is nowhere to hide.
The guards at the entrance told Zhou Fei to take a walk. Finally, a circle of people with swords carefully followed the sound and approached the pile of wood. The first person made several gestures to his subordinates, and then stepped forward abruptly and shouted loudly. He stabbed a pile of leaves with the long wooden warehouse in his hand, only to hear a scream between the branches and leaves, which scared the guards to draw their swords and swords, but the little leader pulled the long wooden warehouse and saw that his wooden warehouse was pierced on the head. A big bird, not yet dead, fluttered its wings and struggled to death.
"Why is it a bird?" The little leader scratched his head inexplicably. "It's scattered, and everyone goes back to their posts...Is this a crow or what? Why is it so big? It's really evil!"
Seeing that it was a "false alarm", the entrance to the valley soon returned to calm. Only the little leader felt that a terrifyingly large crow suddenly appeared in the middle of the night was unlucky, so he took the big bird to the fire and planned to burn it directly.
He was humming a little song that he didn't know where it was, and the long wooden warehouse was hanging on the fire, and a cold light slowly peeked out from behind him, pointing directly at his back.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and the patrol team in the valley came over and greeted him from a distance: "What are you baking? It's okay to steal it, don't make a mistake!"
The little head shouted and responded, but he didn't see the cold light behind him and slowly shrank back.
Zhou Fei turned her head to look at the open valley, and saw that there were many shabby dwellings in the valley, some of which were flattened and barricaded. In the middle was a huge central military tent that was very conspicuous under the shadow of the firelight, and the grain was piled high. The war horses are neat and tidy... This is too far from the "Qi's access control area" she imagined, especially those dwellings that have not had time to be leveled, obviously they have been through the wind and rain for some years. A few tattered bricks and a half-collapsed livestock pen can be seen.
Qimen has always been mysterious and unpredictable, and the "forbidden land" is even a legend. The black judge has been in the Qimen for so many years, but he has not touched the edge of the forbidden land. Will there be a group of ordinary people in it who raise pigs and herd sheep?
impossible.
Zhou Fei couldn't help being disappointed and sighed secretly. She felt that the whole day and night were all in vain. In fact, thinking about it, she knew that it was so easy to crash into the gated area of Qi. If there was such good fortune and luck, she would still Can you run around for more than three years and get nothing?
Zhou Fei took back the shattered cover indifferently, glanced at the little leader of the Northern Army who was ignorantly taking his life, and silently ducked to the edge of the mountain wall to avoid it.
"When the Northern Dynasty army gathers here, it's not something that the rude people like us can manage," Zhou Fei thought.
Because Li Sheng was carrying Wu Chuchu and a child with him, he did not dare to be too aggressive, and he has been carefully exploring the outside of the valley under the cover of mountains, rocks and trees, and the more he looked, the more frightened: "Look, the grain is rough and the arsenal is sufficient, the whole There are no old or weak soldiers in the valley, all of them are strong and strong... That scout is wrong, there are at least nearly 40,000 people, mainly cavalry and archers."
Yang Jin and Li Yan stared at each other with big and small eyes.
Only Wu Chuchu replied gently: "The baggage is very small, so I'm afraid I won't stay here for a long time."
Li Sheng finally found someone who could understand people's words, and sighed with relief.
Wu Chuchu stretched out his hand again and asked, "What's going on there?"
Several of them were martial arts practitioners with excellent night vision. Looking in the direction of her finger, they saw a heavily guarded place in the corner of the valley, which was blocked by iron fences, and a figure in ragged clothes could be vaguely seen. .
At this moment, there was a sudden sound behind him. Someone tapped the stone with the handle of the knife. Yang Jin was startled and turned around abruptly. Seeing that it was Zhou Fei, he put down the Broken Wild Goose Saber.
Zhou Fei said impatiently: "Let's go, there are only a few of us, and we are carrying a little brat, and it was discovered that they were not playing - brother, I will go back and find Qi Men myself, you first hurry back to find my father. , don't delay business."
"Wait." Wu Chuchu suddenly said, "Look, what do they want?"
☆、Chapter 142
A messenger ran out of the large tent in the middle, stood in the open space, and raised his hand.
A circle of guards sitting beside the iron fence saw the people coming, and they all stood up. Zhou Fei and the others were too far away, and they didn't know what was going on between the two sides. Anyway, after a while, the messenger turned and left. But the guards lit the surrounding torches one after another.
The iron fence was originally built in a dark place. Previously, only a few people could be seen inside. Li Sheng and the others thought it was just a small corner of the mountain, and it was probably a relatively unlucky refugee, no more than a dozen or two dozen. .
But as the torches lit up one after another, several people were stunned.
I saw that the iron fence turned out not to be backed by the foot of the mountain, but to seal a mountain. It was impossible to see how deep the mountain was. It was full of people, young and old. At a glance, there are hundreds of people, and those people are trapped behind the iron fence like livestock.
Li Yan was shocked: "God...God, how can there be so many people!"
Yang Jin said in surprise: "Is it a refugee? So many people will not be killed or let go. What are they doing locked up? Are you keeping them?"
"I guess when Beidou Giant Gate and Po Jun came here for the first time, they must have seen that the valley's concealment was man-made. I couldn't figure out the situation, and I wasn't sure whether there were other secret passages in this valley," Li Sheng gently He explained, "There are so many refugees here, if they rashly kill the killer, and if the refugees know other secret entrances and exits and escape a few fish that slip through the net, their drama will not be able to continue this time."
Wu Chuchu immediately understood what he meant, and suddenly realized: "So you can't kill them, you must stabilize these refugees first."
"That's right, for example, at the beginning, these northern troops were able to pay equal attention to both favor and power. On the one hand, it was said that the refugees Nandu was treason, and should be punished for the crime of the nine clans, and then caught a leader among them and killed one as an example. After the killing, all the charges will be pushed to the On the head of the dead, I will show tenderness to the panic-stricken refugees, and declare that they are bewitched by the jian people. If they sincerely repent, they will be freed from the guilt." Li Sheng thought for a while, and then said, "If it was me, I would pretend They sent people to re-register them and tell them that the population in the north has dropped sharply. The court plans to re-measure and allocate abandoned land. Those who hold this registration will be able to get first-class land when they go back in the future. In this way, the refugees are stabilized. , the number of people has been counted, and it will save someone from fishing in troubled waters."
Yang Jin looked down, and found that Li Sheng's words were enough to make him feel jittery. These Central Plains people don't use knives to kill people.
With prestige and temptation, you can deal with a flock of sheep that has lost the leader, one by one.
Most of the refugees are timid, and what they seek for all their lives is just a place to live. If they cannot survive, they will not flee and resist rashly. As long as they can eat and drink without being beaten, they can be told to stay here honestly. Maybe they can buy a few people with weak minds to help these northern troops investigate other secret passages.
When the Northern Army has almost touched the terrain, they will be able to tear their skin off - and at this stage of the field, these refugees have already lost their ability and courage at the beginning, and they are basically only allowed to be slaughtered. At this time, they must be killed. No matter how hard you want to support them, you can do whatever you want.
But it's a pity that no matter how many people there are, they can always give birth to aliens - those who escaped with their children.
They may not have any great wisdom and courage, maybe it was a coincidence, for some reason they had to run, and they accidentally succeeded.
The Northern Army was about to be assembled, and the leaks would definitely fall short. At this juncture, Li Sheng could imagine how angry Gu Tianxuan and others were, so he did not hesitate to send several groups of troops to hunt down a few village women and farmers. It is absolutely impossible to kill them all. At the same time, since raising these refugees is no longer worthwhile, in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, it is just right to kill them all.
In the valley, outside the iron fence, a group of guards buckled their armor and raised their shiny machetes—Zhou Fei and the others didn’t know how they were so lucky, but they happened to meet this “silent” scene.
The child Wu Chuchu was holding struggled to move again, but this time Wu Chuchu took a long note and insisted on holding onto him not to move. In a hurry, the child made a small whimper in his throat and lowered his head to bite. Her hand, but before she could speak, a hand grabbed her chin.
Zhou Fei quickly opened his mouth, raised the little face of the child, and glanced at him coldly, flicking her fingers, brushing over his drowsiness, the child's eye circles turned red, but she could not resist, so she had no choice but to Unwillingly, he closed his eyes reluctantly, tears "swipe" from the closed eyelids, and the eyes flowed all over his face.
Zhou Fei wiped away the tears on her fingertips and whispered, "Li Sheng."
Li Shengqiang Xing retracted his gaze, hesitated for a moment, and gritted his teeth: "Jianghu has the rules of Jianghu, don't mess with the court, let's go."
Li Yan's eyes widened in disbelief: "Brother?"
Li Sheng turned a deaf ear, picked up her shoulders and pushed her forward gently, urging her to go quickly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to Wu Chuchu: "I'll hold this child, you all go ahead."
At the foot of the mountain, the refugees who were "to be slaughtered" seemed to have understood something, and the crowd panicked and chaotic. There was no one who was crowded in the dimly lit mountain. It spread from the wide valley to the heights, and kept drilling into the ears of several "young heroes".
Li Yan turned around to look in a hurry, and was pushed to the brink by Li Sheng inadvertently.
"What are you looking at?" Li Sheng became impatient and scolded impatiently, "Let's go!"
Li Yan couldn't help but exclaimed, "Are you blind, Li Sheng? They want to kill people! Killing unarmed people who escaped all the way...so many people, even a mountain, Fei! You should say something!"
Zhou Fei's footsteps paused, but she didn't say a word.
Li Yan thought she didn't hear her, and called "A Fei" and "A Fei" several times in a row, but Zhou Fei kept ignoring her. For a moment, Li Yan seemed to understand something. She stared at Zhou Fei, and then at Li Sheng. The light reflected in her big eyes was like a small fire that had been doused with cold water, and it gradually dimmed in astonishment.
After a while, she opened her mouth and said: "No... don't care about them?"
Li Sheng said coldly, "Do you want to court death?"
Li Yan was extremely aggrieved: "But in Jinan Mansion, didn't A Fei save the uncle from Tong Kaiyang?"
Zhou Fei lowered her head and rubbed the handle of the broken cover.
Li Yan said to Li Sheng again: "And you, didn't you still talk to me on the way, saying that you were in Liujiazhuang with a group of people to defeat Yin Pei, the iron-masked demon, you..."
"Have you finished yet?" Li Sheng interrupted her, "A Fei and Tong Kaiyang have been hand-in-hand more than once, and she knew it before drawing the knife. At Liujiazhuang, everyone had already discussed to encircle Yin Pei, you know. What do you mean by 'encirclement and suppression'? If it weren't for the fact that all the major sects were scattered all these years, Yin Pei would not have been able to jump up and down until now - look here again!"
He turned his head and pointed down the valley: "How many people are there? How many people is this? We have five people in total, with a burdensome brat - and you can't be a personal servant like you. Let me tell you the truth, Li Yan "Don't say it's me and you today, even if my aunt is here with all the seniors in our village, she wouldn't dare to rashly attack tens of thousands of soldiers from the Northern Dynasty."
Li Sheng always has a bad face towards her, but he rarely speaks harshly.
Li Yan was frightened by her brother's sudden attack.
Li Sheng took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "Even if you have boundless mana, you can move mountains and overturn the sea, and stun the tens of thousands of troops, then what? Look at those people, most of them can't stand up. , how did you save them, ah? Li Yan, it's not too young, when can you talk over your head?"
A long time ago, Li Sheng was full of thoughts of "getting ahead", and he left the team privately because of his anger. He sincerely believed that Young Master Li was unparalleled in the world, thinking that one day he would be able to make a hole in the sky, and he would not admit it to death. Zhou Fei is better than him.
Now, he has learned how to manage the defense of the village in an orderly manner, and has learned to be truly exquisite in front of outsiders. He has also learned to keep a low profile, and knows that "unparalleled in the world" is not a good word... Even because Mrs. Nishang's few words are meaningful hinted and fled.
A long time ago, Zhou Fei used to be a new born calf who was not afraid of tigers. She was armed with a half-hearted snowbreaker. There is no kingly law, and if morality and justice are lost, then what else can those people who are struggling to survive among them have hope?”
Up to now, her impermanence sword for breaking the snow has become, and it can make Mu Xiaoqiao say "Li Zheng may not be able to win you", but her hands and feet seem to be "bound". When she meets Tong Kaiyang on a narrow road, she will make a fool of the snake, and she will hide in the dark when the heroes are besieging and suppressing Yin Pei... Even sometimes, when she thinks of the foggy past, she will have boundless doubts and doubts in her heart. untie.
Li Sheng wants to go back to the forty-eight villages, and a lot of trivial chores are still waiting for him in the village. Li Jinrong can't protect the boat in the forty-eight villages forever. She is slowly shifting the burden to the shoulders of the younger generation.
Zhou Fei still has to go to the Qi gate to find that little hope. In recent years, she has always had a sense of urgency that came from nowhere, as if she was unhappy, Xie Yun couldn't wait any longer.
Wu Chuchu knew that his ability was low, and that he was able to hold people's hind legs down, which was an extraordinary performance. No matter how big the injustice was in his heart, he didn't dare to be generous to others, so he could only silently listen to the quarrel between the Li Sheng brothers and sisters.
Li Jinrong has also grown old in recent years, and now she is more pleasant to meet these juniors. Occasionally, when she is free, she can even sit down calmly and talk to Zhou Fei about the snowbreaker, and then wave her hand helplessly, admitting, "I have nothing else to do. pointing you."
