Chapter 23: Encountering Soldier on the Road

Although the landlords are ruthless, their actions are normal in this troubled world. We cannot expect others to have noble moral character. Everyone can only rely on themselves and work hard to survive.

Gu Jun whispered to Jiang Chen: "In this world, people like landlords can live better than others. Do you think God is unfair?"

"Sometimes God's will is unpredictable. You never know who will live better than whom. Just wait and see."

Jiang Chen's words meant something, and Gu Jun seemed to understand, but it seemed that the anger that had occupied his heart just now was no longer so strong.

While the landlord's family was enjoying a feast around the fire, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared from a distance. Their uniforms were stained with dazzling bright red, and their faces were covered in bruises and purples, mixed with blood.

This appearance obviously came from the battlefield, but there is no camp where the Daqian army is stationed nearby. Where did these people come from?

What's even more strange is that they have no weapons or horses in their hands, and their mental state is no different from those of refugees fleeing from famine. Jiang Chen therefore suspects that these people should be deserters!

"I recognize these military uniforms. They should be soldiers under General Wang's command, but they should be on the front line right now. Why did they appear here?"

Gu Jun whispered to Jiang Chen.

As soon as the soldiers appeared, they began to look around impatiently, as if they were looking for something important. After a while, they spotted the landlord's family sitting together.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen knew in his heart that something was going to happen to this family.

"No, they want to kill people!"

"Calm down, take a look at the situation first, and let's try not to cause trouble."

Gu Jun's years of experience on the battlefield allowed him to instantly feel the murderous intent coming from these soldiers, and Jiang Chen reminded him in time to stay calm.

These ruffians are not the rotten fish and shrimps under Zhao He. Their fighting power is far superior to the bandits in Hutou Mountain. You must know that these people have almost died on the battlefield. If you make them anxious , the consequences will be very serious.

Fortunately, these people did not have weapons in their hands, so Jiang Chen decided to adapt to circumstances and would never conflict with these soldiers unless necessary.

At this time, a blood mist appeared in his sight, and warm blood splashed into the air. The surrounding refugees were frightened and immediately ran away. The two guards beside the landlord were already lying in a pool of blood.

Jiang Chen almost forgot that the two guards of the landlord's house had knives in their hands, and these soldiers took the swords from their hands without any effort at all.

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time, get out of here!"

These soldiers looked like hungry wolves descending from the mountain, killing at will without saying a word. The landlord and his family were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they did not dare to say a word.

One of the soldiers grabbed the bowl and chopsticks from the landlord's hand and started gobbling it up. There were seven of them in the group, which was already an extraordinary force.

All the soldiers ate large pieces of meat as if no one was watching. The landlord and his mother-in-law, who had just been bossing others around, were curled up and shivering.

The two guards who protected them died so quickly that they didn't even realize what was going on.

He is clearly a soldier from Daqian, but he kills innocent people without any guilt at all. Are such soldiers here to protect the people or to kill their own people?

"You should be on the front lines."

Gu Jun, who was sitting next to Jiang Chen, suddenly spoke.

These soldiers just raised their heads and saw that a lunatic who had lost an arm was talking nonsense, so they didn't take it seriously. Now they only have meat in their eyes and are not interested in anything.

Gu Jun asked again: "Does General Wang know that you escaped back?"

"Escaping from battle is a capital crime. You just killed people indiscriminately. This is already an added mistake and an added crime!"

Jiang Chen sighed, thinking that the obsession in Gu Jun's heart would not allow him to watch like this and do nothing. Now the situation is a bit difficult to handle.

The leader of the soldiers chewed a bone and cursed: "Who is this lunatic? If he dares to talk to us like this, please shut up his mouth!"

Two of the soldiers stood up and walked towards Gu Jun. One of them had a knife in his hand, and it was he who had just killed a man.

"I can be wherever I want, and it's your turn to talk nonsense? I think you think your life is too long and you are deliberately seeking death, right?"

Although Gu Jun has been away from the army for a long time, he hates seeing these shameful deserters the most, so even though Jiang Chen deliberately reminded him just now, he couldn't help but say it in the end.

"If there are scum like you in the Daqian army, how can we not lose the battle?"

"Hahaha, you crazy man, if we hadn't been there, useless people like you would have died hundreds of times. They say that we are the scum of the army, why should we let you, a cripple, go in?"

Gu Jun's words aroused a burst of ridicule, but now he seemed to be unable to bear it.

Jiang Chen stood up at this time and wanted to smooth things over, so he explained: "Fellow military lords, don't be like him. His brain is not very good and he fantasizes about being a general commanding an army every day."

"I've scolded him several times in normal times, but sometimes I just can't stop him. I'm really sorry."

The soldier leader sneered and said, "Are you trying to trick me? I know the look in his eyes very clearly. It's a look you can only see on the battlefield. I don't know where he is from, but he ended up hiding like this."

Has the place come?"

"Everyone is talking to each other. Since you have been to the front line, you should know what the birds look like there. If my brothers and I don't escape, will we die in that place in vain?"

With that said, the leader of the soldiers took the knife from his companion and walked straight towards Gu Jun.

The conflict was about to break out, and the distance between the two became closer and closer. However, Gu Jun had no special reaction when facing the enemy with weapons in his hands.

"You also admit that you are a deserter, that's good!"

Jiang Chen saw that Gu Jun's eyes were wrong and immediately shouted: "Run away quickly, what are you doing standing still!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a knife appeared out of thin air on the chest of the ruffian. I don’t know how Gu Jun did it. He was able to snatch the knife from the opponent’s hand and pierce it through the lightning.

Guy's chest.

The remaining soldiers were frightened out of their wits and immediately pointed their swords at Gu Jun as if they were facing a powerful enemy. However, their trembling hands showed that they had no guts to engage in a life-and-death contest with others.

This is why they escaped and became lonely ghosts who could not go anywhere.
