Earthquake disaster grain and earthquake disaster silver shipped to various places in the south have disappeared twice. Not only the silver grain has disappeared, but also the people who transported the silver grain have disappeared with them.
The year before last, a new sect called the Holy Sect was established in the south. It used the slogan of a divine messenger to pray for the people and went around doing evil. All the members of the sect showed off their faces with white faces, and the people called it the White Ghost Sect.
Mainly active in Jingcheng, Jiangcheng, Haicheng and Bacheng.
In the first half of last year, white ghost filial piety was still not a thing. According to the memorials submitted to Beijing in the four cities, only small groups of ghost-faced sect members occasionally came out to cause trouble, and they were all wiped out by the government after the trouble.
It's just that one team was wiped out and another team came after a while, and the government couldn't do anything about them.
For this reason, the imperial court has sent many soldiers to suppress and strangle them, but these people are really good at hiding. To this day, the imperial court does not know where the real base of the White Ghost Sect is.
Since the second half of last year, due to the increasingly serious disasters in the south, more and more victims, the emergence of plague, and the failure of some officials to act, etc., the White Ghost Sect has become more and more rampant, and its number of people has also increased.
Come more and more.
What used to be a small fight turned into an attack on the government office, killing the official of the court, and robbing the earthquake disaster silver grain issued by the court.
The reason why the emperor asked Qi Baoer to be the disaster messenger this time was because the emperor really had no other choice.
Because the previous batch of earthquake supplies had disappeared, the emperor, who was in charge of the previous batch of earthquake supplies, had sent capable generals to escort him. Their military exploits and abilities were second only to Zhao Dexuan’s Qi.
General.
But the result was the same. Not only was the earthquake money and food gone, but General Qi and the three thousand elites he led were also missing.
It was impossible to confirm whether they were dead or not. On the road from Yangliu Town in Jiangcheng to Mei'an Town in Haicheng, all of them mysteriously disappeared, including the people and the earthquake disaster money and grain, and no bodies could be found.
General Qi is missing. The only military commander that can be called upon by the court is Zhao Dexuan who is idle at home. But now Zhao Dexuan is not to mention leading the army to transport disaster relief supplies. Let him ride for half an hour.
The horse has to lie down.
Just like that, the emperor's unscrupulous old man turned his mind to Qi Bao'er.
Qi Bao'er's age is no longer important to the emperor. She can teach military body boxing, can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Shadowless Army without any injuries, and can paralyze the headless zombie with her fists. Her strength is already far away.
Above Zhao Dexuan.
As for his ability to lead troops, didn't he mention Qi Kang'an?
The emperor knew that the father and daughter were leading the escape route in Qijia Village. He heard that all the people in Qijia Village were now soldiers.
The leader said that he gave all the four hundred people from Fang Qi to Qi Kang'an. Qi Kang'an didn't understand it himself, but there were people around him who taught him. It was a good opportunity to grow up and support An Le in the future.
Qi Kang'an: "Although the White Ghost Sect members mainly operate in the Jiangcheng and Haicheng areas, starting from Jingcheng, we should be more careful."
"Now we have absolutely no idea how many members there are in the White Ghost Sect? Who is their leader? Where is he hiding? Is there any collusion with officials from the DPRK and China?"
Prince Li clenched his fist: "Earthquake disaster food must be delivered, and the White Ghost Sect must be destroyed."
Although Prince Li is the second king, Qi Kang'an agrees with this point of view: "The amount of silver grain we transported this time is huge. It has now reached several thousand carts. There are also a thousand carts of grain and a thousand carts of medicinal materials in Jingcheng. It is so huge.
Our team will definitely attract people from the White Ghost Cult."
In other words, it is certain that they will confront the White Ghost Sect.
Qi Bao'er crossed his legs and propped his chin, his face silent, and said in a leisurely tone: "Dad, Prince Li, our task this time is very difficult."
Disaster victims are rampant, plagues are rampant, bandits are rampant, and there is also a White Ghost Sect that claims to be a holy religion!!
Playing games and passing levels is easier than this.
Prince Li's face turned into bitter gourd, "Sister Bao, can we come out one by one?"
Both his father and mother said that if this trip goes well, it will be a great achievement, and it will be a great help for him to enter the household department.
But none of them said that this was a journey with a narrow escape from death.
The father and daughter were both happy when they looked at Prince Li, who had a miserable look on his face. Needless to say, as soon as he made a cross, the solemn atmosphere immediately disappeared.
The team moved slowly, and it took half a day to cover a distance of about twenty kilometers.
Qi Kangan asked the team to stop and rest where they were, and started cooking rice.
The people escorting the earthquake-disaster food supplies were all group leaders. In Youcheng, these people had been trained to cook big pots of rice. As soon as the team stopped, they immediately set up big pots one by one. Soon, the aroma of food was wafting within a few hundred meters of Fangyuan.
Qi Kang'an deliberately chose the location. They were at a big bend on the mountain road, with the food transport team at the top of the bend and the convict team at the bottom of the bend.
As long as they stand on the roadside and look down, they can catch the entire team of prisoners. On the contrary, the prisoners can't see them when they look up.
The meal was not ready yet, and while he was waiting, it was the first time for King Li to ride a horse for such a long time. The inside of his thighs were so painful that he ran to rest.
Qi Kangan and his daughter ran to the side of the road to 'observe' the refugees below.
The first lunar month has not yet passed, and the weather is still freezing. However, all the refugees are wearing very thin clothes. It is so cold that they are either huddled together to keep warm, or they are walking around to keep themselves warm after resting.
"Dad, didn't you put food for them?"
She didn't see anyone lighting a fire to cook.
No matter what the reason was, Qi Kang'an had already received the assignment to escort the refugees. He was afraid that he would embarrass his daughter if he did it, so he spent the whole day yesterday to learn about everything related to the exile.
"The government officials are on the road, so they don't make fires to cook on the road. They always bring ready-made food with them.
The route for escorting refugees has been fixed before departure. There will be post stations at a certain distance along the way. The yamen will take the prisoners to the post station before the food they bring is finished, and then prepare dry food for the next section of the journey at the post station to take away.
.”
"But they didn't distribute dry food to the refugees?" Don't you mean to try their best to send all the refugees to Lingnan?
Are you going to be hungry without food this first day?
Qi Kang'an's face was calm and indifferent and said: "Remember seeing off relatives at the city gate? The prisoners who have relatives to see them off will either have money or food in their hands at this time. The Yamen will not let the prisoners eat too much, but they want to
Earn money from the prisoners."
Oh~
Qibaoer understands.
The prisoners will have enough energy when they are well fed. Compared with the large number of prisoners, if the prisoners are allowed to maintain their physical strength, the government officials will definitely suffer a loss once they riot or want to escape.
So if you don’t have enough food, you’re hungry but you can’t die. If you don’t have the energy, how can you run or get violent?
If you don't give food today, you are wasting the food in the hands of the prisoners.
And people with money in their pockets will naturally spend money to buy food from the government officials when they are too hungry.
Qi Kang'an added: "They also prepared two carts full of winter clothes and water bags."
Qi Baoer: Li, awesome!
It is true that one black is higher than the other.
With the advice from his biological father, Qi Baoer looked down/looked more carefully this time.
