"What happened?" Mrs. Tian trotted over anxiously.
The people walking behind suddenly got cut off at the corner. They felt strange and wanted to look back to see what was going on.
Just when Anzi came back, after hearing what they said, his expression suddenly changed and he sternly told them to wait where they were and not move.
I should have been relieved to see them slowly following up now, but when I looked at each of them, they looked like dead relatives, or as if they had seen a ghost in the middle of the night. There were also many young wives and girls whose eyes were swollen from crying. Mrs. Tian
My heart picked up again.
"fine."
Old man Qi forced a smile, looked up and asked, "Why don't you leave? Please don't stop."
The mountain road is narrow and can only accommodate one cart at a time. If there are only one or two people walking next to it, the team will move slowly and the team will be very long.
They were in the middle of the team at the moment, and they could really see no end of the fire ahead and no end of the fire behind them.
After being married for decades, how could Old Mrs. Tian not realize that Old Man Qi didn't want her to know, at least at this moment.
He didn't insist, but said along the way: "It's not that you haven't followed, so I'll turn around and let them go."
Mrs. Tian turned around and left, circling left and right with her little feet. After a while, the grandfather and grandson lost sight of her.
Old man Qi also carried Qi Bao'er and continued to walk forward. They were not riding horses at the moment, and the roads were so small that the horses could not jump over the cart in front and jump in line. Old man Qi kept Qi Kangfu behind and led the two horses.
Everyone was grateful when they saw that their grandfather and grandson had left a space for them to go, and the car was packed with good things.
They all remembered to keep quiet and just gave them big smiles.
This is a major advantage of the family. They have a stronger ability to execute the words and orders given by their trusted elders in the family.
Old Qi is senior enough, and all the villagers in Lao Qi's family are now trustworthy, as evidenced by the things on the cart. The most important thing is that there is a god in Lao Qi's family.
So they listen to the old man Qi, and they also listen to the eldest son Qi Kangan.
Old Man Qi's face was numb with laughter, and he almost knocked his head off before he returned to the embrace of Old Qi's family at the front of the team.
Looking at Qi Bao'er again, he slept on Qi Bao'er's shoulder the whole time, feeling so groggy.
Just by looking at how sweet she is and thinking about what happened just now, you can see how deep this guy's heart is.
"Bao'er is sleeping?"
Qi Kang'an came over and took Qi Bao'er. Qi Bao'er was startled and his eyes narrowed slightly and he opened them slightly, only to see that his silly father closed them again.
"Go to sleep, dad is here." The rough man's voice was so soft that it was too soft to be true, and his big hands like cattail fans patted the girl's back regularly.
Old man Qi raised his head to signal Qi Kang'an to follow him, and he took the first step towards the front of the team.
Qi Kangfu, who was "very discerning", held up a torch and followed suit. He said: He wanted to light the way for his father and eldest brother.
Old man Qi, who was walking in front, didn't speak for a long time. Qi Kang'an followed silently, holding the sleeping Qi Bao'er in his arms.
He didn't know what happened next, but he had a feeling in his heart that something was going to be bad.
Now judging from Dad's reaction, this hunch must have come true.
It was the old man Qi who spoke first, and he let out a long sigh.
"We were still on the slope, and the soldiers arrived at Sanhe Town. Bao'er quickly asked us to put out the torches, and everyone was hiding quietly, not daring to move or make a sound.
The soldiers stopped outside the south gate of Sanhe Town for about an hour. Bao'er saw a group of soldiers going to the Wu Mansion. Bao'er said that he visually estimated that there were about two thousand people in that group of soldiers.
Those soldiers did not stay in the town for long, and then went back along the official road."
Qi Kang'an also tensed up and asked, "Approximately how many people are there in total?"
"A lot, at least about 20,000."
Old man Qi didn't say that he felt he smelled blood, nor did he say that someone vaguely heard screams.
But without him having to say it, Qi Kang'an could already think of it.
But what he didn't expect was that they still underestimated the cruelty of those people.
Qi Bao'er, who was lying on his shoulder, slowly said four words as if half asleep: "Kill the good and take the credit."
"Impossible." Qi Kangan's eyes were red and he instinctively retorted.
The earliest battlefield merit calculations in Qilin Kingdom were indeed based on heads. But later, after the emergence of the God-man, the army added an official position - the Records Department, with a fellow captain.
They have a strong memory and are protected by special personnel. They only obey the emperor's orders and travel on the battlefield to record everyone's achievements.
We no longer rely on human heads to calculate military merit, so how can we talk about killing good people and taking advantage of merit?
As for Old Man Qi, he felt that his body had stiffened and his legs were numb as he walked forward.
After taking a few steps forward, he suddenly stopped and turned his head slowly and mechanically towards Qi Kang'an.
"Anzi, what if there is no one in General Liu's army who can record military achievements?"
What if they still record military achievements in the old way?
Qi Kang'an smiled uglier than crying, and suddenly patted Qi Bao'er's little butt.
"You must have collected all the things hidden in the boss's room. I went to take a look later. My dear, you really collected them cleanly. You didn't even leave a table or chair."
Good guy, he thought he had entered the wrong room as soon as he walked in. It was so empty that there was nothing but the walls.
His daughter didn't even know how to lift the tiles on the floor.
Qi Bao'er got up, slapped her father's arm unhappily, and then sat down on her father's arm.
He counted them one by one with his fingers: "Tables and chairs, mahogany, antique shelves, pear blossoms. The ornaments and bottles on the shelves are either very expensive or good things."
Dad, I doubt that concubine's brother and they thought of some way to make these people leave in a hurry. I also found a hidden compartment at the end of the bed and found a five hundred tael of silver notes from there. If they hadn't been in a hurry, they wouldn't have been in a hurry.
I don’t even have any banknotes with me, five hundred taels is not a small amount.”
"How much?" Qi Kang'an picked his ears.
"Five hundred taels." You heard it right, they made it.
Qi Kang'an put his thumb in his mouth and began to chew on his nails, with a dazed look on his face.
The old man Qi next to him had already forgotten what they were talking about just now. He opened his mouth in shock and his jaw dropped to the ground.
Qi Bao'er took out a pear and stuffed it into her father's hand, "Eat it, Dad."
Nail biting, what a hobby.
The black shadow on a tree high up looked at them in confusion and speechlessness. The channel change was too sudden. Wasn't it just about killing good people and taking merit?
Qi Kang'an bit into the pear with a stupefied expression, biting into the pear core one after another, without changing his expression.
Qi Baoer: "..."
He turned around and handed me a pear. Old man Qi took it but didn't eat it himself. Instead, he passed it to Qi Kangfu who was holding a torch.
Qi Kangfu was also so shocked by the five hundred taels that he was out of his mind. Like Qi Kangan, he took it and gnawed it without even looking at what it was.
Qi Baoer handed another one to me. This time, old man Qi took it and ate it calmly.
Your father is still your father. In terms of determination, her father and second uncle cannot compare to him.
