From the military camp, twenty miles south is Jiangtou Town.
When we arrived at Jiangtou Town, the sun was already heading west.
The three of them entered the town. When the people on the road saw them, they dropped their things and ran away.
The houses on the roadside were closed one after another, and the adults picked up the children and ran away, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Sir, what's going on?"
Bai Tingting was baffled.
Wu Xiangyun looked at his attire and asked, "Do we look scary?"
Bai Tingting also felt strange and said, "Why did you run away when you saw us? Are we so ugly?"
On the street, a three-year-old child stood in the middle of the road at a loss, and started to cry while looking at Long Chen and the others.
Seeing that the child was pitiful, Wu Xiangyun got off the horse and wanted to hold the child.
Bai Tingting reminded: "Be careful!"
After following Long Chen and fighting with the secret guards, Bai Tingting was worried that this child was an assassin.
Wu Xiangyun didn't have so many thoughts. He walked over and picked up the child and coaxed: "Don't be afraid, sister is not a bad person."
Unexpectedly, the child cried harder.
"Sir, what should I do?"
Wu Xiangyun had no choice but to worry about the child.
Long Chen looked around the town. The houses were well built and there were a lot of people there, but it looked very depressed.
Especially the people in the town were like frightened birds.
Long Chen dismounted, took out a piece of meat dumpling from his body, and handed it to the child: "Would you like to eat a piece of meat dumpling?"
When the child saw the meat, he immediately stopped crying. He hugged it with both hands and began to chew it. His nose and tears stuck to the meat, but he didn't care.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
Wu Xiangyun looked at the way the child was eating, as if he hadn't eaten in several days.
The child wolfed down the food, not caring about strangers and stuffing it into his mouth as hard as he could.
belch...
Sure enough, I ate too quickly and choked.
Bai Tingting got off the horse, took out the water bag, and slowly fed the child water: "Eat slowly..."
The child took a sip of water and stuffed the remaining meat into his mouth, fearing that others would snatch it from him.
After eating the meat, the child looked at Long Chen and the others timidly, not knowing where to put his two little hands.
"Where are your parents?"
Bai Tingting asked.
The child whispered back: "They were all taken away..."
Bai Tingting understood immediately and asked, "Has your father been arrested to serve as a soldier?"
Jing Tianlie has been expanding his army, some voluntarily, but most must have been forcibly captured.
The child nodded slightly.
Long Chen felt strange. It was understandable that a man would be captured as a soldier. How could a woman be captured?
"What about your mother? Where has she gone?"
Long Chen asked softly.
The child shed tears and cried: "My mother...she was captured by bad guys."
There were many eyes looking at Long Chen and the others through the cracks in the windows and doors on the street. They seemed to be watching.
At this time, a hunchbacked old woman hobbled over with a cane and begged Long Chen and the others: "Please forgive us, sir. The child is still young and his parents have been taken away.
There is no food at home, so I beg you to be merciful."
The old woman was about to kneel down and plead while holding on to her crutches. Long Chen quickly stepped forward to support the old woman and said, "Old man, don't get me wrong. We were passing by and just wanted to take a dip in the hot springs here."
"What's going on here? Why do everyone hide when they see us? Have the people here been taken away to fight in Jade Buddha Pass?"
The old woman was relieved when she saw that Long Chen said he was not from the government.
Long Chen helped the old woman up, and the child hid behind the old woman and peeked at Long Chen.
"You are passing by, hurry up and leave, there is going to be a war here."
"My son was captured and said that the general needed soldiers."
The old woman sighed and shook her head.
Wu Xiangyun asked: "What about the child's mother? She was also caught and imprisoned in the Jade Buddha?"
Speaking of this, the old woman sighed: "No, the government came to collect military rations a few days ago, and the yamen took my daughter-in-law away because she thought she was good-looking."
The area near Jade Buddha Pass was under the jurisdiction of Jingtian Lie. When Jingtian Lie went to war, the officials here helped him recruit troops and food.
When Bai Tingting heard this, she immediately became furious and cursed: "It's another dog yameni, I'll kill him!"
The old woman was startled and quickly advised: "You can't do that, girl, that's the county magistrate's son."
Bai Tingting said angrily: "Even if I am the king of heaven, I will kill him!"
Long Chen consoled him: "Old man, I have some food here. You can take it back first."
Long Chen took out his food, and Wu Xiangyun also took out his food.
When the people on both sides saw Long Chen handing out food, they all opened the door and rushed out.
"Give me some, my son hasn't eaten for several days."
"My baby has been hungry for a few days. Please give me some."
"Give me some."
There were too many people gathered around, and the food for Long Chen and the three of them was simply not enough.
"Don't grab it, we don't have it anymore."
Wu Xiangyun was helpless.
Long Chen saw that these people were indeed hungry and looked very pitiful.
Long Chen looked back at Wu Xiangyun's horse and wanted to kill the horse and share some of its meat with everyone.
Da da da...
There was a sound of horse hooves from the north side of the road, and a group of officers and soldiers rode over. When the people saw it, they were so frightened that they all went home and closed their doors and windows.
The old woman couldn't walk fast, so Wu Xiangyun helped the old woman and the child go home.
In the blink of an eye, officers and soldiers arrived on horseback.
There were more than a dozen officers and soldiers riding horses. The leader was wearing armor and had a ring-headed sword in his hand. He looked fierce and looked like a captain of ten.
There were grains on the horses and several beautiful women who were tied up.
"Who are you?"
The ten-man captain pointed his sword at Long Chen and shouted.
Long Chen asked coldly: "Are you Jing Tianlie's subordinate?"
The captain's eyes turned cold and he scolded: "I asked you who you are!"
Long Chen sighed slightly and said, "I'm not in a good mood today, so I don't want to ask twice."
The soldier behind the captain pointed at Bai Tingting and Wu Xiangyun and said, "Boss, these two girls are so good."
The tenth captain's eyes fell on Bai Tingting and Wu Xiangyun, with a lustful expression on his face, and he laughed and said: "There are such women in this remote country, let me catch them!"
The soldiers behind them rushed out on horseback to kidnap Bai Tingting and Wu Xiangyun.
Long Chen was furious, blocking in front of the soldiers, facing the charging horses, and hit the horses' heads with his fists.
boom!
The horse's head was shattered by a punch, and the soldier on its back flew away. Long Chen stretched out his hand, grabbed the soldier in mid-air, and then slammed it to the ground.
boom!
The soldier fell on his back and was shot to death on the spot!
The law...
Long Chen's attack was too fierce, frightening the captain and his horses to retreat.
"We are the soldiers under the general's command to collect food. If you dare to take action, be careful to destroy all nine of your tribes!"
The tenth captain was frightened and quickly moved out Jing Tianlie to threaten him.
Bai Tingting cursed loudly: "Who the hell is Jing Tianlie? Do you know who this is!"
Long Chen looked at the tenth captain coldly, the blood on his fists was still dripping.
The tenth captain looked at Long Chen carefully, shook his head slightly and said, "Who are you?"
