Chapter five hundred and fiftieth IX The knight who was stripped
It's getting dark.
Brother Shan, Yang Dashan and others were walking on the way back.
"Laoba, what are you doing this afternoon?"
Yang Dashan asked.
The refugee named Lao Ba, who was in his mid-twenties, was a senior farmer in Silver Flame City. Eight times his ancestors had this profession. Hearing this, he replied, "In the afternoon, I followed the Yunmeng people's farmers to open up farmland on the saline-alkali land."
About one hundred acres of wheat fields were cultivated..."
"Opening up wheat fields now?"
"Yes, it's already deep winter. It's too late even to plant winter wheat."
"And in saline-alkali soil, even if the season is right, you can't grow wheat seedlings. It's just a waste of time. If you sow the seeds, all the seeds will be in vain..."
The other friends were very surprised when they heard it.
"That Young Master Lin, isn't he really a fool?"
Lao Qi added, "This afternoon, I was assigned to follow a guy named An Muxi to dig medicinal fields. I also dug hundreds of acres in one day. But as we all know, even wheat cannot be grown in saline-alkali soil, let alone the growing conditions.
Harsh medicinal herbs.”
"Sis, what about you? What did you do today?"
"Me? Oh, I have been transporting the loess dug out of the well all day. It is said that it is used to make bricks."
"That's not very strange..."
Everyone was talking and talking.
"By the way, tell me, are the Beichen pills that Yunmeng people gave us poisonous? If you take one pill, you will be full all day and night. Will there be any problems?"
Someone suddenly said.
Brother Shan Yang Dashan said, "There shouldn't be any problem. Didn't you see that those Yunmeng people looked proud when they talked about Beichen Pills? They themselves also took a lot of them."
"That's true..."
"It's so miraculous. You can take one pill and you won't be hungry all day and all night. It's like a magical thing. If word spreads about it, I'm afraid even the nobles in the Third City will be jealous."
“I just don’t know if the cost of preparing pills is high.”
"It's definitely not high, otherwise, Yunmeng people wouldn't be able to afford it themselves."
While a group of people were discussing, they suddenly saw the roar of large hooves in front of them.
Looking up, the expressions of several people suddenly changed. They immediately found a hidden hill and hid behind it.
Thousands of meters away, a group of black-armored troops were seen, breaking the tranquility of the night and galloping in the direction of Yunmeng's camp.
There were at least five hundred people.
Different from the rabble during the day, this is a truly elite army.
Although there was no flag and the serial numbers on his body were all torn off, even they, a group of refugees, could tell that this was probably an elite member of one of the Chaohui Army.
Seen from a distance, it looks murderous and frightening.
"Oops, it must be Chuchunlou's revenge."
"I heard that the person behind Zui Chun Tower is a powerful general in the Chaohui Guards. He has an army of ten thousand people in the Weishan tribe under his command... and dispatched a half-battalion of five hundred troops.
, of course."
"But it is illegal to mobilize the army privately to deal with one's own people."
"You know what the hell, the rules are only for us assholes..."
"Then what do we do now?"
"Yes, do you want to hurry up and report to Young Master Lin and the others?"
"Looking for death, can we outrun the speeding beast?"
"Alas, Yunmeng Camp is coming to an end."
"How about... let's go to our own camp as soon as possible?"
Everyone was a little scared.
Although he worked for a long time in the Yunmeng camp in the afternoon and was paid well, under such circumstances, it was definitely impossible to accompany the Yunmeng people to death.
Yang Dashan took a deep breath and said remotely, "Wait a minute, we are here to see the situation."
The group of people looked at the Beichen Pills in their hands and then looked at the direction of Yunmeng Camp in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in unison.
If the Yunmeng Camp did not offend the big shots in the Third City District, it would be a good place to work after all. In addition to getting food for a half-day, you could also get two Beichen Pills, take them back and mix them in the water.
If you drink it, you can definitely resist hunger for half a day.
It's a good job to make a living.
but now……
well.
If you want to blame it, it's that Young Master Lin who has a stupid idea and insists on offending Zui Chunlou.
A group of people waited eagerly behind the hill.
The temperature drops particularly quickly on winter nights.
Soon a group of people felt like they were numb from the cold.
"How about we go back? The Yunmeng camp is designated to be over... Huh?"
Halfway through what he was saying, Lao Ba suddenly stopped.
He pointed at the night in the distance and said, "Look, what is that?"
Everyone looked intently.
I saw a speeding beast galloping from the direction of Yunmeng's camp, with a knight on its back, who was the menacing unnumbered soldier from before.
But it is completely different from the scene of death with heavy armor and strong momentum.
At this time, all the clothes on the knight's body were stripped off, and he was only wearing a pair of underpants. Even in the night, you could see a hint of white. He looked panicked, desperately slapping the speeding beast on his crotch, as if trying to escape.
From time to time I look back...
In a moment, the knight rushed past and disappeared into the night in the distance.
Yang Dashan, Lao Ba and others looked at each other in confusion. They all saw the incredible look in each other's eyes.
"If... I'm not wrong, it seems that all the five hundred elites who went to find trouble were in trouble?"
"The one who escaped was probably released on purpose. Otherwise, his armor and clothes wouldn't have been stripped off... Hiss, Yunmeng Camp is so terrifying?"
"This is not a big meeting. It took only one stick of incense to come and go, and more than 500 elite Chaohui troops were wiped out like this?"
The more Yang Dashan and others thought about it, the more ridiculous they felt.
But other than this explanation, there is no other possibility.
"Let's go back to the camp quickly. We can't stay here any longer."
Yang Dashan urged, and everyone rushed towards their camp.
Chaohui's army suffered a big loss, and Yunmengren deliberately sent back a message. What a provocation. I'm afraid that something terrible might happen after nightfall.
They are just some miscellaneous fish who dare not get involved in such a big incident.
So it’s better to go home quickly first.
That night, Yang Dashan didn't sleep well.
He was always woken up by the slightest noise, and then he sat up sweating profusely. Through the gaps in the thatched hut, he saw the wilderness in the camp outside. Those wooden fences that even ordinary wild dogs couldn't stop seemed to be still there.
It would be better to stay at Yunmeng Camp where we have just settled down for two days.
He suddenly felt a little envious of Yun Mengren.
No matter what their fate is tonight, at least they have a spiritual pillar to lead the way forward, even if this spiritual pillar seems to be abnormal.
"I hope I can still see Yunmeng Camp when I go there tomorrow."
Yang Dashan looked at his wife, who was sleeping huddled up with three children next to him, covered with hay, and a trace of judgment flashed in his eyes.
When she was eighteen years old, she was a famous beauty in the small town, but she finally chose to marry the taciturn man.
In the past ten years, he has been busy outside, virtuous and open-minded, supporting the family and giving birth to two sons and a daughter.
We have moved forward together in these ten years, sharing weal and woe.
Even when the escape was the most difficult and dangerous, it was her several desperate efforts to inspire him and his children, so that the whole family could come to Zhaohui City alive and reunited.
She and the child are his courage and motivation to live.
No matter what, no matter what the cost, he would protect them and keep them well-fed so that they would no longer suffer from cold or hunger.
Yang Dashan decided that he must go to Yunmeng Camp to have another look tomorrow morning.
If Yunmeng Camp had not been destroyed, he would have continued to work there.
There was something inexplicable in that camp that attracted him deeply.
