Before exile, the imperial concubine emptied the palace

Chapter 204 What is the purpose?
Lin Xiaoyue froze for a moment, and exchanged a glance with Gu Mian.

Gu Mian vigorously shook his head at Lin Xiaoyue, signaling her not to follow the little boy.

Lin Xiaoyue knew in her heart that at this critical moment, she must not hold back everyone. She smiled and said to the little boy: "I'm afraid it won't work, because my sister has other things to do here."

Seeing Lin Xiaoyue's insistence, the little boy had no choice but to compromise and said, "That's fine. But when will you finish your work, sister? I want to bring food to my sister, otherwise she will be hungry at night."

Lin Xiaoyue replied: "They will come back before dark, when they come back, how about we go pick up your sister together?"

The little boy hesitated to speak, and was about to speak when a tall figure crushed him. He trembled in fear, and asked, "Brother, how are you?"

Gu Mian just felt that this child was abnormal, and the conditions were raised more and more, so he couldn't be an undercover agent, right?

"Why are you shaking? I will eat you? You won't feel guilty, will you?"

The little boy shook his head repeatedly, and explained: "No! I didn't notice you coming, big brother, so I was taken aback by your shadow."

Gu Mian snorted coldly, and warned: "Don't play tricks! Miss Lin is willing to take you with her because she has a kind heart. It doesn't mean you can keep asking!"

The little boy held back his face, his face was flushed, and he said after a while: "Yes, I understand."

Lin Xiaoyue patted the little boy's back lightly and asked, "By the way, I don't know your name yet. Where are you from?"

The little boy turned around and replied obediently: "My name is Lai Yu, and my sister is Lai Mei. Our hometown is Jiacheng, the most northwest of Dongsui Kingdom. There was a famine there, and many people starved to death. Leave us the food, and they died too. My sister and I had nowhere to go, so we came here begging along with everyone."

Lin Xiaoyue observed this little boy carefully. Although he was dirty and thin, he didn't look sallow and emaciated. It didn't seem like he didn't eat anything!

"Then are all the people in your village in that ruined temple?" Lin Xiaoyue asked curiously again.

The little boy nodded and replied: "Yes. They still want to go back to Jiacheng, so they don't want to go to war with you."

Lin Xiaoyue looked up at Gu Mian, only to see Gu Mian pointing at the child in front of him and waving his hand, his face full of disbelief, this time Lin Xiaoyue also fell into deep thought.

It's really no wonder Gu Mian is suspicious, now even he suspects that there is something wrong with this child, when everyone is here, he must find out what the hell is wrong with this child!

The afternoon passed by in a flash. Seeing the darkening sky, Lin Xiaoyue's face became anxious. Could it be that she made a mistake?Or is it that they can't recruit people and dare not come back?
Gu Mian couldn't stand anymore, he paced back and forth cursingly, "Why don't you come? It's almost dark! Damn, why didn't you take the money and run away? Sigh! It's really not a thing. If I catch them, I will break their legs!"

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyue found that her hands were grabbed by a pair of Hei Qiuqiu's hands. She turned to look at the little boy named Laiyu, and asked, "What's wrong? Laiyu."

Lai Yu excitedly pointed to the crowd on the right and said, "Here we come! I recognize those brothers from the ruined temple!"

Lin Xiaoyue raised her head and looked into the distance. Sure enough, there was a group of beggars walking towards here. Unexpectedly, beggars were faster to find someone, but Xue Shichang couldn't recruit everyone, right?
"Mr. Gu, after a while you count the number of people and give them money!" Lin Xiaoyue urged.

Gu Mian nodded, pointed at the other half of the crowd, and said with a smile: "Look over there! No one will come when you don't come, and come together if you come! Count the number of people on Xue Shichang's side, Let's split up and go back as soon as possible!"

Lin Xiaoyue stood up and said, "Okay! I'll count the number of people over there."

At this time, Xue Shichang had already arrived with his people. He was in a hurry, panting heavily when standing in front of Lin Xiaoyue, "Girl, I'm sorry, I'm late! There are two hundred and five here, I ran two Only three villages are recruited."

Lin Xiaoyue waved her hand and said, "No problem! Just recruit enough people, I'll count the number first!"

So, she counted the number of people as she walked, and she didn't stop until the last one. "There are really two hundred and five! You did a good job!"

Xue Shichang scratched his head naively, and said embarrassedly: "This money? I told them that you will give it today."

Lin Xiaoyue was actually ready for a long time. She turned her back, put the money bag in Xue Shichang's hand, and said, "Here is the money I promised to give you before, and I will send it to them now!"

Xue Shichang said happily: "Thank you girl! I'll go and tell my wife and I'll be back!"

Lin Xiaoyue nodded, and she said to the rest of the people: "As long as you are willing to follow us to fight, I will send you money now! If you still hesitate, you can stand up first, and you can't go back on your word after taking the money and stamping your fingerprints." Already!"

Two hundred and five people responded in unison: "We are willing!"

Lin Xiaoyue nodded in satisfaction, took out a pen and paper, and said, "You all line up to get the money, and there will be no less money, so you can rest assured to line up!"

There were really a lot of people, and Xue Shichang came late, before signing a few, it was completely dark.

Fortunately, Xue Shichang and his wife came in time and took out the only kerosene lamp at home.

Lin Xiaoyue and Gu Mian were struggling to share a kerosene lamp, and it was not until the second watch struck that everyone's money was distributed.

Gu Mian put away the thick stack of contracts, and asked Lin Xiaoyue, "So many people, where should we send them?"

Lin Xiaoyue pointed in the direction of the city gate and said, "Go to the city gate! Brother Liang should have gone there too! Everyone follow us!"

Gu Mian followed closely to protect Lin Xiaoyue's safety.

It is very eye-catching that so many people are walking towards the gate of the city. Liang Jingyao, who was at the gate of the city, heard the news, and he quickly went down the tower to meet Lin Xiaoyue.

However, seeing the city gate getting closer and closer, Lai Yu dragged Lin Xiaoyue unwilling to leave.

Lin Xiaoyue said anxiously: "Laiyu, wait a little longer, these big brothers haven't eaten yet! We'll be there soon!"

Laiyu started to cry uncharacteristically, "You lied! Just now you said to take me to see my sister, but now you tell me to wait, are you trying to trick me to go somewhere else! Don't think that you just gave me the money It's gone! I won't go with you, I want to go back!"

These words hit the hearts of everyone who surrounded her clearly, and everyone looked at Lin Xiaoyue suspiciously.

An angry look appeared on Lin Xiaoyue's face, it seemed that this kid was here to make trouble!

What is the purpose of this Laiyu?
