Drugs were given to the wounded in the caravan, and the seriously injured were carried into the carriage and treated by Xiaoruo.
They were said to be seriously injured, but they were actually broken bones. Xiaoruo chose a few thin wooden boards to tie them up to shape, and then fed them the pills that Chuan made intermittently, which was regarded as preliminary treatment.
The two who died were wrapped in mats and placed in the last carriage, and they were taken back to Qinzhou by someone in the next town, where the fallen leaves returned to their roots.
After the caravan was repaired and arranged, the sky was already a deep dark blue.
"It's getting dark and we can't drive, so let's camp in the same place? Hey, are there other bandits here besides you?"
As Zhai Er spoke, he kicked the short and skinny bandit who was tied up into rice dumplings with his toe.
"No, no more..."
The short and thin bandits were crying. They had gathered here to rob passers-by for several months, and it was the first time they kicked the iron plate and were killed.
Jiang Ping threw the last bundle of captured bandit weapons into the carriage, and said, "Well, tell the brothers to rest at the same place tonight, and go on the road tomorrow!"
He pointed to the vigil that he often arranged with his brothers tonight.
"Qi Lao Wu, Xiang Yiqing, Zhai Er, Xiao Xun and I guard the first half of the night, while Ma Lao San, Li Wu, Tong Zi, and Akun follow Escort Ran for the second half of the night."
Ran Zhongren clicked his tongue, but didn't say anything.
He cast a gloomy glance at the bandits who were tied together, and said to Jiang Ping, "Then what should we do with them?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jiang Ping to answer, he laughed to himself: "Hey, it's better to kill them all, so as to save trouble."
There is a distorted pleasure in the smile, which makes people know that he is not just talking, but really wants to kill him.
The short and thin bandit screamed in fright: "You can't kill me! You can't kill me! I'm a soldier!"
The twenty or so people who were tied up next to him also shouted: "Yes! We are soldiers! The law stipulates that civilians cannot kill soldiers!"
Those who shouted were the people who had listened to the whistle command to besiege Jiang Ping.
Hearing what they said, bodyguards, you look at me, I look at you, and there is no movement for a while.
Ran Zhongren was also taken aback, his face changed color.
If these people are not lying, they are really making up soldiers, and fighting with soldiers is a felony in this world.
Jiang Ping was the first to react. He walked up to the short, skinny bandit, picked up a broken tree branch and opened his skirt.
"Hey, who are you bluffing, you dare to call yourself a soldier if you don't wear fish scale armor, and don't wear climbing arms?"
The bodyguards gathered around and tore off the skirts of the other shouting bandits, as expected, they were all only wearing civilian clothes.
"Mr. Ge! Miscellaneous rats dare to lie to grandpa! I will slice you up today and have some barbecue later!" Ran Zhongren was about to draw a knife in a rage.
The short, skinny bandit twisted his body, pointed his hips and shouted in a sharp voice: "I have a negative badge! A negative badge!"
The negative badge is a wooden sign with the soldier's name, troops, and family members recorded on it. If the soldier dies in battle, he can be identified based on this, so that it can be recorded and sent to his hometown.
I touched it from his waist, and there was indeed a blackened wooden sign.
The wooden sign is engraved with "Chu Wenyou, the second fire of Feijianying, a native of Caoxi County".
Similar negative badges were also found on other bandits. Among the 76 surviving bandits, there were 24 soldiers!
Under Ran Zhongren's fierce eyes, the short and thin bandit explained the whole story while crying.
It turned out that they were originally soldiers stationed in Monan. The old general who led them suddenly asked the emperor to resign more than a year ago, saying that he was going to return to the field. The emperor also approved it and appointed a new general about 20 years old to take over .
The new general is arrogant, and he wants to show his power to the barbarians outside the pass as soon as he arrives.
The three-day war at both ends made the people below miserable, and even the people at the border had a hard time. All the businesses doing business at the border ran away, for fear that they would be stabbed to death by a knife and gun without eyes.
They belonged to the Flying Arrow Battalion, and they would be the first to go to the battle, using arrows to clear the way for the infantry, often without sleep all night, and worrying about their own lives.
After a few months, Chu Wenyou couldn't go on.
He has a brain, and usually gives his brothers crooked ideas, and everyone is willing to listen to him.
So he encouraged 24 brothers from the Second Fire of Feijian Camp where he was, and escaped from the barracks on a dark and windy night.
After they escaped from Monan, they started to rob houses. The north was so poor, and they decided to flee all the way south when they found that they couldn't get any money.
Along the way, many refugees who also fled south were recruited. They only wanted men and not women, and they specifically looked for places like today's road in the middle of the dense forest on both sides, and became bandits.
"It turned out to be a deserter, so I said why the bandits have arrows."
Jiang Ping threw the negative badge back on Chu Wenyou, clapped his hands and said to Ran Zhongren: "Boss Ran, deserters are also soldiers, we can't deal with them privately, wait until the next city, and hand them over to the officials."
Ran Zhongren snorted through his nostrils, agreeing.
The sky was already as dark as ink, everyone tied up the carriage, set up several bonfires, warmed up some dry food to fill their stomachs, and the caravan guys and coachmen went back to sleep in the carriage.
The bodyguards were on duty to watch the night according to Jiang Ping's arrangement.
Qi Laowu, Xiang Yiqing, Zhai Er, Xiaoxun and Jiang Ping sat around the largest bonfire and warmed up.
The air is chilly on a moonlit night, sitting by the fire and looking up at the stars in the sky is also a special taste.
Everyone gradually fell into a dreamland, and the five people on the night watch used gossiping to drive away their sleepiness.
Jiang Ping has been holding back his words since the daytime. He looked at Xiaoxun next to him with his arms around his chest, and he hesitated to speak.
Xiao Xun also noticed Jiang Ping's abnormality, and asked, "Brother Jiang, do you have something to ask me?"
He asked the question directly, but Jiang Ping was a little hesitant. After taking a deep breath of the cold night wind, he considered his words and said, "Brother Xiao, didn't you feel anything unusual this afternoon?"
Xiao Xun was puzzled, but still looked at Jiang Ping with deep eyes.
"That's... that time when I told you to be careful, didn't you feel something behind you?" Jiang Ping continued to ask.
Thinking carefully about what happened during the day, Xiaoxun suddenly thought of the scorched black circular ground and the charcoal handprint.
He didn't mention this to Jiang Ping, but said lightly: "At that time, there seemed to be a heat wave behind, but it was fleeting, and I didn't see anything strange when I looked back."
Jiang Ping slapped his thigh and shouted under his breath, "That's it! You didn't see it with your back turned. I just watched."
He glanced vigilantly at the deserted soldiers and refugees who were bundled together, and continued to say in a low voice, "Did you know that someone touched your back at that time, and was about to take a knife and cut you down."
"But in an instant, that person was swallowed by the flames, and the flames immediately turned blue, and then wrapped around that person and disappeared!"
"A living person, suddenly disappeared! Do you think this is haunted?"
They were said to be seriously injured, but they were actually broken bones. Xiaoruo chose a few thin wooden boards to tie them up to shape, and then fed them the pills that Chuan made intermittently, which was regarded as preliminary treatment.
The two who died were wrapped in mats and placed in the last carriage, and they were taken back to Qinzhou by someone in the next town, where the fallen leaves returned to their roots.
