My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 859 Is it worth it? Does it matter? Rush to help Dongxiaoli!

Under the leadership of Ying Chengjiao, the passion and enthusiasm of all the young men in Zheng County were mobilized.

Even some old men in their sixties and children in their teens took the initiative to follow the young men, helping to carry rubble, rescue supplies or carry the wounded to the camp.

Although deadly aftershocks still occur from time to time in Zheng County.

But nearly 10,000 people, led by Ying Chengjiao, have declared war on Huangquan!

On the other side, twenty search and rescue teams were also struggling to move towards their respective goals along twenty routes.

Looking at the mountain road in front of him that was completely blocked by rocks, Minister Feng Jie threw the corn on his shoulder to the ground and said with heavy breathing, "Minister Su, there is no way forward!"

Su Jiao looked up at the towering stone pestle with an extremely solemn expression.

The top of the mountain on the east side collapsed under the impact of the earthquake, and a pile of rocks as high as seven meters was piled up on the road that originally led to Dongxiaoli.

Not to mention that this pile of rocks is difficult to climb.

If aftershocks occur again, the stone pestle is likely to shake and roll down again, killing all those climbing on it!

But should we just give up like this?

Su Jiao shouted solemnly: "Everyone disperse and find your own way."

"The people of Qin who suffered from the disaster are waiting for me, and Chang'an Jun is also waiting for me."

"Even if it takes a hundred miles, we must bypass this place and complete the general's order!"

The guards couldn't help but feel dissatisfied and fearful.

But facing Su Jiao's orders, they could only put down the carrying poles on their shoulders and go in all directions.

When the sun rose again, a local man finally shouted excitedly: "Minister Su, I have found a possible way to go!"

Su Jiao couldn't help showing joy on his face, and he said repeatedly: "Take me to see it quickly!"

Spreading his long legs, Su Jiao followed the strong man and ran towards the west at big strides.

After running for six miles, the strong man finally pointed ahead and said, "Minister Su, look, this road may be wide enough for us to pass!"

Following the guard's gesture, Su Jiao's gaze moved forward and he saw a high mountain.

On the mountains, most of the trees had fallen down, and from time to time a big tree would roll down the hillside.

But the east side of the mountain is relatively flat and is not covered by the rubble of another mountain.

Su Jiao asked solemnly, "Have you ever walked this road?"

The young man shook his head and said with embarrassment: "On weekdays, there is a valley road, and we will go to Dongxiaoli through the valley road. There is really no need to deliberately look for a dangerous road to pass."

"I just remembered that the north side of this hill should also be a gentle slope, so I thought this road would work."

"But I am not sure whether this path is feasible."

This is a road that is not necessarily accessible.

But it is the only road within a radius of more than ten miles that may lead to Dongxiaoli!

After spreading out the Kunyu map and examining it carefully, Su Jiao raised his head, looked at Feng Jie with a firm gaze and said, "Divide the troops!"

"Minister Feng, please lead the remaining men and guards to continue looking for a safer road."

"If my troops can successfully pass through this road and enter Dongxiaoli, I will light a signal smoke to inform Minister Feng of the message. Please lead your troops to join forces with me."

"If my troops are killed on this road, I will do my best to light the grass and trees to start a big fire as a warning before I die. Please stay away from this mountain, Minister Feng."

"If Minister Feng finds a smooth path, please light a signal smoke signal to inform our troops, and then immediately go to Dongxiaoli to rescue the victims!"

Feng Jie's face was filled with unconcealed worry: "No!"

"Just by looking at the grass and trees here, you can tell that no one has ever walked this road."

"And this place is very close to the place where the mountains collapsed. Once the earth dragon turns over again, the mountains here are likely to collapse as well."

"If Minister Su really chooses this route, he will not only encounter dangers but may also return empty-handed!"

Su Jiao nodded in understanding and said, "That's why I ordered me to divide the troops into two groups."

"In this way, even if my troops are wiped out, Minister Feng's troops can be preserved and Lord Chang'an's orders can be fulfilled!"

Feng Jie's eyes were filled with disbelief, and he persuaded more sincerely: "The food we brought is enough for us to eat for ten days!"

"There is no need for us to rush. We can slowly look for a smooth path around here!"

"Why would Minister Su take such a big risk?"

In Feng Jie's opinion, those who live in the countryside must be ordinary people, while Su Jiao, Feng Jie and others are all pillars of the Qin Dynasty with noble status.

Now, these people of noble status are willing to go deep into dangerous places to help these people, and are willing to send them food and tools when these people have no merit. This is already outrageous. How can they pay a greater price for these people? !
Even if the lives of all the people in Dongxiaoli were tied together, they would not be as precious as Su Jiao's arm!

Su Jiao said without hesitation: "The food is not only for our army, but also for the disaster victims!"

"We can wait, but the victims can't!"

"If the victims are left waiting in vain, what is the point of your going deep into the earth where the dragon is turning over?!"

Feng Quji shook his head repeatedly and said, "It's not worth it!"

"Those disaster victims are really not worth the risk for Minister Su!"

Standing up straight, Su Jiao said in a deep voice: "Is it important whether it's worth it or not?"

"Your Majesty has all the Qin people in his heart, and is willing to take risks for the Qin people who have suffered from the disaster." "I don't understand what your Majesty is thinking, but I am willing to risk my life to fulfill your thoughts!"

"Minister Feng, there is no need to persuade me any further!"

"I have made up my mind!"

In Su Jiao's opinion, nothing is worth it.

As long as Ying Chengjiao has decided on something, it is worth his doing everything he can to complete it!

Looking at Su Jiao's determined eyes, Feng Jie was unable to say more words of persuasion. He could only sigh and bow, "I only hope that Minister Su is safe and sound!"

Su Jiao also bowed and then shouted loudly: "Follow me up the mountain!"

With shouts, Su Jiao was the first to step onto the hillside, and used the sword in his hand to cut through the thorns and bushes.

Zhou Qingchen and several other ministers stood there with frowns on their faces, their eyes full of reluctance.

However, the eyes of the men in Zheng County were slightly red, and they took the initiative to follow Su Jiao. Some of them even bravely blocked their bodies in front of Su Jiao, turned around and said with a smile that seemed to be crying: "Minister Su, you should take a rest!"

"Yes, Minister Su, you are the minister beside the king, a noble! You should let us do these rough and tiring jobs!"

"Minister Su, the extra grandfather lives in Dongxiaoli. Regardless of whether I can rescue the extra grandfather or not, you are the lifelong benefactor of our family!"

Su Jiao kicked the strong man who was blocking his way away and shouted with laughter: "You pig's balls!"

"Although I am a minister, I am also from the countryside. How can my ability to overcome difficulties be inferior to yours?"

"Fathers! Please use as much strength as you can. The fathers and mothers of Dongxiaoli are waiting for us!"

While shouting, Su Jiao did not stop, and swung the sword that had drunk the blood of countless enemies again towards the grass and trees in front of him.

Seeing Su Jiao like this, the able-bodied men in Zheng County stopped trying to persuade him, but just silently put in all their strength!

Four assistant ministers, a hundred guards, and two hundred and fifty able-bodied men took turns to lead the way and march forward without stopping for a moment.

at last.

A faint sound of sorrow and grief reached Su Jiao's ears.

"Baby! Oh my baby!"

Su Jiao suddenly looked up and raised his right hand.

The group of able-bodied guards behind him hurriedly stopped what they were doing and looked at Su Jiao in confusion.

Su Jiao listened for a moment and then shouted excitedly, "There is a voice in the southeast!"

"We are not far from the disaster victims!"

"Fathers and elders, please work harder! Then you and I can rest in Dongxiaoli!"

Hope was just around the corner, and all the able-bodied guards were even more motivated, shouting in unison: "Yes!"

When the mountain swallowed the sun and dusk fell, as Su Jiao used his already bent sword to cut off another cluster of thorns, a shadowy figure finally appeared in front of Su Jiao!
Su Jiao quickly slashed several times with his sword, and then shouted loudly: "Dongxiaoli is just ahead!"

"Burn the smoke!"

"Raise the flag!"

"Fathers, try harder!"

The swords in their hands danced quickly, and the able-bodied guards cheered loudly in the direction of Dongxiaoli. Everyone's enthusiasm returned to its peak again.

But they did not realize that even though they made a noise that could not be ignored, the crowd gathered outside Dongxiaoli did not come towards them at all.

Without any support, it took Su Jiao's troops another half hour to finally get out of the mountains.

Looking at the group of villagers in the distance, all men, women, old and young, holding swords, spears and sticks, silent and alert, Su Jiao sighed softly and ordered in a deep voice: "Raise the fire!"

Torches were lit one after another, making the flag behind Su Jiao even redder.

The villagers of Dongxiaoli took a few steps back unconsciously. Only an old man took the initiative to step out, tremblingly walked towards Su Jiao, and bowed and flattered: "I am Zheng Chen, the head of Dongxiaoli."

"To be honest with you, my name is Dong Xiao..."

Before Zheng Chen could finish, Su Jiao shouted, "Unload the grain!"

Zheng Chen's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but his expression became more flattering and miserable: "Shangguan! If my Dongxiaoli has food, I will definitely present it to you, but..."

Before Zheng Chen could finish his words, the strong men behind Su Jiao threw the food they had carried all the way to the ground.

"Oh!"

The heavy sound of the bamboo basket hitting the ground replaced the coldness in Zheng Chen's eyes with deep surprise.

Didn’t you ask me to unload the grain in Dongxiaoli?
Why did you guys throw this full basket of grain on the ground? !
Su Jiao then bowed and shouted, "Su Jiao, the deputy minister, and first-term graduate of the military academy of the Great Qin, is ordered by the Great Qin Chang'an Lord to lead the Great Qin minister, guards, and able-bodied men of Zheng County to come to Dongxiaoli to fight against the earthquake!"

Su Jiao stood up straight, straightened his chest, making the graduation medal on his chest more eye-catching. A gentle smile appeared on his face. He held Zheng Chen's arms with both hands and said, "Chang'an Jun had long expected that this earth dragon's rise might lead to the loss of all the food stored in the villages."

"That's why all my men came here with food!"

"It's just that cooking utensils are hard to carry, so we should ask Zheng Lizheng to find some cooking utensils and turn all the food we brought into meals!"

Zheng Chen, who had been interrupted many times, was completely speechless at this moment.

Old, old.

My ears are starting to hallucinate!
