Chapter 100 Running away

As the county magistrate's words came out, the people's perception of the county magistrate also improved greatly, and the sense of panic before the war was much reduced. .

Magistrate Luo said impatiently: "Shut them up, shut them down! Lock them all up, who will protect our safety then? Send someone to deliver dozens of new sets of clothes, and let them change their clothes and come out." .”

"As long as no one recognizes him, that's fine." Magistrate Luo added.

"By the way, find someone to send a letter to your majesty. My mother returned to her hometown to worship her ancestors the day before yesterday. She accidentally fell and injured her leg on the way. I came here to say goodbye to your majesty and go take care of my mother."

As long as he leaves office before the enemy troops arrive, he can still be an official easily by doing some operations.

After all, everyone has been doing this for hundreds of years.

……

Wang Laohei returned home to drink in depression. Soon, a fierce-looking man came in and shouted dully: "Brother."

Wang Laohei nodded and said, "Are the scars, kerosene and other supplies for defending the city ready?"

Yes, this person is Scarface, who met the eldest princess once in the Deadly Cave.

Because of the unique scar on his face, this became his nickname.

"Don't worry, everything is ready," Scar paused and asked, "Brother, can we really hold on?"

Wang Laohei patted his head and laughed and scolded: "What are you thinking? Just the two hundred or so of us can beat the opponent's head with more than 20 people?"

Scarface was even more puzzled: "Then-"

"Then why do I still defend the city?"

Wang Laohei finished what he said for him.

Under the doubtful gaze of Scarface, he finally said: "The magistrate of Luo County has abandoned the city and fled, so what can we do to fight against the Qifeng Kingdom? Every day, I don't think about how to save my life, and I only think about how to die." "

"Magistrate Luo is running away?" Scarface was shocked.

"Is that necessary?" Mr. Wang gave him a black and white look, "That guy didn't forget to rob more property before running away. I just caught him."

But this is also expected.

If it were him, he would also run away.

"No, I'm going to find him to reason with him." Scarface left these words and left angrily.

There are hundreds or thousands of people in a small town. How can we fight the county magistrate if he runs away?

However, when he rushed to the county government office, was there any sign of Magistrate Luo?

Even the group of young people under him ran away, and the huge county government office was actually empty at the moment.

The wind outside the window blew into the room, adding a bit of chill to Scarface's disappointed mood.

"Haha, I've been here in Xiong County for a few days and I forgot all about my last name." Scarface laughed at himself.

Why would he expect anything from these officials?

Aren’t all officials in the world generally evil?

He really thought too much.

After leaving the county government angrily, he walked towards a corner of the county seat.

There are brothers who came with him from the slums there, plus the army from Xiong County, even if the Qifeng Kingdom comes over, they will probably be able to withstand it for a while.

But it's time for him to find a way out for himself.

Those officials all took the emperor's salary, but when the country really needed them, they could run faster than a rabbit.

These people who eat the emperor's food are still like this. He is just an ordinary commoner. He has never enjoyed the emperor's grace in his life. It is reasonable to find a way to survive for himself.

On the other side of the palace, Helian Jingxi was pacing back and forth anxiously.

"I believe that General Fu is wise and powerful and will definitely protect Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." Tuo Zhoubai knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

Although he said this, in fact a lot of cold sweat had already broken out on his forehead. "I..." Helian Jingxi was furious, hating that iron could not make steel, "The opponent has 200,000 people, and Fu Yanping only has tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, which is not even a fraction of the opponent's. How can he protect the emperor's sister?" Safety?"

He understands this very well.

In his previous life, Fu Yanping fought against all odds and sent troops to conquer the Yushuang Kingdom. At first, he didn't think highly of this yellow-haired boy at all and only gave him a small number of troops.

Then the emperor's sister asked him to marry him, and he regretted it so much that he could only comfort himself silently in his heart: Fu Yanping would definitely come back victorious, otherwise how could he be worthy of the emperor's sister.

In the end, Fu Yanping actually won.

The 10,000 troops of Xuefeng Kingdom fought against the 30,000 troops of Yushuang Kingdom. Although the fight was very difficult, they still won.

After Master Fu Yanping returned to Beijing, it was said that his whole body was bruised and scarred, and the bright red blood seeped out of his clothes and had long since dried, making him look like a hellish Shura.

Out of the 10,000 troops who went on the expedition, only more than a hundred people were left when they returned, which shows how tragic the war situation was.

"God bless, everything goes well."

Helian Jingxi thought silently in his heart.

……

In front of the noodle stall.

Wang Laohei was patrolling here with a dozen soldiers when he saw his familiar cousin Scarface. His face turned dark and he led the soldiers around him.

When the stall owner saw the group of soldiers coming towards him menacingly, he was so frightened that he almost peed.

While cursing the bad luck in his heart, he also knew that he would inevitably have to spend money to eliminate misfortune today.

Despite this, he still had to put on a smile and greet him with a fawning smile: "Grandpa soldiers, come, please take a seat. I will serve you some food now."

——As for the meal money, looking at the battle, I must have paid for it myself.

Wang Laohei ignored the stall owner and walked straight to Scarface. Scarface glanced at Wang Laohei and the dozen brothers behind him, and greeted with a smile:

"Everyone is here? Sit down and have something to eat together."

Seeing this, the soldiers dispersed one after another, each found a seat to sit, and waited for the food to be served.

Wang Laohei sat down opposite Scarface and said, "Didn't you go to question Magistrate Luo?"

Scarface's face was gloomy: "You son of a bitch! You even asked a question, and you abandoned the city and ran away in fear of the enemy. Damn it, when we plundered the people, I saw that every official was so soft-hearted. When it came time to fight, every one of them Runs faster than a rabbit.”

Wang Laohei was not surprised at all by this and responded casually: "Isn't this normal? Which official is not like this..."

In his early years, he also had great military exploits. According to the law, he should have been awarded a good title, and he has prospered since then.

But because he had a broken arm and there was no one in the court to help him, he was sent to Xiong County as a small county captain.

As for his brothers, they are all the veterans he accepted back then.

It's perfectly normal to plunder people.

Without money and food, brothers have to starve. Which is more important, the people or the brothers who have been on the battlefield together?

Not long after, the stall owner also brought noodles to this table first.

Then came the other soldiers.

The stall owner's heart was bleeding when he was serving the noodles. It was over. All his work these days had been in vain.

Scarface looked at Wang Laohei who was devouring his food, pondered for a moment and said:

"Wang Laohei, I heard that there will be a Lantern Festival or something in the south of the Yangtze River in a few days. It's very lively. It's probably not too late for you to go there with your wife and children now?"
