Chapter 061 Refugees Become Famine

Chapter 061

Huangfu Haotian finally left.With his heart full of reluctance for Xiao Li, but also with Xiao Li's endless doubts.

Before leaving, he said to her, take care and wait for me!

Xiao Li did not respond, but did not question again.

She just kept silent and let Huangfu Haotian hug her by the waist.Then he took her across the entire woods, and then over fields full of darkness.

At that moment, for the first time, she felt like a young girl in love, letting her lover hold her in his arms, and entrusting her whole body and mind to his hands.Then gently closed his eyes, all he wanted in his heart was to believe him, never to ask anything again.

At that moment, besides the sound of the wind, only his heartbeat remained in her ears.

Back in the camp, the soldiers had already rested.Huangfu Haotian sneaked into her camp with her in his arms, and then he kissed her affectionately before leaving without looking back.

In the following days, Xiao Li has been trying her best to restrain herself, not to let herself show any abnormal emotions.

Facts have proved that the training she has experienced in the past is really effective. Along the way, even Qin Jian, who is by her side every day, has not noticed a trace of abnormality in her.

However, this may not be because Xiao Li hides it so well.It's just that now everyone's minds are mostly stuck on the war.

In fact, war is not as easy as Xiao Li imagined, on the contrary, it is exactly what the sentence said - war is always cruel!

On this road, the further north one goes, Xiao Li will be able to see more and more refugees fleeing.

In the beginning, she was able to pass down an order to ask Zhang Laowu to take out some of the grain and grass used by the military and distribute it to the refugees to alleviate their poverty and hunger.

But gradually, when more and more refugees gathered from the border, even Xiao Li herself had to admit that her actions were actually irrational.

On this day, Zhang Laowu finally couldn't help but found her tent.

"Marshal Xiao." Zhang Laowu said to her: "In fact, we also know that Marshal, you are kind-hearted, and you can't bear to watch those people suffer. But there is one sentence that we have to say to Marshal gone."

"Brother Zhang, you might as well speak up if you have something to say." Xiao Li said.

Zhang Laowu said: "Marshal, we are going to fight at the border, but what do you need most in this war? Of course, it should be the soldiers, don't you think? But what the soldiers need most Woolen cloth?"

Xiao Li couldn't help laughing bitterly when she heard it: "I know what Brother Zhang means. You are afraid that there will be too many refugees along the way, and the food and grass we brought are limited after all, aren't you?"

Zhang Laowu nodded and said: "That's exactly what you said. Marshal Xiao, don't say that our 10 horses only have such a little food and grass. Then it will be doubled, and we have to do more for future wars." Well prepared, isn't it?"

Xiao Li couldn't help but nodded when she heard this: "Actually, I have already seen it in the past few days. If we go on like this all the time, I'm afraid it's not a solution. In this way, not only will our own food and grass become worse and worse. They came less and less, and also delayed the army's trip to the north ###."

Zhang Laowu nodded after hearing this: "What the marshal said is true. So the last general came here to see the marshal this time, mainly hoping that the marshal can come up with a feasible solution!"

Xiao Li smiled slightly, nodded at him and said: "I know, brother Zhang, why don't you step back first. After I think about it carefully, I will inform everyone later."

After Zhang Laowu left, Xiao Li couldn't help but tightly frowned, Qin Jian watched from the side, and walked over worriedly: "Miss, what are you thinking about this matter? "

Xiao Li raised her head, looked at Qin Jian in a daze for a long time, and suddenly smiled at her: "I don't think so, Qin Jian, you can help me change my clothes now, and then you can accompany me and go out for a walk ?”

Qin Jian couldn't help but wondered after hearing this: "At this time, what can you see when you go out? It's dark everywhere outside."

Xiao Li said: "Leave this alone, hurry up and help me change my clothes."

But after a while, Xiao Li brought Qin Jian, and the two of them put on a set of men's casual clothes, got out of the tent, and walked towards the outer periphery of the army.

Although the sky was dark and the weather was getting colder and colder, there was still an endless stream of fleeing people on the official road leading to the south.

Under the dim moonlight, I saw a young woman walking in front of her, holding a baby who was waiting to be fed, but because she had nothing to eat, she could only cry all the way.

Seeing this, Qin Jian couldn't help sighing to Xiao Li.

"Miss, you say that's fine. Why do some people insist on starting a war? Look at these people. If it wasn't for the war, why would they be forced to leave their homes? Nowadays, they don't even have a full meal. I can't eat anymore."

After hearing this, Xiao Li couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, since ancient times, wars have brought only suffering to the people!"

Qin Jian said: "Speaking of it, it's still because of those Jing Kingdom Tartars. If it wasn't for their unwarranted war, why would the people of Ling Kingdom have to suffer so much!"

Just as I was talking, I saw a slightly staggering figure hurriedly walking up behind the young woman: "You are a real person, what kind of mother do you do? The children are already crying like this, look It must be starving, you mother, you have to give him some ### to eat."

Listening to that voice, Xiao Li felt that the person who spoke should be a middle-aged woman.It seemed that she might not be able to bear to be disturbed by the crying of the child, so she chased after the young woman.

However, at this time, the young woman was heard crying and said to the woman: "Why doesn't my family know what the third aunt said? But you have also seen it along the way. You can eat and drink things, everyone I have searched almost all over, but so far, who among you is not hungry? Not to mention that I am a woman who is still breastfeeding, and I have no ability to find it myself, let alone snatch it from others, so this In the past few days, I almost survived by drinking water and eating grass. But just by eating those things, how much ### can I have. "

As the young woman spoke, she couldn't help crying again: "Third Aunt, let me tell you the truth, I have already felt it in my heart, my poor child, I am afraid that he will not be able to endure it soon It's..."

"Don't talk nonsense." The third aunt, presumably a kind woman, couldn't help but sigh sadly at such a poor pair of mother and child: "It's all the fault of those Jing Kingdom tartars. Life is short, but you still want to pick something to fight. If it weren't for this, your family would not be dragged into war by the military master, and your mother and son, how could they be reduced to such a situation?"

"Wuuuu..." When the young woman heard this, she couldn't help crying anymore: "Third Aunt, I don't know if he is still alive at this moment. If he knew that at this moment, I'm afraid that the slave's family will lose even his child, so do you think he will hate me for the rest of his life? Huh..."

"Look at you, I told you not to talk nonsense. You are so good, why are you getting more and more energetic?" The third aunt said this, and there was inevitably some choking in her voice.

But then, she suddenly lowered her voice very low, and said to the young woman: "Gen Sheng's family, don't be so sad. Let me tell you, I still have a few pieces of sweet potatoes secretly hidden in my arms. I'll bring it to you now."

When the young woman heard this, she couldn't help but said in surprise: "Third aunt, how can this be possible? You are still hungry, how can I ask for your things?"

But the woman quickly lowered her voice and said to her: "Hush, listen to me. You, it's okay to eat something else yourself. But this child, you must save his life, right? So listen Mine, you just chew up this sweet potato, and then feed it to the child bit by bit. I thought, no matter what, this child can last for a few days..."

"Miss, did you hear that?" Qin Jian couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly pulled Xiao Li's sleeve and said, "Look at how pitiful they are, you should hurry up and think of a way."

Xiao Li was about to move forward with the Qin sword, but suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps.For a moment, Xiao Li couldn't help pulling the zither sword to stop her figure.

"Miss~" "Hush..." Before Qin Jian could speak, Xiao Li hissed to stop her.

But at this moment, behind the two women, a few hungry men suddenly rushed in.

"Third Aunt, we all heard it. So you have something hidden in your arms?" The men suddenly surrounded the middle-aged woman while talking.

"What do you want to do?" Seeing this situation, the third aunt couldn't help shouting nervously.

However, how could those few people pay attention to her too much? They saw that they had already pushed the middle-aged woman to the ground, and then fumbled in her arms. In an instant, they had already pulled the woman's skirt chaos.

"You robbers, let go of me quickly!" Third Aunt cried out sadly, but still couldn't stop those people's hands.

Suddenly, there was only a sound of "gululu", and then in the dark night, several men began to fight for several sweet potatoes.

"Miss!" Seeing this, Qin Jian couldn't bear it anymore, broke away from Xiao Li's hands, and flew to the front of the group of people: "Hey, do you people still have a conscience? Even take away food from women, children and young children?"

"Where did you come from, Mao boy, to meddle in your business? Let me tell you, don't say they are women, children and children, even if they are empresses in the palace, the uncles still dare to snatch them." !"

"You..." Qin Jian had never seen such a rascal before, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

"Jian'er, get out of the way!"

At this time, Xiao Li finally came over.When Qin Jian saw her coming, he had no choice but to grit his teeth, and said bitterly: "General, you must give justice to this aunt!"

Xiao Li waved Qin Jian back, and then came to the middle of the group of men alone: ​​"How many of you, do you really dare to snatch the empress in the palace?" Her voice was cold, but not angry.

These guys are just ordinary civilians, and they have never seen Xiao Li's aura before, and they were suddenly overwhelmed by her powerful aura, so they couldn't even speak.

"Put down all the things in your hands for this general!" Xiao Li said coldly.

Until now, the few people on the ground understood that the person standing in front of them was actually an official, and a general at that.

The few people finally became scared, and quickly put the things in their hands on the ground, knelt down in front of Xiao Li and kowtowed: "Master Jun, please forgive me! We are really hungry, so we are so evil Please, Lord Jun, please spare our lives!"

Seeing this situation, the third aunt quickly got up from the ground, raised her hand and slapped a man beside her a few times crying, and then knelt down in front of Xiao Li along with them.Begging: "Master General, you have a large number of adults, please forgive them this time. These people are not usually so bad, this time, it is because they are too hungry that they will do such a wrong thing I beg you, just spare them this time!"

Seeing her begging for mercy, Xiao Li couldn't bear it, so she coldly shouted at those men: "Since Third Aunt is begging for you, you people, get out!"

"Let's go! Let's go!" Hearing this, the men quickly kowtowed to Xiao Li a few times, and then scrambled and left here.

Qin Jian stepped forward, first helped the woman up from the ground, and then went to help the young woman who was already paralyzed on the ground in fright.When the two came to Xiao Li, they couldn't help but knelt down and thanked each other again.

But Xiao Li stretched out her hand to stop her: "Excuse me, auntie, and this sister-in-law, where did you escape from?"

"Back to the general, the women are from the First Lianchi in the border town." The third aunt replied.

Xiao Li couldn't help but nodded after hearing this: "Oh, this war has caused you all to suffer."

When the young woman heard it, she couldn't help crying again.Seeing this, the third aunt couldn't help sighing: "Oh, in this world, I really don't know how to make people live!"

Seeing them crying, Qin Jian couldn't bear it, so he begged Xiao Li and said: "Miss, look at how pitiful they are, why don't we take the three of them together and go all the way. If you leave them here, they will die sooner or later." If you want to starve to death, it's better to let them follow the army and help cook the fire and so on."

"Qin Jian!" Hearing her words, Xiao Li couldn't help shouting, "Shut up!"

But how did Qin Jian know her thoughts, so he couldn't help but said: "Miss, can you really just watch them suffer without asking?"

Xiao Li was helpless, and finally sighed: "You girl, what do you know? What you do is just a woman's benevolence. Our [-] army is going to the border to fight, not the women and children's shelter."

"Then what are the two of them going to do?"

Xiao Li looked down at the two of them, feeling very helpless in her heart, so she stepped forward to help the two of them up, and said to Qin Jian: "Otherwise, let's take them back first, let General Ben think about it carefully?"
