Chapter 232 Killing Intent 1
Qin Zhijian was about to go back to the camp with Jin Liu, when he heard this, he frowned and looked at the guards, "Get up, what's going on? Can someone check?"

"This subordinate has asked someone to inquire, and there must be news coming soon." As soon as the guard's voice fell, another person ran over.

"My lord, the villagers at the foot of Julong Mountain have come to us for some reason."

"Is it a villager?" Qin Zhijian's eyes flashed doubts, and he turned to look at Jin Liu: "You go in and rest first, I'll come to see it!"

Just as Qin Zhijian was about to leave, Jin Liu held his hand, "I just wanted to take a walk after sitting in the carriage for a day, so let me and the prince go over there to have a look!"

Qin Zhijian was still not sure about the situation over there, and he didn't want to take Jinliu over there, fearing that she would be bumped by those people, so he turned his head and saw Jinliu's eyes wide open, but he nodded, "You can go with me. , but you must always stay by my side."

"I see, let's go!" Seeing Qin Zhijian's promise, Jin Liu smiled sweetly, and pulled him towards the direction the guards came from.

When the two of them led a dozen people to the southwest side of the camp, they saw dozens of guards, large and small, blocking the outside of the camp. The youngest baby was still held in her arms, probably because of the reason for rushing earlier. The baby was frightened and cried loudly. The thin young woman who was holding the baby also started to cry, the sound of crying was similar to The voice of speaking came over, and it seemed a little noisy.

"What's going on?" Qin Zhijian walked over with Jin Liu.

As soon as the guard saw Qin Zhijian approaching, he immediately gave up an empty seat. The villagers were still talking to the guards before, but when they saw a man who looked like a high-ranking official approaching, they were stunned and dared not speak. , only the ignorant baby was still crying loudly, and the young woman who was holding him shook gently with tears on her face. The baby tried to stop his crying but failed, so he could only look at Qin Zhi with fear. The golden gilt after the cut-off.

The guard who was talking to the villagers just now was relieved to see Qin Zhijian you came, listened to his question, and hurried forward and said: "Return to the lord, these people claim to be the villagers at the foot of Julong Mountain, because of a natural disaster in the village, So when you escaped, you thought it was dark and had nowhere to go, and asked us to take them in. The subordinates have already told them that we are going to greet the relatives, and there is no extra room for them to live in, so please leave, but they Just don't want to."

"My lord, we are all the people of Daqin. We have endured the harassment of the Huns all the year round, which made our life very difficult. This time the Huns attacked us in Daqin and robbed us of a lot of food from our village. It was all saved by us to live frugally for the winter, and they robbed them all. We thought that even if the Huns left, we could survive even if it was hard, but unexpectedly, we encountered a natural disaster and burned all our things. Even the house burned down a lot. We chose to leave our village because we were really powerless. Now it’s dark, and there are wolves on the grassland at night. We were attacked by a few lone wolves when we came here before. A few people died, and I don’t know if there are other wolves nearby. Fortunately, I saw the fire on your side before coming over. Lord, it doesn’t matter if we adults are dead, but we still have children here! They are all People of Daqin, please save our children!" As if thinking that what the guard said was wrong, a tall man in the village who seemed to be in charge suddenly knelt down and said in a sad voice, When the others saw him kneel down, they knelt down too, and the children and women all cried.

"My lord!" Seeing so many people, old and young, crying and kneeling in front of him, Jin Liu's heart ached, and he called softly.

Qin Zhijian knew that Jin Liu's heart had softened, so he turned his arms around her, but he didn't forget that they were now at the border between the Great Qin and the Huns, and the identities of these people were yet to be ascertained, so he looked around at those people, and turned to Turning his head to the guard beside him, he said, "Go to the foot of Julong Mountain to see if there is such a thing, and report back after finding out the situation!"

"Yes!" The guard clasped his hands in agreement, turned and left, snatched a horse beside him, and the horse quickly disappeared into the night sky.

"Tell people to light a fire, and bring them some food!" Jin Liu turned to Jia Qin who was behind him and said, just as he finished speaking, he saw Nan Haojiang and Mei Hongtao walking over.

"What's the matter? I heard the noise here from a distance! What's the matter with these people?" Nan Haojiang glanced at the people who had stood up outside, and asked curiously, but his expression was very cautious. The Huns didn't make any mistakes along the way, and they were going to enter the territory of the Huns tomorrow. He was worried that the Huns were trying to do something before they entered the Huns.

"I just saw a white light flashing in the direction of Julong Mountain. Where did these people come from?" Mei Hongtao asked eagerly. The white light was too unusual. He was worried that the light of sunspots had already flashed. He might not be able to go back, so he rushed over to have a look. He didn't expect to see Qin Zhijian and Jin Liu before leaving the barracks, and encountered Nanhaojiang on the way.

Qin Zhijian glanced at Mei Hongtao, then looked at Nan Haojiang: "These people are villagers at the foot of Julong Mountain. It is said that a natural disaster has occurred. I have sent people to investigate!"

"Natural disaster?" Nan Haojiang raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Mei Hongtao.

Mei Hongtao's heart moved, and he hurried to the villagers, ignoring that they were eating the steamed buns given to them by the military camp, and asked anxiously: "What kind of natural disaster happened to you so that you left yourself so late at night?" s home?"

The big man who was talking to Qin Zhijian just now was chewing steamed buns, looked up at Mei Hongtao, touched the dandruff stuck on his beard, his eyes became a little frightened: "We don't know what it is, originally It was fine during the day, but in the evening, there was a sudden thunder. The thunder was very scary, but we didn't take it seriously. When we had dinner and were going to sleep, suddenly there was a loud noise from Kara, and we saw a few Red fireballs fell from the sky, and these fireballs ran around, because everyone had a rest, and the doors were closed, but for some reason, those fireballs got in through the cracks in the door, and after entering, they went around everywhere. Then it burned. When we escaped from the house, it was still following us. By the way, Wang Daniu was only touched by the fireball, and immediately fell to the ground. When he escaped from the village, he saw it We are the only ones left, and those who have not escaped don’t know what happened, and we don’t know how many people died. When we ran away and looked back, the village was already engulfed in flames. When we were leaving, we met a few wolves, and a few people died, and if there hadn’t been another explosion from the sky, scaring away those wolves, there would have been fewer of us.”

"My mother's legs and feet are inconvenient. Now I don't know if she has been burned to death."

"The second girl in our family didn't see anyone, and I'm afraid there are no more."

"There is also our horse, which is the lifeblood of our family!"

"God treats us like this, how will we live in the future!"

After hearing what the big man said, the villagers remembered the horrible scene, and began to cry. When the children saw the grown-up crying, they also cried.

"Could it be...spherical thunder?" Jin Liu approached Mei Hongtao and asked in a low voice. In her previous life, she had heard such reports that fireballs fell from the sky and burned everything in the house, but she didn't know. Is it because the building materials are not as flammable as they are now, or something, and I haven't heard of things that caused house burning and death.

Mei Hongtao nodded. Although he expected that the sunspot explosion would cause a series of abnormal weather, he did not expect that there would be a spherical thunder here, and it would cause such serious damage. Does this mean that the light of the sunspot is about to appear? ?And the place where it appeared was the village of these villagers? "I want to go and have a look!"

"What are you talking about?" Seeing Jin Liu and Mei Hongtao talking in a low voice, Qin Zhijian came over with some displeasure, and wrapped his arms around Jin Liu's waist.

"You don't want to go to that village to see it!" Nan Haojiang also walked over, and he knew what Mei Hongtao was thinking without asking him. Mei Hongtao's original destination was Julong Mountain, and now he heard that Julong Mountain flashed Bai Guang, such an incredible thing happened again, let alone Mei Hongtao, even he also thought of the so-called sunspot light.

"My lord, I can't go now, I don't know if those terrible things have left!" The big man said in panic.

At this moment, the guard who had gone out to inquire came back, got off his horse and galloped in front of Qin Zhijian, said with one knee, "Reporting to my lord, I went to the village at the foot of Julong Mountain to check it out, and found no fire. Looking closer, there are traces of being burned, and there is no sound in the village, so I don’t know if there are people inside!”

"So those who stayed in the village are dead!" The big man's eyes widened, his hands were clenched into fists, and there was another crying sound from his side. He turned his head and glared at the little woman beside him. "Why are you crying!"

Thinking about it, the little woman was also very afraid of her own man, and she didn't dare to cry after being yelled at by the big man. She sobbed softly, and wiped her tears with her dirty sleeve.

"Since it has been found out that you are indeed the people of Daqin, I will arrange a place for you to stay in the military camp, and I will also ask the military doctor to look at your injuries, but we are leaving early tomorrow morning, what are your plans? ?" Knowing that the person in front of him was not a Hun pretending to sneak into the barracks, Qin Zhijian's face brightened a bit, and he asked those people.

There were more than [-] people, old and young, who escaped from the village. At this moment, they all focused their attention on the big man, as if they were waiting for him to speak.

"Go back! Let's go back tomorrow morning!" The big man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and looked at Qin Zhijian and said, "Our ancestors grew up in that village. Although there is a natural disaster in the village now, we believe that God will not No matter how difficult it is for us, and our family and all our belongings are still there, even if we want to rebuild the village in another place, we have to go back first!"

Hearing what the big man said, the others nodded in agreement.

"Since you have made a decision, I will take someone to send you back early tomorrow morning. If you have anything to do, you can go directly to Yancheng to find a general named Han Yuankai, and he will help you!" Qin Zhijian looked at Out of the status of the big man in the hearts of the villagers, Wang asked Han Yuankai to stay in Yancheng to help him because of his young Qin Zhijian.

"Thank you, my lord!" Hearing this, the big man gratefully led the villagers to kneel down again. They were already terrified by this natural disaster, and they were almost buried in the belly of wolves. How could they expect to meet a nobleman? In their hearts, they felt grateful to Qin Zhijian Naturally it goes without saying.

Qin Zhijian nodded and asked people to resettle these villagers. Although he already recognized the identities of these people, he must be on guard against others, especially in such a sensitive period. Arranged on the outskirts of the barracks, there are soldiers patrolling for four weeks. If there is any abnormality, he can receive the news as soon as possible and control them.
