Madame is as charming as a flower

Chapter 1769 Fight for the glory of the country. 5
Fu Lingcheng said: "We won't be able to find out where the folks are for a while. With the situation of the brothers, there is no way to delay here any longer. Let's leave first."

After all, this village was the place they passed by, and everything that happened in it was not within their scope of action.

Although they have the responsibility to figure out what's going on, but now that the brothers can't hold on anymore, it's better to settle down in the city first, and then come back and check it out when the time comes.

"Okay, let's go back to the city first."

Jin Tingxiao nodded. He was very clear about the current situation of the brothers. That battle was absolutely exhausting for everyone. He was also afraid that if the soldiers stayed here, they would always think about the food here.

Seeing this, Song Chen immediately commanded his brothers to move forward, preparing to pass through the official road, but just as they were finishing their formation, a gunshot suddenly came from the other side of the valley.

Because the surrounding area was extremely quiet, suddenly there was such a gunshot that shook the valley, causing the soldiers to subconsciously raise their guns to guard, and their whole body's attention was fully concentrated.

"The gunshots came from the valley on the left, which is the back of the village."

Song Chen and others are particularly sensitive to gunshots. It is difficult for ordinary people to judge the specific direction of gunshots when they hear gunshots by accident or when there is an echo.

Like Jin Tingxiao and Fu Lingcheng, they all grew up in the military camp, and they can completely judge where the sound came from by the response produced by the gunshot.

"Let's go over and have a look." Fu Lingcheng had a premonition that something big was about to happen, so he ordered everyone to follow them to the valley to see the situation.

When the brothers heard the order, none of them wasted any time. They all put on their equipment and headed towards the valley. They would be extremely vigilant against any possible fighting.

So it doesn't matter whether you are hungry or not.

The team cautiously walked through the village and slowly approached the middle of the valley. Everyone stepped lightly and tried not to make any noise, for fear of being overwhelmed.

Through the dense leaves, Jin Tingxiao saw countless ordinary people surrounded there, including men and women, old and young, weak and strong, and bandits with weapons stood around them.

Standing on the mountain bag is the bandit leader wearing a one-eyed eyepatch and holding a gun in his hand.

The bandit leader blew on his gun and said to everyone: "Folks, don't misunderstand us. I told you that I, Xue Bao, specialize in beating Fusang people. I invite you to go up the mountain today to build fortifications, which is convenient and Fusang people are fighting to let everyone make a little contribution to Kyushu, why don't you agree?"

But he looked like a one-eyed man, and he was still a bandit. How could the villagers speak? They all looked at him in fear, as if they didn't know whether their lives could be guaranteed.

They just want to live in peace and contentment. In this troubled world, having something to eat is already very good. They don't want to build any fortifications or beat Fusang people.

People are like this. When war comes, they can only take care of themselves. They only want to protect their own safety. Not many people have any ambitions and want to join the battlefield.

And once there is peace and prosperity, they will completely forget about the soldiers who carried the burden for them.

"I have said so much, everyone should understand what I mean, now you follow me up the mountain, and I, Xue Bao, can guarantee that after the fortifications are completed, I will personally send you down the mountain!"

Seeing that the common people had nothing to say, Xue Bao took the initiative to ask them to make a decision: "Come here, invite them all to the mountain."
