Chapter Fifty-Eight: Cangpu County Suffers a Great Change

Nangong Wuxi took Shangguan Qiang and some of his close friends and embarked on the road to Cangpu County.

They walked all the way, and it had been ten days since they arrived in Cangpu County, looking at the ruins in front of them and the only shack, Nangong Wuxi immediately understood.

"It looks like we're late, Shangguan, you should immediately bring someone to inquire about what the hell is going on!" Nangong Wuxi's brows furrowed together.

Shangguan Qiang can be said to be the military advisor under Nangong Wuxi, he is very good at dealing with people, and after getting Nangong Wuxi's order, he immediately came to the shack with a few of his subordinates.

Seeing that the shack was full of old, weak, sick and disabled, completely waiting for death, Shangguan Qiang couldn't help but be surprised, he came to an old man, and watched him leaning against the wall, gnawing on something like a stone, and his heart was very pity.

"What the hell is going on, old man? How did you get this to happen? Shangguan Qiang took out a pot of water and wanted to moisten the old man's throat.

The people around swarmed, and you pushed me to snatch the pot of water, and it was definitely not a drop of water for a few days.

"How so?" Shangguan Qiang has never seen such a situation, he was born in a wealthy family in the Nangong Empire, and he is good at strategy when he reads for a young age, but he never knows that there are people who can't eat or drink.

"A group of very strange people came to this county a month ago," the old man's voice was hoarse, as if a gong had been broken, "the county lord took them into the county seat for the sake of their need, but that night they killed the county lord's family, robbed all the food and property in the county, and burned our house..."

The old man said and looked at Shangguan Qiang with tears in his eyes, "Not only that, but they also beat my wife to death and snatched my son and daughter-in-law..."

Hearing the old man say this, the Shangguan Qiang gritted his teeth with hatred, they came this time for this matter, but they didn't expect it to be too late.

"Don't worry, old man, we're here to solve this matter." Before Shangguan Qiang could speak, one of the strategists beside him suddenly spoke, "We will definitely help you get justice!" ”

"Sun Yongmao Hugh wants to talk nonsense!" Shangguan Qiang hurriedly stopped his subordinates, this person is usually very impulsive. Today we are repeating the same mistakes.

"My lord..."Sun Yongmao was very unconvinced, what he said was not a lie, they were originally here for this matter.

"Get out!" Shangguan Qiang stood up, this Sun Yongmao is really not enough to succeed, the purpose of coming here. Before the reason for the matter was clarified, he actually exposed himself!

If those people were still here, or if they had their eyeliner somewhere, wouldn't it expose them and the eldest prince to danger?

Leaving the shack, Shangguan reprimanded Sun Yongmao fiercely, this guy is really an elm head, not only stupid, but also not oil and salt.

Sun Yongmao didn't understand what Shangguan Qiang was talking about, what was exposed or not, they came here on business in an open and honest manner. It's not sneaky and unsightly.

But the official level crushed the person to death, after this Shangguan reprimanded Sun Yongmao fiercely, he could only sigh, but fortunately they were all straightforward people, and they didn't go to their hearts after that.

reported what he heard to Nangong Wuxi, Nangong Wuxi frowned, how could this be? "Let's go to the county government first." Nangong Wuxi hopes to find some clues in the county office.

This Cangpu County was originally a small county seat, with less than 100 households and only three or four streets.

The broken ruins along the way are unbearable, although the bones are not visible. But there is also a layer of death.

"The eldest prince, there are traces of someone surviving here." A soldier under Shangguan Qiang pointed to the corner of the wall, where there was still some bloodstains, but there were no corpses.

"Search carefully!" Nangong Wuxi immediately ordered. Now it seems that the only way to find out the situation is to find survivors.

"Yes!" More than a dozen people were mobilized, searching around along the bloodstains in the corner, and sure enough, they found an intermittent moaning sound under a broken wall.

"It seems to be a woman's voice." Shangguan Qiang cautiously climbed in, and the people behind him also stared nervously.

"Uhhhh She had a lot of wall shards stuck to her body, and she was guarding a child underneath her.

"This eldest sister, you..." Shangguan Qiang's heart moved with pity, looking at the child protected by this eldest sister, who was only about two or three years old, sleeping in her arms unharmed, and sighed in his heart The greatness of maternal love.

"Please... Take care of him..."As soon as the woman saw Shangguan Qiang, she immediately grabbed his wrist, and when she spoke, the cracks on her lips continued to ooze blood.

"Sister, what the hell is going on? What about the father of the child? Shangguan Qiang took the child and asked, the woman burst into tears, "Killed by the group of thieves... Caught... Theyβ€”" The woman was about to say something, but her hand hung limply.

"Big sister, big sister!" Shangguan Qiang looked at the woman who had swallowed her last breath, gently wiped her eyelids, and looked at the child in his arms, "Alas... This kid has no family at such a young age..."

"My lord, we found this over there, it should be a token of love between this eldest sister and her husband!" A soldier holds half a jade pendant in his hand.

Although it is half a piece, it is indeed carefully protected, and it is carefully wound with red silk threads to weave into the shape of half a concentric knot, which is very beautiful.

"Looks like it should be." Shangguan Qiang took the jade pendant and put it on the child's body, "I hope to have the opportunity to find your father and reunite your father and son." ”

Looking at the child's carefree sleeping face, he didn't know the most important person in the slightest, and his mother had left him and still slept soundly.

brought this child to the eldest prince, and the eldest prince was also moved with compassion, "We must find this group of people and help them reunite with their father and son." ”

Shangguan Qiang was very frustrated after rummaging over the ruins and walls, and no survivors were found, but he did not give up, this matter was not so easy to solve.

When night fell, Shangguan Qiang and the others were a little embarrassed, they couldn't let the eldest prince sleep in the open, right? But where is there a place to sleep?

"Shangguan, how much food have we brought, why don't we take it out and give it to those who survived, so that they can have a full meal!" Nangong Wuxi is actually very kind!

Shangguan Qiang nodded, they all had their own storage utensils, and after tidying up, there was really a lot of food.

Shangguan Qiang asked people to cook a lot of porridge and distribute it to the more than ten people in the shack, not because they were reluctant to give them good things, but because they had been hungry for a long time, and it was easy to hurt their bodies if they suddenly ate something.

"I knew you were noble!" The old man was at the back of the line, holding the bowl of porridge with trembling hands, but did not drink, but fell to his knees. (To be continued.) )
