Chapter 276: Border Warfare

“…… How so? ”

The situation in Aksu City was even more chaotic than Ruoshui imagined, she thought that the refugees were just begging along the streets like beggars, and there was a lot of mourning, but she didn't expect that hunger could bring out the craziest side of human nature, and even the city government yamen had been smashed, so they might have no taboos.

"The city of Aksu, close to the oasis of Surash, is a piece of fat in the eyes of the barbarians, but it has rarely been affected by the war since the Great General Wang guarded the border. However, because of the continuous war, the grain and grass were not allocated in time to be taken from the granary of Aksu City, but unfortunately the people of Aksu City had forgotten the damage caused by the war, and only saw that their food was continuously sent to the front line, so they transferred their hatred to the head of the army stationed on the border. ”

"This time the barbarians attacked the border on a large scale, and the duration was completely different from previous years, and the army was not well prepared for food and grass, so it could only be transferred from Aksu City again. It's just that I don't know what went wrong with the request to send grain to Beijing, and the imperial court has not allocated grain and grass to supplement the deficit of Aksu City. ”

Xiaobai didn't have anything taboo, he told Ruoshui about the resistance encountered by the current border army, which also gave Ruoshui a three-dimensional impression of the border war of the Daling Dynasty.

"What do you mean...... Something went wrong with the interior of the Daling Dynasty? Some people deliberately created a refugee riot in Aksu City under the pretext of the war, in order to achieve the goal of making the border army of the Daling Dynasty vulnerable to the enemy. Thereby...... Occupy Aksu City? ”

"I don't mean anything, I'm just telling you what is happening and what is causing this situation. It's not something I need to think about, and it's not something we can talk about. ”

“…… So why are you telling me this? ”

Ruoshui, who had been rushing forward without stopping, stopped hesitantly when he heard Xiaobai's seemingly deliberate meaning.

She didn't understand what Xiaobai was helping her for from the beginning, because this kind of practice could easily lead to him revealing his identity, but he didn't seem to care that his identity would be exposed. You must know that they have never known each other in their lives, and the only intersection is from a mission. Xiaobai also lost his only loved one because of this, and from any point of view, he had no reason to help her.

So. Opportunity, there must be some opportunity to make him do this. Even, it wasn't even certain whether he was really helping, and this feeling of uncertainty filled Ruoshui with a sense of crisis. She even felt like she was following him to the trap.

"I thought you wanted to be involved in counterinsurgency. Only then will I tell you the situation, so that you don't have to deal with it in a hurry when you really face it. ”

Ruoshui stopped, Xiaobai immediately found out, he turned his head to look at Ruoshui, his expression helpless.

But Ruoshui didn't want to know that, what she really wanted to know was why Xiaobai chose to help her, but Xiaobai had already said that he wanted to explain it later, and Ruoshui had already acquiesced. Now it's time to go through the old accounts again, and it doesn't seem so authentic.

"I'll come out with you. Is it beyond your master's control? ”

After being silent for a while, Ruoshui decided to ask from a different angle.

"I ...... I don't know. Perhaps the master has arranged for someone to monitor your movements, but I have not received such an order. ”

"That is, if no one is spying on me, then my behavior will be considered uncooperative, and will my family be implicated as a result?"

Xiaobai finally stopped talking, he looked at Ruoshui's eyes, he didn't smile, he didn't get angry, he just watched quietly, but there was an indescribable sense of oppression.

"I ask you this, not to say that you have lured me out of control, but I can see that your attitude towards me, although not instigated, is not lacking in resignation. Gurati once told me that in the team led by Lu Li, everyone is very loyal, and they all have reasons to follow me to the death, and Gurati has no reason to lie to me. But what about you? You make me feel uneasy. ”

“…… Miss Xiao~ Dealing with you, I really can't be sloppy~"

Xiaobai smiled.

"When it comes to my family, everything needs to be cautious."

If the water is unmoved.

"Since we met by chance, all decisions are made by yourself, is it too late to dwell on this now?"

Xiaobai finally regained Ruoshui's unruliness when he first saw him, and the unceremonious words were particularly obvious.

"That's right~ If you have such an attitude, I'll be much more relieved~ Let's go~ It's all out anyway, then at least solve the matter in front of you first, as for what you want to use me to achieve, I'll settle the account with you afterwards."

Ruoshui, who has always looked preoccupied, suddenly became relaxed after Xiaobai's attitude changed suddenly. She smiled and waved her hand at Xiaobai, who was a little stunned, and then walked to the front by herself.

Xiaobai stayed behind her, his face changed and changed, and finally he followed suspiciously.

The two didn't communicate all the way, until they climbed over a towering sand dune and finally saw Luo Liangsheng's team.

On one side were five thousand cavalry, all of whom had now dismounted, and Luo Liangsheng was standing at the front. On one side is a group of refugees with about the same number as cavalry, and there seems to be such a leader at the head, standing face to face with Luo Liangsheng, as if he is saying something emotionally, and the refugees behind him seem to have been instigated by him, and from time to time they burst out into a shout.

Ruoshui was not close to the scene of the encounter, so she couldn't see Luo Liangsheng's expression clearly, and she didn't know how far things had progressed. Now that the two sides have been locked in a standoff, any suspicious characters who appear rashly will become the focus of attention, although Ruoshui wants to quell the violence, but does not want to become the target of public criticism in the first place, which will not do her purpose at all.

As they struggled with how to blend in, they suddenly noticed that several refugees had passed them and descended the sand dunes with such impunity. And what is surprising is that Luo Liangsheng's side was completely unmoved by these people who suddenly appeared, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.

These people didn't even look at Xiao Bai and Ruoshui lying on the ground, for them, these two people were just fainting from hunger, such people would appear repeatedly around them every day, and they had already turned a blind eye. (To be continued......)
