On the plains and fields, thousands of ragged people were walking slowly. There were both men and women in the team, but there were few old, weak and young children, all of them were hungry and their steps were vain.

Walking in front of the still a little lucky, occasionally found a little green wild vegetables in the field, so they rushed forward to dig out with their hands, and stuffed the wild vegetables that were still stained with soil into their mouths, bitter grass juice mixed with earthy smell, can be tasted between the lips and teeth for a long time, as if the world is extremely delicious.

Those who fell behind the team did not have such good luck, and all they saw were trampled on a messy road, not even grassroots.

On the side of the procession, there were seven or eight wooden carts, on which were stacked a dozen sacks, all covered with straw felt. The wheel traces are very deep, although there are old cows and horses in front, but it is difficult to borrow too much animal power, and most of them have to rely on manpower to drag and promote.

And these trailers are the strongest Ding Zhuang in this team. Although they are strong, they all have yellow muscles and a wide skeleton.

On the front and rear flanks of the procession, nearly 200 Qianghu rangers paraded around, occasionally whipping the refugees to speed up.

When the team reached a slope, the speed slowed down. The refugees' physical strength has been squeezed to the limit, and even a slightly larger leg lift is on the verge of collapse.

The Hu cavalry had no sympathy, and more than a dozen people scattered into the rear of the team, whipping some old and weak people who fell behind, begging for mercy and screaming endlessly, and some even died directly on the spot. With this threat to life, the speed of the team that is like Lao Niu slowly moving slowly has increased by a few points.

"These Jin slaves are really disgusting and should be killed! If you don't kill a few people, you will be cunning and slow down the trip! ”

A slave soldier stepped out of the ranks, stooping down and wiping the blood from the blade with the linen spills he had torn from the corpse, with a tyrannical expression.

"Stop complaining! The owner of the building is very irritable, and this time all the departments are out, and they have won a lot. Only our department has been wandering for more than ten days, but what we have obtained is only a thousand mouths, and the food is less than a thousand hundred, and we will be held accountable by the guards when we return. If you complain more, if you are heard by the lord of the building, you will be whipped with wrath! ”

Another slave soldier next to him sighed.

After hearing this, the slave soldier who spoke first was already full of disdain: "I haven't gained much this time, so who can I complain about?" It's not that the owner of the building himself is cowardly! It's not that he doesn't see Dazhai Gaowu along the way, but he doesn't dare to step forward to break it, how much can he get by sweeping the savages! And if we are in Vortex Bay, we can borrow a lot of water power and go all the way around, and he refuses to give up killing those Jin slaves, and it is already a fluke to have this ......."

As soon as this person opened his mouth, he was talking endlessly, which showed that he had a long grudge against the master of the soldier commander.

There were many slave soldiers next to him who heard this complaint, so they all joined the discussion: "Sofu, you don't have to complain much, who made the family the same species as the country, the old camp of the Chinese army!" Even if you are brave in battle, the whole clan must be righteous and miscellaneous, and it is only to blame that there is no big single in your clan that sweeps the world! ”

When the miscellaneous man named Sofu heard this, he pouted: "What if he is the same clan of the Lord?" is cowardly like a chicken, and there is no future after all. In previous years, the lord of the country was only a murderer in the countryside, who knew that my Suo clan would not be favored by heaven in the future! ”

This is a taboo, but there are many fierce people in the left and near the past, but after hearing it, they just laughed, and some people even made fun of asking for an official position.

However, there are also people who whispered to the owner of the building: "The owner of the building is cautious, it is not unreasonable, I would rather save my life than be greedy for a merit." At present, most of the southern captives are wandering in Huai, if it is only an ordinary division, it is said that this Wu army has its own weapon of great murder in the army, called Ten Thousand Arrows Car City, if anyone bumps into it, it is the life of the heavens, and it will be subject to ten thousand arrows! ”

After hearing this, the slaves all widened their eyes, some of them never believed that there was such a murder weapon in the world, and some of them were chiseled, and for example, they had seen the corpses of slaves who died under the car city, and they dug out a few catties of arrows alone!

"What difference does it make if Nanyu is strong or not! In today's world, only the strong can live. Besides, the army in the country is coming, are you still afraid of the southern captives? I have made up my mind, when the army arrives later, I will definitely throw myself into the account of the King of Zhongshan, that is the demeanor of a big husband! ”

The Sofu said with a smile of yearning.

As they were in the middle of the line, the front team suddenly slowed down, and the slaves were furious when they noticed that they had to make a military dispatch once, and if they missed the deadline, they would be punished heavily. Because of the procrastination of the commander, the return date is approaching, and if the itinerary is slow, you can only travel overnight, and you don't even have a chance to rest.

The slaves were about to rush into the ranks again to kill and drive away, when suddenly a herald came galloping in front of them, saying that the team was suspended and rested for a while. Hearing this order, the grumbling could not help but rise again. There are even a few unruly slave soldiers who can't bear it, and they want to find the commander of the army to theorize immediately. They no longer expect credit for their trip, but they don't want to be punished either.

Several slave soldiers, including Nasov, rushed to the middle of the procession, and saw the captain of the soldier standing near the grain cart by the roadside, and several laborers pulling the cart standing opposite, as if they were theorizing. Everyone came up to listen, and it turned out that those laborers were forced to distribute food to the villagers, otherwise they would rather die than move forward.

"It's not easy to die? Now I will reward you ** disciples with a different body! ”

Nasov laughed out loud when he heard the plea of the servants, and it was ridiculous that they had to be threatened by such a group of lowly servants, and thus he was even more disdainful of the commander who was actually frowning and groaning.

As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted, drew his sword, and marched straight to the front of a servant of about twenty years old, who stood at the forefront, and raised his sword to slash. However, with his action, instead of being fearless, the force soldier took a step forward, and at the same time, seven or eight people around him also stepped forward in unison, as if they had put life and death out of the way.

"Presumptuous! Is there a place for you to speak? ”

The lord of the building, who was in his forties, frowned and shouted angrily when he saw Sov come forward, and at the same time the two overseers beside him also stepped forward, looking quite unkind. Seeing this, Sof could only retreat, although there was a lot of resentment in his heart, but he did not dare to openly disobey the order, otherwise he would have no reason to die on the spot.

"Liu Erlang, I respect you for not being afraid of death, you are bloody, but it is absolutely impossible for one person to eclipse three liters! I can only give one liter, and I have to do it to the full extent every day. I won't hide it from you, my department is about to overdue, if it is delayed any longer, I myself will be punished, and there is no need to entangle with you again, so I simply directly beheaded a few of you here, so that our soldiers dismantled the horses and consignments. ”

Hearing the words of the lord of the building, the young servant who was called Liu Erlang was about to open his mouth to fight, and a middle-aged man on the side had already stopped him a little, and then said: "One liter is fine, please ask the general to immediately release the grain and let the villagers cook." If we can't make it all tomorrow, we are willing to be punished! ”

When the lord heard this, his face improved, and then he pointed to Liu Erlang and said, "You are a rare strong man, it would be a pity if you only worked hard." Would you like to come under my command and sacrifice your life for a future? ”

After Liu Erlang heard this, he said: "This time I violated the ban, I know that I will die, and the general appreciates and gives me my life, how dare I not obey." ”

When the owner heard this, he laughed, and then asked the soldiers to measure the rice.

After being reprimanded, the slave soldier Sov retreated to the rear, and when he saw this scene, his demeanor was even more unkind, and he said angrily to a few people beside him: "This lord is cowardly and hypocritical, in the old years, I sacrificed my life for him to take credit, but he insulted me to my face!" If there is a battle in the coming day, I will take advantage of the chaos to kill him! ”

This Sov was quite a brave man in the brigade, so there was no shortage of people in the army, and when he said this, several people around him should agree.

Because Liu Erlang and others sacrificed their lives to threaten, and the owner of the Karma slave building was worried that he would have to compromise if he missed the date, he finally gave this group of refugees a little respite, and one of them got a liter of rations.

This grain was supposed to be the subsistence ration saved by their hard work, but now it was conscripted by the slave soldiers, and it was only in this tragic way that they could get a small bite or two to survive. But even so, there are still people crying with joy, and they are also grateful to Liu Erlang and others who cost their lives.

After drinking the soup, the group hit the road again, and the speed was a little faster. This made the faces of the slave soldiers who had not been very good-looking only slightly better, only the slave soldier Sofu had a bad face, cruising outside the team, occasionally glaring at Liu Erlang and others who were struggling to pull the cart, and occasionally looking at the owner of the building in front of him with gloomy eyes.

At this time, more than a dozen knights suddenly appeared on the road ahead, looking at it from a distance, looking at the style of their clothes and armor, it was definitely not the army from the north, it should be the scout from the south.

"Quickly intercept and kill these enemy scouts, and don't get away from our army's whereabouts and attract most of the enemy army!"

Seeing this, the lord of the building had changed greatly, and directly instructed the nearby Sofu and the others to say.

In the past, Nasov was brave in such a situation, but this time he was resentful, and it was not until the lord of the building reprimanded him that he howled, and led dozens of slaves to rush towards the other party.

The scout on the other side was bold, and instead of immediately retreating, he rushed around the flank of the team, and even narrowed the distance, as if to get a clear idea of the details of the team.

"Nanyu Hugh go!"

Nasov shouted fiercely, but he did not drive his horsepower, and after shouting, he whispered to the people beside him: "Since the southern captives have come here, there will be a follower near them." These people will be hard to preserve, and even if we return to the town safely, we will be punished. The position of the lord of the building is definitely not guaranteed, are you willing to leave the battle alone with me later, and then hunt elsewhere to atone for your sins? ”

After hearing this, everyone agreed, even if some people were still hesitant, but when they saw that the comrades around them looked like tigers and wolves, they were all busy nodding.

At this time, the owner of the rear building had already driven the refugees to move into the nearby dense forest, leaving dozens of people to restrain the guards, and he led more than 100 others to gather some Ding Zhuang in the team, ready to flee from the formation and abandon the people at any time.

Liu Erlang and more than a dozen other laborers were naturally also among the slave soldiers, one holding a bamboo gun, in front of the clearing outside the forest.

"Ah Lang, what will I do later?"

These dozen people, all headed by Liu Erlang, all turned to look at him at this time.

Liu Erlang clenched the bamboo gun in his hand and said in a low voice: "Good body, An can be used by slaves!" Let's see if the king will kill later, if the real king is here, gather the township to protect and save in person. If not, you can only commit yourself to slavery first, and you can't abandon the villagers to thieves......"
