Chapter 297: Slave Camp
The light in the big tent was getting darker, but it was already night, and the dry wood in the fire pit was crackling, and from time to time sparks collapsed, and suddenly the erected firewood lost its support, and the ground collapsed with a bang, and the fire in the fire pit suddenly dimmed.
With a faint sigh, Qingfeng gently pushed away Li Qing**'s strong body, found his clothes from the ground, and slowly put them on, Li Qing lay on the carpet, supported his head with his elbows, and looked at Qingfeng's graceful figure with a smile.
Sitting on the edge of the fire, picking up the tongs, setting up the firewood one by one, letting the fire burn stronger again, turning around, his face was flushed with red clouds, his slender feet stretched out, kicked Li Qing's clothes in front of him, and said angrily: "Don't get up yet?" ”
Li Qing smiled, put on his clothes in three or two, sat down beside Qingfeng, took the wine glass, poured two glasses of wine, handed a glass to Qingfeng, and took a sip. Qingfeng played with the wine glass, looked at the firelight intently, and said faintly for a while: "The matter of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, do you really know that it will be the princess of the city?" ”
Li Qinghe laughed, knowing that Qingfeng's words at this time were just to lead the topic to Allure and block all the news about the apocalypse, a large part of the reason was to prevent Allure from knowing, so as not to affect the morale of the Dingzhou army.
"Qingfeng, you and I share joys and sorrows, share weal and woe, and know each other, you don't have to think too much, I know it in my heart. You won't be at a loss. Li Qing said sincerely.
Qingfeng smiled slightly, but did not answer, took a sip of wine, and said, "Bayan Kala is not easy to fight, right?" Is the general fighting or sleepy? ”
"Bayankala City is well defended and has sufficient troops, if we fight hard, we will pay a great price, which I do not want to see, which will affect our strategy in Dingzhou in the next few years, so I am ready to fight first and then be trapped." Li Qingdao.
Qingfeng nodded, "In this process, the problem of the Murowei people should also be solved, pacifying the barbarians, but it will make the Murowei family dominant, which is not in the interests of our Dingzhou." ”
"So, you went to Fusen!" Li Qing turned his head and looked at Qingfeng.
"Fu Sen is a person who understands, the barbarian trend is gone, if he doesn't know the current affairs, I'm afraid that we will deal with him when we turn around after we clean up Bayar, how can a smart person like this do stupid things, so, I will bring back General Lu Dabing, it's just a matter of course."
Li Qingdao: "What else did you say to him?" ”
Qingfeng smiled, "I asked him to reorganize the army, saying that the marshal will be able to use his troops in a short time." ”
Li Qing raised his glass to Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, it's a pity that you are a daughter, otherwise with your foresight, you will definitely achieve a great career!" I'm lucky to have you. ”
"My career is the general's business. The general's career is the driving force for my struggle. "The breeze drank the wine in the glass in one gulp." General, it's getting late, it's time for you to go back. ”
Li Qing was silent for a moment and stood up, "Qingfeng, when are you going back to Dingzhou?" ”
Qingfeng didn't look up, stared at the blazing fire, and said faintly: "Tomorrow, I'll go back tomorrow." ”
A cool breeze blew behind him, and Qingfeng's shoulders shrank slightly, as if he was overwhelmed by the cold. With a bang, the freshly erected firewood collapsed and splashed sparks.
I don't know when, Zhong Jing walked into the tent, looking at the thin back of the breeze, his eyes were full of pity.
"Zhong Jing, I competed with Huzi today, but who won?" Qingfeng suddenly spoke.
"Ahh Zhong Jing, who was thinking about his thoughts, suddenly heard Qingfeng's question, but did not react for a while, looked at Qingfeng's turned face, and said: "This tamping kung fu is gradually improving, and it took a lot of effort to win him, and he was punched by me, and half of his face was swollen!" Zhong Jing chuckled.
Qingfeng also stood up with a smile, "Zhong Jing, go out for a walk with me!" ”
"Miss, forget it, it's very cold outside, and what's there to see in the barracks?" Zhong Jing said.
"Stay here, get out for a walk, get some fresh air!" Qingfeng reached out and picked up the cloak from the ground and wrapped it around his body.
It was already dark, and in front of the neat tent, the torches were also neatly arranged, and they were burning to the core, and under the gusts of cold wind, the flames flickered left and right, and the figures on the ground were stretched out. Except for the sound of guards and patrolling soldiers moving around, the whole camp was extremely quiet.
Along the road between the camps, the breeze wandered aimlessly, Zhong Jing silently accompanied her, looking at the face of the breeze under the light of the fire, Zhong Jing couldn't help but feel distressed.
The sound of footsteps behind him sounded, and when Zhong Jing looked back, he saw Wang Yan hurrying over, "Director Qingfeng!" Walking up to Qingfeng, Wang Yan saluted respectfully.
"General Wang, I'm just walking around, you don't have to accompany me." The breeze is faintly authentic.
Wang Yan said with a smile: "Anyway, there is no official business at this time, and it is too early to sleep, but it is also my blessing to be able to accompany the director for a walk!" ”
Qingfeng smiled slightly, Wang Yan had a sense of gratitude to herself, and she naturally knew it. However, Wang Yan can have today's achievements, but it is also inseparable from his own efforts, there is no near-death battle of Bai Mountain, I am afraid that he will not be able to get ahead until now, even so, Wang Yan is now only temporarily appointed to the Changsheng Battalion, and now that Lu Dabing is back, he will presumably still return to the Changsheng Battalion as the chief officer, and Wang Yan can only be relegated to the deputy. Presumably in Shang Haibo's place, Wang Yan was definitely included in his sphere of influence.
In that case, it is not necessary to push people outside.
The three of them walked silently in the camp, and suddenly there was a noise in the distance, and the breeze was slightly surprised, and looked back at Wang Yan.
"Oh, Director Qingfeng, next to my camp is a slave camp, which is full of slaves who have escaped from all over the grassland, and we have gathered them together and are preparing to let them return to Dingzhou with the logistics transportation!"
"Slaves!" Qingfeng muttered, "Let's go and have a look!" ”
"Director, don't go!" Wang Yan stopped: "It's very chaotic in there, the conditions are very poor, and it's just some escaped slaves, and there's nothing to look at." ”
Qingfeng didn't make a sound, just walked forward, Wang Yan wanted to persuade again, but saw Zhong Jing suddenly turned around and stared at her fiercely, Wang Yan woke up, isn't Director Qingfeng a slave anymore? A cold sweat suddenly broke out on his body, and he quickly closed his mouth, followed the footsteps of the breeze, and walked all the way to the slave camp.
The slave camps were haphazardly nailed together with fences of rags, animal skins, and straw tied up, barely to keep out the cold wind. The snow and ice in the camp had been shoveled away, but too many people had made the ground muddy, the drier places were covered with a layer of hay, and countless slaves who had been described as withered sat silently together, keeping each other warm by their body temperatures. There was a fire burning in the camp, but compared to so many people, those small fires did not do anything at all.
"On such a cold day, under such conditions, aren't you afraid of freezing to death?" Qingfeng frowned and said, "Since I saved them, I want them to survive!" ”
Wang Yan smiled bitterly: "Director, you don't know, we are now nearly 200,000 troops gathered here, the logistical pressure is extremely great, these slaves continue to come from everywhere, more and more people, that is, they can have a bowl of porridge to drink every day, and the accumulation is also a great number, and now they can only barely hang their lives, and when they return to Dingzhou, they will be fine." ”
Qingfeng stopped, looked at Wang Yan, and said, "General Wang, send someone to burn a few more fires for them, boil a little more hot water, if you can boil a little ginger soup, it will be better!" ”
"Don't worry, Director, this can be done, I'll let someone do it immediately!" Wang Yan said with a smile.
Slowly passing through those slaves, Qingfeng couldn't help but be in a trance, time passed, and it seemed that he had suddenly returned to the Angu tribe a few years ago, and his body shook and almost fell to the ground. Zhong Jing was startled, and stretched out his hand to hold Qingfeng, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Qingfeng's face turned pale, he froze, and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing!" Let's go back! Turning around, she suddenly felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her behind her, and a feeling of stabbing in her back made her turn around, and in her sight, a large group of slaves were looking at her in fear, and several slaves lowered their heads, and their bodies trembled slightly.
Qingfeng showed a look of surprise in his eyes, turned his head, and said to Zhong Jing, "Let's go back!" ”
Zhong Jing held Qingfeng and walked back slowly, Wang Yan was careful to accompany him, just now it must have been Director Qingfeng who remembered the unbearable years in the past and was stimulated.
"Wang Yan!" Qingfeng stopped.
"Director!"
"Did you notice the direction I was looking in just now?" Qingfeng asked.
Wang Yan nodded, "Well, I see, it's just a group of slaves, Director, what's wrong?" ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Qingfeng's mouth, "I met an acquaintance!" You quietly sent someone to keep a firm eye on them for me, well, forget it, Zhong Jing, Wang Yan's subordinates are not very good at these things, you let our people do it, and let General Wang's subordinates cooperate. ”
"Yes, Miss, I'll arrange it right away!" Zhong Jing nodded in response.
"Director, what's wrong, is there a spy infiltrating the slave camp?" Wang Yan suddenly became nervous.
Qingfeng smiled and said, "Spies? That may not be, but since this person appeared, I am afraid that there are a lot of people coming, I didn't call it out just now, I was afraid that we would start here, we don't have the certainty of catching it all, we are understaffed, and there must be a lot of masters among the other party. ”
"You mean the Assassins?" Wang Yan's face turned a little green.
"I'm afraid yes, this person is quite bold, and it's really a bit whimsical. I'll go and wait in the big tent, you keep an eye on her, I think it won't be long before they will take action, the target must be Li Dashuai on the side of the Chinese army camp, you just have to stare at this passage! As soon as they get out of this slave camp, they will arrest me all. Remember, the one who is the leader must live. The breeze commanded.
