Chapter 86: Drought
Their eyes made Mo Xuanyin feel a little strange, so he thought about one of the old men and asked, "Uncle, where is there a place to rest in this village."
The old man pointed to the inn not far away, Mo Xuanyin saw that the other party was pitiful, so he gave a piece of broken silver, and then led people into the inn.
"Boss, if there is anything delicious, take it out and say hello! And the horses that greeted us. Without waiting for Mo Xuanyin to speak, I saw the soldiers on the side start shouting inside.
Mo Xuanyin originally wanted to persuade them, but seeing that they hadn't slept all night to hunt him down, he still wanted to treat them well.
As for Lin Yiliu, Mo Xuanyin didn't have to worry, because he knew that she wanted to go back to her hometown now, and as for Lanling Kingdom, she didn't complete the task, so it was estimated that she wouldn't go back, so he wasn't worried.
Even, he didn't think about putting her to death, but he had to think of another way to deal with the emperor's affairs.
At this time, I saw Xiao Er take out the good food for a long time, and Mo Xuanyin found at this time that Xiao Er's eyes looked at the food, and even the surrounding villagers were attracted because of the fragrance of the food.
"Your Highness, are they...," the soldier on the side reminded.
Looking at their eyes, Mo Xuanyin was a little puzzled, so he stood up.
"Xiao Er, prepare steamed buns and water for us, you can eat them if you want." Mo Xuanyin said.
When Xiao Er heard this, he immediately complied, and the soldiers on the side were immediately dumbfounded.
"Your Royal Highness, will this be..."
"Looking at their appearance, it should be a long time since they have eaten enough, and they look at you like this, it is estimated that you can't eat, we are soldiers, what's wrong with eating steamed buns?" Mo Xuanyin asked.
At this time, Xiao Er took out the steamed buns, and Mo Xuanyin immediately called people to the side, only to see Xiao Er greet the villagers.
Looking at them like this, Mo Xuanyin felt that although the people in this village were poor, they were very harmonious, which was really rare.
"What happened in your village?" Mo Xuanyin asked.
At this time, the shopkeeper said with some embarrassment: "Actually, our village was originally very prosperous, but later because of the drought, we had no way to farm, and the robbers were rampant, so we had no choice." ”
When he heard the robbers, Mo Xuanyin couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect that this time he would encounter such a thing.
"Old man, don't worry, we are soldiers of the South Vietnamese country, please don't worry about the bandits, we will help you deal with them." Mo Xuanyin said.
Hearing that they could help them, the villagers immediately knelt down, "Thank you so much, if you can help us drive away the bandits, we will promise anything." ”
Looking at their excited expressions, Mo Xuanyin seemed to understand the pain that they were already suffering from the harassment of the robbers.
At this time, Mo Xuanyin also understood from their mouths that in addition to them, there were also several villages where there was such a situation, which made him suddenly understand that there were many things he had to do.
Just as they were going out, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and Mo Xuanyin looked at it and saw more than a dozen naked sweaters, led by a man with a scar on his chest.
"Oh? It seems that there is a bumper harvest this time, but I didn't expect to meet officers and soldiers, and there is a very good-looking dress, is it Brother Gongzi? ”
"Boss, it seems that we have a bumper harvest this time, looking at this son, the family should be very rich, it's better to..."
At this time, I saw that the robber companions around him laughed, especially some people, looking at Mo Xuanyin's eyes, it seemed that they had seen the fanaticism of gold and silver.
Mo Xuanyin was suddenly a little helpless, because he only brought a few soldiers over, and the villagers behind him were also worried that it would affect him, so they hid in their homes.
"Little ones, I'll deal with them, you hurry up and let me in, take what you can take, and the women can do it, hahaha..."
Seeing the boss giving orders like this, the relationship was already a habit of grabbing, Mo Xuanyin immediately walked over and said, "What do you have to do at me, I am the prince of Nanyue Kingdom, how can I allow Er and other bandits to be presumptuous?" ”
The people around laughed after hearing Mo Xuanyin's words, "What? You're actually the platform of the South Vietnamese Kingdom? No kidding. ”
At this time, the surrounding bandit companions also laughed, and seemed to believe what Mo Xuanyin said.
"Your Royal Highness, they are now outnumbered, why don't we go back first, and then bring troops over to destroy them." The soldier on the side suggested.
Mo Xuanyin also felt that it made sense, but at this time, the people behind him looked at them one after another, as if their eyes were full of expectation.
"No, if we leave like this, they'll be plundered by bandits, and do you think they'll let us go?" Mo Xuanyin looked at them and said.
The soldier turned his head and looked at the way the thieves looked at him, and suddenly swallowed, "Your Highness the prince, you will drag them for a while, and you take the opportunity to take down the boss on the other side, so that even if you can't defeat them, you can frustrate their arrogance." ”
Mo Xuanyin also felt that it was very reasonable, but there were only a few of them, and there were more than a dozen of them opposite, if they really fought, there would be no way to represent them all, and it would be a way to capture the thief and capture the king first.
At this time, I saw Mo Xuanyin walking up, "If you can take me away, you can ask for as much as you want, but you have to promise us that if I am captured by you, then you will let go of this village and people from other villages." ”
The bandit leader couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I can promise you to be so righteous for them." ”
At this time, Mo Xuanyin glanced at the people around him, and then walked up by himself, "But I have one condition, that is, your boss will come and fight with me, and if you lose, you will leave for me." ”
At this time, everyone looked at Mo Xuanyin and couldn't help but be a little worried, "His Royal Highness, you are a golden body, if there is anything..."
At this time, Mo Xuanyin interrupted the other party's words, and then walked in front of them.
The people around him couldn't help but laugh when they looked at his thin appearance, and some even bet on how quickly he would lose at the hands of their boss.
The people on Mo Xuanyin's side were sweating, and they were praying for him in their hearts.
"For the sake of you being a son-in-law, I can be a little lighter, and don't say that I didn't take care of you when the time comes."
When the thieves saw him like this, they immediately swung their axes and slashed at him, thinking that they would defeat him as soon as possible.
I saw that Mo Xuanyin immediately took a step forward and kicked the other party's leg, and suddenly lost his center of gravity and cut crookedly.
"What?"
When the bandit leader was puzzled, he saw Mo Xuanyin kick his head, and then kicked him, and the whole person fell to the ground.
And all this, the eyes of people on both sides are worth it, and they seem to be a little unconvinced of what has just happened.
"What? Beat the boss so quickly? ”
"Good!" The people around screamed after watching the bandit boss fall.
At this time, the bandit leader stood up, wiped the blood stains on his mouth and sneered: "Brother Gongzi, I originally wanted to be a little merciful to your subordinates, but since you toast and don't eat and drink, then don't blame me for being unkind!" ”
I saw that the other party burst open and rushed over, Mo Xuanyin looked at his figure, if he was pulled to do labor, it was estimated that he would get twice the result with half the effort, so the shot was suddenly a lot lighter.
After a few moves, Mo Xuanyin basically interfered with the other party, and the punches were basically painless, which made the bandit leader a little confused.
"It's a pity, I originally wanted you to do labor, but looking at your appearance, I guess it won't work."
At this time, the bandit leader felt as if he had been calculated, so he swung his axe and immediately cut it over, Mo Xuanyin retreated, turned around and kicked the other party's leg, and then went around to the back and slashed at the back of the opponent's neck, and after a while, the opponent fell.
The people around looked at the bandit boss on the ground, but they didn't wake up after a while, and they immediately cheered.
"Great, you guys lost!"
Just as the villagers were cheering, I saw that the bandits on the side suddenly seemed to go crazy.
"Let's avenge the boss, rush!"
Seeing them rushing over, Mo Xuanyin immediately stepped forward and solved three people by himself, it turned out that they were not as strong as he imagined, they were just a group of slightly stronger people.
"Alright, you guys hurry up and pack up the people."
The surrounding soldiers immediately went up, Mo Xuanyin patted the dust on his body a little lazily, and at this time, the people around him gathered around to thank him.
"Thank you so much, Your Royal Highness."
"Yes, if it weren't for you, we would really be brothers and sisters this time."
The soldiers behind him also came over and said, "My lord, the bandits have been punished, what should I do?" ”
Mo Xuanyin looked back at them, and at this time, the bandit leader woke up, saw that he was tied up, and couldn't help but shout: "Let go of me, what are you going to do?" Do you know who I am? ”
I saw Mo Xuanyin immediately go over and kick it, and then leave with someone.
Although they had solved the scourge of the bandits, the drought in the village continued, so when he left, he left some money behind, albeit only a drop in the bucket, but he still wanted to help them in his strength.
After returning to the camp, Mo Xuanyin looked at the route map of the canal, and felt a little strange, obviously the emperor should have been very mediocre at that time, why did his canal point to the place where there was a drought?
The next day, Mo Xuanyin himself went to the drought to inspect, and learned from their mouths that their situation had already been reported to the imperial court, which made Mo Xuanyin feel very strange, could it be that the emperor wanted to use this river repair to let these villages permanently solve the drought?
Thinking back to the previous events, Mo Xuanyin was a little unbelievable.
