Gu Shu leaned back in the seat and rubbed his index finger, thoughtful.

Qu Ning didn't dare to say anything beside him, originally thinking that the master couldn't stand it because of the difficult conditions here, but he thought that Gu Shu suddenly said, "Go find a local to go out with your master." ”

"Master, ...... in the city"

"It's not inside the city," Gu Shu got up, with no expression on his face, "It's outside the city." ”

Qu Ning didn't dare to say more, so she had to order her to look for it, and after thinking about it, she found someone to inform the emperor.

The locals were quickly found, and they were the first beggars to rush to Gu Shu and her to ask for them.

A few people left the city and headed straight in a certain direction.

Along the way, the horses' hooves splashed heavy dust and raised a cloud of gray sand.

Gu Shu thought that when he saw those scrawny beggars, he already knew something about the poverty of this small earthen city living in the borderlands.

Unexpectedly, this matter was far less simple than she thought.

Several people stopped in the distance, and when they saw this scene in the loess in the sky, Gu Shu's hand was eager to break the horsewhip he was holding.

The beggar's eyes were full of resentment, and he said to Gu Shu with red eyes, "Aren't you big shots, you don't care about these!" ”

"They're all going to be killed...... My parents' eldest sister was tortured to death by them! Saying that, the beggar cried, still looking at Gu Shu stubbornly, with hatred, "You are the prince, right, you are very powerful, right, you can kill all the people here, so that no one will bully us." ”

Gu Shu pursed his lips, and the green tendons on the back of his hand protruded.

Qu Ning, who was next to him, was shocked by the sudden surge of killing intent on his master's body, and his scalp was numb, and he hurriedly said, "Master, this matter is ...... big."

In the distance, fat officers and soldiers whipped the thin, inhuman-shaped men and women again and again.

Those people tried to dodge and resist, but they were beaten even worse, and blood stains snaked down from under the rags and flowed into the loess wind and sand.

With such great force, Gu Shu, who was watching from afar, seemed to be able to hear the crisp sound of the whip on his skin, hear the miserable shouts of the people, and hear the vicious curses of the officers and soldiers.

There were even officers and soldiers who humiliated the woman in public, and the woman struggled at first, but gradually let the officers and soldiers be in full view as if she had accepted her fate......

"Haha let you scold Lao Tzu, now Lao Tzu will go to ...... Yes! ”

The officer and soldier only felt a pain in his neck, and the lewd and evil expression on his face froze forever.

The woman's body was covered by a robe with body temperature, and a thin but tall figure stood in front of her.

And the officer who had insulted her just now had a line of blood oozing from his neck.

The woman was stunned at first, and suddenly pounced on the dead officer and soldier, and struck him on the head with the iron lock on her wrist, knocking him into a blur of flesh and blood, and then broke down and cried, the cry was terrible and sad.

Qu Ning stood beside Gu Shu, silent as an unsheathed sword.

Gu Shu looked at the officers and soldiers who came over and shouted at her arrogantly, the corners of her mouth slowly hooked a seeping smile, and her words were blown away by the wind, "Break your hands and feet, you have to live." ”

The sword is out of its sheath—

The city guard of the western city is called Gu Bin, who is over forty years old, his body is black and thin, but his eyes are shining.

At this time, he was wearing a patched official uniform, which was extraordinarily wide due to his thin figure, and he said to Qin Cang with guilt, "The emperor asks for forgiveness, the old minister is incompetent, and there is really no way to come up with something decent." ”
