Chapter 585: Walk Around

"But what if the two of them don't agree with me in the first place?"

"The general can only be prepared to bear any consequences. ”

"You mean light?"

"Does the general think that it will be an easy task for us to go to Qu and Qin Ercheng to collect grain this time?"

"It seems that you also know that there are many difficulties in requisitioning food!"

"According to Li Shuangxi's statement, I see that the city lord of Qucheng has long disappeared without a trace after learning the news of the arrival of our army. ”

"If that's the case, we can bring all the villagers to the city. ”

"Does the general still want to arrange accommodation for them one by one?"

"It's okay, in my opinion, I'm afraid that many people in Qucheng have run away with the city lord, and there are naturally many empty houses. "Thinking about the fact that there are obviously many empty houses in Qucheng, but the city lord of Qucheng does not allow farmers to enter the city, Lin Xuanzhong is naturally angry with the city lord of Qucheng.

"I wonder what the general's next plan is?"

"We can go our separate ways, you are responsible for bringing people together all the villagers who are still alive in the nearby villages, and I am responsible for bringing people to Qucheng to find out the situation. If the situation is as you and I say, I will send someone to inform you, and then you will take the villagers to the city. ”

"The general means he wants me to be in charge of this?"

"I see that Adjutant General Yu is not interested in these things, and it is difficult for other generals to say it, after I take the troops away, the only thing here is to leave it to you!"

"Presumably, the general thinks that Zhang is a bully!"

"Brother Zhang, if you want to think like this, I naturally won't stop you," Lin Xuanzhong finished speaking, and the two of them laughed in unison. In fact, when Zhang Jiutian expressed his attitude just now, Lin Xuanzhong had already thought of countermeasures. Now that Zhang Jiutian asked, Lin Xuanzhong could naturally say it very smoothly.

According to Lin Xuanzhong's guess, since there are villagers in Orchid Village who choose to stay, there should also be people in other villages who have not left, and the people in Orchid Village may have some understanding of this matter, so they can ask them for help.

"General, Li Shuangxi is here," Zhang Jiutian noticed that Li Shuangxi was helping an old man over.

"My lord, this is Hong Lao, the village chief of Orchid Village," Li Shuangxi hurriedly introduced Lin Xuanzhong when he approached.

"Old man see my lord," Immediately after, Elder Hong was about to kneel down to Lin Xuanzhong again. After the dim light, Hong Lao's body trembled, and he even had to be helped by someone to help him, let alone kneel. I don't know if Hong Lao is too old or because he has been in the dark room for too long, seeing that Hong Lao is about to fall, Lin Xuanzhong, who is quick in his eyes, hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him.

"Elder Hong, if you have something to say, just stand and say it. ”

"The old man heard Shuangxi say that the adult is a benevolent and righteous person, so he boldly came to represent the villagers of Orchid Village and begged the adult to help everyone get out of the suffering," Hong Lao was already standing aside with the help of Li Shuangxi.

"Elder Hong, don't you mind that we are from the Night Country?"

"My lord, no matter what country you are from, you are all the people of the Northern Regions, we are all one family, how can you care about your origin. Besides, it has nothing to do with the adults to let the old man and the villagers suffer this catastrophe, the old man wants to be grateful to the adult It's too late, where do you dare to dislike the identity of the adult," Hong Lao said a lot in one breath, and then gasped sharply, obviously it was difficult to even speak normally now.

"My lord, Hong Lao is sincere, you may not be able to abandon us villagers, as long as the adults are willing to help the villagers, from now on, the little ones are willing to serve the adults for life, and there will be no complaints. Li Shuangxi knelt down directly for Lin Xuanzhong as he spoke, and kept kowtowing to Lin Xuanzhong, making Lin Xuanzhong embarrassed.

"Brother Li, get up quickly, I didn't say I wouldn't help you," while helping Hong Lao, he also had to talk to Li Shuangxi, Lin Xuanzhong had a feeling that he couldn't be busy, but Zhang Jiutian was still standing next to him, neither speaking nor coming to help, like an idler.

"Thank you, sir," after receiving Lin Xuanzhong's reply, Li Shuangxi bowed three times in a row before standing up with a smile, "Elder Hong, with the help of adults, everyone has been saved." Under the emotion, Li Shuangxi did not forget to remind Hong Lao.

"Old man is here to thank the villagers for their kindness," Hong Lao was also very excited at this time, and as soon as he finished speaking, he gasped violently, almost not breathing, but Lin Xuanzhong was taken aback. Anyway, the thanks of the two made Lin Xuanzhong happy. Now that the two of them have been promised, they only need to follow the method discussed with Zhang Jiutian just now.

"You go to see if Deputy General Yu has asked General Wang to arrange a place for Hong Lao and them, and I will go to the village for a walk," turned around and explained to Zhang Jiutian, Lin Xuanzhong looked at Hong Lao and Li Shuangxi and said: "If Hong Lao is in good health, you might as well take me for a walk in the village, and by the way, tell me about the situation in other villages." ”

"Okay, my lord, please," under the condition that Lin Xuanzhong had always been friendly, Hong Lao's emotions were finally not as excited as just now, and he took out a few points of the village chief's style.

Then, with the help of Li Shuangxi, Hong Lao took Lin Xuanzhong around the village, and kept introducing Lin Xuanzhong to the situation of Orchid Village and the surrounding villages. Not only Orchid Village, but also the location and number of people in other villages are very clear. Hong Lao is over seventy years old, and he is naturally very clear about the surrounding situation, and when he talks about the recent situation, Hong Lao's face shows a little sadness, and his voice becomes heavy.

The situation of Orchid Village and other villages is changing too quickly, even if it is just an outsider, Lin Xuanzhong will inevitably be sad when he hears those bad things happen. It's a pity that the past has happened, and now all Lin Xuanzhong can do is to gather all the surviving villagers in Shili Eight Villages, and then make plans.

During the period when Hong Lao and Li Shuangxi accompanied Lin Xuanzhong around, because Lin Xuanzhong's white hair was the best identification, no soldiers came forward to investigate. Now it was dark, oil lamps had been lit everywhere, and the whole village was brightly lit.

Smelling the smell of rice, Lin Xuanzhong felt a little hungry, thinking that Hong Lao and Li Shuangxi might be very hungry, so he took the two of them back directly. I don't know how General Xing and their harvest were, now food is a problem, because before coming, only three days' rations were given above. It is conceivable that once the rations are eaten, Lin Xuanzhong and they must be self-sufficient.

If the grain and grass cannot be collected after arriving in Qucheng, then the grain and grass in the army is really a problem, so in terms of whether Xing Hu can hunt fierce beasts, Lin Xuanzhong is very concerned.

Not long after, when the three of them returned to their original place, Yu Tong and Zhang Jiutian were already waiting there.

"General, General Wang has arranged two rooms for the villagers in that location according to your wishes, now do you want to take them over," After seeing Lin Xuanzhong, the first thing Yu Tong said was what Lin Xuanzhong had just explained.

"Deputy General Lao Yu will take them there," nodding at Yu Tong, Lin Xuanzhong turned to look at Li Shuangxi and said, "Brother Li, you go with the villagers, and I'll go to see you later." ”

"Thank you, sir," Li Shuangxi thanked him and helped Hong Lao back to the villagers' team. At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong looked at the villagers again, all of them still had a worried look on their faces, and they looked like they were still worried about their own safety. Looking back, if the night army hadn't come today, their fate would have been horrific.

After a while, his eyes stopped on the two little boys, and Lin Xuanzhong's eyes were a little more worried, and he didn't know what kind of situation they would face in the future.

After the villagers left, Lin Xuanzhong stopped in place for a long time before slowly turning around and saying to Zhang Jiutian, "Let's go to General Wang's place to have a look." ”

"Well," Zhang Jiutian nodded and walked in front to lead Lin Xuanzhong, followed by six guards.

Not long after, when he came to the temporary general's hall set up by Wang Yiyao, Lin Xuanzhong saw that Wang Yiyao was busy under his command. Looking at it again, this so-called temporary general's hall is only three tiled houses, but it is located in the middle of the entire Orchid Village.

"General Lin, you're here," Seeing Lin Xuanzhong and Zhang Jiutian coming in, out of courtesy, Wang Yi shouted and greeted.

"General Wang, can the issue of food and accommodation be arranged?"

"Commander Lin can rest assured that everything has been arranged. In addition, I have arranged for 200 soldiers to take turns to keep vigil so that most of them can rest normally. ”

"Okay," Lin Xuanzhong nodded and asked, "Has General Xing come back?"

"It's not early, General Xing should be on the way back. However, General Xing had already ordered someone to send back the two fierce beast corpses before, and now he was busy roasting meat below. When the beast meat is roasted, it will be sent to the general as soon as possible. ”

"Have the soldiers below already arranged to eat?"

"It's already eating, but there are too few beasts and too many brothers to guarantee that everyone will be able to eat meat. ”

"Let's leave it like this for the time being, and we'll talk about the rest when our army arrives in Qucheng tomorrow. ”

"The general has heard that Guide Li said that the city lord of Qucheng has made a lot of money, does the general think that tomorrow's trip will be smooth?"

"This matter will not be known until we arrive in Qucheng, it is getting late today, and it is not good for me to send a sentinel to the city to check again. ”

"Did the general ever think about what I would do if the situation was bad?"

"The situation in Qucheng is not something we can decide, let's talk about it later. I wanted to talk to Wang Yiyao about the villagers, but who thought that Wang Yiyao would not open the pot and which pot to mention, which made Lin Xuanzhong not talk much.

"Earlier, I heard from Adjutant General Yu that the general had rescued some villagers, and ordered his subordinates to arrange two accommodations for them, I don't know what the general's plans are?" After Wang Yiyi showed Lin Xuanzhong from the side that the current situation was not good, he saw that Lin Xuanzhong did not react much, so he had to directly mention the matter of those villagers.

"Seeing death and not saving, Ben Jiang can't bear it, presumably General Wang must have felt that Ben General's approach was inappropriate. ”
