Chapter 266: Refugees beg for food

readx;? There were people coming and going in the barracks, everyone's faces were full of nervous and solemn looks, and almost all the remaining banner owners of the Border Guard Mansion were present, and they were very hurried in the big tent of the Chinese army who came and went to Han Xiao, as if they were discussing something important. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As dusk approached, Han Xiao and the others had already begun to leave the camp one after another, heading for different directions in northern Xinjiang.

Sanchun, who had been standing quietly outside his tent door and watching closely the changes in the camp, saw Han Xiao and the others leave the camp, and glanced at them again with a ghostly glance, and under his look, the sergeant who was originally hiding next to his camp tent and was in charge of monitoring them also hurriedly put away his suspicious gaze, so as not to be noticed by Sanchun, but in fact, Lan Chen was secretly monitored, Sanchun had already learned from Hai Lao.

Sanchun pretended to be at a loss, then raised his eyes to look at the sunset hanging in the sky, and then muttered as if to himself: "It's getting late, I don't know when I can eat, I'm really starving......"

As he spoke, Miharu covered his stomach and pouted, turned around and returned to the tent.

At this moment, Lan Chen, who was in the camp tent, with a solemn face, and Hai Lao, who was full of urgency, were sitting opposite each other. Looking at it like this, the two seemed to be arguing about something.

"Childe ......" Sanchun called out with a sneer, and then grinned, "Hai Lao really didn't guess wrong, they must have made some moves tonight, just now I saw that even Han Xiao personally took people out!"

"All the flag masters under the self-study dust of the Border Guard Mansion have all come out of the camp, why didn't they call me?" Lan Chen muttered to himself.

"Childe, don't you still understand?" Hai Lao's expression at the moment was extremely anxious, "Han Xiao and Xi Chen can't trust you anymore, they are on guard against you, so not only do they send people to watch out for you everywhere, but they will ignore you even if they make any moves!"

"Smack!"

Lan Chen was angry when he heard this, and suddenly waved his hand and slapped the bookcase, the huge force shook the teacups on the bookcase, and the tea was poured out instantly, and then Lan Chen's face changed with anger. Although he already knew about Lan Shixun's disloyal intentions, in fact, he had not done anything to be sorry for the Holy Domain Emperor during this period of time, and Hai Lao had also persuaded him to go to the Northern Xinjiang camp several times to give orders to Chu Lingtian, but Lan Chen prevaricated for various reasons, in the end, he still helped the Border Guard Mansion and Han Xiao a lot in the middle, how could Han Xiao and Xi Chen not only appreciate it now, but also treat him like this, how could Lan Chen not be angry?

"What am I sorry for them, they want to do this to me?" Lan Chen shouted angrily.

"Childe, why do you still want to be with Han Xiao, Xi Chen and the others today?" Hai Lao persuaded in disbelief, "Don't forget, you promised me to conspire with Lord Lan for a great cause......"

"I know!" Lan Chen's gaze suddenly shot out two rays of light, and then he stared at Hai Lao tightly, a touch of scrutiny appeared in his eyes, and he asked word by word, "Hai Lao, you tell me first, Lu Yifan's camp was attacked by the beast clan a month ago, does this matter have anything to do with my father and you?"

Lan Chen's words made Hai Lao stunned, and his heart suddenly 'chuckled', because from beginning to end, he had never mentioned to Lan Chen about joining forces with the beast clan, because he knew Lan Chen's temperament, and Lan Shixun was forced to be helpless, and it was okay to try to rebel when he couldn't bear it, but if he united with foreign clans to deliberately rebel in an attempt to overthrow the emperor, it was a completely different matter. Therefore, Lan Shixun had secretly instructed Hai Lao that when explaining the facts to Lan Chen, he could only lead the emperor to be mediocre, and never mention the matter of the beast clan.

Although Hai Lao had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he was immobile on the surface, only to see his eyes roll slightly, and then he made a blank look, and asked suspiciously: "What does this mean, Childe? The beast clan and the border guard mansion are feuds, why is this related to Lord Lan?"

"Then why didn't you allow me to bring someone to rescue them that night?" Lan Chen asked, "No wonder Han Xiao and Xi Chen are suspicious of me, even I can't say it myself based on this alone!"

"Childe, do you want to know how many people from the Beast Clan came that night? Even if we dozens, even if we go, we will just be sent to death!"

"Then why did they only beat Lu Yifan and not us?"

"What are the people of the Beast Domain doing, how can I guess why?" Faced with Lan Chen's repeated questions, Hai Lao could only make an innocent look, and shook his head at Lan Chen with a face full of grievances.

"Alas!" When Feng said this, Lan Chen could only sigh slowly, the look in his eyes was even more complicated, and his heart was obviously still hesitating.

"Childe, Han Xiao has arrived now, if you continue to delay and refuse to go to the Northern Xinjiang camp, I am afraid that I will ......"

"Dare to ask Lan Chen's banner master if he is in the tent?" At this moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded outside the tent door, and under Lan Chen's consent, I saw a sergeant walk in quickly.

"What are you looking for me?" Lan Chen looked at the sergeant with a slight frown, obviously not guessing his intentions in his heart.

"A group of refugees who have fled here outside the camp want to beg for food in the camp, but they can't be driven away! But now that the generals in the barracks have gone out, and the general Qianhu said that dealing with these refugees should be the duty of the border guard office, not the responsibility of my army, so let me ask the Lanchen banner lord what he meant!" the sergeant said bluntly.

"Refugees?" Lan Chen frowned, he was already upset, and he was even more irritable when he heard this, and then waved his hand impatiently and said, "What do these people have to do with me?

"Wait a minute!" Just as the sergeant was about to receive the order, Hai Lao, who was sitting next to him, suddenly opened his mouth, only to see him look at the sergeant with a smile on his face, and said kindly, "It's also pitiful for these refugees to be displaced, they are also people from the Holy Realm, and I can't bear to see them starve to death and decay, so why don't you let me bring some dry food and distribute it to them outside the door!

"Hai Lao, these people ......"

"Childe, how can you bear the same root and the same heart?" Without waiting for Lan Chen to object, Hai Lao took the lead in his words, and looking at Hai Lao's resolute look, Lan Chen seemed to understand something.

"Go, go, go!" Finally, Lan Chen still compromised.

Outside the barracks, forty or fifty ragged refugees were kneeling in the wilderness with a wail, a scene that looked unusually poignant in the twilight. These refugees are men and women, old and young, but most of them are hungry and have blank eyes. Everyone was extremely sloppy, their hair was unkempt, their faces were covered with smudges, there was no clean place on their bodies, and there was even a foul smell, so the sergeants who were guarding them stood far away, covering their noses and looking at these dirty refugees with disgust.

Hai Lao took Sanchun and several entourages each holding a pot of dry cakes and a pot of water in their hands, and walked out slowly, and when they saw the food in their hands, these refugees rushed over, and the unprepared sergeants could only shout loudly and retreat one after another, as if they were afraid that the fleas on these refugees would contaminate themselves.

"Hehe, a few military masters might as well avoid it for the time being, these refugees just want to stutter, old man, I will send them away after I take these entourages to give them food!" Hai Lao walked to a total thousand households and smiled kindly.

"It's fine, but I beg Hai Lao not to let these refugees break into the camp, or I will kill you!" When the chief Qianhu heard that Hai Lao was going to take over the matter, even though he readily agreed, and then did not forget to tell him, he left the wilderness with a group of sergeants and hurried back to the camp.

Umi stood there quietly watching Miharu and them give out cakes to these refugees, his eyes wandering back and forth among the refugees, as if he was looking for something.

"This old man Bodhisattva has a heart, he will definitely have a good reward in the future!"

Suddenly, a young man covered in mud and unkempt hair slowly walked up to Hai Lao's side, holding a dry cake in his hand, and nodded and said.

Although this young man looked sloppy, his figure was quite strong and burly, and when he looked closely, his eyes were shining, his lips were red and white, and although his face was dirty, it was still difficult to describe his handsome real face, which could not be compared with those hungry, skinny real refugees.

"Xuanfang?" As soon as Hai Lao saw this person, he let out a small exclamation in surprise.

Yes, this person is Xuan Fang, that is, the famous elder of Xuanzong who once reunited with Xuan Zheng in the Hu San Tavern in Jinling City after a long absence, and drank in the dark.

"Hai Lao!" Xuan Fang seemed to have great respect for Hai Lao, and after Hai Lao recognized his identity, Xuan Fang immediately wanted to kneel down and salute, but was held up in time by Hai Lao, who was quick to see him.

"Come on, come on, drink a bowl of water, don't choke!" Hai Lao first looked around, and then said loudly with a pretended kindness in his mouth, and handed a bowl of water in his hand to Xuan Fang, "Xuan Fang, why are you here?"

"Hai Lao, where is Yi'er?" Xuan Fang asked anxiously in a whisper.

"I don't know!" Hai Lao kept probing around with his spare eyes, and then whispered, "After she returned from me a month ago, I secretly contacted Mrs. Zhao in an attempt to kill Lu Yifan that night according to the consultation with her! It's a pity that Lu Yifan was finally rescued by Xi Chen, and instead of dying, he killed Mrs. Zhao! As for Yi'er, I suspect that she has revealed her identity in front of Lu Yifan, so I don't know where to hide!"

"This ......" Xuan Fang seemed to care about Ji Yi'er's safety, so as soon as he heard Hai Lao's words, the worry in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Don't talk about that yet, don't tell me you ventured here just to find her?" Hai Lao looked at Xuan Fang with a frown.

"Of course not!" Xuan Fang's expression was straight, and he hurriedly explained, "I have something important to tell Hai Lao, the Jinling City Leader sent Han Xiao to lead an army of 50,000 to Northern Xinjiang to preside over the overall situation!"

"Nonsense!" Hai Lao shouted angrily, "The military camp is behind me, and you are talking to me about this now?"

"Don't worry, Hai Lao, listen to me!" Xuan Fang continued, "Actually, the Emperor didn't fully believe Han Xiao, because just as he sent Han Xiao to the Northern Frontier to quell the trouble, he secretly instructed the King of Shengdong to send a group of masters to secretly infiltrate the Northern Frontier, and try to capture a few people from the Beast Domain alive and bring them back to Jinling City, and the Emperor will personally interrogate them!"

"Oh?" Xuan Fang's words made Hai Lao's eyes light up suddenly, and then he said with a smile on his face, "It seems that Chu Lingtian's letter still played some role!

"That's good!" Xuan Fang said quickly, "so I think we can ...... among them."

"Where did you get this news?" Hai Lao suddenly changed his words and asked in a condensed voice.

"Do you remember Xuan Zheng?"

"Xuanzheng?" Hai Lao pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Is that the kid who once joined the sect with you?"

"That's good!" Xuan Fang nodded and smiled, "Xuan Zheng is now working under the command of the Holy East King, and among the masters who came to the Northern Frontier to take people this time, Xuan Zheng is one of them!"

"Hiss!" Xuan Fang said this, and Hai Laodang was even so shocked that he gasped.

"Good! Very good! Excellent!" After being surprised, Hai Lao took it to heart, and said three "good" words in a row.

Xuan Fang didn't say much, just stuffed a few mouthfuls of dry cakes into his mouth, pretending to be trembling, and quietly waited for the contemplative Hai Lao to make a decision.

"Xuanfang, there is something I may want to trouble you to run for yourself!" Hai Lao's eyes flashed, and he said suddenly.

"What?"

"You immediately go to the Northern Xinjiang camp and tell Chu Lingtian the news. I am being watched everywhere now, and I am trapped in Han Xiao's camp and cannot enter and leave freely, but Chu Lingtian has a way to contact the people of the Dao Beast Domain. You tell him, I mean to let him find the person who is now in charge of the powerhouse of the beast domain, and tell them the news of the emperor's secret investigation of this matter, so that they can ......" The more Hai Lao spoke, the quieter his voice became, and finally he had already whispered a few words quickly in Xuan Fang's ear, and Xuan Zheng was after hearing Hai Lao's words, his originally puzzled face suddenly raised a trace of indescribable smug smile.

"Okay! worthy of Hai Lao, this method is very wonderful!" Xuan Zheng nodded excitedly. "But how do I make Chu Lingtian and them believe in me......"

"You take this!" Hai Lao quietly tore off a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Xuan Fang's hand without leaving a trace, "This is a jade pendant given by Lan Shixun himself, if you hold it, Chu Lingtian will definitely believe you!"

"Good!"

"Without further ado, you can go now!" Hai Lao anxiously urged, "Han Xiao and they are not in the camp tonight, I expect them to make some big moves! If you go late, it will be too late!"

"I'll go now!" Xuan Fang agreed, then turned and quietly disappeared among the refugees, and then retreated into the wilderness.

Hai Lao turned around again and quietly looked at the big camp behind him, a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Han Xiao, Han Xiao, I see how long you can be arrogant in Northern Xinjiang!"
