Chapter 266: Heaven is going to die Nanyue
Mu Qingyun was a little surprised to see a hairy little ghost, but when he heard him say this, he immediately burst out laughing.
It turns out that bandits everywhere use this excuse.
"Little Five! Here we go! "After the slope of the woods rushed out a group of men, of all sizes, and the one who spoke looked to be twelve or thirteen years old, and each of them was very thin.
Everyone had knives and swords in their hands, shovels and rakes.
"Ah Da, Ah Da, this time it's two fat sheep, so rich." Xiao Wu turned his head and shouted excitedly to the gang.
Chu Xiaoyan walked to Mu Qingyun's side, and the two glanced at each other.
"Like bandits?" Mu Qingyun asked.
"More like a disaster victim." Chu Xiaoyan frowned and said in a deep voice.
These people don't look like they are martial arts materials, he can clean them up alone, and he is a completely different type from the previous gang of bandits.
There were more than a dozen of them rushing out, all of them men, and the first one was a skinny middle-aged man in his forties, with dark skin.
Holding a large knife in his hand is a little abrupt.
"Two, put down the valuables, and we'll let you go!" Zhang Ada saw Chu Xiaoyan and Mu Qingyun, and after being stunned, he said, but his tone was not too tough.
"You're bandits?" Chu Xiaoyan burst out with a powerful aura, the whole person was majestic and powerful, and his voice was as cold as ice.
Zhang Ada's face changed greatly, and he immediately stretched out his hand and said urgently: "You guys go back." ”
"Ah Da, there are so many of us, can't we beat the two of them? We only want money and food, not their lives. Xiao Wu did not retreat, but stepped forward and said urgently.
"Ah Wu, you're back!" Zhang Ada's sudden rush up and grabbed Xiao Wudao, "This man's martial arts are very high, we can't die anymore." ”
Xiao Wu's face turned pale suddenly, and he hurriedly retreated.
Then he threw down the big knife and knelt down and said urgently: "Miss Lord, we are not bandits, we are farmers in this place, but we are desperate, so we want to rob and get some food." ”
"Get up, speak well, what the hell is going on! This is still the territory of Nanyue, do you know how bad the impact will be! Chu Xiaoyan was also very annoyed.
"My lord, we are also forced to do so, the government doesn't care about our life or death, the weather is bad, the grain is lost, we can't even hunt in winter, we all have to starve to death, even if we do some handicrafts to sell, we are colluded by officials and businessmen, in exchange for not enough food for the family, my lord is aware of it!" Zhang Adaa also immediately put down the big knife and knelt down.
When a group of people saw the boss kneeling, they all threw their weapons and knelt down.
"There were hundreds of people on our side, but now there are half of them left, except for a few of us, there is still a little strength, and the others are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they don't even have anything to eat, woo." When they said this, they all wiped their tears.
"My lord, miss, please save us."
"Why don't you move away?" Chu Xiaoyan felt very uncomfortable.
"We moved back, but we were driven back, far away from the North Continent, and it was even more desolate over there, so we could only wait here to die, my lord, until we had to do so, we really wouldn't rob passers-by, because of the robbery, we all killed several young men."
Everyone wiped their tears as they spoke.
"No one has ever been to the government here?" Chu Xiaoyan asked.
"Yes, let us fend for ourselves, saying that they can't help it."
"How can it be?" Chu Xiaoyan was so angry that his face was so black that he could drip ink.
"Are your crops dead? Didn't you plant again? Mu Qingyun asked.
"Miss, we can't afford to buy seeds and seedlings, where are the crops?" Everyone began to cry, "If we don't rob, we'll all starve to death." ”
"Robbery is definitely not right, the tourist caravan is also running for survival, and in the end it is robbed by you, how do you let them live?" Chu Xiaoyan said.
"My lord, miss, we really have no way out, we can't live anymore." Everyone was sad and weeping.
"I originally thought that I would be arrested by the government and that I could eat in prison, but they didn't arrest us either, this is obviously going to starve us to death, Emperor Nanyue is a faint king!"
As soon as these words came out, Chu Xiaoyan and Mu Qingyun's faces also changed.
"Presumptuous!" Chu Xiaoyan shouted angrily.
"Sir, kill us! We can't live anymore, such Nanyue, we ordinary people really can't live. The emperor is not a faint monarch, he doesn't care if we live or die at all!
Do you think it's just us bandits? Leaving here for hundreds of miles, countless ordinary people are starving to death and losing everywhere, has the government taken care of us? No! Isn't such an emperor a faint king!
He is clothed and fed in the palace, but he has thought about us ordinary people! When we pay our taxes, we are in trouble but we are left to fend for ourselves! Heaven is going to die! Nanyue is dying! ”
Zhang Adaa suddenly looked up to the sky like crazy and roared angrily.
The others also seemed to be frightened by Boss Zhang, and looked at their leader incredulously.
Not far away, the middle-aged father's caravan also arrived, and they were all stunned when they heard these hysterical shouts.
These weren't bandits.
However, I thought that they hadn't beaten anyone before, so I just threatened them, asked for some money and food, and let them go.
Mu Qingyun had a headache, now that they were going to Beilu, they couldn't handle this matter, and once they stayed, they would delay the trip.
Chu Xiaoyan's handsome face was very ugly and serious, and Mu Qingyun knew that he was extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
"Settle them down first, and then deal with them when you come back." Mu Qingyun said to Chu Xiaoyan after thinking about it.
"How do you settle in?" Chu Xiaoyan said, "It's not a way to give silver. ”
Mu Qingyun saw the caravan behind, and his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "The caravan behind, we will buy supplies for them." ”
Chu Xiaoyan saw that the caravan over there stopped fifty meters away, looked at this side, and thought to himself that they should also be frightened.
"I'll negotiate, you can talk to them." Mu Qingyun said to Chu Xiaoyan, "This matter is very revealing, Chu Guanyu is really not good. ”
Chu Xiaoyan had a headache instantly, then nodded, walked to Zhang Ada, helped him up, and then asked the others to retreat first, and he and Zhang Adaa chatted under the tree.
When the gang retreated, they watched from afar, waiting, not knowing what was waiting for them.
And Mu Qingyun walked to the caravan.
"Uncle, what are the goods you are carrying?"
"This young lady, we usually take things from Beilu to Nanyue to exchange items, take back what Beilu sells, and earn some living expenses." The middle-aged father smiled, "Miss, these bandits are ......"
Mu Qingyun said: "They are actually not bandits, they are just poor people of Nanyue, who have to take risks in order to survive." ”
Mu Qingyun sighed, and the middle-aged father looked over there and sighed: "To be honest, Nanyue has become more and more homeless in recent years. ”
Mu Qingyun's heart was shocked, and he nodded and said, "Old man, can you buy me some goods?" I want them to be able to live, and when we come back from Hokuriku, we will go to the government to solve these problems. ”
"You want to buy goods?" The middle-aged dad was shocked, "Give it to them? ”
