Chapter 92: This is it, is it here?
I have this question because many people in the team thought that they would die on the way and not live to their destination.
The words of Changting County, for them, are the hope for them to work hard.
Now that they heard that it would soon be there, they were suddenly a little confused.
That's ...... Is it there?
"Of course it's true, this is already the periphery of Changting County, and after walking for half a day, you should be able to reach the boundary of Changting County."
"But you're in the southwest, and you still have to walk a little way."
Knowing that the destination was approaching, the officers and soldiers were also in a good mood at this time and patiently explained.
This escort mission is finally almost complete.
After the handover, they were finally able to relax for a while.
The group of prisoners escorted this time were all from the Meng family, the Qin family, and the Zhu family.
The people of these families used to be almost all noble and noble lords.
After receiving this mission, the officers and men were actually a little worried. I am worried that these golden and noble lords will not be able to endure this long road of exile.
If they reach their destination and can't even save half of them, they will definitely be punished to a certain extent. For example, the penalty is deducted, the boss is reprimanded, and so on.
And now, nearly two-thirds of them have survived!
It is very rare to have so many people endure such a long journey.
It also reflects their sense of responsibility and strong ability of this escort team of officers and soldiers.
When I return to Kyoto, I will definitely be rewarded with praise. If you can get the attention of the people at the top, you may be promoted.
As soon as he thought of this, Xia Jing was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
And the exile team received an affirmative answer from the officers and soldiers, and they were all slowly getting excited at this time.
"Great, it's finally here! Unexpectedly, I was able to reach Changting County safely! ”
"Yes, it's a pity that my old father and mother didn't make it to ......"
For a while, many people in the team burst into tears.
Some are happy and excited, some are sad, and some are sad for their relatives who died on the road and couldn't survive.
"Alright, let's move on! Arrive as soon as possible tomorrow before the sun goes down. ”
When the officers and men saw that everyone began to cry, they reassured them and let them continue to move forward.
Everyone quickly wiped away their tears and continued to walk forward.
Some people whose bodies have reached the limit are gritting their teeth and continuing to persevere.
I've survived this long way, and I can't fall here.
So, even though everyone was tired, almost no one complained anymore, and they hurried with all their energy.
It was dark, and many people took the initiative to ask to continue walking for half an hour so that they could arrive early tomorrow.
Seeing that everyone was full of energy, the officers and men certainly would not refuse this request. Anyway, when they are tired, they can get in the carriage and sit for a while......
So, after walking forward for half an hour against the night road, the team stopped.
After setting up camp, Zhu Ruru went to find Wu Tongcai and Xia Jing.
They were given a bulging little package.
"If you are like a girl, here is ......"
"Inside are some of the pills I made on the road, most of them are for tonics, and some of them are very useful for you men." Zhu Ruyi winked at the two of them.
He continued: "In addition, there is also some tea money to honor you, and you have worked hard to take care of me and my family along the way. Without your care, I am afraid that I would not have been able to get here so safely. ”
"Ruru girl, you are too polite, and it was our responsibility to send you to the penal colony safely."
Xia Jing smiled and said polite words, but he did not refuse the package that Zhu Ruru handed them.
I also pinched the contents of the package, opened it and took a look.
At this glance, Xia Jing's eyes narrowed directly into a thin slit.
Apparently happy with what's in the package.
Wu Tongcai on the side looked at Zhu Ruru with a smile, "Miss Ruru, do you have anything else to ask us?" ”
Zhu Ruru glanced at the two of them.
She did come over to them about something.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have given them so many benefits for no reason.
So when she heard Wu Tongcai's inquiry, she didn't beat around the bush, smiled and said bluntly: "I can get to my destination tomorrow, I really have something I want to dare to ask the officials." ”
Xia Jing glanced at her and said, "You ask." ”
Zhu Ruru smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to ask, what is the environment of the place where we are placed?" And the officials of Changting County, are they all as kind as you? ”
These two questions really don't seem like much.
But it's not so easy to answer.
Especially the latter one.
Wu Tongcai glanced at Xia Jing, who nodded at him, obviously agreeing to let him answer.
Wu Tongcai said slowly:
"Ruru girl, the place where you are placed is in the southwest of Changting County, to the south by the sea, to the west by the mountains, and to the north by the wasteland. As long as you are diligent, you can catch fish in the sea, hunt in the mountains, and grow some crops in the wasteland, and you will not be hungry. ”
"As for the officers and soldiers here, we don't have deep contact, and we can't answer this question. But one thing, as long as you can keep your duty, generally speaking, there won't be much of a problem. ”
Zhu Ruru listened carefully to Wu Tongcai's words.
It doesn't seem to be much on the surface, but Zhu Ruru heard it, and it actually revealed a lot of information.
First of all, the location of the place where they are about to settle down is complicated.
There are mountains, seas, and wastelands.
It looks good, you can fish, you can hunt, you can farm.
But near the sea, there may be typhoons, and there will be Haikou touching ashore.
If there is a wasteland, there may be horse thieves, as well as wild wolves and beasts.
As for the mountain, if Zhu Ruru remembers correctly, Changting County is a frontier city.
Now they are going to be arranged in the southwesternmost place, and it is estimated that further west, it will be the neighboring Tianyuan Country.
In the border area of Tianyuan Country, it is rumored that there is a group of barbarians with a ferocious personality, who often intrude on the border cities of neighboring countries, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil.
And the emperor of the Tianyuan Kingdom has always turned a blind eye.
The people on the borders of other countries are deeply disturbed, but they are helpless.
After all, you can't just raise troops to attack the past because of this problem, right?
In recent years, there have been no major wars in the Yuhai Continent, and several countries have been thinking about peaceful development for a few years, and no one wants to be the first to break the balance.
Zhu Ruru is a little worried at this moment, if the barbarians of the Tianyuan Kingdom climb over the mountain to intrude, I am afraid that it will be a headache.
In summary, this Changting County is not a livable place.
However, the place of exile cannot be chosen...... I can only accept my fate.
As for the second question answered by Wu Tongcai, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers here have strict control over them.
It should be unrealistic to want to escape......
"Thank you, two officials." Zhu Ruru didn't ask any more, thanked him, and left with his head down.
