Chapter 141: The Change of People's Heart
With the rout of the mountain bandits, the damage on Qinzhen's side gradually became clear.
Except for the people who fled, there were no less than 100 people who died at the hands of the mountain bandits, and countless people were wounded.
This was still when Qin Zhen and Chen Kuai had attracted most of the mountain bandits.
Chen Kuai's city guards died more than a hundred people, and this was still in the case of wearing iron armor, if there was no layer of iron to protect it, I was afraid that this number would have to increase several times; And the village guards in Qin Town also suffered heavy casualties, more than 20 people were killed in the battle, and the rest were all wounded!
It's a tragedy!
On the other hand, on the side of the mountain bandits, hundreds of people were captured, with more than 1,000 casualties, and the second master, Yu Erye, was shot and killed by Chen Shu!
It is no exaggeration to say that this battle almost broke Maoershan!
"Collect the corpses, reward the war dead, and raise them with their wives and children!" Qin Zhen sighed.
These people are the mainstay of the small fishing village, and they are the natives of the village!
They are fathers, husbands, children, brothers!
And now, turned into dry bones, passed away in the world!
Qin Zhen never grieved for death, he just felt ashamed of the families of the dead in the war.
There are some things that money can't make up for.
"Lord Chen, you should also set up a roster as soon as possible, the survivors will be rewarded, the war dead will be seriously injured, if there are disabled and discharged from the army, you can come to my small fishing village!"
"There are so many mountain bandits, enough for our brothers to be promoted and make a fortune, so you still need to pay for the money?" Chen Kuai groaned.
"The government is the government, I am me, and you have shed blood for my small fishing village! I, Qin Zhen, have a grass mustard, but I also know that righteousness is artificial. β
These words moved everyone present.
Especially those city guards who lacked arms and legs, their eyes were hot at the moment, and tears flowed down their eyes.
Dashang is very perfunctory about the aftermath of the disabled veterans.
Many people fought for the country, went into battle and fought hard, but they were injured and only exchanged for a few taels of silver.
Qin Zhen's words almost touched the hearts of these soldiers.
As soldiers, they are not afraid of death, they are afraid that after their death, their families will be helpless; What I am afraid of is that I am injured and disabled, but the court doesn't care about it and lets it fend for itself!
For a while, many city guards shouted: "Prince Qin is benevolent and righteous!" β
Even the city guards were like this, not to mention the slave people and the small fishing villagers.
Miss Ying'er looked at this scene in a daze, and the heartfelt love and admiration on the faces of the people made her feel at a loss. It was a very different voice from the perfunctory nonsense she had seen in her daily life.
Looking at the blood-stained broken white clothes, the young man stood in the crowd, like a blazing spark, which blocked her heart.
"This matter needs to be reported to the city lord as soon as possible!" Qin Zhen said in a deep voice.
"It's nature! Buy murder, collude with mountain bandits, and openly intercept and kill court officials! Chen Kuai's face showed a touch of fierceness, obviously he also hated what these bullshit families did: "Coupled with the attempt to rob Miss Ying'er, this matter is not so easy to be good!" β
"There is one more, intercept and kill people today!" Tang Xuan said coldly: "Although there is no official or position, he can be regarded as a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven!" This group of mountain bandits is mad, and they will definitely be thundered and mighty! β
Tang Xuan also hated the mountain bandits at this moment!
He's just about to move his head!
No matter how bad it is, it will be plundered by mountain bandits, and I don't know what kind of inhuman treatment it will suffer!
It can be said that he can't wait to let the officials from all over the country send troops to surround and suppress this group of mountain bandits now!
"This may have to be done, brother, you go yourself." Qin Zhen looked at Chen Kuai.
He pulled Chen Kuai aside and instructed: "By the way, tell the city lord that the mountain bandits are powerful, and although we tried our best to resist the enemy and repel the mountain bandits, we still lost a large number of goods......
Hearing this, Chen Kuai already understood.
A sinister smile appeared on his face: "You kid, it's really bad!" β
This matter is very important, if he doesn't add oil and vinegar to the arrangement, how can Qin Zhen be willing?
And this, coincidentally, Chen Kuai's mind.
After the matter was almost explained, and the people finished resting and re-entering the road, Qin Zhen came to Miss Ying'er.
"Miss Ying'er, this trip is difficult and dangerous, why don't you go back first with Master Chen and his party."
"I'm going to accompany Xixin." Miss Ying'er said stubbornly.
Nangong Xixin was injured in order to protect her, how could she just leave?
Qin Zhen didn't persuade much, but just asked Zhao Ming to bring more people to protect Miss Ying'er's safety.
The other side.
Wang Meng, who retreated in a hurry, found Xing Ye with a gloomy face.
"Why did you stop? Then why is Qin Zhen's head still on his neck? β
"Qin Zhen can't be killed." Xing Ye said coldly.
"Why?" Wang Meng asked.
"It was used as a medicine guide before, and the bear that saved the owner of the village was bought from him, and I have to save his life if I accept his love." Xing Ye explained.
Hearing this, Wang Meng was stunned, his face full of disbelief: "Just because of this? Do you know how many dark flowers Boss Huang sent to buy his head? It's a whole five thousand taels! Such a large sum of money is enough for our brother to play all over the flower buildings in Wujiang City! You say don't want it, don't want it? β
"Come out and mix, you have to talk about credit!" Xing Ye glanced at Wang Meng coldly, and admonished in an unquestionable tone: "If you say to save his life, you will save his life!" When I go back, I will personally report this matter to the owner of the village, and I think the owner of the village will also agree with my approach! β
These words made Wang Meng laugh angrily.
He really couldn't understand that the world was so chaotic, and there was still a fool's mouth full of faith!
They're bandits!
Is it really a chivalrous green forest hero?
"If you don't want these five thousand taels, I'll take it myself!" Wang Meng turned around and prepared to leave.
was stopped by Xing Ye.
There was an undisguised chill on that wooden face.
"You...... Can't understand what I'm saying? β
The surrounding mountain bandits suddenly became tense, and they all picked up weapons and aimed at Xing Ye.
These people are not Xing Ye's people, but his Wang Meng's subordinates!
In this regard, instead of having any fear, Xing Ye stepped forward and condescendingly looked at Wang Meng, who was much shorter than him.
"I said, Qin Zhen, you can't move!"
Xing Ye is a well-known stubborn donkey in Longmen Village, and if anything is recognized by him, nine cows can't pull it back! However, this kid's strength is amazing, and there are few opponents in the entire Longmen Village, so he is deeply loved by the owner of the village.
Some time ago, he saved the life of the owner of the village, which can be described as a celebrity!
Wang Meng really didn't dare to break his wrists with this master.
"Since that's the case, then I won't kill Qin Zhen!" Wang Meng took a step back, and changed his words: "But...... You can't stop me from killing anyone else, can you? He pointed to the scar on his face, pulling it from his eyebrow to his left ear.
"That woman slashed me, I have to take revenge! That woman has nothing to do with you, right? β
Xing Ye was indifferent.
Wang Meng smiled coldly, pushed Xing Ye away, and led the people to chase straight in the direction where Qin Zhen left.
Don't forget to leave a word before leaving.
"Old criminal, you are very good at everything else, but your heart is too kind."
And those with good hearts do not live long in troubled times.
