Chapter 406: Boundary

Qin Wen didn't stay in the country of He Blade for too long, after finding out the price of the spiritual object, he got up early the next day and left the capital, in his opinion, the order here is much better than the city of expulsion, the kingdom has a strict management system, and the army is maintaining law and order.

Although there will be mountain bandits and other monks in the towns outside, but in terms of the caravan sent by Qin Wen, the four Xuanshi monks are enough to deal with any mountain bandit here, even if they encounter a high-level spiritual monk, at least they have a chance to escape separately.

However, after they walked for ten days, according to Han Shang's map, when they were about to walk out of the border of the country of the He Blade, Qin Wen realized that Lu Dao's conclusion was a little too early, in the small town on the western border of the country of the He Blade, there were crowds of fleeing people everywhere, and ordinary monks with their families were all on a slope looking at the army patrolling the town with pleading eyes.

And the army of these countries of the blade is also like a great enemy, they don't dare to let these people fleeing the famine into the town, now it seems that they are all very pitiful, but once they enter the town, these homeless people will do everything in order to survive, so they can only let them stay in these designated areas for the time being.

When the war in the opposite country is over, or if these homeless people can't see the hope of entering the country of He Blade and then retreat on their own, Qin Wen looked at the other side of the defense line built by the army, there were several soup kitchens and porridge shacks crowded with people, and there were a few people who looked like stewards patrolling around, and there were many homeless people looking at them pleadingly.

Qin Wen asked Han Shang at this time: "It seems that there is a war going on in this country on the other side, so many displaced people have gathered here, why doesn't the country of He Blade accept them?"

Han Shang shook his head and said, "These people are not so easy to take in, not to mention that the current food of the country of He Blade cannot be supplied to them, and even if it can be supplied, it will not let them enter the territory." Once these monks entered the town, it was impossible to imagine that it would be impossible to control them like this, and in order to live, there was no burden on them to burn, kill, loot, and become mountain bandits. ”

"Second, most of these people will not be able to stay here after the war, and their hometowns have their own farmland. After going back, they can occupy more ownerless land, and often when they leave, they will take away many townspeople's belongings, so whenever there is a war with neighboring countries, heavy troops will be deployed on the border here. ”

At this time, Qin Wen suddenly saw a monk who looked like a steward pointing to the opposite side behind the soldier, and among the homeless people, a monk who had stepped up the ranks of the Xuan Shi squeezed in front of him in surprise, and he was accompanied by a young woman, leading a man and a woman and two young children, and the steward looked at the four people who were squeezed in front of him. He frowned slightly and waved his hand at the monk.

The monk's face suddenly hesitated, looked at the boy he was leading, and the girl in his arms, he couldn't help but discuss with the steward in a pleading tone, and the steward shook his head firmly at this time, this place was very noisy, and Qin Wen didn't hear what they were discussing.

Suddenly, the monk turned around and said a word to the young woman. The young woman shook her head a little dazedly, and then the monk took the girl from the young woman's arms. He handed it to a middle-aged woman next to her, then dragged the weeping young woman into a path where the steward had asked the army to get out of the way.

Qin Wen was a little puzzled at this time, so he opened his mouth and asked Han Shangdao, "What do these people who look like people in charge do? How do I think they can bring the outer-like monks into the army's defense line?"

Han Shang also saw the scene just now, so he shook his head and sighed: "People in troubled times are as cheap as dogs, these stewards are all sent by the big families in the nearby town to select monks, whenever a war breaks out. There will be many monks who take refuge with their families, and most of them only need to provide a stable life for their families and themselves, and some do not even need monthly routines. ”

Qin Wen frowned slightly, looked at the middle-aged woman and hugged the girl with some hesitation: "Then since you are choosing a family to take away, why would that monk leave the girl behind?"

Han Shang thought for a moment and said, "Every monk who enters here. It's all about spending spirit stones for the army, generally speaking, a monk is only allowed to bring one person in, and now this steward allows him to bring two people, which is already good, and there is no way to abandon that girl. ”

Qin Wen saw that the middle-aged woman still wanted to transfer the girl to someone else, so he asked, "Then how many spirit stones does it cost to enter a monk?"

Han Shang shook his head and said, "This regulation is different, I needed a high-grade spirit stone at that time, and now it's not clear how much I need." ”

Qin Wen thought for a while, this high-grade spirit stone bought a monk of the upper rank of the Xuanshi, this kind of transaction is indeed cost-effective, but he saw the girl crying in the arms of the middle-aged woman, and the young woman who entered the safe area kept turning to look at her daughter with tears on her face, and Qin Wen's heart was also a little unbearable.

He jumped over the wall guarded by the soldiers, took the girl from the hands of the middle-aged woman, turned around and returned to the front of the soldiers, one of the officers saw Qin Wen flying above his head, he couldn't help but be a little angry, and was about to scold, when he found that Qin Wen was a middle-level monk of the Xuanshi, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a gloomy face: "What are you going to do here?"

Before Qin Wen could speak, Han Shang and a few caravan monks hurriedly greeted him, came to Qin Wen's side and said, "Master Qin, if there is anything you tell us to do, why do you rush into these homeless people by yourself?"

The officer saw that Qin Wen's subordinates were all Xuanshi upper-level monks, and another one was a spirit-level monk, his anger immediately dissipated, although he had never seen Qin Wen, but the family that could bring this kind of high-level monk was definitely something he couldn't provoke, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, you guys go back first, there are many homeless people here, so as not to hurt you by mistake." ”

At this time, Qin Wen took out a high-grade spirit stone from his storage bag, handed it to the officer, and said, "This is the cost of this girl's entry into the city, I will take him inside." ”

The officer couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and when he was thinking about whether he wanted to take this spirit stone, Qin Wen casually threw the spirit stone into the officer's arms, and walked back behind the army with the girl, and then came to the monk couple with a blank face.

At this time, Qin Wen handed the girl back to the young woman and said, "In the future, you will live a good life in the country of He Blade, and take good care of your daughter." After speaking, without waiting for the monks and his wife to thank him, he turned around and took Han Shang and the others to continue walking back to the officer's side, and the officer couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else about this senior?"

Qin Wen waved his hand and said, "We want to go west, can we pass here?"

The officer and the soldiers around him were stunned for a moment, now the country opposite is waging a war, and everyone else is desperately fleeing to this side, I didn't expect that Qin Wen's monks would continue to go west, the officer hesitated for a moment and said: "We are ordered by our superiors, but we are only guarding and not allowing the homeless people to enter, as for going out, there is no regulation." ”

Qin Wen nodded, waved his hand at Han Shang and said, "Let's go, let's go out now, and try to find a secluded place to rest tonight." ”

At this time, the kind-hearted homeless people who saw Qin Wen just now were all surging towards Qin Wen, and some of them shouted to let Qin Wen help them and bring them into the town, Han Shang helped Qin Wen to fly up and said: "Qin Ye, there are so many people here, we can't save them alone, let's get out of here first." ”

Qin Wen was moved by the life and death of his own flesh and blood just now, but now that he thinks about it, it is indeed as Han Shang said, he has just arrived in the country of He Blade, even if he has more spirit stones on his body, he will not be able to rescue so many homeless, not to mention that the war in the opposite country is still going on, and there will be more and more homeless people, so he nodded and flew out of the slope where the homeless people were with Han Shang.

After walking out of the slope, Qin Wen saw that there were still a large number of homeless people rushing towards this side from the west, and there seemed to be soldiers chasing behind him, and from time to time there were stray arrows flying in, so he rushed over to meet these soldiers, Han Shang was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Master Qin, what are you going to do?"

Qin Wen saw that there were only dozens of gray-shirted soldiers in front of him, so he spoke: "I am ready to drive these soldiers away, although I can't control these homeless people now, at least I have to save their lives." As he spoke, he rushed directly to a high-ranking officer led by a Xuanshi.

The officer saw that a group of high-ranking monks rushed over from the east, and he didn't know what the origin of these people was, so he couldn't help but be stunned on the ground, Qin Wen casually pulled him off his horse and said, "Let your soldiers stop killing these homeless people." ”

The officer nodded hurriedly, turned around and loudly issued an order to stand by, Qin Wen then asked, "What kind of country's army are you, how can you hunt down these homeless people?"

The officer thought for a moment and said, "We are the army of the country of Huichuan, and these displaced people are all from our country, and since there are many monks who are not willing to serve in the army, we were ordered to intercept them from entering the border of the country of Hejian. ”

Qin Wen thought of the many homeless people on the hillside at this time, so he frowned slightly and said, "Where is the boundary between you and the country of He Blade?"

The officer pointed to the hillside and said, "It's just below that hillside, we can only chase it there, and beyond that is the boundary of the country of the Blade, and when we get there, we can only return to the camp with the monks we have caught." ”

Qin Wen saw that most of the homeless people had already climbed the hillside, so he casually let go of the officer and said, "Okay, I just don't want to see you kill innocents indiscriminately, you can go back now." (To be continued......)
