At this point, there is no need for communication.

Mu Qing sat on the horse, frowned at these people blocking the road under the horse, and silently thought, if the Hu butcher was here, what would he do?

When he was in the Liu family, he promised the beautiful woman that he would not be a cold-blooded and ruthless assassin, not to kill innocent people, and if he was a sword, he would be willing to wear the scabbard for the sake of future freedom.

It's just that these arrogant people in front of them will be innocent?

When they are at home, they may be a good father to their daughters and a good husband to their wives, but now they are acting unscrupulously and blocking the road and robbing money, even if they are in the wrong order, they will not be innocent.

For the first time, Mu Qing thought about it so much before he started. Inexplicable thoughts are in my heart, and I am bound to act.

Liu Chaoge once said that he hoped that he would not directly cut off the past, he was still him in the hidden valley, thinking of this, Mu Qing was much less confused, and when he raised his head, he found that the refugees around him had slowly moved closer to the city gate.

They were unclothed, their faces were sallow, their shapes were erect, and their cloudy eyes were motionless, all staring at the situation on Mu Qing's side, as if they were expecting something to happen?

Sun Ren and the bandits of the Iron Bone Village were inadvertently revealed by the Dao, and they were stunned for a moment, but they also reacted at this time, and gathered around Mu Qing's horse.

"Dare to be unreasonable to your son, I think you are impatient!"

There was a cracking sound, and Sun Ren and his team wrapped most of the weapons they carried in cloth strips in order to facilitate their entry into the city.

"Are you trying to rebel?"

The fat general looked at Mu Qing with an indifferent face, his face became iron-blue, and in a hurry, he hurriedly called his men to go to the city for help.

Mu Qing didn't want to pay attention to the person in front of him anymore, and called Xiao Wuling to his side, "You go and ask those people over there, in the past, there were these rules for entering the city at this city gate." ”

Xiao Wuling ran over excitedly, but those who were difficult to understand also regarded Xiao Wuling as a plague god, as soon as Xiao Wuling ran in front of someone, everyone hurriedly retreated.

Xiao Wuling finally found a person who saw him not hiding, stood in front of him in a daze, and his body could only reach his shoulder, and regardless of whether the other party objected or not, he pulled the other party in front of Mu Qing.

"Childe, those people don't seem to dare to offend them. ”

"Hmm. Mu Qing also got off the horse and looked at the person pulled by Xiao Wuling.

This person was thin, and was pulled all the way by Wuling, who was like a bamboo pole, and his body was staggering and unstable, and at this time, he was even thinner than Xiao Wuling.

"Don't be afraid. Mu Qing looked at the little muddy face under the unkempt hair, and said softly, "Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Yes. The man's voice was so soft that he couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, and after raising his little face slightly, a pair of big clear eyes were revealed under the small locks of hair, "But do you have water and food?"

Mu Qinggang nodded, a gust of fragrant wind had swept in front of him, Wang Xiuwei took out a delicate food box out of nowhere, she bent down slightly, and said in a pitiful tone: "Little girl, I only have some red bean glutinous rice cakes here." ”

"Ah, are you a girl?" Hearing Wang Xiuwei shout little girl, Wu Ling was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at the small bamboo pole beside him a few times, this time he reacted, quickly let go of his palm, and took two steps back.

Because he was afraid that the other party would run away, he knew that he had been holding the other party's wrist just now, and when he let go of it, he saw that the slender wrist was already a little blue.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Xiao Wuling hurriedly apologized.

But this little girl didn't care about these at this time, the tip of her nose moved lightly, a pair of eyes widened, staring at the food box in front of her, waiting for Wang Xiuwei to open it, first glanced at Wang Xiuwei, saw Wang Xiuwei nodded, then held a piece of red bean cake, and ate it in small bites.

Wang Xiuwei squatted in front of the little girl, looked at the other party's eating action that was obviously very hungry but still had etiquette, sighed and said, "You eat slowly, you will follow us into the city in a while, and my sister will invite you to eat well." ”

"Hmph, do you still want to enter the city?" The fat general, who was still in a stalemate with Sun Ren, laughed strangely, and his gaze fell on Wang Xiuwei's back, and he never looked away again.

Most of the clothes in early summer are light and close-fitting, because of bending over and squatting, Wang Xiu's clothes between her waist and hips are stretched to the limit, clinging to her waist and hips, and the continuous curves of Gushan are perfectly exposed in the eyes of the fat general.

As soon as he thought of waiting a few more moments, the reinforcements from the city would arrive, and the gaze that shot out of the fat eyes became even more unscrupulous.

"Noise!" Mu Qinggang turned around and took the water bladder on the saddle, and when he saw that the fat man was looking at him badly, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he looked in the direction the other party was looking.

He was closer to Wang Xiuwei, the women's clothes should be woven of cicada silk, cool and thin, and after stretching, the delicate skin like white jade gelado wanted to come out of the clothes.

Seeing that the fat man never knew how to restrain himself, Mu Qing was furious in his heart, and when he raised his hand, a sword qi was raised, and he directly knocked it out.

The dark blue sword qi was extremely fast, and it still left a little bit of heat after cutting through the air, and after hitting the opponent's chest, it did not cause any physical damage, but the opponent's fat body wrapped in iron armor was like a big meat ball, and it rolled on the ground a few times before it moved.

Simplified from the fire and breaking the spirit, Mu Qing was quite satisfied with his move.

"Ahh

"He's killed your lord! Retreat to the city walls, and go find helpers. ”

A water bladder appeared in sight, Wang Xiuwei didn't look at the movement behind her, she turned her back and asked, "You killed him?"

After Mu Qing handed the water bladder to the little girl, he shook his head lightly and said, "Kill this kind of person, I'm afraid of dirtying my hands." There was something hateful about this man, so I let him lie in bed for a few months. ”

Mu Qing was already extremely measured this time, and he didn't even use three points of strength. Just because that fat man is completely an ordinary person, except for that fat body, there is not even a trace of internal strength in his body.

"Ahem, ahem. The little girl took Mu Qing's water bladder and poured it twice, her big clear eyes were a little brighter, "Okay, you can ask whatever you want." ”

Mu Qing also squatted down, "Then you tell me my name first." ”

The little girl took a step back, her body was a little tense, and she looked at Mu Qing and Wang Xiuwei seriously with a pair of big eyes, before she said softly: "My name is Tan Taijing." ”

Mu Qing saw the little girl's vigilance, didn't ask her family history again, and asked, "You have been here at the city gate for a few days, when did this rule for entering the city to collect money exist?"

Tan Taijing shook his head and said dejectedly: "It's that I was entangled and stolen, and the day I first arrived here, it was probably three or four days ago." ”

"Have you been hungry for three or four days?" Mu Qing looked surprised, looked at the mud on the other party's face, guessed that it might be the little girl who smeared it herself, and asked with a smile: "Why are you huddled here?

Yu Taijing shook his head and said: "They should have fled and wanted to get out of Qingchuan Prefecture, but they couldn't even pass this city." ”

Wang Xiuwei asked, "What about you?"

"Me?" "Me?" Yu Taijing looked at the woman in front of her with a pair of big eyes and a good pastry, and said with a small mouth: "I wanted to wander around and go from Qingchuan Prefecture to Youyan Prefecture again, but the package was stolen on the road." ”

"There were my favorite snacks and the stuff I've been secretly saving for a long time. ”

Xiao Wuling also listened to the sidelines, and at this time looked at Taijing with a surprised face, and said, "You are so thin and small, how dare you run around alone?"

Yu Taijing snorted lightly, raised her chest and raised her chin and said arrogantly: "What do you know, I am experiencing the suffering of the world, and I am practicing and acting, otherwise I can hit ten of you with one finger." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Xiao Wuling laughed in his heart, he couldn't even afford to eat, and he also experienced the suffering of the world, but when he looked at the thin and small appearance of Tantai Jing, he remembered his sister, raised his eyebrows and smiled without refutation.

After listening patiently, Mu Qing asked without giving back hope, "Do you know why they fled?"

Tan Taijing pretended to be an adult and said: "It's not that this Qingchuan Prefecture is a good place to die, and the boss has changed, and even the people who are sheltered under the old brother can only run for their lives in panic, and they don't even plant fields." ”

Mu Qing frowned and said, "The city lord of Jinguan City has just changed, these people should have escaped for many days." ”

Wang Xiu blinked slightly, and explained softly: "Brother Mu Qing may not know that before the change of the city lord of Jinguan City, the following junior brothers, well, are the city lords of other cities in Qingchuan Prefecture, and some landlords and gentry have already moved. After all, the territory is dead, and whoever takes refuge in the new master first will be able to get a bigger share. ”

She pointed to Shu Le City and said slowly: "For example, the original city lord of Shu Le City, perhaps because of his loyalty or because he lost a little speculative knowledge, was replaced by a jackal who smelled blood, and this situation happened from time to time in the current dynasty. ”

Mu Qing nodded, looked at the people with blank eyes, and wondered: "They shouldn't be involved in these power struggles, why should they run?"

Wang Xiu sighed slightly: "Why did they run away?" she glanced at Taijing, "Little sister is right, these people are indeed under the protection of those landlords and gentry, and they are the common people if they are good, but they are not slaves who have signed a deed of sale." ”

"When the original landlords were purged because of the change of power at the top, their wealth and land were naturally replaced by later generations. ”

"These people changed owners with the land they cultivated, and the contract remained the same, but the rent could not be paid. ”

Mu Qing remembered the green and yellow fields he saw along the way, looked at the people with cloudy eyes, looked at Wang Xiuwei and asked, "Why do they stop farming?"

After Wang Xiuwei stood up, he looked at the movement at the city gate behind him, and said with some mockery: "Even if the change of power is completed by bloody means of your death, it will continue to ferment for a long time. For example, before the city lord of Shule City was replaced, those landlords and gentry who were better than them, how could they have time to manage the harvest of acres, and some time ago happened to be an important time for spring planting, and these people who cultivated the fields and paid the rent on time were very likely to not get enough seeds, so they naturally could not plant the land. ”

And when the new master comes up, these people will only collect grain and rent according to the previous contract ratio, and even go too far, eager to scrape the ground, and they don't care that these people have not received seeds before. ”

Mu Qing had a low sadness in his eyes, and nodded: "So they had to bury their heads and flee, maybe they were lucky enough to run out of Qingchuan Prefecture and go to Youyan Prefecture to live on the land again." ”

Wang Xiuwei looked at Mu Qing's appearance, as if he was seeing each other for the first time, and asked with a smile: "I didn't expect Gongzi to be so compassionate, but it's rare." ”

Mu Qing shook his head, walked over to the group of people, his eyes wandering over the faces of these numb retreating people, and finally stopped when he saw a woman.

He looked at the thin woman hiding behind the crowd, and at the swaddling clothes in the woman's arms, and the woman's gaze met his, and seemed to light up a little, but waited until the gates opened. A team of dozens of people rushed out, and it was helplessly dimmed.

Mu Qing listened to the footsteps behind him and asked, "Why did Sister Xiuwei teach me?"
