Chapter 256： Court expert

Chapter 256 Hutingtong

Liu Shangping never thought that he would have such a relationship with An Mucheng. He had just fled back to Beirou and was taken out again, and he led the troops along with Hu Tingtong in the name of the deputy commander.

Their target was still Anmu City.

Although they have received the news that Anmucheng is transferring people.

Liu Shangping looked worriedly at Hu Tingtong, who was temporarily replaced. The person who originally led the troops should have been Hu Tinglie.

The reason why he is worried is that, in comparison, Hu Tingtong is more than a little naive than Hu Tinglie.

"Deputy Commander, our trip is just to occupy Anmu City first, wouldn't it be better if everyone inside fled, and after Lord Hu Tinglie has gathered the remaining troops, we will attack Shangyun City in one fell swoop. Why do you do this? Worry?"

asked the confidant beside Liu Shangping.

There are still some Lindan people in Lindan Kingdom who do not obey Beirou, and the people in Anmu City have already fled, so they changed to Hutingtong, while Hutinglie continued to stay in Lindan Kingdom to deal with those people. betray the party.

"I always feel that things are not that simple. Those two people are not good people. They won't let it go."

Not only Xiao Xuan, but also that woman, would they really be afraid to flee?

"The information we received can't be wrong. Those people were scared away, and the two of them were left alone."

The confidants were still chattering, Liu Shangping was silent, maybe it was, even if they weren't, they had to go to Anmucheng, because Anmucheng was a must pass, otherwise they would be trapped in this famine sooner or later in Beirou. .

Thinking about this, I saw a man walking down from the carriage in front of him. The man had small eyes and big face, dark skin, and a tall figure in Beirou.

Hu Tingtong walked towards Liu Shangping angrily and said:

"It is said that the Nanxiao country is vast and rich. This is where you took a few months and 30,000 people to win? Now you can't even guarantee the food and drink of the horses, how can you go on?!"

The surroundings suddenly quieted down, Liu Shangping's face turned pale again, and he opened his chapped lips and said, "Your Highness, the famine and drought in Nanxiao started a few months ago, you know that. "

Liu Shangping was also very helpless. They could only ride horses at the level of soldiers. Even so, these horses were still starved to death, and Hu Tingtong was probably used to being pampered and would vent his anger on him at every turn.

"Then I don't understand even more. The court of the Nanxiao Kingdom has abandoned this place. The 30,000 elites are no match for a group of refugees who are about to starve to death? Are you all a group of wine and rice bags?!"

Hu Tingtong's words were not pleasant, but the people around him had already taken it seriously. Liu Shangping was humiliated almost every day along the way, and even he himself just bowed his head deeply and said nothing.

"His Royal Highness, we have searched the nearby villages, but we have not found any food or water, nor anyone who can be used as a two-legged sheep."

Several Beirou soldiers came over from one side and said.

"Continue departure."

Hu Tingtong's face was very unhappy. Their food and grass were all looted from Lindan Kingdom, so the number was pitiful, but they had to support 100,000 people to eat every day. I found some food and grass, but I didn't expect to see even a person on the way.

That's right, if they can find some living people, they will take them as food and grass, but unfortunately they can't even find the living people now.

The    army set off slowly, and at the end of the line there were thousands of people in ragged clothes, walking slowly with heavy steps.

Their hands were tied and their eyes dimmed. Some people fell to the ground while walking. Immediately, Beirou soldiers came to pick them up and threw them onto a wooden cart.

Other people just glanced blankly when they saw this, no one envied them being able to lie on the wooden cart, because that would mean that they would be the next meal ration...

"These people from Lindan Country can't support it, they're gone after a few days."

"Hey, that's great, we all have meat to eat."

"It's a pity that the most delicious women and children are almost eaten up."

"It's good to have something to eat. It's better to let us meet some people from Nanxiao. I haven't tasted the taste of Nanxiao, hahaha..."

“…”

Beirou soldiers will be very excited when they talk about their "food". These "food" are all slaves captured from Lindan Kingdom. Some of them are common people, and some are even nobles. But at this moment, they are all lambs to be slaughtered.

…

After learning that hundreds of thousands of troops from Northern Rou would arrive in Anmu City in the next two days, some people in the city who had vowed to stay behind suddenly panicked.

Yin Miao understands this feeling, death is not scary, what is scary is the fear that must be faced before death.

"It's too late for you to go now."

Yin Miao said in the pawnshop that although the city was basically empty, she still stayed here for a while every day, because from time to time people would exchange jade for food and water.

"Hey, I originally thought that I would be the only one to hide, but now everyone is gone..."

A man hesitated, he was the only one left in the family, he thought that he had already looked down upon his life and death, but when he thought that he would die alone, he still hesitated.

"If we leave now, can we also pick up the supplies on the way?"

asked a woman next to him.

"sure."

Yin Miao pointed to the sorted material packages on the shelf. The material packages contained ready-made food and water, all prepared for the convenience of those who were on the road.

Everyone in the house was overjoyed when they heard it. Life and death were in front of them, but they still chose to live.

Looking at the group of people who left with satisfaction, Yin Miao also put away a few jade stones in front of her.

Sun Zili and Yin Bowu came out of the side room. Sun Zili asked curiously, "Miao girl wants this jade to be of great use?"

The jade pendant can be exchanged for food and drink, which is unheard of.

"It's better to ask for jade than to ask for gold and silver. After all, things can't be given away for nothing, right?"

Yin Miao replied with a smile.

"I see."

Sun Zili suddenly realized that he thought that the jade had something to do with food and water. It turned out that it was just to achieve a balance in the transaction.

"That's right, this young man is thinking longer than us."

Yin Bowu also explained that he was also afraid that his friend would suspect something.

"That's a good excuse, but..."

Sun Zili looked at the father and daughter, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He has been holding this question in his mind for the past few days.

"Uncle Sun, please speak."

Yin Miao probably already knew what Sun Zili was going to ask.
