Chapter 219 1 Why are you all running towards me?
"Husband," Xia Weiwei came over during the night rest. The soldiers just followed her from a distance, as if they were two different groups from Yang Biao. She was extremely frightened by this.
"Well," Yang Biao put her hair behind her ears and said softly, "It's late at night, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"I can't sleep. You need to make plans for those people early." Feeling so insecure, Xia Weiwei pointed at the soldiers who were far away and said.
"Okay, but can your body handle our long journey?" Yang Biao held her in his arms and patted her back gently.
"Why do I feel like you are coaxing me like a child?" Xia Weiwei felt that this feeling was not right. Shouldn't this be the feeling between lovers?
"Oh," in modern times, I often patted the backs of the two children so that they could fall asleep peacefully. Nowadays, when I hold someone in my arms, I habitually pat their backs.
"Be careful!" Shi Rui knocked away the hidden weapon flying towards Yang Biao and shouted towards the woods, "Who is this expert who actually used a hidden weapon to hurt someone from behind?"
"Husband, are you okay?" Xia Weiwei heard the sound of metal collision and hurriedly checked whether Yang Biao was injured.
"I'm fine." He picked up the hidden weapon on the ground. It was a sharp three-sided weapon with a sharp blade. He picked up a leaf above his head and threw it on the blade. The leaf was immediately split into two.
"What a sharp hidden weapon!" Yang Biao looked towards the woods where the fight was taking place. He remembered Jiang Sheng saying that this kind of hidden weapon was usually used by killers.
"Who would want to kill me?" Yang Biao remained silent. He didn't have any grudge against anyone to the point where he would have to hire a killer to kill him.
Qin Xiaoran, who heard the sound of fighting, also ran towards him, reminding him that there was a man named Xie Xiyao in the capital who hated him to the core.
"Hey, I tell you, there is danger, why don't you hide well instead of running towards me one by one, what are you doing?" Yang Biao had a headache. What should he say to make the girls understand that in this world, empathy does not mean bearing, and understanding does not mean solving. You have to love yourself first before loving others.
"But I'm worried about you." Qin Xiaoran felt aggrieved. She was scolded for caring about him.
"Next time there's a killer coming, remember to find a safe place to hide, okay?" Yang Biao sighed and tried to soften his voice.
"Okay," Qin Xiaoran naturally agreed, and they would talk about the future later.
"Master, this is what we found on them." He put all the things in his hand on the shaft of the cart under his feet.
"Well," he squatted down and saw several large-denomination silver bills, so he handed all the silver bills to Jiang Sheng and asked him to take a few brothers to buy food nearby.
Throughout history, many people in power have taken advantage of peasant uprisings to get to high positions. He must find a way to feed these people so that he can eliminate the riots in Qianpu Prefecture from the root.
"Well," in addition to the silver bills, there was also a dagger and a token.
Yang Biao picked it up and asked Xia Weiwei beside him if she recognized the token.
"Shi Rui, have you seen him?" Xia Weiwei shook her head. She didn't know, so she turned to ask Shi Rui, who had been wandering around in the martial arts world for a few years.
"Miss, this is the token of the right envoy of Yulemen." Shi Rui took the token from Yang Biao's hand, looked at it front and back, and returned it to him.
"Yu Lemen?" The name sounded nice. Yang Biao reached out and took the token.
"Yu Lemen is a well-known assassin organization in the underworld, and it costs a lot to hire them." No one expected that Yang Biao would be their assassination target. Who did he offend that they spent so much money to hire someone from Yu Lemen.
"Madam, I didn't expect that your husband is so valuable." Yang Biao sat beside her with a smile. What kind of life was he having? There were mobs waiting in front and killers watching him from behind. It was a typical situation where there were wolves in front and tigers behind.
"You, you can actually laugh." She was really impressed. She lost her life here by accident.
"Lu Gang, go and leave a few men to stand guard while the other brothers rest."
Hurry up and leave tomorrow morning. The closer they get to Pu Mansion, the more bandits will come out to rob. Logically, the emperor sent 20,000 soldiers to follow him, but those soldiers didn't even get close to them. They were more than a thousand meters away from him.
"Master, we have arrived at Qianpu Mansion." Jiang Sheng and his men used the silver they seized from the bandits they eliminated along the way to purchase food nearby.
"Oh my God!" Xia Weiwei lifted the curtain of the car. There was no city gate. The city walls were all black from being burned. People in tattered clothes and with sallow faces were staring at them everywhere.
"Brothers, show your weapons!" The victims were everywhere, showing their greed when they saw the food on the carts, so they were asked to show their swords to scare them.
"There are a lot of food in their car, come and grab it!" With just one sentence, the victims who were about to take action instantly ignored the big knives in their hands and rushed over to grab the food.
"Retreat quickly!" Moreover, they swung their swords and killed all the victims who rushed forward to grab. The people behind them retreated in fear when they saw their companions lying on the ground covered in blood.
"We are many in number, what are we afraid of? Just rob!" Seeing that the victims were scared, the man in the crowd wanted to incite them, but was shot by an arrow by Yang Biao, who was looking for people, and fell to the ground.
"I'm not afraid of you speaking, I'm afraid of you not speaking." Yang Biao rode over and shot him in the chest this time, and he lay motionless on the ground. After getting rid of this instigator, the victims were so scared that they fled.
"Jiang Sheng, go to the city and gather all the carpenters. The city gates must be installed before sunset today." It would be too outrageous for a city to be without city gates.
Yang Biao entered the city and told everyone to go to the government office of Qianpu Prefecture.
"Master, I'm from Qianpu Prefecture. I'll take you to the government office." Upon hearing that they were going to the government office, Dai Yu, who had lived in Qianpu Prefecture as a teenager, volunteered to lead the way.
"Oh, how many of you are from Qianpu Prefecture?" Yang Biao was overjoyed. It would be much easier to recruit soldiers since they all spoke the same accent.
"Master, both Mei Yongle and Wu Tong are the same, but they are from the county town." Dai Yu brought everyone to the government office and found that the situation inside was even worse than the city gate. It was burnt black everywhere and it was impossible to live there.
"Let's find a larger open space and set up a tent to settle down first," Yang Biao sighed. The government office was burned so thoroughly that all that was left were the black slag.
"Dai Yu, Mei Yongle, and Wu Tong, the three of you each take five men, put on your armor, and go to the places where you lived before you joined the army to recruit soldiers. We must establish our own army in Qianpu Prefecture as soon as possible." Looking at the 20,000 soldiers who arrived late, Yang Biao asked them to go to the outskirts of the city to open up wasteland and cultivate the land.
Those soldiers were old and weak ones selected from the army in the capital. They didn't want to fight in the first place. When they heard Yang Biao asked them to farm instead of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and die, they all happily went to the suburbs.
"Oh, we only have so many people, what should we do?" Xia Weiwei looked at the soldiers leaving. There were less than a hundred people on her side, and she was a little worried about Yang Biao's future.
"You should think like this, finally those unsafe people around us have evacuated, and we can rest in peace." Yang Biao hugged her and looked at the sky, which seemed to be about to rain, so they had to find a place to accommodate everyone quickly.
"Master, no one lives in the houses here." Besides, as they rode here on horseback, the rain was already slowly getting heavier.
