Chapter 061

Refugees become deserted

Huangfu Haotian finally left. With his reluctance to Xiao Li and his endless questions in his heart.

Before leaving, he told her that you must take care of yourself and wait for me!

Xiao Li did not respond, but did not question again.

She just silently let Huangfu Haotian pick her up in the waist. Then she took her through the entire forest and then passed through the dark field.

At that moment, for the first time, she felt like a young girl who had just started to fall in love, letting her lover hold her arms and handing over her full body and mind to his hands. Then she closed her eyes gently, thinking about believing in him and never asking about anything again.

At that moment, except for the sound of the wind, only his heartbeat was left in her ears.

When he returned to the camp, the soldiers had already rested. Huangfu Haotian held her and sneaked into her residence silently. After that, he kissed her affectionately and left without looking back.

In the days that followed, Xiao Li tried hard to restrain herself and prevented herself from showing any abnormal emotions.

Facts have proved that the training she had experienced in the past was really effective. Along the way, even the Qin Jian who served her every day did not notice any abnormality.

However, this may not be the reason why Xiao Li hides it so well. But now everyone’s minds are mostly focused on the war.

In fact, war is not as easy as Xiao Li imagined. On the contrary, it is in line with that sentence - war is always cruel!

Along the way, the further north, Xiao Li could see more and more refugees fleeing.

At the beginning, she could also give orders to Zhang Laowu to take out some of the food and grass for military use and distribute it to the refugees to relieve their difficulties and hunger.

However, gradually, when more and more refugees gathered from the border, even Xiao Li herself had to admit that her approach was actually not rational.

On this day, Zhang Laowu finally couldn't help but find her tent.

"Master Xiao." Zhang Laowu said to her: "Actually, we also know that Marshal, you are kind-hearted and you can't bear to watch the people suffer. But there is one thing we have to say to the Marshal."

"Brother Zhang may as well say something." Xiao Li said.

Zhang Laowu said: "Marson, we have to go to the border to fight this time, but what is the war most needed? Of course, it should be the soldiers. Do you think? But what the soldiers need most?"

Xiao Li couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this: "I know what Brother Zhang means. You are afraid that there will be too many refugees along the way, and the food and grass we bring are limited after all, right?"

Zhang Laowu nodded and said, "What we are talking about is. Marshal Xiao, let alone our 100,000 people, there is only such a little food and grass. Then it is doubled. We must not make sufficient preparations for future wars, right?"

Xiao Li couldn't help but nodded: "Actually, I've seen it in the past few days. If we keep going like this, it's probably not the same way. In this way, not only will our own food and grass be less and less, but it will also delay the army's journey to the north."

Zhang Laowu nodded after hearing this: "What the Marshal said is. So I will come here specifically to see the Marshal this time, mainly hoping that the Marshal can come up with a feasible solution!"

Xiao Li smiled slightly, nodded at him and said, "I understand, Brother Zhang, you might as well step down first. After I think about it carefully, I will notify everyone later."

After Zhang Laowu left, Xiao Li couldn't help but lock her eyebrows tightly, Qin Jian looked at it, and walked over with worry: "Miss, what do you think about this matter?"

Xiao Li raised her head, looked at Qin Jian for a long time, and suddenly smiled at her: "I don't think so, Qin Jian, you can help me change my clothes now, and then you can accompany me and go out for a walk?"

Qin Jian couldn't help but wonder: "At this time, what can you see when you go out? There was darkness everywhere outside."

Xiao Li said, "Don't worry about this for now, come here quickly to help me change my clothes."

But after a while, Xiao Li brought Qin Jian, and the two of them wore a man's casual outfit, left the camp, and walked towards the outer side of the army.

Although the sky was already dark and the weather was getting colder, there were still endless people fleeing on the official road leading to the south.

Under the dim moonlight, a young woman was walking in front of her, holding a hungry baby in her hand, but she was suffering from having nothing to eat for the child and could only cry all the way.

Seeing this, Qin Jian couldn't help but sigh at Xiao Li.

"Miss, you said it's good. Why do some people have to provoke wars? Look at these people. If it weren't for the war, why would they be forced to leave their hometowns? Now, they can't even have a full meal."

After hearing this, Xiao Li couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, since ancient times, all war has brought to the people is suffering!"

Qin Jian said: "To be honest, it's because of those group of Tartars in the Mirror Kingdom. If it weren't for their unprovoked war, why would our people in Lingguo suffer such suffering!"

As he was talking, a slightly staggering figure hurriedly walked up behind the young woman: "You are really, how did you become someone else's mother? The child has cried like this, and it seems that he is hungry. As your mother, you must give him some food."

Listening to the sound, Xiao Li felt that the person who spoke should be a middle-aged woman. It seemed that she might have been disturbed by the child's crying, so she caught up with the young woman.

However, at this moment, I heard the young woman crying and saying to the woman: "I don't know what Aunt Third said? But you have also seen it along the way. Almost everyone has searched for everything that can be eaten and drunk, but until now, who is not hungry? What's more, I am a woman who is still breastfeeding children. I don't have the ability to find it myself, and I have no ability to grab it. So in the past few days, I have almost survived by drinking water and eating grass paths. But how many things can I have by eating just?"

As the young woman said, she couldn't help crying again: "Aunt San, tell you the truth. I have already felt this in my heart. I am afraid that I, this poor child, will be almost unable to stand..."

"Don't talk nonsense." The third aunt, who thought she was a charitable woman, couldn't help but sigh sadly at such a poor mother and son: "It's all because of the Tartars in the Mirror Kingdom, who have a good life, but they have to make trouble and fight some wars. If it weren't for this, your family wouldn't have been dragged to war by the military master. How could you, mother and son, fall into such a situation?"

"Wuwu..." When the young woman heard this, she couldn't help crying again: "Aunt San, I don't know if he has given birth to him now. If he knew this, I would probably not be able to save his child. Then do you think he would hate me for the rest of my life? Wuwu..."

"Look at you, I told you not to talk nonsense. Why are you getting more and more excited when you are so good?" The third aunt said this, and her voice could not help but feel a little choking.

But then, she suddenly lowered her voice and said to the young woman: "Gensheng family, don't be so sad first. Let me tell you, there are still a few sweet potatoes hidden in my arms, and now I will give it to you."

When the young woman heard this, she couldn't help but startled, "Aunt San, how can this be done? You are still hungry, how can I ask for your things?"

But the woman quickly lowered her voice and said to her, "Shh, listen to me. You, it doesn't matter if you eat something else by yourself. But this child must save his life, right? So if you listen to me, you chew the sweet potato and feed it to the child bit by bit. I thought, what can this child last for a long time..."

"Miss, you heard it." Qin Jian couldn't help it, and suddenly pulled Xiao Li's sleeve and said, "Look at how pitiful they are, you should think of a solution quickly."

Xiao Li was about to pull the Qinjian forward, but suddenly heard a chaotic footstep. For a moment, Xiao Li couldn't help but pull the Qinjian and stopped her body.

"Miss~" "Shh..." Before Qin Jian could speak, Xiao Li had already booed her.

But at this moment, I saw several famine-filled men suddenly breaking through behind the two women.

"Aunt San, we all heard it. It turns out that there is something hidden in your arms?" Several men said, and suddenly surrounded the middle-aged woman.

"What do you want to do?" Seeing this, Aunt San couldn't help but shout nervously.

However, how could those people pay too much attention to her? They had already pushed the middle-aged woman to the ground, and then touched her arms, and in an instant, she had already pulled the woman's clothes apart.

"You robbers, let me go quickly!" Aunt San cried out in a grief, but still couldn't stop the hands of those people.

Suddenly, there was a "gurgle" sound, and under the dim night, several men began to compete for several sweet potatoes.

"Miss!" Seeing this, Qin Jian could no longer hold it back. He broke away from Xiao Li's hands and flew to the group of people: "Ha, do you guys still have a conscience? You even have to take away the food of women, children and young children?"

"Where are you from the Mao boy? You actually care about your uncles? Tell you, let me tell you, let alone women, children, even if they are the empresses in the palace, the old men will still dare to rob them!"

"You..." Qin Jian had never seen such a rascal rogue. He was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Jian'er, get out of here!"

At this time, Xiao Li finally came over. When Qin Jian saw her coming, he had to bite his teeth and said hatefully: "General, you must be fair to this aunt!"

Xiao Li waved her hand and asked the piano sword to retreat, and then came to the middle of the group of men alone: ​​"You guys really dare to even rob the empress in the palace?" Her voice was cold, but she was not angry and powerful.

A few men were just ordinary people, but they had never seen Xiao Li's aura. For a moment, she was so powerful that she could not even speak.

"Put down all the things in your hands for me!" Xiao Li shouted coldly.

It was not until this time that the few people on the ground understood that the person standing in front of them at this time was actually an official and a general.

Several people finally became scared and quickly put the things in their hands on the ground, knelt in front of Xiao Li and kowtowed, "June Jun, please spare our lives! We are so hungry that we have such malicious intentions. Please ask June Jun to spare our lives!"

Seeing this, the third aunt quickly got up from the ground, raised her hand and hit a man beside her a few times, and then knelt down in front of Xiao Li with them. She begged: "General, you have a lot of them, please spare them this time. These people are not so bad. This time, it is because they are all too hungry that they do such a wrong thing. Please, please spare them this time!"

Seeing that she was pleading for mercy, Xiao Li couldn't bear it, so she shouted coldly at the men: "Since the third aunt is pleading for you, why don't you get out of here!"

"Let's get out! Let's get out!" After hearing this, several men hurriedly kowtowed at Xiao Li, then rolled and crawled away from here.

Qin Jian walked up and helped the woman up from the ground first, and then helped the young woman who had already been so scared that she collapsed on the ground. The two of them came to Xiao Li and couldn't help but kneel down to thank him.

But Xiao Li reached out to stop him: "Auntie, and this sister-in-law, did you escape from here?"

"Return to the general, the civilian women come from the first company of the border town." Aunt San replied.

Xiao Li couldn't help but nodded: "Oh, this war has made you all suffer."

When the young woman heard this, she couldn't help but cry again. When the third aunt saw it, she couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, I really don't know how people want to survive!"

Qin Jian saw them crying and felt unbearable, so he begged Xiao Li and said, "Miss, look how pitiful they are. Otherwise, let's take the three of them all the way. Keeping them here will starve to death sooner or later. It's better to let them follow the army and help burn fire and cook."

"Qinjian!" Xiao Li couldn't help but shouted, "Shut up!"

But how could Qin Jian know her thoughts? He couldn't help but speak, "Miss, can you really watch them suffer without asking?"

Xiao Li was helpless and finally sighed: "What do you know? You do this is just a woman's kindness. Our 100,000 troops are going to the border to fight, not women and children's shelters."

"What should I do if the two of them do?"
