Duan Jiu went all the way north. Since there was no delay on the way, he arrived earlier than Jiang Fang. After arriving at the foot of the northern mountains, Duan Jiu went directly to find the military camp stationed nearby.
Duan Jiu was not in the mood to bargain with those village names. He was just here to complete the task. Even if the process was unsatisfactory, it would not be his fault.
Duan Jiu took the token given by Queen Mother Jiang and went directly to the military camp. After the leading general saw the token in Duan Jiu's hand, although he was a little confused, he still led Duan Jiu into the general's tent very politely.
inside.
"General Wei Ran, I'm here to see you, sir. I wonder why you came to the camp in the far north this time?"
Duan Jiu sat directly on Wei Ran's seat, and then said casually: "The Queen Mother ordered me to evacuate the people. The villages under the mountains and your military camps need to be moved away. The sooner the better."
Wei Ran looked at Duan Jiu's cynical look and felt a little doubtful in his heart. He looked unfamiliar, as if he had never seen him before.
And now it is said that all the military camps will be relocated. If this is done by outsiders and a war breaks out during the relocation, this area will be easily lost.
People's villages can be moved, but how can this military camp be moved immediately? But the token in the man's hand is indeed the Queen Mother's token, and it doesn't look like it's fake.
Wei Ran asked someone to bring Duan Jiu a pot of hot wine, and then asked someone to check Duan Jiu's token. Duan Jiu also knew what he was thinking, but did not stop him.
After a bowl of wine, Duan Jiu felt a lot warmer on her body. As she walked northward, it became colder and colder. After reaching the northern limit, it was already snowing.
Duan Jiu said: "General Wei, there is no need to be so afraid of me. I was ordered to deliver the message. If General Wei is concerned, you can find someone to go to the capital to ask for clarification.
But this natural disaster waits for no one. If time is wasted on the way, the landslide and the weather, the losses will not be small.
And when I came all the way, I saw that there are still quite a few villages under this mountain range. Calculated, there may be tens of thousands of people. By then, tens of thousands of people will be displaced. This is not something that General Wei can afford."
Duan Jiu threatened a few words, and Wei Ran's face immediately became solemn, but he still asked: "But sir, the general has not heard that this natural disaster can be predicted. Where did the news come from at this time?"
Duan Jiu said: "I know that General Wei must have concerns, but this sign of natural disaster was given to the Queen Mother in a dream by an immortal, saying that there must be a natural disaster in the area.
This day is very close, and regardless of whether it is true or not, if it is true and you are still procrastinating here, then it will not be such a simple relocation issue. "
Wei Ran didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he said: "The general will know about this, now let the soldiers in the military camp pack their luggage and prepare to move out."
Duan Jiu then said: "Please free up a team of people for me. I need to go to the nearby villages to have a look."
Wei Ran knew what Duan Jiu meant, so he responded and went down to prepare. Duan Jiu looked at the wine in the bowl, which was still steaming. He wanted to take another sip.
But the wine in this military camp is very strong, and the sip he just took made his throat feel tight. If he drinks this bowl, a person like him who has no tolerance for alcohol will probably sleep until dawn tomorrow.
After Wei Ran prepared the troops for Duan Jiu, Duan Jiu did not delay and led the people to the nearest village. He did not want to stay in this extremely cold place.
When people at the entrance of the village saw a pair of officers and soldiers coming, they quickly ran back and told the village chief. The village chief listened and took everyone to the entrance of the village to greet them.
Duan Jiu saw that the entrance to the village was crowded with people, but did not dismount. He just said, "Where is the village chief?"
The village chief stood up and saluted Duan Jiu. He looked at Duan Jiu on the horse and seemed a little scared, but he still stood at the front.
"Please inform me that within three days, everyone in the village will need to move out. A natural disaster is about to happen here. If you don't want to die, you should go back and pack your things."
The village chief looked at Duan Jiu, his eyes full of disbelief. Can natural disasters be predicted? But after all, it was the official who spoke, so how could he, a small village chief, have the right to interrupt.
At this time, a man said: "You just want to move away? My house is still a newly built house. If we move out, what will happen to my house?"
Also, we have been living here for generations, so if there is any natural disaster, if we move away, where will we go? Are we going to beg for food?"
After the man finished speaking, there were echoes from the crowd, but they were all muttering in low voices and did not dare to speak loudly.
Duan Jiu sneered: "That means you refuse to move?"
"Don't move!"
Duan Jiu waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers behind him immediately pressed the man up. Duan Jiu dismounted, pulled out the knife from the waist of an officer and soldier beside him, and chopped off the man's head with a swing of the knife.
The man's head rolled on the ground several times, and bright red blood splashed all over the floor. The villagers were so frightened that they took a few steps back, and some of the timid ones screamed in fear.
Duan Jiu stroked the blade with one hand, looked at the steaming blood on it, and said, "Let me ask again, move it or not move it?"
The group of people were so frightened that they did not dare to speak, and those who were still discussing in low voices shut their mouths. This living example was right in front of them, and their lives could not be wasted like this.
The village chief knelt down quickly, and the group of villagers behind him also knelt down. The village chief said: "Master, it's not that we don't want to move, it's just that we have been living in this village for generations.
Now that I have said that I want to move away, everyone must be reluctant to leave. I hope that the official will be accommodating. Money is not an issue. We cannot live without this family!"
Duan Jiu carried the knife and walked up to the village chief. The village chief was trembling with fear, but he could only kneel in the front. He watched Duan Jiu getting closer and closer.
A sense of oppression came over him, as if the person in front of him was not a person, but a bloodthirsty Yama, just when Duan Jiu was about to walk in front of the village chief.
The village chief hurriedly kowtowed to Duan Jiu: "Move, move! We are moving. We will notify you to move out now. Please let me go!"
Duan Jiu then stopped, threw the knife in his hand back into the hands of the officer and soldier, clapped his hands and said, "This is right, it's like this from the beginning, and I don't want to go into a big fight.
You have three days to move them all away. I don’t care where you move to. If I see there are still people in this village after three days, I will kill them without mercy."
Duan Jiu said this lightly, but his words made the villagers kneeling on the ground tremble in their hearts. How could this apparently teenage boy be so cruel?
