"Two thousand?" Cang Xiuxuan was a little surprised when he heard this number, "Why only two thousand? Does anyone else know the current whereabouts of these two thousand people?"
Cang Xiuxuan always thinks further. What he is worried about is whether Song Chen has revealed his identity in the process of recruiting these people, fearing that someone will be watching him in the future.
Song Chen was naturally moved by the fact that he always thought about himself.
As for the two thousand people, she also had to give a good explanation.
"When I asked them to contact me, my identity was not revealed. As for the number of people..." Song Chen couldn't help but sigh a little when he talked about this. "You know that all the people who were the protector of the country were scattered everywhere.
Yes, those in Shangjing City are the lowest-ranking soldiers in the army."
Naturally, these low-level soldiers do the hardest and most tiring work in the army. They receive the lowest pay and the worst treatment. Some of them have died of injuries and illnesses.
And there are not a few such people.
Cang Xiuxuan himself knew this. Before he got Song Chen's hemostatic pills, many people in his army died of minor injuries every year.
The Protector's people must have suffered a lot of losses in the past few years, not to mention that they had just returned from the battlefield!
"Some people were also taken to the border. They said that every time there was a conflict, it was their people who took the lead. Without food, clothing and training opportunities, taking the lead would mean death."
This group lost a lot of people, and those who were still alive continued to be at the border, waiting for their next charge.
They are soldiers of the Lord Protector. No matter how difficult it is on the battlefield, they will not allow themselves to be deserters...
After calculating this, there are really not many people left in Shangjing City, but by no means are they only two thousand.
"It's rare for the Protector's people to rebel. The two thousand of you are really too cold."
Originally, Song Chen thought that two thousand people was actually quite a lot, because with her current apparent strength, she might not be able to support more people if she added more people. However, after analyzing it now, and with the addition of Cang Xiuxuan,
As soon as she said it, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Two thousand is two thousand. As long as they are well trained, these two thousand people are worth a hundred times. I came to you today just for these two thousand people. I originally planned to place them in Jiuling Mountain, but over there
Infrastructure construction will take a lot of time, and my contract with them is only for five years."
"Did you decide these five years?" Cang Xiuxuan didn't care about anything else, but he remembered this time.
He remembered...he had told her before that it would be almost five years until everything was settled, and the time she had agreed with those people was also five years...
Could it be that she is looking for these people just to help her?
Song Chen didn't know what Cang Xiuxuan was thinking at the moment, but he nodded after hearing his question, "Five years is enough."
And she is fully confident that even if five years have passed, these people will still be used by her. This is something she has never doubted.
It wouldn't take five years to cure that child, and there was so much she could do.
In the end, the two thousand people secretly made another transfer, this time the destination was Cang Xiuxuan's newly built city.
This was the purpose of Song Chen's visit to Cang Xiuxuan before. Apart from his newly built city, Song Chen really couldn't think of any place that was more suitable for them.
After Cang Xiuxuan built that city, he originally planned to give it to Song Chen. Naturally, he would not have any objections to her request, and he also found an opportunity to take Song Chen there immediately.
The set departure time was five days later and was handed over to Cang Xiuxuan, so Song Chen ignored it. After all, Cang Xiuxuan was much more professional than her in these matters.
When Cang Xiuxuan went up the mountain to find them for the first time, he didn't tell Song Chen.
He had to go find them first to clarify the matter, otherwise it would be a huge hidden danger in the future.
Everyone knows that the Protector was executed because he was accused of assassinating him. The people of the Protector somewhat resented him, and he himself felt guilty towards the Protector.
Cang Xiuxuan was right. The people of the Protector had always held a grudge against him. If it hadn't been because of his assassination, the Protector would not have been charged with such a crime.
When they saw Cang Xiuxuan appear in front of them, they were all very excited. They immediately surrounded Cang Xiuxuan, and they seemed to be refusing to let Cang Xiuxuan leave safely.
Cang Xiuxuan put his hands behind his back, showing no defensive posture.
His eyes were calm, as if he had ignored his deep thoughts.
"Cang Xiuxuan, you actually have the nerve to come!" Zhang Yukun was the deputy general of the Protector of the Country at that time, and he had a particularly deep memory of Cang Xiuxuan's face.
Cang Xiuxuan had been mentally prepared before coming here. Although what happened back then was not what he wanted, the final result was irreversible.
"Cang Xiuxuan, if you had died back then, we would have felt better. At least our master would be buried with him, but why are you still alive? All our masters are gone, but they are all gone!"
"Cang Xiuxuan, why didn't you die in the first place?"
The vicious words coming out of their mouths are much better than those of people in the market.
Cang Xiuxuan didn't take it to heart at all.
"The Lord Protector did die because of me, so I can tolerate whatever you say now, but after today you will know what to say and what not to say."
Cang Xiuxuan glanced at everyone indifferently.
"It can be said that I didn't know anything about what happened back then. From the time the accident happened to the time the Protector's Mansion was raided, I was in a coma. It's quite stupid for you to put hatred on me these years! The reason why I
The only reason I tolerate you until now is because I feel guilty towards the Protector."
This guilt is only because the person involved has him.
"I don't know how it happened, and neither does the Protector. Isn't what we should do to make ourselves stronger to find out the person behind the scenes and take revenge? You have treated me with all these years.
Living in a state of hatred, is this loyalty to your old master?"
His words were like a knife piercing directly into their hearts, causing them so much pain that they could not speak.
What Cang Xiuxuan said is absolutely right. They are living in a haze now. If Song Chen hadn't brought them together, they would probably be a pile of withered bones in a short time.
When the time comes, they will have no face to see the Protector!
