The old monk was overjoyed and quickly took the wolf tooth from Ren Ning's hand as if he had found a treasure.
"Amitabha, you are so good. There is a saying in Buddhism that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. The merits of this deed of a benefactor are immeasurable, and God will repay you sooner or later."
Ren Ning waved his hand calmly, "Master, it's too late. Let's wait until the food is actually distributed to the people of Laigu."
He did not believe in Buddhism, and his hands were still covered in blood.
I don't care about God's generous rewards at all.
The most important thing is that the provisions and doctors behind the Eighth Prince were collected and set out in the middle of last year. However, one year is about to pass, but it is still stuck in Laigu County, and it is not known when it will be delivered to the Yankuo Fortress.
By analogy, even if Yingpan purchases the food and delivers it in time, who knows when it will be in the hands of the people?
Maybe it's the moon in the mirror again.
"The donor does not need to worry too much. Lao Na has led his disciples to preach Buddhism and save the people in Laigu County for some time. They have formed many good relationships, so they are still a bit thin."
He said: "As long as your wife sends the grain to Laigu County, Lao Na will be able to distribute it one by one to the people who are in urgent need."
Ren Ning and Ren Ning were doubtful.
Soon they believed it.
As ships headed west along Laishui River, they would occasionally encounter rebels blocking ships.
The opponent held a sharp weapon and boarded the ship with murderous intent.
However, after seeing Master Hongguang on the boat, most of the rioters quickly apologized and then respectfully let the boat leave.
Occasionally, if you encounter a few people who refuse to let them go, you only need to give them some broken silver, food or even cloth, and you can continue to the west without using force.
It actually saved Ren Ning a lot of worry.
He looked thoughtfully at the small villages or small towns along the coast that were closed and guarded.
Princess Yiguang had just sent her escort to Laigu County at the end of last year, so it was not strange that the coffin of General Huo Zheng, the Duke of Old Town, could be returned to Xingji City smoothly.
It is estimated that Master Hongguang put a lot of effort into it.
After another three days, the ship successfully reached the upper reaches of Laishui River.
Ren Ning and Lei Er went ashore.
The two of them looked up and saw the rolling green mountains in front of them.
It is the long-lost Luoxia Mountain.
Amitabha!
Master Hongguang sang a Buddhist chant and said goodbye on the boat.
"Let me send you two here. The road ahead is winding and difficult, and there may be Xiliang troops. Please take care of yourself and come back soon."
After watching the boat leave, the two of them rested for most of the day even though they were impatient. After the two horses regained their energy, they entered the vast Luoxia Mountain.
They took the post road.
Ren Ning looked around with his golden finger and found no danger.
"Chasing the wind and running for the thunder," Lei Er joked, patting his beloved horse, "You two are really not up to par."
After training in the Huchou River in the south for so long, the seasickness of the two horses only improved a little.
Ren Ning said nothing.
The boat Master Hongguang found was not big, and most of the time the two horses could only stand motionless. Even if they flicked their tails, they would hit the cabin.
That is to say, Zhuifeng and Benlei have received strict training, and they will stay still without making a sound no matter how uncomfortable they are. If it were another fierce horse, they would have lost their temper and capsized the boat.
After a few miles, there was a smell of meat coming from the front.
When Xunxiang took a closer look, their faces changed drastically.
At the corner at the foot of the mountain ahead, squatting were a group of people in ragged clothes and dirty bodies.
They made a fire and were roasting a human-shaped object. The severed head and stripped clothes were thrown not far away.
Ren Ning's eyes narrowed slightly.
The clothes thrown on the ground looked familiar to both him and Lei Er. They were actually the uniforms of the county soldiers.
He couldn't even identify which county soldier he was from.
It is estimated that this county soldier was preparing to return east or west to deliver the news, but he was poisoned here.
Sizzling...
The stomach-churning sound of popping fat could be heard from time to time.
However, this group of people didn't care at all. Instead, they stared at the fire with gleaming eyes. They looked like wild beasts that chose people to devour.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, they turned to look.
"Two horses!" Someone shouted in surprise.
And they were two strong and fat horses. It looked like they could feed them for several days.
In an instant, a pair of hungry green eyes turned blood red.
"Two fat sheep are coming. Capture the two horses first, then kill the two and burn them."
Ignoring the meat that was about to be roasted, the leader took the lead and rushed forward with his only hatchet.
Lei Er looked away from the clothes on the ground, and the veins on his forehead jumped.
He turned to look at Ren Ning and saw that his face was expressionless and showed no intention at all.
drive!
Rushing like thunder and lightning.
Lei Er, who was on his back, raised his machete with a cry and struck it out hard.
The light of the knife flashed.
The leading bandit's eyes were fixed greedily on the two horses. It was not until Ben Lei rushed in front of him that he noticed the weapons gleaming in Lei's hands, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Nielie!" He yelled strangely.
However, before the voice fell, he was cut in two by Lei Er with his sword as he had no way to hide.
Buzz~
"Run quickly."
The bandits who rushed over later were frightened out of their wits. They threw away their sticks and turned around to run away.
Everyone wishes their parents had two extra legs,
However, it was impossible for two legs to outrun Ben Lei's four legs, and there was Ren Ning coldly raising his bow and arrow from behind.
Whenever he sees someone running out of Lei Er's attack range, he will shoot them with an arrow.
Not long after, only two of the more than twenty people were left alive, trembling and kneeling in front of Ren Ning.
"Two kings, spare your lives." They banged their heads, "As long as they don't kill us, the younger ones are willing to do whatever they want..."
Ren Ning ignored this and asked coldly: "Where did the county soldiers come from, and who killed them?"
"I don't know," the two of them chatted with each other, "we saw him lying on the ground when we came down the mountain, so..."
snort!
Lei Er slashed with his sword, and blood suddenly flowed from one of the men's arms.
"If you don't tell the truth, you'll die!"
The two were so frightened that they screamed: "Don't kill us, we really don't know where he came from and where he went."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a while, they finally calmed down and quickly pointed at the leader of Lei Er who attacked first, "Dagang set a trap for hunting, but he didn't catch it.
Wild beasts. We were so hungry that we..."
The man hesitated and said no more.
Ren Ning was silent for a long time before speaking: "Are you from Laigu or Dingxi?"
The two looked at each other in even greater panic, and had no choice but to answer in trembling fear: "Lai... Laigu."
"Where do you usually live?"
"Luoxia Mountain," the two of them did not dare to think too much and raised their hands to point to the mountain. "Laigu County is now full of war and chaos. We have been hiding in the Jingang Village on the mountain for several months."
They felt a little aggrieved and said, "If we hadn't had nothing to eat, we wouldn't have gone down the mountain."
Ren Ning nodded.
Jingangzhai is an old place.
Lei Er led people to kill him once when he passed by Luoxia Mountain when sending the spirit back home. Unexpectedly, it has become a den of bandits again.
He asked again: "Where in the Luoxia Mountains are the Xiliang people now?"
"People from Xiliang," the two remaining survivors looked at each other in shock, "Have people from Xiliang come here to kill us?"
Ren Ning said nothing and waved to Lei Er.
It seems that this group of people has no idea what happened to the west of the Luoxia Mountains. There is no need to ask any more questions to avoid dirtying their mouths.
"Bury him." Lei Er pointed to the meat ball on the fire.
Under the bloody sword, the two of them did not dare to disobey, so they had to hold back their saliva and go back to take the human body off the fire and bury it together with the head.
As soon as the soil was covered, Lei Er's eyes flashed fiercely, and he slashed hard with the machete in his hand.
The two of them knew something was wrong, but they were still lucky. When they saw Lei Er take action, they couldn't help but look shocked.
It's just that they have been short of food and clothing for a long time, so they can dodge Lei Er's sword.
There were two swishing sounds, and blood immediately splattered on the spot.
Ren and Ning drove their horses away with cold expressions, ignoring the bloody corpses on the ground.
