Chapter 44 Under the command of the beautiful woman
The vast grassland is filled with pastures as far as the eye can see. Looking around, the lush green grass is really beautiful and makes people feel relaxed and happy.
But in this beautiful picture, there is an annoying touch that completely ruins the beauty of the entire picture.
This is a group of people walking on the vast grassland. They are in ragged clothes and have sallow complexions. Among hundreds of people, there are only three or four horses in total, and they are all old and weak horses.
Walking at the front of the crowd was an old man. He had gray hair and his clothes were torn into strands, exposing his bony ribs. It was obvious that he had been malnourished for a long time, and his face had a sallow appearance.
These are refugees, people who fled from other alliances.
Qi Zieg reined in his horse and looked at the line of troops in front of him while riding on his war horse, feeling deeply moved in his heart.
Over the years, she has seen countless such situations, but every time she sees them, she always feels very uncomfortable.
When she was the daughter of a prince, Qiqig was different from other princesses in that she was very enthusiastic and helped the poor people in the alliance many times. Therefore, she was called the "Gelsang Flower of the Mongolian Grassland" by the local people.
In the motorcade, a middle-aged woman suddenly started crying while holding her child. She stumbled to the old man and cried to him.
Listening to her narration, the old man showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and then sighed, "Sister-in-law Qi, I also know that the child will not survive if he doesn't eat, but you have also seen that there are so many of us, but there is still food.
Even the bark was eaten away yesterday."
The middle-aged woman's eyes showed a look of despair. She also knew the situation in the team, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that a miracle would happen.
Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen. The team had long since run out of food, and the child in his arms seemed to be dying. Without some food, he might not be able to survive.
At this time, his eyes suddenly saw Qiqige and the others standing aside. His eyes suddenly lit up. He staggered to her and ran to her. He knelt down with a thud and cried, "Sir, please do it."
Okay, the child hasn't eaten for three days and is about to die." After saying that, she kowtowed on the ground, and soon there was blood on her forehead.
After listening to what she said, Qiqig turned back to a guard and said, "Give her some food."
The guard opened the bag on his back, took out a piece of cheese and some beef jerky, and handed them to the middle-aged woman.
Qiqige smiled and said, "Auntie, I've given these to you. Go back and make some for the children. Don't starve them."
That kind of middle-aged woman was overjoyed, kowtowed repeatedly, and ran towards the team with her things.
There was a commotion in the team, and many people looked at Qiqige and the others with a little unkind look in their eyes, probably because they were thinking about their food.
But the ten guards behind Qiqig shocked them, and the spears on their bodies made these people understand that the other party might not be that easy to mess with.
Since they were not that easy to mess with, they set their sights on the middle-aged woman who had just brought back the food. Several guys gathered around her, and it was obvious that she had evil intentions.
As soon as the middle-aged woman took out a piece of cheese, she saw the people gathered around her. She was so frightened that she stepped back and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Bring out the food." The leader growled viciously while advancing forward with wolf-like eyes.
The middle-aged woman hugged the child with one hand and protected the dry food that Qiqige gave her with the other hand. She kept shaking her head, "No, I can't give it to you. This is the child's life-saving food."
Several people swarmed up and pushed the middle-aged woman to the ground. No matter that the child in her hand fell to the ground, they reached out to break off the hand holding the dry food and said, "Let go."
"I won't let go, even if I die." The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and allowed several guys to hit and kick her, but they just held on to the food and refused to let go.
"Grandma, if you don't let go, I'll beat your little brat to death." The guy in the lead was irritated. He grabbed the crying child on the ground, raised it high above his head, and shouted, "Let go, let go.
.”
At this time, the other people in the team stopped and watched silently. No one said anything, because these people were all villains in the team and were used to bullying others. Even the old man who led the team could not be offended.
Get them up.
The woman hesitated for a moment and seemed to want to let go.
But the guy couldn't wait any longer. He lifted the child over his head and roared at the woman, "You stinky woman, I'll throw him to death."
At this moment, a figure flashed past him, causing a gust of cold wind. Then the boy felt a pain in his wrist and couldn't help but loosen his grip.
A hand stretched out from the side, gently grabbed the child from his hand, then held it in his arms, and stopped the horse not far away.
After stepping back a few steps, the guy reached out and covered his wrist. Only then did he realize that there was a bloody mark on his wrist that had been pulled out by the riding crop. It was now red and swollen. He raised his head in shock and anger and looked at the opposite side, "Who is this?
You dare to hit me, uncle."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a horse parked opposite. Riding on the horse was a woman with a very beautiful appearance.
However, when he saw the two guns slung across his waist, the boy wisely swallowed the second half of his words, "Grandma, I can't afford to offend this kind of person, it's better to keep a low profile."
Holding the child in her arms, Qiqige glared at the rogue opposite. She had seen the scene just now, so she took action to save the child.
She recalled what a tutor once said when she was studying abroad, "When people are in extreme embarrassment, moral constraints will be infinitely close to zero."
Yes, on the verge of starvation, the evil nature of these human beings is completely exposed, and even several times or dozens of times more radioactivity is released outwards.
This is a very frustrating fact that no one can change!
Ten guards came to her side. Although they were new recruits, they had all undergone rigorous training, so they looked very powerful, intimidating the few guys on the opposite side.
"Don't be afraid, little brother, sister will take you to find your mother." Qiqig reached out and touched the child's face, then jumped off the horse and walked towards the opposite side.
A dozen scoundrels stood there, not knowing what they should do. They wanted to stop them, but the rifles in the hands of the ten people opposite made them feel chills in their hearts. In the end, they still did not dare to move.
The middle-aged woman looked at Qiqige who was approaching, and was extremely excited. She hurriedly came up to meet the child, took the child back into her arms, and rubbed the child's cheek with her palm, which had been stepped on in many places, saying, "Child
,my child."
Qiqige suddenly turned around, staring at the dozen scoundrels with dagger-like eyes, and his voice was cold, "You crazy scum, you even rob the children of their food rations."
More than a dozen people lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak, lest the ten men in front of them shoot them.
The people around were watching, but no one spoke for them, because everyone was bullied by these guys along the way, food was robbed, things were destroyed, and some women were even molested.
Everyone hated these guys to death. If they weren't worried about the revenge of these guys after Qiqige and the others left, they would really want to reveal all the viciousness of these guys.
Seeing that these people were silent, Qiqige shouted at them, "Remember, if you dare to bully others again next time, let me know and I will kill you all."
These guys were dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to express anything for the time being, so they had to lower their heads and say yes again and again.
Thinking that these people wanted to repent, Chichige lectured them a few more words, and then led them away from here and ran away in the distance.
They left, and the team temporarily regained calm. The scoundrels, probably because of the remaining power left by Qiqig, did not come to trouble the middle-aged woman for the time being, allowing her to feed the cheese to the child.
The team continued to move forward, and after walking less than half a mile, a puff of smoke billowed from the distance. It seemed that the direction was exactly this way. As it got closer and closer, they could see a group of soldiers in military uniforms.
The people in the team were frightened. What they were most worried about was encountering the army, because these people were more vicious than bandits, and they would be unlucky if they encountered them.
What came was a cavalry unit. They rode war horses, carried sabers on their backs, and carried carbines on their backs. They all wore their hats crookedly, and they looked arrogant and did not look like good people.
These hundred or so cavalrymen are all private soldiers of the prince who is in charge of this alliance. This prince is also the best friend of King De.
This time, the cavalry company came out to inspect the area bordering King Ha's territory in the east on orders from Shangfeng, and at the same time to inquire about the news there.
Recently, the news of King Ha's surrender has spread throughout most of the grassland, and he naturally knew it. As a prince bordering King Ha's territory, he was naturally more nervous than others.
Stopping his horse in front of the team, the cavalry company commander raised his head and looked at the ragged refugees in front of him. He felt a little displeased in his heart and wrinkled his nose. "What a damn unlucky thing. I met such a group of beggars when I went out."
"What do you do?" A soldier pretended to be intimidating and shouted to the group of refugees on the opposite side.
Among the refugees, the old man walked out, bowed to the company commander, and explained the origins of these people.
After a long while, the company commander waved his hand and ordered someone to hand a stack of portraits to the old man, "Old man, take a closer look. If you meet this person, remember to report it to the master immediately. Do you hear me?"
The old man took the stack of portraits, nodded and bowed to the company commander, and agreed.
The cavalry company commander waved his hand impatiently and was about to rush over on horseback.
At this moment, a scoundrel who was looking at the portrait beside the old man suddenly shouted, "I have seen this man before."
