After being forced to marry a tyrant: I overturned the original plot
Chapter 66: Casualties, when it rains it pours
Qin Xin rode fast on his horse and caught up with the fleeing bandit leader in a few seconds.
The thief leader picked up the sand on the ground and threw it at Qin Xin's face.
She dodged, but this gave the thief leader a chance to counterattack.
"Pfft-"
Qin Xin heard the sound of the knife sinking into the flesh.
But there was no pain.
Qin Xin looked and saw a soldier standing in front of her. Before the knife he raised could pierce the bandit's chest, it was stabbed through the body.
She froze.
Everything happened so suddenly that she didn't even see it clearly.
"Protect the empress!"
However, Ge Weili and the other soldiers did not stop because of the sacrifice of this young soldier. They rushed over to protect Qin Xin.
When the bandit leader saw this, he got on the young general's horse and ran away without saying a word.
Qin Xin's eyes turned cold and he clenched his teeth.
"Walk."
She looked back at the young general's body, then calmed herself down and continued to move forward.
Qin Xin stopped when they reached a safe distance from the valley entrance.
"How dare you, a bunch of scoundrels, rob the disaster relief supplies of our Chen country? Leave now!"
The pioneer who just ran back said to the leader at the right time:
"Be careful, she has an ambush! She knew we had an ambush, so she ambushed us too!"
The leader, who was dizzy from his several ambushes, frowned.
"What and what?"
The leader of the bandits who escaped from Qin Xin suddenly laughed arrogantly.
"Kill her, it's worth it to kill her! She has no poison at all, and no elite troops to support her. She is bluffing! Kill this woman——"
Before he could finish his words, he was killed by a single blow.
The blood splattered three feet away, blending into the light-colored sand and gravel, making it extremely eye-catching.
Qin Xin's eyes trembled, but she quickly regained her composure.
Silently hold the reins in your hands.
It was Gawli, he sheathed his bow—
Wait until they return to the group and then shoot them in public to serve as the greatest warning.
"Your Majesty's imperial envoys dared to rob, they must be tired of living."
"Yeah, we are tired of living. There are only so few of us. Let's see how you kill us."
Qin Xin glanced upwards from the corner of his eye and immediately puffed out his chest, more arrogant than the bandit.
The leader was obviously enraged. First, he watched his brothers being killed, and then he was provoked by Qin Xin.
He narrowed his eyes and moved his hands.
He prepared to give a secret signal to the brothers above, telling them to throw stones at anyone who came close to the valley entrance, which was only wide enough for one car to pass through.
For fear of arousing suspicion from Qin Xin and others, he did not act immediately. They had not yet reached the best position, so it would not work yet.
So he deliberately led his men to retreat.
"It's just a way to make a living, don't take it seriously. Since you can't beat them, why don't you just stop?"
Qin Xin also cooperated and drove his horse forward.
Ge Weili knew that there was an ambush above, but Qin Xin had reminded him not to alert the enemy, so he didn't dare to look up.
But when he saw Qin Xin moving forward, he became extremely nervous again, and sweat began to drip from his forehead.
The queen is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger...
How terrible!
Qin Xin: Sister System, whether I live or die depends on you.
System: Don’t mess around! Why are you trying to be a hero? Don’t we have soldiers to charge into battle?
Qin Xin did not respond, but just rode forward.
"If you surrender, I will spare your life."
Seeing Qin Xin using himself as bait, Ge Weili also moved forward.
"My lady, why waste your breath, just do it."
He had just killed a leader of the other side, and when he said this at this time, it seemed very confident to the bandits on the opposite side.
Also, it can be very infuriating.
"Do it!"
The leader pressed his hand down and shouted loudly.
But, after one breath, nothing happened; after two breaths...
He looked up suddenly and saw that the men who were trying to push the stone were slashed in the neck by the soldiers who were moving forward slowly.
Instead, there was a team of archers.
Qin Xin used the same gesture as the leader and pressed down——
"put!"
Several arrows were fired at once, and countless bandits were shot dead.
But the bandits came to their senses and immediately fought back.
"kill!"
The officers and soldiers behind Ge Weili rushed forward and fought with the bandits.
Qin Xin was protected behind the crowd.
This was the first time she had experienced such a scene since she came into this world.
Real fighting with swords and guns, blood, swords, screams...
Qin Xin closed her eyes, then forced herself to open them.
Always have to face...
Her throat felt bitter, and she suddenly thought that she was not much braver than Gu Fei.
Qin Xin looked into the distance, Gu Fei, I hope you have a smooth journey.
Not long after, Ge Weili wiped his sweat, rode his horse to Qin Xin, saluted, and replied.
"My lady, the casualties were minimal, thanks to your...strategy."
The word "fraud" turned around several times but he didn't say it out loud.
Ge Weili had a look of joy on his face, but Qin Xin couldn't smile.
She watched the wounded being carried onto the carts and their wounds being treated; she watched the bodies of the dead being buried on the spot.
"them……"
At this moment, Ge Weili realized that no matter how extraordinary the queen was, she had never experienced such a scene of casualties.
He hurriedly said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will have someone write down their names and ancestral home, and I will go back to comfort their families."
Qin Xin nodded.
Perhaps, in their eyes, she is pretentious.
It was quite a shock to her that a stranger, whose name she didn't even know, stood in front of her and died to protect her.
"Take off the accessories on them and take them back."
At least, leave a thought for your family.
……
Gu Fei and his party traveled for another two days. Seeing that the elderly imperial physician could hardly hold on any longer, he ordered the team to rest at an inn.
"How is Doctor Zheng?"
Even though Gu Fei stayed at the inn for one night, he was not idle. He was looking at the next route map and the topographic map of Shuiyue City.
Seeing Suifeng coming in, he asked.
Suifeng noticed that Gu Fei had lost weight visibly in the past few days, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw him still looking at the blueprints at this moment.
Your Majesty is truly diligent and loves the people.
Why was he known as a cruel and cold-blooded tyrant in the first place?
Perhaps it is this face and this cold temperament that have misled the public.
"I took the medicine and went to sleep. I was just tired. It's nothing serious."
Gu Fei felt relieved.
Imperial Physician Zheng is an expert in treating epidemics, and nothing can happen to him.
You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry...
Or maybe he was in too much of a hurry to get on with his journey.
But the rain outside was intermittent and there was no sign of the sky clearing up completely, so he couldn't help but be anxious.
"Any news about the people who were sent out to mobilize personnel and disaster relief supplies from the surrounding counties?"
Along the way, he sent out many people to contact the surrounding prefectures, counties and towns to support Shuiyue City in advance.
Relying solely on these people and goods in the capital, they have already been exhausted after the long journey, and disaster relief is just a drop in the bucket.
All available human and material resources must be mobilized. Just like in later times, when disaster strikes, all sides will come to the rescue.
"Not yet."
"Well, keep staring."
Suddenly there was a noise outside.
"Open your dog eyes and look, whose token is this? Our master wants a room upstairs to have some hot wine and food, what's the matter? Why are you refusing to entertain us?"
"Go quickly. No matter who comes, make room for them."
"There really is a noble from the capital inside... Don't, don't use force, I really didn't lie to you."
Where had the postmaster ever seen such a rude and arrogant local tyrant?
But with so many private soldiers...
It doesn't look like it comes from a regular source.
So I just mediated carefully.
Unexpectedly, people went straight to the room on the second floor where the noble lived to make trouble.
Suifeng held his sword vigilantly and walked to the door.
Gu Fei put the picture away and his expression became serious.
"boom--"
The door was violently broken open.
"I want to see who is so blind as to block the way of our Lord Governor!"
