Crossing the famine, the special agent peasant girl blows up one by one
Chapter 47 Recruiting troops
Qu Qiuning squatted down and held the boy's chin with one hand, "You are not afraid of death, so why are you afraid of telling the truth?
If you die, will your family be sad? If you die, will all the injustices in the world be changed? If you die, there will just be another pile of dirt on the hillside.
As a man, you have no love for life, no courage to take responsibility as a man should, and you just choose death. You are a coward.
If you want to die, go ahead and die. I won't save another coward."
Qu Qiuning turned around and was about to leave, but the young man suddenly hugged Qu Qiuning's legs.
"I said, I said."
The boy spoke with a choked and hoarse voice.
"My sister and I were the children of an escort. Once, we were robbed by criminals while escorting a caravan. When my sister and I went to look for water, all the goods had been robbed and my parents had died tragically.
Helplessly, my sister took me to wander around, and we were framed by bad guys on the way. In order to save me, my sister chose to be captured.
After my sister was taken to Jincheng, she was sent to the arena and became a gladiator slave.
I heard that an ordinary gladiator slave was worth one hundred taels of silver, so I tried every way to collect the silver to redeem my sister.
But no matter what I did, I couldn't earn any money and I became a beggar.
I found out that it costs twenty taels of silver to visit a gladiator slave, so I had no choice but to steal your silver.
But when I took out the silver and gave it to the manager of the arena, they snatched it away along with the remaining silver and beat me up.
What happened afterwards, I don’t know.”
After the boy finished speaking, tears were already streaming down his face.
After hearing this, Qu Qiuning and the other two understood the reason why the kid stole the silver: he just wanted to see his sister who had been captured and made a slave in gladiatorial combat.
Qu Qiuning helped the boy up and wiped the tears from his face.
"Sister, please save my sister. I don't want her to die."
"Don't cry, let me think about it." Qu Qiuning turned around and sat back at the table.
You two come over here and tell me what’s going on in this arena. Qu Qiuning poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
Song Yanfeng walked quickly to Qu Qiuning's side and sat down, saying in a flattering manner.
"I've heard of this. It's about bribing some martial arts warriors and letting them choose their opponents on the field. A competition is held every five days to see who wins and who loses, regardless of life or death."
After Song Yanfeng finished speaking, he looked at Qu Qiuning, waiting for her praise.
Qu Qiuning frowned and continued, "Then can the people watching here place bets? This is a gambling game, right?"
"Aning is so smart," Song Yanfeng praised with a smile.
"Do you know who is the boss behind this arena?"
Qu Qiuning guessed that many bureaucrats would be involved in such money-making industries.
Song Yanfeng leaned his head slightly closer to Qu Qiuning and whispered, "I heard it was the city lord Zheng Biao."
Cheng Yi punched the table, causing the teacup to shake.
"This crooked official is a disaster to the people." Cheng Yi's eyes were filled with anger.
Qu Qiuning was not surprised to hear that it was the city lord, as she had expected it.
She was only two hundred points short of system space to upgrade. Was this arranged by fate?
I got five hundred yuan for saving the young man. If I saved her sister, would I also get five hundred yuan?
There is also the problem of transporting rice out of the city. How to solve it? Qu Qiuning stood up and walked around the room.
"When is the next competition in the arena?" Qu Qiuning asked.
"The day after tomorrow," the boy replied quickly.
"Tomorrow is the tenth anniversary celebration of Baihua Tower," the young man continued.
"Will the city lord attend the celebration?" Qu Qiuning asked.
"I know this," Song Yanfeng said.
"The mayor of Jincheng usually doesn't attend such celebrations, but his son Zheng Linxiu is a man who loves to have fun."
When Qu Qiuning heard what Song Yanfeng said, the corner of his mouth curled up and he instantly came up with a plan in his mind.
When Song Yanfeng saw Qu Qiuning's triumphant look, he prayed in his heart: Lin Xiu, please don't blame me, I had no choice but to do this, and I will compensate you in the future.
Qu Qiuning had an idea in his mind and his mood improved.
"Hey, come here." Qu Qiuning waved to the boy.
The young man walked up to Qu Qiuning and timidly looked at the man who had scolded him awake.
"It's not impossible for me to save your sister, but I have a condition."
The young man opened his eyes wide in confusion, and he said, there is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world.
Qu Qiuning saw what the boy was thinking and quickly added another sentence.
"After rescuing your sister, you and your sister will both work for me. But don't worry, this is not some murder or robbery business. Five years. Once the five years are up, I will set you and your sister free immediately. You must think carefully about this."
The boy gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement. This was better than seeing his sister die in the arena.
Cheng Yi looked at Qu Qiuning, then at Yunfeng lying on the bed. The girl asked him to take Yunfeng away, and now she has taken in this brother and sister. What does she want to do?
However, Cheng Yi's puzzled expression was caught by Qu Qiuning. Haha, what did she want to do? Of course, she wanted to recruit soldiers and build her own team. Was she going to wait for others to bully her and she was unable to fight back?
Cheng Yi walked to Yunfeng's bed and sat on a stool. Seeing that Yunfeng's face was no longer so pale, he could finally put his heart at ease.
At midnight, Yunfeng finally woke up. He saw the young general he had been looking for for a long time right in front of him. He excitedly wanted to stand up and salute, but was stopped by Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi put his finger on his lips, signaling Yun Feng not to reveal his identity.
When Qu Qiuning saw Yunfeng wake up, he handed the glucose water with antibiotics on the table to Chengyi.
"Give him a drink."
Cheng Yi took the bowl and fed it to Yun Feng with a spoon.
"Yunfeng, how do you feel?" Cheng Yi asked with concern.
"Much better." Yunfeng replied in a hoarse voice.
He thought he would not survive this time, and in a daze he seemed to hear the young general's voice.
He thought he was hallucinating, but when he looked up he really saw the little general, so he took out the small wooden sword, but he could no longer hold on and fainted.
He Yunfeng was the personal bodyguard of General Su Chengyi. In order to divert the pursuers for Chengyi, he led the pursuers to another direction alone during the southern battlefield.
He finally escaped from the enemy's pursuit, but was chased by assassins again on the way north. He escaped from death and hid in a beggar's den, disguised as a beggar. Fortunately, he found the young general.
Qu Qiuning was speechless when she saw Cheng Yi and the other man's expressions, as they wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
"Let's go out and let them talk."
Qu Qiuning said to the young man and Song Yanfeng, then walked out of the room, leaving Cheng Yi and the other two behind.
As soon as Qu Qiuning left, Yunfeng immediately spoke up: "General, I finally found you. Where's Yunxiang? Why can't I see him?"
Cheng Yi bit his lip, took a deep breath, and then told them about how they were being chased by a killer.
"Are you saying Yunxiang is dead?" Yunfeng looked at Chengyi in disbelief.
