From the end to the other world

Most of the valley was instantly illuminated by torches, and the night watchmen were startled, and then there was a rush of horns.

Before the sound of the horn stopped, the soldiers who were sleeping in their clothes ran to their posts as fast as possible and stood up. Qin Luochuan saw someone running towards the carriage he was in, but he didn't get off the carriage immediately. Instead, he stared at the group of victims on Xipo motionlessly.

When the torch was lit, he obviously heard a commotion over there, and some people even lit the torch, but then the torch was extinguished for some reason, and the crowd quieted down.

But Qin Luochuan knew that they must be watching this side carefully in the dark, and they didn't know when they might take action.

It was a little soldier who Qin Luochuan was familiar with who came to deliver the message. When he stopped in front of the carriage, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he still mustered up his courage and shouted inside: "Lord Qin, something happened."

"Go and have a look." Qin Luochuan replied.

His voice came from the roof of the car, Xiaobing couldn't help being stunned when he heard it, and when he saw Qin Luo jumping off the roof with ease, he was so surprised that he even forgot to say anything.

Qin Luochuan didn't even think about explaining to him why he had such a skill, so he took the lead in walking towards the place surrounded by torches to the north.

The little soldier who sent the message hurriedly caught up.

When Qin Luochuan arrived, Pei Qingrong had already led a group of soldiers standing guard in front of the camp, confronting the group of people holding torches less than five meters away.

When Qin Luochuan approached, Pei Qingrong lowered his voice and reminded: "My lord, these people are not disaster victims."

"I know." Qin Luochuan replied with a nod. Although these people were dressed in the same clothes as those victims in Xipo, the muscles hidden in the ragged clothes were very strong. What's more, such a large group of people were all A man in his prime doesn't even have an elderly child or a woman. Where would the disaster victims who escaped from the disaster have such a configuration, but anyone with a little thought would know that there must be something wrong with this group of people.

Before Qin Luochuan came, they could tell at a glance that Pei Qingrong was the person in charge. After Qin Luochuan came, he saw Pei Qingrong report to him again, and the leader of the group opposite had his eyes on the two of them. Turning around, looking at Qin Luochuan, he said, "We brothers and our family members haven't had enough food for a month, so please take pity on us, please give us a bite of food."

What he said was prayer, but the arrogance in his expression was undisguised.

But since he didn't tell the truth, Qin Luochuan followed suit and said stupidly: "The emperor is merciful and pity the people affected by the flood. He sent me to help everyone. When we arrive in Xigu tomorrow, we will not only provide porridge every day, but also organize dredging of the river, Flood discharge and drainage, so that everyone can return to their homes as soon as possible.”

When he said these words, he deliberately raised the volume. The valley was quiet at night, and the victims on the west slope could hear them clearly. After a slight commotion, it quickly returned to silence. Obviously, Qin Luochuan's words meant to them It worked.

When the group of people on the opposite side discovered that there were other disaster victims on the hillside, they wanted to use words to mobilize the emotions of the group of people so that they could follow him and better cover up the original purpose of the incident.

After all, after arriving in the West Valley, everything will be done according to the rules, and all the victims can get is food that will not starve to death. Unlike now, once they succeed, the food and even money they can get will be enough for everyone to live through this year, and even Possibly a windfall.

But they never thought that they would be soothed by Qin Luochuan's few words, and those real disaster victims in Xipo were quieter than before.

The leader saw that he spoke calmly, and there seemed to be disdain in his eyes, so he couldn't help but look cold, took off his disguise, raised his chin and said: "Today's food, whether you want to give it or not, we will order it. .”

Qin Luochuan frowned and asked, "Didn't the person who asked you to do this tell you what crime you should be in for robbing the court of relief supplies?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the leader to answer, he continued: "I think I definitely haven't said that."

"We're just hungry and want something to eat. No one told us to do that," the leader sneered. "As for the crimes your lord said, we'll starve to death without these things anyway. Why don't we just let it go?" Give it a try, maybe you can live a few more days."

"Extremely stupid." Qin Luochuan scolded.

The leader smiled instead of anger, "Since you are in a high position, you naturally don't understand that for us disaster victims, nothing is more important than filling our stomachs."

"If it's just to fill your stomach, the official said that we will provide porridge when we arrive in West Valley tomorrow," Qin Luochuan said flatly, "Why do you have to find such an easily exposed reason for your behavior?"

"My lord makes sense," the leader looked at Qin Luochuan with a half-smile, and said sarcastically, "Then why did your lord accompany me to talk so much? Could it be that he wanted to imitate the sages? Is your tongue educating us fools before the battle?"

"Of course not." Qin Luochuan twitched the corners of his mouth, glanced at the crowd opposite him with disgust, and said disdainfully, "I've never even bothered to say anything to those who insist on doing stupid things."

"Then just now, my lord..." The leader's face changed suddenly before he finished speaking.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of hurried hooves and orderly footsteps came from the road Qin Luochuan and the others had come from.

"Are you just delaying time?" The leader asked sharply.

Qin Luochuan hooked his lips, "What do you think?"

The reinforcements arrived quickly. After approaching, they had no more scruples. They also lit the torches. The bright flames reflected the faces of the horsemen. When Pei Qingrong saw it, he exclaimed in a low voice, "A man from General Sun?"

"Well," Qin Luochuan nodded, then took a step back, and said loudly, "Don't let any of these people go."

After speaking, Qin Luochuan continued to walk backwards, wanting to return to the camp.

How could the people on the opposite side do what he wanted, they quickly surrounded him, trying to catch him and threaten others.

Pei Qingrong, who was standing not far from Qin Luochuan, immediately intercepted him with his spear, and the rest of the soldiers responded quickly, but two of them ran to Qin Luochuan's side quickly.

Unlike the soldiers in the camp who used spears as weapons, most of the people on the opposite side used swords. As soon as they got close to Qin Luochuan's body, two swords gleaming with cold light greeted Qin Luochuan's neck and chest.

"Trying to murder an official of the imperial court should be punished for the crime." Qin Luochuan said coldly, but his figure didn't stop. When the two men attacked, he quickly dodged it, and then he drew his sword out of its sheath to resist the two men the second wave of attacks.

He is a civil servant. Although he has a sword on his body, everyone in the camp thinks it is a decoration. Some people even speculate whether it is a sacred object bestowed by the emperor. Who knows that he really knows how to use it. The soldiers who want to come forward to help After seeing it, they were shocked and slowed down a beat.

The two people on the opposite side originally thought they would hit with a single blow, but they were easily dodged, but Qin Luochuan even drew his sword to fight back, and they were also stunned for a moment.

With such a dazed effort, Qin Luochuan's sword had already touched theirs, and then the swords in their hands slammed into Qin Luochuan's sword as if they were attracted by something, and then clung to it.

At the same time, Qin Luochuan kicked up quickly and kicked away the hands holding the swords of the two men. The soldiers who originally planned to come up to help found the opportunity to step forward and restrain the two robbers who had no swords.

Qin Luochuan forcefully separated the two swords that were glued to his own sword, and said in a low voice, "What kind of material do you say is not good for making swords, but you must use iron."

After speaking, he put his sword back into its sheath, turned around in front of the restrained two people, and said indifferently: "Forcing a civil servant to do it, you are too cruel, aren't you?"

When the two were restrained, their wounds were still bleeding, and Qin Luochuan almost vomited blood when they heard this.

Who would have thought that he, a civil servant, would be so skilled.

He just finished dealing with the two people on his side, when he heard someone from the fighting crowd over there shouting loudly: "Brothers, since they don't give us a way to survive, then they don't want to feel better, don't they want to give us the food? , then it’s ruined.”

Qin Luochuan's expression changed when he heard the words, and he quickly walked towards the vehicle with supplies.

But there was already a curl of green smoke rising from there.

When everything was over, it was already half an hour later. All the robbers had their weapons confiscated, and they squatted on the ground in a row with their hands tied.

Qin Luochuan walked slowly in front of these people, and when he passed by the leader, he heard him yelling and cursing: "Since you have caught me, kill or cut as you please."

"Don't worry," Qin Luochuan said, "As an official of the imperial court, I will not lynch you."

As soon as Qin Luochuan finished speaking, a soldier who was going to inspect the supplies ran over, and said with a strange expression: "My lord, seven vehicles with supplies were burned down."

The leader also heard these words, and his expression suddenly became smug, and said sarcastically: "Since your lord is so fair and honest, I don't know how you, as a responsible official, should ask the crime if you don't know that you have lost seven carts of supplies?"

Qin Luochuan flicked his sleeves and said: "Since the seven carts of supplies for the common people are missing, then hand over the culprits like you to the common people."

Except for the leader, the rest of the people all turned pale when they heard the words. If the government punished them, even if their crimes were punished, they would die happily. If they were handed over to the victims, they might even be cut alive.

Qin Luochuan ignored them, but turned around to check the burnt supplies.

It is impossible for him to hand over these people to the victims, at least he has to find out who is behind him from the leader.

The soldiers who came to pass the message followed behind Qin Luochuan, and when they were about to approach the burned cars, they finally couldn't hold back, and murmured: "My lord, those burned cars were not filled with food."
