After an unknown amount of time, Mi Youzhu felt like he was suddenly hit by something, and he opened his eyes in a daze.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a man's face covered in blood.
This man is dead.
There was still half of his body pressed against Mi Youzhu.
A few seconds later, Mi Youzhu screamed, his body instinctively shrank back and rolled, a little further away from the dead face.
"what sound?"
Zhao Xuening turned around and scanned the battlefield he just passed.
Shimada Shinbei immediately stood in front of Zhao Xuening, and the Japanese samurai guards around him also stepped forward to protect Zhao Xuening. Everyone scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
No, they had already taken care of all the Xishan soldiers here. The last one was stabbed through the body by Zhao Xuening himself just now with a lunge.
Is there anyone alive?
Then, they saw a living person.
Yes, a living person.
Zhao Xuening walked forward a little and took a look.
Good guy! What two big eyes!
Take a closer look.
Oh, it seems... it's a girl's house.
It's not Zhao Xuening's fault. Mi Youzhu was covered in dirt and dust. His face and hair were also covered in dust. His face and neck were all black. He couldn't see clearly on the battlefield filled with thick smoke. , and can only see two eyes rolling around.
These eyes were full of fear.
Zhao Xuening stepped forward, and Shimada Shinbei quickly blocked Zhao Xuening and ordered the personal guards around him to step forward and bring the living person over.
Two Japanese samurai stepped forward and carried Mi Youzhu, who was shaking in shock and unable to stand due to weak legs, to Zhao Xuening.
Well, with long hair, she does look like a girl.
His hands and feet were also tied up.
"Are you...Han?"
"………………"
Mi Youzhu heard the familiar Cantonese Mandarin, blinked his eyes, looked at Zhao Xuening, and then at Shimada Shinbei and others beside him.
Doesn’t it seem like a Xishan soldier?
"Are you...Han?"
"I am Zhao Xuening, President of the Lanfang Republic, and they are my subordinates."
Zhao Xuening signaled his guards to let go of Mi Youzhu, and untied the ropes from her hands and feet.
"Lan Fang...Zhao Xuening?"
Mi Youzhu had the impression that she had heard of these two names.
her father had said to her.
Lanfang is a country established by the Han people on Borneo in the south.
Zhao Xuening, the leader of this country, is said to be very good at fighting and doing business, and is very powerful.
He...why are they here?
Mi Youzhu's head was dizzy and he couldn't react.
Zhao Xuening looked at Mi Youzhu and roughly knew that she was a Chinese woman who was kidnapped and brought here by the Xishan Army. She must have fainted during the shelling and chaos just now, and she just woke up now.
Fortunately, he didn't die.
It looked like her clothes were still intact, but a little torn, so they probably hadn't been ruined yet.
Lan Fang's army had just crushed them.
After a burst of shelling, the Xishan Army in this barracks collapsed. Lanfang's army rushed into their barracks and basically annihilated all the remaining Xishan Army with bayonets drawn.
Nearly a thousand troops, led by Nie Fangliang, the captain of the first battalion, pursued the retreating Xishan soldiers, while the remaining troops stayed in the Chaigun area to clear out the remaining enemies.
At this moment, Zhao Xuening brought the personal guards over to inspect the battlefield, and to finish up, see if any of the missed bastards were still alive, and give them a touch-up.
This group of beasts are not even qualified to work as coolies alive. If they see someone who is not dead, they will go up and send him to hell with a bayonet.
After Lanfang's army invaded the Xishan Military Camp, they discovered that there were a large number of Chinese women who had been kidnapped. Some of them had died in previous battles due to bad luck, and those who survived were shivering in the camp.
After being rescued by Lanfang's army, the women who had not been raped hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Those who had been ruined had dull eyes, holding their scarred bodies in silence, silently, and then when the Lanfang soldiers were not paying attention, they picked up a knife and wiped their necks.
Zhao Xuening saw with his own eyes a girl covered in scars screaming and hitting a Lanfang soldier's gun, piercing her body with the bayonet.
He didn't have time to stop it.
Then he ordered that these women be gathered together and guarded. The soldiers guarding them put away their bayonets and were not allowed to take them out, and they would never let them commit suicide.
Then, he issued a killing order.
All thieves in the Western Mountains will be killed!
Now that he met this kidnapped girl, Zhao Xuening felt full of sympathy.
He stretched out his hand to straighten the girl's hair and dusted her body.
"Girl, who else is in your family? Where did you originally live? Are there any relatives elsewhere?"
Mi Youzhu looked at Zhao Xuening blankly, Shaoqing, his mouth dropped, and big tears welled up in his eyes.
She suddenly threw herself into Zhao Xuening's arms and cried loudly. Shimada Shinbei was startled and he reached out to pull the girl away.
Zhao Xuening decisively stretched out his hand to signal Shimada Shinbei not to make any move.
He sighed and hugged the dark-skinned girl, thinking that this was another poor person whose family was ruined by the Xishan Army.
After a while, Mi Youzhu's crying gradually subsided. Zhao Xuening patted her back and said warmly: "Do you have somewhere to go?"
"No more...father...mother...brother...all dead..."
She choked and said: "The house was also burned... nothing is left..."
Zhao Xuening raised his head and looked at Shimada Shinbei, who had a look of helplessness and sympathy on his face.
There are too many such people these days.
Most of the Chinese women in the military camp just now were like this. The beast-like Xishan bandit soldiers killed their parents, family members, husbands and brothers, leaving only them.
The only good thing is that they are still alive.
Tragically, they are the only ones left alive.
Zhao Xuening has already thought about how to arrange these women in the future, but he must first send them back to Lanfang to settle down.
So Zhao Xuening patted Mi Youzhu's dirty head.
"May I have your name?"
"Mi... rice young bamboo."
"Rice of rice?"
"Um."
"Young bamboo is..."
"Young...bamboo..."
"Oh, Mi Youzhu..."
Zhao Xuening nodded slowly: "This name sounds quite educated. Have you ever read a book?"
"Um……"
"oh?"
Zhao Xuening was a little surprised.
A woman who has read books?
Is he of extraordinary origin?
"Where is your family?"
"Dad is in business, running a rice store..."
"No wonder."
Zhao Xuening understood that it was normal for girls from big business families to have studied.
In this way, this girl had a pretty good background. Unfortunately, she lost everything after encountering this catastrophe. If she hadn't met Lan Fangjun by chance and survived, her whole life would have been like this.
After thinking about this, Zhao Xuening had some thoughts in his mind.
"Do you know how to read and write?"
"able."
"That's good, I'll arrange for you to go to Lanfang, find you a job, and then try my best to search for your relatives here. If we can find better ones, we will send them to Lanfang together. If we can't find them, you will be alone. Be strong and look forward, as long as you are alive, there is still hope."
Mi Youzhu looked at Zhao Xuening blankly.
"Going to Lanfang?"
"Well, I heard that the Xishan bandits were massacring compatriots here, so I led my troops over to support them. Unfortunately, I came a step too late. Now the dead cannot be resurrected, so we can only take away the living."
Zhao Xuening said slowly: "Go to Lanfang, I will arrange for you properly."
After saying that, Zhao Xuening smiled and patted Mi Youzhu on the head.
"I'll have someone take you to a safe place, and then you can follow them to the port and take a boat to Lanfang. Don't worry, you'll have food and drink, and you won't be hungry."
After speaking, Zhao Xuening looked at Shimada Shinbei.
"Shinbei, arrange for two people to take her to a safe place."
"Hi!"
Shimada Shinbei immediately arranged for two subordinates to step forward and take Mi Youzhu away.
Mi Youzhu instinctively grabbed Zhao Xuening's wrist, looking uneasy.
"Don't worry, it's okay. They are all my subordinates."
Mi Youzhu lowered his head, still holding Zhao Xuening's wrist, shedding tears one by one.
Zhao Xuening looked at Shimada Shinbei again, and Shimada Shinbei still looked helpless.
Apparently, there's nothing he can do about women.
We were still on the battlefield, so we couldn't take her to clean up the battlefield.
Zhao Xuening thought for a while and said to Shimada Shinbei: "Well, this battle is almost over. I will deal with the affairs of this group of women. Shinbei, you lead the people to continue cleaning the battlefield. Remember, Fanxi Mountain Bandit Soldiers , not living people, just dead people.”
"Hi!"
"Also, organize the manpower and chop off all the heads of these thieves. I want to build a Jingguan!"
Zhao Xuening glanced at the corpses of the Xishan bandit soldiers around him with cold eyes.
Shimada Shinbei nodded immediately.
"Hi!"
