Just for a moment, the store door opened quickly, and the waiter hurriedly walked in. Before he could speak, he heard a childish voice asking: "Uncle, can we leave here?"
With this question, the already silent room became even more quiet and could be heard.
The waiter looked at the little girl, who was no more than five years old, with expectant eyes. He paused when the words reached his lips. With just this movement, rustling sounds came from all directions, as if she was caught in a silk net and struggled. Open prey.
The waiter heard the sound and looked to other places in the store. He saw that everywhere he could see were simple beddings, and the beddings were filled with ordinary people in thin clothes and in embarrassment. At this time, their eyes were staring at His eyes were filled with deathly despair, so helpless, and his eyes were burning.
"Has anyone in the caravan responded to the news that was spread?" Compared to the many desperate voices, this question was calm and composed.
The clerk quickly came back to his senses and looked at the shopkeeper who asked the question without hesitation, "Yes! As soon as the villain spread the news, there was a response. They said..."
The shopkeeper was sitting on a wide chair, holding the teacup in his hand imperceptibly, but his face showed no signs of it, and asked: "What did you say?"
"They said that 378 people in the caravan have entered the city. They will search from the south of the city to the north of the city. They will take all the people who have not left and retreat to twelve cities!"
The shopkeeper was stunned on the spot, and then asked as if he wanted to understand: "How much silver do they want?"
After finishing his words, the shopkeeper continued to call: "Xiaowu, call Xiaoba and Xiaojiu, bring out all the silver and prepare it. Put in the one hundred taels of silver that I took out from home. No matter how much they want, we will do it." Promise, anyone who goes to the city to help at this time is a good person..."
Xiaobaxiaojiu, who was called, opened her eyes wide in shock, "The shopkeeper can't do this! A few days ago, there were reports from other places that the boss was rectifying the shop, and I heard that many stewards have been sent to the Yamen! If you do anything now Got this money..."
"This place is close to the front line. The front line is not secure. People are escaping in the city. It's so chaotic that we lost the money..." The shopkeeper frowned. He has been a shopkeeper all his life and has been in charge of money all his life. He has never let the money go to waste. Having made the slightest mistake, he was facing the bottom line that he had adhered to all his life at this moment. It was a step beyond which he could no longer have a clear conscience or be frank.
"That's right...of course..." Ying Ying couldn't say the word.
But the shopkeeper could feel that he was being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes. These dozens of pairs of eyes were of both young and old, but they were equally weak.
They may not have known each other in the past few decades, but now, he knows that they all have the same identity - Chengzhou people.
As a member of the chaos, he felt the same for their despair, so when there was still a little thread in his hand that could be used, he wanted to do his best.
"Of course..."
The waiter Xiao Wu who had just entered the door was stunned to see that things were going wrong, and hurriedly explained: "No money, no money! They came here after receiving the order from the boss! The caravans staying in Shang Shuangzhou are all in action now. Bring the people on the front lines to the rear for protection! When they heard that people were being taken in in our store, they asked the villain to thank the shopkeeper on his behalf! They also said that someone would come to pick us up and evacuate together in a quarter of an hour."
After saying this, the people were stunned, even the shopkeeper was stunned.
"You said...the boss?"
The shopkeeper has followed too many bosses, and has seen people abandon their mansions, concubines, and wives and children in times of crisis... It is human nature to flee between life and death, and he has never felt there is anything wrong with this... Feeling cold.
So when he experienced it personally, he couldn't bear to give up on other people who were also his subjects, and couldn't bear that they were like those poor people.
However, what Xiao Wu is saying now is that Dongjia has never thought of giving up on them, and she even wants to save everyone who can be saved!
How could a businessman do such a thing of "losing all his money"?
Save the people, protect the people and retreat from twelve cities in a row...this...this is not something that a business owner who puts profits first can say...
"The boss...is it Yi Da's boss?" Some people couldn't bear it
Zhu asked aloud, but after asking, he thought, besides Yi Dadong, who else could have such a big deal?
There were far more civilians on the front line than there were soldiers, and the money required to escort them all down was beyond the reach of ordinary businessmen.
"Of course it's Master Yi." Xiao Wu didn't know why the shopkeeper and this person asked such questions, but he became anxious when he saw that the people here were not quick to pack up their things, "Why are you guys still standing there?!"
The shopkeeper finally came to his senses at this time. Looking at the unkempt but red-eyed people in the room, his mind sobered up for a moment. He steadied himself in an instant, and then he said: "Everyone, our Leping caravan leader Everyone, go to a safe place!"
When the girl heard the sound, she looked around and saw more people with red eyes and tears.
Peace is something we often talk about, but it is precious that can only be understood after experiencing it.
Yi Dadong’s…Leping Caravan…
The girl remembered it in her heart. This was the savior who took them away from the war-torn place.
After driving for ten days day and night, Bai Guo and others finally entered Shang Shuang Prefecture when the sun set. At this time, countless people from Shang Shuang Prefecture were bringing their wives and children out with their packed salutes. City Gate, with a look of panic or suppressed worry on his face.
Ice and snow, the twelfth lunar month of winter.
After leaving here, where can they go? Can they persist to their new destination?
Compared with their huge leaving team, Bai Guo and the other hundreds of people could not create any disturbance at all. What may have caused the disturbance was their abnormal behavior in entering the city.
Countless people stopped and looked at the people on horseback, wondering who these people were.
Those who can ride a horse are rich people, but the rich people have already packed up their things and ran away first.
The only ones who could still ride horses were officials, but apart from telling them to leave early, their magistrates spent the rest of the time gathering with magistrates from other counties, magistrates and others to think of solutions, and rarely came out.
So where is the official coming now? Is it from Beijing? Did they get the message? Have you sent someone? How many tens of thousands more troops are there?
Bai Guo glanced casually, not lingering on these expectant eyes, but directly asked: "Where is the county magistrate?"
It was only at this moment that many people came to their senses from the woman riding a horse with the man.
The woman's appearance arouses admiration from the world, but what is even more frightening is her extremely flamboyant eyes.
Shocking the past and present.
Pang Yang didn't like that everyone was staring at Ging Guo for so long, so he asked again with a majestic voice: "Where is the county magistrate?!"
Many people were affected by Pang Yang's oppressive aura and immediately replied: "In the original county, there is also a prefecture!"
This news is no longer a secret, and it is because these people are still there that they feel there is still hope and hesitate to leave.
Bai Guo's eyes fell on their thin-clothed bodies in the eyes of many expectants, and he continued without any pause: "Leave Shang Shuangzhou and go to Yi Dadong's shop. Someone will arrange your food and accommodation there."
All the people were shocked and surprised, but Bai Guo had already withdrawn his eyes.
Pang Yang loosened the reins almost at the same time, and the horse immediately galloped in the direction of Yuan County.
The secret guard Deadpool behind him immediately followed, and a hundred horses passed through the cumbersome crowd and entered Shangshuangzhou completely.
Countless people looked at this scene and were stunned for a long time before someone asked with confusion: "What are they going to do?"
Don't they know that the Saudis attacked the city eight days ago, and the frontline soldiers were unable to stop it, with more than half of them being killed or injured, which led to the retreat of two cities three days ago?
"The woman riding a horse with the man... seems to be Princess Kangle." One person said hesitantly: "There were rumors that Princess Kangle and General Chizhong followed Yi Dadong's family northward..."
There are probably only a few people who can tell you to go directly to Yidadong’s store.
Before he finished speaking, another person's eyes widened, "Is it really possible that it's General Chizhong? Does Kyoto already know what's going on here?!"
These words asked everyone's thoughts and also asked everyone's expectations.
As long as Kyoto knows, as long as the emperor knows, they will be saved!
Many people stopped and stopped walking, and many people stared at others, obviously unable to make up their minds.
There were obviously groups of people, but they were a little too quiet at the moment.
After another two breaths, someone suddenly continued to step outside. Many people were still hesitant and others were even more embarrassed. Chinese website
In fact, I still feel reluctant to leave here, and I still feel worried about my home.
"If it is really Princess Kangle and General Chizhong, then the Grand Governor must have already known about it, and the army is also preparing. This means that we only need to wait outside, and we will be saved when the army arrives!"
Someone said as they walked outside, "If not, we will die if we stay."
This analysis was very thorough, and many people who were still hesitant finally gritted their teeth and followed.
Yes or no, we will know after some time, but if they stay, they may die!
Besides... they no longer have to worry about survival!
Hope was rekindled in everyone's eyes, and there was strength in every step.
Yuan County is not far from here. When the sky was completely dark, Pang Yang had already brought Ging Guo to the city gate. At this time and during the special period, the gate was closed, but there were patrolling guards on the city gate. When he saw Ging Guo and others Nearly a hundred people came from far and near, beating gongs and drums.
The sound of gongs and drums shook the city, and in just a moment of burning incense, countless city guards came to the city gate, holding weapons in their hands and looking tough.
Bai Guo and others came closer at this time, and they understood when they saw the formation above the city gate, but Bai Guo did not speak and signaled Pang Yang behind him.
Pang Yang understood immediately and said in a deep voice: "I am Chi Zhong, go and inform the state immediately."
There was a violent commotion above the city gate after the word "Chi Zhong" sounded. In a short time, someone asked: "How do you prove that you are General Chi Zhong?"
Pang Yang rarely mentioned his identity outside, and now he hesitated when he was asked like this, not knowing how to prove himself.
Bai Guo's eyes were fixed on the high wall. When he saw the hundreds of soldiers illuminated by the several lit up braziers above, he frowned slightly and said to Pang Yang, "Just let Zhizhou come out to recognize the people. It doesn't take much more." explain."
