Shen Qingci was the first to speak. She frowned slightly and her tone was a little surprised.
"Feng'er, you usually lead troops to fight, are you so ruthless?"
"Fifty people, killed on the spot?"
Facing Shen Qingci's question, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel funny.
He shrugged and explained disapprovingly: "Where is this? If it is a real battlefield, let alone fifty people, even five hundred people, it is just a number."
"Human life is naturally worth more than a thousand pieces of gold in life, but on the battlefield, it is worthless."
Qin Feng is not cold-blooded, he has just seen too many life and death, and is fully aware of the cruelty of the battlefield, which is why he keeps a distance from the battlefield.
Qin Feng would never use troops easily unless absolutely necessary.
Shen Qingci said nothing. She looked at Li Xiaolan and Jing Qianying and found that the eyes of the two women were not much better.
After all, in their perception, Qin Feng is an extremely gentle and humorous person. No one could have imagined that Qin Feng's dangerous side could be so decisive.
But the girls knew very well that it was precisely because of Qin Feng's ruthlessness that they were able to live a relaxed and comfortable life.
Otherwise, it would be their turn to deal with these delays and helplessness.
Because of this, although the five female relatives were surprised, they were not too entangled.
The team continued to march. These fifty roadblocks were just passers-by and could not leave many memories at all.
In less than two days, everyone had forgotten all about these fifty people.
But Qin Feng has not forgotten the fact that those die-hards intend to assassinate him. Since the other party has come one group, there will definitely be a second group. Moreover, Qin Feng concluded that the power of these die-hards was not small. Although it was not as exaggerated as that of the feudal officials, it was certainly no different from the local powerful.
After all, after Qin Feng takes Beidi, the entire pattern will change accordingly, which is commonly known as "shuffling".
Once the cards are shuffled, the interests of these powerful locals will definitely be shaken.
The simplest way to deal with it is to attack Qin Feng, the "source".
As expected by Qin Feng, Liu Ming soon reported again that there was indeed another group of people on the road ahead, and this time the number of people on the other side had not increased by a tiny bit, there were more than 300 people.
This number is already double that of Qin Feng's guards.
Once a close encounter occurs, casualties will inevitably occur, so for the sake of safety, Qin Feng did not hesitate and directly ordered a detour.
At the same time, secret military guards were dispatched to send orders to Li Zhang in the capital to strictly investigate all forces in the capital of Beidi.
Although this move cannot quench the thirst of the near, but as long as it appeases the aristocratic families in Beidi and prevents them from sending a large number of troops to pursue Qin Feng, then it will be regarded as a great achievement.
As for the small army, Qin Feng is worthy.
Of course, whether it is true or not is one thing, and whether it is a detour or not is another matter.
The team left the official road and traveled along the rugged wasteland, which greatly reduced their speed.
If this continues, it will take at least half a month to return to Daliang.
But as long as it can save the loss of our personnel and spend more time, it doesn't matter.
Even Shen Qingci accepted Qin Feng's suggestion that it was better to take a long way around than to confront the enemy head-on.
And because they have left official roads, the team will inevitably come into contact with the "most authentic" people's livelihood in Beidi during the march.
When the team came to a village, Qin Feng was immediately attracted by the "tragic" scene in front of him.
In a small village, there are only about twenty houses by visual inspection, which also means that there are only about twenty households in the village.
It happened that it was such a small village, but it was densely packed with more than a dozen corpses.
These corpses were either lying at the entrance of the village or under a tree. It was obvious that they had not died of starvation, but had been massacred.
When the female relatives saw this situation, they were naturally worried, especially Jing Qianying. As the Queen of Beidi, she naturally felt very sorry to see the people under her rule suffer such a misfortune.
"Feng'er, what happened to this village? Why is it such a tragic situation?"
Jing Qianying's face was extremely ugly, especially when her eyes fell on the corpses, her whole body became depressed.
Qin Feng has been hanging out with the army all day long, and he hasn't seen such a tragic situation for a long time.
However, compared to the tension and sadness of the female relatives, Qin Feng was the most calm.
"You can tell at a glance that it must have been robbed by bandits."
Hearing this, Jing Qianying couldn't help but frown.
"Thieves looted? Now that the war is over, why would someone still do such a tragic thing?"
Seeing Jing Qianying's indignant look, Qin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"This kind of thing is not uncommon. Even in peacetime, it happens occasionally."
"Although the war has ended, this country is still far from true peace."
"Everyone's life is hard!"
"With no way to survive, ordinary people have no choice but to turn into bandits, while rogue bandits have no choice but to rob their homes and homes in order to survive."
"In this way, the common people are harming the common people. In the final analysis, it is just for a bite to eat."
War can never solve problems. Only "food" can solve real people's livelihood problems, and if you want to harvest food, long-term peace and stability are indispensable.
The tragic situation in front of her was not a bad thing for Jing Qianying.
Only if she deeply understands the sufferings of people's livelihood can she empathize with them and formulate national policies that are truly suitable for the people.
Seeing Jing Qianying's depressed look, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
He immediately ordered the convoy to stop and asked Wu Tang to lead people to search the village to see if there were any survivors.
As Qin Feng expected, the whole village was empty.
Both the people and the food were looted.
Even if there are still ordinary people who are lucky enough to survive, they have probably been robbed by rogue bandits. As a labor force, ordinary people themselves are an asset.
Although it sounds cruel to say this, the fact is the fact and no one can change it.
Jing Qianying looked distressed at the tragic situation in this country. After a long time, she finally regained some energy and asked worriedly.
"Feng'er, what should I do to save the people from suffering?"
Feeling the expectation in Jing Qianying's eyes, Qin Feng just stretched out two fingers and said straightforwardly: "The first is authority, the second is peace."
"Authority means establishing a new order."
"And peace is to allow people to have time to recuperate."
"Avoiding any unnecessary war is the purpose of saving this country."
