Chapter 92
"Oh! I just left the house that was just repaired. I really can't bear to leave it like this!"
"Grandpa, it's not like we won't come back. Mr. Qin has said that we will be able to come back when the war is over."
"We are fighting every year, for several years at a time. When will we be able to finish it~"
An old man, with the support of his grandson, locked the door of his home, and then followed the people out of the city and walked out of the city.
Most of the people in Cang County are ordinary people who have experienced hardships in the city, and some of them were former bandits.
But no matter who it is, they all have deep feelings for this home in the city, and they are very reluctant to leave this home now.
Some people even started crying as soon as they closed the door.
Since it was already approaching dusk when the organization was organized, it didn’t take long for the torches to be lit.
The people's torches formed a long dragon, extending outside the city until they disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Qin Yu stood on the top of the city, watching the people leave, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never let the people abandon their family property to avoid the disaster of war.
Zhao Xingzhi walked up to the top of the city and came to Qin Yu's side.
"Master Qin, I will bear in mind today's kindness." Zhao Xingzhi said to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu looked at Zhao Xingzhi, stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Xingzhi's hand, and said, "It's useless to talk more. I just hope that Mr. Zhao can protect the safety of the people. Mr. Zhao can dispatch the troops and horses I left behind at any time."
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, Zhao will definitely fulfill his mission!" Zhao Xingzhi assured Qin Yu with a firm look.
After being polite, Zhao Xingzhi walked down the city, ready to leave with the people.
However, just as Zhao Xingzhi left, Zhao Ling'er climbed onto the city wall again, holding a small package in his hand.
"Sir~" Zhao Ling'er looked at Qin Yu with some embarrassment and clutched the small package in her hand tightly.
"Miss Ling'er, what's the matter?" Qin Yu looked at Zhao Ling'er and asked.
Zhao Ling'er bit her lip and put the package in Qin Yu's hand.
"I know you are going to fight. I hope this breast shield can protect you."
Qin Yu took the package, took out the breast shield inside, and stroked it carefully.
"What Miss Ling'er gave is so precious. I must take it with me, otherwise Miss Ling'er will worry about me."
"Who, who is worried about you? I, I'm just afraid that you won't come back and won't be able to help me make money! Humph!" Zhao Ling'er blushed, snorted, turned around and ran away.
Qin Yu held the breast protector and said with a smile: "Girl, what are you so shy about? If you care about me, just care about me."
It didn't take long for the people to leave the city. In the mountains in the distance, you could vaguely see the lights of fire flickering in the forest.
Qin Yu walked down the city, where Lao Huang was waiting for Qin Yu's orders with three hundred men and horses.
"Sir, the common people have all left the city. We have checked and found that there are no common people in the city." Lao Huang reported with his hands in hand.
Qin Yu nodded with satisfaction, then patted Old Huang on the shoulder and said, "Old Huang, I will leave the city to you. Once there is a request on the mountain, you must cooperate immediately."
"promise!"
"Also, if the Chu army invades, they are not allowed to defend the city. I will abandon the city immediately and leave. But the position of the people must not be exposed."
"Don't worry, sir! Even if I die in the battle, Lao Huang, I will still ensure the safety of the people on the mountain!" Lao Huang assured, patting his chest.
"Not only do I need to ensure the safety of the people, but I also need to ensure your own safety. When I come back, I want to see a healthy you!" Qin Yu patted Lao Huang on the shoulder and said.
Lao Huang grabbed Qin Yu's shoulders.
"Sir, why don't you go? Let's switch, let me go and you stay!"
"What are you talking about? What are you doing here, you old boy? You don't have the strength to take the head of an admiral out of ten thousand armies, so why don't you go ahead? I'll give you a piece of earwax!"
Qin Yu knew that Lao Huang was worried about him. Qin Yu did not need to lead the troops himself. It was enough for Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan to lead the troops.
But if Qin Yu does not go, I am afraid that if there is a disagreement between Qin Yuan and Gongsun Qi, it will be disastrous.
Even if this possibility does not arise, the effect they can achieve may not meet Qin Yu's expectations.
As he spoke, the ground trembled slightly, and a gentle roar sounded.
I saw a group of cavalry slowly coming from the city.
This cavalry wears black armor, and their helmets are inlaid with movable masks. They are armed with spears, swords, or scimitars on their waists.
The war horses are even equipped with saddles and stirrups that have not appeared in this era, as well as horseshoes nailed to the horses' hooves.
The leaders were Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan, both of whom were holding fine steel spears and wearing bronze swords at their waists.
Lao Huang brought the war horse for Qin Yu and handed over Qin Yu's spear and sword.
"Sir, you must be careful when you go here. The people and I are waiting here for the triumphant return of you and your brothers!"
"Waiting for the triumphant return of adults and brothers!"
Lao Huang and a group of soldiers raised their hands to Qin Yu and a group of soldiers.
Qin Yu got on his horse and raised his spear, "The whole army obeys the order! Unless the general orders, the whole army is not allowed to make a sound! The whole army goes out!"
"promise!"
The entire cavalry marched out of the city without any sparks, taking advantage of the moonlight.
A thousand cavalrymen, each with two horses, one horse carrying people and the other carrying goods, drove out in a mighty manner.
In the distant mountain forest, a figure stood on the edge of the cliff. The city gate of Cang County could be seen in the distance.
"Master Qin, I hope you can come back safely." Zhao Ling'er faced the moonlight and prayed for Qin Yu.
Zhao Ling'er may not have noticed it, or maybe she is unwilling to admit it.
Ever since that day, when Qin Yu destroyed the Cang County Army, Qin Yu's domineering and heroic appearance had left a deep mark on her heart.
"You girl, you say you don't care, but you come here to watch me off."
The sudden sound startled Zhao Ling'er, and when she turned around, she saw her mother, Mrs. Zhao.
"Mom, why are you here?" Zhao Ling'er's pretty and rosy face looked even more delicate under the firelight.
Mrs. Zhao came over holding a torch and patted Zhao Linger's forehead.
"Girl, if you leave the team without authorization, everyone will be far away. What if you encounter wild beasts in the mountains or something like that?"
"Mom, I was wrong, let's go back now." Zhao Ling'er stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly to Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao looked at the city at the foot of the mountain in the distance and asked, "Ling'er, do you really care about that Qin Yu?"
"Mom, what did you say!" Zhao Ling'er's pretty face turned even redder, and she hurriedly lowered her head in order not to let her mother see her.
Mrs. Zhao also understood when she saw this situation.
It's just that Mrs. Zhao is very curious. How come this girl of hers has such a high vision that she was captured by such a small county captain? Is it because this kid is young?
"Forget it, you young people can take care of your own affairs. Let's go and follow the courier, otherwise it will be bad if we encounter wild beasts."
Mrs. Zhao sighed slightly and pulled Zhao Linger up the mountain.
