There is a drought at the moment, and there are countless refugees fleeing famine. If another group of soldiers come at this moment and forcefully recruit young men under the banner of conscription, it will be a disaster for the refugees.
She retreated quietly, but there was still an argument ahead.
After killing the first person, the refugee will be afraid for a moment, but then resist.
If they resist, they will die. After being conscripted, they will still die, but they will definitely die. If they resist, there is still a glimmer of hope.
"Holy crap, that's nice to say? On the surface, we are being levied just to have a scapegoat in the war? No matter what, we will die, I will fight with you!"
Not all of these people are refugees, there are many refugees who have escaped from the war. I originally thought that the war was over, but I didn't expect that some people's ambitions were just hidden.
"Yes! Why should we be taxed?"
"You never treated us as human beings."
"Be bold, we are King Xiang's army."
"Bah, what does King Xiang mean? He is a traitor and a traitor. Now he is recruiting troops for the purpose of treason—"
Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke, and the leading soldier looked furious, "Damn it! A bunch of untouchables!"
"Kill me. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"
The leader reached out to draw his sword, raised his hand, and gave an order. The soldiers behind him were ready to attack and drew their swords one after another.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad and mom, let's go quickly."
After hearing Ying Qingci's words, Ying Wangzhu and the others didn't bother to ask any more questions, picked up the things on the ground and ran out quickly.
There are only two forks here, one of which is a straight road, which is the road going south, and the other is a winding road. Ying Qingci and the others don't know where this road leads.
The soldiers went around killing them. Wherever they passed, there was blood everywhere and corpses fell to the ground.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The screams of women, the cries of children, the bloody eyes of the men, the clenched fists, and the arrogant and unscrupulous laughter of the soldiers were all particularly dazzling in this bloody environment.
"stop!"
"Quick, go!"
There were sounds one after another, tiny footsteps, Ying Qinghan supported Huang Xuecao, Ying Shuangsong supported Ying Wangzhu, and Ying Qingjia held Ying Qinghao.
Ying Qinghan clenched his hands into fists, and his fingernails dug deeply into his palms. After running for a long time, he felt sweat dripping from his forehead. Now they were racing against time.
"Ahan, hold on!"
Ying Shuangsong looked worried when he saw Ying Qinghan's appearance.
"Dad, don't worry, I will persist."
During this period of time, his health has improved a lot, and he is no longer as weak as before. Today, because he was running too anxiously, his physical strength suddenly dropped and he did not replenish it properly.
"Ah!" Zhu Qing suddenly fell to the ground. Others looked at her with worried faces, and their footsteps were forced to stop.
There was a deep pit where Zhu Qing fell to the ground. It must have been dug out by the refugees. Zhu Qing didn't pay attention for a while and fell to the ground.
"Auntie——"
"Child mother—"
"The third daughter-in-law!"
"Dad, grandma, you go first -"
Ying Qingci raised his head and looked at Ying Wangzhu and the others. Before they could speak, he frowned and said, "Dad, grandma, don't worry, we will be fine!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Ying Wangzhu gritted his teeth. There was no other way now. He believed that Xiaoliu had a way to deal with it.
"Auntie, are you okay?"
When Ying Wangzhu and the others left, Ying Qingci turned to look at Zhu Qing with worry in her eyes.
Suddenly, Ying Qingci turned sideways and raised his foot to directly kick a knife that came out of the blue.
'boom--'
The knife was kicked to the ground. The soldier holding the knife looked surprised, but quickly reacted, "Tsk, he's still a little pepper, I like it."
He rushed straight towards Ying Qingci. Ying Qingci's expression turned cold, and Zhu Qing's face turned pale.
"little six!"
"court death!"
Ying Qingci bent down, turned sideways, grabbed the man's side wrist with her right hand, put one hand on the man's waist, and threw the man directly with one force.
"boom!"
The man was thrown to the ground. Ying Qingci raised her hand and knocked him unconscious. She bent down and helped Zhu Qing up.
"Auntie, are you okay?"
"It's okay, Xiaoliu, are you okay?"
Ying Qingci shook his head, "It's okay, let's go find Grandma and the others."
"good."
Just now, they were hurriedly escaping from the pursuit, and their family was disrupted. Now, Ying Wangzhu and the others are still some distance away from them. If they can't catch up as soon as possible, they may be in trouble.
They chased Ying Wangzhu and the others in the direction they fled. As soon as they walked out of the woods, Ying Qingci took a quick look at Ying Wangzhu and the others who were surrounded by soldiers. There were some unfamiliar faces beside them. Their clothes were They are ragged, and they are probably refugees too.
"Xiao Liu, it's your father and the others, they..."
Zhu Qing also saw the soldiers surrounding them, each holding a weapon and with an arrogant look on their face, looking down at the refugees surrounding them.
hateful!
Ying Qingci tightened the knife in her hand and glanced around. After seeing the stone not far away, she said, "Auntie, hide behind the stone and come out again when it is safe."
"good."
Zhu Qing knew that if she followed Ying Qingci, she would definitely be held back.
After Zhu Qing was settled, Ying Qingci slowly approached the circle of chaos. As soon as he got close, he heard the arrogant words of the soldiers.
"If you refuse to join King Xiang's camp, you will only die."
"It is your great blessing that King Xiang has taken a liking to you. Even if he asks you to die, you should agree with a smile!"
All the faces of the refugees surrounding the circle were filled with anger, and there was a bit of darkness in their eyes. These people thought they were superior. In their eyes, they were as insignificant as ants. They could crush them with just one step. Kill them.
"We will not give in!"
"Tsk, surrender?" The leading soldier snorted coldly, his eyes falling disdainfully on the man who spoke. With a slight movement of his half-raised finger, the soldier behind him lit up his blade.
"kill!"
When Ying Qingci saw this, she moved slightly and rushed out, kicking the soldier who was in front of her. Then, the sword fell on the soldier's neck, killing him with one blow.
Just when she was about to go inside to greet her family, a black figure suddenly jumped out from the darkness and knocked the blade in the soldier's hand to the ground.
When he raised his sword with his backhand, the soldier who dropped the sword was killed with one blow.
Cleanly, every sword landed on those soldiers accurately.
After him, another group of men in black quickly appeared, following the young man who led them. Obviously, the young man was their master, but the young man who led them wore a silver mask on the left side of his face.
The mask covered his appearance, but it couldn't cover his aura.
"Who are you?"
The leading soldier looked at the sudden appearance of this group of people and was shocked.
"Do you know who we are?"
