The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 152 Help
On New Year's Eve, when we say farewell to the old and welcome the new, the sound of firecrackers continues in the county town. The evening fireworks have just finished and the early risers have started again. No one knows what Wang Lizheng's family has gone through.

At five o'clock in the morning, the watchman passing by Wang's house felt something smelling. He leaned down at the crack of the door and took a look. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground. The gong in his hand also clanged to the ground. It took him a long time to utter the sound. A scream: "Dead man!"

At the gate of the county government office, Li Weishan was very unhappy and angry when he got up. He accompanied his mother to watch the New Year's Eve last night, and he had slept very late. Who knew that as soon as he lay next to the pillow, the government servant on duty came over in a hurry and said that there was someone there early in the morning. Look at the county government hall drums.

Can this drum be played at will? Usually it can only be played when there is an enemy invasion or a disaster is coming. Li Weishan stepped on the heels of his shoes without mentioning it: "It's best if you have something to do with me. If it's nothing, let's see how the master handles it." you!"

The yamen servant carefully stayed by the side and did not dare to say a word. The lady who was waiting quickly pinched the cold water handkerchief and said: "Sober up. Since you are beating the drum, something must be wrong. Master, you should go out and have a look!"

Li Weishan cursed and walked to the gate of the county government office. He saw three common people kneeling there covered in blood and mess. When they saw him, they rushed towards him as if they were seeing a savior. The smell of blood made Li Weishan feel sick.

"Master Qingtian! You have to make the decision for us!"

"Master! Send troops to rescue people as soon as possible! If it's too late, all the people in our village will be dead!"

Li Weishan looked confused, what is going on?I can’t live without peace during the New Year, why do I have to start a fight?At this time, he thought it was a dispute between fellow villagers.

The visitors were none other than Wang Dun'er from Beishan Village, the third child of Wang Youcai's family, and Wan Baoshu, the eldest brother of Wan Baoquan.

Seeing that the old man was still drunk, the yamen servant beside him yelled at several people: "Why are you crying? Isn't it unlucky on the first day of the new year? If you have anything to do, tell me immediately!"

Not only did the master want to sleep, he also wanted to go home and sleep after his shift. Although being a yamen servant was more prestigious, he had to stay in the yamen on New Year's Eve, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Wang Dun'er and Wang Dun'er, who had never seen the world before, were instantly frightened and did not dare to say anything. Wan Baoshu was contemptuous in his heart but extremely frightened on his face: "Sir, the people from Liao Liao are calling!"

"What? What did you say?" Li Weishan looked in disbelief.

Wang Dun'er said boldly: "Sir, the Liao people are really here, and they have even reached the entrance of our village. We ran desperately to deliver the message!"

Li Weishan was completely sober now. He staggered and almost fell down. The government servant next to him quickly supported him and asked, "When did it happen? Why didn't you come earlier?"

Wanbaoshu felt even more contemptuous: I am an eldest master. Hearing the news of the Liao people, he was so frightened that he could not stand still. He could not be regarded as an old lady in our family.

Wang Youcai's youngest son cried: "Our mules were robbed by the Liao people halfway, and I was even stabbed and almost died!"

Wang Youcai's youngest son said, showing Li Weishan and the yamen servant the knife incision on the back of the shoulder. Fortunately, they wore more clothes in winter, so the knife only scratched the skin. Thanks to the thick cotton-padded clothes this year, otherwise he would have been dead.

Before Jingli and the others left, they arranged for someone to come over and report the news. The three of them hurriedly hurried and met Liao people near the county seat, and their mules were robbed. But it was strange that the Liao people seemed to be in a hurry. I was so busy that I didn't even have time to talk to them.

"Hurry! Hurry! Go and report to General Bai!" Li Weishan came to his senses and quickly asked the government officials to report the matter. Originally, this matter would not be reported to General Bai, but they still have their newly recognized nephew in Beishui Village. Wan Wan If something happens, he can't bear the responsibility.

Wanbaoshu cried sadly: "Sir, why don't you send some government servants to go back with us first? I'm afraid we'll be late when we go home." Wang Dun'er and the others also hurriedly cried and kowtowed. Wanbaoshu told them very clearly when they came, If we say we can solve it ourselves, the next time the Liao people come, not only will the government not take care of it, but they might even ask us to send people to help others fight against the Liao people. I have to be more pitiful and say that if we don't get help, we will need some subsidies.

Li Weishan's throat was tight. He didn't know how many people were coming. Where they were going to fight, if Chang'an had time to respond, and whether they would provide support.

The yamen servant looked at the adults and scolded Wanbaoshu and the others: "What the hell are you thinking? The yamen servants are going to help you fight the Liao people. Only the people in your two villages are human beings. The tens of thousands of people in our county are not human beings. They all go and help you." The county doesn’t care anymore!”

Wanbaoshu and the others were dumbfounded, and murmured for a long time: "Then what should we do? Sir, do you not care about us?"

Li Weishan had no time to pay attention to these people, so he quickly entered the county government office and went to discuss countermeasures with the master Bo and his master.

The yamen servant said angrily: "Are you watching? The adults are all anxious, but we are in a difficult situation. We have no one in our hands, and the Liao people are so cruel. How can ordinary people resist it?"

What he didn't say in his heart was that he knew how fierce the Liao people were, and these government officials were not soldiers in the military camp. Who would fight for you!

In the county government office, Li Weishan was discussing with Master Bo and Master: "These countrymen can't tell how many there are. One moment they said it was hundreds, and the next they said it felt like thousands. How can this happen?" Report it to the superior?"

Lord Liang bowed slightly: "Sir, let's not worry about how many people are coming. Let's report them to the superior first. Don't waste time because of this. If the Liao people really attack aggressively and the master fails to report in time, the military situation will be delayed. But that's it." What a sin!"

Master Lin also agreed: "My lord, just follow what Master Liang Bo said and order people to report to Chang'an immediately. What to do is the business of the superiors and has nothing to do with us."

Li Weishan finally made up his mind to write an urgent letter and asked the county government courier to send it to Chang'an as soon as possible. He also ordered Master Lin: "You personally accompany those people to Laobei Mountain to see what the specific situation is. Since this matter has been reported to the county Yali, we can’t pretend not to know!”

Master Lin's heart tightened, and he actually asked him to go to Laobei Mountain. This was the time when the Liao people were rampant, and he didn't know if he would come back alive.

Liang Zhubo lowered his head and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible. He didn't want to follow him to Lao Beishan. No matter whether the Liao people were there or not, it would be no good to go at this time.

Master Lin went to the yamen gate with worries, while Li Weishan hurried to the back hall: "Madam, pack up quickly and take the children to the Yue's family in Chang'an City!"

Mrs. Li is arranging breakfast: "What are you anxious about? Isn't the second day of the Lunar New Year tomorrow the time to visit relatives and friends? How can anyone visit someone's home on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"

Li Weishan stamped his feet anxiously: "Stop dragging your feet and bring some food to eat on the road. People from Liao are calling, and we don't know when we will arrive in the county seat."

Mrs. Li's face instantly turned pale, and the soup bowl dropped from her hand in shock.

The yamen servant ran in again in a panic: "No, sir, the Liao people have arrived in the county seat!"
