Chapter 269

After meeting Yingge with the reason of inspecting the elegant room as before, the two had a heated discussion on how to sneak into the manor without anyone noticing.

The conclusion reached was that according to Xiao Yunming's airtight arrangement, unless he went to heaven and earth, it would be impossible to avoid all the guards, or prevent them from reporting the news after being discovered.

Jinxiu said casually, "So it's fine if they don't know how to react?"

Judging by the heavily guarded posture, things must have stayed in the manor, and it's time to show their real skills.

Jinxiu took out a charcoal pencil and began to make a list: "Help me prepare these..."

After the chat, when Jinxiu left, she took a special look at the newly recruited nursing homes, that is, the soldiers left behind by Huo Jinhe, and found that they couldn't help looking north worriedly when they were performing their duties.

Northern Xinjiang, the direction of the barbarians.

Although I don't know how much food and grass has been lost, General Huo and the others must have had a hard time along the way.

Who doesn't want to be safe and sound at home, mother loving son filial piety warm kang, people can live and work in peace and contentment, it all depends on someone carrying the burden for them to move forward.

Hope all the heroes come back safely.

At this time, Huo Jin and his party were about to arrive at the border.

Not long ago, they encountered barbarians on the way. All parties in the capital only knew that after that time, the food, grass and military supplies they escorted lost a lot, but they didn't know the details.

At that time, there was a huge disparity in the number of people on both sides, one side was carrying sufficient weapons, but the other side only held blunted broadswords, one side was wearing armor, but the other side was only wrapped in dirty fur.

On the surface, the ambushers of the barbarians are only here to die.

But they took hostages.

The visitor said concisely: "Give us food, people will give you, if you don't give food, people will kill you!"

And after a lot of talking, they took away several lives with knives in their hands, indicating that they were not just talking.

Huo Jin and his fellow soldiers gritted their teeth and clenched their weapons, trying to stay sane.

Xiao Yunchen who saw this kind of scene for the first time was shocked.

Although he is a martial idiot, the bloodiest scene he has seen is nothing but the severed head of a sinner on the execution ground.

It was the first time he had come into contact with the blood of so many innocent people and soldiers.

The pungent smell and the tragic scene caused Xiao Yunchen's brain to temporarily lose the ability to think.

Huo Jinhe didn't speak, and the captured soldiers gritted their teeth and shouted: "The general doesn't care about us! We can't give us food and grass!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was chopped down by the knife, but there was still a second person who continued to shout loudly: "That's right! Food and grass are related to more lives! It is related to the dignity of my Great Xia! Can't give it!"

There was a flash of blood, and No.3 Iron Man still insisted on speaking out the aspirations of the soldiers: "Die to protect the Great Xia, and the end will be worthy of death!"

All the captured soldiers shouted together: "Death deserves it!"

The barbarians really showed no mercy, Xiao Yunchen just watched the shouting soldiers fall down one by one, he asked Huo Jinhe puzzledly: "Why didn't you save them?"

Huo Jinhe didn't have time to stop, his words had already stimulated the rest of the people: "Save us! Save us! You are the soldiers of Daxia, how can you not save the people of Daxia!"

The barbarian's knife was dripping blood in front of their eyes, and the people were already frightened, but now they cried and shouted again and again.

This is exactly the effect the barbarians want.

"People, or food?"

The cries of the people have gradually changed.

"Aren't you a general? Didn't you say you want to guard the territory and the people of Daxia? Then why don't you guard us now?"

"Is our life not as good as a cart of grain?"

"Food and grass can be replanted, but what if our lives are lost?"

"If you don't save us, you will be in vain!"

"What a waste!"
