Chapter 118 Rebel with Me
A tall soldier came to Qingyu.
His name is Yan Ping.
Before being captured by the barbarians, he was a captain of a thousand men in the Daxia army and had the highest rank among the more than a thousand men, so Qingyu let him continue to serve as the captain of a thousand men.
After learning that Qingyu was General Si's bodyguard, he also respected Qingyu very much.
"Sir, we have run out of water and food, and our brothers' feet are all worn out. Do we still want to keep going?"
Qingyu looked around and pointed to a low mountain not far away and said, "Let's go over there to rest."
"It doesn't look like there's any water over there either."
Qingyu smiled faintly and said, "No, there is everything there."
Yan Ping felt that Lord Qingyu must have suffered from heatstroke.
When he was a slave among the barbarians, he heard legends about the Gobi Desert and the sandy land. When people were desperate here, they would see beautiful pavilions, clear springs and woods.
But no matter which way you go, that beautiful place can never be reached.
It seems that even if they escape from the barbarians, they will still have no way out.
Leading the demoralized team, Yan Ping followed Qingyu into the mountains.
"Sir, let's find a place to rest first."
"Well, take a rest," Qingyu said, "but you have to bring a few trustworthy people with me."
"where to?"
"Moving things."
Qingyu said this and walked towards the deserted ravine without looking back. Qingyu had no choice but to take a dozen people with him.
When they reached a secluded place, Qingyu contacted Jiang Sining.
"Ma'am, the barbarians have gone back."
Jiang Sining was cooking at home. After receiving the news, she immediately gave the spatula to Aunt Li and returned to her room.
After understanding Qingyu and the others' current situation, Jiang Sining transferred some prepared buns, rice, various stir-fried dishes, and a large amount of clean water from the space to Qingyu's space.
These were prepared by her Aunt Li and others in the past half month, and are guaranteed to feed more than a thousand people for several days.
There was also a large amount of dry firewood, about two thousand pairs of cloth shoes, and medicines for healing.
Of course, there are still many things left. It won’t be too late to give them to them slowly after Qingyu and the others have finished their repairs.
Seeing Qingyu standing there motionless, Yan Ping was already a little anxious.
"My Lord, go back."
Qingyu came back to his senses and said, "Close your eyes."
Yan Ping and others looked at each other, not knowing what he was going to do.
"Trust me once, I won't let you down." Qingyu said.
Yan Ping and others nodded and closed their eyes.
Qingyu took out all the things Jiang Sining had just given him and placed them on the open ground.
Since the dishes are put in after being stir-fried, they immediately give off a rich aroma when they are taken out.
Yan Ping and others thought they were dreaming, but when they opened their eyes, they saw that the ground that had been empty just now had a dancing figure like a small hill.
"Sir, this...where did this come from?"
"This was given by my wife." Qingyu said.
"lady?"
"Yes, Madam Jiang, the wife of General Si's eldest son." Qingyu said, "From now on, she will continue to send us what we need, including food, clean water, clothes, shoes, dry firewood, etc. If necessary, she will also give us armor and weapons. So, everyone will belong to the madam from now on."
Yan Ping's eyes widened into lumps.
He had never heard of such a powerful lady in the world!
Even more powerful than the fairies in the storybooks!
If they could follow such a lady, maybe they could survive, reach the legendary place full of gold and clear springs, and even return home!
Yan Ping immediately said: "We swear to be loyal to you, Madam, and we will never change our minds as long as we live!"
Along the way, Qingyu was observing Yan Ping.
From his perspective, he should be a trustworthy and reliable person.
That's why he revealed some of the lady's information to him to strengthen his resolve, so that they could reach where the lady wanted them to go as quickly as possible.
It seems to be working well now.
"Move the things back, light a bonfire, and let everyone have a good meal."
"Yes!"
Soon, a team of more than a thousand people lit more than a dozen bonfires and enjoyed the long-lost delicacy.
The injured also received careful treatment.
In the end, many people gathered around the fire and started crying, because they knew that they could really survive and live well.
In less than two years, everyone will be able to return home in glory.
And all of these were given to them by Mrs. Jiang, so everyone should do their best to do the best for Mrs. Jiang.
Jiang Sining didn't know that she had won the hearts of more than a thousand soldiers with just one meal. She is still a little worried now.
More than a thousand people need more than a thousand kilograms of food every day. Although there is a lot of stock in the space, it will eventually be depleted.
I hope Xia Shan can be more capable, arrive at the destination earlier, and get a lot of food.
"Madam, I'm going back to look after the cows."
After dinner, Dong Ling got up and said goodbye.
He still lives in the mountains, looking after the ten calves raised by Jiang Sining.
It didn't seem to be an important matter, but he firmly believed that the lady must have her reasons for making such arrangements, and today his guess was finally confirmed.
Before he reached the cave in Guitou Mountain, he heard voices coming from inside. He sneaked over to take a look and found that it was more than 20 young and strong villagers who were gathering together to discuss how to rob food from the rich families in the town.
Except for Liuyun Village in Gaochuan County, other villages received almost no grain this season, and the only grain reserves in the homes were snatched away by people sent by the county magistrate.
Now everyone is almost forced into a corner and can only go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to eat.
We still have wild vegetables and can hunt now, but what about winter?
So some villagers who could not make ends meet quietly came to Guitou Mountain and formed a temporary bandit group.
But villagers are villagers, they have courage but no vision. The plan they discussed made Dong Ling shake his head.
Finally, Dong Ling couldn't bear to listen any more, so he showed up.
"who are you?"
The villagers were startled and picked up their hoes and axes, staring at Dong Ling.
"Don't panic, I'm here to help you." Dong Ling said.
"You help us?"
"Yes." Dong Ling said, "What you just discussed is simply not feasible. If you dare to go like this tonight, I can guarantee that none of you will be able to escape."
Everyone looked at each other. They knew that this was very risky, but what else could they do?
"Why are you helping us?"
"Because," Dong Ling drew out his sword and said coldly, "I want you to join me in rebellion."
What?
The villagers were stunned.
They just wanted to grab some food, why did they suddenly rebel?
"No, no, no, we are not rebelling..."
"That's not up to you," Dong Ling said, "Think about it carefully. If you go to steal food and get caught, you'll be beheaded. If you follow me in rebellion and get caught, you'll also be beheaded. Since you're all going to get beheaded anyway, why not take a bigger chance?"
"But there are only a dozen of us. How can we rebel?"
"I'm not talking about now," Dong Ling said, "Follow me, I will train you to be powerful soldiers. I will also give you food to ensure that your family will not starve or freeze. In the future, I will gather a large number of people to form a huge army, and you will be the generals. When the time is right, we will lead the army to kill all the dog officials in the world, kill our way to the capital, and overthrow the rule of the dog emperor! I just want to ask you, do you dare or not?"
This is definitely the longest sentence Dong Ling has ever said in one breath in his life.
But what he said came from the bottom of his heart. He sincerely hoped that these desperate people would not die in vain, but wait for the opportunity with him.
