There is a constant flow of people coming and going on the official road. However, those heading towards Damingfu are either troops or teams transporting various supplies. The common people walking on the official road are forced to give way to the wastelands on both sides from time to time.

Under the slopes and in the ditches, make way for these teams.

Those who leave Daming Mansion are basically those who are fleeing or fleeing famine.

There were both a poor man with nothing and no money, and a rich man in gorgeous clothes and riding a gorgeous carriage.

Zhou He, wearing a scholar's green shirt and riding a small donkey, mingled among these people.

Not far from him, Qin Min was wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a burden.

Among this bustling crowd, there were dozens of people with Qin Min.

And this is just the first batch.

For more than ten days, Qin Min and others connected with each other and connected the remaining manpower of the four armies including Xin'an, Guangxin, Ansu, and Baoding.

They are going to Beijing.

They want justice.

And their goal is very clear, they want to find King Zhao Zhe of Jing.

Now, whether it is Zhang Chao of Daming Mansion or Xia Jie, the pacifier, in their eyes, even though they are not the same as Cui Ang, they cannot escape being protected by each other.

Only King Zhao Zhe of Jing can shine a bright light for them, clear away the haze in the sky, and restore peace to the world.

Road guides are a big problem. Without them, it would be impossible for them to go to Bianliang. Zhou He tried his best, but now he can only get dozens of road guides.

The remaining people will have to find another way.

Daming Mansion is difficult to deal with, but you can go to other places to get it. Now the whole of Hebei is in chaos. The management of other places is quite different from Daming Mansion. Only money can make it enough. Getting road guides is not a problem.

.

All it takes is time.

The weather in June is already quite hot.

After walking for half a day, their clothes were soaked with sweat. Finally, they found a shade of a tree and everyone sat on the ground.

Compared with the war and chaos north of Damingfu, it is peaceful here. In the endless fields, the seedlings are growing very well. If nothing unexpected happens, this year will definitely be a bumper harvest.

In the ravines on the roadside, clear streams flowed. From time to time, people would squat down to drink water with their hands, and some would dip the water utensils such as gourds they carried with them into the water and fill them up.

Qin Min used a leather bag.

When he filled the skin bag with water and just stood up, he heard the sound of shouting and the sound of carriages and horses coming from the road.

Turning his head, he took just one glance, then lowered his head immediately and pulled down the bamboo hat.

Coming from behind was a group of officers and soldiers escorting the prisoners. A dozen carts were slowly moving forward, escorted by more than a hundred soldiers. Each cart contained one or two prisoners.

Most of these people are scarred.

Qin Min lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes became red.

He recognized the criminal in the first carriage.

He was a veteran of the Xin'an Army, and he was always called uncle.

Around Qin Min, several men stood up. They came from Guangxin Army, Ansu Army and Baoding Army.

Among those prisoners, there were also their friends, superiors, and brothers.

They watched the convoy go away and slowly disappeared from their sight. Zhou He could even hear their teeth chattering.

Since they were fleeing, there was naturally no inn to stay in. When it got dark, everyone camped on the spot. Fortunately, there were many people and everyone gathered together, so they were not afraid of any wild beasts at night. The weather also became warmer.

, get a blanket and lie down on the ground, and you can spend the night there.

As long as it's not so unlucky and it rains, it'll be fine.

Piles of bonfires were lit, one here and one there. They were all traveling together, and although they didn’t know the details, they seemed familiar to each other.

However, no one dared to squeeze through Qin Kuan's group.

Because there was no old man, child or woman in their group here, they were just a bunch of strong men, and the others looked a little intimidated.

"Brother Qin, with their marching speed, they should be about ten miles away from us now." A man with a scar on his face sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "I am familiar with the surrounding situation. There are no inns or official posts.

So they can only sleep in the wild. This is an opportunity for dozens of us brothers to kill them with just one raid."

Gao He shook his head.

"no!"

"Why? Is it possible that we just watch them suffer such humiliation?" the scarred man said angrily.

"Brother Dong, we went to Beijing to complain. What did you just say we were going to do? Are we going to rebel? As soon as we take action, we will really become criminals." Gao He said in a deep voice. "Then Cui Ang is nothing but

It was a false accusation against the rulers. They disobeyed military orders and acted without authorization, which led to the defeat of the battle and the loss of troops and territory on the front line. In this matter, the public is justified, and the mother-in-law is justified, right? Let's go to Beijing and tell the real situation

Once you tell King Jing, won't everything be solved?"

"That's right!" The man with the scar nodded, "It's just that seeing them locked up inside and being looked at like monkeys along the way makes me feel really uncomfortable."

"As long as we are still alive, we still have a chance!" Gao He comforted everyone. "We can't cause trouble now and go to the capital to find King Jing honestly."

These veterans estimated the speed of the team escorting the prisoners extremely accurately, and they set up camp in a wilderness ten miles away from them.

The carriages were gathered together, and the soldiers set up tents on the outside, surrounding the carriages in the middle.

Cui Jin stood in front of one of the carriages and looked at the two prisoners in the car. The two prisoners were eating steamed buns. When they saw Cui Jin coming over, they couldn't help but have a look of disgust in their eyes.

"Everyone's injuries seem to have improved a lot!" Cui Jin said with a smile: "If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, please let me know in time so that we can have someone diagnose and treat you. Everyone, you have to arrive in Bianliang alive and well.

"

A soldier in the carriage sneered: "Cui Jin, now you are no longer a comfort messenger. I'm afraid I can't decide on some things. I'm not afraid of what you do!"

"It seems that everyone is ready to retract their confessions!" Cui Jin's smile remained unchanged: "You are right, my father is indeed no longer a pacifier, but he is still the governor of the Privy Council, and he is still a member of Jixianden University

Sir, I dare not say anything else. There is no difference between killing a few people and squeezing a few ants to death. Let alone the families of some prisoners. Daming Mansion is in chaos now. Hundreds of thousands of troops have gathered around it, and countless young and strong people have gathered around it.

People are coming and going, and if some people are missing, who will notice?"

"How dare you?" The soldier's eyes suddenly turned red, he dropped the steamed bun in his hand, and grabbed Cui Jin from behind through the fence.

Cui Jin chuckled and took a step back. The soldier was blocked by the fence. He grabbed the railing with one hand and stretched out the other hand. He bent his fingers and watched Cui Jin shouting.

Cui Jin bent down, picked up the steamed bun from the ground, gently picked off the grass on it, walked slowly to the front of the carriage, and said: "Believe it or not, I will send someone back now to slap your wife and doll on it."

Pause, then take a token from them and come back to show it to you?"

The military man stared at Cui Jin for a long time, then finally lowered his head and dropped his hands feebly.

Cui Jin smiled and stuffed the steamed bun into the soldier's hand, "Eat it. Only when you are full can you have the strength. Only when you are full can you have the strength to go to Bianliang and tell those things to the people above!"

The military man held the steamed buns and suddenly started to cry.

Amidst the soldiers' cries, Cui Jin burst out laughing.

Gao He didn't know that the charges for these former comrades-in-arms being taken to Beijing were not related to the defeat on the front line. Even Qin Kuan and Zheng Yu were killed, so what did these people mean?

They were taken to Beijing just because these people were easier to threaten and easier to control.

For Cui Ang, such a thing as framing King Jing was an adventure where everything was on the line.

Although Gao He also knew how to read and write, at his level, he could never think of going to such a high level. Cui Ang seemed to say nothing in the note to the emperor, but in fact, every sentence pointed directly at

King Jing plotted rebellion.

The letters sent previously between King Jing and the border generals.

Then there are these grassroots soldiers.

If Gao He truly understood these things, I'm afraid he wouldn't have stopped Scar Man's suggestion and launched an attack to rescue these people.

However, just because Gao He prevented Qin Kuan and others from attacking Cui Jin and others, it does not mean that no one else was ready to do this. At the third watch, in the woods away from Cui Jin's camp, Xu Kai

, rows of men in black appeared quietly.

The leader, a gloomy-looking man, twirled the black hair on a large black mole on his face, and then pulled up a piece of black cloth around his neck to cover his face.

"Act!" He waved his hand downwards, and dozens of men in black moved towards the small camp silently.

No one thought that the convoy of prisoners escorted by the army would be attacked, so the soldiers escorting them were sleeping soundly at the moment. The soldiers on duty who were supposed to guard these prisoners were leaning on the carriages and sleeping like dead pigs.

.

After all, it’s been a day’s journey.

The prisoners were riding in the car, but they were relying on two legs!

When the men in black got closer, the first people to notice them were not the escorting soldiers, but the prisoners in the carriage.

Although they were imprisoned in a carriage like dogs, and although they were tortured both physically and mentally after being caught, their vigilance and instinct for danger as qualified soldiers still allowed them to quickly move on from

Woke up from deep sleep.

However, they made a huge mistake.

They thought these people were coming to save them.
