Chapter 108 - Attacked and Killed

Chapter 108 Attacked and Killed

After the two of them leaned against a tree, Su Yue took out the water bag from the space. After the two of them quenched their thirst, she took out the barbecue for the two of them to eat.

"Can Yue'er see the top of the mountain?"

"Okay, there are a lot of supplies on the top of the mountain. If the villagers can go up, many problems can be solved. However, the mountain is so difficult to climb. People without two brushes really can't get up. No wonder no one comes up."

Su Yue was still a little glad that they came to Yunwu Village and Yunwu Mountain.

She didn’t know what the reason was for Yunwu Mountain, or how it could have such a landform. She had seen some snow-capped tops and green trees at the bottom. One mountain had two seasons, but this Yunwu Mountain was the other way around.

Murong Li looked down the mountain: "Leader Qin and the others should be able to come up. Let's go up today and take a look. If the supplies are more than we imagined, let them all go up."

They only had some rice to survive, no meat or vegetables. In the winter, the temperature here was extremely low, and there was not enough food for the people to eat. It is estimated that not many people could survive this winter.

Thinking that so many refugees were still homeless, Murong Li felt helpless in his heart. He wondered if Murong Yi's visit could have any effect.

Although that man is as cunning as a fox, his heart is not rotten to the core. I hope he has some sense of conscience.

What the two of them didn't know was that Murong Yi and his party had just arrived in Jiaoshan Canyon at this time and were preparing to rest here.

I saw a lot of refugees along the way. Murong Yi, who came here from modern times, had never seen a time of famine. Seeing such a scene, he was shocked.

Murong Yi was in a very heavy mood. He could be scheming and ruthless in the capital, but he would not do anything to ordinary people.

The drought in Northwest City is like this. The people are displaced and hungry. This is obviously the result of the indifference of the people in power here.

A drought of this severity should have been reported to the court long ago. No matter what his advantageous father was doing, he would definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. He would at least let the governor of the northwest county find a way to resettle the people.

Therefore, the loss of disaster relief food and disaster relief money was not accidental, but premeditated.

Murong Yi immediately asked someone to invite General Tian. This was not an option. By the time they found out the whereabouts of the food, many people had already starved to death.

And even if the whereabouts of the food were found, there would probably be nothing left by then.

General Tian came over quickly. He raised his hands and saluted: "Prince Yi, please call me to tell me what you want me to do."

"Sit down."

Murong Yi pointed to the place beside him.

General Tian nodded and sat down.

Murong Yi said: "General Tian, ​​you see that there are homeless people on this road who are about to starve to death. If we search for food according to the original plan, find it and distribute it to them, we are afraid that everyone will starve to death. What I mean is

So, what do you think about writing a letter and sending someone back to the capital immediately so that the emperor can send another batch of grain?"

General Tian won the emperor's heart, and his words carried more weight than his words. If he had spoken truthfully, the emperor might have thought that he was exaggerating, making the drought so serious, and that he had some ulterior motive.

.

If General Tian came to write the express report, the result would be different.

General Tian nodded, he also had this intention. What he saw and did along the way completely overturned his three views. He thought that there was a drought in the northwest county, so the county governor should also take care of these refugees. Unexpectedly, it was contrary to what he thought. No one

Regardless of the refugees, except for Xichuan County, the other counties they passed through did not allow the refugees to enter at all, leaving them to wander outside and fend for themselves.

Such an approach simply made people angry, but he was just a general who was ordered to protect Prince Yi's safety and to check the whereabouts of the disaster relief food. He had no right to interfere in this matter.

Along the way, I heard someone saying that some kind people gave the refugees some food, but that food was just a drop in the bucket for the many refugees.

It cannot solve the fundamental problem.

He had wanted to tell Murong Yi about this matter before, but the two of them had different ideas and kept silent. Unexpectedly, Murong Yi would talk to him about this matter first.

He said: "Then your official will write an express report immediately and have someone send it back to the capital."

Murong Yi cupped his hands towards General Tian and said, "Then I'll trouble General Tian."

General Tian returned the greeting: "Prince Yi has a kind heart, so there is no need to be polite to your subordinates. This is what your subordinates should do."

General Tian immediately asked someone to take out a pen and paper from the carriage, write an express report, and immediately gave it to his men to rush back to the capital.

After receiving the dispatch, the soldier took out a horse, jumped up, and galloped away.

"call out!"

Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot at the soldier who was flying away from nowhere. General Tian had quick eyes and quick hands. In the blink of an eye, he pulled out his long sword, jumped towards the arrow and knocked it away.

Then with a wave of his hand, all the elite soldiers immediately stood ready.

When Murong Yi saw another assassin coming, he ducked under the carriage very experiencedly and waited for the robbery to be over.

In the blink of an eye, a man wearing a black mask held a bow and led twenty people wrapped in black clothes, and quickly confronted General Tian and his party.

General Tian looked at this strange group of people and wondered whose people were here to kill them.

During the various robberies and killings they encountered along the way, this was the first time they saw him wrapped in black clothes, with only his two eyes visible and his nose and mouth not exposed.

Very strange.

"Who are you, your Excellency, and why did you intercept the court officials?"

The man holding the bow said gloomily: "Kill those who kill you!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately gave the order.

The two men in black behind them rushed towards them with weapons raised.

General Tian was considered a veteran of the battlefield, and he always felt that these people were not simple, so he faced the men in black first.

"Dangdangdang..."

After a few rounds, the sword struck the man in black as if it were an iron plate, without hurting him at all.

It was such a weird scene. General Tian had never seen anything like this before. He felt nervous and at the same time thought of countermeasures.

Suddenly, his sword moves changed, from slashing to stabbing, and the sword fiercely pierced the heart of the man in black.

"when!"

Another sound like hitting an iron plate still failed to hurt the black man's heart. It also numbed General Tian's jaw, and he almost lost his sword.

At this moment, the man in black struck with a sword, and General Tian received a solid blow to his chest. The wound was deep enough to the bone, and blood gushed out instantly.

General Tian grinned in pain, covered his chest and swung his sword. Several people immediately came to help him.

"General, leave this to us, go and bandage the wound." A soldier shouted.

General Tian quickly stepped back and pulled a corner of his robe to cover the wound on his chest, staring intently at the faceless man in black.
