Chapter 1044 Zhen Xiaoren's Lamentations
Upon seeing this, Shi Yingguang quickly stepped forward and stopped the person.
"We can't kill him!"
Zhen Wu still has five hundred men under his command. If he dies, those five hundred men will be free to do whatever they want!
Don't forget, there are many other people living on this mountain besides us.
Upon hearing this, Wu Tongzhi's eldest son burst into tears.
"My father almost lost his life because of him."
Their fate is still unknown, yet I cannot kill my enemy; I have failed as a son!
Shi Yingguang stepped forward, pulled him into his arms, and whispered:
Don't be sad, there will be other opportunities!
Upon hearing this murmur, Wu Tongzhi's eldest son paused in his sobbing.
He seemed to understand, and his crying gradually subsided.
Behind them, the soldiers were about to tie Zhen Xiaoren up with rope.
Lu Qingqing was worried that they wouldn't know how to tie it, so she stepped forward and did it herself.
When Zhen Xiaoren learned that she had to tie the rope herself, he secretly groaned.
The knot of this evil spirit's rope tightened the more it was moved.
Oh no, I'm going to suffer again!
When the soldiers were about to tie the rope, Zhen Xiaoren made various demands.
When it was Lu Qingqing's turn to make a move, he waited obediently without daring to move.
I was afraid that I might say something wrong and offend this little devil again.
Lu Qingqing moved swiftly, and soon a familiar knot appeared again.
Since the knot was tied, Zhen Xiaoren didn't dare to exert any force.
I was afraid that if I moved, the knot would tighten again.
In the end, he will be the one who suffers.
He obediently followed Lu Qingqing's instructions and was led to the middle of the camp.
To keep an eye on him, Bai Song sent two soldiers over alone.
Just as they had settled in, Zhen Wu and the others arrived with the dismantled tents.
Immediately, the entire camp was brightly lit.
After the camp was re-set up, Bai Song came over and took a look, becoming more and more satisfied with what he saw.
"This place is nice, it suits me perfectly."
"Hey you, I'll reluctantly stay here with you!"
Zhen Xiaoren hadn't dared to object when he saw Bai Song and Lu Qingqing's close relationship.
That night, Bai Song led Yan Xu and two other brothers to stay in Zhen Xiaoren's luxurious tent.
Led by Lu Qingqing, Shi Yingguang and the others went to Zhen Wu's place and brought back all the things they had left behind when they fled in panic.
Their group suffered more than thirty casualties in tonight's battle.
Today, the entire team, including men, women, young and old, numbers no more than sixty people.
For safety reasons, Shi Yingguang and Lu Qingqing decided to stay near their camp after discussing it.
By the time everyone was settled and the camp was completely quiet, it was already the hour of Yin (3-5 AM).
In a little over an hour, it will be dawn.
Without further ado, everyone quickly washed up and went back to their tents to sleep.
At this moment, the people around the camp were relieved to see that things had finally quieted down.
There was nothing they could do; just two days ago, when they first went up the mountain, someone had their eyes on the wagons and grain in the convoy.
During this period, there were no fewer than four or five attempts, both large and small.
But every time they tried to test them, those people returned badly injured.
The last group to test the waters was a group of over forty men.
These men were thugs in a gang of thugs, and they were known for their bravery and ruthlessness.
They thought their nighttime raid was a sure thing, but who knew they'd all be wiped out inside.
When dawn broke the next day, they discovered the corpses piled up around the camp.
The body was left there for a full day, until the rain washed away all the blood, before those people buried it on the back mountain.
This battle truly made him famous.
Everyone on the mountain was afraid of this group of people, but fortunately, they did not attack anyone.
The sudden sounds of fighting that night startled everyone who was staying nearby.
Everyone was worried that the war would spread to them and was ready to flee at any time.
Only when things finally quieted down did I dare to lie down and rest.
The next day, when everyone woke up, the rain was still drizzling.
Someone checked the oil lamp's consumption and guessed that it was almost Chenshi (7-9 AM).
There was a fight last night, and with all that commotion in between, everyone overslept.
When Bai Song woke up in bed, he felt quite refreshed.
I haven't slept in a bed for a long time, and this sleep was so good!
He got up and stretched, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhen Xiaoren sitting listlessly on the bed next to him.
You woke up so early!
By the way, did your subordinates bring you breakfast yet?
Remember to have him send over more food. There are so many people in this house; you probably wouldn't want to eat alone!
Zhen Xiaoren had dark circles under his eyes and a mournful expression on his face.
This person snored all night long, the snoring was deafening, and he couldn't sleep at all next to him!
I just stayed up all night like that!
What sins did he commit to deserve such torment from this kind of person?
Just then, Bai Song's voice, tinged with a threat, rang out.
"What, you're still not willing to bring us some dry rations?"
When Zhen Xiaoren saw his expression, he was startled.
"No way, I'll tell Zhen Wu later."
"From now on, send over more at every meal, I guarantee you'll have plenty to eat!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Song stopped paying attention to him.
"You two keep a close eye on him. With him around, we'll have an endless supply of food, you know that?"
"Got it, boss!"
The two agreed in unison, then turned and stared at Zhen Xiaoren without blinking.
Seeing this, Zhen Xiaoren secretly groaned in despair.
He had originally planned to try bribing the two guards with money.
But now, he actually sensed a sense of familiarity in the two of them.
When I saw the style of the large swords they were wearing at their waists, I recognized them.
So these people are soldiers too!
He immediately perked up and started talking to the two soldiers.
No matter what he said, the two soldiers pretended not to hear him.
Upon seeing this, Zhen Xiaoren was so angry that he was enraged.
After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh and lay back down on the bed.
Sigh, why did he have to plan that 'prison break' all along?
That's good; he just escaped from one prison, only to end up in an even worse one.
No, when Zhen Wu comes to deliver the food later, he has to talk to him and ask him to send over a smaller tent as well.
If we stay with that King Huru any longer, he might not live to see the flood recede!
