When everyone heard the footsteps, they all looked at Yang Wanli subconsciously.

Yang Wanli quickly came to Wu Liang, and then lowered his voice and said: "Sir, something is not right here. My soldiers and I went in disguise to find out the news, but we found that there were people following us wherever we went, and here

The villagers looked at us with a bit of hostility, and they were always trying to find out about us intentionally or unintentionally... I have been to many places, but this is the first time I have encountered this situation."

"Then according to your opinion, what should we do now?"

Wu Liang asked.

"In order to prevent any unexpected situation from happening, I think we should leave Qu County as soon as possible. It is best not to stay here overnight."

Yang Wanli said sternly, "Even if we still have to investigate here in the future, the young master should disguise himself and act secretly. Always be on guard against the villagers here and not get too close to them."

"Um."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, "Your idea coincides with mine. I have just ordered Dianwei to make arrangements. We will leave Qu County immediately and go to Houqiu to the west to station. From now on, if we want to find out the news, we will go back and forth to Houqiu.

Although it may take a little time and effort with Qu County, it can ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Yang Wanli's judgment undoubtedly confirmed Wu Liang's previous guess.

Eighty percent of the villagers who are still here should be related to the Yellow Turban Bandits in Yuzhou Mountain, otherwise it would be impossible to continue to live a stable life here. They are the scouts and informants of the Yellow Turban Bandits.

As long as someone enters Qu County, relevant news may soon reach Yuzhou Mountain.

This routine is very similar to Liangshan in "Water Margin". Outside the water in Liangshan, there is a restaurant run by Zhu Gui, the "Dry Land Hulu", and Duxing, the "Ghostface", who specialize in snooping for information about the merchants coming and going.

Song Jiang and others on Liangshan Mountain provided intelligence, which enabled the imperial court to launch several encirclement and suppression campaigns without success.

This is probably because Wu Liang and others are still in large numbers and are nominally officers and soldiers here on official business. If some scattered people come here instead, the villagers might just take them by themselves.

, just a few passers-by, and the world is in such chaos now, it is completely normal for a few people to go missing. No one will trace them at all, and basically no trace can be found.

"What the young master said is absolutely true."

Yang Wanli cupped his hands and said.

At this point, naturally no one asked about the reason, and they all started to take action.

After such a cup of tea, the Hu troops were ready, counted their number, and headed out of the city.

During this period, Wu Liang specially came to the witch Hu and asked her: "Miss Hu, after entering the curve, has your magatama changed in any way?"

"Nothing has changed."

Miko Hu shook her head slightly.

"Um."

Wu Liang nodded and said nothing more.

However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.

In the end, the Hu army failed to leave Qu County smoothly.

When they left the government office, some villagers who had been standing near the government office to watch them followed them quietly.

And when they had not reached the city gate.

There was already a "tail" of thirty or forty people behind, and people were still joining this tail.

Wu Liang had observed these villagers. They were all old, young, women and children with almost no fighting ability. It was basically impossible to pose a direct threat to the Hu army, but they made them very uncomfortable.

And when they finally came to the city gate, they thought everything would be fine once they left the city.

A group of people had gathered at the gate of the city. It was as if they were receiving a message and were waiting here to wait for the Hu army. There were more than three hundred people in number.

However, they are also old, young, women and children who are difficult to form a fighting force.

If placed in future generations, this would definitely be the most untouchable group.

The elderly must not be touched. If they are touched and they lie down on the ground, they will immediately have multiple fathers and mothers;

Children cannot be touched. Even with a slight push, they can lie down on the ground. He is still a child. How can you be like a child?

Women should not be touched even more. As soon as the "angry" came out, if they were accused of indecent assault, and if some groups supported and hyped them up, mud would fall out of their crotches immediately - it would be shit if it wasn't shit.

"Master..."

Seeing this situation, Dian Wei also frowned slightly, and Yang Wanli also came over to ask Wu Liang's opinion.

Because these people have blocked the city gate, if they don't get out of the way, the Hu army will have to make a choice in order to leave smoothly.

"Tell the brothers to clean up their affairs, but don't worry, let's see what they want to do before making a decision."

Wu Liang's eyes were cold and he said expressionlessly.

"promise."

Dian Wei and Yang Wanli immediately ran to make arrangements.

So the Hu army continued to approach the city gate.

Although these old, young, women and children blocked the city gate, this small city had no defenders at all, not even a city gate. There was only a doorway for two horses to walk side by side, so it was impossible to close the city gate.

Leave the Hu army behind.

Just when the Hu army was only about ten feet away from these old, young, women and children.

"Master Jun, give us some food to eat!"

A woman's shout came first from the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, these old, young, women and children seemed to have turned on a switch, and they began to cry out one by one, and begged Wu Liang loudly:

"Master Jun, please save my little grandson, he hasn't eaten a grain of rice for several days!"

"Master Jun, give me something to stutter!"

"Come on, Master Jun, the only one left dead in my family is my little old man..."

"My life is so miserable..."

"..."

However, they did not kneel to the ground like the refugees Wu Liang had seen before. They did not even show any courtesy. They just howled loudly one by one, but some of them wiped away tears.

"this……"

Everyone in the Hu army stopped.

The wailing sound was very noisy and made people upset. However, in the face of such a group of old, young, women and children begging for help, the people of the Hu army, under the leadership of Wu Liang, had no worries about food and clothing, so they were relatively kind-hearted. Many of them

There is a bit of intolerance in people's hearts... They are all pitiful people.

"Son."

The backbone of the Hu army looked at Wu Liang subconsciously. Wu Liang still had to make the decision on this matter.

But now there are not many choices before Wu Liang:

Or order people to disperse them by force, so that you can leave the city smoothly;

Or take out some food and salary and distribute it to them. These people should leave on their own after receiving the food and salary.

So, what choice will Wu Liang make?

Wu Liang knew that he was being kidnapped and threatened. On one side was the moral kidnapping from a group of old, young, women and children, and on the other side was the threat that he would not be able to leave the city without food.

Although Wu Liangzhong was dissatisfied, he still decided to be polite before fighting.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

In front of everyone, Wu Liang cleared his throat and walked to the front of the formation and shouted loudly to the old, young, women and children in front of him. After these people's voices became slightly lower, he finally said, "Fathers and fellow villagers, I see you are suffering like this.

, if I don’t

It is hard for my conscience to lend a helping hand, so I decided to give half of the food and salary to you. In order to be fair and just, I will order two carts of food and salary to be transported to the government office, and the magistrate of Bing County will distribute the food to you one by one. Everyone

Please move to the government office."

As he spoke, Wu Liang turned around and gestured to Yang Wanli.

Yang Wanli understood, and sure enough he ordered the two carriages transporting grain to turn around and head towards the government office.

This truck contains thousands of kilograms of food. Although it won't be of much use to hundreds of people, it can still give them two full meals.

For Wu Liang, this is a completely bearable loss.

Anyway, in addition to food, he also carried some hard-earned gold. He would just go back to Houqiu and find a way to buy some food, so that it would not affect their itinerary.

"..."

After the words fell, the scene finally became completely quiet.

Although some people in the Hu army were unhappy and felt a little depressed about having to take away two carts of food, this should already be the most appropriate solution. After all, Wu Liang's decision could also lead these people to the government office, so naturally it could be done.

Get rid of these people so they have nothing to say.

"..."

But this group of old, young, women and children were communicating in this way, but no one took a step out of the city gate for a long time.

Maybe they couldn't believe that Wu Liang chose to help them so happily?
