Chapter 122

The new city they entered was named Lekang. As the name suggests, this name is to hope that the people in the city will be healthy and worry-free, but the scene in the city is obviously the opposite of this name.

After Yingying and the others entered the city, their sights were full of refugees and beggars.

On the corner of the street where no one noticed, several people gathered together and beat the person holding the bag. Yingying couldn't bear to look at it anymore. As a result, she happened to see a man vomiting blood and falling to the ground. His body was covered with dirty and unhealed scars. As he fell to the ground, a group of beggars swarmed over and searched for something from him.

After living for the first time in two lives, Yingying was frightened, her little face suddenly lost its blood. She hurriedly leaned towards him with Qin Rong's arm.

"Scared?" Qin Rong looked at her gaze.

Feeling the trembling of the person beside him, he stopped and carried the person into his arms, gently stroked her back and said, "This city was greatly affected by the war. I'm afraid that there will be more scenes in the city. If Yingying is afraid, the third brother will send someone to send you back."

They have just entered the city now, and Yingying regrets it now.

Yingying also wanted to leave, but the system had not collected data in the city yet, and now she would only fail to leave. Shaking her head, she forced herself to ignore the surrounding scenes and said, "I'm fine, third brother, let's go quickly."

Qin Rong knew her stubbornness and could only help her cover her hood and protect her from her arms and walk forward.

Because she had long expected the scene in Ankang City, Qin Rong brought more people this time than before. Xiaodai also had a black cloak covered with her body. Even though she was very skilled in martial arts, she was frightened when she saw this scene and walked closely with Yingying along the way.

Soon, Yingying knew why Qin Rong wanted to wrap her in a cloak.

After entering the city, the street was filled with refugees. In the dusty dirt, there was no one in a well-dressed person. Occasionally, a carriage from a wealthy family passed by, and a group of refugees surrounded him and blocked the road. They had to get rewards or food before leaving.

In this case, if a person dressed in luxurious hands and had no power to tie a chicken, both men and women would probably be swallowed up by these refugees.

Yingying's face turned paler when she saw this, and she whispered: "This is not a refugee, it's simply a bandit."

"Don't the officials in this city care?"

Qin Rong explained: "The law does not punish the masses. If one person commits a crime, the government can manage it. If a group of people commits a crime, the government will not know how to manage it."

What's more, these people who committed the crime were refugees who fled from war zones. Once their lives endangered, even the kindest people on weekdays could become human-eating demons.

Yingying looked at a bunch of refugees snatching up the stalls selling buns, and frowned and said, "Is it possible because there are many people who make mistakes. The government can sit still and watch the people in the city be bullied?"

Although she sympathizes with refugees, she can't stand the refugees so arrogant.

Qin Rong comforted her and patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the third brother came here to deal with this matter."

When he came to the northwest in his previous life, Lekang City was in this state. To put it bluntly, the officials in the city were cowardly, timid and afraid to act. This matter was actually very easy to solve.

Without hiding his identity, Qin Rong took Yingying directly to the prefecture's prefecture. His trip scared the local officials. In just half an hour, he gathered in the prefecture's prefecture and knelt in front of Qin Rong and shivered.

Yingying looked at the prefecture on the side. Compared with the dilapidated streets, the prefecture was like a small imperial palace, with antique vases and gold-inlaid utensils, which shows that the officials in this place are greedy for a lot on weekdays.

[Host, the data collected in Lekang City has been completed, and it is shown that Gu Lingxiao has lived here!]

Yingying was playing with a jasper wine cup. At first she heard the system say this, but she didn't react. When she waited for the meaning of the digestive system words, she found a quiet place and asked, "What did you say just now?"

"My brother has lived here?!"

System reply: [Yes, although it is not guaranteed that your brother is still in this city, it is certain that he has been here.]

"Then I'll take people out to find them now." After receiving such news, Yingying naturally couldn't wait for a moment.

Qin Rong was discussing governance with officials in Lekang City at this time. Seeing Yingying hiding behind the door as if she was about to talk to him, he raised his hand and walked to the door, and said with a funny look: "Why don't you come in and talk?"

Yingying didn't want to disturb them, so she explained in a low voice, looking for a reason to let Qin Rong go out, "I always feel that my brother has lived in this city, so Yingying wants to go out and have a look."

Qin Rong didn't agree immediately. He lifted Yingying's hair on her forehead and curled her lips and smiled: "Why didn't you say that in several cities before?"

It was too dangerous here, he was really worried about letting her go out alone.

Yingying couldn't tell Qin Rong about the system, so she could only hold Qin Rong's arm and look at him: "I really feel that my brother has lived here, third brother, you have to believe in the telepathy between us brother and sister."

Qin Rong looked at her calmly, her pupils under her long eyelashes were dark and glossy. He asked softly, "Is that true?"

For a moment, Yingying felt that Qin Rong was testing something, but Qin Rong soon smiled at her. His expression gently touched Yingying's cheek, "Since that's the case, there is no reason for the third brother to keep you."

"Take those servants with you when you go out, wrap your cloaks and don't walk into the crowd."

Yingying responded one by one, and saw that Qin Rong was really willing to let her go, so she immediately took Xiaodai and others out of the prefecture.

In fact, if it weren't for finding Gu Lingxiao, Yingying wouldn't have been willing to stay in this Lekang City for a moment.

Without Qin Rong around, Yingying lost her sense of security. She asked Xiaodai to walk with her and hold hands, but even so, the two girls' families were still panicked.

"Madam, otherwise let's go back." Xiaodai swallowed. She felt the refugees squatting on both sides shone green, like a group of hungry werewolf.

"Don't be afraid." Yingying comforted and patted her hands, and put them closer to Xiaodai.

He turned around and ordered the sword-holder who followed behind her, and she directed: "You two are walking in front of us, you two go to both sides of us, and the rest are following closely, and people are not allowed to get close."

The guards in black took the order and did as they did. They were tall and burly with their faces, and the long swords hanging around their waists were even more scary. With them pioneering the way for Yingying, the group of refugees really did not dare to get close.

[Go ahead a little further.] The system commands Yingying.

According to the data, it divided Yingying into an area with Gu Lingxiao's life atmosphere, from downtowns to mountains and forests to market medicine shops. Yingying walked according to what the system said, first went to the medicine shop where Gu Lingxiao's breath was.

"Boss, have you ever seen this person?" Xiaodai expanded the portrait in her hand.

In the chaotic times, the business in the pharmacy owner's store was booming. He just glanced at him and withdrew his gaze and focused on what he was doing.

"I haven't seen it before!"

Yingying and Xiaodai looked at each other, Xiaodai took out a ingot of silver and put it in front of the boss, and asked again.

"Girl, I've never seen the young one before." After collecting the money, the owner of the pharmacy shop became more enthusiastic about Yingying, but after he carefully looked at the portrait several times, the words he said were the same.

Maybe... it was her brother who disguised himself.

Without getting favorable information from the owner of the pharmacy shop, Yingying and the others had to leave and go to the next place. While they stepped out of the pharmacy gate, the woman in a simple dressed woman looked over her body in a panic. The man who was protecting her side also followed her back when she saw this and asked quietly: "What's wrong?"

The woman grabbed the man's hand, and she reluctantly smiled and said, "I suddenly became a little tired. Husband, can we go home?"

The two of them quickly walked in the opposite direction of the medicine shop. At this time, a crisp reminder sound came from Yingying's ears: [Host, I noticed that Gu Lingxiao was around here!]

Yingying quickly looked around, but only saw the crowd.

“Where is it?”

"Where is my brother?" Yingying walked forward anxiously, but was blocked by the refugees who were lying at the door of the medicine shop.

Seeing that someone was unconscious again, the refugees gathered around quickly surrounded him. The black-clad servant was afraid that the group of people would hit the master, so he quickly drew his sword to drive him away. Yingying didn't have the time to be afraid and chased a man who looked very much like Gu Lingxiao into the market.

"elder brother!"

"Gu Lingxiao!"

Yingying didn't know that her real brother had already left the market, and the person whose back was 80% similar to her brother disappeared into the market and disappeared into the crowd. Turning left and right, she chased a corner of slaves, and someone was whipping the person curled up on the ground.

"I'll let you run for me! Let's see if you dare to run!"

"Run, if you have the ability, get up and run!"

Yingying stopped, caring about Gu Lingxiao and did not give too much thought to the surroundings until the man who was whipping the whip exclaimed: "What are you wearing on your neck?"

Under the sunlight, a light red light thrust into Yingying's eyes. She followed the light and saw a girl kneeling on the ground. She grabbed the thing between her neck and cried to the man: "Please don't take it away, this is what my sister left to me."

"You give it back to me, and I will never run away again."

The string was torn apart under great force, and a silver ring inlaid with rubies rolled down on the ground and fell at Yingying's feet. She squatted down and picked it up and saw that it was the ring she gave to Xueer not long ago.

"Who dares to steal my things? Put it down!" The man who waved the whip approached fiercely, but was stopped by the guards beside Yingying.

"If you dare to get close, you will kill you!" Several guards drew their swords at the same time.

The man felt timid when he saw this posture. He took a step back and changed his face: "Aunt, girl, this is a villain's thing, please return it to the villain."

"Your?" The ring was stained with blood, and Yingying grabbed it into her palm and raised her head.

With the guards protecting the road, she reached the man in a few steps, squatted down and looked at the figure curled up on the ground. She tentatively called out: "Xue'er?"

The bruised figure shook when she heard the sound. It took a long time before she raised her head. The face covered in mud was indeed Xue'er.

"Sister..." When Xueer saw Yingying again, she was excited and shocked.

She shook her hands and grabbed Yingying's skirt and cried, "Sister, please save Xue'er, Xue'er should not be sold as a slave."

In the Northern Territory, slave trading is actually prohibited.

Yingying didn't expect that a war would lead to a group of monsters and monsters. She helped the person up from the ground and promised: "Sister will definitely save you."

Not only did he want to save Xue'er, but even the other slaves and Yingying who were locked up here were rescued.

Seeing Yingying dared to be so arrogant, the man who waved the whip could no longer bear it. At this moment, he was no longer afraid of the knife in the guard's hand and shouted loudly: "I don't give me money and I want to let all my people go. I think you are a woman who is because of the courage of the bear heart. Don't you ask who I am before going out?"

Yingying didn't know who he was, so she just ordered with the guards: "Send him to the government."

"Official?" The man laughed a few times as if he heard some joke. Then his face became extremely vicious, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I see you are looking for death!"

He actually dared to be a slave and a soldier, so he naturally had the ability to be without fear of seeing officials. Soon, more than a dozen burly men surrounded the inconspicuous corners, holding sticks, knives and tools in their hands.

Seeing this, Xueer pushed Yingying and said worriedly, "Sister, go quickly, don't worry about me."

Yingying comforted her hand and told her not to be afraid. The guards around her were all masters of the imperial city and were more than enough to deal with these people. Even Xiaodai was not in a hurry. She protected Yingying and said, "Madam, let's leave here first."

The sword has no eyes, and Yingying also plans to help Xue'er to a clean place to rest first.

Just as he was about to turn around, Xueer's legs staggered and stumbled. Yingying and Xiaodai went to help people together, which just gave the whip the opportunity to take advantage of the whip. He took advantage of the whip and waved at Yingying fiercely, and his murderous intent was revealed on his face, "Go to die!"

"Sister, be careful--" Yingying could have avoided it, but Xueer quickly hugged her at this time.

Bang-

As the sky turned around, Yingying and Xueer turned their direction. Then the dull sound of whips came, and the long whip passed through the guard and hit Xueer hard.

The warm blood quickly spurted into Yingying's neck. Xueer instantly spitted blood. She fell on Yingying's shoulder and looked at the person in a daze, saying with difficulty: "It's okay... sister, it's okay."

After the words came, Xue'er couldn't hold on and fainted on Yingying. Yingying hurriedly caught the person and shouted in panic: "Xue'er..."

At this moment, I didn't care about finding Gu Lingxiao anymore, for fear of Xue'er's danger. After the guards dealt with the group of people, Yingying anxiously said, "Go and find the doctor and go back to the prefectural palace."
