There were more than a dozen Ming troops in this line.

The two leading the way were riding horses, while the ones behind followed.

They were not fast and seemed to be looking for something.

When they saw the village in front, a group of people looked at each other, with a little joy in their eyes.

"Mr. Zhang, there are people in that village!"

"Yes, I saw it, too."

"Damn it, the last time the Tartars came in, they drove everyone away."

"Fortunately, I ran back a little while ago, so we won't run away in vain."

"The court has transported so much baggage here, which is a good opportunity for the barbarians to come and grab things."

"Our brothers come out to patrol, don't help you get some heads for the general and go back to report your merits?"

"Before the war begins, the general will be promoted to an official position and will be able to repay greater contributions!"

A group of people accelerated their pace and walked towards the village where Zhu Houzhao and others passed before.

......

When the remaining villagers in the village saw Zhu Houzhao and others coming, they all went into the house to hide and dared not come out.

Later, Zhu Houzhao asked someone to pay them silver, and the villagers were a little unbelievable.

Some people held the broken silver that had bitten a few bites in their hands and murmured: "It's real silver..."

"With these money, we won't have to starve to death this year..."

The villagers took the money and gathered together, talking happily.

"That group of people just now is probably the adults sent by the imperial court to supervise the war."

"But this adult actually took a small road to our small villages and gave us silver."

An aunt clasped her hands together and said gratefully: "What a good person."

Grandpa Zheng, who was a little older, asked, "Did every family get the money?"

Everyone nodded.

In their village, people were abducted and the rest were almost gone.

The last time the Tartars came, they were lucky enough to hide and were not found.

My life was saved, but my family was also looted.

Even the crops in the fields were trampled.

Now this silver is really life-saving money for them.ъìＱυＧΕtV.℃ǒΜ

"Those Tartars have just arrived, and our village is probably safe."

"Select a few people to go around and see if you can buy some food and come back."

Grandpa Zheng, who is a little older, is directing everyone to act.

The remaining population is not large, and the total number is estimated to be less than twenty.

Everyone has rare smiles on their faces for good luck today.

The two people who were guarding the village entrance were also happily discussing the people passing by today.

But this good luck disappeared when I heard the sound of horse hooves.

Dada dada...

When the sound of horse hooves sounded, the two people who were looking at the wind turned their heads and saw a small group of Ming troops walking towards them.

Seeing his own people, these two people were completely relieved.

"The army is here!"

"I came here two days ago, why are I here again today?"

It is obviously my own person, but it is like a flood and a beast.

These two people who looked at the wind didn't care too much and walked towards the village.

As I walked, I didn't dare to shout, for fear of leading the person to his side and giving the other party a way.

Riding on a horse and walking in front.

It was the person who was called Zhang Ba.

He rode on the horse and saw a distance. He saw two people over there and ran away when he saw him.

He said "hey".

"What to run?"

"Speed ​​up, catch up!"

After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly and followed the person who was also riding a horse.

The two people who were watching the wind ran away in dispersion.

The two of them chased after the two of them in one direction.

Two legs can't run four legs.

The two of them were caught up in an instant.

"Why did you run away when you see Jun Ye coming?"

Zhang Ba Zheng rode on the horse, and raised the whip in his hand and hit the villager directly.

The villager was whipped in the back and immediately rushed forward.

He fell to the ground, his nose hit the ground, and his nose bleeded in an instant.

Just as he turned around in fear and wanted to ask for forgiveness, he continued to whip down.

The villager said "Ah!" and begged for mercy quickly: "Mr. Jun, please spare me, I dare not!"

President Zhang whipped two whips and finally felt much more comfortable.

He looked down at the people curled up on the ground and said directly: "How many people have come back from your village?"

The villager shook and said, "No, not many."

"I'm just a little guy and a few people back..."

"Tsk, if you don't want toast, you'll be punished for wine."

As he said that, all the soldiers behind him ran over.

"Go and gather all the villagers who came back from the village. I have something to ask."

After giving the order, he looked at the people on the ground again.

Not sure what he thought of, Mr. Zhang suddenly smiled.

"I ran away when I saw our army, and I guess it was a spy who ran back from outside the pass."

"It's a big deal of secrets to be revealed and killed!"

After saying that, he stopped caring about the matter here and rode into the village on his horse.

People running in another direction are hiding all the way.

He actually escaped the pursuit of the people behind him.

Listening to the sound of horse hooves, the man shook his feet and wanted to go back to where everyone in the village was.

But as soon as I took a few steps, I heard the sound of soldiers searching for the village.

"Everyone in the house comes out, we Zhang always have something to ask!"

"come out!"

The villager hurriedly hid again.

Although those soldiers were soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, these villagers avoided this group of people like snakes and scorpions.

The villagers who got together to discuss sending people to buy food were soon discovered.

Suddenly they were surrounded, and everyone was pale and trembling.

Some younger women quickly buried their heads and hid in the crowd.

Grandpa Zheng asked with a tough bullet, "This military master, is the Tartars coming again?"

Zhang Ba Zhang, who was asked, did not answer, but asked directly: "All the people who come back are here?"

"Can anyone come back in other villages?"

Grandpa Zheng shook his head: "I don't know."

"We have only been back in the past two days, and want to see if there is any remaining food at home."
