Chapter 320 Private Soldiers
Chapter 320 Private Soldier
Author: Wu Youyan
Ling Yuan, who had originally wanted to steal a little while, suddenly became energetic again and continued to fiddle with the dustpan in her hand.
"No wonder I heard that those who were arrested into the Shui City have never seen them. It turns out that the lover was tortured to death like this."
Ling Yuan couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
Someone next to him heard it, and quickly "shhh" at her and whispered: "Beware of being heard by the supervisor."
Just be clear about these things in your heart, and you don’t need to say them out.
In fact, although the matter in the Huashui City was kept tightly hidden, no one outside knew what those people were arrested for, but they didn't see them after they were brought in, and everyone knew it.
Most of those people were carried to mass graves after death and eaten up by wild animals.
"No, if they do this, will no one dare to resist?"
Ling Yuan asked curiously.
The people arrested were added together, and there were at least tens of thousands of people.
Everyone rushed forward. Can these supervisors and the soldiers guarding the city gate kill all so many people?
If you are too impatient, you will have to rush to even hurt the enemy by 1,000 and you will suffer 800.
The man looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Do you think the soldiers guarding the city are the only ones you see?"
Ling Yuan subconsciously glanced at Li Huang on the other side, then turned her head back, looked at him, and asked, "Isn't it?"
The man sneered: "Of course it's not all. This Shuishu City has stored at least 50,000 soldiers."
fifty thousand……
Ling Yuan widened her eyes and almost screamed.
"How do you know? Where do these soldiers come from? Are you not afraid of attracting attention?"
The man approached her a little bit and said in a volume of almost whispering, "Of course those soldiers did not come in openly. Some of them were like this now. They caught the strong men and brought them in, and some…"
He coughed and continued, "It was just a slander to suppress bandits in the surrounding mountains and forests, and when he came back, the number of people increased."
Ling Yuan was dumbfounded. This was too arrogant.
"It doesn't seem to be hidden for long, right?"
The man said, "So, this only started last year. Now, don't you know everything you should know?"
Ling Yuan: "..."
At this time, Li Huang hit her and reminded: "Is the piece in your dustpan an ore?"
Ling Yuan moved her gaze back to her small dustpan in surprise, and then she realized that something shiny was lying inside.
The person next to him saw it and looked envious: "It seems that you can at least make a steamed bun."
Ling Yuan sighed. If you want to put this outside, let alone steamed buns, you can at least go to a restaurant for a good meal.
So she stood up and raised the ore in her hand and said loudly: "Official, I have bought a powder mine. Can I change two more steamed buns?"
Powder ore is much more expensive than ordinary gold ore. After all, this thing is rare. If it is used to make jewelry, it can be priceless.
So, it wouldn't be too much for her to change a few more steamed buns.
But who are these supervisors?
Can they talk so easily?
The foreman came over, glanced at him, and signaled to his subordinates behind him: "Give him a steamed bun."
Ling Yuan argued with reason: "Give one more? How can one have the strength to work? If I had known that such a large ore would not be able to exchange for two steamed buns, I might as well swallow the ore directly!"
When the supervisor heard this, he immediately turned dark: "Your damn dares to have any objections?"
Ling Yuan pretended to be cringing and pitiful: "How dare I have any objections? However, the little one has always had good luck. Maybe I can find some good things in the middle of the night. It is better to be kind and give me more steamed buns."
The supervisor didn't know if she was convinced or had any other plans, so he waved his hand to give him more steamed buns.
Ling Yuan pretended to be ecstatic and thanked her repeatedly.
After getting the steamed bun, she immediately gave one to Li Huang. The master and servant were about to chew when a loud "gurgling" sound suddenly came from beside her.
The air suddenly quieted for a while, Ling Yuan endured the pain and handed it to the man half.
The man didn't expect that he could get some food after just chatting with her for a few words. He immediately took it in surprise and stuffed it into his mouth, as if he was afraid that someone would rob him.
The others looked envious.
Li Huang held the steamed bun, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Someone saw that she was reluctant to speak, and some said sourly: "It's better to have a brother to protect her. If you buy a piece of ore, you can ask for a portion of food for yourself."
Another man said "stop" and said, "If you have the ability, you will be reincarnated and let your mother give birth to you an older brother."
At this time, someone came to Li Huang and said, "What? I have never eaten such a bad steamed bun? Then you can do it for me and I will help you."
As he said that, he reached out and snatched it.
Ling Yuan raised her hand and pinched the man's wrist, her eyes full of coldness: "I'm snatching food under my nose? Are you tired of working?"
The man didn't expect that Ling Yuan looked at the thin and small person with such a big force. When she pinched her, he felt that his wrist was about to break.
However, he dared to scream again, for fear of attracting the attention of the supervisors there.
"Brother, let go, my hand is about to break!" He grinned in pain, "It was all misunderstandings just now, misunderstandings."
Ling Yuan snorted, shook the man's wrist and warned coldly: "Get out!"
Her hand was exposed, and other people who had the same plan could not help but silently suppress their thoughts.
Many people have been working here for three or five months, and have had no meal every day, and have long lost the power of a normal man. How dare they fight with these people who have just come in?
This is another reason why no one dares to resist for so long.
Li Huang sat on a stone, gnawed a bite of the dry and hard steamed bun, and hooked his finger at Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan leaned over and heard her lower her voice and said, "You can find an opportunity to find out who is in charge of Huashui City now."
The previous guard of the city was General Weiyuan Yang Sui, who was the top martial arts scholar whom the emperor personally appointed when he first ascended to Dabao.
Logically speaking, he is unlikely to betrayal.
But after all, the emperor is far away, and the conditions here are indeed a bit difficult, and it is hard to say if you are tempted by others.
Ling Yuan nodded, touched the medicine bottle in her arms, and stood up and walked towards the supervisor over there.
She went there for a long time and didn't come back until the middle of the night.
Li Huang asked: "Why have you been there for so long?"
Ling Yuan pulled her away a little, and then whispered: "General Yang took a new concubine last year, and it belonged to the Han family."
Li Huang: "..."
The Han family is long enough to reach their hands!
"Are those hoarded soldiers and horses from the Han family's private soldiers?"
Ling Yuan nodded: "There was only last year that there were gold mines in the river. They used the money they exchanged for and raised private soldiers."
