Qin Feng and Huo Guang, plus two small guards, after breaking away from the large army, went straight to Ningyuan County, where the barbarians were most concentrated earlier, and now it is renamed Ningyuan County. Among the more than 100,000 barbarians who www.biquge.info descended the mountain, about seventy or eighty percent were concentrated near Ningyuan. What Qin Feng was most worried about now was the placement of these barbarians.

The barbarians must not be allowed to return to the mountains, that will repeat the mistakes of the past, especially when Murong Hong has not been exterminated, if these barbarians escape back to the mountains, they will once again become the capital of Murong Hong's rebellion. The four counties of the Northland are not large, their resources are limited, and they are too close to the mountains, so they must be scattered and resettled, but it is not easy to get these barbarians to go willingly. At least judging from Wang Gui's previous twists and turns, this matter did not go smoothly.

"This herbal tea is strong, boss, another pot!" Huo Guang drank a dark red tea in the big bowl in front of him in one go, and a cool breath penetrated his limbs, how comfortable it was to be in such a season.

"Not bad, indeed." Qin Feng also nodded again and again: "Boss, what kind of tea are you, how does it look like a leaf?" ”

The old man who set up the tea stall brought a big black kettle that I don't know how long it took to come over, filled the big bowl in front of several people again, and said with a smile: "This is originally a leaf, it is a kind of fruit tree here, called Ningqing tree, the fruit is like an apple, it can be eaten, and the leaves can be made into tea and drunk. ”

"And a tree like this?" Huo Guang asked in surprise.

The old man looked at a few people: "A few people are not locals, are they from other places?" This tree is everywhere in us. ”

Qin Feng nodded: "Yes, we are from the side of Yuejing City, didn't the imperial army take back the four counties of the Northland and change them to Fuyuan County?" We are businessmen and want to come and see if there is any way to do business. ”

The old man shook his head again and again: "What business is there to do?" You outsiders, I don't know what the four counties of the Northland look like now? Listen to the old man's advice, go back quickly, and go as far as possible while it's still early. Otherwise, when it gets dark, a well-dressed man like you, who looks like a rich man, will not live to tomorrow. ”

"Is it so messy here now?" Qin Feng was speechless.

"Can you not mess around?" The old man pointed to the distance, where there was a river, and on the other side of the river, there were dense shacks, and there were many people sitting by the river. "Those barbarians, now they can't advance or retreat, they are trapped here, they have no place to eat and drink, people, if you want to live, you can't do anything."

"Since they are so vicious, old man, you dare to set up a stall here, you are not afraid of being robbed by them." Huo Guang was a little unconvinced.

"The old man has been neighbors with these people for two years, and I have been setting up a stall here for many years, and when these barbarians were doing well in the first two years, they often patronized my stall, and they are very familiar with me, and they will not rob me." The old man shook his head.

"Old man, do the locals here have a deep hatred and hostility with these barbarians?" Qin Feng asked thoughtfully.

The old man smiled bitterly: "That's not necessarily, there must be, but most of them can still get along peacefully." Most of those barbarians are like old men, poor people, just running around for a mouth all day long. It's just that now, they can't even fool their mouths. ”

Qin Feng and Huo Guang glanced at each other: "No, as far as we know, the imperial court has special money and grain assistance for Fuyuan County, and a large part of it is to settle these barbarians, how can it become like this?" ”

Huo Guang also sat up straight, "Are you greedy by the officials here?" ”

The old man smiled and shook his head: "Greed? There is also at the beginning, but I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is very powerful now, and if the official dares to be greedy, he will dare to kill, and the newly appointed Wang Junshou is a general, and he is even more murderous without blinking. ”

"How, then, is there no bread for the famine?" Both of them were strange.

"This is because our Wang Junshou is only willing to give food to those barbarians who go." The old man simply sat opposite Qin Feng: "I heard that the imperial court wants to divide these barbarians into various counties in the Ming Dynasty, and these barbarians are unwilling to go, so Wang Junshou made this move, and those who are willing to leave will be given food immediately, and the county soldiers will escort them on the road, and those who are unwilling to leave will have no food." ”

"The barbarians don't want to go." Qin Feng Dao.

"Of course I don't want to go." The old man lowered his voice and said, "There are legends outside that these barbarians were all killed on the way to be escorted. said that this was a plan of the imperial court to kill the barbarians quickly. ”

Qin Feng laughed, "Then there is such a thing?" Isn't this nonsense? ”

"I don't know if this is true, but there are rumors outside that there are noses and eyes, saying that the tiger can no longer be released to the mountain, think about it, in this way, where are the barbarians who dare to leave? When they get together, they may feel a little safe. It's a pity that if they don't leave, there will be no food to give them, so they will only starve, and people will be very hungry, and of course they can do anything. The old man shook his head. Speaking of which, it looks pitiful, and I want to flee back to the mountains, but now it is blocked by the army, and some of those who escaped by luck can be caught again after a while, and they will be killed on the spot. Wang Junshou, those who stay here are still the people of the Ming Dynasty, and those who obey the placement of the imperial court are good people, and those who dare to flee into the mountains are mountain bandits, and they will be killed. ”

Qin Feng and Huo Guang glanced at each other, and Qin Feng smiled bitterly: "This Wang Junshou is really simple and rude, so if this stalemate continues, won't there be a big mess?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" The old man sighed and said: "I said before that they would not rob me, in fact, I also had the courage to say it, now the locals have food in their hands, these barbarians are concentrated in that area, although there are also soldiers guarding, but there are always people who can sneak out and enter the village, here, there will be bloody crimes every day, outsiders come here, basically they can't live." ”

"Lao Huo, if you don't come here, you really don't know that things will turn out like this. It's far more brilliant than what we've seen on the excerpts. Qin Feng shook his head and sighed, reached out and took out a few banknotes from his arms, about five taels of silver: "Boss, thank you for telling us so much, this is to thank you." ”

The old man picked up the banknote and was startled, "So much? Guest, my tea is worthless, you can just enjoy a little bit. ”

"This is not tea money, this is thank you for saying so much to us." Qin Feng smiled and stood up.

"Guest officer, hurry back, Fuyuan is in chaos now, wait for a while, you come back, maybe it's better." Old man said.

"Okay, thank you boss!" Qin Feng smiled and nodded.

A few people walked out of the simple shed in the air, and were about to leave, but a clear singing voice suddenly came, Qin Feng's eyes lit up, and when he looked at the past along the singing, he was taken aback again.

The singing voice is very good, but the person who sings is a little unusual, looking at the clothes on her body, she should be a barbarian woman, but her clothes are tattered, and she can hardly hide her shame. His eyes were also a little dull, but his voice was extremely clear, and he was walking towards this side step by step.

The old man didn't seem to be surprised, and while cleaning up the tea bowl, he sighed: "It's also a poor person, this woman was a woman from a rich family earlier." ”

"What's wrong with her, is she being bullied?" Qin Feng took a look, although the woman was unclothed and unkempt, she had a graceful figure and a good-looking face.

"I heard that this woman used to be the daughter of a barbarian general, and later married a local official, and that person also relied on this relationship, where did he become an official in the barbarians, but later, the barbarians were defeated, and the family saw that it was not good, so they drove the woman out of the house, and that's it, the woman also gave birth to a son, and the woman went to ask for her son, and as a result, she was beaten once, and became a little sluggish. She, now she is crazy, but she still remembers to ask for her son, and the end is naturally not good, and now the family, shaking her head, has become the official of the Ming Dynasty again. The woman's father and brother both went to war, and I heard that they all died under the city of Zhengyang County. ”

Qin Feng's face changed slightly.

"Boss, are there many such things?"

The old man smiled: "The barbarians have been down the mountain for more than two years, in fact, in the past two years, there have been many locals who have intermarried with the barbarians, but ordinary people are not as ruthless as this official." ”

"You royal guards don't have anything to say about this?"

"We don't know." The old man shook his head and said: "That's a matter from above, but looking at it like this, I'm afraid that this Ming Dynasty can't tolerate these barbarians." Poor Ro! ”

Qin Feng's expression was a little complicated, watching the woman singing, and actually walked straight towards the river embankment, before he could see it, the woman actually jumped up, popped, and jumped into the river.

Qin Feng was startled, his body moved slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he had already reached the river embankment, and the old man's exclamation had not completely stopped, but Qin Feng had already carried the wet woman back to the tea stall.

"Wrap this woman in a dress, take him, and we'll go to the county seat!" Qin Feng's face was a little ugly. The old man blinked his eyes and looked at Qin Feng, even if he was dull, he knew the extraordinaryness of these people in front of him at this time, just because this young man saved people just now, although the old man's eyes widened, he didn't see clearly how Qin Feng suddenly went to the river embankment so far away, and how he rescued this woman in front of him.

"Boss, when you meet those barbarians you know, tell them that soon the court will give them an explanation. In a few days, there will be food arriving here. Qin Feng dropped these words, turned around and strode away.

One of the two small guards, the big one, carried the woman on his back and followed closely.

"Dare to love this is a court official who came to Weifu for a private visit!" Behind him, the old man suddenly realized.
