Chapter 1058 Chapter 1059
On the way back, Qi Baoer saw with his own eyes those corpses that were either killed or killed on the spot, or injured and dragged because they ran too slowly.

Those who were injured and were rescued by others but couldn't hold on halfway were lucky, at least part of their bodies remained; while those who did not escape, either only left stumps, or could only survive in one place. Pieces of cloth were seen among the bloodstains.

The happy atmosphere of the rescued survivors of the big team has disappeared. After they encountered the first corpse/body, the entire atmosphere of the big team became heavier and heavier. Many soldiers had forgotten that if they cried, they would be frostbitten. The face is covered with thin ice.

Those who live and die one person, they also eat/one person.

Lieutenant General Rong still had disbelief on his grief-stricken face. He had already issued a strict order to the soldiers to break the order, so he only dared to speak in a very low voice after approaching Qi Baoer.

"My lord, the general feels that this matter is not just aimed at us."

"Huh? Tell me."

Lieutenant General Rong, who had never been in contact with Qi Baoer, was already instinctively afraid of Qi Baoer, who was already under one person and above tens of thousands of people. Seeing her miraculous ability just now, he was even more afraid. fear.

People are like this, while envious and admiring the power beyond the normal, they are actually afraid.

So even if he had the guts to come and speak, he was still trembling, as if Qi Baoer would kneel down to plead guilty if Qi Baoer showed any signs of anger, and his knees never slipped.

Qi Bao'er's easy-talking appearance now conveyed the courage of Vice General Rong Diu Diu, and without looking at anything else, this girl immediately stood up straight on her knees, and her voice no longer trembled as if she was playing the piano.

Vice-General Rong and Qi Baoer analyzed the point that the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, that is, their escort and reward to the Northwest Qijia Army this time was not a matter of the imperial court's plan, but a temporary decision and a hasty departure; Qi Baoer The rush to ask the emperor, and the order to send it to the northwest is also the rush to send it before the Chinese New Year.

This is completely a temporary mission. If the opponent is coming for them, unless the opponent's base camp is nearby, otherwise there will be so many dead and one dead, and it will take a lot of time just to get them here to ambush.

Vice General Rong didn't know anything about the living and the dead, but he observed one thing clearly on the way to escape just now, the living and the dead were not wounded, and then the injured would become the living and dead together. The wounded soldiers all vomited black blood and died as if they had been poisoned.

Therefore, he is basically sure that it is not easy to make a large group of people alive and dead, and it is estimated that it will take some effort for the people behind to make a living and dead person.

He didn't forget that when the deputy general of the Shadowless Army reported to Prince Xian, he said that no one else was around.

Can it be guessed that those living and dead people were not created nearby, but were brought here from afar.

So here comes the question, if so many living and dead people were brought here from afar to ambush them, how could they not be discovered on the way?
The Qilin Kingdom has a vast territory, which has resulted in the fact that in many relatively distant places, it will take a year or a half to send an urgent message to Beijing, and the daylilies are all cold in the end.

Therefore, when Emperor Qiming took office as the next emperor, the first imperial decree was that all yamen and army battalions must raise 'messengers'. Those who were close to Beijing raised pigeons with fast speed but relatively poor stamina, while those who were farther away would raise pigeons. It's an eagle.

In other words, as long as this group of living and dead people is found somewhere, such abnormal things will definitely attract the attention of the government, and Feixin Jingzhong is also sure.

However, as far as he knew, Jingzhong did not seem to have received any news in this regard, otherwise Prince Xian would not let his own brother go back to the northwest with their team.

In other words, those living and dead people were brought here quietly.

This place is still within the boundaries of Changzhou, unless the government of Changzhou colludes with the people behind the living and dead people to deceive the upper and lower, otherwise such a large number of living and dead teams, if they want to avoid the government's attention Sight, that's not a one-way thing.

Qi Baoer didn't agree with what he said, but she didn't refute it either, she just walked forward with a calm expression.

Her reaction naturally encouraged Lieutenant Rong even more, and her speech became smoother.

He mustered up his courage, rolled his throat and continued: "My lord, as far as I know, after the new year, the household department has a sum of money for repairing rivers that will be shipped to the northwest."

Vice General Rong knew about this not because he had anything to do with it, but because this matter had long been a secret in the court, and there had been more than one quarrel in the court over the money.

The northwest is a place with less water and more desertification, but there is a big river in the northwest that is similar to the Yellow River in Qi Baoer's previous life, running from the south to the west and then to the north.

That river is called the "River of Destiny" by the Northwesterners.

There is a lot of sand in the northwest, and many places where the Ming River passes in the northwest are sandy. The sedimentation has piled up the river bank, and even blocked the river course, causing floods on both sides of the river.

People at this time had no way to control the water. Apart from building embankments on both sides of the bank where people lived, and sending people to the upper reaches to clean up the river every year, there was no other means.

But it is obvious that this is absolutely not enough. Last year, a place called Huizhou in the northwest suddenly encountered a huge flood. Not only the villages near the Ming River were hit, but even the main city, Huicheng, was mostly flooded. .

This incident alarmed the court.

Then there was a quarrel, the Ministry of Industry proposed to extend the embankment, the Ministry of Households stood up and said that there was no money to be made, and many old officials felt that it was unnecessary to make it so big, while the young officials felt that we should squeeze out some money for the future. .

In short, each had their own ideas and sufficient reasons, and it took half a year of quarreling before the matter could be considered as a result.

Both sides have won, and the river embankment is extended, but it must be within the tolerance of the national treasury.

Qi Bao'er doesn't know about repairing rivers, and she is not suitable for being a minister of the Ministry of War. In addition, she is lazy, so she doesn't know much about this matter. She only knows that from the end of the year, the court will He began to vigorously rectify the Ming River to protect the people on both sides of the river.

But no matter how she understands it, she also knows that this matter cannot be accomplished overnight, it is a long-term battle, and the amount of silver taels required is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The sum of money that Vice General Rong mentioned early next year is just the first sum that the imperial court will ship to the northwest to build river channels and embankments.

How should I put it, I was unwilling to do anything to her, so I didn't pay much attention to it, and Qi Baoer didn't bother with the matter here, and now I was reminded by Vice General Rong...
Seeing Prince Xian's expression became serious, Vice General Rong heaved a sigh of relief. He was not full and wasted his life to troublesome things. It was because this matter was of great importance. If something happened to He Yinzi, his conscience would be disturbed for the rest of his life.

What's more, how could his soldiers die in vain?
