After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1117: Drag him out, he's ruined. [2]

"What happened? What's going on? Where are they going?" The villagers asked each other, but no one knew. They even asked the soldiers, but even the soldiers didn't know.

When asked by the villagers, the soldiers simply said, "Don't make a fuss. If you want to know, just follow us."

County Commandant Zhong did not allow them to stop the villagers, which meant he tacitly allowed them to go and watch the excitement, so the soldiers did not stop them and even led the way.

The villagers were excited. They called their friends and family, and those who lived nearby even ran back to the village to shout to everyone: "Go to the new main street and follow the soldiers. There's a great show to see. You'll be missing out if you don't!"

County Commandant Zhong: "..."

The people of Taifeng Town are like grass; they'll dance wildly if the wind blows.

Dangdang Dangdang!
"There's something exciting to see on the new main street in town! Everyone, come and gather!"

County Commandant Zhong: "..."

Damn it, you guys are even making a fuss!

A little while later, the villagers suddenly sprouted up like spring grass in the field, one after another, all rushing towards the new street.

Even the students at Taifu Restaurant came out to see what was happening.

Master Qiong also sent students to call the students in the sentry camp to gather here.

It always caused quite a commotion, startling the townspeople and frightening those imprisoned, including Liuge'er.

Seeing that the large group was heading towards their small detention courtyard, they hurriedly called out to Wen Yang: "Wen Yang, Wen Yang, you are from the mountains, your mother is the chief of the Wen village, you take your mother's surname, and you can become the young chief. As the young chief, you can't watch us be killed by outsiders, you must save us!"

Wen Yang, true to form, remained invisible.

Seeing this, Liuge'er, Yangzi, and the others became even more anxious. Yangzi called out to him, "Wenyang, Yangzi, Yangzi, we share the same character 'Yang' in our names. You can't just stand by and watch us die!"

Wen Yang was disgusted. His gaze turned cold as he looked out the window and pointed at Yang Zi, saying, "You are ugly, while I am handsome. Moreover, I was the one who first named myself Yang. Your name was given by the Second Chief to belittle my Tenth Chiefdom, so he made you, a mere servant, share the same name with me."

"We've always been enemies, do you think I'd help you?"

"And if you hadn't caused trouble, I wouldn't have had to rush back from the capital to guard you."

The mountain people had houses and shops in the capital city, and Wen Yang was one of the people who stayed behind to look after the shops.

After Liuge'er and the others were imprisoned, the local government outside the mountains feared that they would commit suicide to frame the outside world, so they invited Wen Yang to come to the town and live next door to watch over them.

If Liuge'er and the others commit suicide, Wen Yang will be there to speak on their behalf for those outside the mountains.

"Young Master Wen, there's a message for you in the mountains," County Lieutenant Zhong called out to Wen Yang.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yang hurriedly ran towards County Commandant Zhong and asked, "Where is the letter? Give it to me quickly."

Wen Yang wasn't stupid; he had already sensed something was wrong from the strange activity last night.

But his mother had told him that the mountains were no longer suitable for the Wen family to live in, and that it was time for the Wen family to leave the mountains; he was the branch that was going to leave the mountains.

Therefore, he was instructed to follow the orders of the court outside the mountains and to respect the people outside the mountains.

Wen Yang kept this teaching in mind. Even when he noticed something unusual, he didn't ask any questions and just waited for the officials and soldiers at the two gates to come and tell him.

“Let’s go to your room to read the letter,” suggested County Magistrate Zhong, fearing he might not be able to bear the bad news from the mountains.

"Alright." Wen Yang was a little nervous, but he led County Magistrate Zhong to his room.

County Magistrate Zhong handed him a letter and a leather bag. The leather bag wasn't large, but it was about an arm's length long.

Wen Yang frowned, hesitated for a moment, then took it, opened it, and his pupils shrank in surprise: "Calf!"

County Commandant Zhong nodded: "This is the military rations that the spies made in the old village... Don't worry, it has been roasted over a fire and treated for disease prevention... Your aunt has been rescued, but your uncle has been turned into military rations by them."

what? !

Wen Yang froze, then flung the leather bag he was holding far away. He rushed over, knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and respectfully picked up the bag, repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was disrespectful of me, but... why?"

Why treat the mountain people like this?
Wen Yang couldn't understand it, and shed tears for the murdered mountain people. In the end, he couldn't control himself and cried out loud.

"What happened? Did Liuge'er and the others break down in tears after being imprisoned for so long?" the villagers asked curiously.

“They’re so arrogant and eat raw meat, how could they cry?!” Some villagers didn’t believe it, thinking that Liuge’er and the others weren’t that fragile.

Who was crying?

"He must be Chief Wen's son. He looks refined, but refined people are always prone to crying."

Dangdang Dangdang!
"Silence! Silence! Anyone making a disturbance, drag them out and get rid of them!" the soldiers shouted, banging gongs.

The villagers then shut up.

Fifteen minutes later, County Commandant Zhong and Wen Yang came out of the house.

"Soldiers from outside the mountain, follow me!" Wen Yang's eyes were moist, and his whole body was filled with murderous intent. He gathered a group of soldiers, opened the door for Liu Ge'er and the others, rushed in, and ignored their shouts. He beat them up and dragged them out one by one.

Splash—splash—splash—!
They dragged the body from the guardhouse all the way to the front yard, then out of the yard gate, and finally to the open space in front of the Xue family's large warehouse.

Wen Yang ordered: "Tie him to the rack!"

"Yes." The soldiers moved swiftly and quickly tied Liuge'er, Yangzi, and the other mountain slaves to the large frame, kindly reminding them, "This kind of large frame is specially used to bind prisoners, making it convenient for torture. It's very sturdy, so don't worry."

Liuge'er and Yangzi were terrified and struggled, shouting, "Wenyang, what do you want to do? Do you want to use us as a pledge of allegiance to the court outside the mountains? You are a mountain dweller! We are the comrades!"

“County Commandant Zhong, Clerk Guan, and that old gentleman, I am the young chieftain of the second stronghold in the mountains. If you use torture on me, the mountain defense line will collapse, and the Eastern Desert army will march from the mountains into the Great Wei! Wen Yang may not know the gravity of this, but you certainly do!” Liu Ge’er shouted.

Although Liuge'er was flustered, he knew that the Wei people always preferred to compromise for the greater good, so he firmly believed that once he said this, one of the three people would definitely come out to stop Wen Yang from torturing them!

However, no.

County Magistrate Zhong, Clerk Guan, and Old Man Qiong all gave him only one sentence: "You are the son of a spy from the Eastern Desert, and your death is not a pity!"

"..." The color drained from Liuge'er's face, but he calmed down and laughed, "What spy's son? Don't try to frame me with some crime and torture me. I want to see Magistrate Kang. I am the young chief of the Second Stronghold. I demand to see Magistrate Kang!"

County Lieutenant Zhong: "We'll let you see us. After Young Master Wen finishes torturing you, we'll take you to the county office to see Magistrate Kang."

Magistrate Kang, who was not present: "..."

Don't send it to General Liang in the capital, don't send it to me!
Dangdang Dangdang!
"Silence! Young Master Wenyang has something to say!" the soldiers shouted.

The villagers quieted down.

Wen Yang leaped onto the square table, holding up a letter: "Fellow villagers outside the mountains, this is a letter from my mother, Chief Wen. It says that our old village has been overrun by spies and turned into a spy stronghold. Spies from the Eastern Desert are in the old village..."

Wen Yang choked up several times before finally recounting the terrible atrocities committed by the Eastern Desert spies in the mountains.

However, he omitted the story of the rat plague.
