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

Chapter 1120 Nationwide Rat Extermination
The villagers fell silent upon hearing this.

After a while, when no one spoke, Qin Xiaomi stood up and said to Grandma Qin, "Grandma, let's go home and have breakfast. I'm hungry."

This cry was like a summoning of a spirit, and the villagers all looked at her, feeling that she was not human.

Which normal person, which normal young girl, would remain so calm after witnessing the execution and learning about the existence of the "leg rations"?
Still eating breakfast?

Can you even eat that?!

"Oh, come on, come on, let's go home." Grandma Qin hurriedly grabbed Qin Xiaomi's hand and led her away.

Before leaving, Qin Xiaomi wanted to say something, but Grandma Qin covered her mouth and said, "Don't say anything, it's not appropriate for you to say anything."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Grandma." Qin Xiaomi didn't say anything more, but called out to Madam Guan, "Grandma Guan, remember to eat breakfast too. You still have a lot of important work to do, so don't go hungry."

Madam Guan smiled and said, "Yes, don't worry, Guan Azu will take good care of himself and do all the work well."

Fellow villagers/students: "..."

Qin Jiang, Xu Qiao, and Guan are truly inhuman, especially the women in those families… Tsk, even at a time like this, you can still laugh? And still talk about food?!
Or, let's all chip in and hire a doctor to take a look at them.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The soldiers banged gongs, attracting everyone's attention.

County Magistrate Zhong continued, "Fellow villagers, the descendants of spies like Liu Ge'er will be taken to the county government office for processing and will no longer be imprisoned in Taifeng Town."

"Little, little leg...can you take it with you?" a villager asked in a low voice, sounding very scared.

County Magistrate Zhong: "It is evidence of spies harming people, so it should naturally be taken to the yamen as well."

Phew, the villagers can rest assured.

Village Chief Miao then asked, "County Commandant Zhong, war is coming! What should we do? Should we all flee with our families to escape the war?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the Eastern Desert is ruthless; they eat the mountain people. We have to escape quickly!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
"Calm down, don't panic!" County Commandant Zhong shouted. "His Majesty has already dispatched elite troops from the Northwest to the Tianmang Prefecture camp to fight the enemy. The battle hasn't started yet, so don't panic, folks. Continue with spring plowing and eating. Don't let your imaginations run wild and scare yourselves."

"Today's execution is just to raise everyone's awareness and make them understand that fighting a war is not like a village brawl!"

I'm not telling you to run away for your lives prematurely.

And if Qin Dongjia's speculation is true, then no one can escape.

Fleeing means abandoning defense, which will only lead to the loss of more and more land. Moreover, the prefectures outside the Northeast Province may not accept you, and you will be locked outside the city gates.

Fight, fight hard, face the enemy's attack, only then can you protect the land on which you and your descendants depend for survival.

But the villagers were still afraid.

Grandpa Qin stepped forward and said, "Fellow villagers, don't be afraid. We have soldiers, food, and reason. Heaven will not let the wicked win!"

“I, Qin Yaoshan, will not flee from the war; I will stay and remain with my fellow villagers.”

Uncle Qin: "..."

Dad, Dad, what are you doing!
You're doomed. When you get home, Xiaomi is definitely going to give you a good beating!
Old Qiong and Old Xun also stepped forward and stood next to Grandpa Qin, promising, "Fellow villagers, rest assured, we will not run away. We will stay with you and share life and death."

Zheng Qianjia, and Lu Qian who was revived: "..."

What do you want to do?
For you to say such things is to gamble with the lives of all of us students!

What a pair of selfish old fools! But they have a plan. When the fight really breaks out, they will send someone to knock the two old men unconscious, throw them in a car and take them away. That way, they won't be abandoning their master and running away, but rather rescuing their master from danger.

County Commandant Zhong also said, "I promise that I will protect my fellow villagers during the war, and fight to the last man. There is no need for the villagers to panic."

"Very well, with the promises of Elder Qiong, Elder Xun, County Commandant Zhong, and Elder Qin, we have nothing to fear... My Lü family will listen to them and follow them!" the Lü clan chief declared.

Old Village Chief Zhou hurriedly said, "My Zhou Family Village and all the villages in the west of the town will listen to them and follow their lead. We will never lose our composure!"

"We, the Miao family, will also listen to Elder Qiong and all the students!" The Miao village chief felt that he was right. What were the Xun family and the Qin family compared to him? Even Commander Zhong was powerless in the face of a major battle.

But the famous scholars, the old men, and the young masters had the ability to escape.

His Miao family survived only by following them!
Dangdang Dangdang!
The clerk came out and announced, "Fellow villagers, come to the Silifang meeting this afternoon to discuss important matters concerning spring plowing!"

The villagers were too panicked, so we had to find them something to do. The Silifang was an official place, so having them go there to discuss matters would put their minds at ease.

"Yes, yes, yes, we'll go to Silifang this afternoon!" Village Chief Cao and the others replied, feeling much more at ease.

The government offices were busy with spring plowing as usual, so the Eastern Desert army hadn't attacked yet, and they could continue their lives as usual.

Dangdang Dangdang!
"Fellow villagers, make way! The young chief of Wenyang Village is escorting the descendants of spies to the yamen!" the messenger shouted, beginning to disperse the crowd and clear the road.

After all the commotion, County Commandant Zhong led his troops, accompanied by Wen Yang, and escorted Liu Ge'er and others. Behind them followed Old Qiong, Grandpa Qin, and Madam Guan's carriage, all heading towards the county government office.

……

When Magistrate Kang saw Old Madam Guan, he knew it was a big deal and his heart jumped into his throat.

After hearing the account, seeing the letter from Yamauchi, and the evidence of the calf, he was completely distraught... his face darkened, and he was on the verge of going insane.

"Master Lu, Master Han, Chief Zhou, you may leave now." Magistrate Kang dismissed all irrelevant people, leaving only those who had been discussing matters at the Qin family's residence the previous night.

"The rat plague could really happen. Could those calves be carrying the plague's stench?" Magistrate Kang wanted to slap himself. What was he looking at? Even if it was crucial evidence, he couldn't look at things that came out of the mountains! What if he got infected?!
County Commandant Zhong said, "Sir, rest assured, the military rations have been roasted five times, which has completely eliminated the pathogenic factors. Those who come into contact with them will not get sick, and there are no cases in the mountains yet."

Magistrate Kang: "If there are no cases, then it's a misjudgment and we don't need to pay attention to it."

Madam Guan countered, "Given what the Eastern Desert has done to our Great Wei, how much of the truth do you think there is about the rat plague, Lord Kang?"

Magistrate Kang remained silent, but he already had the answer in his heart. Judging from the ruthlessness of the people of Dongmo, the matter of the rat plague was ninety percent true.

Madam Guan continued, "Lord Kang, this is a matter of life and death. We must act quickly, or it will be too late when the rat plague appears."

Madam Guan then took out a small box and placed it in front of Magistrate Kang: "Lord Kang, please do it boldly, I will bear the consequences... I have a bond with His Majesty, and even if I die, I will use that bond to protect your family."

This!
Magistrate Kang looked at Madam Guan in shock... Many of them knew the Guan family's background, but this was the first time Madam Guan had spoken about it publicly in all these years.

The fact that she brought up this connection shows how urgent the rat plague was and how it couldn't be delayed.

"The son begged his father to strongly advocate resisting the enemy."

"The son begged his father to strongly advocate resisting the enemy."

Kang Lang's shout came from the gate of the office courtyard.

Kang Lang was unaware of the rat plague. He only knew that Kang Rong had died because of Dongmo, and he had personally witnessed the torture and military rations in Taifeng Town. He harbored hatred towards Dongmo.

Knowing that his father always preferred stability and would probably not help Madam Guan and the others, he knelt outside and shouted after learning that they were talking inside.

Tell Magistrate Kang this: Go ahead and do it boldly. Even if you fail and are held accountable, and your son is implicated, your son will not be afraid or regretful. He will only share the consequences with his father!
