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

Chapter 1155 The Merger of Two Counties and the Rise of Chaos
After another day of travel, although the group was still within Qihuang County, they encountered some familiar faces.

It was the people from Linshan County who caught up with them.

County Lieutenant Shen rode up on horseback and charged straight to the front of the procession from the back to the front, requesting an audience with County Magistrate Kang and County Lieutenant Zhong.

Because of the spy's involvement and because of Jia Xiang's family, the two counties had a good relationship, and County Lieutenant Shen was soon invited to set up camp in the county government.

“Magistrate Kang, Lieutenant Zhong, I am acting on behalf of the magistrate of Linshan County to deliver a letter to Baofu County, requesting that the two counties merge to escape the war together.” Lieutenant Shen was afraid that Magistrate Kang would pretend to be confused again, so he spoke directly.

He cleverly slipped the letter into County Lieutenant Zhong's hand, grinned at him... "Brother, we're both soldiers, please help me out, I beg you."

County Magistrate Zhong was indeed a good man. He opened the letter and read it before Magistrate Kang could stop him... The magistrate of Linshan County was quite literate. The letter was written with genuine feelings, and there were even traces of tears on the paper.

County Lieutenant Shen: "These are real tears, not just water droplets. Our magistrate is truly terrified. There are so many people, but how many soldiers does Linshan County have? We simply can't protect them all, so we've come to seek refuge with Baofu County."

Magistrate Kang, County Lieutenant Zhong, and their two advisors, Han and Lu: "..."

County Lieutenant Shen then sincerely praised, "When we passed through Qihuang County, we were able to sleep soundly, all thanks to Magistrate Kang's stern execution of the wicked bandit Miao from Qihuang County!"

Luo Yaliang and his group did indeed have the beginnings of banditry.

It was only after witnessing the ominous signs of the Qihuang County forces that the Linshan County Magistrate ordered County Lieutenant Shen to lead men to catch up with the Baofu County troops and ask them to wait for them for one day.

"We will definitely arrive by tomorrow afternoon and will not delay the people of Baofu County!" County Commandant Shen added, "Our magistrate has also taken several of Luo Yaliang's accomplices with him on the way, saying that they will testify for Baofu County after arriving in the capital city that the magistrate of Qihuang County took advantage of the chaos of war to forcibly collect money from the people of the county, and will help you arrest the magistrate of Qihuang County!"

Magistrate Kang really didn't want to help Linshan County, because Baofu County had plenty of resources, connections, and troops. If he went alone, he could provide enough supplies to help the people of Baofu County.

Once Linshan County joins, everything—east and west, connections (which can provide protection), and military strength—will be divided between Linshan County.

Baofu County is operating at a complete loss.

Ke Ling, a centurion, came from the capital, and there was also the Guan family grandfather and grandson. If he didn't lend a hand, and the two of them filed a complaint, how could he be promoted to the capital and become a government official?

Magistrate Kang said, “County Lieutenant Shen is too kind. We are brother counties. Since Magistrate Lin has spoken, I should naturally agree.”

"Thank you so much, Magistrate Kang!" County Lieutenant Shen bowed to Magistrate Kang three times with great excitement, and said, "I will send someone back immediately to inform all the people of our county of this good news!"

Although County Lieutenant Shen was very worried about his eldest son, he was afraid that Magistrate Kang would secretly run away with the people of Baofu County, so he decided to stay and keep an eye on Magistrate Kang.

Magistrate Kang: "..."

Leaving aside the entire Great Wei, he was certainly a good official in this northeastern province!

Dangdang Dangdang!
Dangdang Dangdang!
The messenger quickly relayed the new order: "The new order from Magistrate Kang and Lieutenant Zhong is that we will not set off tomorrow. We will rest for a day and wait for the people of Linshan County to come and join us! It will be safer for the two counties to travel together, and we won't be afraid of being bullied if we encounter other large counties!"

"The villagers can use this day to chop firewood, boil water, cook food, or take a good rest to recover their health!"

"We won't be traveling tomorrow, so we can stop and prepare cooked food!" The people of Qihuang County were very happy. Because they were reluctant to leave their homes and property, they did not believe General Liang's proclamation and did not prepare any rations for battle. Today, they were so hungry from traveling that they ate raw flour and drank a few mouthfuls of raw water to fill their stomachs.

Upon hearing this order, I intend to use this day to prepare as much dry food and boil water as possible for storage.

The next day, the villagers slept in, which was a rare treat.

But after 7 a.m., the camp became lively, with many people going to find firewood and queuing up for medical treatment.

The Qin family's female doctor, Wuze Pharmacy, Changji Pharmacy, the two gates of the government and military, and even Old Master Xun were all busy treating patients.

No one died or miscarried; most of the cases were due to heatstroke caused by the extreme heat.

Old Xun then suggested to Magistrate Kang: "Magistrate, since you have some free time today, brew a lot of heat-relieving tea and distribute it to the villagers. This will reduce the chances of them getting heatstroke and falling ill."

"If you take good care of your health, you'll be able to resist some of the bacteria from the rat plague and won't get infected immediately." "I'll listen to you, sir. I'll brew some heat-relieving tea right away and distribute it to everyone in the team!" Magistrate Kang thought about the 100,000 people in Baofu County. If there were any epidemic, the infectiousness would be so great that he wouldn't even need to scratch his hair; it would fall out in clumps.

"Understood." Old Master Xun immediately ordered the doctors to fetch the medicine and distribute it to each town, where each town would then brew and distribute it themselves.

The people of Qihuang County also received a batch of herbal tea for relieving summer heat, and Magistrate Kang appointed Huang Ni'er's father and the men from the same street as the leaders of Qihuang County.

Along the way, they were responsible for negotiating with the government troops at the second gate.

Manager Huang was very grateful and, showing his courage, beat back those people from Qihuang County who didn't want to follow their arrangements.

They also warned: "We are at war now, and you have seen the situation in Qihuang County. If you still don't cherish your blessings, we will go to Magistrate Kang to explain the situation and get you out of here. Don't even think about following the Baofu County troops anymore!"

The clan leaders of the major clans in Qihuang County were frightened upon hearing this.

Thinking of the matter in Qihuang County, he finally gave up his thoughts of vying for power and only focused on leading his family and clan to try to survive in this great war.

afternoon.

Dangdang Dangdang!
"Wei Min from Linshan County has arrived!" Magistrate Lin and Assistant Magistrate Hu finally arrived with the large contingent from Linshan County.

"Brother Kang, you are so righteous, I am deeply grateful!" Magistrate Lin, along with his men, went to thank Magistrate Kang.

Magistrate Kang was particular about appearances, so he received him, treated him to a good meal, and gave them five cartloads of medicine to relieve the summer heat.

Magistrate Lin was extremely grateful.

He also visited County Magistrate Zhong, Commander Ling, Elder Qiong and Elder Xun, and met with various students and merchants... In short, he was extremely busy.

When they wanted to visit the Qin, Guan, and Jiang families, it got dark.

I had no choice but to give up. After finishing my meal, I was so exhausted that I fell into a deep sleep.

As for his family... well, since the start of preparations for the plague, the officials in each county had already sent their families to the capital city.

At most, each family would keep their eldest son by their side to put people at ease.

Besides the families of officials, wealthy families like the Jia family had also moved to the capital city for temporary residence long ago.

Therefore, only Jia Xiang, who was studying with Qiong Lao, was still in the ranks of the Jia family, while the other family members were already in the capital city.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Dangdang Dangdang!
"Wei Min of Baofu County and Linshan County, it's dawn! Get up quickly and prepare to set off!"

Early in the morning, the sound of gongs rang out again.

After that, the sound of the gong could be heard every day.

Manager Huang and others from Qihuang County also banged gongs and shouted, urging the people of Qihuang County to get up quickly and prepare to set off.

……

The further they went towards Dongmingfu, the more grateful Huang Nier and the other people from Qihuang County became that they had boarded a regular evacuation team from Baofu County.

After leaving Qihuang County, the next county is Zhaosheng County, and then the intersection of the main road is next to the main road.

After crossing this intersection, those in front of them and those behind them were all Wei civilians fleeing the war.

There were people from the eight counties of Tianmang Prefecture, as well as people from Maohua County and Dongling County of Dongming Prefecture.

The people of Maohua County and Dongling County were alright, they were just like beggars, but the deserters and disaster victims from various counties of Tianmang Prefecture had extremely fierce eyes. You could tell from their deep and wolf-like eyes that many of them had already seen blood on their hands.
