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

Chapter 1392 Suspicion Takes Root

Chapter 1392 Suspicion Takes Root
The remaining half of the troops continued to watch as Dong Xin and his men finished reading the history books and maps.

After finishing, half of the troops will continue towards Daheng Prefecture to see what the situation is like there.
If there are still Wei people trapped in Daheng Prefecture, they must be escorted to the capital city.

"Chieftains and elders, take your people back. A military doctor will come to treat your wounds soon."

"Hey, hey, we'll go back and count the number of people right away. Thank you, Commander Qianhu, thank you, soldiers!" Chief Weng and the others finally calmed down after their anxiety.

"Mother, the Wei army has come to take care of us. We'll be able to go back to the city soon!" Li Wenhu told his mother the good news.

His mother wept with joy: "Good, good, good! My son is indeed a blessed man; his life is not meant to end here."

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Li Hui quickly interjected, "That's right. When our eldest son was just born, I closed a deal. I knew then that our eldest son was a lucky one."

"Pah! You unlucky dog, shut up! I'm talking to my son, what business is it of yours?!" Li Wenhu's mother had finally seen the light and declared directly to Li Hui, "From now on, my eldest son and his wife will be in charge of this household. You have nothing to do with it. If you're not happy about it, then you can go to Qingfang Prefecture to find your Xing'er. We don't need you!"

Li Hui was furious: "You wicked woman, you're inciting your son to be unfilial! I'm divorcing you!"

"You want to divorce me? Hahaha, then I'll kill you first!" Li Wenhu's mother went mad again, lunged at Li Hui, and with a thud, pulled the sharp arrow from his thigh and stabbed it into his body.

Unfortunately, she lacked the strength to pierce the clothes with the arrow, so she had to drop the arrow, grab Li Hui's hair, pull his head up, and slam it to the ground.

Bang bang bang! Li Hui wished he could travel back to the previous moment, slap himself a few times, and beg for mercy while enduring the excruciating pain: "I was wrong, wife, I was wrong... You're in charge, you're in charge, I'll do whatever you say, let go, stop smashing..."

Only when the military doctors arrived did Li Wenhu's mother let go.

The military doctors treated Li Hui according to the severity of his injuries, so they quickly stopped the bleeding, applied medicine and bandaged him, and then left him alone, saying only, "He won't die since his bones and arteries weren't damaged. After returning to the city, you can find a doctor to give him more thorough treatment."

After saying this, he ignored Li Hui's shouts, picked up his medicine box, and left.

Those who split up and treated the wounded had done so within 15 minutes. After the headcount was completed, Commander Zhen ordered, "Commander Tang and Commander Zhong, you are responsible for leading 900 soldiers to escort these Wei civilians back to the city... We also request that the capital city send troops to support and assist us. It seems that something has happened in Daheng Prefecture."

Commander Tang said, "We have cleared the road back to the city. We don't need 900 soldiers. 500 soldiers will suffice. You should have more men outside, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

Commander Zhen shook his head: "Nine hundred soldiers are not enough. On your way back to the city, you must set up the sentry posts, both visible and hidden, and the communication routes. We cannot allow the communication routes in this area to be cut off again."

Due to Gu Chengyong's deliberate actions, the changes in the capital city, and the enemy attack on Dongfu Town, the two gates of the capital city's government troops failed to take timely care of Daheng Prefecture, resulting in the elimination of sentries and the cutting off of communication routes along this route.

So now that they've come out, they have to finish these tasks.

“Commander Tang, let’s listen to Commander Zhen. They are more experienced.” Commander Zhong added, “Commander Zhen, how about I switch with you? I am quite capable and have better stamina, which is suitable for long-term field combat.”

Commander Zhen was furious: "You brat, you're calling me old!"

So what if I'm a generation older than you? Don't look down on us middle-aged folks.

Zhong Baihu hurriedly bowed and said, "This humble servant dares not, but the commander is more useful to the dynasty than I am, so I would like to ask you to return to the city."

Commander Zhen said, "We've heard of your abilities, so you have to accompany Commander Tang to escort Wei Min back to the city. Otherwise, if we encounter the enemy on the way, Commander Tang alone will be commanding the soldiers to fight, and we might lose."

Commander Tang: "..." He dared not speak. After all, he had only been promoted to commander not long ago. He was just an ordinary centurion. He was promoted because he was lucky enough to run into the century-old spy case and helped out.

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Baihu had no choice but to agree. However, he gave Zhen Qianhu a small box no bigger than the palm of his hand: "Qianhu Zhen, please take this. If the officials in Daheng Prefecture are disobedient, you can take it out and use it to control the officials and soldiers."

The relocation of Wei citizens was a risky undertaking, and civil officials, seeking stability, dared not venture out of the city unless it was besieged by an army of 100,000.

After all, if something went wrong, the first person to be beheaded would be the government official. "Oh my, there's such a good thing? Okay, I'll take it for now and return it to you when I get back to the city." Commander Zhen happily accepted it, and even tied it up carefully to prevent it from getting lost.

Boom boom boom!
"Wei army order: clan leaders and elders of all major surnames, lead the Wei people to assemble, conduct another headcount of the number of people in each surname and family, and prepare to depart!"

The messengers shouted orders at the镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) camp.

Taking advantage of this lull, Chief Weng led several clan elders to find Chief Escort Guan: "Take out the contract and burn it, otherwise we will go to Commander Zhen to plead our case."

Just when everyone thought a fight was about to break out, Chief Escort Guan immediately took out the contract scroll and gave it to Chief Weng and the others.

"Hurry up and check it. Once you've confirmed it's real, throw it into the campfire and burn it. Then everyone can pretend this never happened," Guan, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), urged.

Chief Weng and the others hurriedly sat down and, by the light of the campfire, examined the authenticity of the signatures and seals on the long contract.

“It’s true, it’s true… Burn it, burn it quickly, we can’t let our descendants suffer.” The clan elders said.

Chief Ke Weng wanted to take a gamble and took the contract to file a lawsuit.

Guan, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), had been watching him closely. Knowing martial arts, he quickly snatched the contract and threw it into the campfire.

Whoosh! The paper was swallowed by the campfire, and no matter how angry Chief Weng was, it was no use.

"What are you doing?!" Zhong Baihu asked, his eyes sharp as he stared at Guan Biaotou.

Guan, the head镖师, felt as if ice had been placed on his body, and his shoulders ached from the cold. He hurriedly said, "No, it's nothing... It was a contract for bodyguarding the villagers, but since the escort mission failed, the contract is invalid. After discussion, we burned it."

"We will return the deposits to the villagers."

Zhong Baihu chuckled silently, but didn't immediately break off relations, since he still needed these surviving bodyguards to do hard labor on the way back to the city.

Once we return to the city, we will punish them, confiscate their masters' property, and throw them onto the battlefield as shields.

Chief镖头: "..."

"Alright, gather everyone up quickly. You will continue to escort Wei Min back to the city." After giving his instructions, Commander Zhong rode away.

Before long, the team was fully integrated.

Boom boom boom!
"Fellow villagers, follow the Wei army flag and head back to the city! Take good care of your families and the wounded, and call the Wei army if you need anything; mind your own business, be a decent human being, and don't commit any crimes, otherwise the Wei army has the right to execute you on the spot during wartime!"

Good heavens, this is too brutal.

Many villagers were trembling with fear.

But many women, injured heads of households, and families with few men were relieved, no longer worried about being bullied on the road.

After Commander Tang and Commander Zhong escorted Wei Min back to the city, Commander Zhen led Commander Lü and several hundred soldiers to keep an eye on the enemy forces led by Dong Xin: "Watch carefully, and you can only leave after watching for a full hour!"

"You are not allowed to kill yourselves, otherwise we will announce that you have returned to the Great Wei, and the enemy army in the Eastern Desert will definitely not let your eastern region go!"

To prevent their families from being executed by other tribes in the Eastern Desert, Dong Xin and other soldiers from the east had no choice but to grit their teeth and study ancient history books and maps.

They were devastated and resistant, but the seeds of doubt had already taken root in their minds.
