Divine Doctor Concubine

Chapter 385
sixth day.

Murong Jiujiu finally arrived at Dongyue, but what she really didn't expect was that this place, which she had been away for more than a month, could be regarded as her hometown, would become so devastated in the blink of an eye.

Although she knew that Dongyue had been at war, she never thought that it would become like this.

If it means that the snowstorm in the Li country is terrible, then Dongyue's recent situation will be even more serious. Because of the war, food in many places has been expropriated, and it is now a cold and bitter winter.

Many people were unable to live, and bandits were rampant, and they also took the opportunity to create chaos.

Buyers and sellers are everywhere.

At this moment, Murong Jiujiu and others had just entered a small town, when they were surrounded by several women with children at the entrance of the town, crying loudly: "My lord, you have come from a long way... Take my pair of girls Well, it’s okay to be a slave or a handmaiden, as long as you give them something to eat, I beg you, my lord, my lord..."

"Young master, look at my child. He is strong. Although he is a little small, he can do anything as long as he is given food...Young master, you can do it, my family has been unable to open the pot for several days."

A disheveled woman knelt on the ground, tightly holding on to the reins of Murong Jiujiu's horse, begging bitterly.

When Murong Jiujiu came out, for the convenience of walking, he and Axiu both changed into more convenient men's clothes, and they dressed like Jiang Hu people, so they called him son.

But it was the first time such a battle had happened.

I saw the children mentioned by the woman kneeling on the ground not far away, probably about six or seven years old, already pale and emaciated from hunger, wearing only thin coarse clothes in the winter, with dull eyes , and looked a little blankly at the group of nobles riding tall horses.

It seems that he hopes to be bought, but is afraid of being bought, his eyes are red.

Even though Murong Jiujiu had already cultivated a heart of stone in Mingli, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Axiu comforted: "Mother, don't worry, whenever there is a disaster or war in the world, Yecheng will go to various places to rescue these children who can't survive. If you have good aptitude, you can use it for Yecheng."

This is also the procedure for Yecheng to replace new blood time and time again. Judging from Axiu's occasional expressions, I am afraid that she and A Xing came here as well.

Murong nodded for a long time, she naturally understood what Axiu meant, they were on their way now, so it's not appropriate to do anything more.

"We don't want to accept maids, let's go away."

Over there, Ah Xing has already raised the long sword in his hand, trying to drive away these pleading women.

I saw a few sneaky men not far away, whispering something, and finally agreed on something, and with a wave of hand, a few more people rushed out from the other side of the town.

They all carried weapons in their hands, and their faces were full of viciousness, and they could tell that they were not good people at a glance.

"Ah, bandits..."

Several women who sold their children and sold their daughters were frightened and scattered.

"bandit?"

Murong Jiujiu has always known for the past few days that Dongyue caused bandits because of the military chaos, but he didn't want to meet him so soon, but look at the rough weapons these people are holding, including sickles.

You know it's not a professional bandit.

And when the bandit looked at Murong Jiujiu and others who were riding on the three horses, he also had a hint of timidity on his face, but he pretended to be vicious and said: "Leave the valuable things, and I will spare you all." Life."

Ah Xing smiled disdainfully: "If you put away your weapons, where they came from, and where you go obediently, I will save your lives."

"Don't talk nonsense with them, these few horses alone are enough for us to eat for several days..."

A disheveled, extremely thin man shouted suddenly, brandishing a sickle and rushed up first. From his green eyes, it was not difficult to guess that he had been hungry for several days.

Ah Xing saw that these bandits were really making a move, so he stopped being polite to them immediately, and was about to make a move.

However, among the crowd watching the excitement not far away, another voice suddenly erupted: "Qin Bing is here, Qin Bing is here..."

"What, run away..."

When the bandits heard that Qin Bing was coming, they seemed to be very frightened, turned their heads and ran away completely.

"Qin Bing?"

Murong sat on the horse for a long time, he didn't care about the escaped bandits, he raised his eyes and saw smoke and dust flying not far away, and several war horses rumbled towards them.

It is roughly estimated that there are more than a dozen people.

But in this kind of age, those who can ride horses when traveling should have high official positions in the army, and the Qin army, as the name suggests, is the army of the Qin Palace.

Murong Jiujiu was thinking about it, when he saw those war horses had stopped not far from them, a man in ordinary armor jumped off the horse first.

Although he was dressed like a military general, there was an air of elegance between his brows.

He stepped forward, first looked suspiciously at Murong Jiujiu and the other three who were also riding on the horse, but immediately made a statement and asked, "I don't know if you are a distinguished guest of Yuding Mountain?"

Murong was taken aback when he heard the words for a long time.

"Really."

She didn't deny it.

When the man heard this, his face was overjoyed, "Qin Yuan, in the Lower Qin Palace, has been looking for you nearby for a long time. Fortunately, God bless you, you finally came."

But Murong Jiujiu frowned, because he heard the voice behind Qin Yuan's words.

"Qin Yu's quality is not good?"

"Princess..." Qin Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still said vaguely: "The princess is not very good."

Hearing this, Murong Jiujiu's heart tightened inexplicably, "Take me to see her."

But before leaving, Murong looked back at the town for a long time, she was still poking around, the women and children were terrified, she ordered Ah Xing to take out all their dry food and send it over.

Looking at several children, seeing the food, they scrambled to eat it, and they looked like they were devouring it.

The melancholy on Murong Jiujiu's brows did not decrease, but increased a lot. As a doctor, even if she mastered the power of life, she could only save individual lives, but could not save the chaotic world in front of her.

"There are too many children like this, it's a pity that they can't come."

Qin Yuan whispered, although he was also full of pity, but it seemed that after staying in this place for a long time and seeing too much, he became numb a lot, but the war that caused all these chaos could not be stopped because of this.

This is also his greatest frustration.

"Let's go."

Murong Jiujiu remained indifferent.

A few tens of miles away from the small town is the Shuangfengling Camp, and Murong Jiujiu has been walking in this direction, and now Qin Yuzhi sent someone to pick them up, which saved them a lot of trouble.

After running for about half an hour, they finally arrived at the Shuangfengling Camp.

Compared with the scenes of war and chaos seen before, the military style here is much more rigorous, but there is also a murderous atmosphere everywhere, judging from the information learned along the way.

Although the Qin army occupied the ground in this rebellion, the situation was not as good as expected.
