Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

"Hurry up and grab them, they are all food!"

"Haha, it's food!!"

"They still have water on them!"

Suddenly, a frenzy of people poured into the convoy, disrupting its journey. Countless refugees, either crazy or at the peak of their powers, swept through the entire convoy like locusts.

"Princess! There are refugees attacking!"

Geng Hu came hurriedly, his face full of anxiety.

He looked at the princess with sharp eyes, filled with cold murderous intent.

He looked at her, as if asking for advice.

"Are they refugees?"

"It should be... I wonder how the county lord will deal with it!"

They were just some riots by refugees, which seemed to be very powerful but were in fact just for show and vulnerable to any attack.

For example, the guard team of mixed death warriors who have been trained can be easily dealt with by the previous guard team with a little effort.

But how to solve the problem depends on the princess' attitude. Judging from her behavior, she has sympathy for these refugees and is a humble gentleman with a kind heart.

In this situation, the attitude of the princess will determine the follow-up. If the princess is kind-hearted and cannot bear to hurt the refugees, then the guards can drive away the refugees, but they will be limited in their actions. Casualties are inevitable, and there will be some troubles in the future...

Geng Hu didn't say these, but his eyes speak volumes, and Keqing understood what he meant.

"Treat them as a mob, don't hold back."

Keqing expressed her attitude.

Even she knew that at this time she had to take a harsh attitude towards the refugees, so as to deter them and prevent them from rioting again.

They may be pitiful, but since they committed robbery, they are thugs, no matter what the reason is.

"Yes! Princess!"

Geng Hu's face lit up with joy, but then he frowned and rushed to the center of the riot despite his illness.

No matter how many refugees there were, what could they do? With swift and resolute actions, they killed the leaders one by one with their swords raised and fell in an instant, especially those who hid behind, instigated, and took the lead. They were all killed one by one.

As a martial artist, Geng Hu had experienced a lot in the secular world and had seen many people's looks. He could tell at a glance that this incitement was purposeful. There were a few individuals hiding behind the scenes, bewitching those ignorant refugees who were lost in desire to rush forward.

Although these people seemed to be dressed in rags, their complexions were much better than those of the refugees, and you could tell there was something different about them at first glance.

Under normal circumstances, he would have arrested these people and interrogated them one by one. However, the situation was chaotic at this time. In order to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and stabilize the situation, he had to suppress it with thundering force. He did not hesitate and quickly killed those instigators.

They still wanted to resist, but although their little Kung Fu skills were good compared to ordinary people, they were still far from enough for him. In addition, they were fully equipped and aggressive, so they died in just a moment.

"Who else!"

With a swing of the knife, another head flew out. Geng Hu was riding on the horse, his body covered in blood and his face full of murderous intent, like a god of death coming down from hell.

The dead head with its eyes open was scattered all over the ground, and the terrible soldiers behind him also chopped off the head with their swords like him.

Such a clean and neat method and such a bloody scene were too much for the refugees who had only seen fighting and bleeding scalps to bear. They started to flee in a short moment.

"Kill! Kill!"

"Quick, run!"

Fear spread from the bottom of their hearts. The refugees did not even bother to grab food, they just ran away crying!

They wanted to live, so they were instigated to steal food. However, now they still wanted to live and did not want to die, so they ran faster.

Fear is contagious. If one person becomes two, then there will be two. In addition, Geng Hu and his soldiers will show no mercy.

It was clear who touched the food and who took advantage of the situation. In just a moment, the area around the convoy was filled with broken corpses, some of which were headless, half of their bodies, or legs.

Because he felt sorry for them, Geng Hu killed them with one strike and did not let them suffer the pain of injury, but that was the only mercy he showed.

Watching the refugees leave, he dismounted swiftly and began to care about the injuries of the soldiers guarding the grain.

"How are you doing?"

He asked with concern, and the accompanying military doctor came quickly and shook his head after some examination.

"These two are beyond saving, and the other three are seriously injured and need to rest well..."

Hearing what the doctor said, Geng Hu's eyes darkened and he looked at the soldiers with a heavy tone.

"Bury it properly..."

Chapter 556 Discovery (6 more)

The refugees led by Qizhou also saw these riots. He had long discovered that the refugees seemed to be instigated by someone. Before they could react, the riots broke out and they had no time to react.

When they reacted, they saw dozens of headless corpses lying on the ground on the battlefield, and Geng Hu's efficient means brought the rioting refugees to an abrupt end.

Seeing the situation of those refugees, the people in the team were still frightened.

"Aren't these people from that small mountain village? They talked to me a few mornings ago and asked me how much food was in my benefactor's convoy."

Looking from afar, someone spotted a familiar face.

"you said so?"

Qizhou asked with a frown.

"No, no, didn't you tell me, Mr. Qi? Don't trust those outsiders, and don't leak the news. Of course I didn't say it."

"Yes, some people even said they wanted us to join them, saying that we would have the opportunity to get a lot of food. Now it seems that they actually want to steal the food from our benefactor."

"So, they showed some signs before, luckily Mr. Xiucai told us to ignore them!"

Everyone was still frightened, followed by anger and rebuke.

"What a filthy bunch! They actually attacked my benefactor! What bad luck!"

"Humph, you deserve this!"

Everyone was talking about it, and their pace and attitude were the same. Seeing this, Qizhou nodded with satisfaction.

Zhenniang and others who had joined them early breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the scene.

"It seems that this leader is a good one. He is not like those other refugees."

"yes……"

In fact, someone also invited Zhenniang and himself, but he refused without a second thought. He was old and weak, so why should he take the risk to steal food? Could they think of that noble person?

It would be better to follow quietly, with a noble person leading the way, and not be afraid of those robbers and refugees. They have heard that these refugees were rescued from the mouths of those cannibals by the noble person in the caravan.

They are such kind-hearted people, why would you think of stealing their food? You are so heartless! Even if you were almost starving to death, wouldn’t you ask for help?

The old man shook his head.

"Zhen Niang, you can't be like those refugees outside! I would rather starve to death than let you take risks! My Dalang has already let you down, I can't let you down again."

"Dad, what are you talking about? Am I that stupid!?"

Zhenniang rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, my husband died early. As the saying goes, father resembles son. You will definitely die early too. Why should I worry about that?"

"If you die! I will remarry immediately! I won't serve you anymore!"

Hearing his daughter-in-law's disrespectful words, the old man did not get angry but instead chuckled.

"Just remarry. It's good to remarry. Find a good man."

"You old man, you have no shame! You only know how to persuade your daughter-in-law to remarry! Your son is so unlucky to have a father like you."

The two men were talking to each other, but their eyes couldn't help but look ahead. They saw that the noble convoy ahead of them just packed up and buried the bodies, and did not vent their anger on them, and allowed them to follow. They felt much more relieved and more at ease about the journey ahead.

It seems that what these people said is right, they do have connections with those teams.

Didn't they see that other refugee groups were far away, but they were not driven away even though they were only a few dozen feet away? With such a powerful force, they could definitely deter those with bad intentions around them, and the road ahead would be much easier.

On the other hand, Qizhou felt relieved when he saw that everyone was honest and obedient and had no bad intentions. However, when he thought of those instigators, he thought about it and went towards the convoy where Keqing was.

"Princess, it's been resolved, but two people were seriously injured and died... The others were slightly injured, so they just need to take good care of themselves."

As Geng Hu reported, Keqing nodded.

Death is inevitable, I believe Geng Hu will be buried properly.

These soldiers of his have no families, so even if he wants to give them some relief money, he doesn't know who to give it to.

"The injured...if you need anything, just call for it."

"Yes, I understand, Princess."

After receiving the instructions, Keqing suddenly thought of something.

"The team's vigilance is too low right now. I believe that after this incident, others should be more vigilant. Next, you should make good arrangements and try not to let something like this happen again."

"And...is this incident unusual? The refugees' riot came too suddenly."

"Yes, there is something wrong. I found a few people in the dark who are fanning the flames. They seem to be

It seems that they have some purpose, disguised as refugees, and no one knows where they come from. "

"But in order to make an example of him, I didn't think too much and just killed him. I hope the princess will forgive me."

Keqing thought for a moment:

"That's nothing. You also want to curb the riot as soon as possible. Since someone is secretly instigating it, they will definitely take action again if it fails this time. It won't be too late to talk about it then."

"Since they are using this method, I'm afraid the other party's strength is not that great, so there's no need to worry."

"Don't worry, I'm here."

After hearing what the princess said, Geng Hu wanted to say something, but when he heard the last sentence, the worries in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Well, what is there to be afraid of with the princess around?

"My Lord, someone wants to see you."

"who is it?"

"Someone wants to see the princess?"

Geng Hu raised his eyebrows. Since he was asking for a meeting, he should not be from the convoy.

Yun Ling said: "It was the scholar you saved before."

Keqing thought about it and realized who it was. There was only one scholar in the group of people. She wondered why the other party came to see her.

"Let him in."

"Yes……"

As Yunling left, a thin figure soon walked in. It was the young scholar named Qizhou.

Although he looked much better now than before, with his hair standing up, his face slightly yellow but with a sense of efficiency, his eyes were bright and sparkling.

When he saw Keqing, Qizhou's eyes lit up and he took a big step forward and bowed.

"Greetings, Your Excellency..."

"No need to be polite, what do you want to do?"

The moment she saw Qizhou, Keqing knew who was the person in charge of those refugees recently. Since he came to see her, could he also be related to the refugees? Did he discover something?

Qizhou didn't waste any time but got straight to the point.

"The day before yesterday, I discovered that someone was inciting refugees to try to rob your convoy with ill intentions."

"The day before yesterday?"

Seeing Geng Hu coming, Qizhou nodded.

"To be precise, there were signs of this three days ago. The day before yesterday, someone secretly wanted to use our people to cooperate with them and wanted to get information about the princess's convoy from us."

"But the princess saved us, how can we repay kindness with hatred? How can we do such a disloyal and unjust thing? That's why we were rejected by everyone!"

Chapter 557 Taking the bait (7 update)

Hearing his words of loyalty, Keqing blinked and said nothing, while Geng Hu beside her also smiled.

Qizhou smiled awkwardly. What happened before...it was indeed a bit ridiculous for him to say that.

But he was serious about this.

"continue."
