Chapter 4371: Poor Mountains and Rivers Bring Out Unruly People

Normally I wouldn't feel it, but thinking about Xiaozhuang who didn't know whether he was alive or dead at this time, and thinking about the waiter, the child and Shui Yijun who were trapped in Maocheng, Qian'er was very anxious.

Unable to resolve her emotions, she punched the table, closed her eyes, and slowly exhaled.

Five knuckles were smashed and bleeding.

This heartbreaking pain calmed her down.

At this point, she was stuck in feelings of self-blame and regret, but it didn't help.

She tore off a piece of cloth, wrapped the wound on her back, took a sip of cold tea, tried to cheer herself up, and recalled the military books she had read, as well as the military formations of her uncle and her father. Methods.

She thought that if the young child and Shui Yijun were trapped in Mao City like Xiaoer, she would have to lead these five thousand people.

She must not be timid any longer.

The whole day passed in a relatively calm atmosphere.

In the evening, Xu Qing came back with injuries.

Of the twenty Imperial Guardsmen they brought, only seventeen came back, and half of them were wounded.

Qian'er was shocked.

This Xu Qing is a captain of thousands, ranking as a general of hussars. He has the highest position among the five thousand forbidden troops and is also the person with the best martial arts.

Qian'er first asked someone to distribute the wound medicine, and after Xu Qing had treated the wound, he called him over for questioning.

"Why did you start fighting with others?" she asked.

"I met a group of unruly people and had some conflicts." Xu Qing looked downcast, "It's strange that Taoists say that unruly people come out of poor mountains and harsh waters. This place in southern Xinjiang is really a ghost!"

Qian'er frowned: "General Xu, I only asked you to track down the murderer. How could you have a conflict with the local villagers?"

"Princess, my humble duty is indeed to track down the murderer. I found a town where a group of unscrupulous people guarded the door and refused to let us in. This is obviously a harbor. Maybe everyone in the town is an accomplice!"

"The whole town is an accomplice? Do you have any solid evidence?"

"I think..."

"What do you think?" Qian'er interrupted him, "General Xu, investigation requires evidence. In this situation, there are refugees, bandits, sick people, and rebels everywhere. These people unite, It’s understandable not to let people in.”

"But, someone saw those murderers entering the town with their own eyes!"

"I said, after you find the clues, don't act rashly. Come back to discuss with me first. Why did you start a fight with the villagers?"

"During the negotiation, some of my brothers couldn't hold back their tempers. They quarreled for a while, and then started fighting... This group of unruly people was quite fierce. I lost three more brothers. This hatred..."

Qian'er said angrily: "General Xu, you still think you are not wrong? Ordinary people, who dares to conflict with the officers? You must have done something excessive! You might as well bring it in!"

"Princess, I really didn't do anything in my humble position, just to get into the town. Those unruly people had a tough attitude, and the brothers couldn't hold back their temper for a moment..."

"Then let me ask you, how many villagers have you killed?"

Including Xu Qing, the twenty Imperial Guards brought with him all had some martial arts skills.

Not to mention wearing armor and carrying weapons.

Even they suffered serious casualties, so you can imagine the situation of the villagers.

After this Xu Qing came back, he only blamed the villagers and did not mention their injuries at all. Qian'er knew that the situation would not be serious.

Sure enough, Xu Qing hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "Only about twenty people were killed or injured..."
