Chapter 996: Destruction in Southern Xinjiang?
Chapter 996: Destruction in Southern Xinjiang?
Li Qian knew the seriousness of the situation if something happened to the two of them.
Their mission was to safely deliver the two people to the city, and then their mission would be accomplished and they could return to the barracks.
After Li Qian's repeated tapping and the plaster given by Gu Yao, they really benefited from it and their knees did feel better.
Xiao Yi went out and bought some leather.
This was bought from a cloth shop with great money.
I found the owner of the inn and asked them to sew the knee pads as soon as possible.
Some of them were just observing, and no one dared to resist.
I obediently followed Xiao Yi's request and made the knee pads.
Li Qian felt a little embarrassed when he received it, but he still thanked Guiyang on behalf of his brothers.
"You should go to bed early. Our young lady has already gone to bed." Xiao Zhan stood outside the room where Gu Yao and Tiantian were resting like a door god.
Blocking anyone from approaching their lady's room.
"Okay then. I won't let anyone wake Miss Gu up early tomorrow morning. Let her sleep until she wakes up naturally. She may have to spend the next few days outside. She should have a good sleep tonight." Tonight, Li Qian received the benefits from Gu Yao and was too embarrassed to continue to bother her.
Xiao Zhen closed his eyes and ignored Li Qian.
He kept wearing a mask on his face to avoid having more in-depth contact with other people, and ignored Li Qian.
During this period, Li Qian was very dissatisfied with Xiao Zhen. Fortunately, Xiao Yi was there to mediate, which helped Xiao Zhen avoid a lot of trouble.

"Brothers, I saw it. The wagons behind them are definitely loaded with food. With food, why would we brothers worry about not having food to eat? When this winter is over and spring comes, we will be able to survive. We must do a good job on this mission. We must take away all the food."
"Brother, we will listen to you. We will get on whichever car you tell us to take things from."
"Will we be caught by the soldiers? Look, they all look ferocious and have swords in their hands. I'm a little scared, brother."
There were five people in their group, and the two people at the back were a little scared, staring blankly at the boss.
They were very hungry, but if they died here, they would not only die of starvation, but also be killed by someone else.
They wouldn't starve to death if they ate less for a while. If they were killed by someone, they would probably die tonight.
"If you three are scared, just get out of here right now. The second brother and I will go together. You want to eat but don't want to rob. You are such cowards." The eldest brother was so angry when he looked at the other brothers.
Who is he doing this for? Isn't it to let the brothers have lunch at noon? Don't let them freeze to death or starve to death in this winter.
"Brother, didn't you see that there are several soldiers guarding the carriage? They are on night duty."
"You don't know this, right? How many of those who can arrange night guard here are capable? Those who are capable have gone to bed long ago. When I saw those guys, I knocked them down easily. Second brother, you go and knock them down." The eldest brother had a serious face and looked at the second brother beside him seriously.
"Boss, why do you let me go first? Come with me, big brother." The second oldest brother had some skills, but he was still afraid to go down alone and fight against several soldiers.
He will have a chance of winning only if the boss goes with him.
"Brother, if you let the second brother go, won't that kill him? How about we go back? We won't starve to death even if we eat less at home. It will be fine by spring. Can you bear it a little longer?" The third brother was so cold that he had goose bumps all over his body, and the tattered cotton jacket on his body was leaking wind.
"You coward, if you want to get out, then get out. We agreed with our family to come and grab some food to take back. The New Year is coming soon. On New Year's Day, our whole family will have a full meal for the whole year. We haven't had a proper meal in the past six months. I've had enough." The eldest brother was lying on the wall, his voice was not loud and forbearing.
The third brother clenched his hands tightly. He encouraged himself secretly: "Brother, then I will go with you. The three of us will go together. The fourth and fifth brothers are still young. Let them keep watch here."
He was worried that something might happen to the three of them, so at least he had two left at home to take care of them.
"Okay, third brother, we'll do as you say. The three of us brothers will go together." The eldest brother stopped being pretentious, and the three of them crouched and walked into the backyard of the inn.
About entering the range of soldiers.
One of them became alert. Hearing the noise, he waved to his brothers and gave them instructions.
Xiao Zhen and Xiao Yi saw all of this.
They become alert immediately at the slightest movement.
Xiao Yi had been guarding in the corner. When something went wrong, he immediately called Xiao Zhen to watch together.
Fortunately, the four people keeping watch were not pustules.
After fighting for dozens of rounds, the man was quickly brought down.
Li Qian was also startled and saw the four people in the woodshed. His eyes were full of vigilance. He thought these people were coming for Miss Gu and Hu Li.
Do you want to force the two doctors to go to southern Xinjiang to fight the plague?
"Who are you three?" Li Qian said with a serious face. If he said the wrong thing, he would feel like chopping off his neck with a knife the next second.
"Sir, spare me. I just wanted to bring my brothers out to get something to eat. We are so hungry! We have no other choice. We are so hungry that we can't stand it anymore. I have to bring my brothers out to find something to eat. We didn't do it on purpose." The eldest brother Xi'an stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and crawled to Li Qian.
"Do you know who we are? Seeing how we're dressed, you still dare to come and rob us? Or do you have some other conspiracy?" There was no way for him not to think too much.
When he saw these people, he immediately thought of conspiracy theories.
Send someone to investigate the background of these three people.
Soon the two people hiding outside were also caught.
The brothers just came over to grab food because they were so hungry.
The five brothers look a bit alike, they are undoubtedly real brothers.
Soon the people below came to report.
Only then did Li Qian realize that the people in this town lived a fairly decent life, at least they could afford a meal a day.
"According to my investigation, you guys are living a pretty good life here and have enough to eat every day. But you turned out to be bandits. Even if I chop off the heads of all five of your brothers right now, you still deserve to die. Do you admit your guilt?"
Li Qian was so angry that he was sleeping soundly, but his sweet dream was ruined by these brainless people.
"Master, we can even see our reflections in the thin porridge we drink every day. We really can't survive anymore, so we come out to grab some food. Please, for the sake of our brothers and the whole family, please spare us!" The second brother burst into tears.
