That night, General Ye ordered the soldiers below to start packing up and preparing.Early the next morning, after breakfast, General Ye gave an order, and the border guards, numbering about 6,000 people, began to retreat to the rear.At the same time, several surrounding cities, under the leadership of the city lords, began to evacuate to the rear.A good homeland has to be thrown away like this, the evacuated people are all with bitter faces, some old people have to endure the pain of leaving their homeland, but even more tears in their eyes, some babies have not yet been weaned, but they have to endure the pain of bumps and displacement, crying non-stop.Li Zheng and Xia Ke followed the evacuation team, walking around, and everywhere they could see, there was a miserable scene, and the two of them were also embarrassed.However, there is no way.If you withdraw to the rear, you may not be able to adapt to life, and the conditions are not as good as before, but you can always live peacefully.If you stay here, when the Jingguo army arrives, will the Jingguo people treat them as their own people?
After following the team for a day, there were no accidents on the road, and in the evening, Li Zheng and the others came to bid farewell to General Ye.Retreating backwards, they are all the land of Nanshan Country, there should be no accidents, and there is no need for the two to follow.The two prepared to go back and continued to stare at the Jingguo army.…… The two of them rushed for an hour to a city where people were empty.If you want to eat, there is no one in the restaurant, but there are some ingredients left, but the two of them are not in the mood to do it, just eat a little dry food and drink two sips of water.Sleeping is a good solution, I don't know how many houses in the city are empty now, and I want to sleep wherever I want.There was no word for a night, and the next morning, the two continued to rush in the direction of the sea country.Along the way, no one saw or saw the Jingguo army, thinking that the Jingguo army had not yet entered Nanshan country.In the blink of an eye, I arrived at the border land, where there were many gathering places for traders from the two countries to trade goods, but now, with the evacuation of the people of several cities on the side of Nanshan Country, there are no people in the border land.After crossing the border, I soon arrived at Qinghe Town, the people of Qinghe Town also seemed to feel something, many people sold goods cheaply, ready to leave this place where there was no business opportunity, the street was full of shouting and selling, but it seemed more lively than usual.In addition to the vendors who were in a hurry to sell goods, there were also many men wearing standard clothes in the town, and Li Zheng and the others had explored the Jingguo army, and naturally saw at a glance that these people were Jingguo's soldiers.Since these soldiers appeared in the town, it means that the Jingguo army was stationed near Qinghe Town.Finally arrived at a populated place, the two found a restaurant to have a big meal, and then followed the pace of Jingguo's soldiers, and soon found the Jingguo army stationed not far from Qinghe Town.The two of them did not come close, but only looked at it from a distance, only to see hundreds of tents scattered in front of them, still like the scene they saw two times before, from time to time there were patrolling soldiers walking by, sometimes someone flew into the air, looking around, and at the same time there were soldiers constantly coming in and out.It was already noon, and the tent had not yet been removed, and it seemed that the army of Jingguo was going to rest here today and was not ready to continue the march.Li Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "This Si Zuo is cautious enough!"
”The movement of Jingguo's army has been determined, and the two of them did not delay much, returning to the small courtyard they rented in Qinghe Town before.When I pushed the door in, I saw an old man packing things on a trolley, and the things he was packing were some miscellaneous items that Li Zheng and Xia Ke bought disguised as small traders.Although these clutters are not important, they are not just something that anyone can move if they want to.Li Zheng stepped forward and grabbed the old man's arm: "Who are you?"
Why steal from us?
”The old man seemed to be a little sluggish, and it was only then that he realized that there were two more people in the courtyard.glanced at the two of them, and said slowly, "You are the little couple who rented this courtyard, right?"
The owner's house has moved out, and this yard is now mine.I'm going to pack up these things and save them for you first, so that you don't have to worry about missing things when you come back. ”"Oh, I see, thank you, uncle."
Li Zheng let go of the old man's arm in a daze.Now that the original owner has sold the yard, Li Zheng and the others can only find a place to live again.After walking around the town for half a circle, I heard that they were going to rent a house, and they all said that there were no vacant houses.Li Zheng was puzzled, so many people were going to move and evacuate, it was said that there should be a lot of vacant houses, why did they say that there were none.After being rejected again, Li Zheng finally got the hang of it: "Now that there are no business opportunities here, and there are troops stationed nearby, I am afraid that there will be war, in this case, many people in the town have moved, and the houses are also sold cheaply."
If you want to buy it, even if it's cheaper, if you want to rent it, sorry, no. ”The two soon stopped being entangled, and directly bought a small courtyard.…… The two of them lived in the small courtyard, and now they were panicking, and it was estimated that no one noticed their existence, and the two of them didn't bother to pretend to be vendors to set up stalls.Li was practicing how to control the innate qi in the courtyard, Xia Ke gave advice on the side, and a few small trees in the courtyard became the objects of practice.In the evening, the two took out more than ten minutes to visit the Jingguo Village again.After noticing that there was no movement over there, I came back and continued practicing.There was nothing to do that day, and after breakfast the next day, the two went to visit Jingguo Camp again, but there was still no movement in Jingguo Village, and the soldiers were all free to travel.After lunch, I went to explore, and after dinner, I went to explore, but there was still no movement in Jingguoying.Li Zheng and Xia Ke discussed for a while, but they didn't discuss any results, so they could only temporarily assume that Si Zuo had suffered a big loss in Beishan Kingdom, so he didn't dare to act rashly this time.Another day passed, and there was still no movement in Jingguoying.Li Zheng and the others were no longer content to go to Jingguo Camp to investigate, but expanded the scope of exploration.As soon as the scope was expanded, there was a new harvest.Every day, a large part of the soldiers who came out of the Jingguo camp went to Qinghe Town, but there were also a few people who turned west after going around Qinghe Town.These Jingguo spies came to the border of Nanshan Country, but they saw that the place where the border troops of Nanshan Country were stationed was empty.Further inside, to the neighboring city, it was still empty.Li Zheng couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Probably that's why Si Zuo didn't dare to move on, right?"
When they broke into the inner courtyard of the Royal Beast City in the Beishan Kingdom, they were also empty, and when they acted recklessly, a large army suddenly arrived and caught them off guard.Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and now Si Zuo is probably wondering where the Nanshan Kingdom ambushed people. ”It wasn't until the seventh day that the Jingguo army finally began to march forward, and to Li Zheng's laughter, they only marched two miles, and then stopped at the border between Nanshan and the sea country, and camped again.
