Chapter 354: Wandering in rebel territory
It is close to Moding County.
There were very few people walking on the official road, not even a refugee was seen.
Such a situation is very abnormal.
At the intersection ahead, a checkpoint has been set up.
There are several common people carrying things and they are being interrogated by the rebel soldiers. They will only be able to pass if there are no problems.
When Dawa approached in a carriage, rebel soldiers stopped him.
Whos approaching? a soldier shouted sharply.
Dawa said: "Sir, my young master heard that there is a war here and came here to gain experience."
The soldiers who heard this looked at each other in shock.
This reason is very fresh and refined, and it is the first time they have heard it.
One of the soldiers laughed and said, "It can't be a meticulous work."
Da Wa waved her little hands repeatedly, "No, no, I really came here to gain experience. My young master is still a child."
The soldier questioned: "Your accent sounds like a local."
The younger one is from Shanghe Village, Linshui County, and has a household registration. The eldest child searched in his arms and found out the household registrations of himself and his younger brother.
The soldier checked it again and found it was true.
Da Wa is very good at getting things done. When he gave her his household registration, he secretly stuffed a piece of silver in his hand.
The soldier put it away without leaving a trace, and then pretended to lift the curtain to check. He found that there was a beautiful young man with his legs crossed in the carriage, and he was eating melon seeds. The young master took the melon seed shells.
A very arrogant rich man.
Those who are confident will not be afraid of heaven or earth.
Its not like a wealthy family would be able to raise a child like this. His ability to commit suicide is also very good, and he even went to a dangerous place to watch the excitement.
The soldier cautiously asked Da Wa, "Where is your young master from?"
"My young master..." Da Wa couldn't answer, and he didn't know either.
Du Wan spat out the melon seed skin and said angrily: "Why are you asking this? Are you tired of living because you are irritating me and delaying my schedule?"
Sorry, Ill let you go now.
Soldiers are from civilian backgrounds and have been in awe of the powerful since childhood.
No suspicious ones were found, and the soldiers quickly let them go.
Du Wan was surprised to be able to pass the test so smoothly.
Du Wan soon knew what the problem was.
The soldier whispered to the people around him, "Go and report to Mr. Lu quickly. He said that a powerful young man has come from Moding County. He is about thirteen or fourteen years old. He has fine skin and tender flesh. He says he is here to travel."
How did you know you were a powerful young man?
"Go! This is not easy. The sword on the young master's waist is better than the one on the leader's body. Can ordinary people get it?"
The man responded and quickly went to report the situation.
Du Wan suddenly felt that the melon seeds were no longer fragrant, and thoughtfully touched the ring-headed sword on his waist.
In fact, the rebels would not lose anything if they were released.
A powerful young master, so what if he has a background? When it comes to their territory, shouldnt they have the final say? The deeper the background, the greater the value of utilization, and you can use it as a bargaining chip at critical moments.
Understand! Du Wan understands very well.
In the eyes of others, she is just a fat sheep that comes to their doorstep.
The carriage passed the checkpoint, and after walking a little further, you saw the city wall.
There is another level here.
Under the city wall, many refugees are building fortifications and establishing some war defense lines.
Du Wan finally understood why he hadnt seen any refugees before. They were probably all caught working here. All of them were in ragged clothes and as skinny as wood. Most of them staggered as they walked, as if they would fall to the ground at any time. Before coming to the southwest, she imagined that the people on the border would not have it easy, and seeing it with her own eyes made her feel even more deeply.
Not feeling well, feeling blocked.
But, she can't do anything now.
Handlessly helping will only be a disservice.
Because she currently does not have the ability to resettle a large number of refugees. The key is that there is no food. Du Wan murmured in a low voice: "It seems that the rebels have no intention of attacking Linshui County."
But everyone said they wanted to fight. Erwa said in a childish voice, with a confused face.
Its not time to fight now. The imperial army is coming, and they are preparing to fight.
Oh oh. He didnt understand, but he could respond.
Du Wan gave the little kid a magical look.
This guy looks silly on the surface, but he is actually very sensible.
When things here are over, it is not impossible if they are willing to return to the capital with her.
Encountering a checkpoint, Huayinzi passed it again.
After successfully sneaking in, Da Wa felt extremely distressed and said, "Sir, it cost me ten taels of silver."
Du Wancai said graciously: "Well, don't worry, your young master is not short of money."
The streets in the county are very depressed and all the shops are closed.
There were a few pedestrians here and there, all in a hurry.
Stains of dried blood can still be seen in some corners of the street.
Du Wan said: "Big boy, let's find an inn first."
Sir, are there any inns that dare to open their doors for business now? Dawa asked worriedly.
I know. When you see an inn, knock on the door. If someone opens the door, say youre staying in the inn. If no one opens the door, go to the next one.
Okay, sir.
Da Wa did as Du Wan said.
I took pictures of the doors of three inns, and one of them was actually open.
Hearing that they wanted to stay in a hotel, the shopkeeper saw that the children were only three and a half years old. He hesitated and agreed, but he only provided accommodation and hot water, but no food.
The shopkeeper is a kind person. He doesn't charge high prices and doesn't rip off customers.
Da Wa originally wanted an upper room and an ordinary room.
As a result, Du Wan directly spoke out and asked for two upper rooms next to each other.
Du Wan doesn't care about this little money.
On the contrary, I was worried that I would be too far away and would not be able to take care of the brothers if something happened at night.
Wait until the placement is complete.
Du Wan looked at the sun outside.
It is exactly noon.
Du Wan had eaten the dry food and said, "Don't wander around. I'm going out for a walk."
Sir, the younger one will follow you. The eldest son stood up quickly and said.
"No, I'm just going for a walk and will be back soon. You two stay at the inn to rest. If...I mean if someone comes to you to try to trick you, you should tell the truth. We are aboveboard people, so come out and do it. There is nothing shameful about being chivalrous." Du Wan's eyebrows were flying, and she felt full of middle-aged youth.
The two little ones nodded solemnly and looked at Du Wan with admiring eyes.
Du Wan finished explaining and went out carelessly.
Wandering around the county town without covering up his whereabouts at all.
It was useless to have someone watching her.
When others ask for information, they have to find someone to ask.
She doesnt need anything, just a walk outside.
If you can't go around once, you can go around twice and you will definitely hear a lot of gossip.
While strolling around, people came to the vicinity of the county government office.
Du Wan removed the useless gossip and left some useful information.
First, the rebel leader Qiao is not in Moding County.
Second, the rebels are recharging their strength and are seizing two neighboring counties in order to plunder grain, grass and supplies.
Third, Moding County now claims to have 100,000 rebels. The leader is a man named He Liang. He captured some refugees and urgently built fortifications. It is said that he wanted to stop the imperial army outside Moding County.
