Chapter 85: Loss
Editor: Atlas Studios
Please continue reading on ΒOXΝVEL.ϹΟM .Including Mu Yangling, there were a total of 55 people. In the end, only nine survived.
When Mu Shi and his men found Liu Xuan and company, three of them were already on their last breaths. Having lost too much blood, Liu Xuan had already gone into shock. Mu Yangling looked at them and said emotionlessly, “Find a doctor for them. Whether they can survive or not will depend on fate.”
Liu Zhuang hugged Liu Xuan, his face filled with tears. “Since you’ve already endured until now, Ah Xuan, you must hang on and wake up.”
Qi Haoran admired them for being able to kill the Jin soldiers instead of escaping blindly. He waved at his subordinates and said, “Hurry up and find the military doctor. Get them some good medicine and put the expenses under my name.”
This time, 89 people from Nearhill Village died in the war disaster. However, after seeing the empty villages and county post-massacre, the people in Nearhill Village could only feel relieved.
As Qi Haoran could not accompany them, he only asked two soldiers to send the villagers to the prefectural capital. Along the way, there were constantly refugees joining in. By the time they reached the prefectural capital, there were already nearly 2,000 disaster-stricken people following behind the villagers of Nearhill Village.
With so many people suddenly rushing to Xingzhou Prefecture, the prefectural magistrate of Xingzhou, Wu Shancai, and the county magistrate of Shunzheng County, He Bao, hurriedly brought their men over.
Worried about letting so many refugees enter the city, Wu Shancai was about to close the city gate, but the four city gates were guarded by Qi Xiuyuan’s men. He could not command them at all.
Since the refugees were brought back by the soldiers of the West Camp, the soldiers guarding the city let them in without thinking.
Furious, Wu Shancai shouted, “What is Qi Xiuyuan trying to do? Is he trying to throw this place into a state of anarchy? With so many refugees surging in, how do we maintain security and enough food supply?”
He Bao glanced at him and cupped his hands. “Sir, I heard that General Qi is in the city. Why don’t we ask him?”
Wu Shancai choked. Last night, when the Hus suddenly attacked the city, he was instructed to close the south city gate and lock Qi Xiuyuan outside the city. At that time, Qi Xiuyuan dared to jump over the city gate and kill his way to his government office to drag him up Xingcheng Pass to face the Hus. He was only allowed to come down after the Hus retreated. After all that, how could he dare to provoke him?
Seeing that he had quietened down, He Bao stopped talking.
