Chapter 288
"Boss Huang, our Beggars' Sect is gone, wuwu..." When Elder Zheng saw Huang Rong recognized him, he immediately burst into tears.
"What's going on? How could the Beggars' Sect be gone? Where is Boss Lu Youjiao?" Huang Rong was shocked and asked quickly.
"When the Tartars broke through Xiangyang, they slaughtered people in the city. Gang Master Lu led his disciples to fight desperately, but the Tartars were numerous and powerful, and the brothers in the gang suffered heavy casualties. Finally, Gang Master Lu led us to break out of the siege and make a comeback in the future."
"When we went out of the city, Gang Master Lu sent his disciples to gather the scattered disciples outside, and also sent out invitations to heroes, inviting heroes in the martial arts world to gather and discuss countermeasures to retake Xiangyang. As a result, several villains sneaked in, they killed Elder Lu, stole the dog-beating stick, and forcibly occupied the Beggars' Gang."
"We old brothers were not convinced, and fought a big battle with them. Who knew that the other side was so powerful in martial arts, and our brothers died or were disabled, and no one came out intact." After saying that, Elder Zheng burst into tears again, which was really sad to hear and shed tears. It was too tragic.
"What are the names of those evil people? Where are they now?" Huang Rong's face was full of murderous intent. She tightened her palm and the gourd in her hand broke into pieces.
"They seem to be called Chen Youliang, Zhuang Juxian, oh, and there is another one called Yeluqi." Elder Zheng thought for a while and answered.
"The martial arts of Zhuang Juxian among them are particularly strange. His attacks are cold. Those who are hit by him will basically have their acupoints frozen and lose the ability to resist. Leader Lu was also accidentally slapped in the chest by him and died on the spot."
"Do you know where these people are now?" Huang Rong was so angry that her chest was heaving, and Elder Zheng and others were about to drop their eyes.
Huang Rong is now wearing a new five-row buttoned suit that Li Hao picked for her. It looks more majestic and upright.
Damn, this group of beggars, I will turn around and do them later. They are all like this, no wonder they were killed. Li Hao complained in his heart.
A group of healthy men who don't want to earn food through hard work, but only want to live a life of having everything provided for them. It is precisely because there are too many such people that the Beggars' Gang has become the largest gang in the world.
"Sir, the wealthy families nearby are unwilling to sell grain. Those who are willing to sell it are selling it at several times the price outside, which is just like robbing money." Yan Shun said viciously.
Damn, this group of profiteers is obviously robbing money! Moreover, what they are doing is worse than robbing, and if they rob money, they have to take risks.
When it comes to selling grain, they just shout out a number without any reason.
When he was a bandit, he worked hard and put his head on the belt, but he didn't get any money or food, and he had to bear the risk of being cleared out by the government and the heroes who came and went.
Unlike this group of guys, they are all dressed like dogs and eat with oil in their mouths. Holding the beautiful girl in his arms, listening to the little song and humming, a lot of money came in.
It is true that people will die if they compare themselves with others, and goods will be thrown away if they are compared with each other!
"Haha, what a bunch of people who don't know life and death. Which dynasty does this place belong to?" Li Hao said with a smile.
A group of fools who have fallen into the eyes of money, they don't know that they are about to die, and they are still dreaming of getting rich by relying on food, not knowing that the goods that will be destroyed are in front of them.
"The city of Xiangyang is in front of us. It used to be under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty. It was the frontier fortress of the Song Dynasty to resist the Tartars. Later, after the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty in a flash, this place became a no-man's land. Otherwise, how could Xiangyang not have reinforcements when the Tartars attacked the city last time." Huang Rong explained on the side.
"After Xiangyang was destroyed, it was looted countless times by the Tartars, resulting in a lack of resources in the city. The fields outside the city were also destroyed in this war, and there was no grain harvest this season."
"The farmers worked hard for half a year, but in the end they were back to the days before liberation. Without food, how can they survive in this cold winter?" As she spoke, Huang Rong became depressed.
If Guo Jing had not been so stubborn and went out of the city alone to meet his old lover at night, he would not have been surrounded by the army and finally died tragically under the Tartars' iron cavalry.
Although Huang Rong had no feelings for Guo Jing at that time, she still couldn't bear to leave the people of Xiangyang!
The people are the kindest. As long as you treat them well, they will never forget you.
"Don't be sad. Now that things have come to this, we can only do our best. Our territory is too far away from here, and we can't reach here. We can only send a letter back home to ask them to send some food to solve the urgent problem. After the country is unified, we can make long-term plans." Li Hao put his arm around Huang Rong's waist and comforted her.
This woman is a bitShe likes to think about things. If she suddenly thinks of the doubts about Guo Jing's death, she will probably keep investigating.
If he really finds out some things, it will be difficult for her to deal with it. After all, she did not make a detailed plan to get rid of Guo Jing at the beginning, and Huodu was the one who took care of it.
Moreover, when she ordered Huodu at the beginning, there were many people in the tent who knew about it. Once the wind was leaked, it would be difficult for her to deal with it.
"Sir, if it is just a food problem, we don't need to transport food here. Besides, when the Ming and Tang allied forces besieged Gusu Yanziwu, it caused great damage to the local economy and farming in Gusu."
"I guess the food at home is not enough now. If we transport another batch, I guess our own consumption will not be enough to guarantee it. When there is no food available, it will cause instability in the army." On the side, Qianqian, who was distributing dry food, heard Li Hao say that he wanted his family to transport food, and immediately persuaded him.
"Then what do you think we should do? We can't just let these disaster victims starve to death in this icy and snowy place!" Li Hao couldn't help but frowned.
He didn't want to care about these disaster victims, but when he saw Huang Rong's kind eyes, Li Hao softened his heart.
Besides, the baby in Xiaolongnu and Ning Zhongze's belly is not far from being born, and Xiaolongnu's due date is even earlier than Ning Zhongze's. Helping the disaster victims by yourself can be regarded as praying for the unborn child!
[Hey, shameless villain, don't you know how these disaster victims came from others? Don't you know it? Stop pretending here. ]
"What to do? Cold salad. There must be a lot of bandits and robbers around Xiangyang. If they kill these gentry who sell grain at high prices tonight, they will definitely get a large amount of grain." Wanwan said casually.
