Chapter 318: Besieged on All Sides
Because Qin Shu brought in reinforcements, the war ended faster than ever before. 【】
Qin Shu left the general's mansion and was thinking about the token all the way.
She was caught off guard and bumped into someone. She looked up and found that it was a child.
Compared with her, the person in front of her was a real child, who looked only six or seven years old.
"Sir, please forgive me! I didn't mean to bump into you." As he spoke, he knelt down.
Qin Shu calmly took a step back and said, "It doesn't matter."
The child raised his head and glanced at her eyes, then quietly stood up and planned to run away.
Qin Shu didn't stop him, but followed him after he left.
How could a little kid escape her tracking?
What's more, she still has spiritual energy around her during non-war times. 🄲
After following this child, he walked around for a long time, and finally came to a dilapidated house.
It's said to be a house, but it actually looks more like a shack.
"Grandma, now that I have money, I can treat you!"
He took out the golden token and showed it to his grandmother. The old man glanced at it and scolded him to give the token back.
But the child was not happy. He said bluntly: "Grandma, my grandson has to treat your illness! If this thing cannot be used to save people, it is just a dead thing!"
"You little brat...ahem...grandma knows you are a good boy, alas..."
While the old man was talking, Qin Shu came out of the darkness and said, "Old man, he is right, if it cannot save people, no matter how good it is, it is just a dead thing.
The old woman stood upright with one hand on the bed and looked at Qin Shu with a confused look on her face: "You... who are you?"
Qin Shu knew that these people were real people, and she could not treat them as illusions.
She raised her eyes and met the old woman's chaotic eyes, and smiled softly, "I am the owner of that token."
She cut off a piece from the red gold token and gave it to the seriously ill old woman before she left the place.
The kid chased out from behind her and shouted at Qin Shu, "Why did you help me?"
Qin Shu stopped and did not look back. She only looked at the half-obscured afterimage at the city wall and said softly: "We are protecting our country so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. If the people cannot live in peace, the country will not be able to survive, and the family will not be able to survive." If you don't have a family, why bother guarding this city?"
When she said this, there was no concealment. Not only the child who stole her token, but also everyone else heard it.
She raised her feet to leave, but another person rushed out, knelt in front of Qin Shu and kowtowed, "Sir, please save our family. There are eight people in my family, including seniors and young ones. Now I can't even buy them back with two taels of silver." A bucket of rice is too much for the family to open. "
This person seemed to have started, and the others knelt down in front of Qin Shu one after another. Qin Shu originally wanted to take out the food in the storage ring and share it with them.
But for some reason, they couldn't see anything that didn't seem to be from this world.
In the end, Qin Shu could only throw away the token in her hand and told them, "You can take it and share it.
Seeing them crying with joy, Qin Shu thought for a while and then said: "The war will end. If you stick to it, one day there will be a day."
Qin Shu watched them kowtow to her, feeling a little ashamed of herself, and left the place in a flash.
She is not a god and cannot save someone by raising her hand.
She came to the city wall, found a deserted place, and then quietly contacted the mercenaries she hired at a high price.
【Where are you all? 】
【desert. 】
【I'm in the oasis. 】
[I don’t know where it is. It seems that there is a lake above me, or it may be the sea. 】
【Crater. 】
【On the battlefield! 】
…
Everyone was in a different scene. Of the sixty-two people she hired, only four were on the battlefield with her, and she didn't know if they were on the same battlefield as her.
She thought for a while and then asked: [Did anyone get any useful information? Do you know how to get out of trouble? 】
【Escape? Aren't you hunting for treasure at the bottom of the lake? What else do you need to get out of? 】
[Yeah... I always thought there was treasure hidden in the crater...]
Qin Shu: [……]
Did she really hire a few idiots at such a high price without even realizing that she was trapped?
For a moment, Qin Shu had no intention of continuing the conversation. It seemed that everything had to be done by herself.
She always felt that neither the token nor the people who shared the gold appeared out of thin air. There must be some other arrangement, and they might be the key to getting out of trouble.
But... she hasn't thought of the specific connection.
One night passed, and Qin Shu woke up from her trance.
She discovered that even in the secret realm, she could still rely on moonlight to practice.
She stood up and stretched her body. She had just stretched her arms halfway when she heard the familiar horn sound again.
The general did not know when he appeared on the city wall and waved his hand, "Get ready to fight!"
Qin Shu drew her iron sword again, but this time, she suddenly found that there were many people behind her.
Upon closer inspection, they were the same people she rescued yesterday.
Seeing her looking over, one of them immediately raised his arms and shouted, "We are with the generals! Guard our home together!"
Qin Shu looked at them, including men and women, with a happy smile on her face.
She herself didn't know how long this battle to defend the city would last. It wouldn't just drag on year after year, would it?
As she pondered, she stood on the battlement of the city wall like an emotionless puppet, driving down those who were about to climb up one by one.
At this moment, Qin Shu suddenly found that there was music behind her.
She glanced at it with her peripheral vision and saw three young prostitutes sitting cross-legged on the ground with a zither on their knees.
The melodious music formed a sharp contrast with the battlefield full of shouts and killings, and no one stopped them.
Qin Shu didn't know if it was her illusion, but the fighting spirit of these soldiers seemed to have really decreased a lot.
Qin Shu suddenly remembered the story of the besieged army. Could it be that... this zither sound had this effect?
Not only Qin Shu discovered this, but the general also discovered it.
They had been in an advantageous position for three consecutive days. Now that the enemy's morale was unstable, it was a good time to attack.
After several rounds of crazy arrows, he ordered the city gate to be opened.
"Kill!"
Looking at the soldiers rushing out, Qin Shu suddenly had an idea in her mind.
It turned out that they were passive whether defending or attacking the city.
But now they have turned passive into active, and the battlefield is gradually led by them.
Qin Shu was thinking, and the sound of drums and music sounded behind her, and the people sang war songs.
At this moment, she was willing to believe that everyone was connected and stood together.
She smiled suddenly, picked up the sword and chased after him without looking back.
Tie Niu was still shouting behind him, "Junior brother! Wait for me!"
