132 Chapter 132. Changing Faces Faster Than Turning The Pages of a Book “Hurry up, hurry up, you can’t stop within a five Li radius.”
The soldiers, who had been silent with cold faces, took out their weapons and began to drive the victims away. As long as someone came close, they would kill them.
The commoners were so scared that they quickly ran away. These officials changed their faces faster than turning the pages of a book.
Previously, when he was coaxing them to write the book of ten thousand people, he was affable and smiled like a spring breeze.
As a result, they immediately showed their ferocious side after writing the ten thousand people’s letter, but the people did not dare to say anything. If they were accused of breaking out a prisoner, they would be unable to clear their name even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
After driving the people away, the cooks started burying the pots and cooking. The cold-faced soldiers patrolled with knives in their hands.
The prison cart was parked in the middle. Qin Feng was beaten up and had been exposed to the sun for a day without giving him any water. His head drooped listlessly, and his messy white hair had scabbed over. His hair covered his face, and it was impossible to tell if he was awake or unconscious.
“Give him some water to drink.”
The General took the water bag and threw it to his subordinates. General Wan only said to torture Qin Feng’s body and mind, but he must leave him alive. He can only die after the Emperor announces his crime.
He sent someone over to peel Qin Feng’s hair and found that he was unconscious. He quickly returned to report.
“Wake him up with water. Do I need to teach you that? ”
The soldier took off his boots to let his feet relax. After hearing his subordinate’s report, he cursed in a huff.
“Yes.”
The officer promised to do it but was stopped by his superior, who said with ill intentions,
“Wait, use my foot-washing water.”
The soldiers from Li City all laughed. They liked to make fun of criminals in the county and were happy to see them tortured to a state worse than death.
As for the patrolling soldiers, they were all expressionless, as if they didn’t hear their banter. As long as they didn’t kill Qin Feng, they could insult him.
The Emperor’s teacher? Even the Jade Emperor was useless against the Prime Minister and the General.
The cook had to go to the river to get water. The two soldiers went together but didn’t have water to cook. The prank of the General couldn’t be carried out for the time being. He stepped on the ground barefoot and waited for his subordinates to return with water. After washing his feet, he would pour it on Qin Feng.
He was very proud. The Emperor’s teacher? You’ll still have to drink the water I wash my feet with.
The two soldiers who went to get water threw the buckets into the river. Suddenly, they smelled a fragrance, and their divine senses were dazed momentarily. However, it was only for a short while. They thought they had a heat stroke, so they lay down by the river and washed their faces. When they woke up, they carried the water back.
The General was still waiting for the water to wash his feet. When he saw them carrying two buckets of water, he ordered them to boil it for him to wash his feet quickly.
“I’ll cook first.”
The dark-faced officer, silent all this time, suddenly spoke. The General seemed very afraid of him and quickly sat up straight, not daring to order the two cooks to boil water and wash his feet.
The black-faced officer scooped a ladle of water and splashed it on old man Qin. The water droplets flowed down his white hair, and the blood-scabbed hair dripped with red water droplets.
The black-faced man didn’t care anymore after he poured the water and saw that old Qin was still alive. Old Qin raised his head weakly and looked up at the sky with wet hair. The sky dyed red by the setting sun was as glaring as blood. Old Qin stared at the sky as if he saw Ling’er and Xiao Heng in the red clouds.
‘Wait for me; I’ll come and find you immediately.’
Qin Feng closed his eyes and said to his goddaughter and son-in-law in his heart.
“What are you looking at, old man?”
The ginseng general was upset that he didn’t wash his feet with water. He looked at old Qin with a gloomy gaze. He also looked up when he realized that old Qin was looking at the sky after waking up.
“Damn, old man, are you afraid of death? You want to ask the heavens to save you?”
The ginseng general asked old Qin teasingly, but old Qin ignored him and continued to look at the burning clouds in the sky.
The General was even angrier when he saw that old Qin was ignoring him. He went over and whipped him. Old Qin gritted his teeth and endured the pain, not making a sound.
“It’s time to eat,”
The cook called out. Dinner was a big pot of porridge. Everyone had dry food in their bags. They broke the dry food into pieces and soaked it in the porridge.
Escorting prisoners was hard work. They could not eat and drink well. It was common to eat and sleep in the open. It was just that the person they were escorting today was not ordinary. They could only rest at the courier station when they passed by the city.
The people in charge of patrolling changed shifts to eat. Four expressionless officers stood guard in four directions, not letting down their guard though they were eating.
Someone brought a bowl of porridge to old Qin and only untied one of his hands, allowing him to eat while standing in the prison carriage.
How could old Qin swallow his grief and anger? He wanted to go on a hunger strike. Only when he died could the Emperor show a trace of pity and let his people go.
Seeing that old Qin refused to eat, the ginseng general put down his bowl and walked over. He spat into old Qin’s porridge bowl, grabbed old Qin’s hair, and tried to pour it into his mouth.
If the boiling hot congee were poured into his mouth, old Qin’s mouth would be scalded. This person was a vicious pervert.
Old Qin shut his lips tightly and struggled with all his might, refusing to eat the congee he had spat on.
“The old thing is quite stubborn.”
Seeing that he wasn’t willing to open his mouth, the General pinched his mouth. Suddenly, the bowl seemed to have been hit by something and shattered with a pa, burning him so badly that he jumped up in pain.
“Who’s there?”
The officer in charge of the security guards pulled out his knife and flew out. The people who were eating also dropped their bowls and picked up their weapons, protecting old Qin in the middle.
“Gulp.”
“Gulp.”
The soldiers who had just eaten fell one after another, leaving only the two officers who had not eaten and the General.
“Who is it? Who is it?”
The General held a steel knife in his hand and looked around in a different tone. He was extremely nervous. He hadn’t even seen the other party, and more than half of them had been taken down.
They didn’t need to be afraid of an actual robbery. The armored Army was waiting for them.
However, the other party had come in the dark. They didn’t know when they had been drugged. This was terrifying. Could they defeat them with only these few people left?
If he had known this escort mission was dangerous, he would have pretended to be sick and not come. The two armored soldiers looked around vigilantly and ordered the General,
“You, enter the prison carriage and watch over Qin Feng.”
The General looked at the prison cart and was about to cry. If he didn’t go in, he could still escape. But if he went in, he couldn’t even run.
However, he didn’t dare to say no. If he dared to say no, they would cut him down. The iron-armored Army killed without blinking.
The two officers chasing after them found that people were running in front of them. It was a waste for the armored soldiers to be the escorts. The General had them follow so that they could capture all the subordinates who were trying to save Qin Feng.
Therefore, they wouldn’t let this person go and kept chasing him.
After chasing for more than ten meters, they saw the person in front of them stop and turn around to look at them. It was a tall man with a full beard. From his build, he seemed to know martial arts.
“Who’s there?”
Ji Shuisheng pulled the rope tied to the tree, and a large net fell from the sky. The two ironclad soldiers shouted and raised their swords to slash. The two experienced ironclad soldiers raised their swords and cut open the large net to jump out.
On this side, Ji Shuisheng was fighting with two armored soldiers. The General took his knife and entered the prison cart, preparing to hold old Qin hostage.
