Yi Xin as a concubine

Chapter 195 Goodbye Mo Xuan 1 Fan

"Big brother, I see you put away all the food. Is there someone waiting for you at home?"

"What do you want to do?" The boss immediately became alert, veins bulging on his arms, as if he was about to hit someone in the next second.

"Don't get excited. What can a little girl like me do? But seeing how miserable your lives are, I want to help you, but you misunderstand me." Seeing that the other party was becoming more and more vigilant, she began to change her strategy and pretended to be weak.

Her smiling face suddenly turned sad, with an expression that looked like she was about to cry but not cry. Chu Xingchen couldn't help but feel distressed even though he knew she was acting.

Although they have seen too many evil people and evil deeds over the years, they are still simple country men at heart. The sight of such a delicate little girl, who was about to cry in front of them, did arouse some sympathy in them, and everyone fell silent for a moment.

Xin Baoer pretended to cry while watching everyone's reactions out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that they finally stopped being aggressive and blindly treating them as bad people, she wiped away her non-existent tears and continued to speak hesitantly.

"I used to be the daughter of a wealthy merchant family. Although my family has fallen on hard times, my parents taught me to do more good deeds when I was young. When I get into trouble, people will be willing to help me. And the place we are going to now is a place where we can have enough food and clothes, a house to live in, and fields to farm. I want to take you there. How can you doubt me so much?"

Xin Baoer lowered her head, her long eyelashes hiding the calculation in her eyes. She looked pitiful, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Um, that little girl, is the place you are going to really that good?"

The air was silent for a long time, and then the boss asked in a rough and awkward voice.

Xin Baoer raised her head when she heard this, with an innocent smile in her eyes, "Are you willing to believe me now?"

Boss: "..."

"I knew that my father said good people will be rewarded. I am clearly doing good things, so why would I be questioned?"

"That place is not far away. Just across the forest, there are new food seeds with a short growth cycle and high yield. We can feed everyone."

Xin Baoer's voice is full of excitement and longing, making people unable to help but imagine along with her.

"Boss, it will take at least two days to get through this forest. Our family members are here. If we all leave, will they be in danger?" A slightly older man walked out from behind the boss and whispered to him.

The eldest brother was also a little embarrassed. On the one hand, he was moved by the place described by Xin Baoer, but on the other hand, he didn't dare to believe it easily. After all, they had traveled to many places and finally found a place to settle down like the current one.

Xin Baoer pulled Chu Xingchen's big hand, motioning him to speak.

Chu Xingchen was silent for a moment, but still said obediently: "We don't need so many guards. You can select a dozen strong men to go with us. When we get there, we can check to see if it is as my little girl said."

"Yes, yes, what you hear is not as good as what you see. If you don't believe what we say, go and see for yourself. If it is as good as I said, it won't be too late to come back and pick up your family!" Xin Baoer quickly advised while the iron was hot.

"You...let me discuss it with you for a while." The boss' heart was obviously softened, but he still spoke stubbornly.

"We have a smaller target, so it should be easier to move. Why do you want to bring them along?" Chu Xingchen asked.

"We're short of people!" Xin Baoer replied.

"Think about it, now that the old emperor is gone, the border guards are no longer under control. They were all brought up by the old emperor, so they follow his example. It is almost foreseeable what they will do next: they will enclose land, claim power, and expand their influence."

"After so long, the news of the old emperor's death should have spread. We have the northern region, Shengjing is under the control of General Zhennan, and the eastern and western regions should have already taken action. These are the forces we know about on the surface, and there are still countless forces lurking in the dark."

“No matter how many pieces this land is divided into in the future, as long as it wants to develop and grow, it cannot do without people. There are still too few people in the north. Even if there is a lot of land, what’s the use if there is no one to cultivate it?” Xin Baoer said this herself with some melancholy.

"Years of natural disasters and man-made calamities have indeed caused the population to drop by several percent." Chu Xingchen looked at those ragged people, sighed, and said with emotion.

"So, before those parties react, we must take the initiative and attract more people to settle in the North."

The little girl's confident look was so adorable that it made Chu Xingchen feel a little more relaxed from the heavy mood that had just risen up in his heart.

"Do you think they will be willing to go with us?" Xin Baoer looked at a group of people whispering for a long time without any result, and asked Chu Xingchen uncertainly.

"Yes." Chu Xingchen affirmed.

Sure enough, after a while, the boss came over with a dozen strong young men.

"We are the ones who will take you there, and they will stay and leave when they want."

Xin Baoer felt that this boss was something. Once he made a decision, he would do it without any hesitation.

"Let's go now. We are short of food and clothing. It's better to go out early so that we can fill our stomachs sooner." Xin Baoer said with a smile.

The team grew two times in size, and the chance of being exposed also increased exponentially. They encountered several waves of robbers along the way. They would hide if they could, and if they couldn't, they would trick them into joining. Those who couldn't be tricked were finally dealt with quietly by Wangchuan.

"How far is it?" Xin Baoer felt like her legs were no longer her own. The previous section of the road was uphill, and she was embarrassed to ask Chu Xingchen to carry her all the time. As a result, after only walking for half an hour, she could no longer lift her legs.

Chu Xingchen took out the map and looked at it, then pointed to a location and said to Xin Baoer, "We will be able to get out in half a day."

Xin Baoer wanted to cry but had no tears, and her face looked hopeless. She held her thighs with both hands and tried to lift them up, looking funny and amusing.

"No." The boss who was walking in front to lead the way suddenly stopped and said vigilantly.

Wangchuan and Wei Yu were still in a relaxed state a second ago, but they immediately became alert after hearing the words.

"Hehehe" an unpleasant laugh suddenly sounded in the woods, giving people who heard it goosebumps.

"You are quite alert, but it's a pity that you passed by my territory and wanted to leave without leaving anything behind. Aren't you looking down on me?" A careless yet threatening voice was getting closer and closer to the crowd.

With the appearance of this person, a lot of people suddenly gathered around him from all directions. At a rough glance, there were at least eighty or ninety people, if not a hundred.

"Who are you?" Wangchuan stepped forward and asked sternly.

"The one who wants your life, hand over all the food and valuables you have on you, and I will leave you with an intact body."

Just as the war was about to break out, at this critical moment, a nonchalant voice came from the treetops.

"A stray dog ​​still dares to act violently."

Hearing this, everyone looked up and saw a man in general's armor slowly descending.

"Cousin, sister-in-law, you are too slow. I have been waiting here for two days." As soon as Mo Xuan Yifan landed on the ground, he leaned against the tree trunk as if he had no bones, and said with disgust.

"You haven't cleaned it for two days. Do you want to start over?" Chu Xingchen said sarcastically. His voice was warm and soft, but Mo Xuan Yifan could hear a hint of chill in it.

"Yifan?" Xin Baoer called out uncertainly. The image of the man in front of her made her speechless.

His armor was gray, with dark patches and light patches. It was unknown how long it had been since he had changed it. His hair was messy with a few dead leaves stuck to it, and his beard was so big that he could have tied it into a long braid. If he hadn't spoken, Xin Baoer would not have recognized him.

"How long has it been since you cleaned yourself up?" Xin Baoer asked in a surprised tone, and then she pretended to be disgusted and took two steps back, away from the source of pollution.

Mo Xuan Yifan was really amused by the couple's identical expressions of disgust, but he didn't dare to vent his anger on his sister-in-law. He turned around and looked fiercely at the group of people surrounding them, then grinned and smiled sinisterly.

"Come on, pack up these bastards for me, and don't leave any of them alive."
