Chapter 315 Counterattack against the Rogue Bandits
"Don't worry, our visit this time is different from previous officials."
Ye Qingran stood up and said, "There is indeed nothing we can do about the disaster, but we will never let you starve. As for the plague, I can promise to cure it and develop a preventive potion."
Chu Qingyun nodded: "As for the rogue bandits, I will lead you to fight against them. These rogue bandits see that you have suffered a disaster and are unable to resist, so they dare to be so arrogant. As long as they are completely defeated once, so that they cannot get any benefits, they will not come again. ”
The woman was stunned for a moment: "But there are only two of you."
They did not have the manpower or food to provide relief, nor did they bring doctors or medicinal materials. They did not even have the men and horses that the officials had brought with them in the past. The words they just said seemed to be empty words.
Ye Qingran knew her worries and said bluntly: "The two of us rushed over quickly to check on the situation. The support people are behind us. It will take about five or six days to arrive."
"So that's the case, but are you really sure?"
The woman knew that they meant well, but the more this happened, the less she wanted them to risk their lives.
Chu Qingyun also stood up and patted his chest and promised: "We will do what we say, so there is no need to worry."
"Okay, then it's up to you."
After understanding the current situation in the north, the two made do with each other in the house all night. When they woke up the next day, they shouted directly nearby to inform other people that the court's disaster relief food was coming soon.
But these people still refused to come out.
The woman watched them working at the door and didn't know how to help.
Soon, Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun realized that this method didn't work, so they borrowed the pot from the woman's house and started cooking directly in the open space, and then asked the woman to help deliver it to the homes of nearby people.
These people may not believe their words, but the woman is one of their own, so they still believe her to a certain extent.
Soon, many people came out after smelling the smell. Only when they saw that food was actually being distributed, they were willing to come and line up to receive food.
In fact, not even a grain of rice is left at home, but in this case, one meal is one meal and one meal is missing. Naturally, they have to save food at home.
Ye Qingran was not in a hurry to explain his purpose to them. Instead, he waited until everyone who came to receive the food was satisfied before saying, "Listen, everyone, this is the last time the imperial court will send people to provide disaster relief. This time, everyone will be fed." Food, cure the disease, and we will deal with those bandits so that they will never come back again.”
After she said these words, the people around her didn't seem to listen at all.
After a long silence, someone finally spoke: "Every time the people come here, they promise so, but they end up dead without any body parts, and they also make our life even more miserable."
Chu Qingyun took a step forward: "This is really our last time. If we can't deal with it all at once this time, how about it not affecting your way of living in the future, or arranging for everyone to move to a safe place?"
Still no one answered.
It is impossible to maintain the original way of life. Those bandits already know that the officials sent by the imperial court are idiots and cannot achieve anything. In the future, they will only intensify their efforts to squeeze the people in the north without any relief.
Furthermore, they have thought about relocation, but no place can accommodate so many people, and the food they have is not enough to support them to say goodbye and find a place to live. Even if there is disaster relief food, it is still far from enough.
Chu Qingyun has not seriously thought about these things, because he is confident that he can solve all the problems so that these people can continue to live here with peace of mind, without having to worry about disasters, illness, or wandering enemy troops.
But this was just his own idea, and the people did not believe it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now, but we will prove it to you soon."
After Chu Qingyun said these words, the people dispersed.
That afternoon, there were rogue bandits coming all the way from the east.
Before they saw the bandits robbing the people's things, they never thought that there could be so many bandits in the district.
But if you think about it carefully, there are also some who voluntarily joined them after they could no longer survive. After accumulating over the years, it is not surprising that there are such a number of people.
The doors and windows of the common people were tightly closed, but the swords in the hands of the bandits were not just decorations. Many people's doors and windows had been hacked and kicked to pieces, unable to stop anyone.
Suddenly, shouts and begging for mercy came from all directions, and Chu Qingyun and Ye Qingran immediately went out separately.
After the two separated, they both went in the opposite direction of each other. Chu Qingyun shouted loudly, trying to gather the men first.
But they had been oppressed by the bandits for so long that they had no idea of resistance.
It wasn't until Chu Qingyun alone knocked down dozens of bandits with swords in their hands that they gained some courage.
Chu Qingyun picked up the sword on the ground, killed several bandits directly, and shouted: "All the men who can move, come back with me and drive them all away! Think about your families, your wives and children , If you don’t kill them in the future, you will never be able to live a stable life in this life, so follow me and move forward!"
Under his encouragement, many people became red-eyed, picked up the swords on the ground and followed him to kill the bandits.
It's a pity that they don't have martial arts like Chu Qingyun. Many of them were injured, and some of them who were less lucky died on the spot.
Ye Qingran was not idle either. He fired cold arrows from behind from the direction the bandits came from, and fired loud arrows at the same time to create the illusion of support.
Chu Qingyun took the lead in the front and killed fiercely. These bandits had never encountered such a situation before. They did not want to suffer too much losses and began to retreat. However, they did not expect that there were people behind them firing arrows and supporting them. They immediately became confused and began to flee. , no longer as arrogant as at the beginning.
Seeing this trend, the men who followed Chu Qingyun to kill also became red-eyed.
After being oppressed for such a long time, it was the first time that I was able to take the initiative to drive away the bandits. I no longer cared about fear and wished I could kill all these bandits.
After all, these bandits had some skills. After losing a small number of their men, they all ran away.
In addition to the way they came, they also have many escape routes. It is completely impossible to catch them.
After all the bandits left, the men also lost their strength and collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.
Even in such a cold day, they were sweating profusely, as if all their strength had been exhausted.
Chu Qingyun was also panting a little. After calming down for a while, he shouted: "Today is just the beginning. From now on, I will lead you to kill all these bandits and avenge your dead relatives!"
The people around him were immersed in the joy of victory and cheered.
