Chapter 52 Where is the Captain? (Please read)
It wasn't until the thin figure disappeared from their sight that the two came to their senses.

The brother and sister looked at each other and let out a deep breath.

Today, he escaped from Lianhua County, his father and three uncle bodyguards were killed by bandits, and he himself was in danger. Finally, this skinny bandit came to seek revenge, and a civil war broke out among the bandits.

After going through so many ups and downs, their emotions had been in an extremely tense state. Only now, when this skinny bandit killed all the other bandits and left, did their nerves relax a little.

After a few moments of silence, Xia Qingyu raised her head, looked in the direction where Lu Yuan left, and said to Xia Yuan:
"Brother, we will never forget your life-saving grace."

Xia Yuan also nodded heavily.

That’s right, I will never forget your life-saving grace!

Although this bandit was seeking revenge, he did not come here intentionally to rescue them.

But without him, he and his sister would never have survived.

Moreover, the other party also helped them to avenge themselves! They killed all the enemies who killed their father and uncle, leaving no one alive!
He will never forget such a great favor!

Even if the other party is a bandit!

But he believed that the other party must be a good bandit!

Such a strong man will never be an unknown person among the bandits in the future.

As long as he goes back, he can gather the clean people, clean up the government, and come up with strategies to strengthen the country and the army.

In the future, when the army arrives and wipes out the bandits, he will definitely save his benefactor's life!

Thinking of this, he stood up and walked towards the carriage that was still stuck in the mud.

He wanted to throw away all the books on the carriage, unload the load, and let the horse pull the carriage out of the pit by itself.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time.

No one knows whether there will be more bandits in the future.

We have to leave quickly and head for Qianzhou.

Xia Qingyu looked at the direction where the skinny bandit left and said softly:

"It's a long way to go~"

She has never been willing to trouble others since she was a child and has never received any favors from outsiders.

This time, the debt I owe you is like a life-saving favor.

I will never forget such a great favor.

She remembered the name of her benefactor deeply.

Soon, Xia Yuan pushed all the heavy wooden slips off the carriage and pulled the carriage out of the mud pit.

The Xia brothers and sisters worked together to lift the bodies of Duke Xia and his three guards onto the carriage.

Then he picked up the scattered gold, silver and other valuables, and put the remaining half of the rice on the carriage.

Xia Qingyu picked up the piece of curtain that was torn by Lu Yuan and covered her entire face tightly.

Then he picked up two long knives from the ground and placed them on the carriage.

It’s a long journey to Qianzhou.

Now that her father is gone, she has to protect herself.

Following the shout of Xia Yuan in front: "Gee~!".

The carriage soon disappeared into the mountain forest path.

Lianhua County.

Everywhere there were sounds of beating, scolding, screaming, and women's cries.

The bodies of the soldiers defending the city were thrown into the streets.

The people were driven out of their houses and marched outside the city gates.

Anyone who dared to rush back to rescue their own women or who felt resentful and wanted to fight the bandits inside was hacked to death by the soldiers armed with fine iron weapons.

West Gate, a large courtyard.

In the courtyard there were the cries of women and the laughter of pawns.

A soldier pulled up his trousers and walked out of the yard with a satisfied look on his face. As soon as he went out, he saw several people gathered outside the yard. After he saw that one of them was the captain, he laughed and greeted him:
"Captain Xu, you are here too. Do you want to go into the yard and play for a while? The women there are pretty good. If you go now, there should be something to play with in a while."

Xu Changqing said nothing, then uttered two words from between his teeth:

"Need not.".

Meng Yan, Zhou An, Song Wen, and two other captains, Zhou Qing and Ma Zongwei, were all staring at him.

Some of them still had anger on their faces.

The soldier who came out of the yard laughed again and said:
"Captain, I'm going to leave for a while. Several brothers are playing. I want to see how they are doing over there."

After saying that, he picked up his loose trousers and walked towards the opposite yard.

He naturally knew what those people's eyes meant.

When he was about to come in earlier, those people who were standing outside without moving all looked at him with the same expression.

However, he didn't care.

In his eyes, these people are just being pretentious.

Our brothers fought desperately to capture a county, so we can’t enjoy ourselves?
Who knows if we can survive the next attack on another county?

We can enjoy this kind of thing every time we attack a county town, and then we will be motivated when we fight.

Besides, the sergeant of the guards had already told him.

As long as you play with them, you will become the personal soldier under the brigade commander in the future.

And these don't play with them.
Just like Xu Changqing.

Hehe, the sergeant has already promised that the position of captain will soon fall on him and he will take over.

Therefore, now he doesn't need to pay any attention to Xu Changqing, the two captains beside him, and the three guys who are not even captains.

The invitation to Xu Changqing into the yard just now was just talk.

If Xu Changqing had gone there, he would have gone in earlier.

If he doesn't go, he won't be able to become the brigade commander's personal soldier, and his position as captain will definitely not be stable.

By then, I will replace him, and even if I can make some military achievements next time, I might even be promoted to sergeant!

Why should he care about how these people with no future view him?
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace with a lewd smile on his face.

There might be an even more beautiful woman waiting for him over there, so he has to perform well in front of the other brothers!
Zhou An, Meng Yan, Song Wen, and the three captains all had cold expressions on their faces as they looked at the departing soldier.

During the attack on Lianhua County, many of the soldiers who had joined the army before also committed these bandit acts.

Women were raped and children were killed.

They were extremely angry.

But there was nothing they could do except get angry.

Song Wen gnashed his teeth and said angrily:

"I will kill these beasts!!"

Killing children, humiliating women, and doing such beastly acts are no different from beasts in his eyes, and beasts that harm people!

Killing is not enough to vent your hatred!
After saying this, he turned to look at Meng Yan and said:
"Still haven't found the captain?"

The three of them gathered here to discuss countermeasures with the captain.

They knew that if they wanted to accomplish great things, just a few of them would not be enough.

They need more manpower.

Xu Changqing, Song Qing and Ma Zongwei have already passed their tests and are trustworthy people.

I originally wanted to find the captain, but I heard from Meng Yan that the captain stayed here for a while and then disappeared.

He searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

So, the six of them waited here for the captain.

However, after waiting for a long time, no one showed up.
