Chapter 113 Jingde Mountain

"Really", Li Xiaoxin looked into his sister's eyes and nodded affirmatively.

The fleeing team moved forward slowly, and Li Xiaoxin explained to his sister in detail why he was so sure while walking.

"Do you know what kind of mountain Jingde Mountain where Jingde Academy is located? The mountain is surrounded by water on three sides, and behind it is a high cliff. If you want to go up and down the mountain, you can basically only pass the stone bridge in front of the mountain gate. , So, even if the Japanese pirates really want to attack Jingde Mountain, they just need to guard the stone bridge."

"I heard that Boss Wan not only lost a large amount of property when the Japanese pirates attacked for the first time, but also his family members in the city suffered casualties. Later, he moved the place where his family members lived outside the city; In my son's other courtyard, I began to hoard food and grass for many years, recruited hundreds of family members, and sent people to patrol near the coast where Japanese pirates often landed. Then send people into the city on horseback to inform the people to escape in advance. The villagers near Jingde Mountain will also go to the mountain to take refuge. The academy, Boss Wan’s other courtyard and the temple on the top of the mountain will provide temporary accommodation. Hundreds of family members will guard the stone bridge. Let a Japanese pirate go up the mountain."

"I heard that when the Japanese pirates came for the second time, Boss Wan used this method. Not only Boss Wan's family, but also the academy and the people in the villages near Jingde Mountain suffered few casualties. The Japanese pirates did not go up the mountain at all. There is enough food and grass on the mountain, and there are houses. , escaped unharmed safely.”

Li Xiaoxin was talking while walking, his mouth was a little dry, he took a sip from the water bag on his waist, and continued: "If the south gate can be walked, I would like to take you to Jingde Mountain for a while. Fleeing north to Anzhou is much more comfortable! It also saves you from being separated from your brother-in-law. So, just rest assured! He is much more comfortable staying on the mountain than you, so you should worry more about yourself!"

Hearing what his brother said in such detail, Li Xiaodao showed a gratified expression.

As long as it is safe, she will feel more at ease.

I will try my best to save my life, and after half a month, I will be able to see my husband again.

It's just that she still has questions in her heart, and she can't express it quickly.

Li Xiaodao walked beside his brother and asked, "Brother, how many soldiers are there in the provincial capital, and how many Japanese pirates are there? Why did the south gate break down without any movement? Why do you say that the officers and soldiers will not notify the people?"

Li Xiaoxin looked around, there were still some fleeing people nearby, but they were a little farther away. He leaned close to Li Xiaodao's ear, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered: "Just now there are too many people near the city gate, so I will tell you quietly now. Well, let’s say there are tens of thousands of garrisons in the provincial capital. When there are few Japanese pirates, there are thousands of them, and when there are many, there are thousands. Rumor has it that the defenders of the city, and even the chief envoy, the inspector, and the commanding envoy, the three elders, were secretly colluding. Not only did they not resist and connive at the Japanese pirates entering the city, but even people from the Great Yu Dynasty joined the Japanese pirates led the Japanese pirates to burn, kill, and loot the people... hey...you said that if this is true, how can this provincial capital be able to hold it? I only hope that Anzhou can hold it now, so don't bother..." After finishing speaking, Li Xiaoxin sighed deeply.

Li Xiaodao felt that his three views had been critically attacked.

Brother is saying that not only ordinary people join the Japanese pirates, but even parents and officials are accomplices?

This...is too dark!

"Is there no one to take care of it? What is the court doing?" Li Xiaodao said angrily.

Li Xiaoxin snorted, and said in a low voice: "I heard that just a few years after your majesty succeeded to the throne, the Prince Rong who helped your majesty take the throne - that is, the prince of Fuguo that your majesty later appointed, and your majesty's younger uncle, King Jin, two forces fought against each other. You die and live, and you have no time to take care of the Japanese plague in the southeast province. I heard that Prince Rong is able to assist His Majesty in governing the country, but Prince Rong's power is mostly in the north. Even if Prince Rong wants to get rid of the Japanese plague, he will be too far away! Gentlemen rely on King Jin, how can it be possible for his soldiers to step into the border of Southeast Province?"

"Then there is no other way..." Hearing these words, Li Xiaodao sighed, "Boss Wan raised hundreds of family members for self-defense, what about other rich and capable people? Can't everyone unite to resist? "

Li Xiaoxin smiled wryly: "My silly sister! As long as other rich and capable people don't rob you with the pirates! I don't believe that the pirates have never approached Boss Wan, but I don't know why Boss Wan seems to be I don't want to be with them."

I thought I had entered a beautiful world of small bridges and flowing water, but I didn't expect it to be so realistic and dark.

Li Xiaodao read in the history books that people were killed to invite military merits, which made her angry and sad. She never thought that she would actually meet "fish and meat people" in the literal sense after time travel.

If Boss Wan and the Japanese pirates were not in the same group... She suddenly remembered the three big boats on the seaside of Wanyu Mountain and the cargo on board...

I'm afraid it's going to be bad.

Before that, she felt that Wan Yushan's ship was unable to get ready to leave the port due to the seizure of Kelina's cargo by the Shibo Department. It seemed that it was intentional to delay...

Maybe Boss Wan refused to join the group, so he was targeted by them this time?
She sighed softly as she walked in the team of the escape team.

What is cannibalism without spitting out the bones? It's terrible.

"Brother, the people are suffering."

"Hmph, that's not right, just like us, I'm afraid we can only eat dry biscuits and drink cold water for the whole month. As far as we are concerned, there are still people who have no food to eat!"

After the conversation, both of them fell silent.

The escape team kept heading north without daring to stop, and continued on their way at noon that day. The guys took turns pulling the carts, and everyone ate dry food and drank cold water while walking.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set that Li Xiaoxin found a spacious and flat place on the side of the road, and asked the guys to take out the cloth shed and set it up on the spot. Although it couldn't be as warm as the room, at least there was a shed that could cover the head and the sun. There are three sides to block the cold wind at night, and then a fire is lit in the middle, and everyone sits around the fire, which is much warmer.

Li Xiaoxin left one guy standing guard to observe the situation behind, while the rest sat down to eat dry food for dinner.

Dinner was dry biscuits and cold water again, Li Xiaodao divided the jerky with everyone, and finally had something seasoned.

During the meal, Mrs. Qi scolded those Japanese pirates who received a thousand knives again, and the pancakes were hard to swallow when served with jerky.

Xiaodouzi and four or five other guys chatted in low voices, some worried about whether their relatives and friends in the provincial capital had escaped, and some regretted that they forgot to bring some valuables when they left.

After eating the dry food, it was dark.

After walking for a day, Li Xiaodao felt that his legs and feet were almost not his own.She took off her quilt from the carriage, ready to wrap herself up and rest.

There are not so many quilts, three or two people sit on the ground and wrap a quilt.

Tonight, Li Xiaodao and Mrs. Wang are wrapped in a quilt, so they can only make it through the night.

Or for the next month or so, I can only make do with it.
