Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish
Chapter 489: Growing Branches
"What is the current situation of the military settlement?"
After a moment, Lin Xiaoyue asked again. Wang Da and Wang Er were not stupid either, and they could figure out something from it.
Although they didn't know what the county lord was planning to do, Captain Wu was imprisoned, Commander Mu was poisoned and isolated, and there were three layers of strict defense inside and outside. Even if they wanted to find out what happened, they had no way to do it.
As for the fact that the military camp is now closed, they managed to sneak out two days ago. They can't explain the current situation in the camp clearly, and can only report the general situation to the princess.
Lin Xiaoyue listened carefully without interrupting the two of them, and her mind was quickly thinking about what to do.
Lin Xiaoyue might not be as experienced as the generals of this dynasty in terms of deploying troops and making various defenses. But with her own advantages, it shouldn't be too difficult to launch a sneak attack and rescue the people, or find an opportunity to get rid of the four obviously problematic Qianhu without anyone noticing.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue asked Xiaocao to arrange a room for the two of them so that they could have a good rest. She needed to prepare some things so that she could save the people and get out of the situation safely. Otherwise, if she got into trouble, all the people in the Lin family behind her would be dragged into the water.
The two of them didn't know what the princess meant, and they didn't want to cause any trouble, so they were eager to speak.
"Okay, I know what you're worried about, but look at your faces now, you look like ghosts. I'll need you to lead the way later. Go and rest for a while and get yourself back in shape."
The two looked at each other, and both saw the look of indifference on the princess's face. Their hearts tightened, and they nodded quickly and followed Xiaocao to retreat.
Before the three of them left the front hall, Lin Baotian and Lin Xiaoshan rushed in in a disheveled state, followed by a panicked cry, "San Ya, it's bad, your mother and everyone else have been captured by the soldiers."
Lin Xiaoyue's face changed and she rushed out quickly, "What did you say? Didn't I just send you home? How did you get caught? Who caught you?"
Lin Baotian and Lin Xiaoshan were now covered in dust and looked dishevelled, with fear and sadness in their eyes. As soon as they came in, they angrily talked about what happened after Lin Xiaoyue left. "We were all packing up our things, but we didn't expect a group of soldiers to break in quietly and beat everyone they saw. The leader even shouted that our wine had poisoned someone and wanted to arrest us and put us in jail."
"Didn't you tell me about your relationship with me?"
"I said it, why didn't I say it? But those soldiers were so arrogant and didn't listen to us at all." Lin Xiaoshan recalled that the soldiers beat anyone and smashed anything they saw. The scene was out of control for a while, and he suddenly felt angry. "Those soldiers shouted that the emperor was guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention a country bumpkin princess who was not worthy of being on the stage."
Lin Baotian wiped the tears from his face and swallowed the sobs that kept rising up. "My father tried to reason with them, but they kicked him in the waist and he couldn't stand up. I wanted to go forward and fight with them, but the hunter was beaten on the head by them in order to cover Xiaoshan and me and escape to find someone to call for help..."
After escaping, the two men did not dare to look back, for fear that they would be unable to resist rushing up to fight with those soldiers. They could only run desperately, without stopping, not even daring to stop to breathe, for fear that if they delayed for a moment, their family members would lose their lives.
The two men were in a disheveled state, crying and cursing as they spoke. They had never encountered such arrogant and completely unreasonable soldiers before.
In their poor understanding, these are not soldiers at all, but bandits. Soldiers should be upright, courageous, and good men who defend their country and are iron-blooded.
Lin Xiaoyue's heart went cold and her eyes narrowed dangerously. A bunch of bastards actually dared to touch her family. Then... just send them to death.
"Xiao Cao, gather some people, bring your weapons and gather in the front yard immediately."
When Xiaocao heard this, he was stunned at first, then he left Wang Da and Wang Er and rushed to the backyard to get help.
"Uncle Chen (the servant of Xianyu Villa), go to Doctor Qiao and Doctor Li next door and ask them to bring their medicine boxes with me to rescue people."
"Yes, miss." Uncle Chen received the order and ran out immediately without delay.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was about to do something big, Wang Da and Wang Er volunteered to be the pioneers, "Princess, the four thousand households in the village should have sent someone to take your family away. We are familiar with the military village, so let us lead the way for you."
"Princess, please take both of us with you."
The two of them also obviously connected the relationship between the wine bought by Captain Wu and the wine sold by the princess's family. At this time, the princess's family was taken away, and it was obvious that the four captains were also responsible.
Although I can't guess why they want to drag the princess and her family into this at this critical moment, I still think it's better to be safe than sorry. What if this is a trap? At least the two of them are familiar with the terrain of the village and can provide some useful information and help to the princess.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at the two of them deeply, and finally nodded, "Okay."
"Sana, let's go too."
"We are a family, and as a family we should advance and retreat together."
Lin Baotian and Lin Xiaoshan did not stop Lin Xiaoyue, but directly expressed their willingness to go together. Although they might not be able to play any role, their families were there too. If they were left alone in the villa to wait for news, they would be extremely anxious.
"it is good."
The people in the villa gathered quickly. Almost as soon as Xiaocao ran a circle, everyone gathered in the front yard with their weapons.
Although he didn't understand why the princess called everyone in a hurry just after arriving home, it was obvious that something big had happened from Xiaocao's anxious look.
The 302 people in the villa, plus Wang Da, Wang Er, and Lin Baotian and Lin Xiaoshan who came to report the news, quickly gathered in the front yard.
Lin Xiaoyue did not hide the fact that she wanted to save people. She told everyone that everyone in Linjiazhuang was taken away by soldiers from the military settlement, the commander was poisoned, Captain Wu was thrown into a water dungeon, and even that a traitor had appeared in the military camp.
She also threatened that she might never come back from the rescue mission and that it would be extremely dangerous, so if anyone was willing to go with her, they could go with her.
If she was unwilling to take risks, she would never rescue him by force and would let him go.
Lin Xiaoyue exuded coldness as she spoke, making everyone feel the bloodthirsty arrogance emanating from her from the inside out. The unstoppable momentum made everyone's soul tremble.
Although most of the people present had not been with Lin Xiaoyue for a long time, she had treated them sincerely and had never criticized them. In other words, Lin Xiaoyue was their adopted parent, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she had given them a new life when they were at the bottom of their dark lives.
