"Well, how many prisoners are there?"

Ning Quan continued to ask.

"Your Highness, there are a total of 313 prisoners. Three died of illness on the way, leaving 310. Here is the list for your review."

Wu Ming hurriedly handed the catalog to Ning Quan.

"Why did three die?"

"Didn't the Prime Minister instruct you to take good care of the prisoners? Did you mistreat them on the way?"

Hearing that three people had died, Ning Quan frowned immediately.

"Your Highness, please calm down. We would never dare to do that. The butler of the Prime Minister's Residence specifically instructed us to take good care of him before we set out.

"But because the journey was so long, the weather was so changeable, and they were weak, three of them died."

Wu Ming said with a bitter face.

"Well, if that's the case, then it's understandable."

"Okay, let's get into town."

Hearing Wu Ming's words, Ning Quan waved his hand, signaling him to continue escorting the prisoners.

"promise!"

After Wu Ming responded, he quickly escorted the prison van into the city.

Ning Quan followed behind, checking the prisoner list as he walked.

The prisoners sent here were of all kinds, including family members of officials appointed by the imperial court, whose homes were searched because of crimes, ordinary people, and even businessmen.

Among them, half are men and half are women, and the majority are old and young.

But it doesn’t matter. As I said, as long as people are safe and sound, they have everything.

The old man is a treasure and has rich experience.

As for children, they will grow up one day, so Ning Quan is still very happy.

Soon, the group arrived in the city.

"Your Highness, I welcome you!"

As soon as we entered the city, Zhuge Liang was already waiting there.

"No gift."

"Prime Minister, you are here to hand over these prisoners. The sooner you do, the easier it will be for the escort soldiers to return."

"If it's too late, I'm afraid there's no going back."

Ning Quan said to Zhuge Liang.

"promise!"

Zhuge Liang nodded, and then began the handover work.

Ning Quan went straight back to the county government office.

Just leave this little matter to Zhuge Liang.

……

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another seven days had passed.

After seven days of hard work by everyone, the city wall was finally completed.

The new city wall is four meters high, one meter wide and three meters thick.

Although such a city wall cannot be compared with the walls of a big city, it is similar to that of a normal county town.

The city gates were also rebuilt and moats were dug around the city.

At the same time, in the past few days, the people in the city also conducted two exercises in accordance with the orders issued by Li Jing.

Mainly used to defend against arrow attacks or catapult attacks.

The arrows of the Hun cavalry were fatal.

What's more, Hulun City is not big to begin with, and once there is intensive shooting, it will definitely become a hornet's nest.

And this morning, Lu Bu, who had been out on reconnaissance, has returned.

"Your Highness, the army of Zuo Xian Wang arrived at the Donghu tribe two days ago."

"According to calculations, they should rest for two days before setting out to attack Hulan today."

After returning, Lu Bu immediately reported to Ning Quan.

"How many days does it take to march from the Donghu tribe to here?"

Ning Quan asked.

"Your Highness, at the normal marching speed, it will take at least five days."

Lu Bu replied.

"Five days? That would be great."

Ning Quan was overjoyed when he heard Lu Bu's words.

If it was five days, then he could really catch the next lottery.

Of course, this is just a miss.

Even if you catch up, you may not be able to draw a heavy machine gun.

After all, it's a one-out-of-nine selection, and Ning Quan doesn't think he has such good luck that he can win on the first try.

Ning Quan was just giving it a try, and he wouldn't be disappointed even if he didn't win, after all, there was a lot of time left in the future.

"General Lu, you've worked hard. Take a day off and then reunite with General Huo."

Then Ning Quan gave the order.

"Yes! I will retire at the end!"

After hearing Ning Quan's words, Lu Bu took the order and retreated.

.........

At the same time, on the grassland northeast of Hulun City.

One hundred thousand Xiongnu troops were marching out of the Donghu camp.

Right in front of the team was the Left Wise King of the Western Xiongnu - Huhanqi.

Huhanqi is the younger brother of Huhanye, the Chanyu of the Western Xiongnu. He is in his forties, brave and good at fighting, and is highly trusted by the Chanyu.

This time he was ordered to lead troops to attack Hulan. His purpose was not only to seek revenge, but also to expand the territory so that he could launch subsequent actions against the Beiting Protectorate.

The Beiting Protectorate was the biggest threat and constraint to the Western Xiongnu. If Beiting could be eliminated, the Western Xiongnu would have no worries and could invade Daqian with confidence.

Beside him were the Donghu tribe's Chanyu Ashina and his son Huhanmo.

"Father, if we attack Hulan, will Beiting support us?"

Hu Hanmao spoke.

"Humph, what does it matter whether we save him or not? Otherwise, why would we send out a hundred thousand troops?"

Hu Hanqi said with a sneer.

“Father is wise!”

Hearing Huhanqi's words, Huhanmo immediately showed admiration.

My father is right. There is no need for an army of 100,000 to destroy the small Hulan. 30,000 cavalry will be enough. And the purpose is to guard against Beiting.

"Haha, when the army arrives, the Ninth Prince will definitely be shocked."

"Maybe he will immediately kneel down and submit to father."

Hu Hanmao laughed out loud.

"Well, you're right. It might be possible."

Hu Hanqi nodded.

The father and son both looked very confident, as if they had Hu Lan in their grasp.

What they didn't expect was that Ning Quan had already made preparations and was waiting for them to come.

...............................

On the other side, after anxious waiting.

Ning Quan finally waited for the day of the lottery before the arrival of the Hun army.

"System, lottery."

In the room, Ning Quan said excitedly.

Before he finished speaking, a turntable appeared in front of Ning Quan.

There are still nine grids and nine items.

The items are exactly the same as last time, with no changes.

The nine items are:

Viagra*3

Heavy machine gun*1

Telescope*1

Pistol*2

Stab-proof clothing*2

Refrigerator*1

Solar generator*1

Marrow Cleansing Pill*1

Penicillin*10

…………

Looking at the heavy machine gun, Ning Quan's eyes were full of excitement.

At this moment, he was already imagining the scene of operating a heavy machine gun to kill the Huns to the point of blood and flesh flying everywhere.

"God bless me, I must win the heavy machine gun!"

Ning Quan prayed silently.

"Congratulations to the host for extracting penicillin*10."

However, the opposite happened and he got penicillin.

Damn, how did I get penicillin?

I'm healthy now, why do I need penicillin?

Ning Quan was extremely depressed.

But there is no way, the result cannot be changed.

Whether he wins or not, he wants the penicillin.

Ning Quan had no choice but to suppress his depression and picked up the box of penicillin in front of him.

The system is quite thoughtful. Ten penicillin bottles actually come with ten syringes.
