Now, only Jiang Pengji and the pitiful women were left in the hall.
The first thing she said was —
"I'm not interested in you. You don't have to be so scared."
Regardless of the women's reactions, the audience in the streaming room was about to kneel down before her.
Qu 'er: "Haha — Streamer, are you comforting them or scaring them?"
Labor Income Tax: "Hmm, I think it's a threat."
Laosiji Lianmeng: "There's nothing wrong with what the streamer said. She's a woman. Of course, she's not interested in women."
The audience in the streaming room knew that Jiang Pengji was a woman, a woman who was more manly than men.
However, the women who were hurt did not know that.
"Which family are you from? I'll send someone to escort you home tomorrow morning. "
Even after she said that, the women below still did not move. They just lowered their heads quietly. Some of them were still trembling.
Jiang Pengji frowned. "If you refuse to speak, I'll tacitly agree that you want to stay. You also know what will happen to a beautiful woman if she stays with a group of men. Do you still want to remain silent and refuse to return to your loved ones? "
At that moment, a young girl who was about 15 or 16 knelt down with a thud.
She said with red eyes, sobbing, "I'm the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Those beasts killed my whole family. Now I'm the only one left. How do you expect me to return? I'll never agree to stay and let them trample on me. I only ask that you take pity on me and give me a quick death. "
When there was a first, there would naturally be a second. Then, another woman knelt down to plead. Slowly, all of them knelt on the ground.
Compared to General Jiu's ferocious and scary appearance, Jiang Pengji was slender and harmless.
Even if she was covered in blood, she was more likable than General Jiu.
Jiang Pengji rubbed her brows and asked in a dull tone, "If you really want to die, why are you still alive?"
As soon as she said that, everyone's expression changed drastically. The remaining color on their faces faded.
How could Jiang Pengji not know what they were thinking? They suspected that she was lying and thought that she did not want to let them go.
Her good intentions were twisted and misunderstood by others. She was also depressed.
"I don't have any ill intentions when I say that." Jiang Pengji spread her hands and said, "Since I said I will send someone to send you home, I will definitely do it. The Tsing Yi Army is a mob. They have committed numerous crimes and view human lives as insignificant as ants. However, I am the district magistrate of Xiangyang district personally appointed by the emperor. In the territory of Xiangyang District, you are all citizens under my rule. Why would I hurt you? Alas, if you really don't have a place to go, I'll think of a way to settle you all down. Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully you. "
As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of these women became very interesting.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that the teenager who killed people like flies was the newly appointed district magistrate of Xiangyang district!
The first girl stammered, "You, you are really … the county magistrate?"
"Yes. Do I need to show you the Emperor's decree?" Jiang Pengji asked.
The other party shook his head like a rattle drum. His face gradually lost its color, and he looked a little embarrassed.
If Jiang Pengji was really the district magistrate, she would definitely not force them. In other words, she really wanted to help them.
However … they really had no place to go.
Jiang Pengji sighed. "Stay in the district headquarters for the time being. I'll arrange everything properly, then I'll think of a way to settle you all down. As for the property confiscated by the Tsing Yi Army, if it's true, I'll return it all to you after tidying it up. "
The crowd said in unison, "Thank you, district magistrate."
Hualian Supermarket: "Eh? Streamer, do you really plan to return their property to them? You must be very short of money and food now, right? "
Jiang Pengji secretly rolled her eyes. Was she such an insatiable person in the eyes of the audience?
Streamer V: "What I lack now is manpower, not food."
She, Jiang Pengji, had not fallen to the point where she needed to snatch the property of an orphan girl!
The women were still anxious, but Jiang Pengji's attitude gave them confidence.
At that moment, on the two sides of the Longhu Boardwalk.
Qiguan Rang did not sleep the whole night. He held the feather fan that never left his side and looked into the distance worriedly.
"It seems that I overestimated the motley crew."
He thought that the Tsing Yi Army would launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night. Who knew that there was not even a shadow of the enemy after the second half of the night.
Feng Jin covered his face with his sleeves and yawned. "If there's still no movement after daybreak, that's good news."
Luo Yue looked at Qiguan Rang on his left and Feng Jin on his right. Then he looked at Xu Ke, who was frowning so tightly that he could squeeze a mosquito to death.
His heart skipped a beat. Keeping watch at night was not the job of a scholar.
It was only the second half of the night, but the three of them could not hold on any longer.
Luo Yue humbly consulted Feng Jin. "Master Huaiyu, I don't understand what you're saying."
Feng Jin said, "If there's an enemy attack in the second half of the night, it means that Langjun is in trouble. Not only did the Tsing Yi Army hold Langjun back, but they also have extra troops to attack the camp at night. On the contrary, if there's still no movement at dawn, Langjun is most likely successful. "
Qiguan Rang waved the feather fan with one hand and fiddled with the bonfire with the other. He said, "Send someone to the west gate to check on the situation."
Luo Yue asked, "What situation?"
"Check to see if there are heads hanging on the city walls. If it's a stranger's head, Langjun will have succeeded. If it's hung … "Qiguan Rang stopped talking." … If that's the case, we have to think of a way out for these people and make proper arrangements for them. "
Luo Yue's face darkened. He said, "I'll do it now."
Seeing Luo Yue walk away, Qiguan Rang asked Xu Ke, "What do you think about the possibility of Langjun succeeding this time?"
Xu Ke asked in reply, "How can Wenzheng not know about the troop's combat power?"
The one thousand troops were all equipped with improved crossbows and handy weapons. This was the project that cost the most among the troops. How could there be no return after spending so much money? If they couldn't even handle ten thousand Tsing Yi Army soldiers, then what was there to do?
The smile on Qiguan Rang's face became more sincere.
He said, "Knowing is one thing, but the battlefield is ever-changing. Who can predict everything?"
The three of them looked at the bonfire with different thoughts.
The night was destined to be difficult. No one was in the mood to sleep.
A ray of golden light rose from the east. It burned the morning fog and dispersed the gloomy night sky.
Qiguan Rang rubbed his sore eyes and used his tongue to lick his dry lips. He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was already beating like thunder.
He stood up straight and looked at the huge city in the distance that was covered by the morning fog. He prayed in his heart.
"Report —"
A loud shout broke the silence. The three of them clenched their fists.
