Chapter 430 Have the prince’s reinforcements arrived?
The old man looked at the porcelain bottle with a dull expression and did not take it for a long time.
Seeing that he was so tactless, Duanmu Huo snorted coldly and winked at his men nearby.
Soon, the sound of a child crying was heard not far away.
The old man looked in the direction of the crying as if struck by lightning.
However, due to the distance and the old man's poor eyesight, he could not find the child's exact location for a while. After much difficulty, he finally found the child's direction. Looking at the child held high, the old man's eyes were red with anger, and he rushed towards the child without thinking.
“Xiaodouzi, grandpa is here...Xiaodouzi...Xiaodouzi...”
But Duanmu Huo would not let him have his wish. His men immediately held the man down, and no matter how he struggled, it was useless.
Duanmu Huo just looked down at this insignificant and lowly person, watching him suffer, and this seemed to satisfy his perverted and evil taste.
"What? This medicine...are you going to take it or not?"
The old man was so anxious that he cried and snotted, but he finally said two words, "I'll take it."
Duanmu Huo showed a mocking smile, "Ha, ha, ha, I told you, everyone has weaknesses, as long as you can grasp them well, there is nothing you can't do. Come on!"
"General."
"Hang this old man on the tower." Then, Duanmu Huo bent down slightly and put the porcelain bottle into the old man's hands. "Remember, you must open the porcelain bottle in front of your regent, and the distance cannot exceed ten steps. Do you understand?"
The old man buried his head on the ground, his shoulders shaking constantly.
Duanmu Huo didn't care at all and continued, "If you complete the mission well, your grandson will live. If you fail, hehe, then you two will go to the underworld to reunite as a family."
The old man whimpered and his shoulders shook even more violently.
Duanmu Huo waved to the two Simon soldiers who were escorting the old man, and they immediately took the old man away.
Duanmu Huo put his hands behind his back, raised his chin and looked at the crowd of people not far away, his eyes full of pride.
"Asan."
Asan immediately stepped forward, "General."
"Bring the remaining civilians up here as well. Just one person doesn't seem interesting enough." Duanmu Hou raised a cold-blooded smile, "Anyway, just let the old man live. As for the others... kill them all in front of Chu Chenfeng. What do you think his reaction will be?"
Asan:...
Seeing that Asang didn't move, Duanmu Huo glanced at him and said, "Go ahead, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Yes."
Asan: Forget it, forget it. As long as the general doesn’t interfere with his work and kills a few civilians, let him do it. It’s no big deal.
Now, as long as the regent of Daqing can be poisoned successfully, the mission will be accomplished.
The army was not far away, and Xing Yi was at the front, paying attention to the situation on the city wall not far away. As the distance got closer, he could see more clearly.
Xingyi frowned, kicked his horse's belly and came to his master's side, "Master, Duanmu Huo seems to have hung a few living people on the tower. Is he... trying to use them to threaten you? Isn't Yingyi's side going well?"
"With so many people in a town, it's possible that some were missed."
"Duanmu Huo is a military commander after all. To threaten the powerless common people is really..."
Chu Chenfeng was not surprised at all, as he knew Duanmu Huo.
He has mediocre qualifications and abilities, and is overambitious but incompetent. Yet, he is also arrogant and wants to prove to Duanmu Qing that he is his most suitable successor.
But Duanmu Qing himself didn't think highly of his son, and didn't know why he would be willing to let him come this time.
"You will act according to circumstances later and try to save the people."
"Yes."
On the other side, Ying Yi and his group have already faced off against 20,000 Simon soldiers. A fight is about to break out, and there is no other way except to fight hard.
Xingwu, Dongzi and others rushed over without stopping and joined the battle without even taking a breath.
The people were settled in the innermost part of the mine, which was still protected by a hundred black-armored soldiers. They were the last layer of security.
Fang Huai stood at the front anxiously, pacing back and forth, listening to the sounds of fighting, not knowing what to do. He was a civil servant, unable to carry anything, and if he went out, he would die.
It doesn't matter if he died, but there are so many people left behind.
He looked at the black-armored soldier who looked like a small leader and said, "This... sir, the prince... have the prince's reinforcements arrived?"
The black-armored soldier who was being questioned glanced at him and said, "We'll be there soon."
“Right away…right away? Okay, okay, that’s good.”
Fang Huai wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked behind him. Many young and strong people were standing not far away, some holding hoes, some holding sickles, and some holding kitchen knives. Everyone looked at the distance vigilantly. Although they couldn't see anything, no one dared to leave.
Erbao led a dozen people through the fierce fighting scene and came directly to where the people were.
Zero, the thief from the Black Armor Army, was the first to notice someone approaching and immediately drew his sword to meet the approach.
"One of our own!"
Erbao swung the long sword in his hand, and the two swords collided with each other, making a crisp sound, which made the people not far away tremble.
"We are the princess's men, and we are here to help."
The black-armored soldier glanced at Erbao and seemed to know him. He immediately put away his sword and said, "Sorry."
Erbao nodded and put away his sword.
Erbao looked at the situation here and found that it was relatively empty and there were stones everywhere.
"Big brother, how many people are there here?"
The black-armored soldier looked at his brothers around him, "One hundred and seven."
"Okay, please move some brothers over to bring the stones over there, and we'll block this road first." Erbao pointed to the stones not far away. Those stones were very large and could not be moved by one or two people.
The little leader paused for a few breaths and immediately made arrangements.
Erbao heaved a sigh of relief. Time was running out, and he didn't have that much time to explain. Then he looked at Ah Tu and Hu Zi behind him, "Brother Ah Tu, Brother Hu Zi, you guys go help too. Let's pile up stones along this line."
A Tu and Hu Zi looked around and immediately understood what Er Bao meant.
The gate of the mine was destroyed, and there was too much space on both sides. If Simon's soldiers attacked, there would be nothing to stop them.
"Brother Afeng, Brother Xiaobai," Erbao pointed to the small hills on both sides, "You go to the top of the hill over there and make some arrangements. The most abundant thing here is stones, so let's not waste them and use local materials."
The one called Xiaobai grinned and said, "Okay, let's use the local materials and use this stone to smash those Simon people to death."
Erbao looked around again, and looked at the remaining brothers, "How many medicines do you have?"
A teenager of medium height took out his small cloth bag and said, "I don't have many left, maybe only about ten bottles."
"Mine too. I used too much in that abyss just now."
Erbao also rummaged through his small cloth bag, and found that there wasn't much left.
"Let's round up the medicine and see how many there are."
