Chapter 197 Mistaken for Refugees
Chapter 197 Mistaken for Refugees
After Lingxing finished blowing, he spoke again.
"The sky is clear now. I think the people of Chiqing Mountain will be very excited when they see this.
I would like to tell them our ideas first and let them know our plans.
Then we pick the right people to get it done.”
Xiao Jingyu agreed with Lingxing's idea.
At the same time, he also confessed Lingxing.
“Lingxing, if you encounter any problems after you go back, you can look for my second brother and Jingyi.
No matter what you do, you must first ensure your own and everyone else's safety, and don't be impulsive."
Ling Xing always believed Xiao Jingyu's explanation unconditionally.
"Yes."
After Lingxing answered, he selected a few of their people and took them out.
Only Xiao Jingyu and Jiang Qingyu were left in the cave.
The reason why Xiao Jingyu specifically told Lingxing to find Xiao Jingshi and Xiao Jingyi if he had any problems was because of this.
Firstly, he felt that his second brother was not as simple as he looked, and secondly, he was older than them.
If he encounters a problem, Xiao Jingshi will have better ideas.
When mentioning Xiao Jingyi, it was more because they wanted to take advantage of his identity. He was the queen's legitimate son, so it would be convenient for him to do things and there would be less trouble.
Although Xiao Jingyu's identity is very useful, it is not him after all. Some people may not buy it when facing his personal guards.
This time Lingxing led his men down the mountain and quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain. It was much faster than before and took less time.
This is because during the time when Xiao Jingyu was recuperating, they built steps on the road from the foot of the mountain to the cave.
After they finished the cave, they had nothing to do, so they thought about going up the mountain.
Every day they had to walk back and forth from the foot of the mountain to the cave several times, and each trip took nearly an hour.
So, when someone suggested building a staircase, they all agreed without thinking.
In order to speed up the progress, they also called a lot of people from Chiqing Mountain.
After Lingxing and others got on the boat, at the command, the boat set off towards Chiqing Mountain.
The people on the boat were all landlubbers brought by Xiao Jingyu from the border. Some of them had never even been on a boat, let alone driving one.
But this did not discourage them, fortunately they have strong learning ability.
During this period, they had to take a boat and cross the flood several times every day.
So, after asking the boatman for advice, they all learned how to steer the boat.
Soon, they arrived at the other side, and after they stopped the boat, they all got off.
After getting off the boat, they came to the stable nearby, each led out a horse, and then rode on the horse and set off for Chiqing Mountain.
In order to make it easier for Lingxing and his friends to go to Chiqing Mountain, they built a simple stable here and left a few horses for them.
After a few people got on the horses, they sighed on horseback, "Riding a horse is still more exciting."
After all, they are all soldiers who fought on horseback and are closer to the earth than to water.
So in a flash, Lingxing and the others arrived at Chiqing Mountain.
Although the rain had stopped, the road was still muddy, so when they arrived at Chiqing Mountain, everyone was covered in mud and looked so miserable that if you didn't know them, you would think they had just returned from a battle.
Lingxing and his companions came to where the refugees lived. They saw only a few tall and big young men, who were all dirty and each leading a horse. They mistakenly thought that they were fleeing.
Just as everyone was looking at them curiously, a kind-hearted uncle stood up.
"Hey guys, where are you refugees from?
Apart from our Jiangnan area, I haven't heard of any other places affected by the disaster?
By the way, have you eaten?
If you haven’t eaten, come with me to our dining place and eat something first, then eat more when it’s time for dinner.
You came here at the right time. We are not exposed to wind, rain or hunger here."
The uncle spoke so rapidly that no one around him could get a word in.
Only after the uncle finished speaking did Lingxing have the chance to speak.
"We are the subordinates of the King of Qi, and we are here to look for the Fifth Prince."
Ling Xing explained their identities and origins clearly with just a few words.
After hearing the identity of the visitor, the uncle immediately became respectful and saluted Lingxing and the others.
"Oh, so you are the subordinates of His Royal Highness Prince Qi.
I, an old man, was blind and did not recognize you. I mistook you for refugees. I hope you can forgive me."
Lingxing and the others didn't take the fact that the uncle mistook them for someone else's fault to heart.
"Uncle, where is the fifth prince now?
I'll find him when I need anything."
When the uncle heard this, he immediately expressed his opinion.
"I know. Follow me and I'll lead the way."
Unexpectedly, this uncle is a kind-hearted person. After he finished speaking, he really led the way.
The people around knew what had happened, and after seeing the man leave, they all started to go about their own business.
The construction of their residence on the mountain has been almost completed, so they don't need so many people.
Many of them are ordinary people, and their characteristic is that they cannot stop and cannot be idle.
So some of them began to look for some wild vegetables and medicinal herbs in the mountains.
Then another group of people came out and brought some seeds with them, so they began to cultivate the mountains and grow some seasonal food.
When the flood will recede is not something humans can control, and they don’t know how long they will stay here, so they are all making long-term plans.
The uncle leading the way in front is not only a kind-hearted person, but also a talkative person.
“Ah, looking at the clothes you’re wearing, I know it’s not easy for you people.
Rush to the front when there is danger, we are all raised by our parents.
Seeing you like this makes me feel uncomfortable.”
At the same time, this uncle is also an emotional person.
On the other hand, Ling Xing and others are also very talkative when they are together.
But in front of strangers, they all became silent as if they were possessed by Xiao Jingyu.
So when the uncle stopped talking, everyone fell into silence.
Lingxing, as their team leader, didn't want to continue in this awkward situation.
"Uncle, how long will it take?"
After finally waiting for someone to talk to him, the uncle responded positively.
"It's almost there, right in front. I heard from them that the fifth prince wants to build a ship today, so they should be storing the wood right now."
They got closer and closer, and indeed, just as the uncle said, Xiao Jingyi was here.
Because the closer they got, the louder the noise became, with one of the shouting voices standing out the most.
Anyone who knows him can tell that this is Xiao Jingyi's voice.
