Chapter 31: The Little Beggar

g against him for our own selfish gain. My underhanded schemes against the old man are merely infighting among accomplices.If he hadn't hidden himself so well, Master Xuan Yu wouldn't have gone to suc..."Reporting to the master."

Chang Wenkui gasped for breath, his face flushed with anger. "I ran all the way here, I have important news to report. When that bandit army passed through Wufeng County, it happened that the county magistrate and his family were out on a trip. The women in the magistrate's house were all beautiful, and they caught the eye of the bandits. The bandits became lustful and led their troops to chase after the magistrate's family. They didn't catch them, but ended up besieging Wufeng County. Even if he could capture Wufeng County, he wouldn't be able to arrive in time tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Wenkui spat angrily, his face full of disdain.

Two armies stealthily crossed the borders of Jiangzhou, one of them led by a general who was the scoundrel Zhang Wenkui mentioned.

This man's name is Wang Liu. He's a lecherous glutton who, because he's the prince's confidante, gets away with anything. He acts recklessly and has caused quite a stir in Yingnan County. People call him the "Bandit General".

He dared to act recklessly, even though it concerned the military strategy of the entire Donglu Army.

The water monkey, upon hearing this, cursed loudly, "Damn it! That son of a bitch will die in a woman's womb sooner or later!"

When Qin Sang heard this, he also had a headache. The county magistrate of Ning County was obviously capable. Although the garrison had been withdrawn, the civilian soldiers and yamen servants at the city gate had all received rigorous training.

We originally agreed to meet at dawn the day after tomorrow, with both armies attacking Henan County. It would have been foolproof. Now that Wang Liu has taken his troops to chase after women, our forces are weakened. What guarantee do we have of capturing the city

After the city was breached, did you still have the strength to quell the riotous civilians

> If I delay for a day, I'm afraid the news will leak.

Fixing his gaze on the city gates of Heining County for a long while, Qin Sang spat out a stalk of grass and said in a low voice, “If he doesn't want the credit for bringing it to our doorstep, then don't blame my brothers for eating alone. This time, we brothers have put in more effort to help General Mu capture Heining County. After the success, I will personally plead with the county princess on your behalf!”

Suddenly, there was chaos in the line of refugees on the road. A few refugees argued loudly and shoved each other, then were driven out of the soup kitchen by the servants of a wealthy landowner.

All the refugees along the road craned their necks to watch the spectacle, but no one dared to leave the line.

Qin Sang curiously looked around and discovered one side was made up of three strong and muscular men who looked similar, possibly brothers. The other side had seven people, both boys and girls, with the oldest boy looking to be thirteen or fourteen years old, though it's hard to say for sure in this era where poor children are often malnourished.

After listening for a while, Qin Sang also understood the discussions among the people around him.

These three burly men, calling themselves the Kong Brothers, have always relied on their brute strength to bully others. They never queue up for porridge and often use a broken bowl to cheat people. When they encounter the elderly or weak, they even steal their porridge.

Before wealthy and well-mannered households, they dare not act recklessly. But if the people distributing porridge are unwilling to interfere, they can get away with it.

These few children were targeted by them. They not only wanted to steal the porridge, but also wanted to take people.

With tasks at hand, Qin Sang usually wouldn't bother with such trivial matters. However, the boy leading the group was rather interesting, and he found himself looking at him several times more than necessary.

"My sister broke your bowl, we'll pay you for it, you can't take her away!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The little boy was guarding his younger siblings like a mother hen, with his arms outstretched protecting them. A dirty little girl was hiding behind him, sobbing uncontrollably. She must have been the one who broke the bowl.

Qin Sang had good eyesight. He saw that although the girl was covered in dirt, she was beautiful with features that were symmetrical and well-proportioned. She was only around ten years old. If she were cleaned up, she could be sold for a good price. No wonder those three men wanted to snatch her.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Bah!"

>

The eldest of the three brothers spat furiously, pointing at the shards on the ground under the porridge shed. "You don't know a thing! My bowl came from that black kiln…"

Lao San whispered, "Big Brother, Bai Yao, Bai Yao..."

"Aha! A bowl from Bai Yao! You urchins, do you know Bai Yao One bowl is worth hundreds of taels of silver. Selling all of you wouldn't be enough! I only want that little girl's piece, consider it a favor!"

The big boss looked at the little girl lustfully, "Little sister, follow me, I guarantee you'll have delicious food and drink. What fun is there with these kids who haven't even grown hair Haha..."

Three burly men laughed lecherously.

Several children were indignant, the little girl trembling with fear.

Qin Sang almost laughed out loud. Bai Yaos were the most valuable porcelain from the Sui Dynasty, all of which were tributes. Ordinary merchants weren't even eligible to use them, let alone a beggar using Bai Yao porcelain to beg for porridge.

Damn it!

The second brother took a sudden step forward, pressing his chest against the boy's face and snarled, "You little beggar, she's not your own sister, so what business is it of yours! Know your place and scram!"

Qin Sang narrowed her eyes. The man was holding a knife, pressing it against the boy's stomach.

Chang Wenkui, who hadn't rested yet, saw this and couldn't help but feel angry. He angrily said: "Master, these children are pitiful, should we do something about it"

Qin Sang turned her head and stared at Zhang Wenkui, coldly asking, "Should I call you Zhang Da Xia from now on How many poor people have you saved"

Zhang Wenkui's face suddenly turned pale, and he lowered his head, no longer daring to speak.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

To everyone's surprise, the boy stood completely unfazed with a knife pointed at him. He remained still, his head held high, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the burly man in front of him, shouting like he was mad.

“Fuck you! If you have the guts, stab me. Stab me to death! Take whoever you want!”

The second son was also startled by the boy's lunatic-like behavior. He instinctively took a step back, then became furious and embarrassed, not daring to draw his sword. Instead, he grabbed the boy’s collar and prepared to strike him.

The boy was also fierce, opening his mouth and biting.

Qin Sang whispered a word.

"Old Zhou!"

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

The water monkey understood instantly. It scrambled to its feet and leaped into their midst, shoving aside the strong man and tackling the boy, grabbing his face and crying and shouting, "Son! Son! It really is you! I'm your father! I'm your father!"

Qin Sang touched his forehead and muttered to himself, "What a talented person."

The boy reacted quickly, hugging the water monkey tightly and crying loudly, "Dad! I finally found you! Dad, why did you come so late..."

Everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of the water monkey. Before they could recover, they witnessed this scene of a father and son reuniting, and couldn't help but marvel at it.

Although Shuihouzi is only two years older than Qin Sang, with a thick layer of yellow mud on his face and superb acting skills, the 'father and son' cried passionately, leaving everyone unaware that it was all a performance.

Three burly men were a little dumbfounded, but seeing the water monkey with a broken arm, they started to get restless again.

Qin Sang nudged his mouth, and Zhang Wenkui, who had been eager to try, finally dared to move. He ran over in a few steps and stared fiercely at the three people, "Second brother! Really my nephew Nephew, don't be afraid, tell your uncle who bullied you, your uncle will avenge you!"

Zheng Kun also quietly crept over, unbuttoning his shirt to reveal the hilt of a dagger at his waist.

Seeing that there was no profit to be made, the three burly men cursed and walked away.
