When Zhang Xing arrived in the front yard, Sun Xingu Yu and a few others were there. Their faces were not very good-looking, their hair was dripping with water, their shoes were wet, and their clothes had not been changed. Talking around a boy with a blue nose and swollen face.

As soon as these people saw Zhang Xing coming in, they all stood up, and the kid who was drinking hot tea also put down the teacup, threw himself on the ground at once, and choked up: "Madam......"

Zhang Xing said to Sun Xin: "Steward Sun, hurry up and change your clothes, and don't catch a cold carefully." He turned his head to Mother You, who followed up, and said, "Mom asked the kitchen to cook a few bowls of ginger water and send them over." ”

Mother You answered and left, Sun Xin arched his fist and withdrew.

Gu Yu saw that Zhang Xing didn't touch herself, so she didn't move.

Zhang Xing sat down and said, "Don't kneel, it's not your fault for this." Du, shopkeeper, they are all right. ”

The kid was picked up by Gu Yu, bowed his head and returned: "Fortunately, the Red Lotus Sect group locked us up, although they were tortured, everyone is still alive." ”

Zhang Xing asked again, "What did they ask you to bring back?"

The boy's nose and face were already beaten, and he hung his head and said, "He, they asked us to send a thousand stones, otherwise, they will kill the shopkeeper and their lives." ”

Xiao Deyu couldn't help but gasp, and Xiao's mother couldn't help crying. Today's grain prices are higher than a year, and 1,000 stone of grain is enough for more than 1,000 people to eat for a year. This Red Lotus Sect is completely a lion's mouth, and it actually asks for so much food at once.

Zhang Xing nodded and said, "Even if you want food, it's not difficult." Did they say where to pay the grain for the people, and how to trade it?"

The boy replied, "Three days later." Swap over grain at Crow Ridge in the west of Gangneung City. ”

"Raven Ridge?" Zhang Xing muttered a few words. It was the first time she had heard of this place.

Gu Yu hurriedly interjected and said, "Crow Ridge is in the west of Jiangling City. Out of the city to the west, about Mo walked up a stick of incense. It's time to get there. There are crow's nests all over the mountain, and they can't stop screaming all day long, so the locals call it Crow Ridge. ”

Zhang Xing listened, thought for a while, shook his head again, frowned and said, "Three days can't work, the time is too tight." "Zhangji: In Jiangling, there are tea shops, jade shops, and commercial houses, but there are no grain shops. The Red Lotus Sect wants so much food. It can only be transferred from Yuxian.

Gu Yu stood up again and said, "Madam, why don't I go to Jiangling City and discuss with them, how many days will we be granted for the time being?"

Zhang Xingliang didn't say anything for a long time. Xiao's mother wanted to kneel out several times, but was stopped by Xiao Deyu.

"No, no, I'm afraid the Red Lotus Sect doesn't just want food......" Zhang Xing stood up suddenly, and her face turned pale. Staring at the kid, "How did you get here?"

The kid was frightened by Zhang Xing's appearance. Trembling said, "I, I'm walking back......"

Zhang Xing stared at him, "After you left the city, did you pay attention to your back?

The kid was stunned.

Zhang Xing's face turned even paler. The Red Lotus Sect had appeared in Jiangling for more than a day or two, and since they were able to ambush the county guard yamen and patrol battalions before, they must have a clear understanding of the situation in Jiangling City. Zhang Ji has a tea shop and jade shop in Jiangling, but there is no grain store, but they took people, and they wanted to exchange it for grain, and they also opened a thousand stones in one go, and the time limit was three days. How can you raise a thousand stone of grain in three days?

This is clearly not for food!

The kid they picked out to deliver the message, was beaten like this first, and his courage was probably frightened, and as soon as he was released, the first thing was to flee for his life in a panic, where did he still have the heart to pay attention to the changes around him, did he follow him?

Zhang Xing's heart was pounding. Everyone around her was frightened by her appearance. She had to quiet herself, turned her head to Gu Yu and said, "You go and invite Steward Sun." ”

Gu Yu was also a little stunned when he heard Zhang Xing's question behind him. They went out to find out the news this time. Because he didn't dare to go through the city gate, he got a small boat, propped it up to the vicinity of Gangneung City, and slipped into Gangneung City by water.

The situation in the city was even worse than the one outside, the Red Lotus Sect was arresting people everywhere, and there was no one to clean up the dead people lying on the ground, and the shops along the street were smashed. The doors of several shops in Zhangji were wide open, and the inside was smashed to pieces, and there was nothing of value left. Because they didn't know where Du Huiming would hide, they ran to several shops in the chapter. In the jade shop, he also bumped into the people of the Red Lotus Sect. In desperation, they had no choice but to jump into the river and slip away.

This time, I went on a trip and got nothing. Everyone felt that the shopkeeper Du and the others were more than lucky, who knew that on the way up the mountain, they met Qu Wu, who was released by the Red Lotus Sect to send a letter. Qu Wu was in a panic at the time, and he didn't even notice that they were behind him, if he was really being followed by the Red Lotus Sect, then wouldn't he be able to follow one another?

Gu Yu went to invite Sun Xin. Zhang Xing asked Qu Wu some more things, and became more and more sure that things were not good.

Sun Xin came soon, and on the way here, Gu Yu revealed to him that the Red Lotus Sect might follow the mountain, and Sun Xin was also startled. As soon as he came in, he asked Zhang Xing, "Madam, will the Red Lotus Sect really follow the mountain?"

Zhang Xing nodded and said solemnly: "Eighty percent is yes." I also asked Steward Sun to make arrangements as soon as possible. ”

Sun Xin couldn't help but swallow his saliva, nodded heavily, and said, "I'll leave it to a few of us outside, Madame, please go to the inner courtyard." As long as I am still breathing, I will never let the people of the Red Lotus Sect step into this Zhuangzi for half a step!"

Zhang Xing shook his head and said: "It's the same everywhere, since the Red Lotus Sect can follow the mountain, how can it be prepared to make a show and leave? There will be no movement outside, maybe their people are still on the way, we have to hurry up and save our lives first." ”

Xiao's mother's face was already a dead ash, she saw Zhang Xing nodding before, and her heart was still full of hope, which would completely extinguish this hope, and she didn't dare to cry again. The people of the Red Lotus Sect are all looking for here, everyone in this courtyard is in danger, what hope does her family have?

Xiao's mother whimpered and fell backwards.

Xiao Deyu and Du Huiming's son Du Yeping stood next to Xiao's mother, and the two hurriedly helped them, so that no one fell to the ground.

Zhang Xing looked at them. Du Yeping is thirteen years old this year, and he used to have a sister above, but he didn't have it in the big water a few years ago. The Du family signed the deed signed by the whole family, Xiao's mother followed Zhang Xing to serve, and Du Yeping followed his father to learn to take care of Zhang Ji's shop in Jiangling.

Zhang Xing paused, and whispered to Du Yeping: "How relieved and comforting your mother are, even if we leave here, there will be no accident on Du's side for a while, and the people of the Red Lotus Sect have not yet caught something, so they will not be poisoned." ”

Du Yeping nodded, and said with red eyes: "I know." ”

The people in Zhuangzi have already come over, and only a few people around Zhang Xing know about the Red Lotus Sect coming here. For fear of causing panic, Sun Xin didn't even say anything about his brother, only saying that this place was too close to Jiangling, and they had to leave overnight for fear that the people from the Red Lotus Sect would come over.

Most people don't know about it, but that doesn't stop people from guessing. After all, it's going to be dark, and even if you want to leave, you won't pick this time. The mountains are no better than the countryside and fields, and the mountain roads are not easy to walk during the day, let alone when it is dark, and if you accidentally step on the air, you will have to go to half your life if you don't die.

Sun Xin looked at the group of worried faces in front of him, and he didn't have a bottom in his heart. As Zhang Xing said, if the Red Lotus Sect comes, it will definitely not leave as a pretense. Although these brothers he brought with him were all good hands, they couldn't stand up to the crowd. When he was ordered to come here, he promised the big boss that he would ensure that his aunt and grandmother were safe.

But tonight's experience may not be passable.

Thinking of this, Sun Xin looked back at Zhang Xing. She was surrounded by several girls in the middle, her face was calm, and she couldn't see the slightest panic and fear.

Sun Xin's heart suddenly froze, and he secretly screamed ashamed. Things haven't come to that point yet, and he was frightened, and he was not as good as a girl.

He settled down, slowly looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Now that Jiangling has fallen into the hands of the Red Lotus Sect, although we have left Jiangling, this place is still too close to Jiangling, just in case, after we agreed with our wife, we decided to leave tonight." Although the night road in the mountains is not easy to walk, it is better than losing your life!"

Zhang Xing looked around quietly, Sun Xin finished speaking, and arranged a trip with Du Yeping. Xiao Deyu came over quietly and said in a low voice, "Everything is in order." ”

Zhang Xing's heart was relieved and nodded. The goods of several shops in Jiangling have been pulled into the village here. People can walk, things can't. She didn't want to cheapen the Red Lotus Sect, so she asked Xiao Deyu and Gu Yu to lead a few steady boys and move things to the secret vault.

Everything was cleaned up, and Zhang Xing was about to get into the carriage when he saw a small guy stumbling over, panting and shouting, "Oh no, the people from the Red Lotus Sect are here." ”

A group of girls who were about to go out screamed in panic. Sun Xin shouted, "What are you calling blindly?Do you want to send a message to the Red Lotus Sect?Tell them that they are here?" After speaking, he pulled out the knife on his waist. The girls didn't dare to speak out anymore, and Suo Suo trembled with fright.

Sun Xin glanced to the side, and the two guards behind him immediately stepped forward and stood guard in front of the female dependents. Sun Xin picked up the little guy and asked, "Do you see clearly?"

The little guy nodded hurriedly and said, "It was Yu Ye who asked the little one to come over and report the news." ”

Yu Datou was sent by Sun Xin to the front to find out the news, since he let the news come over, it must be wrong, the people of the Red Lotus Sect really used the trick of luring the snake out of the hole.

Sun Xin looked up at Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xingzheng strode over, his face was calm, he looked at the little guy, then at Sun Xin, and said, "Steward Sun should hurry up and take someone to the front, there is me here." ”

Sun Xinsu nodded, then waved his hand, shouted "go", and hesitated to the front with more than a dozen nursing homes. (To be continued......)
