Chapter 362: Strange Things
The battle in Shanghe County lasted for nearly an hour, and Liu Zhi just stood in the dark night, anxiously waiting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Peng Jin also accompanied him and stood quietly beside Liu Zhi.
Outside, she couldn't help Liu Shi much, so she could only accompany him silently and silently encourage and support him.
It wasn't until the signal flare of the end of the battle was raised on the side of Shanghe County that Liu Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"How's the battle going?" Peng Jin opened her mouth to ask, she only knew a little about the special communication methods between Liu Zhi and Boss An and others, and at this time, after looking at this signal flare, in addition to knowing that the battle was over, she couldn't figure out what news was transmitted.
"The losses are not big, and the casualties are small." Liu Zhi said with a smile, "But the specific situation will not be known until the second child and they come back." ”
"That's good." Peng Jin exhaled a breath with a brisk smile on his face.
"Hurry up and go back to the house to rest, it's so late, and I want you to stay here with me." Liu Shi grabbed Peng Jin's shoulders, wrapped her in his arms, and hugged her and turned around and walked to the inner room.
"How can there be 'half dead in front of the warrior army' and 'singing and dancing under the beauties'." The big stone in his heart was moved, and Peng Jin couldn't help but joke.
Liu Shi laughed when he heard this, and said seriously: "The allusion of the lady is a clever trick, and it is very appropriate!" ”
The husband and wife hugged each other all the way into the inner room and slept in their clothes.
The next day, there are more follow-up matters to be taken care of, and it takes a lot of energy.
said that he was resting, but in fact, Liu Zhi only closed his eyes slightly, and was woken up by Peng Yongxin and Peng Yu, who heard the news.
Anyway, with something in his heart, Liu Zhi couldn't calm down and sleep, so he simply got up and dressed neatly, and told Peng Jin a few words to go out to discuss important matters with Peng Yongxin and Peng Yu.
The lights were turned in in the antechamber, and the three of them sat down.
"I just heard that Shanghe County was attacked, how is the situation?" Peng Yu was anxious, and before he could sit down, he hurriedly asked.
"The losses are not big, and the casualties are small." Liu Shi said with a smile, "Be well prepared in advance, if a thief wants to bargain, I'm afraid it's not easy." It's just that the specific situation will not be known until people return from Shanghe County. ”
Peng Yongxin nodded and admonished: "Although this is the case, it is still necessary to inform Liang Zhixian to continue to strengthen precautions." ”
The bandits of Guanyin Mountain have always been greedy for money and profit, and they are ruthless, and they have suffered such a big loss this time, and there may be no possibility of a comeback.
Liu Zhi nodded and replied, "The letter has already been transmitted." Not only Shanghe County must strengthen its vigilance, but Honghe County's garrison must also not be relaxed. ”
As for the other surrounding counties, they have always been on strict alert immediately during the harvest season to prevent the bandits of Guanyin Mountain from attacking, and there is no need for him to send a special reminder.
Peng Yongxin nodded and praised with a smile: "You are becoming more and more thoughtful now." ”
"Father's praise." Liu Shi smiled embarrassedly, "I still have a lot to learn from my father and eldest brother!" ”
Peng Yu on the side joked: "Yo, I, a mountain tea farmer, don't know that you are 'learning' from the county lord!" ”
"Big brother, you're here to tease me too!" Liu Shi said with a smile.
Peng Yu was about to joke again, but Peng Yongxin interrupted him: "Okay, you're still a big brother, you don't have a proper shape!" That's getting down to business! ”
"Father, you can protect him!" Peng Yu said sourly, which made Peng Yongxin and Liu Shi couldn't help laughing.
was smiling, Zhang Minghua, who got the news, also came over, and the four of them had a detailed discussion and plan on the specific matters in the future.
It wasn't until the east was white that the four stopped talking.
After a brief freshening up and having breakfast, Liu Zhi went to the fields to see if all the rice had been harvested, to see the preparation of the late rice, and to see where the canals and reservoirs still needed to be dug or maintained.
Who knew that as soon as he arrived at the door, Li Lao Er came back.
Liu Zhi entrusted all the field inspection affairs to Zhang Minghua and Wu Bin, the new chief bookkeeper, while he himself stayed to listen to Li Laoer's report on the battle situation of the sneak attack on Shanghe County by the bandits in Guanyin Mountain last night.
"Sure enough, as the third master expected, that gang of thieves held back for so long, and in the end, they couldn't hold it back and went down the mountain to loot." Li Lao Er talked about yesterday, and he was still very excited, "We were patrolling near the 'granary', and suddenly there was a fire in the southwest corner, and everyone was busy fighting the fire, and the gang of thieves took advantage of the chaos to sneak attack!"
However, they certainly did not expect that the granary was piled up not with new grain, but with straw poured with fire oil! They are just digging a pit to bury themselves!
Let's pretend to put out the fire, but in fact, we are secretly paying attention to their movements!
After a pretended struggle, we pretended to be invincible, retreated in a panic, and retreated outside the circle of fire.
As soon as our men withdrew, we immediately set fire to the granary, and then blocked the perimeter, and killed the thieves who escaped on the spot, or tied them up, and wiped them all out!
The thieves should still have foreign aid, but seeing our ruthless methods, they didn't dare to come forward to help, and after watching for a while, they all escaped smartly!
Third master, we have won a big victory this time! ”
When Li Lao Er talked about the excitement, he couldn't help but feel the wind under his feet, and even said with a comparison, and he couldn't wait to play another set of tricks to have fun!
When Liu Shi heard Li Lao Er say this, he knew that Xingu, who had moved elsewhere in advance and was heavily guarded, had no loss, so he was relieved.
"Great work, big guy! Thanks a lot! Liu Shi stood up and hugged his fist at Li Lao Er to thank him.
Li Lao Er hurriedly returned the salute with his fists, and said urgently: "Don't deserve it!" Deserved! ”
"How can you be so bad!" Liu Shi said solemnly, "It was you who used your body as bait, regardless of your life, resisted the thieves, and protected the people and food." If you don't deserve it, who else can! ”
Li Lao Er scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, to be able to get this praise from the third master, it was worth the hard work!
"By the way, did you catch it alive?" Liu Shi frowned and asked about business.
"Speaking of which, I just have a strange thing to report to the third master." Li Lao Er said solemnly, "I really caught a few of them, but I was only interrogated, and before I even got on the torture tools, those people took advantage of our unpreparedness, threw themselves on the sword, and committed suicide." ”
"Killed yourself?!" Liu Zhi was stunned.
Li Lao Er nodded.
That's weird.
The bandits talk about righteousness, this Liu Zhi can understand, but no matter how righteous he is, in order to avoid exposing his own situation, at the beginning of the interrogation, when he has not yet been tortured, he directly committed suicide with a knife!
It's not like a bandit, it's like a dead man!
Liu Zhi was shocked by his own guess, if these people were really dead soldiers, then who were these dead soldiers loyal to? And how many such dead soldiers are there on Guanyin Mountain? What is the purpose of those who raise these dead soldiers?
