281.

Yue'er went back here to prepare, and Liu Jianye's news was much faster than her side, especially in the south, the beggar gang had not yet grown up here, although Yue'er had sent people over there these days, especially looking for the few people Liu Jianye said, but after all, they were taking the ordinary route, and they couldn't compare with other people's official roads, but Song Chengwu wrote to them at this time.

Roughly described the situation in the south, after all, he was a businessman, and he didn't understand some things too clearly, but there was a sentence that I didn't know if it was written deliberately or unintentionally, the war in the south didn't seem to be as fierce as before, I heard that there was something wrong with the Chu side, but what it was, he had no way of knowing.

"What does he mean by this, could it be that the Chu State is going to withdraw its troops?"

It was difficult for Yue'er to understand what this meant, her face was full of doubts, and she was analyzing and explaining sentence by sentence looking at the words on the letter.

"Uncle means that the Chu State seems to be decreasing its troops, otherwise there is no way to explain the fact that the battlefield has changed and stopped, so can we understand it this way, something happened to the Chu State, and these people either don't have enough food and grass or people withdraw to solve this matter?

It stands to reason that there should be no shortage of grain and grass in the south at present, and now it is summer, so the grain and grass will be more sufficient, and there is another possibility, maybe the three princes sent people to succeed in the Chu State, but it should not burn too much, and the people of Chu are not fools, so there must be this reason.

But in my opinion, this is definitely not the reason for the Chu * team to slow down, then there is another possibility-"

Yue'er hadn't said it yet, and Lao Wu had already guessed what she wanted to say, "That is to say, the army of Chu State may be like Yebei, and will also send an army over to prepare for the encirclement process, as long as their group of men and horses reach a certain position, then the northern and southern armies will probably speed up their attack, and they will also paralyze us by doing so."

Damn, these people are too cunning, if Song Chengwu hadn't written this letter, I'm afraid we would still be in the dark.

I'm going to go to Liu Jianye and ask him to tell the above, I will let the brothers of the beggar gang get ready, whether they come or not, we have to prepare with both hands, if there is really that day, I am afraid that the brothers of the beggar gang will not be able to escape this life and death, it is better to go out and fight with them. ”

Lao Wu left, Yue'er packed up her things and sat in the house thinking about the things before and after, the more she thought about it, she was afraid in her heart, this situation was no longer something that a few of them could support, and now I am afraid that the royal family should not be able to sleep.

The problem is that if she really thinks like them, she can't take care of anything else now, she can only take care of Jianye County first, and her parents, family, relatives and friends are all there.

As for where the armies of these two countries will meet and where they will attack in the future, she really can't think of it, and now her throat and eyes are like a fire, and she always wants to drink water.

Peach Blossom Village has received news from Chen Wendong since he heard that Gao Mancang can't even sleep well these days, and he is now worried that if this thing becomes true, what will happen, the old and young in the village.

"Village chief, someone from the yamen has come to fence off the farm opened by Du Gongzi, saying that they want to requisition their horses and cattle, do you need to go over and have a look?"

Chen Duwang ran in with a bumpy run, and his face became rosy because of the fast running, since the Yue'er and their family moved away, and by the way, they also left their family with life-saving food, and the conditions at home are getting better and better day by day.

The wages earned by his son, and his daughter-in-law also learned to weave with Bai Xiumei, and there is hope in this family now more than ever, so he has a unique life now.

"What's going on? The yamen came to collect horses and cattle, what did the Li family say? ”

Du Huairen didn't come over, basically the people on the Li family's side helped manage it, and Du Gongzi over there also found a lot of people to come over to help, not to mention this farm, it has been getting bigger and bigger in the past two years, and those people are okay to take the horses out to slip around, and everyone is used to it.

Chen Duwang panted and shook his head, "Who knows, anyway, our family Wendong said at the beginning, let us cooperate with the affairs of the government, this is also for the Golden Dragon Kingdom to win the battle, but the farm seems to be unhappy, and the people from the Yamen are in conflict." ”

Gao Mancang's wife didn't quite understand, "When did this yamen do the Ming robbery, this is Du Gongzi's own private property, this doesn't cost money to ask for things, and it's no different from robbers?" ”

Although Gao Mancang had some doubts in his heart, what Chen Duwang's son said when he came back was still in his ears, he always felt that the people in the yamen would not do this for no reason, and there might be something going on here.

turned around and scolded his wife, "Don't be nonsense there, I don't know what's going on here, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Gao Mancang went out to take a look, where are the people of the yamen, the officers of the county government are not like this, this is obviously the militia and the defenders in the city.

Especially Fan Jiang, he has seen this person, and he is still a big man with the second child of Chen Duwang's family.

Seeing that the village chief was coming, Fan Jiang and the people on the defender's side showed him a letter from the prefect, although he didn't know if it was written by the prefect, but the official seal was really stamped on it.

"Well, I know about this, I'll go and tell them, if you don't agree, you will take people away directly, this is an extraordinary time, we all have to cooperate with the government and the army."

Gao Mancang communicated with him in the past, but the other party's attitude was very tough, especially those helpers, all of them were fierce and vicious, and they almost drew their knives to fight with these people.

Fan Jiang watched coldly from the side for a long time, he always felt that these people were a little unusual, how to say it, because he came down from the battlefield, and his perception was more sensitive than ordinary people.

These people seem to have the same thing on them, that is, murderous aura, he is much better now, but these people are different, especially the eyes, as if a wolf is staring at its prey.

The hand holding the knife couldn't help but tighten, I don't know why, when he saw this look, he felt as if he had seen an enemy, which he hadn't felt like this for many years.

Pulling over with him, the leader of the defenders whispered to the other party for a while.

"What? True or fake? ”

Fan Jiangke was a little anxious, "Whether this thing is true or not, it can only be regarded as true for the sake of insurance, if you don't believe it, you can observe it carefully." ”

After saying that, he secretly called the people around him, bowed his head and whispered a few words, the leader of the defenders looked at it in disbelief, not to mention what Fan Jiang said, he also felt it.

Especially the unique evil aura on the other party, which is not something ordinary people can have, even if the other party is not a spy, he is definitely not a good person.

Besides, the other party's appearance, he can't say why anyway, it's just different from the people on their side, although this person's appearance can't be exactly the same, the regional difference is still a little, but this nose is too obvious, a little more special than them.

Immediately he also whispered a few words to the people he brought, and the people who watched the excitement over there were a little dumbfounded, after all, this was an officer and soldier openly robbing people's cattle and horses, and no one could accept this matter.

In the face of these ordinary people who don't know the truth, Fan Jiang can only patiently explain to everyone, "Everyone, the prefect said this, I will settle this account with Du Gongzi when I go back, we didn't requisition their horses and cattle for nothing, let's disperse, a few of you go over and count the number, make a register and bring it back." ”

Originally, Gao Mancang tried his best to convince the other party, but when the people inside heard that the officers and soldiers were going to come in and take away the horses and cattle, their eyes couldn't help but show a hideous look.

Gao Mancang didn't mistake this flash of anger, and took a few steps back in fright, but Rao was like this, and the other party didn't let go of the old village chief.

As soon as the long arm stretched out, he directly grabbed Gao Mancang in front of him, and shouted angrily at the officers and soldiers who were about to rush in, "I see which of you dares, this person is still in my hands, and you will all return to me-"

The other people in the farm saw that the other party had acted, and they wanted to take out the matter, but there was an order from the military leader and Fan Jiang here, and the people who were guarding around saw that the situation was wrong, and the knives in their hands had already been driven to the shoulders and necks of the other party, even if they wanted to resist, but there were several knives on this neck, even if they were not satisfied, they could only be obediently and honestly.

The shape of this scene suddenly reversed, which made the people watching the excitement dumbfounded in an instant, especially the old village chief who let the family hold the knife hostage, and the big guys couldn't help but take a few steps back.

But then I remembered that it was their village chief, and this person was about to attack Gao Mancang, and the people who patrolled in the village saw that the situation was not right here, so they hurried over. 、

Chen Wendong squinted his eyes and observed, hiding behind a big tree, wrenching his bow and arrows, and staring at the person who forced the village chief with a knife in the distance.

This time, not only the people in the village, but even Fan Jiang and the others were confused by this sudden situation, they didn't expect that the other party would take the village chief as a hostage.

"Okay, okay, let's not move, you let the village chief go-"

The other party snorted coldly, retreated to the side of a horse with Gao Mancang, and just wanted to slaughter Gao Mancang with a knife, at this critical moment, an arrow came suddenly without warning, and the opponent's shoulder was hit by an arrow, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

The people who were watching from the side suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Fan Jiang and they wanted to rush over and take down this person, but they didn't expect that even if the other party was hit by an arrow, they were also good at it, and after kicking a few people close to them, they turned over and patted the horse's back, and the horse rushed over the fence towards the mountain like an arrow off the string.

This series of actions was done in one go, and when Chen Wendong's second arrow was shot, it only hit the back of the horse's buttocks, which made the horse run faster, and in a blink of an eye, the man and the horse disappeared into the vast forest.

"What should I do, send someone to chase after me?"

Fan Jiang glanced at the people here with some suspicion, "I have all tied them up and brought them back, village chief, someone knows the road in this mountain, send someone to search it, I am worried that this person is a secret agent, otherwise he would not have done such an excesse." ”

"Dad, how are you?"

Gao Mancang's three sons saw that their father was out of the tiger's mouth, and hurriedly ran over to check if he was injured.

Gao Mancang now has a feeling that he is back in the world, just now he thought that he was really going to report to the Hades Eye.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just scared, this little rabbit cub, even an old man like me wants to be hurt, so it can be seen that it's not a good one.

Boss, you take the military master to search, it is better to catch it, if you can't catch you, don't go deeper, there are many beasts in that place now. ”

The military leader led people into the mountain with Gao Jiabao and other patrol members, and the others stayed in place to count the horses, cattle and sheep, and by the way, the people who were tied up were directly gagged and tied together.

Gao Mancang looked at Chen Wendong who came over with a bow and arrow with a grateful face, and patted him on the shoulder with a big hand, "Good boy, I really have you, I didn't expect you to come back and save my life." ”

Fan Jiang saw that his deputy was coming, and slammed him with his fist, "Yes, good job, I thought you couldn't catch up, I was really startled just now."

Old village chief, I'm really sorry to let you be involved this time, but this incident also reminds everyone, this bad guy has no words engraved on the top of his head, and if there are strangers in the village in the future, the big guys should be vigilant, don't be confused by their appearance. ”

The people who stood on the side and had just recovered from the tense atmosphere said one after another, "We sympathized with them just now, who knew it would be like this, don't worry, we will definitely not sympathize with them casually in the future, these people are simply devils, the village chief has talked to them and discussed, he actually attacked the village chief and his old man, this person should give him an arrow to kill......

There are different opinions, the number of these livestock in the farm is far more than Fan Jiang and their imagination, don't look at the usual big group of them, but after all, this farm spans two villages, such a large piece of land, everyone usually doesn't have the time to count.

"Huh? There are so many, to say that they are fine, even I don't believe it, this is not just a matter of quantity, I feel that equipping an army is not a problem. ”

Now Fan Jiang and the others don't dare to say anything else, because the scene that happened just now made the hearts of men, women, and children still uneasy, and the enemy has lived under their noses for so long, they almost treat the bad guys as good guys.

"Brother Fan, take the big guy here for a quick meal."

Fan Jiang shook his head, "Village chief, I understand your kindness, there are so many horses and prisoners, I have to take them back quickly and report to the prefect, we will have a chance in the future, and the village will also pay attention to safety in the future, let's go first." ”
