"PS: I was so sleepy last night, I thought I could stick to the codeword, but I fell asleep in the chair again, sorry, sorry."

———— the following text————

On the fourth day of the seventh month, the day after Ishihara, Yang Kang, and others quietly left the camp with 200 county soldiers at night, the main force of the crusading officers and soldiers led by Ma Gai personally began training on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain east of Yingshan, as if training the officers and men of the crusade in coordinated combat.

When they got the news, whether it was Yang Tong, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Guo Da, Liu Heimu and others, or Chen Zu, Chu Jiao, Zhang Feng and other Bazhai owners who came to help, they all stood in the open space outside the old village of Heihu Village and watched the bottom of the mountain, wondering what the hell the group of people in Magai at the bottom of the mountain were doing.

I have to say that at this time, the atmosphere in the Black Tiger Village is still relatively solemn, and almost everyone is on guard against the surprise attack of the officers and soldiers, after all, this time there is no mountain forest protection under the old village of the Black Tiger Village, so as long as there is negligence for half an hour, the officers and soldiers under the mountain may be able to directly attack the Black Tiger Village.

However, will Ma Gai raid the Black Tiger Village?

Not necessarily!

At least at present, Ma Gai does not dare, after all, he still has the handle in the hands of Yang Tong and Guo Da, in the current situation that Black Tiger Village has a laissez-faire attitude towards him and forces him to do anything that violates his conscience and principles, Ma Gai does not want to tear his face with Black Tiger Village, because as long as Black Tiger Village publishes his confession to the public, he will definitely lose everything he has.

But this secret, only five people in the entire Black Tiger Village know, these five people are Yang Tong, Zhao Yu, Guo Da, Chen Mo, and Wang Qing.

On that day, Ma Gai really did not give the order to attack the mountain.

Even at night, Ma Gai had no intention of sending troops to sneak attack, so that people like Zhang Feng, Ma Hong, Wang Qing and other night watchmen wasted their efforts.

Of course, Wang Qing was in the know, and he had decided from the beginning that Ma Gai would not come to attack at night, so when the bandits under him looked nervously guarded, he lay on his legs and slept by the campfire, this calmness made the bandits who saw it from the side quite admired.

In the next two days, that is, on the fifth and sixth days of the first month, Ma Gai continued to delay time by training troops under the mountain, which made the rest of the Bazhai owners in the Black Tiger Village who seemed to be Chen Zu, Chu Jiao, Zhang Feng and others who brought people to help.

They had a vague sense that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell.

Until the daylight of the seventh day of the first lunar month, several bandits hurried to the Black Tiger Village and revealed Ma Gai's true intentions.

These thieves are the cottages under Sun Yi, one of the other owners of Bazhai Village, when he saw them, Sun Yi could still wonder and asked them: "Can you wait to stay in the village, what are you doing here?" ”

When the thieves heard this, they immediately explained: "Boss, something happened, the cottage of Zhang Feng and Ma Hong, the two owners of the village, was destroyed!" ”

"What?"

At that time, Sun Yi didn't react for a while, and asked with a frown: "By whom?" ”

"Who else can it be? By officers and soldiers. ”

The thieves explained: "The day before yesterday, about after dawn, some brothers in the village saw that Zhang Feng and Ma Hong's cottage was on fire at the same time, and they wondered in their hearts. ”

“……”

Sun Yi opened his mouth, stunned on the spot, and after a while, he slapped his thigh in annoyance: "Damn it! We've all been tricked by that horse! ”

He immediately asked to see Yang Tong and told Yang Tong about it.

In fact, Yang Tong had known about this matter for a long time, after all, using the power of Ma Gai to integrate the group of gangsters in the eastern part of Yingshan, this was in itself a strategy that he discussed with Zhao Yu and Guo Da, but in front of Sun Yi, he still had to pretend not to know, and immediately convened the owners of the village to discuss countermeasures.

In the big house, Yang Tong told the story in front of the rest of the Bazhai owners, and the faces of Zhang Feng and Ma Hong suddenly became extremely ugly.

Didn't you say attacking the Black Tiger Village? Our cottage suffered first?

Zhang Feng's eyes widened on the spot and he asked eagerly: "Sun Yi, what your subordinates said is the truth?" If you play tricks on me, I will not spare you! ”

"I'm full and holding on to play with you? At present, Lao Tzu's cottage may not be able to be saved. Sun Yi scolded angrily, and immediately said to Yang Tong: "Lord Yangzhai, the matter is urgent, please allow me to take the brothers back to the village to see what is going on, and see if there is really an army of officers and soldiers in the mountains." …… Zhang Feng and Ma Hong, do you two want to come with me? ”

Zhang Feng and Ma Hong were anxious about their cottage and immediately agreed.

In this way, the three of them ignored the persuasion of the rest of the people, and immediately left the Black Tiger Village with people.

During this period, Yang Tong also opened his mouth to persuade the three of them to be calm and not to be impatient, but unfortunately Zhang Feng, Ma Hong, and Sun Yi did not listen.

However, Yang Tong was not in a hurry, after all, in his opinion, these three people would have to return to his Black Tiger Village sooner or later.

Sending Zhang Feng, Ma Hong, Sun Yi and others away from the cottage, Yang Tong returned to the big house with the rest of the Wuzhai owners.

The behavior of Zhang Feng, Ma Hong, and Sun Yi was impatient in the eyes of the rest of the village owners, but it was undeniable that because they learned that Zhang Feng and Ma Hong's cottage was suspected of being destroyed by a group of officers and soldiers, the rest of the village owners were also a little restless.

For example, Chu Jiao, his righteous son Chu Yan secretly said to him: "Father, the cottage of Zhang Feng and Ma Hong is only forty miles away from our cottage, if there is really a force of officers and soldiers there, I am afraid that the village will not be able to stop ......"

"Hmm."

Chu Jiao pressed his hand to show that Yizi was calm for a while, and turned his attention to the discussion in the big house again, especially the conversation between Chen Zu and Yang Tong.

Chen Zu said with a calm face: "If the stockade of Zhang Feng, Ma Hong, Sun Yi and others is really attacked by officers and soldiers, it means that we have been tricked by Ma Gai." …… I wondered, this Ma Gai has obviously recruited a lot of manpower, but in the past few days, he has been doing some tricks under the mountain, and now I understand that he is taking the opportunity to cut off the rest of the villages......"

Speaking of which, Chen Zu is still relatively calm at the moment, after all, his cottage is located in the north of Yingshan Mountain, on the side facing Runan County, if Ma Gai wants to send officers and soldiers to attack his cottage, it will basically have to pass through the rest of the villages, and it will be his turn almost the last one.

The rest of the village owners were not as calm as Chen Zu, they were restless one by one, eager to immediately bring their brothers back to their cottages, lest the cottages be destroyed by officers and soldiers.

But they didn't know how to raise this matter to Yang Tong, after all, no matter how they looked at it, it was still the situation on the side of Black Tiger Village that was the most dangerous.

However, what they didn't expect was that they didn't know how to mention it, but someone helped them mention it, and this person was none other than Yang Tong himself.

I saw that Yang Tong struggled for a moment with a calm face, and then said: "Don't be impatient, and wait for Zhang Feng, Ma Hong, and Sun Yi to send the news, if Ma Gai really sends officers and soldiers to try to exterminate your cottage first, you will immediately bring people back to your respective cottages, and Yang will never stop you, nor will you hold a grudge against you." ”

"So what do we do? There are still nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers at the foot of our mountain. ”

Liu Heimu was worthy of Yang Tong's special treatment of him these days, and asked in a low voice.

Under the gaze of the rest of the village owners, Yang Tong said in a deep voice: "Having said that, Yang can't watch the cottages of the rest of the village owners being attacked by officers and soldiers in order to take care of our cottage. …… If it really doesn't work, let's abandon the old village and flee to the new village......"

From the side, Guo Da showed a look of astonishment very cooperatively, and stopped: "Boss, the new village has not been built yet......"

"Then hurry up and build!" Yang Tong said in a deep voice.

"The old village ...... thing"

In front of everyone, Yang Tong interrupted Guo Da's words with a wave of his hand, and said righteously: "I have made up my mind, you can do it!" ”

Seeing Guo Da and Liu Heimu looking at each other, their faces showed a little embarrassment, and the rest of the cottage owners had a good impression of Yang Tong.

"Yang Zhai is righteous!"

For a while, compliments to Yang Tong sounded in the big house.

The only exception is probably Wang Qing, who looked at this scene with a smile.

That demeanor, not to mention that Guo Da was a little frightened, even Zhao Yu was a little worried, for fear that this guy would not be able to hide the secret, and suddenly revealed the secret.

Fortunately, although Wang Qing has a relatively jumpy temperament, he also understands the stakes of things, and will not do such stupid things that harm others and himself.

From the side, Chen Mo was calm and calm from beginning to end, without saying a word.

The next day, when Zhao Yu was still asleep with Jing Nu in her arms, suddenly, Jing Nu heard a banging on the door outside the house.

Immediately, Guo Da's voice came from outside the house: "Ah Hu, Ah Hu, are you awake?" I came in. ”

Hearing this, Jingnu's face turned pale with fright, after all, she had taken off her coat at this time, if Guo Da broke in, wouldn't she see through the secret of her body as a daughter?

Fortunately, Jingnu is careful in her work, and she will bolt the door of the house with a bolt every night before going to bed, so that Guo Da will not be able to enter for a while.

In order to prevent Guo Da from breaking in with brute force, she hurriedly responded: "Is it Guo Da's big brother outside the house?" ”

"It's Ah Jing?"

Hearing Jingnu's voice, Guo Da stopped and continued to knock on the door, and shouted outside the house: "Ah Jing, help me call Ah Hu up, I have something urgent to find him." ”

"Okay." Jingnu answered, and hurriedly woke up Zhao Yu.

may be because of the relationship between being in the thief's den, Zhao Yu also slept more alertly, and was immediately woken up by Jingnu, and learned from her that Guo Da was waiting for him outside the house.

"Guo Da is in such a hurry to find me?"

After the two of them put on their clothes, Zhao Yu opened the door of the house, and sure enough, he saw Guo Da standing outside the house with his arms crossed and frowning.

"Brother Guo Da? What's wrong? He said hello.

"Ah Hu." Guo Da looked up and saw Zhao Yu, and immediately walked over, and said in a low voice: "Something happened, Sun Yi died, Zhang Feng and Ma Hong were both injured and returned......"

"What?" Zhao Yu frowned: "I just got up, my head is a little messy, who did Brother Guo Da say died?" ”

Seeing this, Guo Dayuan explained locally: "Yesterday, didn't Sun Yi, Zhang Feng, and Ma Hong leave the cottage with their people and go back to their respective cottages to check the situation? They were ambushed by officers and soldiers halfway through. …… According to Zhang Feng's explanation, at that time, the officers and soldiers were ambushed outside Sun Yi's cottage, and when Sun Yi's group of people passed by, those officers and soldiers suddenly killed, and Sun Yi was killed on the spot; Zhang Feng and Ma Hong heard the shouting and killing, and took their men to help Sun Yi, but they were killed and retreated by the officers and soldiers, and Zhang Feng and Ma Hong were also injured......"

He paused, then lowered his voice and said, "The man surnamed Ma betrayed us. ”

“……”

Looking at Guo Da, who had a faint angry face, Zhao Yu was thoughtful.
