Chapter 129: Braised Pork
Dozens of short Dian horses galloped on the soft grass by the river, although the speed was not fast, but the momentum was so impressive that several literati who faced the horses couldn't help but change color.
"Boom ......"
It was not until he was only seven or eight paces away that the knight at the head shouted loudly, strangled the reins with force, and the horse neighed and raised its front hooves, spun in place, and lowered its head with a snort.
"You are the Zhejiang Patrol?" The tall old woman, with a faint gray head, lifted her legs and dismounted, looking at the only middle-aged man who did not retreat.
"Zhejiang Inspector Wu Baipeng visited Mrs. Wa." Wu Baipeng, who once surrounded Yangzhou in the Japanese Invaders, galloped for hundreds of miles to help, and led the army to attack boldly, obviously has a courage rarely seen in ordinary civil officials.
"It's like a capable one, don't be a good thing!" The eyes on Old Lady Wa's tired face were full of anger, and she strode forward a few steps, "When will you settle in Suzhou?" ”
Although he had the courage, Wu Baipeng also knew that things were going wrong, so he took two steps back with a dry smile, "Your Excellency the Governor has ordered that Old Lady Wa lead the army to move to Jiaxing Mansion." ”
Mrs. Wa was so angry that her face turned pale, "I don't understand this rule, could it be that the official rank of the prefect of Suzhou is above the governor!?" ”
Before Wu Baipeng could explain a few words, a middle-aged civil official behind him had already raised his voice and said, "That's because the Governor is sensible and knows right and wrong." ”
The dozens of wolf soldier leaders behind Mrs. Wa were not kind in their eyes, and even two of them had already touched the handle of the knife, all of them were the ghosts of this Suzhou prefect!
From Yangzhou along the river to the east, where the wolf soldiers passed, not only the government, the gentry, and even the ordinary people regarded it as poison, all the way through Jiangyin and Changshu, and arrived in Suzhou, the old lady was relieved, because Zhang Jing had already informed in advance that the Tianzhou wolf soldiers were stationed in Suzhou Mansion.
However, Lin Maoju, the prefect of Suzhou, insisted on refusing to allow the wolf soldiers to enter the country, and even forced the same governor Ren Huan to lead troops to monitor and drive all the way south.
Although Zhang Jing was like a fiery character, he was a civil official after all, and it was impossible for him not to consider the opposition of the gentry in Suzhou, so he sent Wu Baipeng to gallop north and let Mrs. Wa move to Jiaxing Mansion.
Old Madam Wa glanced back, and although she didn't make any moves, the commotion behind her immediately subsided.
The river wind blew in her face, blowing the white hair on Mrs. Wa's head fluttering, Wu Baipeng, who was familiar with military affairs, really couldn't bear it, and took two steps forward to persuade a few words, but Mrs. Wa spoke first.
"Yes, but the Suzhou government wants to send a batch of grain."
"It's impossible." Lin Mao raised his voice and said: "Suzhou Mansion does not have much grain in stock, and Ren Yingqian was still chasing for food yesterday. ”
Wu Baipeng frowned and looked back, although Ren Huan had gathered guest soldiers in the past few months and gathered the villagers, Suzhou Mansion was rich and there was not a lot of grain in stock.
But Wu Baipeng did not intervene, in fact, in the governor's yamen and governor's yamen of Hangzhou, the question of who is responsible for the supply of wolf soldiers has not yet been resolved, and no one refuses to ......
Although Zhang Jing was the governor of the southeast, he was not the boss of Lin Maoju, the prefect of Suzhou.
"Do you want me to lead my sons and daughters to Jiaxing hungry!" Mrs. Watts gritted her teeth word by word.
"If you go south here, you will soon be able to enter Jiaxing Mansion." Lin Maoju said disdainfully: "It's just a few more steps." ”
At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and everyone turned their heads and saw several black canopy boats coming down the river, and just after they landed, a large number of wolf soldiers dressed in blue and black cloth rushed out of the river.
"You are so bold that you dare to plunder!" Lin Maoju was like thunder, and his fingers were about to poke into Mrs. Wa's nose, "This official must refer to you!" ”
The iron-faced old lady turned on her horse silently, and the group got on the horse and galloped, turned a corner, and climbed the small hill, and everyone looked down carefully.
Seven or eight boats leaned to the shore, and the soldiers lined up with smiles and stood in the water to deliver the supplies ashore.
Bags of grain were piled aside, dozens of soldiers were killing pigs with daggers, and a few goats were burrowing through the crowd, and they were thrown down by their horns, only bleating.
Mrs. Wa looked carefully at first, it didn't seem to be looting, so much grain and even pigs and sheep, there was no city nearby, and there was no place to grab it if she wanted to.
Looking at it more closely, Old Madam Wa couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart, she knew very well that these wolf soldiers under her command were all good at charging into battle, but there were no rules in their actions...... More than 1,000 people under the hill were divided into several pieces, transporting supplies, digging stoves, killing pigs and dividing meat, in an orderly manner, not at all chaotic, she even saw people carrying chopped branches, and some people carrying clay pots to the river to fetch water......
"Old lady look there." Wu Baipeng pointed to the nearest stove, where most of the people around were not wolf soldiers in blue and black cloth.
Mrs. Wa suddenly twitched, as if she had smelled something.
"You ...... You ......" Lin Maoju climbed up the hill panting, although he could also ride a horse, but he did not have the ability to ride a horse straight up the hill.
But before Lin Maoju could say a complete sentence, Old Lady Wa and Wu Baipeng shouted and drove down the hill.
Lin Maoju's face was a little embarrassed, and he didn't dare to ride a horse when he came up, let alone go down......
The second knife looked at Qian Yuan a little reluctantly, to be precise, at the Miao knife in Qian Yuan's hand.
These two Miao knives are his most beloved weapons, and although it hurts to be able to give one, it is not a pity.
But now, it's really distressing and a pity!
"Go, go!"
"Dare to stick your paws inside without washing your hands!" Qian Yuan held the Miao knife and beat a few hands back, "Believe it or not, I pulled out the knife and chopped your hands!" ”
The second knife sighed, and used the Miao knife, which was worth at least 100 gold, as a spoon......
Trying not to look at the spoon that no longer belonged to him, the second knife looked down carefully at the boiling meat in the pot, and sniffed hard, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand.
"Smack!"
Qian Yuan raised his eyebrows and glared, "Go wash your hands!" ”
A bunch of bastard things, go to the forest on the side to get two small wooden sticks to wash and wash them can be used as chopsticks, you have to use your hands!
"Young master, it's so fragrant." Yang Wen swallowed, "I've never seen you cook this dish before." ”
Qian Yuan rolled his eyes, this braised pork was his specialty in his previous life, but after all, he was in the filial piety period before, although he could eat fish and meat, but he couldn't go too far.
Picked up the chopsticks made temporarily and tried it, Qian Yuan looked left and right and sighed, although there is white sugar fried sugar color, and there are also onions and garlic, but unfortunately there is no cinnamon star anise, and there is a little less taste.
There was a noise around, but the sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard, Qian Yuan turned his head to see that more than a dozen horses were driving in this direction, led by a tall old woman.
Respect arose spontaneously in Qian Yuan's heart, and he knew very well what role this old woman could play in the future fight against the Japanese.
Yang Wen on the side asked, "Okay?" ”
"Alright." Qian Yuan replied casually, and his attention focused on the one beside Mrs. Wa, who seemed to be not the leader of the wolf soldiers.
"Zhong Nan!" Old Madam Wa snorted.
The wolf soldiers gathered around the stove immediately scattered, and the two knives quickly dropped their chopsticks, wiped the corners of their mouths hastily, and ran over in a few steps, "Old lady." ”
Before Mrs. Wa could ask what was going on, a terrible scream suddenly sounded by the stove.
"You bastards!" Qian Yuan roared angrily and slashed at Yang Wen's shoulder.
Yang Wen's thick-skinned man didn't pay attention to it at all, and he was busy grabbing the braised pork that was already left in the pot......
