Chapter 5 Chestnuts in the fire, teeth from the tiger's mouth

The senior official in the unicorn suit was none other than Qin Chuan.

His method is very simple and effective, Zhu Youzhen's killing of Wei Zhongxian is well known in the Ming Dynasty, as long as the gold-lettered signboard of Jinyiwei is displayed, and the high hat of Wei Zhiyu is buttoned, everyone is afraid.

Especially Meng Guiming, a man with a big family, is most afraid of being detained by the officers and soldiers as a rebel and thief, and it is not without precedent before that he will destroy the nine clans and steal the family property.

After roaring, "Beizhen Fusi is ordered to track down Wei Weiyu's party", even those guards on the gatehouse didn't dare to move.

The corpses of those Wei Yiyu who were hacked to death came back to life in blood, and the other Wei Weiyu who broke free from the rope took off their colorful clothes while following the Jinyi guard to the upper floor and successfully took over the fortress.

Instead of killing people, they drove the guards down the gatehouse.

Meng Guiming was frightened and was invited to the room on the second floor.

He had heard of a trader pretending to be a bandit, but he had never heard of anyone daring to rob a brocade guard.

This is simply unheard of, unseen, and the reason why I am unlucky is that I never imagined that someone would be so bold and come up with such a clever method.

This group of people is not like the Rogues, who are not such powerful characters.

Qin Chuan took off the roughly sewn unicorn suit, sat opposite Meng Guiming with a big golden knife, and arched his hand with a smile: "Master Meng Zhuang, there are many offenses. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Meng Guiming hurriedly returned the salute.

"Master Meng Zhuang, our brothers, were originally honest and responsible farmers, but they were forcibly taken up the mountain by the thieves of Huangcong Mountain, forcing the people to be thieves, and he was forced to attack the gatehouse of Mengjiazhuang, which frightened the owner of Meng Zhuang."

"The hero is polite, polite."

Meng Guiming didn't know what to say, so he had to say a few perfunctory sentences, he could see clearly, the other party's official uniforms were all drawn, even the buttons on the armor were drawn, and they were even very lifelike and realistic.

Qin Chuan smiled again and said: "Master Meng, please rest assured, the brothers are all people who distinguish between good and evil, and it is really helpless to be coerced by the thieves, but now that they are separated from the head of the thieves, they will never help the abuse, on the contrary, the brothers will also help the Lord Meng Zhuang defend this Zhuangzi." ”

"Huh?"

Meng Gui Ming.

"Master Meng Zhuang, there are about 1,200 thieves outside, half of them are people from Huangcong Mountain Bashan Tiger, and the other half are Liukou from Linxian County, these two groups of people are not good things, Master Meng Zhuang should know what the outcome will be if the other party attacks Zhuangzi."

Meng Guiming's face turned pale when he heard this, he thought that it was the people from Huangcong Mountain who came outside, he knew about the village, there were only about five or six hundred people who could hold knives, and there were four hundred township Yonghu courtyards in her Zhuangzi, and she could completely guard Zhuangzi, even if she fell into the hands of the thieves, at most she would ask for some money and food, and she would retreat after she got it.

However, if you add a few hundred rogues, the other party's purpose is not as simple as a little money and food.

The opponent's posture is to completely capture Zhuangzi and plunder it.

And he is a member of the Meng family......

He had heard of the behavior of the rogue, and that a gentleman like him would be slaughtered if he surrendered, or if he did not surrender, he would be slaughtered.

Thinking of this, Meng Guiming's whole body trembled involuntarily.

Qin Chuan on the side showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Master Meng Zhuang can rest assured, the intention of our brothers is to join forces with Master Meng Zhuang to resist strong enemies."

Meng Guiming knelt down with a puff: "The hero saves my ......"

"I can't do it, I can't help it, Master Meng Zhuang hurry up."

Qin Chuan hurriedly helped him up.

"Master Meng, the top priority now is to immediately gather all the capable warriors in the village, strictly guard against them, and keep the thieves out."

"Thank you for your help, great grace to the hero, the little old man will never forget, the little old man will go and arrange the defense."

Meng Guiming gave a big salute to Qin Chuan gratefully, and then turned around to go out.

However, Luo Da Niu's burly body was firmly clubbed at the door, and he had no intention of letting go.

Qin Chuan's faint voice came from behind: "Master Meng, the downstairs is dangerous, you better stay here obediently, you don't have to go anywhere, as for arranging defense...... You're so old, just let your children and grandchildren do it. ”

"Huh?"

Meng Guiming's face froze.

Only then did he realize that the people who were going to help him guard Zhuangzi didn't seem to have any good intentions.

"Master Mengzhuang, come and come, sit, strategize here, and you can win a thousand miles."

Meng Guiming squeezed out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, and sat down honestly.

Qin Chuan began to assign him tasks.

That's right, he has now become a person from Qin Chuan.

The Meng family had already realized that something was wrong, and their master was escorted to the gatehouse with knives by a group of people who claimed to be Jinyi guards, and all the guards above were driven down.

Obviously, that group of people was not a brocade guard, but a sinister and cunning thief.

But when the people of the Meng family gathered people and surrounded the gatehouse, Meng Guiming appeared at the staircase on the second floor, repeatedly emphasizing that the people upstairs were not thieves, but heroes who came to help the Meng family guard the village, and severely reprimanded the people gathered downstairs, scolding them for being a great enemy, and not to take precautions quickly.

After Meng Guiming scolded indiscriminately, he began to arrange precautionary tasks.

He had several houses demolished, and some of the bricks and timber that had been removed were piled up next to the doorway, and several bundles of firewood were brought in, and in case the gate could not be kept, he would use these bricks and tiles to block the doorway.

The other part of the bricks and tiles are piled up at the foot of the stairs of the gatehouse, and when the stone rolling wood on the upper floor is exhausted, these bricks and tiles are used as stones.

All the people in the Meng family who can hold knives must all go to the defense line, strictly guard the courtyard wall and the watchtowers at both ends, and never allow thieves to step in.

As for the gatehouse...... It was handed over to the heroes who came to support them.

The people of the Meng family knew that the master had been held hostage by thieves, but now that the enemy was present, they couldn't afford to think too much, so they had to do as they were told.

In Mengjiazhuang, chickens and dogs jumped, women and children cried and screamed, and knives, guns and sticks were sonorous.

When the people of the Meng family were busy preparing for precautions, the old bandits of Jiuji Mountain were not idle, and began to apply medicine to the four-pole bird guns and four-pole three-eyed guns in the house.

There were also firearms in the Jiujishan Village, and the old bandits had long been familiar with them, and there were two good hands with birds.

Qin Chuan went up to the top of the gatehouse, stood behind the battlement, and looked in the direction of the east.

Bashan Tiger, Li Biaofeng and Tongtian Pillar, come soon.

The reason why he helped Meng Guiming to keep the village was not to save the Meng family, but to pull out his teeth and take chestnuts from the fire.

It can also be said that he sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and after Bashan Tiger and the Meng family fought and lost both, he would come out to get the benefits.

Bashanhu and Li Biaofeng have a total of 1,200 people, and the Meng family has 400 people.

He took the old bandits of Jiujishan to defend the gatehouse, even if Zhuangzi was lost and Bashanhu's people came in, he would not be able to help him for a while.

There is only one staircase in this four-foot-high, three-story gatehouse, as long as you guard the staircase and guard against the opponent's fire attack, four or five hundred people may not be able to beat it down.

What's more, with the urine nature of those bandits, after breaking the village, they will only be busy looting money and food and spoiling women, who will bird them with only 30 people.

Although his move is risky, it is not impossible to succeed.

If it happens, he wants more than just money and food.

What he wants is this Zhuangzi, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as well as all the property of the Meng family.
