The old man sighed before the war, Chapter 23, a wise man has a thousand thoughts

When Qin Qiong, Luo Cheng and the others turned around, everyone in the backyard had already finished thanking them and got up, Qin's mother and Zhuang's family still wanted to explain Min'er's matter to the two, but Qin Qiong had already spoken first: "Mother, the child and the owner of the Shan village still have some things to discuss, please go to the front yard to rest with Yun'er, and your younger siblings first!" ”

Seeing Qin Qiong's determined expression, Qin's mother didn't say anything, and when the female dependents left, Qin Qiong opened her mouth and said: "Brothers, Yang Lin has already said just now that the army will send troops to Runanzhuang tomorrow, so tonight, we must think of a way, first, to save Cheng Cheng and bite the gold, and second, to have someone go to Runanzhuang to report the news." I won't hide it from you today, in fact, I have a grudge against Yang Lin for killing my father, but because I didn't know about it before, I mistakenly thought that the enemy was my father. If anyone can't trust me Qin Qiong, you can leave at this moment, and Qin Qiong will never stop you! ”

"Brother Qin, since you have spoken about this, I also want to express my attitude here, Cheng Yanjin is my eldest brother who has his head on the ground, even if you don't save him tomorrow, I have to go!" After You Junda finished speaking, he looked at the people around him, but he saw that they were all thoughtful, and he didn't know what they meant.

"Save! must be saved, they are all brothers in the road, and it will not make people laugh if they are not saved! Qi Guoyuan shouted first.

"That's Yang Lin, the king of the backer, even if we all go, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get through the front army of others!" Zhang Gongjin retorted. These characters in front of him have never experienced a battle in a military formation, and they want to save people just by virtue of their blood and courage, and they really think that Yang Lin is a straw bag!

The argument between the two caused a lot of people to discuss, and it was obvious that the people's hearts were not aligned, and at this time Shan Xiongxin said: "Help!" The eighteen village brothers took the lead, knowing that the brothers were in trouble but stood by and watched, how could they be based on the rivers and lakes. If someone doesn't want to participate, they can leave now, and there is no way to get rid of it, and Shan will never be embarrassed. ”

"Big brother, what are you talking about! Back then, our eighteen brothers recognized you as the eldest brother, naturally what you said was what, since the eldest brother said to save today, my uncle Wang should be willing to go with the eldest brother. ”

"Count me in, although Cheng Yanjin is not familiar with me, since he is the eldest brother of Brother You, he is my brother." Qi Guoyuan also said.

As soon as the two of them responded, the others didn't want to stop talking, and they all agreed. On the contrary, Xu Shiji walked out at this time and said, "Brothers, please allow Poor Dao to say a few words." Although the brothers promised to save people today, Poor Dao still had to remind us that once we went to save Cheng Yanjin, it would be a complete enemy of the imperial court. If it is done, we will leave our name in history and pass it on to all generations; If it fails, it will be difficult to escape the disaster of killing the head and exterminating the clan. Therefore, we might as well accept a vote, whether it is glory or disgrace, and also testify for today. ”

After Xu Shiji finished speaking, he took out a pen and ink and wrote: The tyranny of the imperial court has caused the people to be miserable and the five lakes to suffer. In order to feel the call of heaven and respond to the wishes of the people, we are determined to oppose the Sui, so we set up this state to show the anti-Sui to save the world! Then he wrote his name first, followed by Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, You Junda, Qi Guoyuan...... In the eighteen villages, those who can write write their names, and those who can't write are written by Xu Shiji according to their handprints, and they have voted for their names. After the eighteen villagers finished writing, Xu Shiji hurriedly went to put away the name letter, but a hand suddenly pressed on the name letter, and the voice sounded: "What does this mean, Dao Chief?" Do you look down on Luo Cheng? If you look down on it, why discuss this matter in front of Luo Cheng? After speaking, he snatched the ink pen with one hand and resolutely added his name. Luo Cheng added this, and the generals of Beiping Mansion, Zhang Gongjin, Shi Danai, Bai Xiandao and others, who originally wanted to write down their names because of their identity, also wrote their names. And as soon as the people from Beiping Mansion finished writing, all that was left was Chai Shao from Jinyang Mansion. Chai Shao looked at Qin Qiong on one side at this time, and then at Luo Cheng on the other side, and kept scolding Xu Shiji in his heart for not being a thing.

Because he and these people in the eighteen villages, the friendship is actually not too deep, but because a few years ago, he was ordered by his father-in-law Li Yuan to come to Jinan Mansion to celebrate Qin's mother's birthday when he was robbed by Wang Bodang, when Wang Bodang knew that he was going to celebrate Qin's mother's birthday, not only did he embarrass him, but also came to Jinan Mansion with him. So since then, for the convenience of the way, he took the initiative to find Wang Bodang to come to Jinan Mansion every time, how could he have thought that every time it would be fine, but this time there was such a big thing! Rebellion! Even when he accompanied Qin Qiong to greet Yang Lin outside the door before, he didn't expect things to come to this point. At that time, he just wanted to send Yang Lin away first, after all, if Qin Qiong was captured, he would not be able to escape his crime, so as long as Yang Lin left, he would leave quickly. But I didn't expect that before he could say goodbye, a group of people here discussed a rebellion! Think about his father-in-law, Li Yuan, and the current saint are still cousins! He can be said to be the current county master, how can he rebel against his own family? But after being tricked by Xu Shiji, if he didn't write his name, as Luo Cheng said, everyone discussed the rebellion in front of him, and he could easily let himself go? Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong are cousins, and Beiping Mansion is only nominally subordinate to the imperial court, so he is not surprised that Luo Cheng dares to do this, but if he signs it, he will lose every day, and Jinyang Mansion will inevitably be implicated by him; But if you don't sign it...... This Xu Shiji can really calculate!

Chai Shao gritted his teeth and signed! Let's talk about it after the present, and when I return to Jinyang, I'll figure out a way!

Seeing Chai Shao sign his name, Xu Shiji put away the name certificate without hurrying. The reason why he made such a play was not because of Chai Shao. A county horse, what reason is there to rebel with a gang of ringing horses? Although Chai Shao may not report it because of Qin Qiong's face, Chai Shao is not a person from the Eighteen Villages after all, and he still has to guard against it. Otherwise, it is extremely stupid to bet everyone's net worth and their lives on a person in the government, and only by tying Chai Shao to them can we ensure that everything will be foolproof in the future.

"Good! Since everyone is working together, let me plan how to act. After Xu Shiji finished speaking, he saw that no one had any objections, and then he spoke again: "Hou Junji, Xie Yingdeng, you two are doing good work, now find a way to get out of the city and rush to Runanzhuang overnight to report the news." ”

"Don't worry, a few soldiers can't stop me." After Hou Junji finished speaking, he and Xie Yingdeng left immediately. Xu Shiji said again: "It is also a three-day journey from Jinan Mansion to Runanzhuang at the earliest, and there is Brother Lao Qin who continues to endure by Yang Lin's side. Guoyuan, you make good use of anesthetics, and you will hand it over to Brother Qin to bring later. Brother Qin, you'd better find an opportunity to charm Yang Lin and the others in three days, and we will answer you. ”

"Dao Chief!" As soon as Qin Qiong spoke, Xu Shiji hurriedly interrupted: "Brother Qin, I know you don't like to do this, but we have the right to do things, we are few and alone, if we just use our people to rob us, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg." ”

"Dao Chief, I understand this. I just don't understand why I had to do it in three days. After Qin Qiong asked, Xu Shiji also smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh...... I'll talk about that later. ”

"Zhai Rang. As soon as this incident came out, we had no way to retreat, looking at the topography of each village of the eighteen villages, only Wagang had the tendency to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. So tomorrow you will go out of the city, return to Wagang and prepare for the reception, the more soldiers, horses, money and food prepared, the better! After Xu Shiji finished instructing Zhai Rang, he shouted: "Wang Junke, Wang Bodang, Qi Guoyuan, Ding Qingtian, Du Yi, Jin Cheng, Ren Jingsi,." ”

Xu Shiji named one by one, and the seven people walked out in response, Xu Shiji ordered: "After leaving the city tomorrow, you will quickly rush to each village with the letters and tokens of the owners of each village, and order the people who guard the village to count the property of each village, and be sure to gather and deliver it to Wagang Village within half a month." This is a matter of our survival, and we must not take it lightly! ”

"Don't worry, Dao Chief!" The seven replied.

"Huh? Wait a minute. Shan Xiongxin said at this time.

"Does the owner of the single village have something to say?"

"It's not a big deal, I heard that all the arrangements of the Taoist chief just now are after leaving the city, but the problem is that now that the whole city of Jinan Mansion is under martial law, how can we get out of the city?" As soon as this question was mentioned by Shan Xiongxin, everyone also noticed that it was indeed a problem.

"This one!" Xu Shiji smiled slightly when he heard this, and then asked Xiang Chai Shao: "Chai Gongzi came to celebrate his birthday this time, did he come alone, or was he accompanied?" ”

Chai Shao reluctantly stepped forward and replied: "When I came here, I brought a few entourages, but when I passed by Brother Wang's cottage, they all stayed there. After Chai Shao finished speaking, Wang Bodang also nodded, which proved that what he said was true. But Xu Shiji didn't look at Wang Bodang at all, but continued to ask: "Are you sure that Gongzi Chai?" ”

"Don't dare to make a false ...... in the next place" Chai Shao thought about the meaning of Xu Shiji's words, and then understood, and changed his words: "Although the entourage below stayed in Brother Wang's cottage, before entering the city, due to the purchase of too many gifts, he also hired eight porters, and now he is resting in Jialiulou. ”

Porter? Didn't this firewood enter the city alone? Most people still didn't understand what was going on, only to hear Xu Shiji say again: "In this case, there will be Lao Chai Gongzi to bother tomorrow." ”

"It's just a trivial matter, why should the Taoist chief be polite." Chai Shao was polite on his lips, but he complained in his heart: This word is really not signed in vain!

"Chai Gongzi, there is still one thing to entrust in the poor road."

"It's okay to say it." Chai Shao knew that he would never be able to get rid of it anymore, and he didn't think much about anything else.

"That's the case, tomorrow the owner of the single village will accompany us to pick up Brother Qin, and the Erxian Village of the owner of the single village is in the boundary of Jinyang, so when Gongzi Chai returns to Jinyang, please also take the letter of the owner of the single village to Erxian Village. Chai Gongzi can rest assured that when the family of the owner of the single village arrives at Wagangzhai, Chai Gongzi's name will also disappear on the name petition. ”

"Thank you!" Chai Shao replied this time, which was considered to be agreed.

"Brother Luo Cheng." Xu Shiji shouted again, which made Luo Cheng happy, but Xu Shiji's next words made him a little displeased, "Brother Luo, please stay in Jinan Mansion tomorrow." ”

Luo Cheng was puzzled, and was about to step forward to ask, but Xu Shiji first explained the reason, "After we leave the city, my aunt and sister-in-law naturally can't stay in Jinan Mansion anymore, so there are Lauro brothers who took their aunt and sister-in-law out in the name of visiting relatives in Beiping Mansion." After leaving the city, you will entrust your aunt and sister-in-law to Liu Zhouchen and send them to Wagangzhai, and you will quickly return to Beiping Mansion with your younger siblings and the generals of Beiping Mansion. ”

"Why do you want me to go back?" Luo Cheng asked. Qin Qiong walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Cousin, I know that you are not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but the success or failure of this matter is unknown, if you are involved in it and Yang Lin learns about it, Beiping Mansion will inevitably be to blame, not to mention that there are younger brothers and sisters." She and her mother are still in Beiping Mansion, and we can't let them take risks with us until the big thing is stable. When we send them back, if you want to go with us, I will not stop you again. ”

Luo Cheng thought about it for a long time, but finally didn't say anything. Xu Shiji said to Qin Qiong at this time: "Brother Qin, from Jinan Mansion to Wagangzhai, it will take five or six days as fast as possible, and seven or eight days as slow, and my aunt is old, so we will count slowly." And from Jinan Mansion to Runanzhuang, it will take three days at the earliest, even if Yang Lin arrives at Runanzhuang when the building is empty, he will not rashly suspect you, so you still have a chance to rescue Cheng Biting Jin, and when you rescue Cheng Biting Jin, even if Jinan Mansion knows that it will be six days later, even if they travel thousands of miles a day, they will not be able to catch up with the aunt and his party. ”

"The Taoist is thoughtful, Qin Qiong admires! Thank you very much! ”
