Chapter 14: The Viper Liu Li
After Zhou Cang got out of Zeng Yu's house, he walked straight to the house next to his residence, which was the place where the cottage collected and dispatched, including grain and grass management, information collection, etc., which was responsible for Zhou Cang's two cronies who used to be literate.
At this time, several people were calculating the recent amount of grain and grass used in the cottage to see how long it could last, and whether it was necessary to go down the mountain to purchase. When they saw Zhou Cang coming in, they hurriedly put down the work in their hands.
"I wonder what happened to the big boss at this time?" One of them stepped forward and asked, because Zhou Cang didn't usually come over, but they calculated the amount of grain and grass, and when they needed to tell Zhou Cang, they would go to Zhou Cang's residence to ask for instructions.
"Let me ask, a few days ago, I sent to the bottom of the mountain to pick up the people left by Zirui at the bottom of the mountain, has there been any news in the past two days?"
Zhou Cang didn't say much, and asked directly.
"I take a look, the news is usually delivered every five days, and today it has just been delivered, and I haven't had time to sort it out, anyway, it's usually not a big deal, we usually don't see it until noon."
"Hurry up and look for them, see if they have received someone."
From Zhou Cang's tone, he could feel his eagerness, and several people hurriedly found the bamboo slip that recorded the news, and after a while, they hurriedly brought it to Zhou Cang.
"What are you doing for me, I'm illiterate, hurry up and see if it's Qin Fen's news."
Zhou Cang saw that these people actually gave him the letter directly, smiled bitterly, and did not answer the letter, and asked them to open it and tell him what was said inside. The person who asked Zhou Cang just now hurriedly opened the letter, the letter was very short, and he read it quickly.
What does the letter say? But got someone? Zhou Cang hurriedly asked.
"The letter said that they had not found it, and they were still searching in the county medical center." The man returned.
"Did you say you found any clues?" Zhou Cang asked again.
"I didn't say it, I just said that I would reassure Brother Zirui."
"Okay, I see, you guys keep busy."
After speaking, Zhou Cang walked out and reported the situation to Zeng Yu.
Zeng Yu was discussing with Xiang Zhi in the house at this time how to arrange the cottage next. As for Zhu Wen, he was not interested in these things. Originally, he still wanted to attack Jinniuzhai with Wang Qing and them, but Wang Qing asked him to stay by Zeng Yu's side to protect his safety, so he stayed.
When the three of them saw Zhou Cang walking in, Zeng Yu hurriedly asked, "Is there any news, Qin Fen has found Sun Hao and them?" ”
"Does the lord mean the brother you left in the county? If so, I haven't found it yet," Zhou Cang replied.
"What the letter says"
Qin Fen said to rest assured, the lord, they are still looking for it at the bottom of the mountain. Don't worry, my lord, I'm sure I'll find it in a few days. Zhou Cang thought that he really didn't find it, and comforted Zeng Yu.
"Oh, is that really what the letter says?" Zeng Yu heard Zhou Cang say that the letter mentioned the code he had agreed with Qin Fen, and hurriedly asked.
"Yes, that's true." Zhou Cang replied affirmatively.
Zeng Yu heard Zhou Cang's answer and immediately felt relieved. Obviously, Qin Fen must have connected with Sun Hao and them, but he didn't know that Zhou Cang was accepted by himself so easily, so he still sent the news according to the agreed code.
But now that the overall situation of the cottage is almost in their own hands, they need to pick up Sun Hao and a few of them, first, they can get to know everyone, and secondly, they can also help themselves better build a team, after all, each has its own strengths, some grain and grass logistics, or Sun Hao's people are more suitable, and Wang Qing and a few people can concentrate on training.
"That's it, Xiang Zhi, you go down again, help find Sun Hao, and if you find it, pick them up, they are needed here in the cottage."
Zeng Yu thought for a while and decided to send Xiang Zhi down, and he and Xiang Zhi knew Sun Hao who were currently staying in the cottage, and sent someone to tell Qin Fen that Qin Fen did not necessarily believe the other party, but was self-defeating. And this code word is not easy to confess to Zhou Cang.
"Then what about your safety, my lord, Brother Ziwu and they are going on the expedition again, if I am all gone, only Zhu Wen is here, this kid often drinks, and if he accidentally drinks too much, won't there be no one to protect you."
Xiang Zhi heard that Zeng Yu was going to send him down, and hurriedly refused. He was also worried about Zeng Yu's safety, there were only a few people who went to Woniu Cottage together, but now they are not by Zeng Yu's side, in case Zeng Yu has some accidents, his sin will be great. At that time, Wang Qing will definitely not be able to spare himself, even if Wang Qing sees brotherhood and will not kill him, he himself will have no shame to face everyone, and can only apologize with death.
"Brother Xiang, you are worried, with me Zhou Cang here, I will definitely not let people hurt the Dao Master."
Zhou Cang hurriedly said, the cottage is still dominated by him at present, if he is in his own territory, and his lord is offended, then his big boss in the past few years will also be in vain.
"Don't worry about the eldest brother, you are gone, and me, I will definitely not drink these days, and I will protect the lord so much that not a single hair will fall off." Zhu Wen heard that Xiang Zhi was afraid that he would drink and make a mistake, so he hurriedly patted his chest and promised.
Xiang Zhi listened to the words of the two, unmoved, and just looked at Zeng Yu.
"Don't worry, you can go down the mountain, there are also here that only you can pick them up. Besides, I'm not a powerless scholar, have you forgotten that I'm better than you when it comes to archery. ”
After speaking, Zeng Yu gave Xiang Zhi a reassuring look.
Xiang Zhi saw Zeng Yu insisting, thinking that there should be no danger in the cottage, so he responded.
"The big boss, I now respect you as the big boss of the Woniu Cottage, a manly man, a mouthful of spit and a nail, the safety of the lord, please entrust it to you." Xiang Zhi said to Zhou Cang again.
"Don't worry, if something goes wrong, I'll cut off my head for you." Zhou Cang also assured.
"Okay, Xiang Zhi, you clean up, go down the mountain now, and pick up Sun Hao and them as soon as possible." Zeng Yu said.
"No!" After speaking, Xiang Zhi went out to pack his things and went down the mountain.
Zeng Yu saw Xiang Zhi leave, and asked Zhou Cang to go and busy with his own affairs, afraid that he would stay here for a long time and cause other people's conjecture.
"Then my lord, isn't there no one around you, I'd better stay here, and forgive others and don't dare to talk more." Zhou Cang didn't want to go away, he just promised to protect Zeng Yu's safety, and now that Xiang Zhi is leaving, he will leave, and he can't say it.
"It's okay, I'll call you if there's something."
"Then why don't I send the guards to the lord."
"That's! What is the difference between you arranging for me to be a personal guard and announcing that you will give me the big boss? Zeng Yu scolded with a smile.
"Hehe, yes, then I'll leave a few people here for the lord to call." Zhou Cang touched his head, smiled dryly, and then suggested.
"Okay, you go get busy!" Zeng Yu waved his hand and let Zhou Cang go first.
After Zhou Cang left, he left a few soldiers outside Zeng Yu's house and let them wait for Zeng Yu's dispatch.
In other words, Liu Li, since he was defeated by Wang Qing, after two days of cultivation, he finally recovered and was able to act on his own, but the place where he was injured by Wang Qing still had a faint pain, which made his hatred for Wang Qing deeper and deeper. He wanted to take revenge on Wang Qing, but he couldn't beat him, so he dealt with Wang Qing by dealing with Zeng Yu, and everyone in the cottage could see that Zeng Yu was the head of Wang Qing's small group. reported the revenge when he arrived, and before Wang Qing came back, he directly sentenced the Woniu Cottage.
It turned out that there was a robbery when I met a leader of the most powerful Huanglongzhai nearby, the two smelled the same, the other party persuaded him to go over, he originally wanted to take the Woniu Cottage and then defect, but also to get a big name, but look at the current situation, it is obviously impossible to take the Woniu Cottage, it is better to kill Zeng Yu directly, take revenge, and then take his own team of 100 people, defect to the Scalping Village, it is better than being angry with Wang Qing in the future.
Since Pei Yuanshao set out on the expedition, Liu Li has asked his subordinates to keep an eye on the news of Zeng Yu and the people around him, when he first heard that Qin Fen was going down the mountain, he almost wanted to do it, but he thought that Zeng Yu had always had Xiang Zhi and Zhu Wen close to him, and he didn't know the strength of the two.
Seeing that the days are passing, Wang Qing and their expedition will soon have news, once they win, their lives will not be easy, so they must lead the crowd to Huanglongzhai before most of the people in the cottage come back.
Today, Liu Li is drinking medicine, which was prescribed by the doctor in the cottage, saying that it has a good effect on internal injuries, but the taste is really unpleasant, he has been drinking it for a few days, he wants to vomit when he smells it, and then he thinks that he has no chance to take revenge, so he is angry, and smashes the bowl to the ground, and the people next to him hurriedly appease him and persuade him to calm his anger.
"The centurion is angry, just Wang Qing is a little thief, a hairy boy, relying on his own good force, with so many people, he will be the vanguard to attack, he will definitely be eaten up by the Golden Bull Village, and then the revenge of the big boss will depend on us." Pro-soldier A said.
"Lao Zhang is right, in the cottage, except for the two masters, the rest of the people are the centurion. When Wang Qing and the thief die, our revenge will be avenged. Pro-soldier B said.
"But I can't swallow this breath now, and besides, if they don't die, even if the attack fails, I still can't take revenge. Unless you can find a chance to kill Zeng Yu's little white face first, let Wang Xiaothief taste the means of revenge of someone in my Liu. ”
Liu Li's hatred for Wang Qing is really not ordinarily deep, and he also knows that Wang Qing's strength is likely to be higher than imagined, and Taurus Village may not be able to kill him, and when he returns to the cottage, he will still be able to ride on his head and.
I think he was an outlaw when he was in the state, and there was a small landlord who offended him before, and he found an opportunity to kill the landlord all over the house, and this time he suffered this kind of shame and humiliation in public, if he didn't report it, he felt sorry for himself.
The pro-soldiers next to him had also followed Liu Li for a long time, and naturally knew that Liu Li's eyes would be retributive and ruthless, but they were really frightened by Wang Qing's strength and didn't dare to make a move easily.
"In the past two days, I have arranged for my younger brother to contact Xiang Zhi and Zhu Wen beside Zeng Yu, that Xiang Zhi can't see the depth, but this Zhu Wen's strength is estimated to be no less than Wang Qing." The pro-soldier suddenly spoke.
"How do you know?" Liu Li asked.
"My subordinate once saw Zhu Wen practicing martial arts, it was a tiger and a tiger, and he lifted a stone of more than 200 catties with one hand, this strength is only greater than Wang Qing's thief."
"Really?" Liu Li's eyes widened, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked, hoping that the other party would say that it was just a joke.
However, facts are facts, and the answer makes him even more desperate. When Liu Li heard this, he had mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't know what it felt, he just felt that there was no hope of revenge in this life.
Seeing Liu Li's expression, the pro-soldier also understood. He couldn't believe it when he heard the report from his subordinates, until his subordinates took him to see the big rock, and when he saw that it had been moved, he tried it himself, but he couldn't hold it with both hands.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted outside: "Centurion ~ Good news, Centurion, I have great news." ”
