Chapter 245 Visitors from Outside the Mountain
Mr. Sun is from Jinan Road, and has come to Shanzhai several times to do some secret business with Shi Zebo, after all, Qingfeng Village cannot always be isolated from society, and a large amount of grain, grass, cloth, and salt for daily needs still need to be transported from the outside world. This Mr. Sun can have a relationship with the government to mediate and operate for Qingfeng Village, but only Shi Zebo, Wu Shenghe and Yan Ming know about this matter.
Mr. Sun came this time, except for the words, no one knew about Qingfeng Village. What Yan Ming said to the Lan family just now was that he would no longer be a thief and change to an official body, and he also had a secret appointment with Mr. Sun this autumn, hoping that he would convey his intention to join the imperial court on Jinan Road to the government.
The reason why Jinan Road was chosen instead of Yidu Road was mainly because he had done a lot of bandit things after he joined the local area. If they stay in the local area, not only will it be difficult for the local government to get along in the future, but it is inevitable that many local large families will not seek revenge. After thinking about it, he simply rushed to Jinan.
Seeing Yan Ming's expression, Mr. Sun put down the teacup and said, "If it weren't for the fact that the master of the stone village has been stubborn and resisting the official army, how could this kind of good thing that he enjoys so quickly fall on Brother Yan?" The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and the owner of the village should be like this! ”
"This strange boss doesn't know the current affairs, and seeing that Liu Futong, Zhang Shicheng and other strongmen are getting stronger and stronger, he also wants to learn from them! The Mongols have been in Kyushu for decades, how can they say that they can be opposed, and they have forgotten how the stick and the sesame plum were defeated? In the past, I was confused and took the wrong path, but this time I was fortunate that the court was not to blame in the past, so I had the opportunity to get ahead, Mr. Sun waited for a while, and tomorrow I will know whether Yan is trustworthy or not! Yan Ming never mentioned the matter of the Lan family, "but there is still a place where there are more than a dozen brothers who came with Mr. Sun." ”
"Oh, Brother Yan, please speak." Mr. Sun seems to be interested.
"I'm going to drink with the second child tonight, and all my subordinates have been arranged, but due to the lack of manpower, and there are a lot of dangers in the cottage, I can't spare the manpower to completely solve Mo Er. Mr. Sun's subordinates should be the elite of the Han army on Jinan Road, can they be borrowed? "Killing Murphy, he said that he didn't want to use his subordinates, first, his subordinates lacked kung fu skills, and second, it was better to let outsiders do this kind of big thing, in case something happened, he would have a chance to shirk it.
Mr. Sun did not expect Yan Ming to ask for this, which did not conflict with his purpose this time.
"No problem, everyone will serve the imperial court in the future, and this is the time to work together! Wait for me to tell me. "The dozen or so subordinates brought by Mr. Sun are indeed Jinan Han Army, which was specially arranged by the Jinan prefect to escort him back and forth. In terms of personal martial arts, he is naturally outstanding. Yan Ming's eyes are sharp, and he has long recognized that he is not an ordinary caretaker, and Mr. Sun does not deny it, and directly admits it.
"That's right, thank you."
"It's just that Brother Yan really thinks that he can make things happen with just this little manpower?" After a quick deliberation in his heart, Mr. Sun suddenly asked rhetorically.
"Why did you say that, sir?" Yan Ming was stunned.
"You and I both know that there are no less than two thousand people in Qingfeng Village, this time the stone thieves personally took most of them out of the mountain, there are at least four or five hundred people in this village, if the old decay is expected to be good, the henchmen of the village owner are only hundreds, in case the time comes, there are no more than 100 people, or there are twists and turns, the plan will be safe?" Mr. Sun said slowly.
"Sir knows the situation in the village very well!" Yan Ming made a sudden attack in his heart, he gave it a go this time, to be prepared to fight unprepared, there are always risks, although he didn't dare to say that he was nine out of ten, Yan Ming felt that he had a chance of winning by six or seven points. Hearing Mr. Sun say this, it is clear that he has already seen his intentions and plans. Could it be that this old guy has other intentions?
"Brother Yan, don't think too much, tell me the truth to my brother, this time I am old, and there are more than just a dozen subordinates around me!"
"Oh, please speak clearly, sir!" Yan Ming frowned.
"Just go here to the back mountain for more than ten miles, and there is a Biao Jinan Road official army hidden there!"
"How could this be!" Yan Ming was surprised and delighted, and then his heart palpitated, could it be that the officials and soldiers of Jinan Road traveled a long distance to encircle and suppress Qingfeng Village?
Shi Zebo and others have already led most of them out of the village, but the official army came to catch cicadas and yellow finches, and took the opportunity to completely exterminate Qingfeng Village. The cooperation with Linqu is so secret, I really don't know how the Jinan Road government knows? Could it be that the Yuan Court had already set up a plan to encircle and suppress the cottage, but he hated himself for still thinking about getting rid of the thief, this Mr. Sun was so bitter that he was hiding himself! The officers and soldiers sneaked into the mountains, but they didn't notice it at all, and they clearly didn't take themselves seriously. It was only told at the end of the day, and the sincerity of this Mr. Sun was really doubtful.
Seeing that Yan Ming's eyes were erratic, and finally faintly showed a suspicious and fierce look, Mr. Sun stroked his short beard lightly and said casually: "The officials and soldiers are here, they are not here for Qingfeng Village, and the owner of Yan Village is too worried!" With this sentence, he aggravated the three words of Yan Zhai and reminded him of his current identity.
"Boy Meng Lang, a man of the mountains and wilderness, does not know the vastness of the world. It's just that this time the officers and troops came to the vicinity of Qingfeng Village, but they don't know what it is? Yan Ming was worried in his heart, if he had the help of these officers and soldiers, his plan would naturally have a guarantee of success, but if there was a change, he would not know what would happen to him if he didn't want to kill the donkey.
"Haha, although Brother Yan can rest assured, this time it is also a great credit to Brother Yan's position. Speaking of which, a few days ago, Yidu Road had sent an envoy to Jinan Road to ask for help, claiming that the Linqu thieves were in a big position, and Yidu Road was worried that the local officials and troops would not be able to gather for a while, and the remnants of the thieves would be difficult to suppress and unable to achieve all the results, so they asked Jinan Road to send troops to cut off their retreat into the mountains. The Privy Council also sent a military letter, agreeing to Yidu Road's request, so that this strange army secretly came to the vicinity of Qingfeng Village. Anyway, it's passing by, and the old decay just happened to be at the right time, if the brother has any needs, just open his mouth! At this time, Mr. Sun changed his words and called him a brother again.
Yan Ming thought about it a little, the Linqu incident did make a big fuss, Qingfeng Village has heard of it, but everyone avoids the mountains and does not dare to go out of the mountain easily, so I know that it is unknown. However, the secret sentinel outside the mountain did know that the officials and troops of Yishui and other county governments were going to the direction of Linqu in large numbers, and the official roads in the four places were set up with cards, and the investigation was extremely strict, so it was much more difficult to transmit this news.
Mr. Sun continued: "There are only 2,000 officers and soldiers from Jinan, if you really want to seek Qingfeng Village, how can you only come with so few soldiers and horses?" Brother Yan is too worried! ”
"It's a small Meng Lang, Mr. massive, don't blame it!" Yan Ming had a heart, anyway, he already had an anti-heart, so he put the injection on this Mr. Sun, so he simply gave it a go. "Tonight, sir, look at a certain piece of the court's heart!"
"Okay, Brother Yan is really a responsible man, and Sun is waiting for good news here! Just in case, a certain contacted the officers and soldiers in the mountains to be lightly armed, and sneaked outside the village tonight, just waiting for the brothers to raise torches! Here's the best wishes for the success of thousands of households! ”
While Yan Ming was discussing with his men, Murphy returned to his courtyard, and two of his men came to listen to the order.
Murphy asked as he walked, "Are there more guards everywhere, and are you all patrolling?" ”
"Don't worry, big brother, according to the order, the number of all guards will be doubled from today onwards, and the night patrol will be changed to once every half an hour."
Murphy nodded, the cottage has been extremely empty these days, and it is really careless. Before leaving, Wu Sheng specially told himself in private that he must pay attention to defensive vigilance, not only to strengthen the vigilance of the surrounding environment, but also to not relax inside the cottage, even if it is to be clear, he must pay attention to it.
Murphy was not only a little surprised when he heard this, but he was clearly his own brother, how could Wu Sheng, a military advisor, specifically propose to strengthen his vigilance against him? And why didn't the boss Shi Zebo explain this kind of thing personally?
Wu Sheng is helpless to order so secretly, the Lan family is pregnant, he didn't break it, eighty percent of the people who can have a personal relationship with the Lan family are people with status in the cottage, and it is possible for these big and small leaders, if it is bloody Fang Gang, it is Pang Biao who is the most suspicious, so this time Wu Sheng suggested that Shi Zebo take Pang Biao away. is the sweetest in terms of being well-behaved, and he is warm-hearted in front of people. He is popular, he used to read and write, in addition to Wu Sheng in the village, he is the most important etiquette, and there are few foul words, Wu Sheng is also suspicious of him, but it is not outstanding.
As for Murphy, his status is second only to Shi Zebo, he is nearly forty years old, and he has a family, and the husband and wife are very affectionate, so they are naturally the least suspicious. Wu Sheng specially left him to guard the cottage. It's just that Murphy has a more generous personality, and Wu Sheng is worried that he lacks internal vigilance, which may be a bad thing.
This time, Qingfeng Village can be said to be pouring out of the nest, and the safety of the cottage is all due to the hands of Murphy and Yanming. As long as this attack on the camp is successful, not only will there be no worries about the winter this year, but the strength of the cottage will also be greatly increased, and maybe in the future, there will be a chance to seize the county like the Shuntian army.
Wu Sheng didn't tell Murphylan that his pregnancy was someone else's seed, and the woman who dared to fall for Shi Zebo was afraid that she would not have a good heart towards Qingfeng Village, if it was really a certain leader, if Murphy knew about it and leaked it, it was difficult to say what would happen at this juncture.
But Wu Sheng didn't expect that Yan Ming had already made up his mind to oppose the water, and had already contacted the Jinan Road Government and secretly notified Juxian Daying. Unexpectedly, there was a passing officer and army on Jinan Road at this juncture to the vicinity of Qingfeng Village, and all the follow-up developments were completely out of Wu Sheng's expectations.
Murphy inquired about the defense in detail, looked at the sky, and estimated that Yan Ming would come over to drink in a while, so he ordered his subordinates to prepare a table of wine and food, and went in to chat with the Hun family for a while, and laughed with a few children.
Not long before the sunset, Yan Ming came with two of his subordinates as promised, carrying two colorful pheasants in his hands. Murphy asked him to pick up the pheasant, pluck and wash it in the back hall, stew it in the pot, and the two brothers went to the side room to drink and chat.
So far, there is no wave in the cottage.
Shi Zebo and other leaders rushed over to meet with Yu Zhilong, and Yu Zhilong told them the news of the interrogation just now, Shi Zebo was shocked and angry, seeing that the great opportunity was lost, he was really unwilling in his heart.
Yu Zhilong said: "Don't be anxious about the master of Shizhai, although the other party has been vigilant, but judging from the interrogation, there is obviously not much doubt about this batch of baggage teams, I have discussed it just now, this time I want to make good use of these people!" “
"Oh, Brother Yu, please speak." Shi Zebo was slightly stunned.
Several people gathered around to discuss Yu Zhilong's plan in detail.
