Chapter 54: It's Kind of Interesting
Chen Ji told Feng Xuexiao to do a good job of defense, and led people to do a simple "inspection" of the camp, and the result was very satisfied, of course, the premise is not to think that many people have died here.
The camp itself occupies a favorable location, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the main body of the village can be divided into two parts, the upper part is a group of natural caves, and then carved by manpower, it is an excellent place. The lower part is a slope that can accommodate hundreds of people, slightly smoothed, basically can be used as a daily training place, and the periphery is a bamboo forest, which has a good hiding effect.
Chen Rui, who returned to the cave, had already made up his mind that he could indeed use this place as a place to garrison troops in the future, regardless of what kind of soldiers he was stationed in.
After arranging the basic guards, Feng Xuexiao returned to the cave hall under the cliff, Chen Ji was leading a few people to mumble something, stretching out his finger from time to time to point, let's not say what kind of arrangement he was doing.
Seeing Feng Qianhu coming in, Chen Ji walked over to this side and took the lead in speaking: "After all, I just killed someone, in order to avoid leaking the news, I can only work hard for Feng Qianhu's people to stay in this deep mountain and old forest for a while." ”
Chen Ji raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said: "The owner of the matter didn't come to the door so quickly, it was really these officers and soldiers under Feng Qianhu who were temporarily transferred to fill the number, and there were many people in the end. ”
This remark is quite a bit of a blaming for the lax management of the army.
Feng Qianhu is not easy to refute, this is the case, it is an eventful autumn, of course it is best to have one less trouble.
At the moment, he said: "I still hope that Chen Gongzi will think of a way, so many people have left Zheng Jiawa, there is no reasonable statement, and Feng can't afford to track it down." ”
"That's right." Chen Ji bowed his head, "The reason has been thought of, that is, to suppress the thief, it just so happened that the Zheng family was dead, and it was right." ”
After a moment, Feng Xuexiao asked, "How long do we need to stay here?" ”
"It's not clear yet. However, Feng Qianhu's identity is not suitable to disappear for too long! Of course, there is a shortage of manpower now, and Feng Qianhu can only be wronged. Shandong Wei, it is clearly written in the document issued by the Qingzhou Mansion that during the disaster relief period, Feng Qianhu was under the full control of my father......" Speaking of this, Chen Ji scratched his head in embarrassment, "Now my father is busy with the price of grain in Qingzhou, and he can't get away for a while!" However, I hereby promise that Feng Qianhu will definitely get due compensation afterwards, at least in my place, I am grateful to Lord Qianhu. ”
Feng Xuexiao frowned, and was pouring ecstasy soup again.
Interrupting the conversation instead, he reminded, "I still don't think those guys can be trusted!" ”
Chen Ji hummed softly, "I know this." However, in this joint operation, we don't have many choices, if we don't open a breakthrough from them, Zheng Jiawa will kill a lot of people! Of course, this line may be a little longer, but for now it's just a bait, so let's watch first. Then again, we have to be tough ourselves, otherwise we really won't be able to fight others. ”
Feng Qianhu stopped talking, and said that, the little ecstasy soup he was poured into was almost awake. Selfishly, he is also thinking about how he should get out once he can't do anything.
Chen Ji talked to Feng Qianhu again about the construction of the camp, and not long after, Zhu Chenghu had already arrived.
After the two met, Chen Ji beckoned Feng Xuexiao over again, and the three heads saved for a while, and then left separately.
……
In Pingshan Town, it was already dinner time, and the smoke was curling from each house, and it was rare to be quiet. Occasionally, a dog barks and becomes a little more popular. The post station located in the east of the town has received the document earlier, and Xu Guogong, who was sent by the capital to Shandong to be responsible for inspection and disaster relief, will arrive in Pingshan Town tonight.
It was dusk, accompanied by a light rain, a cavalry appeared in view, Yi Cheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and immediately stood upright, and went forward to greet him. The cavalry stopped outside Zhangxu, and the young horseman in front grabbed the reins and asked, "Is this the Pingshan Post at present?" ”
"It's Xiaguan."
The young rider turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the rear lieutenant general, stepped forward and saluted the post in return, and said: "We are the vanguard of the guard of the Guogong Mansion, and the Guogong will still have a while to arrive, and there is a labor post." ”
Yi Cheng hurriedly said: "Where is it, where is the duty of the lower official." Why don't you go back to the post station to rest first? ”
The young rider shook his head, beckoned the lieutenant general to lead the team, and turned to the post and said, "If you have to find an open space, these guys will inevitably scare the people if they stay here."
The post man nodded, called out from behind him, and gave a few orders. The young horseman also glanced at the lieutenant general.
A moment later, under the old locust tree, only two people were left looking forward to it.
At the same time, two waves of people who were not good people at first glance were approaching Pingshan Town from two different directions.
It seemed that there was a tide in the air.
……
As night approached, the rain fell through the sparse leaves of the locust branches, and with a crackling sound, a heavy fog gathered from all directions, enveloping most of the town. Yi Cheng's face was gloomy, presumably frozen. Pingshan Town Post Station belongs to Qingzhou Mansion Station, so he can know the news of Xu Guogong's arrival early, and it is not easy to toss for a few days, and it is expected that those guys should also see that the signs are wrong, and temporarily suppress some "transactions", but he has always been restless, and with the instinct of being a "spy", he naturally feels that something is going to happen.
The young rider picked up an umbrella from the locust tree behind him, propped it up, and smiled: "Something on your mind?"
Yi Cheng turned his head and said with a smile: "The official position is lowly and the position is light, I heard that the Lord Guogong is coming, I am afraid that the service will not be considerate......"
The young horseman said: "Guogong's trip is also for the imperial court, there is no need to worry......" Before the words were finished, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the young horseman's voice was closed, and then said, "Get ready to meet."
……
Pingshan Town is about a mile away, there is a big mansion, it is said that the owner is a big man in Qingzhou City, usually it is rare to see people moving here, and it is not easy to get a glimpse of it.
This will be two waves of people and horses with black masks in front of the official road in front of the house, and they will feel like they are about to merge, as if they don't know that the lively Pingshan Town is not far away.
The two looked at each other for a while and said a few slogans. One of them said coldly, "Why did you change the trading place temporarily?"
Another person replied: "Something happened temporarily, and the Qingzhou Mansion is investigating too hard, and if you don't take advantage of this time, everyone will not be able to get out of it." turned to a deep voice and asked, "My master has another word, and I need Mr. Zhang to explain it in person!"
"What nonsense?"
"At the end of last month, Mr. Zhang connived at his subordinates to kill and plunder, which is against the agreement you made with my master, right?"
