Chapter Seventy-Four: The Book of the Flying Pigeon
After Hou Quan left, Cui Feng, Zhong Hao and others had no choice but to wait in the village. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was no news for two days, and everyone in the stone sheds had some whispers.
Cui Feng's regiment training is mostly the servants of the Cui family, or the strong men recruited by the Cui family, they have all heard Cui Feng say that Zhong Hao is the best friend of Cui Ye, the future helmsman of the Cui family, so they don't have much opinion on Cui Feng protecting Zhong Hao.
However, some of the soldiers in the village regiment training who did not belong to the Cui family faction couldn't help but complain about Cui Feng taking in Zhong Hao, which brought such a big trouble, and some people even said in private that Zhong Hao should be handed over.
Cui Feng severely reprimanded these people who made small moves in private. Fortunately, it was only a few people, and it didn't have much impact. The workers of the Dumping Ridge Quarry are still working hard.
However, what makes Cui Feng secretly anxious is that the food and vegetables in the village are now running out.
There are as many as three or four thousand workers in the stone unloading shed and the stone unloading quarry, and it is impossible to hoard so much grain, vegetables and vegetables in the village, and they are generally transported from Qingzhou City once every half month.
The quarrying workers on the stone unloading ridge are all strong men, they work hard, they are naturally strong, they must eat a lot, and they will eat almost a hundred carts of grain and vegetables at a time, and they will eat almost all in half a month. In the past, it was transported once every half a month, and the bandits in Erlongshan never dared to touch the Cui family's convoy, so there were not many escorts.
But this time, the bandits in Erlong Mountain went crazy, and I am afraid that the convoy transporting grain will suffer a big loss. Although the grass robbers of Erlong Mountain may not be able to capture or kill all the people in the convoy, they will definitely cause great losses to the Cui family.
Although the people who ran away would definitely bring back the news that the stone unloading shed was surrounded, Cui Feng lost all his face. Besides, causing such a big loss, it will be Cui Feng's sin at that time. Cui Feng couldn't help but strongly hope that Commander Zhou's team would come soon.
In Cui Feng's eyes, those grass bandits in Erlong Mountain are nothing, if Hou Quan's letter is delivered, and the forbidden army commanded by the commander of Qingfeng Zhai Zhou comes, these local chickens and dogs in Erlong Mountain will only have the share of holding their heads and running around.
Although the armament is now relaxed, the forbidden army under the command of Qingfeng Village has no problem dealing with these bandits and strongmen.
In fact, it is the training of these regiments under Cui Feng, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than those grass couges. It's just that those grass robbers are outlaws, and their own regimental training is formed to protect the stone sheds, and they have no responsibility to suppress bandits, nor do they have the courage to fight with those outlaws.
However, if it is really urgent, with the regimental training of the unloading stone sheds, and fighting with the two or three hundred grass cowards of Erlong Mountain, it may not be lost. It's just that before the moment of life and death, these strong men participating in the regimental training are just earning a salary to support their families, and they will not fight hard with those outlaws, Cui Feng has to expect Hou Quan to deliver the letter as soon as possible.
On the third day, Hou Quan finally appeared, but not by himself, but by the bandits of Erlong Mountain.
It turned out that yesterday, Hou Quan, who had crossed the mountains for a day and a night, had just come out of the old forest when he encountered a group of bandits. Hou Quan wanted to avoid the back mountain of Erlong Mountain, and deliberately detoured from the vicinity of Baihu Mountain in the west, but he didn't think that he still encountered bandits, although Hou Quan resisted, but he was outnumbered and was still caught.
And the one who walks around here is the grass of Baihu Mountain.
Dundee, the whirlwind tiger who is the big boss of White Tiger Mountain, received a letter from Erlong Mountain and asked for many benefits, so he sent people to wait here. I thought that the people who unloaded the stone shed would definitely not come out of the stone mountain from here, but I didn't expect them to catch one.
At that moment, Dundee ordered someone to send it to Erlong Mountain. Of course, Dundee didn't work in vain, and he had to ask Erlongshan for a lot of benefits.
Wei Shen of Erlong Mountain was also helpless at this time, he did not hand over the stone shed, and he was not sure to attack it, so if the confrontation continued, if the officers and soldiers came, it was himself who suffered. Seeing that Baihu Mountain sent Hou Quan over, he was overjoyed at the moment, so he escorted Hou Quan to exert pressure in front of the unloading stone shed.
Cui Feng heard the information from his subordinates, and hurried to the wall, and Zhong Hao also followed to the wall.
Zhuyun Long Wei Shen took some small minions and escorted Hou Quan to stand one hundred and fifty steps away, Hou Quan's expression was awkward at this time, obviously suffering a lot.
Wei Shen said loudly to the people on the wall: "Cui Tuan is on the top, Wei is polite here." Now the stone sheds have been blocked by our three mountains, and our Erlong Mountain is not far from your stone sheds, and they have been safe and sound for many years. We Erlongshan have no intention of embarrassing you, as long as you hand over Zhong Hao, the murderer of our cottage Han Guang brothers, we will immediately release your brothers in the village. If not, even if I want to give up, our brothers in Erlongshan will not either. Our Erlongshan righteousness comes first, and we can't avenge our brothers, wouldn't it make others laugh. ”
Cui Feng saw that Hou Quan had been arrested and his village was blocked, so he was secretly anxious, but he was still calm on his face, and said to Erlongshan under the wall: "The people I unloaded and protected from the stone shed have never been handed over." Besides, you keep saying that Brother Han Guang was killed by Brother Hao, and you have lost your righteousness. Gu Laosi killed your brother in the cottage in front of you, you didn't go to avenge your brother, but you came here to entangle, you poured our stone shed village is a good match. If you know each other, you will quickly hand over our brother and Gu Laosi who came to our cottage late at night to commit murder. Otherwise, you also know the methods of our Cui family, and when the time comes, we will hand over to you Erlong Mountain. ”
The Mixed River Dragon Tie Dazhu had a short temper, and when he heard Cui Feng's threat, he couldn't help but be furious, and said, "Don't you dare to kill your people who unload the stone sheds?" After speaking, he took out the long knife on his waist and was about to cut Hou Quan. Originally, he came to deter the stone unloading shack, but now he was scared by the stone unloading shack, and he could endure this breath when he crossed the river dragon iron pillar.
However, Tie Dazhu was stopped by Wei Shen in a low voice, and until the last moment, there was no need to break the net with the fish in the stone shed.
Wei Shen said loudly: "Cui Tuan Lian, you don't have to scare us. Since we dare to do it in Erlongshan, we are not afraid of things. Are your Cui family's methods remarkable? With the ability of your Cui family, how many people can be mobilized to attack our Erlong Mountain? Even if it is captured, there are many mountains here in Qingzhou, and we will not be able to go to other mountains. But if the net is really broken, don't think about living a stable life in the future. Give you another day to think about it, tomorrow at noon, if you don't hand over again, don't blame us for being polite. ”
Cui Feng laughed and said, "Your grandfather Cui, I'm scared?" If you have the courage, let the horses come and attack our unloading stone shed, and when you open the village, you don't want to kill whoever you want, and if you don't have the courage, don't make noise here. "Cui Feng has been in the forbidden army, and he is still very confident in the solidity of the village he has set up.
The most indispensable thing is the stone, and the walls of the stone sheds are all made of bluestone. If someone attacks the stockade, some are ready-made stones to make stone guards. Besides, there are so many laborers in the village, even if they don't need to help guard the village, just let them carry the stones.
As for the two or three hundred people in Erlong Mountain, they are just a group of rabble, they have neither the weapons to attack the village, nor the experience of attacking the village.
Seeing that Cui Feng was soft and hard, Long Wei dropped a sentence of "Let's see", and left with everyone.
After the people from Erlong Mountain left, Cui Feng's face suddenly turned into a worried solemnity.
Zhong Hao stepped forward to ask about the reason, and Cui Feng told Zhong Hao about the fact that the food and vegetables in the village were delivered by the Cui family's team for half a month and his own concerns. Cui Feng said in a deep voice: "I'm not afraid that they will attack the village, I'm afraid that they will rob and kill the convoy, then the loss to the Cui family will be too great." I'm afraid that the convoy transporting food and vegetables will come in the next two days, and I'm really worried. ”
Zhong Hao was silent for a while. He really didn't understand why the bandits of Erlong Mountain were so crazy, it was obvious that Gu Laosi had killed the mountain tiger Han Guang, but they had to come to arrest him.
Zhong Hao didn't know that money could make ghosts grind, and Han Guang's death was settled by Gu Laosi with 300 yuan. In addition, Ruyun Long Wei Shen told the brothers in the cottage that Zhong Hao killed Han Guang. Han Guang is a bold person, and many brothers on the mountain are good friends with him, so they are all indignant and demand that Zhong Hao must be killed to avenge Han Guang. Wei Shen, the dragon who entered the clouds, was also difficult to ride a tiger, and he couldn't go against the will of the people, so he insisted on asking Zhong Hao. Otherwise, the hearts of the people will be scattered, and the team will be difficult to lead.
The reason for Erlongshan's madness couldn't be figured out for a while, but the current predicament had to be solved. However, the stone unloading shed was blocked, and Zhong Hao didn't have the righteousness to stand up and say, hand me over, so that they would remove the blockade. Zhong Hao still takes his life very seriously, and he can't be sent to death easily.
The main reason for the dilemma faced by the unloading shed is that the news cannot be transmitted. If it is left to the future life, this is not a problem at all, and it will be solved with a phone call, but there is none.
Zhong Hao couldn't help but think about the means of communication he knew, to see what he could use? When Zhong Hao was thinking, he suddenly saw a few pigeons flying in front of him and landing on a roof, Zhong Hao had a flash of inspiration in his mind, carrier pigeons, yes, you can use carrier pigeons!
Immediately, Zhong Hao excitedly pointed to the pigeons and said, "Cui Tuan Lian, these pigeons are raised by people in the village?" ”
Before Cui Feng could answer, his attendant Wang San hurriedly said: "This pigeon can't be eaten, this is my father's lifeblood." ”
Zhong Hao couldn't help but be flashed by Wang San, why do you want to eat pigeons? What became your father's lifeline? Where is this?
Zhong Hao thought about it for a while, and realized that people thought he wanted to eat his pigeons. Zhong Hao hurriedly explained to him, and asked about the situation of this pigeon by the way.
When Zhong Hao heard what Wang San said, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
It turned out that Wang San's father was a small steward in Cuifu, and he always liked to tame birds, and this pigeon was also one of his favorite birds. These pigeons, when Wang San's father was domesticated, often let Wang San feed them, and he was familiar with Wang San. Wang San's father's birds, after they were all tamed, were not in the cage, but the royal father had a skill in taming birds, and his birds never flew away or returned. After Wang San came to the stone unloading shed village to train the villagers, these few actually found Wang San by themselves. Wang San is also fond of it, every time these pigeons come to the stone shed, they will feed it a lot of food, and these pigeons, every day after eating enough in the stone shed, will fly back to Wang San's father every night.
Zhong Hao couldn't be overjoyed after listening to Wang San's words, this is simply a ready-made carrier pigeon. Originally, Zhong Hao was worried that this pigeon was raised by people in the village, and it was impossible to bring the letter to Qingzhou City without training. Now I heard Wang San say that these pigeons go back to his father every night and tie the letter to their feet, isn't this a ready-made carrier pigeon? How can you not be happy.
At that moment, Zhong Hao told Cui Feng and Wang San about his idea of letting this pigeon bring Xin'er, and the two were also very happy.
Cui Feng patted his thigh and said, "Brother Hao is still smart, why didn't my old Cui think of it!" ”
Wang San also said: "I deal with these pigeons every day, why can't I remember this stubble, or Zhong Gongzi is smart, and the reader is fast." ”
Zhong Hao smiled: "I also learned from an ancient book, and occasionally saw that pigeons can be domesticated for use in letters. As for how to domesticate, I don't, the third brother of the king of the loss of this pigeon was originally a ready-made carrier pigeon. ”
In fact, Zhong Hao said that he saw a record of carrier pigeons in ancient books, and it was really crooked. Five generations later, Wang Renyu, a Zhou literati, wrote a special chapter on "Passing the Book Pigeon" in the book of "Kaiyuan Tianbao Legacy", which was recorded in the book: "When Zhang Jiuling was a teenager, he raised a group of pigeons, and every time he exchanged letters with his relatives, he only used the book to tie the pigeon foot, and flew to cast it according to the place he taught. It's just that Zhong Hao hasn't read it, and of course Cui Feng and Wang San don't know that there is this book.
At that moment, Cui Feng asked people to write down the situation of the stone sheds on a note, and wrote Zhong Hao's information that he was also in the stone sheds, and Wang San wrote a few words on the note, asking his father to send the note to Cui Ye as soon as possible. Wang San tied the note to the pigeon's feet. Liu Xu was afraid that something would go wrong, so he asked people to write two more sheets and let Wang San tie them to the feet of the other two pigeons.
Wang San released a few pigeons.
Although this pigeon had to fly back to the city first, and the people in the city would send a message to Commander Zhou, Qingfeng Town was not too far from Qingzhou City, and it would take more than an hour to arrive.
Everyone couldn't help but be excited, the blockade of the three mountains on the stone sheds should be broken soon.
