Chapter 29: Crisis
The three of them immediately hurried out of the door and hurried towards the council hall, at this time it was already moonlight outside, and the moonlight appeared and disappeared in the dark clouds, and it was okay to walk on the road by the moonlight.
When I arrived at the conference hall, it was already full of people, the three masters were sitting on the Taishi chair, and the rest of the people, including Zheng Shou, Guo Zheng, Feng Si, Deng Shang, the fat man with double knives on his back that he saw at the bottom of the mountain yesterday, and a total of more than ten leading figures that Su Lian didn't know, etc., were all standing in the hall.
Su Lian quietly squeezed into the crowd, found Zheng Shou, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Zheng, what's wrong?" ”
Zheng Shou shook his head and said: "It's not clear about the details yet, the big boss hasn't said it yet, but this warning bell generally means that someone has come to commit a crime under the mountain......"
"Is there a crime under the mountain? Soldiers? Su Lian guessed in surprise.
"Eight or nine is not far from ten, and the stockade is indeed being targeted by Tartar officers and soldiers now......" Zheng Shou nodded.
At this time, Guo Rongtai, the big boss, looked at the Qian side behind him, saw that he nodded and signaled that everyone had almost arrived, cleared his throat, and said: "Everyone, warn under the mountain, there must be another Tartar officer and soldier coming." However, it is still unclear how many officers and soldiers there are at the foot of the mountain now, and where they have arrived, so I asked everyone to come over, first, to let the brothers have a preparation, and secondly, I hope that everyone will come up with ideas, if the officers and soldiers are surrounding the village, how will we deal with it......
The fat man with two knives in his back immediately pulled up his sleeves, took a step forward and said: "No matter how much he comes, if he dares to enter the mountain, let's ambush him again as last time, and make sure that he has no return!" ”
"Zhao Fatzi, what you said is simple, there were less than 1,000 officers and soldiers last time, of course it is easy to fight, I estimate that they must be prepared this time, if there are more people, we may not be able to withstand it......" The one who spoke was the tall and strong leader that Su Lian saw at the bottom of the mountain yesterday, according to Zheng Shou, it was Feng Si's younger brother Feng Jiu.
"Feng Laojiu, then what do you say?" Zhao Fatzi glared.
Feng Jiu was also glaring, and didn't give up at all: "Aren't I thinking, everyone came here to find a way, let's discuss it together, what's the hurry......
Zheng Shou stepped forward at this time and said, "Big boss, I don't know if anyone is going to visit under the mountain?" Is there a detailed report on the Tartar officers and soldiers? ”
Su Lian nodded secretly, Zheng Shou was still relatively calm and calm-headed. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent must first listen to the details of the other party's situation before formulating corresponding countermeasures.
"Fourth, what's the situation over there?" Guo Rongtai turned his head to Sun Deya and asked.
Sun Deya groaned: "Chen Renxiong has been sent to investigate, and he has not returned yet......"
"Are you just sending out spies all the way?" Su Lian interjected at this time.
Sun Deya saw that it was Su Lian who asked, so he couldn't help but glance at him, and said angrily: "There are only so many of us, do we want to send them all out?" A little Tartar officers and soldiers are not a big deal, and there is no need to mobilize the army......"
Ye Wuyang had been hiding behind Su Lian, and when he saw Sun Deya's bad attitude, he snorted lightly and scolded in a low voice: "Black old Sun, shameless to die!" ”
Su Lian looked back at her funny, she only smiled and stuck out her tongue.
"May I ask the fourth master, how long has Steward Chen been out?" Su Lian asked with a calm smile.
"It's less than half an hour, what's the problem?" Sun Deya didn't have a good face at all towards Su Lian, and raised his head and replied.
"No problem." Su Lian ignored him anymore and said to Guo Rongtai: "Big boss, the situation is urgent, I suggest that we wait for another half an hour, if there is still no return, we can send a second passer-by to go down to see the situation......
"You're the one who doesn't believe me?" Sun Deya was aggressive.
Su Lian smiled and said, "Four masters, I didn't believe anyone, I just put forward a suggestion for the sake of safety." ”
"Fourth, I think what Brother Su said makes sense." Guo Rongtai nodded and said, "Let's wait for another half an hour, and if there is a return, we will discuss how to deal with it." ”
"Then what are we going to do here for half an hour?" Zhao Fatzi said strangely.
Su Lian said calmly: "Of course not. He asked Zheng Shou again: "Brother Zheng, how many doors do we have in the village?" ”
"The main gate is in the east, and there is a small road in the north and south, a total of three gates." Zheng Shou replied.
Su Lian thought about it, and then said to Guo Rongtai: "Big boss, no matter how many officers and soldiers there are, in order to facilitate the ambush, we need to make some preparations. ”
"Brother Su, what do you think we have to prepare?" Guo Rongtai said.
"First, prepare for smoke, although the road in the mountains is difficult, it is not possible to ensure that the Tartars can find more mountain roads, so it is necessary to prepare wet firewood on the north and south sides to create smoke and make it difficult for them to walk." Su Lian talked eloquently and continued: "Second, to let the Tartar officers and soldiers mess with themselves, we need suspicious soldiers, pile dry firewood at the north gate, and make a fire to attract the Tartar officers and soldiers up the mountain and fall into the ambush circle we prepared. Su Lian paused, and then asked Guo Rongtai: "Big boss, we should still have people outside, right?" ”
"Of course there is, Ma San and they are outside." Guo Rongtai saw that Su Lian's thinking was clear, and he was disturbed and suspicious, one by one, and he was very happy in his heart, he was really a talent.
"Then of course we have to send a signal for them to kill back, let's kill them again inside and outside, and make sure that the Tartar Piece Armor is not left." Su Lian said loudly.
"Good!" Guo Rongtai slapped the chair and shouted, "Brother Yisu, let's prepare." ”
"Big boss, the first two things, we really have to start preparing now, but we have to wait for the signal from the mountain to send out before acting." Su Lian said calmly, thought about it and said, "As for notifying the people outside, you need to send a signal now." ”
"Well, let's do it, Feng Jiu and Zhao Fatzi, you go and prepare wet firewood, pile it on the mountainsides on both sides, and watch the signal and be ready to make smoke at any time" Guo Rongtai said to a man in a green shirt with a cold face and a scar from the corner of his mouth to his chin: "Fu Zhun you go to the north to prepare dry firewood, prepare more, and watch the signal ignite and burn." ”
The three of them took the order and left, and everyone in the hall was a little geared up for a while, as if they were ready for a big battle at any time. Half an hour has arrived in a blink of an eye, Chen Renxiong still has no return to send it, Sun Deya's face is ugly, I am afraid that the spies under the mountain are more than lucky.
"Fourth, look, do you want to send some more people down to have a look?" Guo Rongtai said to Sun Deya.
Who knew that Sun Deya tilted his head and said: "Chen Renxiong is the head of my hall, and the people he brought out are all elites, I think he will come back, let's wait a little longer......"
Some people in the hall sighed, this Sun Deya completely ignored the overall situation, his knowledge was short-sighted, and he was really a mud that couldn't support the wall. Zheng Shou glared at him even more, but he couldn't refute him.
Guo Rongtai looked at Ye Kanglong again, and saw that he had been hanging his head and lowering his eyebrows, not moving like a clock, and he was also helpless.
"I'll go!" Su Lian stepped forward and said: "The matter is urgent, there is no room for delay, just ask the big boss to prepare everything I just said, and wait for my signal to ......."
"Brother Su, are you sure that you will go alone?" Guo Rongtai asked.
"It's okay, it's just to check the situation, I'll go and get back quickly." Su Lian said with a smile.
"Brother Su, I'll go with you!" Zheng Shou stood up and said.
"I'll go with you too!" But it was Guo Zheng who stood up, his face was calm, his face was calm, and his eyes were eager.
"Well, in that case, I might be able to do more." Su Lian smiled gratefully at Zheng Shou and Guo Zheng.
"I'll go too!" But it was Ye Wuyang behind Su Lian who jumped out.
"You're back!" Ye Kanglong shouted at this time, and said to Ye Wuyang: "What do the girls know, come over to me." ”
"Daddy!" Ye Wuyang was eager to try, and pouted to Ye Kanglong dissatisfied.
"Come back!" Ye Kanglong shouted categorically. Ye Wuyang reluctantly walked over, stood beside Ye Kanglong, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but was glared at by Ye Kanglong's eyes, so he had to keep silent, and looked back at Su Lian.
Su Lian was stunned, it turned out that Ye Wuyang was Ye Kanglong's daughter, why didn't he expect it?
Zheng Shou patted Su Lian and said, "Brother Su, shall we set off now?" ”
Su Lian nodded and said, "Well, Brother Zheng, Brother Guo, then let's go down and have a look first." After that, he hugged Guo Rongtai with a fist, turned around and went out, plus Cheng Mo, and the group of four disappeared into the night moonlight.
