Chapter 174: Another Wave
In the desecration of the water, calm was restored again, and the villagers, who had been alarmed, went back to their homes and went back to sleep.
But Horry's house was lively again.
There were five or six new knights, who were about to be future colleagues, and Li Yan and Huo Yi naturally lost their sleepiness for a while.
Moreover, Guan Ping and the others naturally did not eat dinner, perhaps, when they were in a hurry, they had nibbled on some dry food pads to pass their bellies, but at this time, as a hospitable host, Huo Li Chang was busy, preparing food for Guan Ping and them.
The food was quickly served, and when Guan Ping and several family members were about to devour it, they suddenly felt that the table trembled faintly. Being in Wei County, Jizhou, Guan Ping still knows some common sense in the army.
Dropping his job, Guan Ping quickly lay on the ground and listened with his ears close to the ground.
has the same action as Guan Ping, as well as Huo Lichang.
Obviously, this is another person who is coming in the night.
Moreover, it is very likely that they are still knights, and there are quite a few of them.
Otherwise, the desktop wouldn't be trembling.
Soon, Guan Ping and Huo Yuanjie got up in disbelief.
Huo Yuanjie is a veteran in the army, so he is naturally familiar with these common senses; Guan Ping has been in the army for a long time, and after passing through the mountain bandits and road tyrants along the road, he gradually mastered these common senses. The two quickly identified that there were more than a dozen cavalrymen coming towards the desecrated water.
Is this someone who missed the night and came to spend the night in the water, or did bandits and bandits come to rob all night?
Everyone looked at each other.
Guan Ping and Huo Yuanjie glanced at each other, and they both felt sloppy. Even if the visitor is here to stay overnight, they can welcome people in, but what if it is a bandit attack? If you don't prepare for it, you're afraid that you'll be in trouble, right?
"Chief Hori, you still organize the young and strong to form a gun formation, and the six horsemen I brought will respond to the plan."
"If it's a passenger who misses the accommodation, it's nothing; In case the bandits and bandits come to rob the house at night, they will also retreat when they see our formation. If we don't retreat, we won't be afraid of fighting. Guan Ping suggested.
This way from Wei County, Jizhou to the border of Hanzhong, there are too many mountain bandits and road tyrants, and Guan Ping already has experience.
If he really encounters bandits and bandits, Guan Pingduo will rush up and fight for a while. Anyway, there is no martial artist in the Ning Gang Realm among the bandits and bandits, and under the Ning Gang Realm, he is not afraid of anyone!
But now, there are more than ten riders in this group of unknown visitors.
Guan Ping was not worried about his own safety, but worried about the villagers in the desecration water. If the other party is really a bandit and a bandit, and he doesn't fight to the death, those young people in the township, as well as the villagers, can't stop the thieves from attacking and killing.
Horry naturally understands this.
Therefore, Guan Ping's suggestion, Huo Lichang immediately adopted it.
The young men were still in the courtyard, and quickly rushed to the entrance of the village to gather according to the arrangement just now. Those who row guns continue to line up their guns, and those who seize the commanding heights continue to seize the commanding heights; Guan Ping and the five family members under his command also quickly turned on their horses and rushed to the entrance of the village to assemble.
……
At the entrance of the village, the bonfire was lit again, and the villagers were awakened again.
Just now, the villagers had a false alarm, and they didn't feel sleepy for a while after returning home, and when they saw the fire at the entrance of the village, they all subconsciously knew that there were many strangers coming.
As for whether the comer is friend or foe, Horry doesn't know, how can they, the little villagers, know?
Perhaps, it was another false alarm; Perhaps, it is really bandits and robbers who are coming.
The villagers' minds are simple, whether it is another false alarm, or if the bandits and bandits are really attacking, they gather on the threshing floor in the village, this must be no problem.
Therefore, the villagers who had just returned to their respective homes also returned to the threshing floor again, waiting for the dust to settle at the entrance of the village.
In fact, this time, Horry grew up to the point where he didn't ring the alarm bell or ask the villagers to gather on the threshing floor. In Huo Lichang's opinion, this is very likely to be another false alarm, and the people who come are similar to Guan Ping and them, they all came to stay overnight by mistake.
Of course, it is not excluded that the person who came is a bandit and a bandit.
It's just that there is now a new force in the water, and Huo Li is not afraid of fighting to the death with the enemy.
The sound of horses' hooves stopped outside the light of the bonfire, similar to the situation of Guan Ping and them just now, and it was obvious that the visitors saw the pair of bonfires at the entrance of the village, as well as the small military formation behind the bonfires, and they were also hesitant to move forward.
"This is the desecrated water under the rule of Shangyong City, whoever is coming, report the name quickly!"
"If you are a passer-by, please take a detour; If it's a bandit or a bandit, Ben Li Chang advises you to go back to the cottage to wash and sleep. This place is only twenty miles away from Shangyong City, and the warning signal has been issued, and the officers and soldiers will arrive within half an hour! ”
As he had just done before, Horry asked loudly.
The group of people on the other side were not as bold as Guan Ping just now, even if Huo Yuanjie and the others showed their identities, the other party still didn't dare to come to answer them, which made Huo Yuanjie alert: These guys, maybe they are really bandits and bandits!
"Dare to ask, in Shangyong City, now Uncle Liu Huang is in charge?"
"We were recruited by Uncle Liuhuang's letter and came to Shangyong City to join Uncle Liuhuang!"
There was a long silence on the other side, and then someone answered loudly, obviously not the same as the question.
However, Huo Yuanjie still heard some extraneous meanings from these people's words.
These people may really be recruited by Uncle Liu Huang, but their way is not very good.
Or rather, there is something wrong with the origin of these people.
Gain, the way of reporting names in this era is to say "so-and-so is so-and-so", and will not mention a word about the origin.
For example, Zhao Yun's registration format is: I am Changshan Zhao Zilong; Zhang Fei's registration format is: I am Zhang Yide, a Yanren. And when Guan Ping reported his name just now, it was also reported as "Guan Ping of Wei County".
If you don't give your name and don't show your body, then it means that there is something wrong with the person who answered.
……
"Since you heroes are recruited by Uncle Liu's letter, do you dare to verify it?" Li Yan stood in front and asked loudly.
Huo Lichang noticed the problem, and Li Yan naturally noticed it. He was very worried, are these people going around robbing houses under the guise of "being recruited by Uncle Liu", wouldn't this ruin Uncle Liu's reputation?
is about to become a vassal of Uncle Liu, Li Yan must verify it.
Just like just now, after Guan Ping and the others entered the village, they took out a letter of solicitation, which was written by Uncle Liu Huang himself.
Li Yan also has such a solicitation letter.
So, as soon as the letters of the two were compared, they knew that this was not fake.
In this section, Guan Ping also thought of it.
Since the people on the other side did not dare to step into the light of the bonfire, he was the only one who went to the other side and took the solicitation letters from those people in order to verify the authenticity. These people said that they were also recruited by Uncle Liu Huang, and they must have a similar type of silk book on them.
If there is no such solicitation letter, then these people must be swaggering robbers.
As for saying that I lost the solicitation letter halfway?
I'm afraid that even three-year-old children won't believe this kind of lie!
Guan Ping is proud of his martial arts, and he is not worried about being calculated by the other party, as long as the other party does not have a martial artist in the Condensation Realm, he can kill him seven in and seven out. Besides, if there are small bandits and bandits, if there are martial artists in the Condensation Realm, how can they rob homes and houses for a long time?
