In fact, the person who observed the three red Kong Ming lanterns and reported the news to Li Xiang was very far away from the county seat of Deqing, so far that Liao Shikai could not imagine it at all.

The north of Deqing County is easterly, just ten miles away from Deqing County, and it is a rungling ridge that does not smell one.

The hills are not too steep and the woods are not very dense, but the Ridge has one advantage: it leads to the towns to the east and to the north to the hills.

On the thickest tree in Runghill, a young man under the age of eighteen placed a long brass tubular object on a branch and looked intently south. In the line of sight, the battle situation in Deqing County is in full view.

The fuchsia copper tube was too shiny, but fortunately it wrapped most of the tube body in silk.

The young man nervously hugged the brass pipe, for fear of any damage.

Lunch was eaten in turns, and the young man had just finished his last bite before half a stick of incense, and was caught up in the tree by his captain.

"Who makes our eyes brightest, and it's not worrying if we change someone else's captain." The young man comforted himself so in his heart.

Thinking of the captain, the young man involuntarily glanced under the tree, then immediately turned his head and continued to stare in the direction of Deqing County. If the owner's big event is mistaken, the whole family will be driven to the small mine to suffer!

Under the fast-growing tree stretched out in the warm sun, a lean man with sharp eyes sat on a rock.

You can see that this man in the prime of life has a large scar on his exposed neck, and the scar left by the burn extends all the way to the back of the collar, and I don't know how he survived the pain.

Several women came out of a shack not far away and brought hot broth. The first bowl of meat was the most, of course, in the hands of the captain, and the other young people also had it.

The middle-aged man first took a sip, raised his eyebrows a few times, and then gulped down.

The other team members waited for the captain to drink before holding their own wooden or porcelain bowls, and they were not afraid of being hot.

None of the bowls were intact, but fortunately they were washed clean last night, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to drink.

The middle-aged man drank most of the bowl, and suddenly realized that his team's actions were inappropriate, he put down the bowl, and said in a suppressed voice: "Be damn quiet, don't invite the scouts of Fang Lajun, we are not the only ones in this mountain." ”

"Don't worry, leopard head, the brothers who are watching are not eating dry food." A small-eyed man said, but still lowered his voice, "The main thing is that I haven't eaten a bite of hot ...... for several days."

Leopard Leader is not the name of the middle-aged man, but their team is a leopard team, and the captain is naturally Leopard Leader.

The leopard head was not good at speaking ill of this old acquaintance, so he had to suppress his anger, and his eyes avoided a pinch of black hair on the right side of the other party's nose, "The third child of the Ding family, you have a son, and the family has opened a business and a caravan, of course you are not afraid." ”

"But there are no brothers in our team, and Lao Tzu wants to bring them back with all their beards and tails. Two days ago, because of their rough work, the team in the west confronted the Fang La army who entered the mountains, lost three lives, and almost lost the owner's treasure. ”

"So let's act, we must be careful and careful. If it weren't for the fact that these women were sure that they would not emit smoke while cooking, and they tried again last night, Lao Tzu would not have let you drink hot food. What's wrong with eating cold, is it important to eat or to live? ”

The third member of the Ding family, who became the vice captain, had nothing to say, and the other three team members were touched in their hearts, and they didn't dare to make a sound when they drank the soup.

After drinking the hot soup, the three team members clasped their fists at the captain, and then went to rotate the few people who were watching back.

A bamboo pipe fell from the tree, and a young man who had just turned fifteen picked it up and whispered in the leopard's ear: "The battle is fierce, and many people from the Fang La army have landed in the city. ”

The leopard head stood up, looked south, and clenched his sharp knife.

The young man holding the brass pipe in the tree whistled the bark whistle in his mouth, which sounded like a sparrow.

The third child of the Ding family walked to the leopard's head and looked up at the young man in the tree together. The branches and leaves swayed slightly, and the figure of the young man in the tree was not real.

"There is actually a red Kong Ming lantern?! The old owner is not in good condition......" The leopard head ordered to pack up his things while waiting for the results of the observation of the young man in the tree.

Without warning, the whistle turned to a rapid one.

One of the team members, who had just been replaced, was drinking the broth with a shake of his hand and threw the wooden bowl on the ground.

The copper pipe was lowered by a rope, and the leopard's head carefully took it, cutting it in half with a little force. He wrapped the brass pipe in two layers of silk and linen, placed it in the wooden box on his back, and shook it twice more without hearing a sound, and then he exhaled.

While the leopard head was busy, he commanded everyone, "Everyone gather, pack up your things, and let's return immediately." ”

The young man in the tree jumped down, covered his mouth in the ear of the leopard head, and said, "Leopard head, it's three red Kong Ming lanterns. Near the city gate tower, there is a large group of people who are fighting fiercely, I'm afraid it's not the old village owner who is desperate, right? ”

"At this point? Even if the Fang La army came to reinforcements, the battle situation should not have collapsed so quickly, what trick did the Fang La army use? Leopard Head asked the team to discard all the supplies except weapons and water.

"I don't know, anyway, Fang Lajun suddenly landed in the city, and then the Kong Ming lantern was put into the sky." The young man replied.

Just by speaking, everyone is ready.

Leopard Head made a long story short, "The message is very simple, just four words: 100,000 urgent." ”

"I took the six brothers with the best legs and feet to set off first, and the third elder of the Ding family took the remaining three people to clean up this side, and then immediately followed."

"Let's go!"

The leopard head led people to set off, and the third child of the Ding family stood in place in a daze.

The second donkey, who had joined the owner's personal guard for a short time, snorted and comforted the third child of the Ding family: "What's the spirit, does he have a third brother in his family who is rich?" The third brother's father had worshiped Uncle Liu Sheng, and he could only climb up step by step. ”

The leopard-headed family can only be regarded as the middle and lower class in the village, and in the Mingyuezhai era, it was a farmer who was only responsible for farming, unlike the third child of the Ding family.

The credit for reporting the news is not big or small, but for the sake of his own future, the leopard head had to be untruthful and leave the old acquaintance of the third child of the Ding family behind.

The three elders of the Ding family are ugly, but they are careful, otherwise his father would not have the cheekiness to go to Liu Sheng and stuff him into the owner's personal guard.

The idea of the leopard head, the third child of the Ding family quickly thought about it. He doesn't blame the leopard head, after all, the leopard head didn't do too much, he just didn't want to share the credit.

used to be some old acquaintances, but when we meet again in the future, there will only be embarrassment and business.

The third child of the Ding family shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart: The meritorious service can only come by yourself, so it's okay, the owner values the people around him, but there are also all kinds of tests. As long as you prove your ability, the owner will support one or two. There are brothers and sisters in the family, and if you want to get more when you divide the family, you still have to rely on yourself!

The second donkey and the other two newly recruited farmer's guards pulled over a group of robbers who were tied up strongly.

"Third brother, someone brought it."

The second donkey had a big bucktooth in his mouth, and he smiled brightly at this time, and hugged his fists to the third elder of the Ding family who had taken care of him since childhood.

The third child of the Ding family looked at the second donkey with a very complicated look, as if he had memories, but more sympathy.

"There are seven bandits in all, two brothers each, and you have three."

"Let's do it, give them a good time!" The third elder of the Ding family said to the second donkey, and also to the other two team members, without any fluctuation in tone.

The rounder team members were clearly mentally prepared, slashing off the head of one of the bandits and slashing the chest of another. The team's hands shook a few times, and he was unable to slash down the second bandit who was struggling to dodge.

The bandits who were tied together were still in a trance under hunger when they heard the cold and ruthless verdict of the third elder of the Ding family. However, the moment the knife fell, they immediately exploded.

Six bandits tried to break free from the ropes and escape.

However, first, there was a corpse dragging it, second, there was a guy who was almost frightened crazy, and third, Zhang Huang didn't exert any strength in one place, where could he break free?

Most of the women screamed, hugged each other and closed their eyes.

Blood gushed from the headless corpses, bandits with wounds in the chest screamed, and the six men besieging the city were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, scurrying around for a way out.

With strips of cloth tied to their mouths, the five bandits shook their heads desperately and begged for mercy, but they could only make a "whine" sound.

The smell of feces and urine pollutes the thriving forests.
