Chapter Forty-Six: The Plans of the City Guards

The group walked in this plain for two days, and the fifty warriors in the middle had to not only march, but also undergo high-intensity training.

Looking at the intensity of their training, Xiao Chuan was very worried that they would receive trauma, and there was still a lack of doctors in the team, but Xiao Chuan was more worried about Chen Xiangyi.

Chen Xiangyi is no longer on the horse, but wearing a somewhat shabby black hardcover, carrying a dirt bag on her back, marching with weights, her beautiful face is full of sweat, and her beautiful big eyes are all firm, Xiaochuan is a little moved, looking at her has been training with high intensity for two days, no matter how Xiaochuan stops her, she is bent on going her own way, and she has to carry out weight-bearing training.

"There is a city, my lord" Han Gang's deep voice came, Xiao Chuan looked ahead, and saw a city wall on the horizon in the distance, and the city wall was seen from a distance, like a giant dragon in the sky.

Xiao Chuan's heart was relieved, now he can go into the city to purchase, buy some things, buy a few more batches of mules and horses, and increase the transportation capacity. Do you have your own mission to complete?

Looking forward to that group of horse thieves, then I finally have cavalry, and there will be no more embarrassment of not being able to pursue after victory.

Xiao Chuan asked everyone to put away their weapons and armor, looking like a wave of homeless people, they came to the city wall, looking at the word Dongping written on the city gate, Xiao Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, and after this place, he arrived at his own hundred households.

"Di Di Di, complete the task and get a team of nine-star horse thieves, whether to summon now"

"No" Xiao Chuan said, now so many people, still plain, and there is nothing to cover, when the time comes, it will appear in an instant, and no one will even believe that it is his own family.

Xiao Chuan looked at the city wall again, and there was a moat ten meters wide outside the wall, and there was a suspension bridge in the middle, but it was hoisted.

On the city wall, there was a row of soldiers wearing armor and holding bows and arrows, and in the middle was a man wearing iron armor similar to a general, he had a beard, looked a little old, looked at Xiaochuan and a few people with a small eye, and shouted: "The county order decrees, anyone who approaches the county seat dies!" He shuddered at the thought of the one he was going to pass by in the county town recently, and said, "No one is allowed to approach at any very moment."

However, even in normal times, these refugees are not allowed to enter, firstly to consume food, and secondly, to affect public order, and these county officials are not allowed to enter the city for the sake of their own political achievements.

"I am a member of the Ming Dynasty and a scholar, what right do you have in Dongping County to prevent us from entering the city" Wang Youcai's eyes widened and shouted loudly, and the crowd behind him also shouted.

"How do I know that you are not thieves, this is a special period, no one is allowed to enter the city" After the general finished speaking, he glanced at the baggage car behind Xiaochuan with a greedy gaze, and then looked at the good complexions of Xiaochuan and a few people, and said: "I see that several of you are homeless, and the homeless airport is naked, how can you look so energetic like you,"

Xiaochuan is also helpless, but the baggage behind is not easy to explain, and he can't tell them that he robbed the bandits.

Wang Youcai's rectum shouted directly: "This is what we robbed the bandits." ”

Hahaha!!! A kind of soldier on the city wall laughed loudly, and the general sneered disdainfully: "Just a few of you have robbed the bandits, it's really laughing at me." ”

"We defeated Wang Lao'er's bandits and robbed him of his things," Wang Youcai shouted proudly.

The disdainful whisper on the city wall became louder, and the general's eyes looked at Xiaochuan and the others, he didn't think that Xiaochuan and the others were really meticulous, just that they were a group of homeless people with money and food, and it was the meaning of the county order not to let them in. Hearing Wang Youcai say this, he laughed and said: "Don't make me laugh, just a hundred of you, do you know how many people Wang Lao Er has, fifty horse thieves, hundreds of armored thieves, and five hundred people, you can't even stuff people's teeth." ”

The soldiers let out a disdainful sneer, not wanting that the seemingly wealthy refugees would be able to outfight the murderous thief.

The general on the city wall looked greedily at Xiaochuan and the others, so many bags, how much grain should be in them, and the people who have these grains will definitely not be less than the silver taels, if he can snatch these grains, he will definitely have more money than those people who robbed them a few times before, thinking that the refugees he robbed a few times ago don't have much money at all, this wave will definitely make a lot of money for himself, and he looked at his two lieutenant generals, and the two of them also looked at it at the same time.

"Big brother, this wave of homeless people who came this time looks very rich, let's stabilize them first" said with a greedy look,

"Yes, that's a lot richer than the previous few times, haha, enough for our brother to eat for a while," said another.

The general's name is Wang Shuang, because the county commander is timid and the thieves are unwilling to let the refugees into the city, so he takes advantage of the convenience to ask the refugees outside, and when he encounters no money, he directly tells others not to let them in. Listening to the shouting and scolding below, he frowned and shouted: "Don't scream, I know your situation, I will react to the county order, wait, you are living outside the city today, and wait for the county order to reply tomorrow"

If the ordinary homeless people would be deceived by him, but Xiao Chuan and his entourage saw something strange, however, Xiao Chuan is not afraid of what kind of fraud this guy plays, just the more than 100 people on the city wall, he is really not afraid of what tricks they play, more than 50 militia under his command, high-intensity marching training every day, and he is full of confidence in fighting this kind of soldier who has never seen blood at all.

"Okay, we'll be stationed one mile away from this city today," Xiao Chuan shouted, and the king on the city wall was overjoyed, looking at the bright baggage cart, his eyes straightened.

The wagons stopped next to a forest about four or five hundred meters from the city, set up a cauldron and began to cook rice.

The sunset is getting darker and darker, and there is no longer a trace of red glow in the sky, and the smoke rises high, that Huang Chunsheng looked at the rice cooked in the iron pot in front of him, smelled the fragrance, and felt an indescribable excitement and peace of mind in his heart, looking at the homeless people queuing up in front of him to eat, looking at the joy on their faces at the moment, his heart became more and more happy,

remembered that when he took this pair of homeless people, they ate and slept in the open air, and they couldn't eat enough, but after following Xiaochuan, they no longer had the sad look they had when they followed them.

"I'm first, I'm a wounded soldier, and the son said that I give priority to cooking" A strong man with a missing left arm walked in front of Huang Chunsheng with a rice bowl.

The homeless people all looked at this strong man with admiration and envy.

Huang Chunsheng showed a smile at him, and dug up half a spoonful of rice for him, this strong man turned out to be a lazy man in the village, who didn't work, but this time there was one less cheating, which was originally a painful thing, but the princess would give them silver money every month, and give these seriously injured all kinds of privileges, causing those who were not injured to want to lose an arm and a leg.

There are also those sergeants who killed the thieves in the battle last time, and they all have money at home, which caused an uproar among these homeless people, and the court is a soldier, and there is not necessarily a pension for dying in battle, but Xiaochuan has a large amount of reward for killing an enemy, and these people who have not been selected for the militia are all selling their muscles next to Xiaochuan every day, hoping that they will be chosen.

"Come, let one, let one go" At this time, an old man with a lonely face walked over, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he was more majestic than the county master.

The people around him got out of the way, and the old man was also a privileged person, and he was not allowed to compete for a place with him when he was eating, and there was a farmer next to him to support him.

Huang Chunsheng gave this old man a little more rare, he didn't walk when he looked like him, and he didn't digest it if he ate too much, this old man's son died in battle, and Xiaochuan publicized among the displaced people that dying in battle was a glorious thing, and this old man's son was a hero who protected everyone.

The militiamen, however, were the last to eat, with bowls and chopsticks in their hands, lined up in a row, not allowed to move, as neatly as a row of sculptures.

"Listen, even if you don't train in the future, if it's two people walking, you can walk side by side, three people or more, in a row, understand" Han Gang shouted loudly, this is also Xiao Chuan told them something about modern soldiers.

Got it! The soldiers let out a loud shout. Even the city guards on the city walls were taken aback.

*****

"Damn, it's just a bunch of refugees, shouting fart," Wang Shuang pouted disdainfully. Smelling the smell of rice, there was an unspeakable pain, and he said, "What about the Huotou Army, when are we going to eat?"

"General, you forgot, the county order has given an order, and now that food is in short supply, we only eat two meals a day," the adjutant general on the side swallowed and said.

"Damn, refugees are better off than Lao Tzu" Wang Shuang stomped his feet fiercely and said, "I'll let you eat in a while, damn." As he spoke, he glanced at the baggage wagons with greedy eyes, muttering, "How much grain and how much silver should be in such a big car?" ”

The soldiers on the side all looked at the baggage vehicles with greedy faces.

"Brothers, don't look at it, at night, all these things are ours, haha" Wang Shuang was excited when he thought of robbing in the middle of the night.

The eyes of the officers and soldiers next to them were all looking forward to the light, obviously they didn't do this kind of thing, of course, there were also people with a conscience, but these people were all solved by Wang Shuang, and the rest were all forced to be contaminated with good blood, and they would not leak secrets, so Wang Shuang was not worried that he would be known by the county order.

"Haha, soon these grains, money and food will be ours, and now A-Niang will not be hungry anymore"

"Hmph, this time it won't be like last time, you won't be able to grab any good things, right?"

At this time, there was a soldier who said weakly: "Didn't they say that they killed Wang Lao Er, this is not an ordinary thief." ”

"You also believe this kind of bluffing nonsense" Wang Shuang immediately kicked the soldier and ate, and said: "Wang Er, there are 500 people and 100 thieves, just these two hundred people?" It's not enough for others to stuff their teeth! ”

The soldiers laughed, laughing at the man's cowardice.

"After a while, after they fall asleep, they will go directly to kill people and rob goods," Wang Shuang said with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Refreshing, big brother, mother, the brothers are dying these days, you can be happy tonight"

"Yes" Wang Shuang thought of the order of the county order at this moment, and said: "Although I have to do something tonight and get benefits, you can't drop the chain for me tomorrow, that person will pass by us tomorrow."

"That, big brother, who the hell is that?" The adjutant general on the side said strangely.

"The daughter of the prefect's family!"
