Zhao: Could it be that something happened? When Zhao Yuan was thinking to himself, Huang Qi, who was in charge of patrolling, entered the account and announced: "Captain Zhao, there are people from the camp of the Licheng march, and it seems that they are sending grain and grass!" ”

"Sending grain and grass? Hasn't the Licheng County Guard already sent it? Zhao Yuan was a little suspicious, and immediately got up to check, outside the camp gate, a light cavalry colonel approached: "Dare to ask where Lin Zhongyi, the general of Bei'an, is?" ”

"The general has something to go out and is no longer in the camp, what are you waiting for? Please let us know in advance! ”

The colonel dismounted and came to Zhao Yuan: "I am the colonel of the Licheng marching battalion and the light cavalry battalion patrolling the colonel, and this time I was ordered by my command to supply grain and grass equipment to the Bei'an Xiao cavalry soldiers to show the friendship of the landlord!" ”

After the words fell, the junior colonel gave the order, and dozens of sentry riders behind him drove the carriage up, looking at the loaded grain, grass, ordnance and mule carts, Zhao Yuan was stunned, and Huang Qi on the side whispered: "Captain Zhao, so much?" Or take it first? ”

"Nonsense! Chen Ke, the county guard of Licheng, gave ten carts of grain and grass, and he had already excused Ah Xiu to withdraw as his bandits, and this military officer sent more, didn't he let Ah Xiu give him to quell the rebellion? No way... Can't take it..."

Zhao Yuan reprimanded Huang Qi, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The kindness of the commander, the acting general of this school understands, but my general has not returned, so much ordnance, grain and grass, this school does not dare to make its own claims?" Hopefully..."

Who knew that the little colonel didn't wait for Zhao Yuan to finish speaking, and handed over a letter: "Lord Captain doesn't need to shirk, this is not only the meaning of the commander, but also the meaning of the former academy of Bei'an General and the young master Zhang Qi, who wants to know the righteousness of the same thing... The lieutenant can take it for the time being! ”

"Acquaintance?" Zhao Yuan didn't know who Zhang Qi was, so he couldn't respond for a while, but the little colonel simply handed over the letter, and left with his subordinates, looking at the more than a dozen carts of grain, grass and ordnance in front of him, Huang Qi shrugged helplessly: "Yes!" I still have to take it! ”

"If you don't take it, you're stupid! Now it is no better than before, so much grain and grass is brought back to Linshui, which is enough for us brothers to eat and drink for half a year! When the words fell, Lin Sheng came out, he snatched the letter in Zhao Yuan's hand, swept his eyes and signed the page, and said: "Ah Xiu's acquaintance is quite atmospheric!" ”

"Do you know who that person is?" Zhao Yuan muttered.

"The son of the military commander of Licheng, Zhang Qi and Zhang Yuzhi, is also a brave young talent, what kind of land is Licheng!" Lin Sheng said, he had ordered someone to pull the grain and grass into the camp, and under the camp gate, Huang Qi looked at Lin Sheng's back and said to Zhao Yuan: "This Lin Sheng is becoming more and more presumptuous, he is below you according to the ranks, but he has never listened to your orders!" ”

"Not only does he not listen to my orders, but sometimes he doesn't even listen to Ah Xiu's orders, but..."Zhao Yuan paused: "He is Ah Xiu's cousin, and his fate has been frustrated since he was a child, and you and I can't control it, so Ah Xiu and he have to solve it himself!" The words fell, and the two entered the camp.

After Lin Xiu solved the problem of the people and bandits in Liangzigou, he returned to the county capital of Donghu County with You Hui, and Ge Bai was impatient to wait in this dilapidated county office, and as soon as they met, Ge Bai hurriedly rushed up: "How is the matter?" What about the Diaomin? Why didn't you get it back? ”

Lin Xiu said in a deep voice: "Are you still in charge of the prison when you are caught?" ”

"This official doesn't care, but General Lin, how about you catch one or two, especially the thief or something, at least let the official make a case testimony record, otherwise how can the official give an account to the county guard?"

"There are no living people, there are a lot of dead people's heads, you take a closer look, and if you think it is appropriate, you can take them all!"

Lin Xiu responded, and You Hui trembled and walked up with a bloody burden, Ge Bai raised his eyebrows and scolded: "You Hui, what are you in this bag?" ”

"My lord, this is all Diao Min's head, they resisted General Lin, and were beheaded by the general's horsemen, and Hu Dahai relied on the village house to resist, and was burned to death in the house by the general... As for the burnt head ... It was also cut off, and it was in this cloth bag, if you want to see it, the lower official will open it and look for it! ”

Hearing this, Ge Bai jumped off the wall like an old cat, jumped back directly, he shuddered, and said in his throat: "You said that this cloth bag is full of human heads? ”

"Not really!"

The wind of words changed slightly, Liu Pan, Lin Huaiping, and Li Hu also came in, and Li Hu said with a smile: "When we fought the barbarians in the north, we were used to cutting off the heads of the barbarians for military merit, after all, the heads of the dead are easy to take away, and the living are too troublesome!" ”

"That's right, a soldier can cut off at least six or seven heads in a battle! There are too few people and thieves in Liangzigou, and there are only thirty or forty of them when they are full, except for those who are buried and burned, there are only a few left! ”

Liu Pan smiled, pulled the blood cloth burden from in front of You Hui, and threw it to Ge Bai: "My lord, you count the points and see what kind of merit you can get?" Although it is what my general promised, you have to give us brothers a consolation! ”

In the laughter of Liu Pan and the others, looking at the flying blood cloth baggage, Ge Bai had already run away with a ghostly howl: "Get up and take those ghost things away!" ”

Seeing this, Lin Xiu calmed down everyone and said to Ge Bai: "My lord, the matter of suppressing bandits is over, as for this merit baggage, if you don't want to bring it, let You Hui go to Licheng with you to give an order, this letter is specially for You Hui to write Lord Chen!" ”

Hearing this, Ge Bai's eyebrows turned sharply, and he wanted to say something, but looking at You Hui's face pale and trembling, and then looking at the bulging head baggage, he didn't have the courage to take that bag of heads, so he could only rush to Licheng with You Hui to meet Chen Ke.

In the evening, Lin Xiu returned to the camp, and when Zhao Yuan said what happened during the day, Lin Xiu hurriedly took the letter and read it carefully, but it was just a polite word, but the dozen or so truckloads of ordnance, grain and grass were of far-reaching significance, coupled with the secret things that Zhang Qi did in Zhongdu, Lin Xiu was uneasy for a while.

In his thoughts, Lin Huaiping, who had carefully inspected the grain and grass equipment, came back and said: "Brother Xiu, you are really generous enough, fifteen carts of grain and grass, three carts of ordnance, including 100 sets of Mingguang armor and 200 sets of chain mail, which is much more generous than the county guard of Licheng..."

In this regard, Lin Xiu was not happy but worried: "This gift is not so easy to accept!" ”

"Why?"

"It's a different time!" Lin Xiu got up and put away the letter: "Right now, there is famine and chaos in various parts of Northern Xinjiang, Beiping County, Donghu County... This is all a place where the sprouts of chaos arise, more than a dozen carts of grain and grass, thousands of stones to eat, full of big hands, they say to give, it is simply atmospheric and suspicious, moreover... I don't know what I'm doing..."

"Ah Xiu, what do you want to do so much? We are already in northern Xinjiang, and we will return to Linshui soon, and when we get to our own land, can they still control us? Or does he not take our thousand brothers seriously? Lin Sheng joked in the account.

"You're a little presumptuous!"

Lin Xiu screamed, Rao is Lin Sheng smiled: "You are a general, what you say is what you say!" ”
