There is a stone that has been hanging in Zhao Xiang's heart, and that is the two thousand Zhangzhou Xiang troops in Zhao Gongxi's hands.

What is Zhao Gongsu's attitude, Zhao Xiang is not clear, he can't be contacted, and the other party, a local official, disdains to have an intersection with his own fart.

According to the report of Shi Ding'an and other spies, the gates of Zicheng have been closed, and the garrison has not been seen on Fuqi Road. Around Zicheng, the only thing that is still a little angry is the nearby people who poured into Kaiyuan Temple to loot.

An old temple has been looted for hundreds of years of people's fat and ointment in Zhangzhou, and the family still has it. After the monks in the monastery were killed by the rebels, it became a paradise for the people, and these good men and women seemed to have made a grand vow: not to empty the entire monastery and vow not to give up.

Until the sunset was full, the people who continued to loot with torches took bamboo poles and stabbed over the colorful glazed treasure cup above the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and half a bucket of oil poured down...... There was a fire in the temple......

Zhao Xiang stood on the wall of the top of the mountain after dinner and looked at the dusk breeze with black smoke rising to the sky, and the firelight illuminated the sunset throughout the sky.

A pigeon flew in and landed beside Zhao Yan and paced. Zhao Yan took the note from the small bamboo tube on its feet, tore it to pieces after reading it, and flew clean with her hand, and then said to Zhao Xiang: "My master said that she would come to save you, but if you want to hold on for eight days, after the matter is completed, I will ask you to pay a hundred pieces of steel plate for machetes." ”

Zhao Xiang still looked at the direction of Kaiyuan Temple: "A hundred steel plates are cheap, but I'm afraid this time it's going to pull me into the water, right?" ”

"Pull down the water?"

"Your master should be very simple, as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked me for a thousand bows, and he must have no less than 5,000 men. 5,000 soldiers and horses came to Zhangzhou to save me, do you think I can live in peace afterwards? Since then, my body has been branded with the golden seal of the thief party. ”

Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Xiang's back: "Do you think we want to rebel?" ”

Zhao Xiang turned around and said jokingly, "Isn't it? Don't tell me which general's old lady you are in Granny Zhao, and you asked me for weapons just to strengthen the Northern Expedition. Or she is the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and for the sake of the stability of the Zhao family, she exchanged you for the weapons in my hand. ”

Zhao Yan rolled her eyes when she heard this: "You are not allowed to arrange my master like this, Master, her old man also has a hard time, since she said that she came to save you, she will naturally come to save you, and she will never let you become a thief." ”

A gust of wind blew, black ash flew all over the sky, Zhao Xiang stood up and smiled at Zhaoyan: "So one thing is certain, my situation is more dangerous than I imagined, and it is so dangerous that she has to move the rescue soldiers to save it."

"But it seems that you have forgotten, if I want to save my life, it is not difficult at all, and I am not just for this family property, I can buy one in another place, but I am gone, what should I do with those people below? These four or five thousand acres of paddy fields are not the turn of the villagers of Wutian Village to divide them, right?

Then they can only continue to work as tenant farmers, pay 60% of the rent, and live in a thatched hut in the dark. I'm not a savior, I'm just here to live a more reckless life, and if anyone makes me unhappy, I'll make him ten times more unhappy, I don't care who that person is, your master or the local gentry who colluded with him, it's the same in my eyes. ”

Zhaoyan also stood up, facing Zhao Xiang squarely, the two stood close, and the difference in height made her have to raise her head and speak: "I, Zhaoyan, swear here, if my master and apprentice have half of the heart to harm you, teach me not to die well!" ”

"Come on, I don't believe in oaths." Zhao Xiang said and went down the wall.

Zhaoyan stood on it, the breeze blowing, and she couldn't stop crying.

originally thought that the most simple countryside of the Southern Song Dynasty should be the most worry-free place for him, but Zhao Xiang saw the most greedy side of human nature, which forced him to regain the rationality in modern society.

So far, the only people who have been in contact with the most are these people at the bottom, and they have also turned themselves into a low-level person who is closed to information, a frog at the bottom of a well.

Originally, I wanted to live an infinitely close to secluded life on this one-third of an acre, comfortable and relaxed, but I didn't expect that it was just an innocent and ignorant earthling in the dark forest, danger was everywhere, and he didn't have the ability to resist at all, which made Zhao Xiang very unhappy.

Since Granny Zhao is in the rivers and lakes, she must know much more news than herself, last time she knew that she had become a thorn in the side of the big families in Zhangzhou, and she quickly got confirmation from Li Yuanguang's mouth, and this time she also specially flew pigeons to pass the letter and ordered that it would take eight days to have rescuers, which showed that the situation should not be underestimated.

The spies came back in the evening, and the news they brought back made Zhao Xiang cry and laugh.

Twenty-three spies, almost all of them were speculations about the income of each household in the Kaiyuan Temple incident-it was just speculation: the only thing that could be confirmed was that Li Siye, who lived closest to him, carried a pig's hind leg, because at least a hundred people saw it at that time.

Although these spies are clever, after all, they are just a ragtag army put together on a temporary basis, and they have lived at the bottom of society for a long time, and it is a joke to inquire about official news.

The only news that Zhao Xiang found useful came from Shi Ding'an: Qian Wan, a large landowner in the east of the city, feasted guests at night, and killed 20 sheep and 30 pigs. Originally, these people didn't eat pork, but the guests were all local squires, because today's riots brought a large group of family members to the banquet. The pigs were for these followers.

I remembered that in the evening, Xu Sande came to report that he couldn't buy pigs today, not because of the riots, but because all the pigs were bought today.

Zhao Xiang asked: "What is the reason for the rich man's banquet, his birthday, his son's full moon or his new wife?" ”

Shi Ding'an replied: "No, the small ones also feel a little strange, on weekdays, if these big families have a happy feast, they will always give a little bit to ask for some food, but the small ones begging for food in the past were blasted away by the gatekeepers." ”

"Do you know who you invited?"

"I heard a few, Chen Xiucai from Liushui Village, Chen Zhusi from the county government, and Li Zhutou from the government also went, and a person surnamed Ding on the south bank, anyway, they are all big local families."

It will make these big landlords who are most afraid of death go out on weekdays, and they will go out and gather together at the most dangerous time, except for discussing the division of the Yuan Temple family property together, Zhao Xiang can't think of a second explanation. Thinking about it again, the county government received the report and sent two groups of arresters to take him for murder...... It seems that it is now the collusion of the official gentry, and it is very likely that even himself, an outsider, has been eliminated - Chen Chun, Chen Zhusi and Li Zhutou attended, Zhao Xiang felt that it was difficult not to be involved in his own head.

Back in the room, Zhao Xiang locked the door and went straight back to modern times.

It was six o'clock in the morning, and the sky was still dark, so I called Lei Gang, and after two rings, the phone was answered: "Boss, what's the matter?" ”

Zhao Xiang was not verbose, and went straight to the point: "Can you help me get a gun?" ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for five seconds, which was so long that Zhao Xiang almost hung up the phone before the other end said, "Meet and talk at the warehouse." ”
