After Hou Quan left, Cui Feng, Liu Xu and the others had no choice but to wait in the village.

There was no news for two days, and everyone in the stone sheds had some whispers.

Cui Feng's regiment trained soldiers, most of them were domestic servants of the Cui family, or strong men recruited by the Cui family, they all heard Cui Feng say that Liu Xu was the brother of Cui Ye, the future helmsman of the Cui family, and he had no opinion on Cui Feng protecting Liu Xu. However, in the training of the Zhaizhong Regiment, some people who did not belong to the Cui family faction brought such a big trouble to Cui Feng to take in Liu Xu, and now they are quite complaining, and some people even privately say that Liu Xu should be handed over.

Cui Feng severely reprimanded these people who made small moves in private. Fortunately, it was only a few people, and it didn't have much impact. The workers of the Dumping Ridge Quarry are still working hard.

However, what makes Cui Feng secretly anxious is that the food and vegetables in the village are now running out. There are as many as three or four thousand workers in the stone sheds and the quarry in the stone dumping village, and it is impossible to hoard so much grain and vegetables in the village, and they are generally transported from Qingzhou City once every half month. The workers of the unloading stone ridge are all strong men, they work hard, their mouths are strong, and they will eat nearly 100 carts of grain and vegetables at a time, and they will eat almost the same in half a month. In the past, it was transported once every half a month, and the strongmen of Qingfeng Mountain never dared to touch the Cui family's convoy, so there were not many escorts. But this time, the grass coward of Qingfeng Mountain went crazy, and I am afraid that the convoy transporting grain will suffer a big loss. Although the grass robbers of Qingfeng Mountain may not be able to capture or kill all the people in the convoy, they will definitely cause great losses to the Cui family. Although the people who ran away would definitely bring back the news that the stone sheds were blocked, Cui Feng would lose all his face. Besides, causing such a big loss, it will be Cui Feng's sin at that time. Cui Feng couldn't help but strongly hope that Commander Wu's team would arrive soon.

In Cui Feng's eyes, those grass bandits in Qingfeng Mountain are nothing, if Hou Quan's letter is delivered, and the forbidden army commanded by Commander Wu of Qingfeng Town comes, this local chicken and tile dog in Qingfeng Mountain will only have the share of holding their heads and running around. Although the Great Song Dynasty now emphasizes literature and light military force, the current Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army still has the foundation accumulated by the tempering and annihilation of several southern countries in the early days of the founding of the country, and its combat effectiveness is still very strong. Even these regiments under Cui Feng are training, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than those grass cowards. It's just that those grass robbers are outlaws, and their own regimental training is formed to protect the stone sheds, and they have no responsibility to suppress bandits, nor do they have the courage to fight with those outlaws. However, if it is really urgent, with the regimental training of the unloading stone sheds, and the two or three hundred grass robbers of Qingfeng Mountain, I believe that in the end, it will definitely be a big chance of victory for the regimental training. It's just that before the moment of life and death, these strong men participating in regimental training are just to earn a salary and support their families, and they will not fight hard with those outlaws. Cui Feng had to expect Hou Quan to deliver the letter as soon as possible.

On the third day, Hou Quan finally appeared, but he did not appear by himself, but was escorted by the three tigers of Qingfeng Mountain on Qingfeng Mountain.

It turned out that yesterday, Hou Quan, who had crossed the mountains for a day and a night, had just walked on the path near Erlong Mountain from the old forest, and encountered a group of grass robbers. Hou Quan originally wanted to avoid the mountain behind Qingfeng Mountain and take a detour near Erlong Mountain in the west, but he didn't think that he still ran into Caokou, although Hou Quan resisted, but he was outnumbered and was still caught. It turned out that it was the grass kou of Erlong Mountain who was wandering around here, and their boss brown bear received a message from Qingfeng Mountain, so he sent people to wait here. I thought that the people who unloaded the stone shed would definitely not come out of the stone mountain from here, but I didn't expect them to catch one. At that moment, the brown bear ordered people to be sent to Qingfeng Mountain. Of course, the brown bear did not work in vain, and he also asked for a lot of benefits from the three tigers of Qingfeng Mountain.

The three tigers of Qingfeng Mountain were also helpless at this time, they did not hand over the stone shed, and they were not sure to attack it, so if the confrontation continued, in case the officers and soldiers came, it was themselves who suffered. Seeing that Erlongshan sent Hou Quan over, when he was happy, he escorted Hou Quan to exert pressure in front of the stone shed.

Cui Feng heard his subordinates inform him of the situation, and hurried to the wall, and Liu Xu also followed him to the wall.

The three tigers took some small minions and escorted Hou Quan to stand a hundred steps away. Liu Xu saw that Hou Quan's expression was awkward, and he obviously suffered a lot.

The three tigers said loudly to the people on the wall: "Listen, the people in the village have now been blocked by our three mountains. Our Qingfeng Mountain is not far from your stone unloading shed, and we have been safe and sound for many years. We Qingfeng Mountain have no intention of embarrassing you, as long as you hand over Liu Xu, the murderer of our Black Bull brothers, we will immediately release your brothers from the village. If not, we want to give up, and our brothers in Qingfeng Mountain will not either. Our Qingfeng Mountain righteousness comes first, and we can't avenge our brothers, wouldn't it make others laugh. ”

Cui Feng saw that Hou Quan had been arrested and his village was blocked, and he was secretly anxious, but he was still calm on his face, and said to the three tigers under the wall: "The people I saved from the stone shed have never been handed over again." Besides, you keep saying that the black bull was killed by Liu Xu's brothers, and you have lost your righteousness. Gu Laosi killed the black cow in front of you, you didn't go to avenge your brother, but came here to entangle, you poured our stone sheds to get along. If you know each other, you will quickly hand over our brother and Gu Laosi who came to our cottage late at night to commit murder. Otherwise, you also know the methods of our Cui family, and when the time comes, you will be asked to leave no grass in Qingfeng Mountain. ”

The triangular-eyed whirlwind tiger was furious and said, "Don't you dare to kill your people who unload the stone sheds?" After speaking, he took out the long knife on his waist and was about to cut Hou Quan. Originally, the three tigers came to deter the stone unloading shed, but now they were frightened by the stone unloading shack, and he was able to endure this breath. However, the triangular-eyed whirlwind tiger was stopped by the brocade tiger Xu Wusi in a low voice, and until the last moment, there was no need to break the net with the fish in the stone shed.

Jin Maohu said loudly: "Boss Cui, you don't have to scare us. Since we Qingfeng Mountain dare to do it, we are not afraid. Are your Cui family's methods remarkable? With the ability of your Cui family, how many people can be mobilized to attack our Qingfeng Mountain? Even if it is captured, there are many mountains here in the west of Qingzhou, and we will not be able to go to other mountains. But if the net is really broken, don't think about living a stable life in the future. Give you another day to think about it, and tomorrow at noon, if you don't hand it over, don't blame us for being polite. ”

Cui Feng laughed and said, "Your grandfather Cui, I'm scared?" If you have the courage, let the horses come, come and attack our stone shed, open the stockade, you don't want to kill whoever you want, don't make noise here if you don't have the guts. "Cui Feng mixed in the forbidden army, he is still very confident in the village he set up, the most important thing to unload the stone shed is the stone, the wall of the stone shed is all made of bluestone, if someone attacks the village, some are ready-made stones to make stone guards. Besides, there are so many workers in the stockade, even if they don't need to help guard the village, just let them carry the stones. As far as the two or three hundred people in Qingfeng Mountain are just a group of rabble, they have neither the weapons to attack the village, nor the experience of attacking the village.

Jin Maohu saw that Cui Feng was soft and hard, and dropped a sentence: Let's see, take everyone away.

After the three tigers took people away, Cui Feng's face suddenly became solemn, and Liu Xu stepped forward to ask.

Cui Feng informed Liu Xu that the food and vegetables in the village were delivered by the Cui family's team for half a month and his own concerns. Cui Feng said in a deep voice: "I'm not afraid that they will attack the village, I'm afraid that they will rob and kill the convoy, then the loss to the Cui family will be too great." I'm afraid that the convoy transporting food and vegetables will come in the next two days, and I'm really worried. ”

Liu Xu couldn't help but groan, he really didn't expect the three tigers of Qingfeng Mountain to be so crazy, obviously Gu Laosi killed the black bull, they had to come to arrest themselves. Liu Xu didn't know that money could make the ghost grind, and the death of the black cow was settled by Gu Laosi with 200 yuan. In addition, the three tigers said to their brothers that it was Liu Xu who killed the black bull, the black bull was bold, and the brothers on the mountain were all good friends with him, so they must kill Liu Xu to avenge the black bull and hurry up. However, as for how to solve the situation in front of him, the village was blocked, and in the predicament, Liu Xu did not have the righteousness to stand up and say, hand me over, so that they would withdraw the blockade. Liu Xu still takes his own life very seriously, and he can't be sent to death easily.

The main reason for the dilemma faced by the unloading shed is that the news cannot be transmitted. If it is left to the future life, this is not a problem at all, and it will be solved with a phone call, but there is none. Liu Xu couldn't help but think, what could he use the means of communication he knew? When Liu Xu was thinking, he suddenly saw a few pigeons flying in front of him and landing on a roof, Liu Xu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, carrier pigeons, yes, you can use flying pigeons to pass on books!

Immediately, Liu Xu excitedly pointed to the pigeons and said, "Cui Tuan Lian, are these pigeons raised by people in the village?" ”

Before Cui Feng could answer, his henchman Wang San hurriedly said: "This pigeon can't be eaten, this is my father's lifeblood." ”

Liu Xu couldn't help but be flashed, why do you have to eat pigeons, why has it become your father's lifeline?

Liu Xu hurriedly explained his thoughts with a smile, and asked about the pigeon by the way.

When Liu Xu heard what Wang San said, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It turned out that Wang San's father was a small steward in Cuifu, and he always liked to tame birds, and this pigeon was also one of his favorite birds. These pigeons, when Wang San's father was domesticated, often let Wang San feed them, and he was familiar with Wang San. Wang San's father's birds, after they were all tamed, were not in the cage, but the royal father had a skill in taming birds, and his birds never flew away or returned. After Wang San came to the unloading stone shed village to train as a village soldier, these pigeons actually found Wang San by themselves. Wang San is also fond of it, every time these pigeons come to the stone shed, they will feed it a lot of food, and these pigeons, every day after eating enough in the stone shed, will fly back to Wang San's father at night.

Liu Xu couldn't be overjoyed after listening to it, this is simply a ready-made carrier pigeon. Originally, Liu Xu was worried that this pigeon was raised by people in the village, and he could not bring the letter to Qingzhou City without training. Now I heard Wang San say that these pigeons go back to his father every night and tie the letter to their feet, isn't this a ready-made carrier pigeon? How can you not be happy.

At that moment, Liu Xu told Cui Feng and Wang San about his idea of letting this pigeon bring Xin'er, and the two were also very happy.

Cui Feng patted his thigh and said, "Erlang is still clever!" ”

Wang San also said: "I deal with these pigeons every day, why can't I remember this stubble, or Liu Gongzi is smart, and the reader is fast." ”

Liu Xu said with a smile: "I also came from an ancient book, and occasionally saw that pigeons can be domesticated and used for letters." As for how to domesticate, I don't, the third brother of the king of the loss of this pigeon was originally a ready-made carrier pigeon. ”

In fact, Liu Xu said that he saw a record of carrier pigeons in ancient books, and it was really crooked. Five generations later, Wang Renyu, a Zhou literati, wrote a special chapter on "Passing the Book Pigeon" in the book of "Kaiyuan Tianbao Legacy", which was recorded in the book: "When Zhang Jiuling was a teenager, he raised a group of pigeons, and every time he exchanged letters with his relatives, he only used the book to tie the pigeon foot, and flew to cast it according to the place he taught. It's just that Liu Xu hasn't read it, and of course Cui Feng and Wang San don't know that there is this book.

At that moment, Cui Feng asked people to write down the situation of the stone sheds on a note, and wrote the information that Liu Xu was also in the stone sheds, and Wang San wrote a few words on the note, asking his father to send the note to Mrs. Cui as soon as possible. Wang San tied the note to the pigeon's feet and prepared to fly. Liu Xu was afraid that something would go wrong, so he asked people to write two more sheets and let Wang San tie them to the feet of the other two pigeons.

Wang San released a few pigeons.

Everyone couldn't help but be excited, this time, the blockade of Qingfeng Mountain and the other two mountains could be regarded as broken.
