Chapter 13: Surprise

Anyway, Ren Qi heard the report and arranged a few sentry spies to keep an eye on the front and back of the Shengfu, and everyone in the Shengjia family didn't know about it, but they just prepared step by step. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Before the time came, the villagers had already packed the grain, and Lin Yihu picked out more than a dozen strong and capable ones from among the family members, issued knives and guns, and asked them to rest with the coachman, preparing to set off together tomorrow morning. As he was instructing, the maid beside the young lady came to invite, so he hurriedly followed.

When I came to the front hall, I saw that Shenghui and Li Ke had already arrived. Sheng Ping saw that everyone was coming, so he asked Lin Yihu, "How is Uncle Lin preparing?" Lin Yihu replied: "It's all ready, I picked a few people from the family, let them have a good rest tonight, and enter the mountain with us tomorrow!" ā€

Sheng Ping shook his head after he finished speaking and said, "It's not tomorrow!" We'll leave tonight! ā€

After hearing him, the three of them looked at each other, and Lin Yihu asked, "Tonight?" But why? ā€

Sheng Ping replied calmly: "We are not afraid of ordinary bandits, the only people we are worried about are those large grass bandits, they are outnumbered, how can we be defeated by no more than thirty or forty people?" So the best thing to do is to take them by surprise and dodge them! Now that the rumors have leaked, I'm afraid we have already been targeted! Uncle Lin, if you hire a car, they will surely guess that we are going to transport grain tomorrow! So we only have one chance, and that's tonight! ā€

The three of them listened and were convinced! Lick asked again, "Then when are we leaving tonight?" Sheng Ping replied, "It's time! Lin Yihu was stunned for a moment and asked, "When is it?" The city gate will be closed at the next moment, if we set off from home at the same time, don't say the south gate, even if we go through the north gate, we won't have time to get out of the city! ā€

Before Sheng Ping could speak, the little maid next to her hurriedly said, "Miss has already thought of it!" My family is the military household of Qingzhou Wei, and my brother happens to be at the north gate, so the young lady asked me to bring 5 taels of silver to my brother in the morning, and asked him to give it to the general manager of the gatekeeper! Li Ke secretly said, no wonder I didn't see her in the morning!

Sheng Ping continued: "Not bad! I asked Xiangling to give him a total of five taels of silver, and told him to delay a little and close the city gate when we were out of the city!" After speaking, he looked at Xiangling approvingly, and Xiangling raised her head proudly and said, "My brother gave him the silver, and he has already agreed!" ā€

The three men looked at the two women, silent!

Sheng Ping continued: "We can't be careless yet! Uncle Lin also asked you to send someone out to buy some cooked beef, and told them that he was going to eat it on the way tomorrow! Little brother, you go and tell the cooks, let those coachmen and villagers not walk around, have a good rest, if someone wants to ask, they still say that they will leave tomorrow morning! And they were told, and went their separate ways.

Li Ke was a little embarrassed when he saw that he didn't have anything to do, and asked, "What about me?" Sheng Ping said calmly: "Someone is going to come in a while!" Please also ask my eldest brother to play a play with me! ā€

Li Ke was worried in his heart, and said secretly: It can't be another son, right? I was thinking about it, but I heard someone report that it was Lin Sigongzi who was here! Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "How could it be him?" ā€

Sheng Ping didn't say anything, but saw that Lin Si had already broken in, Li Ke looked at it and secretly cheered, only to see that he was still dressed in a white robe, but he was more handsome than last night, and he was chic and dignified. Originally, Li Ke changed into the robe sent by Xiangling, and he felt quite good, but compared with this Lin Siyi, he was really embarrassed!

That Lin Si obviously came often, and he was not polite, he went straight into the hall, sat on the upper seat, and then asked, "What are you all busy with?" Is it going to bring grain into the mountains tomorrow? ā€

Sheng Ping motioned for Xiangling to serve tea, and then replied, "Exactly!" Hearing her answer like this, Li Ke's heart moved, and he didn't speak!

"No wonder! I'm talking about so many people! What time will you leave tomorrow? Hearing the answer, Lin Si was extremely excited.

"As soon as the gates are opened, we will go!" Sheng Ping replied.

Lin Si said happily: "That's good! I'm with you! ā€

Sheng Ping nodded and said, "Okay! Just you have to come early! ā€

Lin Si was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Okay! Deal! You must wait for me! With that, he stood up and walked out.

Sheng Ping stopped him and said, "Wait! We've got you! "Lin Si" Huh! He said, "What's the matter today?" Aren't you afraid that Feng Gongzi will harass you? ā€

Sheng Ping's face sank and she didn't answer. Lin Siyi said angrily: "Could it be that guy is here again?" Sheng Ping nodded, Lin Si was furious, and said, "Don't let me bump into that guy!" Sheng Ping said coldly: "He just deliberately avoided you, what can you do?" Lin Si gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and hurriedly walked out, Sheng Ping motioned to Li Ke and hurriedly followed.

Li Ke chased out the door to see, that Lin Si had already got on the horse, only to see him pull the reins and say, "You must wait for me tomorrow morning!" Sheng Ping nodded and said, "You must come early!" Don't forget to bring extra guards! Lin Si laughed, pointed at Li Ke with a horsewhip and said, "Don't worry! With me and the Tiger Fighting Hero here, see who dares to beat your idea! Then he went on horseback!

Li Ke looked at Lin Si, who was in a hurry and going again, and didn't know what to say. It wasn't until the sound of the horse's hooves was far away that Sheng Ping whispered, "Let's go back!" Li Ke nodded, agreed, and turned back!

The two returned to the front hall, and when they saw that it was still early, they went their separate ways to prepare. Li Ke returned to the guest room and tidied up his backpack, saying that although he had only been here for two days, he was still from the Ming Dynasty, and it was really strange to carry this multi-functional travel bag again! He took off his quiver and Nepalese saber, picked up his hunting bow and left!!!

Li Ke returned to the front hall, only to see that Sheng Ping and Xiangling had already changed into short clothes, obviously ready, Li Ke wanted to persuade her not to go, but after thinking about it, this girl is so smart, once she makes up her mind, I am afraid it will not be easy to persuade her to return, so she will stop speaking!

When Shenghui returned to the hall and saw that the two of them were ready, he shouted to say goodbye to his mother, and Shengping called him down and said, "You don't want to go tonight!" Stay at home with your aunt, so as not to worry her! Of course Shenghui didn't follow, Shengping said: "I have been born for several generations, and I hope it's all on you, how dare you say that you are risky?" If you have three longs and two shorts, how does your father feel? Say no more! Shenghui still wanted to argue, but Li Ke stopped and persuaded: "What your sister said is reasonable!" Besides, even if you go, how can you help? It's better to stay at home with your mother to make him feel at ease, maybe there is nothing to do along the way, it's just that we mediocre people disturb ourselves, and you just suffer from the road in vain! If you want to go, why don't you go with your aunt in two days! Shenghui saw that the two of them were against it together, so he had to give up!

As the hour drew nearer, the sky darkened, and everyone finished their meal early, just waiting for their departure. Li Ke looked at those Zhuang Ke tied the torches, dipped in lamp oil, and suddenly thought of a plan, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to find all the lamp oil and rape oil in the house, and mixed some flour, the gunpowder was too late to find, fortunately, the family was in the cloth business, and there were still some saltpeters used as dyes, and Li Ke also hurriedly asked them to find them, mixed them together, packed them in a few jars, and put them on the last two cars.

Everything is ready, just wait for it to get dark and hit the road!
