Hearing the question of the most favored eighth aunt, Mrs. Jiang glanced at Liu Guangzhi and the others in the distance, and said: "Jialing, the world is not peaceful now, it is best to be safe, don't just enjoy it." Although the store is in good condition just now, it is also located in the middle of the city, if it is usual, it is naturally the best choice, but you look at this Liugu County, there is a tense atmosphere everywhere, the little devil does not know when he will come, this carriage and horse shop is close to the West Gate, if there is something, it is much more convenient to go out of the city. ”

is also because of the love for the eighth aunt who has been in Xinna for less than a year, and Mrs. Jiang has explained so much in an extremely rare way.

In fact, the reason why he chose this carriage and horse shop was related to Liu Guangzhi and his party.

Last night, when he encountered the bandits robbing of the old man's village, he found that the old man of the Liu family did not seem to have much panic, and when a person who claimed to be a bloody gun appeared, saying that he had a life-saving grace for him, rescued all the people caught by the bandits, and asked for most of the treasures for himself, his heart was full of doubts.

To say that he has saved many people in his life is not false. However, he was confused about this bloody fast gun Liu Yi. After he escaped, the bloody hand gun did not show up, and he didn't even see himself, the life-saving benefactor, which made his doubts even stronger.

In the end, he was basically sure in his heart that the bloody hand fast gun had nothing to do with him at all, and his actions last night were not to repay his favor.

Fortunately, because of the intervention of the bloody gun, his family saved most of the family property and most of the family.

In the final analysis, it was Liu Yi who saved his family.

Finding that the Liu family and his party had quietly left alone while he and the other people were venting their anger at the dead bandits in the temple, his doubts deepened.

So, he immediately asked his family to pack up their things, and at the same time asked Tan Liu to collect the guns left by those bandits, and then quickly left the temple.

As for those refugees from ordinary families, when they saw that those big families had left and hurried overnight, where would they stay in the temple anymore, they all lit torches and rushed towards Liugu County.

Jiang Kaihe, as the eldest young master of the Jiang family, has naturally seen a lot of the world, so at this time, he went to find the store to arrange accommodation and the like.

In less than an hour, the Jiang family's team of more than 40 people all lived in a courtyard in Chemadian, which was next to the place where the Liu family lived.

Liu Tianshu slept beautifully in the room for four hours, and at noon, he came out rubbing his eyes, went to the well in the courtyard to get some water, washed his face happily, and just wanted to walk back to the house, he saw Shi Qiang, Liu Hai and others also coming out of the house.

As for the two young masters of the Jiang family, they were still sleeping soundly at this time.

As soon as Liu Guangzhi and Shi Qiang said a few words, they saw Liu Jiangong coming over.

"Brother Tianshu, the old man asked me to invite you to sit down." Seeing Liu Tianshu, although Liu Jiangong did not have a smile on his face, his eyes showed kindness.

"Okay, I'll go over here." Liu Tianshu handed the towel to Shi Qiang and walked to Liu Guangzhi's room with Liu Jiangong.

"Xiaoyanagi is here, sit down." When Liu Guangzhi saw Liu Tianshu enter the room, he gestured to the chair on the side, and handed over a delicate invitation.

Liu Tianshu took a look, but it was sent by Mrs. Jiang, saying that she wanted to invite Mr. Liu to have a meal at night, of course, the reason was that they met on the road, that is, they were fated.

After Liu Tianshu read it, he handed it to Liu Guangzhi and said with a smile: "It seems that the old man's popularity is really good, even the old lady Jiang invited you to drink." ”

"Hehe," Liu Guangzhi saw that there were no outsiders in the house except for his son Liu Jiangong, so he twisted his beard, "Xiaoliu, isn't Old Lady Jiang your savior?" What, you're not going to visit? ”

Seeing the smile on Liu Guangzhi's face, Liu Tianshu immediately knew that he had guessed that the bloody fast gun was pretending to be himself. said with a smile at the moment: "Old man, there is no need to visit, God knows this matter, you know and I know, out of this house, I don't know who the bloody hand fast gun is." Old man, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong. That's the end of it. ”

"Hehe, aren't you going to accompany the old man tonight?" Liu Guangzhi looked at Liu Tianshu with interest.

"I'm not going, old man, I'm going to the west, it's all mountain roads, I want to prepare, and leave here early tomorrow morning." Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said.

"Well, that's fine, the Jiang family has a big business in Baoding, and they also have some business dealings with me, but they don't have any contact with it. Since Mrs. Jiang has kindly invited, I have to go anyway. By the way, I think our two families are simply together, and you are responsible for arranging everything on the road, and you will fully cooperate with you. Liu Guangzhi finally proposed.

There were more than a dozen people in the Liu family, there were eight men, and four men also carried weapons, but last night in the temple, they knew that it was useless to resist, so they gave up, but in the end, all of them were recovered.

"Okay, since the old man trusts me, I'm not welcome." Liu Tianshu said with a smile.

After the experience on the road, Liu Tianshu felt that it was still necessary to integrate resources, especially the armed forces of the two families, if they were well deployed, they would have strong combat effectiveness.

In the afternoon, Liu Jiangong brought all the men from the Liu family who could use guns to Liu Tianshu.

Liu Tianshu checked their weapons one by one, and then asked Shi Qiang to call Liu Hai, and then divided the ten people into two groups, Shi Qiang was in charge of one group, and Liu Jiangong's younger brother Liu Jianguang was in charge of one group. Finally, it is clear that the two groups take turns to be responsible for safety and security work.

In the evening, Liu Tianshu asked Liu Jianguang to be responsible for the security work before the early hours of tonight, and he took Shi Qiang's bangs, went out of the carriage and horse shop, and walked on the street.

Walking to the middle of the city, they saw that a tavern had not yet closed, and the three of them went upstairs to find that there were still several groups of customers upstairs.

Liu Hai called the shopkeeper and asked him to bring some wine and food, and the three of them talked while drinking.

However, after drinking for a while, Liu Tianshu was attracted by the conversation of the guest next to him.

"Dude, I heard that Zhengtai Road is now full of devils, and even Buchuan County in the south is occupied by little devils?" A dark middle-aged man asked in a low voice.

Sitting next to him were two short and fat middle-aged men, but judging from the way they dressed, their family should be good.

Hearing his question, a short and fat middle-aged man took a sip of wine, and said with a wry smile on his face: "I heard about this, my brother-in-law's family escaped from that side and now lives in my house." According to my brother-in-law, after the withdrawal of the regular army, there was only a security regiment of less than 500 people left in Bucheon County, and as soon as it came into contact with the little devils, it turned into scattered sand, and in less than an hour, the little devils occupied Bucheon City. If their whole family didn't run fast, they would probably be killed by the little devils. ”

"Didn't you hear that little devils don't harm people easily?" Another stocky middle-aged man answered.

"If the little devil doesn't harm people, is he still called a devil?" Hearing his question, the short and fat middle-aged man glanced at him with disdain, "Listen to my brother-in-law, there are three villages in the south of Buchuan County that were directly slaughtered by the little devils, do you think the little devils will harm people?" ”

"Alas, then you say, will the little devil come to our Liugu County?" The dark middle-aged man asked worriedly.

"Who knows? You see, this morning, the county government posted a notice, and the county magistrate Liu said that the whole city should prepare for war, and the county security regiment is also preparing to defend the city, and it is said that young people will be recruited to participate in the defense of the city. The stocky middle-aged man said with a sigh.

When Liu Tianshu heard what they said, he was shocked in his heart.

After entering the city today, he already knew from the shopkeeper of the carriage and horse shop that the total number of the Liugu County Security Corps was only more than 600 people, and the number of police officers from the county police station was less than 700.

Let's not talk about the quality of these people, just because they are only equipped with some long and short guns and light machine guns, if they encounter a little devil attacking the city, where can they defend it?

The top priority now is to prepare for emergency evacuation. Once the little devils attack the city, immediately transfer the people and supplies to the mountains.

There is no chance of victory in holding on to the castle, because it is impossible to wait for reinforcements.

The regular troops of the Nationalist Government are now either retreating to Shanxi or to the south.

I'm afraid that the county magistrate Liu of Liugu County is a pedantic and nationalistic person.

Back at the carriage and horse shop, it happened that Liu Guangzhi also came back from the Jiang family's banquet.

Hearing Liu Tianshu's worry, Liu Guangzhi closed his eyes for a moment, then opened his eyes and said: "Xiaoliu, I have already received the news that County Magistrate Liu Yuancai has decided to stay in Liugu and live and die with Liugu County, and we can't leave." ”

"What? We can't go either? Liu Tianshu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it.

"Well, I heard from Mrs. Jiang that County Magistrate Liu has ordered the city gate to be closed, and no one is allowed to leave the city without his instructions, and at the same time requires the people in the city to have money, things to contribute, and people to go out to prevent the Japanese from attacking the city. Even those of us who passed by Liugu County also asked to cooperate with the security team to defend the city. Liu Guangzhi said with a sigh.

"How can this surnamed Liu be like this?" Liu Tianshu couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Liu Yuancai, the county magistrate, closed the city gate and wanted to concentrate the strength of the whole city and have a battle with the little devil who would rather be broken than destroyed, what else could this bring to him except a little meaningless reputation?

He promised Uncle Zhao and Blacksmith Liu to send Zhao Xiaomei and others to Wuyang County safely, but now he is trapped here by this county magistrate Liu, who is not rational at all except for his enthusiasm, and he is anxious for a while.

Sure enough, the next morning, several policemen came to the carriage and horse shop, saying that they were ordered to register pedestrians, and after the registration was completed, the first police officer surnamed Cai asked all the people who lived in the car and horse shop not to go out at will before the alarm was lifted, and to obey the government's orders at any time.

With the promulgation of a series of wartime orders from the prefectural government, the entire Ruya Prefecture was shrouded in tension.
