Chapter 195: Unexpected
Changsun Chong nodded and said, "Well, continue to walk in the middle!" "I believe in Hua Wu, after all, Hua Wu can scan a very large range, much more than he can see with the naked eye.
Along the way, he encountered six three-way intersections, and Liu Muxiang used the method provided by Changsun Chong to advance, and finally at the seventh intersection, he saw a gate made of wood not far away. Normally, a tattered stockade.
Liu Muxiang wanted to step forward quickly, but Changsun Chong stopped him and said, "Wait a minute!" ”
called Hua Wu in his head: "Brother Hua Wu, what is the situation in the cottage?" ”
Hua Wu scanned it and said, "Your actions have not been discovered yet, several masters are holding weddings, and they are about to visit the church in a moment, but it seems that something is wrong!" ”
The eldest grandson Chong asked, "What's wrong!" Hurry up and say, I can't afford to waste time now! "If his wife visits the church with other people, what's the matter! If it is spread out, Princess Changle and Yiniang still have a good reputation.
"Although they are bandits, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled! And some women and children! It's not like the kind of bandit who kills people without blinking. Hua Wu reminded that he hoped that Changsun Chong would not kill innocents indiscriminately.
The eldest grandson Chong was surprised and asked, "Are you sure?" "Being able to solve the problem by not killing people is exactly what Changsun Chong wants, Li Erdu said, tolerate the bandits who can surrender and accept Zhao'an, and settle them well.
"Sure!" Hua Wu replied, "And most of them have no force, so it's best for you to only catch the first offender when you go in, and don't embarrass these people." ”
"Got it!" The eldest grandson rushed down and walked straight forward.
Li Yexu went back and arranged for the prince and others, and then ran back to find his daughter-in-law, if he lost his daughter-in-law, no matter how great his achievements were in the future, he would not be able to eliminate this shame. What's more, he and Yiniang are now getting better, good honey and oil, and no one will be allowed to destroy it!
"Brother Eldest Sun, I'll go in first, right?" Li Ye rushed over happily, and his wives who had not passed through the door were arrested, can you not be in a hurry!
The eldest grandson shook his head and said, "If you want to attack it, just don't kill the old and weak women and children." ”
Before Changsun Chong finished speaking, Liu Muxiang had already crossed the door, the two gatekeepers were already drunk, and the two hand knives were on their necks. knocked them unconscious.
Liu Muxiang opened the door and said, "Come in quickly!" ”
"Someone, someone!" The gate of the fortress was opened, and a group of officers and soldiers entered, who were bandits. What I am afraid of are the officers and soldiers, and these officers and soldiers are like heavenly soldiers and generals. Appears in cottages.
Suddenly those with spoons. Shovels, sticks, old and weak women and children stood in front of Changsun Chong and others.
"We're here to save people, and you're still out of the way?" Liu Muxiang said angrily.
An old woman sighed and said, "Girl, don't worry, we will be good to those girls." Our owner is a good person! ”
"Are your creditors good people?" Liu Muxiang sneered, "At your age, there must be children too, but those who were robbed of their daughters. The pain is unbearable, this is all caused by your village owner, can you still say that your village owner is a good person? ”
"Hey, it's not that you can't marry a daughter-in-law!" The old woman was a little embarrassed by Liu Muxiang's words.
"If you can't marry a daughter-in-law, you can't rob it! Hurry up and tell your bosses to come out, or don't blame us for the killing. Liu Muxiang threatened, hoping that these people would be able to retreat.
The little minion shouted as he ran: "Oh no, no, the officers and soldiers are here!" ”
The people who were drinking in the hall were stunned, how did the officers and soldiers come, that stone gate, after so many years, no one could come in.
"What to do in a panic, speak slowly!" An old man in his fifties scolded angrily and said that after so many years of training, he is still so careless.
"Elder, we robbed a few women yesterday, and now they have reported to the official, and hundreds of officers and soldiers have come to surround us." The little minion said excitedly, his face was pale with fright, and he knew that he wouldn't rob it.
A man in his twenties stood up, held a big knife, and said, "Father-in-law, you are here, I'll go out and have a look first!" ”
"No, I'd better go out and have a look first. There was no fighting outside, proving that they didn't want to clash with us head-on. Besides, we only rob the rich and never kill people, and they shouldn't embarrass us. The Great Elder listened carefully to the fact that there was no movement outside, and quickly made a decision.
The Great Elder took the lead in walking in front and saw the majestic hundreds of soldiers, who had already divided into several directions to surround the entire stockade. Although there were 200 people in the village, most of them were old and weak women and children, and there were only 34 adult men, who could not defeat the officers and soldiers at all, and maybe they would be killed by all the officers and soldiers.
When the elder was far away, he clasped his hands into fists and said, "You distinguished guests have not come far to greet you, it is rude!" ”
Li Yexu rushed out, dressed in a military uniform, and said majestically: "Hurry up and hand over the women you arrested yesterday and today, if the old son and daughter-in-law are missing half a hair, I will let you know that there is no regret medicine in the world!" ”
When the Great Elder heard this, his heart was bitter, it seemed that the two girls he had arrested today must be what these people were looking for. It is impossible for the officers and soldiers to come so quickly with the girls they robbed in Daliu Village yesterday, and it seems that the two girls they caught today have a great future.
If you don't grovel this time, then you will only be in danger of being slaughtered.
"I'm sorry, I don't know it's your relatives general!" The Great Elder whispered, thinking about how to deal with this matter.
"Then you don't release people yet!" Li Yexu snorted coldly, his face gloomy.
"Don't insult our father-in-law, I'll fight with you!" A man in his twenties behind him hurriedly stood in front.
The Great Elder hurriedly grabbed the man's arm and said, "Wait, if you don't want us all to die, be honest." ”
The eldest grandson Chong looked at these people, not the kind of bandits who killed people like hemp and did all kinds of evil, but like a paradise.
"I'm sorry, we'll let people go, but for the sake of the old and weak, women and children, bypass our lives. Although I have been here for more than ten years, I dare to swear to God that I have never killed anyone, but I only robbed it when I saw that my son was old and did not get married. I thought that when I gave birth to a baby, I would thank my relatives with a generous gift, but I didn't think about killing someone! The Great Elder's expression was eager, hoping to convince these officers and soldiers.
When the eldest grandson heard this, this old man was shrewd, and the raw rice was cooked and cooked, so people had to agree if they didn't agree. Anyway, it's a bandit, as long as you are willing to be good, let them go, the past is not to blame, now Li Er is worried about the few people all day long, and there are a few people who can recruit An.
"Well, as long as you let people go, we won't embarrass you. Besides, now that the outside is stable and the court encourages farming and weaving, you can go out, buy land or open up wasteland, and live a stable life, which is better than robbing and doing illegal things! The eldest grandson Chong persuaded.
"How easy is it! We also want to live a stable life, we are all displaced here, abandoned babies, there is no righteous and bright identity at all, we can't buy land at all, we can only rely on robbery to make a living. "The more the Great Elder talked, the more sad he became, he was a bandit, that was a bandit with a conscience!
"Official, we are all homeless people taken in by the Great Elder, the year before last, there was a great drought, and there were locusts, my son and daughter-in-law and grandson went out to escape the famine, there was no food, my son and daughter-in-law gave us the only food, but they starved to death. If it hadn't been for the Great Elder, our ancestors and grandchildren would have starved to death. An old woman choked up, crying and talking, wiping away tears.
After the old woman finished speaking, the others also talked about what happened to them, and knelt down to kowtow to Changsun Chong and the others, hoping to be forgiven.
The young men in red clothes in the back were anxious and said: "The people were robbed by the five of our brothers, and they will be killed or scraped, and they will be respected, but I implore the adults not to hurt these people." ”
The eldest grandson waved his hand and said, "Young man, don't get excited. Now that His Majesty has assessed the Turks, the Tang Dynasty is victorious, and he will begin to amnesty the world, you are not to blame for the past and now, this General Li is specifically responsible for recruiting An. A man who is physically strong can enlist in the army, and he will have the opportunity to achieve military exploits and glorify his ancestors in the future; If you don't want to enlist, you can follow us to the north to farm. The former Sui turmoil, the people were not happy, the people were miserable, and now the Tang Emperor is merciful, if you are willing to submit to the place, you will not only divide the fields, but also divide the seeds, and live in peace. ”
"My lord, can we really enlist?" Several young people were eager to try, and they were very excited, and they were worried that Changsun Chong was lying to them.
"Yes, but you must promise that you can't continue to rob in the future, and you must be a law-abiding citizen." The eldest grandson said with a smile, like a spring breeze.
Liu Muxiang has already found the five girls in Daliu Village and the eldest grandson Chong is looking for Yiniang and Princess Changle.
"Cousin!" Princess Changle cried while running, scared her to death, thinking that she would never see her eldest cousin again, and she would never run out again in the future.
Princess Changle ran to Changsun Chong like a frightened bird, hugged Changsun Chong tightly and didn't let go, whining and crying.
Yiniang saw her brother holding Changle, although she was a little disappointed, but thinking that the princess and the eldest brother would get married sooner or later, they were the closest people, so she thought about it.
"Ahh Just when Yiniang showed envious eyes, Li Yexu hurriedly ran over and hugged Yiniang, and her strength was so strong that she hurt Yiniang.
"Yiniang, don't leave me!" Li Yexu said excitedly.
"Oops, you hurt me!" Yiniang struggled, "Let go of me!" ”
Yiniang was safe, Li Yexu quickly put away her excited look, and said with a gloomy face: "If you sneak away again next time, see if I don't beat you!" ”
Yiniang was frightened by Li Yexu and shouted: "Brother, Li Yexu beat me!" ”
"You deserve to be beaten!" The eldest grandson muttered and glanced at Li Yexu, your daughter-in-law is in charge of herself, and you should teach Yiniang a lesson at this time.
"I also know the complaint, I don't teach you a good lesson at night!" Li Yexu said softly in Yiniang's ear.
Yiniang, who was constantly struggling, became like an honest kitten, with a red face and red ears, and she didn't dare to look at Li Yexu, so she could only let her be held tightly by Li Yexu. (To be continued......)
