Once he decided to leave, Li Xin did not delay for a moment, and immediately set out to order Zhang Shi to collect the materials needed, count the cotton clothes that were enough to arm the left and right teams, and provide everyone with seven days' rations.

At the same time, the people also counted the soft and collected the things they needed, but soon some people made a fuss because of the scramble, and they dared to shout in vain, but it was useless. Li Xin felt a big headache when he saw it, if he continued to develop according to this trend, let alone set off within an hour, I am afraid that he would not be able to get out of this river valley for a day and a night.

There were hundreds of carts of Tartar goods and countless wheelbarrows, and Li Xin suddenly felt that it was not a wise decision to let the people divide these things. But what is the use of regretting it. Just as he was thinking, a sudden scream pierced the night in the valley.

"Killed, killed!"

The people had seen blood in the previous war, and the vast majority of them were angry, because it was not surprising that they were fighting for goods and causing death. Li Xin sighed lightly and glanced back, but saw the left cavalry team under his command standing in place in a dark and gloomy place, and Lu Jiu was behind him, watching coldly what happened in front of him.

"Lu Jiu, don't look at the excitement, blow the people away, and burn all the excess materials."

Lu Jiu said disdainfully: "Brother Thirteen doesn't care what they do, we have been delayed here for too long, it's time to withdraw!" Although his mouth was stiff, his body was already moving, and he rushed forward first with his horse, followed by the riders of the left team.

Lu Jiu's method of disposal was extremely simple, he killed the guy who injured his life by snatching property, and then ordered the cavalry to drive the crowd of onlookers away. At the last whistle, all the riders of the left team instantly dispersed and began to set fire.

The people were so shocked by Lu Jiu's domineering behavior that they dared not speak out, and Zeng Da, who was still trying to persuade people not to hurt their peace for their goods, came to Li Xin with an angry face.

"How did General Lee restrain his subordinates? Isn't murder and fire prevention an act of banditry? ”

Lu Jiu was following behind him, sneering lowly.

"I'm afraid you nerd don't know yet, before we became soldiers, we were horse thieves in Baoding Mansion, if it's not like a robber, then what is it like?"

Then there was another strange laugh, and Zeng dared to frown when he saw it.

Lu Jiuchang is tall and rugged, and he does have a very heavy atmosphere of rivers and lakes, and he dared not doubt that this guy had ever been a horse thief, but seeing that General Li was still polite and polite, he should always stand up and say a word when he was a military attache of the imperial court. So he said to Li Xin again:

"General Li, look at your good subordinates, or are they not officers of the Ming Dynasty? Killing the people indiscriminately and burning the goods, aren't you afraid that the court will punish you for the crime of arson and disturbing the people? ”

The words were extremely polite, although Li Xin didn't care, but Lu Jiu didn't do it.

"Nerd, there's something else you don't know, right? My thirteenth brother, yes, it is the General Li in your mouth, and I am the leader of the horse thieves. Now, the court dog official framed my thirteenth brother, and we are going to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and go back to Taihang Mountain to live happily. ”

Zeng dared to gasp and looked Li Xin up and down a few times, it turned out that this guy was also a horse thief in Zhao'an, and he was blinded by lard, and he actually reasoned with the robbers. Contrary to Lu Jiu's expectations, what he saw in Zeng Da's eyes was not horror and fear, but a deep disdain and contempt.

Zeng Dang's demeanor changed into Li Xin's eyes, although Zeng Dang was a stunned young man, but he was also a little bold, after knowing that he was a horse thief who killed people without blinking, not only was he not afraid but became even more rude. If he met the original "Li Xin" today, he didn't know what the outcome would be.

"Brother Zeng, you also heard that the generals were all horse thieves who killed people without blinking, and I couldn't control them when I got angry. If you're still grinding around, I can't guarantee what's going to happen next that shouldn't happen. ”

Li Xin felt very depressed, how could things be so twisted! Originally, he saved these people, but now it seems that he owes them something, and this Zeng Dare, there is indeed a lot of blood, but in his heart, he also seems to have a deep prejudice against the warriors, which can be seen from his attitude towards himself and the soldiers. is simply a copy of Zhou Jin.

Although Zhou Jin puts himself everywhere, he still understands the overall situation, does not make mistakes in small things, and even spares no effort to help himself in many specific matters, this person can be described as a model of clear distinction between public and private.

But the Zeng Dare in front of him is different, Xu is still young, and his subjective consciousness is very strong, and many things are completely based on his own preferences. At best, it is said that this is active and enthusiastic work, and at worst, it is said that there is no distinction between public and private, and there is more than enough success and failure.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Xin's voice fell, Zeng dared to be angry.

"Okay, you Li ......" I wanted to call my name, but I didn't remember until halfway through the words that I didn't ask anyone who their names were, and I vaguely remembered that he had reported his name, but he couldn't remember it anyway.

"Li thief! I will take the people to you, and now it seems that I dared to be blind to the dog's eyes, if you are still like going back to be a thief, I dare not stop it, but if you want to kill my people, unless you step on me first! ”

It's really a nose on the face, and you dare to open a dye shop with a few catties of color. Li Xin's face changed, and he sneered: "Where is Lu Jiu, tie up this ignorant child." ”

Before the words fell, a loud "boom" shook the river valley, and the people who were still entangled in fighting for goods instantly became chaotic, scrambling to prepare for their lives, crowding and pushing, and trampling on each other for a while ghosts crying wolves howling, and they were very uproarious. Everyone's spirit is tight, is it a Tartar cannon?

Zhang Shi rushed in the direction where Li Xin was.

"The soldiers accidentally lit a cart of gunpowder, not the Tartars!"

Zeng Dare, who originally wanted to scold him, didn't expect Li Xin to turn his face on the spot, and he didn't care about scolding Li Xin anymore, so he glared at him fiercely and then slipped away.

Li Xin just wanted to scare and scare this yellow-mouthed boy, and it was time for Zhang Shi to make a movement, and if he was a little later, he might really tie up the goods and beat him violently. In this way, he broke off the idea of the people going to fight with the Tartars with him, and took the people to Shanxi safely, and then returned to his hometown when the war was over in the future.

That's the best ending!

"Brother Shi, are all the goods on fire?"

Lu Jiu asked Zhang Shi with a calm face.

Zhang Shi nodded, and shook his head again.

"There are still two cars of babies left, I don't want to give up!"

Li Xin couldn't cry or laugh, when did he still think about the treasures, as soon as the Tartar came, he couldn't keep anything, and it was true that he could save his life. But I heard Zhang Shi explain: "There are two carts of gunpowder, we left Gaoyang, this thing is not easy to come by, and Shi wants to ......"

Gunpowder? Li Xin was ecstatic, Zhang Shishi was really right, it was indeed a treasure, and it was a treasure that could not be compared to gold, silver and jewelry. With gunpowder, their muskets were supplied, and it was difficult to fight continuously.

"Good, good! The gunpowder of this car must pay attention to fire prevention, and must not be splashed on sparks. ”

Lu Jiu pointed to Zeng Dare in the distance.

"Thirteenth brother, look, they're leaving!"

Li Xinxun landed on the nine hopes, and sure enough, the distance explosion generated by Zhang Shi lighting this cart of gunpowder made them sober up, and they knew the danger they were in at this moment.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"Why save them? A bunch of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves! ”

Lu Jiu spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm with hatred.

Leaving the river valley to the east and heading straight for several miles, Li Xin looked back and could still see the sky-high fire. With these two carts of gunpowder, the march of the whole procession was slowed down, even though it was pulled by four horses.

Not far ahead was the Iron Lantern Inspection Division, and Li Xin speculated that the Tartars stationed there must have also discovered this firelight. After the battle in the evening, the men and horses all need to rest, and now that the supplies are replenished enough, it will be more than worth the loss to provoke the inspection department. But for the sake of safety, the left and right teams still distanced themselves and echoed back and forth in case of accidents.

The night was getting darker, the snow was getting heavier, and I couldn't see anything beyond a step.

"This kind of ghost weather, the Tartars will definitely not come out. Thirteenth brother, let's quickly settle down and rest, if we continue like this, people can bear it, and the horse will be wasted! ”

In ancient times, people on the battlefield were more expensive than Ma Jin, and the good food they could eat was tied to the war horses, and Lu Jiu's words were also distressing for these war horses. Li Xin didn't know anything, but there was no shop in front of the village here, and it was a flat river, and the nearby county towns and towns were all under the control of the Tartars, so it was really a dead end to rest on the spot at this time.

It was the middle of the night, the snow was knee-deep, and the horses began to march with great difficulty. But they didn't dare to use torches for fear of exposing their whereabouts, and there was no moon in the heavy snow, so they couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, so they had to rely on their intuition to go all the way, but they didn't know where they could go all the way.

"Look! There's a fire ahead! ”

Leading the way was Lu Jiu's left team, and they were the first to notice that in the thick black night, there were a few lights looming in front of them.

The sight of the fire, which had been walking in the dark, should have been a great excitement, but the mood of the people was uneasy.

Where there are lights, there must be people, Zhang Shi and Lu Jiu came to Li Xin's side to discuss countermeasures. They hope to go and investigate, in case it is the village of the people of Daming, it is better to spend the night.

While they were discussing, the cavalry of the left team captured one person, came to Li Xin and Lu Zhang, and slammed it to the ground.

"Caught a spy!"

After the man who was thrown to the ground saw that the people who captured him were all Han Chinese, he protested loudly: "We are not Tartar agents, who are the brothers?" I am the commander of Datong Town, Ming Dynasty! ”

Lu Jiu smiled.

"It's just a thousand presidents, this is our general, don't come and see you soon!"

Lu Jiu was originally playing with that person, but unexpectedly, that person was miserable.

"Counselor, save my family!"
