Located five miles southeast of Anliang County, Xiaohe Town is home to the Lili Battalion, which has now become a huge barracks with 20,000 elite rebels stationed in it.

Originally, Li Li's camp was camped outside the city of Anliang County, but because Fan You was defeated by the Ming army at the Fallen Leaf Slope, he was jealous and had to retreat to Xiaohe Town to avoid a sneak attack by the Ming army in Sanjiang City.

Since Li Li was in the town, the town was heavily guarded, and the rebels set up two checkpoints at the entrance of the town to strictly check the people entering and leaving the town.

Cai Fu's arrival surprised the rebel generals guarding the entrance of the town, because Cai Fu, like several rebel generals who followed Fan You to attack Sanjiang City, failed to flee back to the rebel camp in Anliang County with the rout, and his whereabouts were unknown, and he was either killed in battle or captured.

Under the leadership of Cai Fu, Li Yuntian and Wu Qian and their party entered Xiaohe Town and settled in a large family in the town.

Because there were many rebels in the town, there was already a rebel general living in that family, Li Li was shocked when he learned that Cai Fu was coming, and immediately asked Cai Fu to go to meet him, and at the same time vacated the courtyard of the big family for Cai Fu to live in.

Therefore, the people of that family knew that Cai Fu was an important figure in the rebels, so they naturally did not dare to neglect Li Yuntian and Wu Qian and others, and waited carefully.

Although Li Yuntian lives in a big family in Xiaohe Town, in his opinion, it is not even as good as the houses of those landlords in the countryside of Beizhili District, but it is just a front and back yard enclosed by brick walls, and the houses inside seem to be some years old, and the walls have been mottled.

Looking at the mottled wall, Li Yuntian shook his head helplessly, even a big family in the town is so shabby, after all, Jiaozhi is still poor, otherwise how could there be so many people following the rebels to make trouble?

It seems that he still has a long way to go in order to completely stabilize Jiaozhi, and he still has a lot of things to do, and the top priority now is to stabilize Li Li first and buy time for him to recruit troops in Guangxi.

Wu Qian's room was divided next door to Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian was not surprised that she followed her into Xiaohe Town, whether Wu Qian really went to Taiyuan Mansion to do medicinal material business, or went to Sanjiang City to find the Ming army, it would be of great benefit to be able to enter Xiaohe Town at this time:

If Wu Qian's family was a medicinal herb merchant in Hue Province, then she could take this opportunity to get acquainted with many high-ranking officials of the rebels, and after the rebels drove the Ming army out of Jiaozhi, she would benefit a lot from it, and from the current shape, the future of the rebels was bright.

If Wu Qian is a spy in the city of Zhancheng, it is difficult for her to reach Sanjiang City due to the tight blockade of the rebels, so it is better to go to Xiaohe Town first, and she can find out a lot of useful information, and the Ming army who met Sanjiang City in the future will also have a door-to-door salute.

For Li Yuntian, he hoped that Wu Qian was a spy of the Champa State, and if Wu Qian traveled a long distance from Champa to find the Ming army, it was obvious that the king of the Champa State wanted to help the Ming army attack the rebels, so it seemed that he was helping the Ming army, but in fact, he was to dismantle the "time bomb" buried in the north of the Champa State. ”

In this way, Li Yuntian, who originally wanted to let Champa send troops, become a guest, and he was able to bargain with the king of Champa and get the greatest benefit from it.

Therefore, Li Yuntian turned a blind eye to Wu Qian following him into Xiaohe Town, wanting to find out Wu Qian's details.

In order to be able to accommodate the distinguished guests at home, and also for safety, the family emptied the backyard, Li Yuntian and his party lived in the east wing of the backyard, and Wu Qian and others lived in the west wing of the backyard.

"Miss, these are all rebels, we shouldn't come here, if people recognize our identities, the consequences will be unimaginable." In Wu Qian's bedroom in the west wing, a middle-aged man bowed slightly at her and said worriedly.

The middle-aged man who spoke was Wu Qian's cousin Wu Jinghao, who was the leader of the trip to Taiyuan Mansion this time, but looking at his awe of Wu Qian, it seemed that Wu Qian's status was much higher than him.

"Rest assured, everything has been arranged, and they won't be able to find our flaws at all." Wu Qian walked over and stood in front of the window, looking at the few native soldiers that Li Yuntian had brought from Sanjiang City guarding the courtyard, and said casually, "If they are suspicious, we won't be able to enter the town at all." ”

"Miss, I don't think that Fan Gongzi is simple." Wu Jinghao saw Wu Qian's disapproving look, and said with a deep groan, Liu Gongzi in his mouth refers to Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian used a pseudonym for Wu Qian and made up a name of "Fan Yong", anyway, "Fan" and "Wu" are the same local surnames in Jiaozhi, so they will not arouse suspicion from the outside world.

"Of course it's not easy, otherwise you wouldn't be able to enter the town and get such a good place to live." The corners of Wu Qian's mouth suddenly showed a hint of a smile, "Maybe you can see Li Li through him." ”

"Liley?" Wu Jinghao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his face changed, "Miss, are you trying to deal with Li Li?" ”

"If Li Li dies suddenly, then these rebels in Jiaozhi will be scattered." Wu Qian's eyes flashed cold, and her words were full of excitement, "This is a rare opportunity." ”

"Miss, Li Li is heavily guarded beside him, and if he acts rashly, he will only lose his life in vain." Wu Jinghao's face suddenly became ugly, and he hurriedly persuaded, "A Li Li is not to be afraid, young lady, don't forget the purpose of coming this time." ”

"I know." Wu Qian saw that Wu Jinghao was becoming nervous, so she laughed, turned around and comforted him, "Miss Ben won't do that kind of stupid thing." ”

"Miss, I always feel that Liu Gongzi seems to have deliberately let us follow up, Xiaohe Town is a military stronghold, let's meet him again, it stands to reason that he shouldn't let us enter the town." Wu Jinghao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then remembered something and looked at Wu Qian worriedly.

"Maybe he's a businessman and wants to do business with us." Wu Qian didn't think so, smiled slightly and said to Wu Jinghao, "Originally, I thought he was a rebel, but now it seems that he is not a rebel, and he is also here to do business with the rebels." ”

The reason why Wu Qian changed her previous opinion was because Cai Fu left in a hurry after arriving in Xiaohe Town, while Li Yuntian lived here.

Obviously, if Li Yuntian was also a rebel, he shouldn't stay reasonable now, but went to the rebel to report, but Li Yuntian didn't do this, so Wu Qian guessed that he was not a rebel.

At this time, there were only two kinds of people who came to find the rebels, one was the powerful clan who came to join the rebels, and the other was the merchants who came to join the rebels.

Wu Qian felt that the young Li Yuntian was polite and well-spoken, and obviously well-educated, unlike those arrogant children of powerful families, so she naturally concluded that Li Yuntian was a businessman, and only a businessman would appear so restrained, and he was also a big businessman, which made Cai Fu respectful in front of him.

In fact, the reason why Wu Qian judged this way was invisibly influenced by Li Yuntian to relieve her siege in the restaurant, she clashed with the stout rebel leader who tried to blackmail her in the restaurant, and then was ripped off the hat and headscarf on her head to expose her daughter's body, if it wasn't for Li Yuntian to let Cai Fu help her, then she would definitely not be able to escape the poisonous hands of the stout rebel leader.

In addition, Li Yuntian dealt with it decently along the way, which made Wu Qian, who was dissatisfied with the children of those powerful families, subconsciously think that Li Yuntian was also a businessman.

Wu Jinghao felt that Wu Qian seemed to have a good impression of Li Yuntian, and wanted to remind him again, but the corners of his mouth squirmed for a while and then swallowed the words that came to his mouth, after all, he didn't have any evidence now, and saying too much would only cause Wu Qian's disgust.

Meanwhile, the town of Creek rebels in the lobby.

Li Li sat in the first main seat in the lobby, and on the seats on the left and right sides sat some officials, including military generals and advisers, who looked at the door, exchanged their heads in private, and talked there in a whisper.

Ruan Yan was still sitting at the head of the seat on the left, his brows furrowed slightly, he was the head of Li Li's advisors, even Li Yan couldn't shake his position in Li Li's heart.

Ruan Yan's heart was very surprised that Cai Fu was able to escape death in the first battle of Fallen Leaf Slope this time, he didn't think that Cai Fu was looking for a place to hide from the Ming army these days, otherwise he should have fled back to Xiaohe Town a long time ago, and he was captured by the Ming army.

But Cai Fu is a traitor general of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has always punished this kind of generals who defected in battle, in his opinion, it is impossible for the Ming army in Sanjiang City to let Cai Fu go, unless there is a commotion in the prisoner camp of the Ming army, the possibility of Cai Fu escaping from the prisoner camp is zero.

Speaking of which, it was really time for Cai Fulai to come to the news, when Li Li got the news that he had fled back, he was holding an important meeting of the rebels in the hall to determine the relevant matters related to the attack on Anliang County.

Because the Ming army in Anliang County would rather die than surrender, and he didn't know whether the Ming army in Sanjiang City still had firearms that he didn't know, Li Li had no patience to spend it in Anliang County, so he was ready to take Anliang County, capture the Dingnan General in the city alive, and use Dingnan General as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the imperial court.

Li Li originally thought that Cai Fu had not come back for so many days, and this time he would definitely die, because a Ming rebel like Cai Fu would definitely not escape death after being caught by the Ming army, and this was also the reason why he reused Cai Fu, and now Cai Fu has no way out except for him to protect Cai Fu.

Moreover, Cai Fu, as an experienced general of the Ming army, did bring a lot of help to the rebels, greatly improving the military quality of the rebels, so Li Li was really reluctant to let Cai Fu die like this.

Therefore, after learning that Cai Fu escaped back to Xiaohe Town alive, Li Li suddenly felt a burst of surprise in his heart, and never expected that Cai Fu would be able to escape by chance.

And Cai Fu's arrival at this time is just right to assist the rebels in attacking Anliang County, if he is there, the siege will definitely be much smoother, it seems that God wants to help him break through Anliang County, capture the Ming Dynasty's Dingnan general!!^!
