Chapter 14: The Battle of Fate
As the last of the last car that was clumsy by the weight drove out of the village, Xixi Village, which had been noisy for most of the night, gradually returned to tranquility, and Wang Lun, who deliberately stayed behind the palace, arched his hand to the remaining old and young women and children in the village, and said goodbye: "Folks, there will be a period later!" ”
"King, go slowly!"
I saw that the old man who had just handed over the two great-grandsons to Wang Lun with his own hands also came out to say goodbye to him with the support of his family, Wang Lun hurriedly greeted him, took the old man's hand and patted it lightly: "Old lady, it's so cold!" Elder Kai should go back and rest earlier, those two children, I will explain to Li Si to take good care! Even if it is the other descendants of the village who go up the mountain, I will treat them equally! Rest assured! ”
"Rest assured! If you don't worry, how can you deliver them into the hands of the king! The old man nodded vigorously.
"Old lady, if you miss your child in the future, please send a letter, and I will send someone to pick you up and stay on the mountain for a few days! Also, if someone comes to fight the villagers for this bit of food in the future, take the lead and tell the villagers not to fight with them. Give what should be given, pay what should be paid, even if they occupy the house, don't squeak, don't suffer the loss in front of you! I just turned around and asked someone to go up the mountain to report to me, and then I brought someone down the mountain to stand up for the villagers! Wang Lun said loudly.
"The king is benevolent! The king is benevolent...... "The old man sighed when he heard this, and the two eye circles on his wrinkled face were red and swollen.
Wang Lun waved his hand, and then instructed: "If there is a lawsuit in the future, the villagers can just push it on me Wang Lun!" Remember: I took the children captive! When the time comes, you can cry and beg the county government to uphold justice for everyone, so that they will not come over and be brutal! ”
Before Wang Lun finished speaking, the old man was already in tears, and he couldn't cry. The scrawny old hands just grabbed Wang Lun's wrists tightly and refused to let go for a long time.
I don't know if I was infected by the old man's emotions, or moved by Wang Lun's words, there was a whimper in the crowd, Wang Lun hugged his fists at everyone, and shouted "Farewell!" Then he took the minions behind the palace, and walked towards the path outside the village amid the reluctant crying goodbye of the villagers.
Because of the harvest tonight, among the people who went down the mountain, whether it was up to the two leaders of Du and Song, or down to the ordinary minions, they were all overjoyed in their hearts, dancing along the way, and their faces were full of splendor. Only Wang Lun did not feel any sense of ease at the moment, but the hidden danger that he had been worried about in his heart had not been eliminated until now.
In fact, in Wang Lun's view, the biggest threat to tonight's operation has not appeared!
Since he made up his mind to avenge Li Si, he has not looked at the Baozheng of Xixi Village, and in his eyes, the Baozheng is just a lamb to be slaughtered. This person did evil in the village, bullied the villagers, and the entire Xixi Village can be described as a plate of scattered sand. On the contrary, what has always reassured him the most is from Dongxi Village next to the target!
Chao Gai has some means to do things, according to his own estimates, Dongxi Village is run by him nine times out of ten, and there are many heroes on the rivers and lakes on his village, as the so-called armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions! Whether this force that should not be underestimated will help increase Chao Gai's confidence in taking advantage of the fire, Wang Lun feels that the answer is unfavorable to himself.
To say that this Chao Gai also belongs to the eldest brother who became famous earlier in the rivers and lakes, in addition to the fact that everyone in the same way knows that he is a private businessman who sits on the ground and shares the spoils, he also has a positive white road identity on his head, and has a good friendship with county officials (Song Jiang) and public security officials (Zhu Tong, Lei Heng) and others, the combination of black and white factors, it can be seen that this person's behavior has great flexibility objectively, not only can he do some illegal things secretly, but also can change his identity on the bright side to eat black, and in the end what kind of identity he shows people, It depends on which status can maximize the benefits for it.
Whether King Chao Tianwang has ever eaten black in vain, Wang Lun doesn't know. It's just that he has a "criminal record" in black and black. If Lin Chong is the wrist-dissolving knife that took Wang Lun's life in the original trajectory, and Chao Gai is the person who catches the knife behind the scenes.
Wang Lun also knew that Chao Gai was a righteous person, otherwise he would not have sent someone to rescue him after Bai Sheng confessed to him. But Wang Lun knows better that Chao Gai's righteousness is only limited to treating his brother, if he thinks that just a letter can make Chao Gai regard his eldest brother on the next road as a brother, Wang Lun himself feels that it is a bit too child's play. Just by virtue of Chao Gai's ability to acquiesce to Wu Yong's behavior of pandering to the master's house and merging the head of the house, and then occupying the magpie's nest and claiming to be its master, he knows that Chao Gai is not a person who can be summed up simply by the word righteousness.
Moreover, as a Baozheng, Chao Gai will not be able to estimate the wealth of the old enemy's family. 80,000 yuan of money and grain, the amount is almost close to the birth gang, can Chao Gai resist not being moved? If you snatch it from your own hands and fight the bandits with righteous people, not only will there be no sequelae on the official face, but it will also be of great benefit to them. Since all this is so justified, it means that his group is in danger of being attacked at any time.
The reason why Wang Lun sent someone to Chaogaizhuang to deliver the letter at the beginning was that he had the idea of startling the snake in his heart, and he held it to the sky with kind words, which can be regarded as a number of courtesies in the first salute and then the soldiers. He only hopes that this Chao Tianwang can understand that he is ready to be eaten by white in a few words, and then weigh the gains and losses, don't be reckless, and force everyone to meet each other when the time comes, and it will end badly if it is not good.
But it has been almost two hours since he first entered the village, not only have there been no news from the two people who went to write the book to Chao Gai, but even the minions he secretly sent to the entrance of Dongxi Village to keep an eye on have not been returned, which has to make Wang Lun more vigilant, although he ordered everyone to be careful, but in the end he still couldn't let go, so after agreeing with Du Qian and Song Wan, he personally brought more than 200 elite minions to the palace.
Alas! In the final analysis, all this effort is due to their own strength is too weak!
Lin Jiaotou, where are you, I waited for you so hard!
Thinking of this, Wang Lun shook his head, took a deep breath, and under the stimulation of the cold chill, his spirit lifted slightly, and shouted loudly to tell everyone to move forward carefully.
Originally, the night in the countryside was very charming, but at this time, the black clouds covered the moon, and the faint moonlight disappeared on the dark path, only listening to the whining cold wind and sweeping away, so that everyone's eardrums were buzzing.
"It's really a murderous night when the moon is dark and the wind is high!" , Wang Lun sighed softly.
Suddenly, a sudden warning sound startled, which made Wang Lun's spirit highly tense. I saw a Fulu minion appear and shouted: "There are people by the stream, armed with blades, no less than five hundred!" Seeing that the target had been exposed, this person simply didn't hide it, just warned while running, and ran straight towards Wang Lun's side.
Wang Lun chuckled in his heart, secretly thinking that he had guessed, and this guy came to find it when he smelled the fishy smell! It's just that I didn't expect that the name of this Chao Gai Di Snake was really not blown, and more than 500 people were mobilized! It seems that in the face of absolute strength, his plan to scare the snake has failed. He stabilized his mind, stretched out five fingers to the left and right, and the five minions beside him hurriedly took out the ringing arrows prepared in advance, and shot angrily into the sky, only to hear the smack, and five piercing arrows resounded through the sky.
I didn't want to let off the arrows here, but I heard a burst of exclamations from the stream, and after a few shouts, the crowd hidden in the darkness gradually stopped. At this time, a voice suddenly came from the darkness, urging urgently: "Baozheng, without further ado!" Either take everyone forward with their lives, or come forward to clarify the misunderstanding, don't hesitate! At this time, another person answered: "Mr. Jia Liang, this Liangshan team has passed two or three thousand people before and after, and five arrows have been released over there, clearly counting the number of people and horses such as us, presumably its front team will return to help soon, can I take advantage of it when I come forward at this moment?" This person's words landed, and no one answered, thinking that everyone was thinking in their hearts.
Wang Lun saw that the group of people hiding in the shadows were fighting and not fighting, avoiding and not avoiding, and said in his heart, could this group of people hesitate? I didn't have time to think about it at the moment, but I just knew that I couldn't show weakness at this time, so I stepped forward and said aloud into the darkness: "Wang Lun in Xialiang Mountain, I don't know which hero is here, why don't you show up and see each other!" ”
Woo...... Whining......
Except for the cold wind and the stream, there was silence.
After a long time, there was still no response by the stream.
It's just that at this time, there was a sound of rustling in the dark, thinking that they were discussing countermeasures, Wang Lun didn't urge and shout anymore, he knew that the longer the gang discussed, the smaller the determination to do it, but turned around and made a gesture to the little minions, everyone saw this and sorted out their clothes, armor, knives and guns, wiped the cold sweat on their hands, and waited for Wang Lun's order, and then stepped forward to fight.
"Bolong, didn't you say that there are only seven or eight hundred minions on that Liang Mountain? How many people are there tonight! ”
"The owner, the little brother is also puzzled! It's just that my news will never be wrong, this is the truth told by my confidant brother, I heard that there are only three hundred soldiers who can fight on this Liang Mountain......"
"What do you think, sir?"
"Baozheng, according to Brother Han's previous information, we should have an eight-point chance of winning this time. But at this time, there were no less than two thousand thieves in Liangshan, and although there were four or five hundred people at this time, more than twice as many as Wang Lun's rear team, most of them were villagers, and only thirty percent of them could fight. I think Wang Lun has been on guard, if he fights, and the thieves will take care of him at that time, it will be difficult for us to gain the upper hand! According to Xiaosheng, Wang Lun's letter is sincere, and there is a lot of meaning in his words, presumably he does not want to be an enemy of Baozheng, so it is better to talk about friendship with him, and then make plans! ”
"What the gentleman said is what I want, and I will make peace with him!"
"Wait, that Wang Lun got the new money and grain from Xixi Village tonight, it is the time when he is complacent, although his letter is sincere and sincere, it is difficult to say that it is not to avoid the enemy's back, if I wait to light the torch, let him see the majesty of my village, don't get the heart of Longwangshu!"
"Sir's words are very reasonable, come, light the torches!"
Suddenly, the fire lit up, and four or five hundred men in strong suits stood in the cold wind by the stream with blades in their hands, and the first one was as strong and burly as an iron tower, only to see him take a step forward, hugging his fists and saying: "It turned out to be the leader of Wang Lunwang, a white-clothed Xiushi on Liangshan, who was defending the cover in Xiadongxi Village, polite!" ”
Wang Lun's heart was really Chao Gai, seeing that since this person had reported to himself and reported to his home, instead of rushing over with his head bored, he thought that this battle would not be able to be fought, so he was slightly settled in his heart, and replied: "I don't know if the king of heaven left the village overnight, what is the teaching?" ”
Chao Gai didn't answer yet, but he only heard a person dressed as a Confucian beside him answer on his behalf: "It's really because the villagers haven't seen anything in the world, and they all want to come and see Wang Tou LinkedIn, even if it's a district, they can't help but admire it in their hearts, so Yang Baozheng is taking the lead to comfort the heart of the hero in his life!" ”
