Mrs. Yong'anhou's cry was miserable and sad.

Soon, a bunch of female dependents began to cry.

Exile is bad enough. Encountering such bandits on the road is even more desperate and terrifying.

Pei Zhang's eyes swept and said in a deep voice: "Aunts and sisters, don't cry. I, Pei Zhang, swear to heaven that I will definitely take you to Lingnan safely. The bandits want to hurt you unless you step over my corpse. ”

Pei Jue echoed without hesitation: "And me!" ”

Some Pei family sons also said in unison: "And us!" ”

The crying of the Pei ladies gradually stopped.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou couldn't cry anymore, wiped her tears with her sleeve, lowered her voice and said, "Good manner, what to do with such a poisonous oath." When it's really critical, I'd rather you get out first. We, women, children, and old people, are dead. With you here, the Pei family can keep the incense alive and continue to pass it on. ”

"Zhang, you promise me. No matter what time it is, you have to protect yourself first. Mother is only you now. You must not have an accident. ”

Mrs. Yong'anhou's eyes had been hurt by crying, and she could only see a few feet clearly. At this time, those red eyes were full of sorrow and sorrow.

Pei Zhang's heart softened and nodded: "Okay, I promise my mother." ”

Mrs. Yong'an Hou looked at Pei Jue again: "Ah Jue, from now on, you and Ah Zhang will not be separated." In case of a cold arrow or something like that, you can also stand up and protect your brother. ”

Pei Jue: "......"

Pei Zhang: "......"

has such a mother-in-law, and the two brothers have not turned against each other, which shows that they are really brotherly and affectionate.

The corners of Pei Zhang's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Pei Jue helplessly.

Pei Jue nodded slightly, and silently turned to look at the injured.

"Mother, don't say that again, and you can't think about it anymore." Pei Zhang whispered: "The Pei family has reached this step in the field, and the clansmen must work together and the brothers work together." When my mother said this, it not only broke my second brother's heart, but also made me embarrassed as an elder brother. ”

As soon as Mrs. Yong'an Hou spoke, she didn't feel appropriate, and when her son said this, she also felt ashamed in her heart: "I was confused for a while and said the wrong thing." Never again. ”

Pei Zhang reminded expressionlessly: "You can't think about it anymore." ”

Mrs. Yong'an Hou nodded, muttering secretly in her heart. I can't say it, just think about it quietly, and I can't do it. In her heart, no one is more important than her biological son Pei Zhang.

It was not until midnight that the exhausted crowd rested.

Pei Zhang found Pei Jue and said apologetically: "Second brother, my mother lost her words for a while, don't take it to heart." ”

Tribulations make people grow quickly. Pei Jue's handsome face had an awe-inspiring face that had not been seen for several days. He also suffered some minor injuries tonight, and now he is properly dressed with medicine.

Pei Jue smiled: "Mother's casual words, how can I mind." After a pause, half joking and half self-deprecating: "I've been used to hearing similar words since I was a child." ”

Mrs. Yong'an Hou did not treat Pei Jue harshly, but she also did not treat her very well. Anyway, Pei Jue is used to listening to cold words, and Pei Jue is also used to seeing cold eyes.

Pei Zhang also couldn't take his mother, and smiled helplessly: "She is this temper, she can't change it in this life." For my sake, take care of one or two! ”

Pei Jue quickly opened the topic and said in a low voice: "Big brother, so many bandits died tonight, and the bodies of these bandits have to be sent to the official office." ”

Pei Zhang said lightly: "This is Commander Li's business, you and I don't have to interfere." ”

Pei Jue snorted.

……

Commander Li sent two soldiers back to Beijing overnight to deliver the letter.

What he didn't know was that when the two soldiers rode twenty miles away, they were stopped and killed by more than a dozen black-clothed bandits. The secret music was burned, and the two soldiers were buried in the dense forest next to the official road.

After three days, Commander Li was shocked and whispered to Pei Zhang: "We only walk forty miles a day. On the night of encountering the bandits, they walked out of more than 200 miles. The soldiers who delivered the letter rode back to Beijing on fast horses, and they could reach the capital in one day and one night. It's time to catch up with us. ”

"They haven't heard from us, could it be that something went wrong halfway?"

A cold glint flashed in Pei Zhang's eyes, and he said slowly: "If my guess is correct, the person who delivered the letter has been intercepted and killed halfway. That secret music will not reach the capital at all. ”

Commander Li suddenly changed his color: "These 'bandits' are simply bold!" ”

Pei Zhang's expression did not move, and he said lightly: "Those 'bandits' deliberately picked that post house to do it, and I think that the official office that came out recently has also been 'spotted'. The Pei family encountered bandits halfway, and I am afraid that they will be pressed on the desk, and it will not be transmitted to the capital at all. ”

If it can't reach the capital, it won't reach the ears of the Son of Heaven and the Prince.

In short, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The farther away from the capital, the more daring the "bandits" became.

Anger flashed in Commander Lee's eyes.

Pei Zhang said in a low voice: "Commander Li, the origin of these bandits is unknown, but it is obvious that they are not good for our Pei family. In the next journey, I will definitely shoot again. ”

"We don't know how many people there are, where they're hiding, or when they're going to do it. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the open, which is quite unfavorable to us. ”

However, they are not without scruples. At least, they only dare to appear as bandits, and only dare to sneak up when it is dark. Don't dare to publicize it, don't dare to spread it to the capital. ”

"It's their weakness. If we want to beat this game, we need to take advantage of this weakness. ”

"I have a plan that can put them in a dilemma. Commander Lee, listen to me......"

Commander Li listened attentively, thought for a moment, and then responded.

……

From the next day, Commander Li sent people to the market towns near the official road every day to buy a large amount of food for food. Soon, some vendors came to hear the news.

The Pei clan plus the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army are more than 1,000 people. Instead of eating dry food, cook on the stove instead. Originally, I could travel 40 miles a day, but now it is even slower, and I can walk more than 20 miles a day.

More than 1,000 people open the stove every day, and the amount of chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables, and rice grains is really a lot.

Commander Li also did not restrict large traders and small traders, as long as there were vendors who sent them, they would buy them all, and the price was twice the ordinary market price.

The vendors are the most well-informed, and they have such grievances...... No, with such a bold customer, it is impossible to let go.

Some clever vendors simply brought the goods and followed behind the big patrons. Sell goods all the way and make money.

Soon, the news spread like the wind.

Even the people in the streets and alleys took this incident as a joke.

I've heard that the exile of the family is miserable, and it is really strange to eat chicken, duck and fish along the way with such a high-profile publicity! Isn't the Pei family afraid of being condemned in the ears of the Son of Heaven?
