Zhao Lin poured four bowls from the tea bowl on the table, and then stood quietly by the door and waited, perfectly fulfilling the duty of a steward.

The soldier who came to report the news had been hot, thirsty and hungry all the way, and had already drunk a bowl of cold boiled water, but it did not prevent him from pouring another bowl of sour plum soup, and Zhao Lin immediately stepped forward to fill a bowl for him.

Qi Ke drank two or three sips slowly, alleviating her thirst as she walked quickly, and seeing that the two village chiefs were silent, she coughed lightly and opened her mouth.

"Old Ninth Master, Second Uncle Chen, what is the emergency military situation that called me here?"

"The pirates are ashore." The old ninth master said in a deep voice.

"Huh?!" Qi Ke was shocked, he didn't even think about it, and asked a bunch of questions cracklingly, "When did it happen?" Where did you get ashore? Are there any casualties? Is there any property damage? Did the pirates have any casualties? Are there any captives? ”

"The night before yesterday, Qianshan Town, Changyi County." Lu Chen said.

"Where is this?"

"Just south of us, next to us."

"Isn't that close to us? What's going on now? Are we going to be ready to fight? ”

"This is the full text of the military intelligence, you can take a look first, calling you here really requires your help." Lu Chen picked up a piece of paper on the table and handed it to Qi Ke.

The military intelligence document has always been concise and clear, without any nonsense, Qi Ke quickly swept ten lines at a glance, and finally had a little understanding of what happened, and at the same time had a lot of questions.

"What happened the night before yesterday?" Qi Ke pinched his fingers and recalled, "It was sunny yesterday, and it seemed to be raining the day before yesterday. ”

"Yes, that's what we thought before you came." The village chiefs were all nodding.

"In this way, these pirates are good at sea, and they failed to achieve their goal, and were forced to flee back to sea, and they may want to grab another opportunity when they are looking for a new opportunity."

Qi Ke immediately thought of the direction of the ocean current, in case it drifted to their side along the current, it would be another hard battle.

"I know, since the official document says to be prepared, I will prepare enough explosives packs, and then ask the blacksmiths to prepare enough barrels, so let's work together and actively prepare for war."

"Okay, I called you here for the explosives package, the raw materials to be used will be provided by the army, the time is limited, you can make as many as you want, and we will urge the blacksmith to try to produce more reliable barrels." Qi Ke was refreshed and said the words in front, and the village chiefs were not ambiguous and quickly explained the task clearly.

"Okay, without further ado, I'll go back and prepare, and wait for your ingredients." Knowing that the village chiefs were still busy, Qi Ke would stay soon, and he got up and was about to leave as soon as he finished speaking, but he still said hello to the soldier who delivered the letter before leaving, "If this soldier brother is fine, go to the inn to eat, and if you can't eat a hot meal, ask the kitchen to make you some cold noodles or something." ”

The soldier agreed with a smile on his face, and he knew that it was not a chore to come to Siliu Village for a run, and it would be good for his comrades to be entertained with a few steamed buns and pancakes in other villages.

Qi Ke and Zhao walked on the front foot, and the village chief's house on the back foot was busy, looking for someone to find someone, and eating when he should go to eat, the soldier was not just sending a letter, he also had to write down what materials the village needed to bring back and report, so he had to go back to the village chief's house to sit for a while after eating, take the list and then leave.
