Chapter 255: Risks on the Way Home
Although he knew that it was very rude to keep staring at other people's faces, Ouyang Huaisen was still stunned for a moment after seeing those eyes.
"I'm sorry......" Ouyang Huaisen, who came to his senses, immediately apologized to this "scar man". However, it seems that he has long been accustomed to this kind of gaze, but this "scar man" did not take it to heart.
"It doesn't matter. My code name on the rivers and lakes is Hawkeye, and the prince can call me Hawkeye directly. In the end, Ouyang Huaisen still welcomed people in through the main entrance.
Ouyang Huaisen set up a room for Hawkeye, and then began his own deliberations.
Early the next morning, Ouyang Huaisen, Prince Yong, and Hawkeye set off.
The cold winds in the south were more intense than expected. Ouyang Huaisen gave up the knee pads that Xia Zhixue had prepared for himself to Prince Yong. However, Prince Yong looked at him with a proud face, and then lifted his coat, which was already wrapped in a thick pair of knee pads.
"You'd better keep it for yourself. Your third sister-in-law has already prepared it for me. ”
So Ouyang Huaisen had to bring his knee pads by himself, and it was really warm. At this time, Ouyang Huaisen suddenly saw the eagle eye beside him out of the corner of his eye, presumably there is no anti-freezing equipment in the Jianghu style, right? So Ouyang Huaisen gave up his cloak to Hawkeye.
Hawkeye was particularly surprised, how could his identity take the prince's cloak? So Hawkeye hurriedly shirked, "Thank you, Lord Wang." Hawkeye is a Jianghu person, and there is nothing anti-freeze or non-frost-resistant. ”
However, Ouyang Huaisen directly put the cloak on Hawkeye's head, "This is an order." ”
Hawkeye had no choice but to obediently put the cloak on his body, feeling the warmth brought by the fur in the cloak.
After arriving at their destination, the three of them found that it was much easier to implement than they had imagined. Due to the cold weather, it was also difficult for the rich armor to hire people to guard their warehouses. When the three of them sneaked up on one of the rich armor warehouses. I was still really taken aback.
Because the reserves here are already comparable to the reserves of the treasury in the palace. The three of them only secretly took half of the grain, grass and warm utensils in the warehouse, and the rest was enough for the expenses of the whole house of Fu Jia.
"We have to extort all the homes of the rich armor in this neighborhood as soon as possible, otherwise the news will spread tomorrow, and the remaining rich armor will be on guard at that time." Prince Yong spoke.
Ouyang Huaisen nodded undoubtedly. "And every household borrows something that must be awkwardly recorded. Later, when the treasury is sufficient, it will be returned again. ”
The first night was quite fruitful. They stopped at a small remote inn, stockpiling everything in a cave not far away.
The news spread much faster than they thought. The next day, at a local Fujia's house, they found more than 100 people of all sizes gathered around the warehouse.
Ouyang Huaisen frowned, this is not easy to act. Prince Yong was not surprised by this kind of scene.
"Hawkeye, how many can you handle?" 187
Hawkeye looked seriously at the strong men surrounding the warehouse, "Half of it." ”
Prince Yong nodded, "Huaisen, don't move here, I will solve those individuals with Hawkeye." Although they appear to be very strong, the frostbite on their faces and hands already indicates that they don't have much physical strength on them. ”
Ouyang Huaisen rarely danced with a gun or sword, but at this time, he found that all he could do was wait in place. Sure enough, it was right to listen to Princess Laiyang's words.
As Prince Yong expected, although the strong men looked stronger than the other, in fact, the strength on their bodies had already been defeated by the wind of the cold wind.
Hawkeye also knew that he couldn't kill these people, so he just threw them to the cold ground one by one. Prince Yong is also going particularly smoothly here. The three of them went into the warehouse in turn, and found that the warehouse here was several times larger than some of the granaries of yesterday.
It was like that for the rest of the day. Hawkeye and Prince Yong were responsible for knocking down the strong men outside the door, and Ouyang Huaisen was responsible for recording and transporting the goods that had been moved.
After three days of collecting goods, the three of them had filled the entire cave. In the next few days, the three of them divided into three directions and delivered the warm equipment and food to the courtyards of each family in turn. The refugees hid themselves in their houses and refused to come out, so it was very convenient to send them.
In order to prevent them from not knowing that there was grain and grass in the yard, a pair of hands knocked on the doors of each house.
Ouyang Huaisen secretly observed on the wall of the first house to send warmth, the man in the house carefully opened a little crack in the door, for fear that the cold wind would come in, after looking around and finding that there was no one, the man was a little angry, and was about to turn around and go to the house, suddenly the corner of his eye skimmed to the pile of grain piled up in the yard into a small hill, the man rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe it.
Next, the man slapped himself, then knelt on the ground and began to kowtow everywhere, < kept muttering, "Thank God!" Thank God! ”
After Ouyang Huaisen left a satisfied arc at the corner of his mouth, he began the next work.
The distribution work is far smoother than the extortion work. Before, three people acted together, but now they can act in three directions. Finally, before dark on the fifth day, it was confirmed that all the refugees had food and warmth.
However, the way back was not so smooth.
The horses in their wagons had not eaten food for three days, and when the grain was finally distributed, they forgot to leave a little food and grass for their horses. Coupled with the bitter cold wind, it was difficult for the group to walk an inch in the cold wind, but at this time they had come to a deserted place, and there were no people within a radius of a few miles, even if they wanted to ask for some food and grass for the horses.
Finally, after a few kilometers of staggering, the horse finally collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, the three of them were agile enough, so they didn't fall to the ground. Looking at the horse paralyzed on the ground, Prince Yong's heart ached a little, perhaps because he had been on the battlefield for a long time, Prince Yong regarded the horse more as his friend than a mount. Seeing the death of his comrades-in-arms, Prince Yong's heart was mixed.
"Are we going to walk back?" Ouyang Huaisen sighed and looked at the road ahead that seemed to have no end in sight.
Hawkeye nodded, "It seems like there's no better way to do that." ”
Ouyang Huaisen suddenly thought that Xia Zhixue had given him a note before he came, so he couldn't wait to search for his innermost clothes. Soon, Ouyang Huaisen felt a rough texture and quickly took out the crumpled note. It's a note, but it's an envelope, densely covered with words.
