Chapter 27: On the Purple Rock Mountain, Looting Men
Chen Du saw that everyone had arrived, so he walked to the sand table, stretched out his hand and pointed to one of the mountain ranges and said, "This is Ziyan Mountain, you don't need me to say more, you also know who lives here." ”
After listening to Chen Du's words, a big man with a Chinese character face next to Ma Ran snorted coldly at the Ziyan Mountain on the sand table and continued: "A group of notorious bandits, they also claim that their broken village is called Feitian Village, and they still want to transcend Feitian, phew! ”
"Ahem." Chen Du coughed slightly, signaling Zhang Sheng, who was a little excited, to calm down. Then he continued: "Recently, these bandits from Feitianzhai don't know what to do, and they have been going down the mountain for a month to loot passing convoys and pedestrians, and often they are robbed back not only the goods carried by the convoy and pedestrians, but also the young men who accompany them. ”
"Are they short of strong labor?" A slightly younger commander standing beside Yun Tang asked strangely.
The black-faced commander who was standing next to the young commander laughed a few times: "Ying Fei, you are still too young." ”
"Brother Liang, am I wrong?" Ying Fei looked at Liang Cheng beside him strangely, not knowing what he said wrong.
Lu Ping, who was beside Zhang Sheng, replied to him with a smile: "Ying Fei, it's not to blame you for not knowing, if you know what kind of people are the men who have been looted back from Feitianzhai in the past month, you will know why your brother Liang is smiling like this." ”
"Oh, Third Brother Lu, don't sell it, I'm not in the army when I went out to visit relatives this month, what happened, you can tell me." Ying Fei looked around at the people around him, and found that except for him and the newcomer Xuanyi, who looked inexplicable, and Yun Tang's always calm and breezy appearance, everyone else had a "not like that" expression, and even Chen Du smiled helplessly, and Ying Fei became more and more curious.
Seeing that Chen Du didn't mean to stop it, Liang Cheng laughed a few times and said: "It is said that this Feitianzhai has frequently gone down the mountain to loot in the past month, and ten years ago, this Feitianzhai would indeed rob young women back to the mountain, but in the past ten years, Feitianzhai has only robbed money and not taken people, and will only kill people when there is strong resistance."
But now in the past month, the targets of their looting are some convoys with handsome boys, and they still disdain to shoot without handsome convoys.
Not only will the property be looted back, but even these handsome sons and daughters have been looted back to the mountain, according to me, isn't it that the taste of the owner of this Feitian Village has changed, and these sons and brothers are not good enough to be robbed back to do the village minister! ”
Different from Liang Cheng's ridiculous narrative, Lu Ping's statement is more rational. "It stands to reason that the hostages were not taken for money or goods, but after they took the people, there was no news back, and no one knew whether the men who were robbed back were alive or dead.
The officials of Langchuan City have negotiated with Feitianzhai several times and asked the other party to give a response, whether they want money or things, they always have to give a message, but Feitianzhai has turned a deaf ear, and relying on the city government, these officials are not Feitianzhai's opponents at all. To tell the truth, this Feitianzhai is indeed an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, even if we let the Langchuan army attack Feitianzhai, it may not be easy to take it. ”
"That's what I've called you over to discuss." Chen Du nodded in agreement after Lu Ping finished speaking. "I haven't received a response from Feitianzhai for a long time, and the Langchuan City Government can no longer withstand the persecution from the hostage family, Yang Dong asked our Langchuan army to help them rescue the hostages."
