Perhaps there was a dream of Yu Gong in front of him, Wei Ming said that the Japanese were shielded, and then fled to Anqiu, and the emperor immediately believed it, and returned to the guard with his eldest son, and when he came back, his face was heavy, "Wei Sheng said right, and there were more than 20 people in the village. There are a few families in that village that are pirates who invaded and lived in a few months ago! ”

It's just that it was too late for Anton Wei to investigate, and more than 20 would-be robbers had already infiltrated the interior to loot.

Wei Ming didn't remember any paperwork, but he remembered an old story.

It was in the summer of that year that the Japanese invaded the territory of Anqiu, and several wealthy villages were slaughtered. The gang of would-be robbers was full of ronins, and the people were completely powerless to resist, and one of the villages that was looted was only five or six miles away from Luting Village, where the Wei family was located.

But in this life, too many things have changed, what if this group of ronins chooses a rich village again?

Wei Ming didn't dare to bet, and Huangfu Baihu immediately asked the two Huangfu Feiteng brothers to take a team of men and horses, while escorting Wei Ming and Cui Zhi back to their hometowns, and at the same time cooperating with the soldiers of the guard to search for traces of ronin haunts along the road.

The way back was fast and fast, and after only half a walk, I met the looted village. There were heavy casualties in the village, and the Huangfu brothers continued to march towards Anqiu while sending someone back to report the news.

After another two days, they heard the news of the Ronin's burning and looting, and the group became more and more silent, but to their slight comfort, they seemed to be getting closer and closer to the Ronin, catching up with the footsteps of the Ronin.

That night only rested for two hours, the group wore the stars and the moon and continued on the road, and when it was dawn, they would be able to rush to Luting Village, and as long as Luting Village was safe, they told everyone to be vigilant, and then moved reinforcements to Anqiu County, and finally they could be one step faster.

The moon in the sky is getting fuller, and it is not far from the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cui Zhi and Wei Ming have all lost weight in the hurry, thinking about Tian and Xiaoyi, who are powerless at home, and Mobao, who is injured and doesn't know whether to raise it well, and the two of them have trouble sleeping.

The sky gradually brightened, Jiuxi Mountain had already woken up in the morning mist, the birds and insects chirped as before, and the two of them relaxed their nerves a little in this familiar voice.

Huangfu Teng said: "Yu Gong is blessed, and it will be safe." ”

For the people of the Huangfu family and even the Anton Guard, Yu Gong is their god.

It's just that Wei Ming and Cui Zhi are not completely relieved, their feet are getting tighter and tighter, and they go straight home.

The few books looted by the ronin are all wealthy villages, and you can see the targets selected by the ronin from the outside by looking at the courtyard houses and village paths. Maybe in the previous life, Luting Village was in tatters and couldn't get into the eyes of the ronin, but this life is different and very different.

Not to mention the fact that salt was exchanged for rice in the famine that year, how many people have been introduced by the Wei family and made a fortune with the Wei family in the past two years? Speaking of the courtyard, the courtyard of the Wei family must be the most dazzling!

The closer they are to home, the faster the two of them travel, even if Lord Wei has experienced ups and downs for half a lifetime, he can't help but show apprehension at this time. Cui Zhi counted Wei Ming's hand tightly, Wei Ming shook it back, and the two walked forward silently in the golden light of the morning sun.

It's just that when they were only a mile away from the village, everyone's pace involuntarily slowed down—

Luting Village and Zhaotang Village, which are connected together, are unexpectedly quiet.

It was already dawn, and there was no sign of the people who got up to do their work, and not a single one of them was smoking, and not even the people who raised chickens and dogs could hear the sound.

A few small saplings at the head of the village were crooked, stone benches were rolling aside, and there seemed to be footprints of clogs on the ground.

Cui Zhi was about to cry.

Wei Ming held her hand and said softly: "Everywhere this group of ronins went, they didn't set fire to the village, but we didn't have it in our village. ”

He was right that Luting Village and Zhaotang Village, except for being quiet, there was no sign of burning and looting.

Is this a ronin who passed by here, but didn't do anything?

The Huangfu brothers led a team of people and horses, escorting the two of them towards the village, Cui Zhi's lips trembled violently, his breathing was short, and he was only a little relieved when he was tightly grasped by Wei Ming.

The doors of every house were closed, and some officers and soldiers who came with them poked in and shook their heads, "There is no one in the courtyard." ”

What about people?

The Wei family's courtyard was in the middle of the village, and when a few people walked nearby, they had already seen that the courtyard was as usual, without any traces of burning, but Huangfu Teng, who took the lead, couldn't help but gasp as soon as he landed at the door of the Wei family's courtyard.

Everyone looked at the black lacquered wooden door of the Wei family and was taken aback at a glance.

There are knife marks on the wooden door!

There are more than a dozen long and short, deep and shallow!

Cui Zhi, who was born in New China and grew up under the red flag, has seen a few thrilling things in the past few years in ancient times, but what he sees today is completely incredible, the chickens and dogs in the village are not smelled, and there are many knives in front of his house.

Cui Zhi tried her best to keep herself calm, calm, and calm, but when Huangfu flew close to investigate, and then said the word "Japanese knife" with a solemn expression, she still trembled.

What about the people in the village? What about Tian, Xiao Yi and Mobao?!

However, Wei Ming suddenly pulled her behind her, "There are people in the courtyard." ”

Before the words fell, all the officers and soldiers unsheathed their long knives.

The cool autumn breeze touches the soles of the feet, wraps around the long knife, and the knife surface reflects the morning sun, which is indescribably cold.

Huangfu Fei was the leader in the end, and when he saw the opportunity, he immediately gave everyone a look, and the officers and soldiers immediately changed their formation, and their long knives were aimed at the courtyard gate.

Is this a suspicion that there are Japanese robbers in the courtyard?!

Cui Zhi's cold sweat fell, and Wei Ming, who was holding her hand, was also soaked with sweat in his palms.

Just as he was waiting for this, suddenly a dog barked out.

"Wang!"

Wei Ming and Cui Zhi were stunned together, Mobao?

Then, Mobao's cries came out one after another, not being beaten or scolding or threatening with a knife on his neck, but clearly wagging his tail to welcome his master's return.

Wei Ming and Cui Zhi both heard it, and the two couldn't help but look at each other.

Wei Ming took a step forward, facing the gate, his eyes signaled the officers and soldiers to avoid it slightly, and asked tentatively, "Auntie, is she there?" ”

The words fell to the ground, and there was a few breaths, and then Tian's surprised voice came out, "Muzi is back?!" ”

"It's me. Is my aunt okay? ”

Tian's voice was full of surprise, "Okay! Well! She said in the room, and said, "Hurry up and open the door for Muzi!" ”

After saying this, Granny Guo's voice also came out, "It's really Muzi and Cuizhi, did the widows come?" ”

Cui Zhi was surprised, but Wei Ming understood, "Auntie rest assured, Granny Guo rest assured, it's officers and soldiers who are here, not widows!" ”

His words were incomprehensible, and the door of the inner room immediately opened, and Cui Zhi also saw inside, and the front of the small courtyard was crowded with people, all of which were adjacent to Luting Village.

"It's really Muzi and Emerald Branch! What officers and soldiers! Officers and soldiers are coming! We are saved! A yard of villagers shouted.

Tian and Xiao Yi hugged Cui Zhi and cried, Mo Bao surrounded Cui Zhi and whined, and the second uncle of the Guo family and the men in the village pulled Wei Ming to talk.

"If it weren't for Muzi coming back, we wouldn't dare to open the door again! You don't know it, the Woko almost broke in! ”

Wei Ming had already seen the arrival of the Japanese in the village, and the scratches on the door were clear and dazzling, and the urgency at that time was evident, he asked, "Why did the Japanese retreat?" Where did it retreat? ”

"It's not an accomplice yet! Go to the West Mountain! The villagers said that there was no beginning or end.

"Who are the accomplices of the Wakos?"

Guo Tianda said directly: "It's that Xishan Yu!" ”
