Chapter 19: The Untold Secret
Yandao Mountain is steep, it is a very typical easy to defend and difficult to attack, Chen Bao stationed Qilin Village here, to be honest, it is a wise choice, worthy of being a general who once commanded the army to march and fight.
The guards of Qilin Village are very strong, there are many people stationed in shifts from the foot of the mountain, and there are several groups of guards patrolling after arriving at Yandao Mountain, and it is not easy to easily sneak into Qilin Village.
Gu Xizhou silently observed and came to this conclusion, if you want to sneak into Qilin Village unknowingly, you still have to have the ability, and the other Gu Xizhou is not sure, but he is still very confident in martial arts!
"Chen Bao! You must not have thought that one day I Gu Xizhou will sneak into your stockade! Looks like I still have a lot of potential, do I? Gu Xizhou used light skills all the way, and walked some remote places up the mountain, but he also slipped into the Qilin Village smoothly.
At this time, Gu Xizhou was hiding in a big tree and was carefully observing the surrounding situation. He had to plan carefully, how could he investigate the location of this disaster relief silver and whether there was a problem between that Qian Sen and this Qilin Village?
Gu Xizhou was distressed, and suddenly saw two women coming from here, and hurriedly hid themselves among the leaves.
"Sister-in-law! I heard from someone that the eldest brother robbed the disaster relief silver! Is there such a thing? Chen Xi pulled his sister-in-law and asked in a low voice.
Zhang Xirou said: "It seems that there is such a thing! I think your eldest brother is still very happy and has invited a lot of people? Zhang Xirou thought for a while and hurriedly returned, it is said that there is a lot of silver?
Chen Xi got an exact answer, and couldn't help shaking his body, "Big brother is confused!" How can you rob this disaster relief silver? Isn't this a clear way to get along with the imperial court? What's more, what will this make the people of Xiyu do? "Xiyu is now facing a rare natural disaster in a hundred years, and many people have starved to death, and now they have robbed the disaster relief silver, it is not difficult to ensure that the people of Xiyu will not fight with Qilin Village when they learn the news, and then the imperial court will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman!
Zhang Xirou didn't think as deeply as Chen Xi, and couldn't help laughing: "Yo! Isn't our family Chen Ximo afraid of the imperial court? Don't forget, you proposed that we leave the court in the first place! What's going on now? ”
Chen Xi glanced at his sister-in-law lightly and said, "You have long hair and short knowledge, don't be arrogant here!" Ignoring Wang Xirou, who was jumping straight to her feet, she walked straight towards the conference hall, she wanted to discuss with her eldest brother what to do next.
Wang Xirou looked at Chen Xi, who didn't look at her in the slightest, gritted her teeth angrily, and scolded angrily: "What kind of person! No wonder that Qian Sen likes that Liu Yuer, who would like people like you! ”
"Madame! If you don't mind, follow me and have a good chat? Suddenly, a long sword rested on the neck of the angry Zhang Xirou.
Zhang Xirou's whole person was a little flustered, "You, who are you?" How can it be in our Qilin Village? ”
Gu Xizhou said softly: "It doesn't matter who I am, the most important thing now is that you are in my hands!" If I'm not careful, your life will be lost! Ah! Bleeding! It hurts! I didn't mean to! Although Gu Xizhou said sorry, the sword in his hand was closer to Zhang Xirou's neck.
"What the hell do you want to do? Don't hurt me! Otherwise, my husband won't let you go! Zhang Xirou was so scared that she closed her eyes, she had always spared her life, and now she only hoped that reporting her identity could scare off the other party and spare her.
Gu Xizhou said: "Don't worry, as long as you tell me everything you know, I will let you go!" "Is he really lucky? As soon as he was thinking about how to find out the news, the news came to him by himself!
Zhang Xirou knew that if she didn't tell the other party the news she wanted, the other party would definitely take her life, so she said ruthlessly: "Okay! As long as you promise to let me go, I'll tell you whatever you want to know! ”
Hearing her answer, Gu Xizhou's whole person became happy, grabbed Zhang Xirou and left here, he wanted to find a safe place to listen to the unknown things about this Qilin Village.
"Brother! You're confused! How can you rob the silver taels of disaster relief? As soon as Chen Xi entered the conference hall, he couldn't help but hurriedly asked.
Chen Bao was very happy, "Sister! I was hoping to find a chance to tell you? How did you know first! As soon as Chen Bao saw his sister, he hurriedly stepped forward, not listening to Chen Xi's words at all.
Chen Xi said: "Brother! Why didn't you discuss such an important matter with me beforehand? "Chen Xi is about to cry, it is estimated that the imperial court already knows, maybe they have already sent troops to encircle and suppress! Her silly brother!
Chen Bao didn't think much about it, and said excitedly: "Sister! Do you know? Who is the one who is betting on the disaster relief silver this time? ”
Chen Xi is not in the mood to play any guessing game with her brother, her brain is now a pile of mush!
Chen Bao said: "It's that kid from Qian Sen! Hahaha! I robbed him of the disaster relief silver, presumably the emperor will definitely be angry with him, and he will definitely come to beg me when the time comes, and he will not be at our mercy at that time! ”
Chen Bao thought very simply, as long as this matter is known to the emperor, this Qian Sen will definitely be unable to escape the blame, if he wants to live at that time, he can only come to them, and see if he can marry his sister when the time comes! Hum! This kid really has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, his sister Chen Xi is such a good person who doesn't marry, he will like that sick Liu Yu'er!
After Chen Xi heard his brother's words, his whole face turned terribly pale, "Brother! How can you do that? We're all going to die! Saying that, she couldn't stand it and squatted on the floor and cried, the eldest brother is like this for her, is she wrong? Why would she like someone she shouldn't like, and now pull everyone into the water!
"Sister?" Chen Bao didn't expect his sister's reaction to be so big, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned, "Brother, did you do something wrong?" Don't cry! Shrewd! My sister doesn't cry anymore! He hasn't been very smart since he was a child, and many things were helped by his sister, he has always listened to his sister's words very much, and now he sees his sister so sad, and the whole person can't help but be sad, "I, I just want you to be happy!" ”
"Brother! I'm sorry! It's all my fault! I shouldn't like him, and now it's good and hurts everyone! The court will not let us go! Chen Xi grabbed Chen Bao's clothes and cried very sadly, "We can't fight them!" Brother, let's run! Find a hidden place to stay incognito, as long as you live! ”
Before, because of his brother's continuous contributions, his merits were high, and he could not be tolerated by the officials of Xiyu, and he tried every means to take their lives, so he had to kill the envoy of Xiyu Town, and was deducted from the big hat of rebellion, so he could only bring the Qilin Army to this Yandao Mountain to become a bandit. Didn't do anything before, the court also turned a blind eye, but now it's okay, the disaster relief silver has been robbed, the emperor will definitely not let them go, if they don't escape, they will be like the beginning, a dead end!
"Sister, don't worry, my brother will protect you no matter what!" Chen Bao only knew the seriousness of the matter now, and couldn't help but be a little flustered, "I'll send a team to protect you and your sister-in-law from escaping!" The imperial court shouldn't find out! ”
Chen Xi couldn't help but raise his head hurriedly when he heard his brother's words, and he didn't care about crying, "Brother! What are you talking about? How can I leave you alone and run away? It's a big deal, let's fight it! Saying that, her heart became firm, it was this Yandao Mountain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and she found out that this place was good, so she deliberately asked her eldest brother to station Qilin Village here. She hasn't started yet, and she can't just give up so easily!
After listening to Zhang Xirou's words, Gu Xizhou couldn't help but fall into deep thought, it seems that this Qian Sen doesn't have any unknown relationship with this Chen Leopard? Judging from Zhang Xirou's words, this Chen Bao didn't want to rebel against the imperial court, everything was done for a reason! If this person is telling the truth, it would be a pity to destroy this Qilin Village like this?
Thinking of this, Gu Xizhou suddenly felt that he had to think about it, whether to let go of this Qilin Village, or to join forces with Wang Folds to completely serve the Qilin Village! Hey, that's something to think about!
"Report !! Our Qilin Village has been surrounded by officers and soldiers of the imperial court!! ”
A bandit stumbled into the council chamber and shouted at Chen Bao.
"What? So fast? Chen Xi couldn't help but be a little flustered when she heard the words of her subordinates, she didn't expect the people from the imperial court to come so quickly. The order goes down, and all the men in the stockade are dispatched! Now strengthen the defense of the wall! We must persevere until the end! ”
"Yes!" After hearing this, the bandits hurriedly ran out.
Chen Bao was a little uneasy and said, "Sister! You'd better take the path and leave! If you lose, you're dead! ”
Chen Xi said: "Brother! I did! I'm not going to leave you alone to run for your life! What's more, I have to pay a lot of responsibility for this matter! ”
"Sister!"
"Brother!"
"What! Excuse me! Listen to me first! ”
When the two brothers and sisters were sad, they were suddenly interrupted, and the two turned around together and saw a man sitting in the conference hall at some point, and this man was leisurely pouring tea for himself.
Chen Bao was frightened all of a sudden, how could this person come in unnoticed? They didn't even notice it, and couldn't help but pull Chen Xi back again and again, he thought that his kung fu was not bad, but he didn't expect that this person could easily come in under their noses without being discovered! He had to be careful.
Gu Xizhou took a sip of tea indifferently, huh? This tea turned out to be good? Delicious! I couldn't help but take a few more sips.
After Chen Bao looked at the other party seriously, he suddenly realized that this person was not Gu Xizhou who he had seen before? The whole person froze, and when he was about to call his subordinates in, Gu Xizhou finally stopped drinking tea and turned to look at the two people with a vigilant face.
Gu Xizhou said: "Oops! Don't be nervous! I'm coming! It's to negotiate terms with you! ”
Chen Xi obviously didn't believe this, "Conditions? Who knows if you have bad intentions? "She has always been hostile to these good-looking men, this kind of person is a belly of thoughts, one thing on the surface and one thing behind the scenes, especially coaxing the little girl is full of tricks!
Gu Xizhou looked at Chen Xi, who was obviously hostile, a little strangely, and couldn't help but touch his nose curiously, he seemed to have only seen this girl today, right? How do you feel like this man hates him?
