Not long after Yang Zheng lay down, he heard a rapid knock on the door outside, and then Zhao Tiefist's loud voice sounded outside the door.

"Owner, Zhao has an urgent report!"

Hearing this, Yang Zheng's heart moved, and he hurriedly turned over and got out of bed.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Tiequan standing anxiously outside the door, looking a little nervous.

Yang Zheng frowned and asked, "What happened?" ”

Zhao Tiequan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I just received Yang Mazi's carrier pigeon, and the thief from Black Tiger Village appeared, and he is killing towards Yangjiazhuang at this moment. ”

"The thieves are coming!"

Yang Zheng's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly put on his outer robe, and said, "Uncle Zhao, you immediately order someone to ring the alarm bell and inform all the personnel in Zhuangzi to get up and prepare for battle, especially the front door and backyard, and you must send additional people to defend it." ”

"Yes, owner!" Zhao Tiefist arched his hand and immediately left in a hurry.

After Zhao Tiequan left, Yang Zheng also put on his robe and boots as quickly as possible, and then anxiously rushed towards the main gate of the front yard.

Along the way, Yang Zheng looked up at the sky, and estimated that it was about ninety o'clock in the evening, and Yangjiazhuang was sixty miles away from Songfeng Valley.

Although he had just received Yang Mazi's carrier pigeon, saying that the gang of thieves in Black Tiger Village had left Songfeng Valley and entered Baili Plain, according to the inference of time, it would take at least more than an hour for the thieves to arrive at Yangjiazhuang.

After all, the distance of sixty miles is not short, and the thieves of the Black Tiger Village, no matter how fast they run, it will take a lot of time.

With this buffer time of more than an hour, Yangjiazhuang can make preparations for prevention and battle in advance.

At this moment, Zhao Tiequan had already ordered someone to go to the bell tower to ring the alarm bell.

Poop! Poop! Poop! ……

Suddenly, the dull and piercing bell suddenly rang in the sky above the entire Yangjiazhuang.

In addition to ringing the alarm bell, there were also some night vigilers, holding gongs and drums in all corners of the manor, running back and forth, until all the slaves who had fallen into a deep sleep were disturbed.

The gongs and drums of the early warning rang non-stop, and soon, the entire Yangjiazhuang fell into a tense atmosphere.

I saw young and strong clansmen running out of the house in disheveled clothes, holding crossbows, arrows, swords and other cold weapons in their hands, and hurried towards the main gate of the front yard.

Along the way, after seeing Yang Zheng, many clansmen Zhuang Ding bowed down and saluted, and Yang Zheng didn't have time to greet them, so he rushed over directly surrounded by everyone.

Running through the corridor and through the main hall, Yang Zheng saw that the vermilion gate was tightly closed, and Zhao Tiequan was in the spacious front yard, commanding hundreds of elite Zhuang Ding, deploying defenses on the left and right sides of the manor gate.

After seeing Yang Zheng coming, Zhao Tiequan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Owner!" Just now, the second master has taken someone to the backyard! ”

Yang Zheng waved his hand, "Have you all arrived?" ”

Zhao Tiequan nodded and said, "It's almost all here, but the backyard must arrange a person with strong martial arts to guard it, otherwise, if the thieves send a team of elite men and horses to forcibly attack from the backyard, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand it." ”

Yang Zheng nodded, "Well, Uncle Zhao is reasonable, wait to see who is more suitable......"

While the two were talking, in the main hall behind them, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, and when they turned their heads, they found that it was Yang Meng, Tao Yunlong, Yang Xiu, and Yang Shiyuan.

I saw Tao Yunlong and Yang Meng each carrying a copper stick to him, and said excitedly: "Big brother, I heard that the thieves are coming to attack the village tonight, and we have been prepared for a long time." ”

Yang Zheng frowned, and was about to reprimand Yang Meng for a few words, but after thinking about it in an instant, he still forgot it.

Now is a very moment, although Yang Meng is injured, but he is almost recovered, at a moment of life and death like tonight, one more person will have more strength, especially a fierce man like Yang Meng, it will definitely help a lot.

Thinking of this, Yang Zheng didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered Tao Yunlong: "Yunlong, you and Yang Xiu will go to the backyard now to assist the second master in defending, no matter what, you must not let the thieves raid in from the backyard." ”

"Yes, big brother!" After hearing the order, Tao Yunlong and Yang Xiu took the order in unison.

Yang Meng saw Tao Yunlong and Yang Xiu rushing to the backyard, and hurriedly shouted, "Big brother, what about me?" What should I do? ”

Yang Zheng glanced at him, then at Yang Shiyuan, who was waiting on the side, and ordered: "You and Yang Shiyuan are guarding the courtyard wall on the left side and the courtyard wall on the right side of the front door respectively, and you must not let thieves climb over the wall to kill them." ”

"Yes, big brother!"

Suddenly, Yang Zheng thought of Yang Yunhui and hurriedly asked Yang Meng, "What about the little sister?" Why didn't you see her? ”

Yang Meng turned his head and said, "When I passed by the West Wing just now, I heard the maid say that the little sister was changing her clothes. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the little sister of the Yang family wearing a black samurai uniform and holding a long sword in her hand, panting and rushing to the front yard.

"Big brother, I'm here."

Yang Zheng glanced at her and said unhappily: "You are not hiding in the house, what are you doing here?" ”

Yang Yunhui said: "I'll help the eldest brother." ”

Yang Zheng glanced at her, "You have a daughter's family, don't make trouble here, go back quickly." ”

Hearing this, Yang Yunhui pursed her lips, a little unhappy.

Seeing that she refused to leave, Yang Zheng frowned, and was about to scold her a few words, at this time, Zhao Tiequan, who was standing next to her, hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "Fourth Miss, there is a very important matter that needs your help, I don't know if Miss is willing?" ”

"Something important?" Yang Yunhui's eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again: "Yes, willing." ”

Zhao Tiequan said with a smile: "Now please ask the fourth miss to take all the old and weak women and children in the Zhuangzi to the granary in the backyard to hide, and at the same time protect their safety, I wonder if the fourth miss can do it?" ”

"Of course you can!" Yang Yunhui stood proudly.

Seeing this, Yang Zheng waved his hand and said, "Then hurry up." ”

"Then I'll go." After that, Yang Yunhui left happily.

Looking at her youthful and energetic back, Yang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This girl is becoming more and more wild, and it is not easy to discipline." ”

Zhao Tiequan said on the side: "I can't say that, the fourth lady is bold by nature, but she has a bit of chivalrous demeanor." ”

"Chivalrous demeanor?" Yang Zheng waved his hand and said, "I hope that she is like Miss Yu'er of Uncle Zhao's family, and she is a little more ladylike, so that those of us who are brothers can worry less...... By the way, did you send someone over to guard the Western Wall? ”

"Yang Dapeng has been sent over, but the courtyard on the west wall is high and thick, and it is difficult for thieves to break through, mainly because the front door and backyard are more important."

After some command and deployment, now the entire Yangjiazhuang, all the people are soldiers, waiting for the thieves of the Black Tiger Village to appear.
