Chapter 144: The Flames of War (1)
The door on the first floor of the teahouse was locked, and a sign that was closed was very eye-catching, and the fat man found a stone on the street and smashed the door in. When I opened the electric switch, the teahouse was empty, and there were still a lot of tea sets and snacks on the table.
"Cha Ye, this must have happened, there is still a lot of money in the drawer that I haven't had time to take away, the account book is also here, I checked it upstairs, it's similar to here, do we have to go find Xiaobaimi?" Feng Qiyun's residence, only Cha Wenbin knows, according to the hidden nature of that village, it is extremely difficult for people outside to find it. The two hurried to the reservoir non-stop, and on the dark and snowy night, the steep mountain road was slippery and slippery, mixed with the footprints of many people.
"The toes are all facing inward, only people go in, no one comes out," the fat man pointed to the marks on the ground and said: "Look, Cha Ye, these footprints are still fresh, I estimate that at most two hours ago, otherwise such a heavy snow would have been covered." ”
"Who's going where on the big night?" Cha Wenbin frowned and said, "Could it be Ye Qiu, he arrived one step earlier than us." ”
The dam of this reservoir is very huge, standing on the dam at a glance is dark, as if there is no end, the whirring cold wind mixed with snowflakes makes people unable to open their eyes, the toes have long been numb, and the whole person is like a popsicle standing in place.
"I heard you say that someone wants to lead the way, there are no boats and no lights in such a large water, so we are in a hurry even if we come up!"
"There will be some small boats by the reservoir, I remember the general direction, let's use the compass to find the direction, didn't people sail like this in the past!"
Indeed, the only way to get in and out of the village was by boat, and the two searched along the embankment, where a fishing boat was tethered to a pile of rocks. The waterline was almost level with the boat gang, and the two of them jumped into the small broken boat without the slightest hesitation, the water was still dark, and the fat man could only barely look at it by relying on the flashlight.
Cha Wenbin kept staring at the compass to point out the direction to the fat man, the small wooden boat was swaying in this big reservoir, and the cold lake water poured into it from both sides from time to time, and the taste of that was probably only the two of them could understand.
After walking for half an hour, they turned a bay road, and suddenly there were dots of lights on the water in front of them, and the fat man reacted very quickly and quickly extinguished his flashlight: "Cha Ye, there is someone on the other side!" Shall we go ashore and hide? It seems to be coming in our direction, the small sampan can't withstand the collision, as long as it falls into the water this day, it will definitely be dead. ”
"It's too late." The fat man's paddle boat was already slow, and the sound of the motor and the shining searchlight in the distance had already hit their boat, and people couldn't even open their eyes. After a while, a thick rope was thrown onto the boat, and as soon as the fat man took the rope, several people got off the big boat.
"Third Elder?" Cha Wenbin immediately recognized one of them, this person was the elder in Fengqiyun Village, the third in line.
"Long story short, the head of the family expects you to come tonight and let me bring someone to pick you up, you go up to the bamboo raft in the back, and Daddy will take you into the village."
Cha Wenbin saw that there were still some blood stains on his clothes, his hair was also very messy, and several brothers who came down together were holding swords in their hands, and the fighting atmosphere in his eyes was self-evident.
"What's going on?" Cha Wenbin asked, "Where are you going to go?" ”
"Brother Cha, it's too late to explain, you must be being targeted, we can't ignite the war to our hometown, hurry up!" As he spoke, several big men pushed Cha Wenbin and got on the big boat, passed through the long deck, and was transferred to another ship at the stern. After changing boats three times in a row, they got on a small bamboo raft, the kerosene lamp on the bamboo raft was extinguished, and the old man wearing a hat and a cloak raised the bamboo tips in his hand without saying a word, and the big boats chose to go the opposite of them.
The boatman was already familiar with the way, and even if he didn't need a light, he could easily grasp the situation in the river below with just the bamboo pole in his hand. The new "Hongcun" was brightly lit, and the flickering torches were "swishing" in the wind on both sides of the wharf, and the face of the great elder on the shore was very solemn, and he took Cha Wenbin to the council hall non-stop.
When she saw the wind and clouds, she was lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt but could not stop her coughing, and beside the bed, two young girls were washing the gauze in the copper basin, and the water in the basin was already blood-red.
"As soon as I fell asleep, I gave her a prescription to calm and stop the bleeding." A rickety old man got up and said to the Great Elder, "It's not time to disturb now, she's seriously injured." ”
Cha Wenbin stepped forward and wanted to lift the gauze tent on the bed, but the two women next to him just wanted to come up to stop them, but they were blinded by the great elder and retreated.
On the bed, Feng Qiyun's lips were snow-white, his face was haggard and tired, his brows were tightly locked, and his closed eyes kept shaking slightly, as if he was dreaming violently.
Gently put down the gauze tent, followed the Great Elder, Cha Wenbin came to the outside room, and then told him the reason:
It turned out that at the beginning of the year, Luo Men began to attack Feng Qiye's teahouse in various places one after another. At first, it was only a small-scale friction, and the level involved was not high, and it was mostly a few skirmishes on the road. For those who eat this bowl of rice, it is no longer normal to have conflicts. Feng Qiye knew that Naromon had a deep foundation, and he had always taken a defensive position and tried to avoid frontal conflicts.
By the middle of the year, Rohms began to raise prices in the market, especially in the southwestern and southeastern provinces. Feng Qi's side rarely participates in field operations, and occasionally a few times are outside the Rohmon forces, but several times in the middle of the year, they encountered the other party's men and horses on the way to explore, and there were some casualties after the conflict between the two sides, which seemed to be the clarion call for large-scale conflicts later.
In the second half of the year, Feng Qiye's side was successively attacked by black and white, and many underground lines that had been hidden for decades were almost all exposed, and the impact of the impact, the arrested, and their power was hit hard overnight.
Perhaps, just like the organization of Rohm, it has been recuperating for decades, and the political situation has begun to stabilize. There is an old saying called chaotic stone gold, prosperous antiques, the profits on this road have been growing wildly for several years, and it is time for them to make a move.
Considering the unfavorable situation, after discussion, Feng Qiye closed some of the fields, and some of the surviving ones distributed outside also turned into a dormant state. thought that this would be able to temporarily avoid the blow of Luomen, but unexpectedly, Luomen finally found their old nest Huoshan County.
Feng Qi's local right-hand men were almost all killed, and there were still people chasing them on the white road, but it was already bloody on the underworld. In this case, Feng Qiyun decided to resist the declaration of war on Romon, since she came back from the northeast, she has been sitting in the teahouse, until a few days ago, suddenly came a few waves of masters, and the pinching of several people made Feng Qiyun unable to parry, if it weren't for Feng Qi's fight to the death, he was afraid that he would die on the spot.
"Dog's day, it's too much to deceive people, what about the Seventh Master?" The fat man asked, "Is he already ......?"
The Great Elder sighed and said, "We have already gone to see the Ancestor, we suspect that there is a traitor inside, otherwise all the points would have been exposed at once, and they have found this place." ”
"Here?" Cha Wenbin was taken aback and said, "What about the people in the village?" Evacuate? ”
"Where to retreat?" The Great Elder said: "There will always be a moment when the grievances in the rivers and lakes will come, for the time being, they can't find the entrance, today the second elder divined that you may come, we are afraid that you will be followed, so we can only send the third elder out to cover." Mr. Cha, we are deeply surprised that you can come, did you also know about it through divination? ”
"Oops!" Cha Wenbin said: "In this way, you did not see the telegram, and the person who replied to my telegram was not you. ”
"Telegram?" The Great Elder shook his head and said, "I've never heard of any telegrams!" ”
Things didn't go right all of a sudden, and Cha Wenbin asked again, "Has Ye Qiu ever been here?" ”
"Young Master Qiu?" The Great Elder was stunned, "He's here too?" Or did the lord bring him back once and said that he recognized his ancestors, but he left after less than half a day, Mr. Cha, is he really? ”
"It's over, it means that the second child is not here, Cha Ye, you really can't interfere in this matter, I'm the one who fights and kills, and the dog is too arrogant, black and white. Old man, do you have any guys here, like rocket launchers or something......"
Suddenly, someone outside rushed in in a hurry and said, "Oh no, no, no, the brothers outside have received a tip, the people of Romon are about to kill the entrance, you should take the master of the family to retreat to the back mountain first!" ”
"What age is this," the fat man said, "retreat hair, will you fight or not, the dark and crooked roads in this place are all forks, and if you get a little dark thunder, they will have no return." Don't worry, they will never be able to enter this place, Cha Ye, I'm worried about the second child, if the little white face can't withstand it, I'm afraid he won't be able to last long, you're right, they cherish each other, they must know that the wind and clouds are in danger, so he will rush back desperately. ”
