"Zhu Jiangping, since you don't know anything, how did you get in touch with the Black Lotus Society?"
"Generally, it is a flying pigeon to pass on the book, and if there is an emergency, I will go to a teahouse called Puxin in the west of Jiuyao City, the boss is a woman of half a hundred, just tell her anything, including the antidote we need every month is received there!"
"Gone?"
"It's really gone, everything I know has been said, please just let me go!"
This Black Lotus Society turned out to be so hidden, all his subordinates were in one-line contact, Shi Jingtian expected that Zhu Jiangping would not dare to lie to him, but this was the only news he could know. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Zhang Yong, tie him up and lock him up here first!"
Zhang Yong found a long rope and tied Zhu Jiangping tightly to a beam in the wooden house like a zongzi.
"Let me go... Please, I won't be able to get the antidote for ten days, and it's a dead end!"
Shi Jingtian and Zhang Yong walked out of the wooden house one after another, and let Zhu Jiangping not return to his heart-rending shouts from behind, death cannot be regarded as a punishment for this kind of person.
The wooden house where Lan Da Niang lives is in the middle of the village, probably as simple as the house where every villager lives. A rattan bed with a square table in the middle and several wooden chairs around it. On one side of the wall, there is a portrait of a handsome and upright man, looking at his wife affectionately. His wife was as beautiful as a fairy, dignified and elegant, and looked down at the newborn child in her arms a little shyly.
"Auntie, what are we going to do then?"
"Let's listen to everyone's opinions!"
"Stone, stone, what about you, distracted?"
Aunt Lan, Yuan Yue, Dong Fei and Shi Jingtian sat in Aunt Lan's room together, ready to think about their next step. But as soon as Shi Jingtian entered, he was attracted by the portraits on the wall. The elegant woman must be what Lan Da Niang looked like when she was young, and the man is Lan Da Niang's husband, the former patriarch of the King Kong clan, her handsome and straight appearance and two sword eyebrows are strikingly similar to herself, so needless to say, the child in Lan Da Niang's arms must be her newborn self.
Shi Jingtian confirmed in his heart that Aunt Lan was his mother, and he couldn't bear to find Aunt Lan who had been suffering for many years, so he really wanted to hug his mother and cry right now, and shouted from the bottom of his heart, "Mother!
Hearing Yuan Lang's shout, Shi Jingcai came back to his senses and rubbed his reddened eyes. As soon as the matter of the Black Lotus Society is over, he will recognize his mother and stay by his mother's side forever. But now we still have to deal with the urgency of the moment.
"Brother Dong, what do you think!"
Dong Fei already knew the cause and effect of everything, although he still couldn't believe it, but he also accepted the matter, and said quickly at the moment, "No matter what, I should not let me punish the evil, but I can't use my brain." Brother Shi, I believe you, what do you say we should do next!"
Everything is clear, but it's still complicated to deal with. First of all, it will take at least two days for the two brothers to return to the imperial city, how to prevent the retaliation from the city lord of Jiuyao City in this time, these people are far from being able to withstand the large number of people. There are also troublesome things to deal with the more than 100 robber captives and the resettlement of the people who have been imprisoned by the robbers.
Shi Jingtian pondered for a while, "Miss Yuan led the mercenaries to send a group of robber captives and injured people to the imperial city, so that the innocent people who were imprisoned could go home, and those who couldn't go back for the time being were first resettled in nearby villages. What do you guys think?"
"Let me escort all the robber captives to the Imperial City!" Yuan Yue was stunned for a moment, and then thought that the city lords of Jiuyao City were all accomplices of the Black Lotus Society, so it would be in vain to send them there. "I can go, but what are you going to do? ”
"Yes, Brother Stone. The city lord and master will soon know that we have broken through Yixiongzhuang and captured Zhu Jiangping, how can we easily let us go, and we will definitely use the military power in our hands to mobilize the army, how can we deal with it!"
"Don't implicate more people to come in! We retreat, leading all the villagers and light cavalry of the sub-village, and taking away everything that can be taken away from the village, except for the village field, there is no way to be surrounded by it!"
Aunt Lan nodded, in the face of the inhumane actions of the Black Lotus Society, it is likely that they will slaughter the village and kill people in order to conceal the news, and it is indeed the best strategy to dodge, and she couldn't help asking, "There are more than 200 people in the sub-village, including the old and young women and children, where are we hiding!?"
This is the crux of the problem, go there so that everyone can safely wait for the rescue of the imperial city, not only Lan Da Niang, Yuan Yue and Dong Fei also looked at the stone with questions.
"Go to Yixiongzhuang!"
As soon as several people heard and thought about it, they nodded one after another, Yixiongzhuang has become an empty village, and the city lord and master may not be able to think that they can still hide there, even if they know, they can hold on for a while with the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain of Yixiongzhuang.
The inquiring looked at Yuan Yue and Dong Fei, and seeing that they had no opinions, he looked at Aunt Lan again, and Aunt Lan also nodded approvingly.
"Then we'll arrange everything and leave overnight!"
It was already early in the morning, and the dark clouds that passed by the bright moon were constantly obscuring the light, and the earth was full of flickering shadows, and there was an unusually dull and depressing.
The four of them walked out of the hut together, busy arranging their own affairs. Shi Jingtian stood there and couldn't help himself, "I have dragged so many people into the conspiracy of the Black Lotus Society, although they are all so obligatory, I must not let anyone fall into danger." Looking up in the direction of the imperial city, "It's all up to you!"
The first to leave Zicun was Yuan Yue, who tied a large number of robber captives together with long ropes, escorted by more than 30 mercenaries, and walked in the direction of the imperial city under the advice of Aunt Lan. A female streamer can be so righteous and resolute, Shi Jingtian has to admire.
The busiest person is still Aunt Lan, and after Yuan Yue left, she was busy dealing with everything. The village was lit up with torches, and everyone was sorting out what they could take and loading them into wagons. Several villagers escorted the people who were imprisoned by the robbers to a nearby village, Dong Fei and a group of soldiers also helped carry the goods, and Shi Jingtian stood there and became an idler, except for Zhang Yong, who was already asleep.
It took more than half an hour for everything to stop. Without a trace of delay, he helped the eldest lady and the old and young women and children to get into the carriage, and the rest of the people walked on foot, Dong Fei and the light cavalry guarded, and the carriage and horses walked slowly in the direction of Yixiongzhuang.
The eldest lady lifted the curtain on the horse, glanced at the empty village, and knew in her heart that with the cruelty of the Black Lotus Society, if she left here this time, there might not be this village in the future. He looked nostalgically for a moment, and lowered the curtains as the carriage moved.
There weren't that many horse-drawn carriages, and many of the villagers were on foot, so the walk was slow. Shi Jingtian was anxious, but there was no way. I can only hope that in order to ensure the smooth escape of Yixiongzhuang's accomplices, the city lord and the master will not send any troops to help encircle and suppress them.
When the sky was dark, the chariots and horses came to the front of the mountain. Follow the already familiar road until you come to the entrance of Yixiongzhuang Village. Shi Jingtian ran to the front, picked up the broken Yixiongzhuang brand and put it aside, and cleared the road with Dong Fei and a few soldiers, so that the carriage slowly entered.
Aunt Lan stepped out of the carriage and looked around, "This place is really secret, I can't hope that the robbers will come and go without a trace." And the mountains on both sides are so steep that only this narrow road can enter?"
"Auntie, you can get in this way, if you want to enter from somewhere else, at least you have to go over the mountains on both sides. Cliffs, grass and trees, there is not even a road!"
The eldest lady nodded, and walked into Yixiongzhuang with everyone. She also has to arrange many things such as the residence of the villagers, the placement of belongings, etc.
Dong Fei and the light cavalry were the last to enter the stockade, and when they saw the stone still standing at the entrance of the village, they asked. "What's wrong? What else?"
"Brother Dong, there are so many things we have to do!" Shi Jingtian was a little sorry, and let so many people get involved for no reason.
"Just say it!" Dong Fei didn't care at all.
"Liao Sha has run away, and she will definitely go to inform the city lord of Jiuyao City. They will definitely go straight to Zicun with a large number of people, and if they find that people are empty, and if they find no one in their search, they may send people to Yixiongzhuang to check again, so we must be prepared to take precautions!"
"Uh-huh! That's true, there are so many of us, how can we say that we can't see it, I'm afraid they will also think that we are hiding here!" Dong Fei nodded, "Then I know, repair the gate here, send out a sentry, and be ready to defend it!"
"Not only that, but if you find out that a small group of soldiers are coming here to investigate, you can't let any of them go. We have to buy time and wait for the rescue of the Imperial City!"
Walking into Yixiong Village, Lan Da Niang felt very good about the house architecture in the village, the semi-underground houses were half hidden under the terrain and big trees, firm and warm in winter and cool in summer. In addition to being a little messy in the house, the furniture and facilities are all available, and you can rest after cleaning up a little.
But I just came from a long journey, and I had to get busy. Dong Fei arranged patrol sentry near the village and outside the mountain, and the rest of the soldiers repaired the gate of the village. As soon as he saw that the soldiers did not complain or ask more, he could know how prestigious and deep the military heart of Dong Fei, the commander of a thousand soldiers, was on weekdays.
"Child, the people in the village are basically settled, what do you think they should do?" Aunt Lan brought dozens of strong villagers to help.
"Auntie, no need, let them rest! Recharge their energy, in case something happens, I can help!"
"Well, if there's anything to tell me, if you're hungry, my mother will give you something to eat. “
"Auntie, you can rest too!
"Don't work too hard, take care of your spirit to cope with everything!" Aunt Lan was indeed very tired, and her body was already a little unable to support it, so she took the villagers back to rest first.
"Brother Dong, let the soldiers rest in turns, and there must be a squad on standby to eliminate all the people who come here to spy on you!"
"Okay!" Dong Fei nodded and got busy.
And Shi Jingtian sat on the narrow road with cliffs on both sides, waiting for everything to come.
