Chapter 9: A looming crisis
After a while.
Three people went in, four people came out, and there was one more gray-haired old man.
"Little Lao'er is the head of this village, meet the general"
The old man was not very articulate and stumbled when he spoke, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the horse.
Looking at this nervous old man, the general of the forbidden army sat on his horse and comforted: "This general will not enter the village, nor will he harass you, so he will camp here for a night, please send some food, we will leave early tomorrow morning."
"Understood... Little Lao'er will go to the village to Zhang Luo immediately."
The old man's two arms on the ground trembled like an electric shock, and he didn't dare to raise his head, so he got the task, turned around and trotted away.
The general of the forbidden army is rough and fierce, but he is sympathetic, Zhang Ming commented in his heart.
The night breeze is rising, and the glow that has left in the sky is about to dissipate, and it is already late enough.
Many Lifu carried the coffin to a flat ground, and the others held a long bench and placed it on the flat ground, and the coffin could not land, and when it was almost over, the Lifu carefully lowered their bodies, and the heavy coffin was erected on the bench, maintaining a certain height with the ground.
"Whew~"
"I'm tired..."
“······”
The wives either straightened their backs and gasped, or they sat on the ground and wiped the sweat on their faces with their hands, and shook their palms to spread sweat all over the ground.
"Be careful, my lord"
The two forbidden soldiers were courteous and stretched out their hands, intending to help Zhang Ming when he dismounted.
"No" Zhang Ming declined, adjusted his position, sat on the side, and then landed on the ground lightly.
This scene was seen by the generals of the forbidden army who were resting, and there was a touch of surprise on Gujing Bubo's face, in his cognition, the favorite of these civil officials who danced and wrote ink was to sit in a sedan chair, lie in the carriage, and let them ride horses, but there had to be a joke to watch, and the next person moved a stool and stepped on it, and when he came down, he also asked someone to help him.
I didn't expect this civil official, riding a horse for a day without shouting soreness, and coming down with ease, there was something, and the sense of contempt in my heart dissipated a lot.
"Sit, sit, sit, sit"
A soldier of the Forbidden Army opened a pair of folding matzas and placed them on the ground, grinning on his face, and the previous speech on the street made him respect this ambitious adult with great respect.
Zhang Ming was not polite, he was very grinning, sat down steadily, looked at the entrance of the village, but found that there was movement over there, and a group of villagers walked towards them, one by one, with their backs, all of them were full of food.
If this was the case, Zhang Ming would not have too many psychological fluctuations, but when his eyes reached the top of these people's heads, he was a little uneasy.
These people have exclamation marks all over their heads, and every single one of them has them!

【100 Money】
【1 piece of broken silver】
【One gold ingot】
······
After a quick glance, most of them were money, but there was only one thing that made Zhang Ming particularly excited, and his eyes stayed on the man in coarse cloth, who was carrying two loads of food and was extremely strong.
[Reward a copy of "Flame Qigong Wave"]
[Grade: Prefecture-level unique book]
Zhang Ming's eyes lit up, her elbows were on her thighs and knees, her hands rubbed her chin, and her eyes were in that posture...
The strong man who was carrying the food only felt an inexplicable chill suddenly coming from his body, and followed the intuitive direction and looked very quickly.
The moment he saw Zhang Ming, his eyes flickered, the chill in his eyes grew thicker, a strange sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, and he secretly said in his heart: "Zhang Ming dog thief, you're finished!" ”
The food was stacked on the ground, and the resting Lifu began to get busy.
"Your village... There are a lot of strong laborers, all of them are full of energy, and their physiques are strong, and the food here is very high? ”
A word that was not salty or light, floated over, fortunately it was getting dark, otherwise I could see that these villagers were shaking one by one.
When the general of the forbidden army heard Zhang Ming's words, he slowly stood up from the maza, his eyes wandered, and he began to look at these villagers carefully, and his heart was also full of doubts.
It is normal for the village to have strong laborers, and it is a bit abnormal for many strong people, after all, each family is less than four or five people, all the way over, it is not like there is a field with abundant grain production, look at these villagers, full of spirit, high spirits, strong tendons, and all young and strong, not like farmers but like... Soldier!
Right now.
The deputy general, who didn't speak much, suddenly gaged: "General, although this village is not rich, it can still fill its stomach by relying on the mountains and eating the mountains, and the guys in the village all yearn to be soldiers, and they practice hard every day, just to be loyal to the king and serve the country."
The general of the forbidden army looked at the deputy general with suspicious eyes, and said coldly: "How do you know so well? ”
I saw the adjutant general clasping his hands into fists, bowing slightly, and replied earnestly: "The lowly post came out of this village, and today there is just the opportunity, and I plan to let the general pass through these lowly village neighbors, and I want to take them with me and eat more."
Hear this.
The general of the forbidden army, who had been straining his face, laughed unprecedentedly and said, "I think you brought me here on purpose, just to give them a chance, right?"
"Yes"
"Okay, I'll take them, but when I come back from Lu Chuan"
"General Xie"
The conversation between the two, Zhang Ming listened to it in his ears and saw it in his eyes, and he already understood it in his heart.
This deputy general either doesn't speak, and as soon as he speaks, it is an important moment, bringing people to this side, and he wants to enter the village himself, and now he is saving the day.
Zhang Ming could feel countless pairs of eyes on him, and the pinprick caused by that look was clearly hatred!
Don't think about it.
These villagers and the lieutenant general have something to do with the dead general Zhenguo, and they are coming to kill themselves.
He knew everything in his heart, but the expression on his face was as usual, he didn't plan to debunk and say more, this forbidden army obviously trusted this deputy general, since this is the case, what he can do is to practice, practice "Heavenly Puppet Corpse" to get the first bodyguard out.
"Make a fire~"
"Put the pot on the rack"
"Hurry up and get the rice, starve to death"
Listening to the husbands shouting over there, waiting for dinner one by one, Zhang Ming was further alerted, the food sent by these people was not poisoned, right? Then I can't eat it.
The night is getting darker, and even with torches and bonfires, it is difficult to see the faces that have taken off their disguises and revealed their true expressions.
Hideous and vicious!
These real faces looked at the Lifu and the Forbidden Army who were sitting around and cooking like dead people, and just skimmed around, and then the eyes of these faces focused on the figure sitting in the corner.
This person!
is the primary goal!
Somehow, at the foot of the mountain, I didn't hear the insects chirping and the night birds, and the silence and fear gathered from all directions like a big net, as if waiting for a signal to close the net immediately.
