"What's going on?" The butler asked in a pale voice. He was a little scared, he was also in the team, but later he was sent back halfway because of his stomach trouble.

Looking like this, did you meet a bandit?

If he hadn't had a stomach problem, wouldn't he have become a mess of rotten meat?

"Villain. The villain ...... "The soldiers covered in blood, unable to stand steadily, panting and unable to speak."

Wu Nian calmed down, turned his head and said to the housekeeper: "Go and tell the kitchen to boil hot water and prepare clean clothes." Go and get a doctor. ”

"Besides, let the maidservant bring a small half bowl of wine."

"Yes." The housekeeper hurriedly answered and went down to do it.

Wu Nian went up to help the family soldier, asked him to sit down, and said with relief: "It's all like this, and I'm not in a hurry." You can rest for a while, have a drink, and then talk to me. ”

"Thank you.... Thank you, Lord Xiaoqi. The soldier raised his head and looked at Wu Nian gratefully, and said with a breath.

Soon after, a maid came running with a small half bowl of wine, but she saw that the soldiers were covered in blood, and her face was so frightened that her face was pale. Wu Nian stretched out his hand to take the wine bowl and personally fed it to the soldiers.

After resting for a while, I drank a small half bowl of wine. The soldier's breathing stabilized, and he said to Wu Nian, "Lord Xiaoqi." We were ordered to go to Jiangxian County in the north to buy horses and supplies. Supplies are easy to buy, but horses need to be picked. Leader Li took us to the horse market, picked ten good horses, and paid for them. ”

"The boss told us to wait, saying that it was for soybeans and eggs, and after feeding the horses, it would be delivered to us. Leader Li didn't think much about it, and agreed. After waiting for a while, the boss came out and brought ten horses. Leader Li was furious and reasoned with the boss, but was killed by a group of strong men. I got away with it. ”

Zhang Jin's forehead was bruised, his eyes were spewing fire, and he said angrily: "Ten good horses, replaced by ten horses." It's a robbery. What kind of ruffian hooligan dares to rob like this. ”

A good horse is a war horse.

A horse is a horse that pulls carts and transports goods.

Although they are all horses, their value is very different.

Wu Nian's face was also gloomy, like a sky about to rain, black and oppressive. But he quickly calmed down and raised his hand to signal Zhang Jinxian to hold back his anger.

Li Sheng's team of more than a dozen capable men went to buy horses, and a discerning person knew that it was not easy to mess with at a glance.

Li Sheng is not stupid, he went up to theorize, and he must have signed up for his identity. The size of the small flag of this hundred households is also an official.

But the other party didn't take it to heart and still ate his money.

is so bold, there must be someone behind it.

"You know. What is the surname of this horse seller, and what is his background? Wu Nian took a deep breath, lowered his head, and said with a cold light shining in his eyes.

"The villain only knows the surname of the horse seller, Zhang, I don't know what his name is, and I don't know what background he has." The soldier lowered his head a little ashamedly and said.

Wu Nian sighed, he really didn't know.

But forget it, he was lucky to be able to escape back and report the news. If the whole army is wiped out, and there is not even a person to report it, then it will be miserable.

At this moment, the butler hurriedly ushered the doctor in. Wu Nian asked the housekeeper to help the soldiers go down, and let the doctor check the injuries.

Wu Nian lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned his head to Zhang Jin and said, "Brother." You go and ask Li Yong to assemble my team. You go and gather another team of soldiers, and we will go to Jiang County. ”

"Yes." Zhang Jin suppressed his anger, answered and left in stride.

Wu Nian took a deep breath, sat down on the chair in the main seat, and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

This little tea can't extinguish the anger in his heart at all.

"It doesn't matter who it is. If you swallow my money, you have to pay the price. ”

With Wu Nian's current status in Beishan Fort, it is easy to use his own team of small banners.

Li Yong, Tie Niu and others quickly assembled, and put on their battle jackets and weapons, his own team of soldiers, not to mention, plus two baggage carts, food on the road, and accommodation were not worried.

Wu Nian and Zhang Jin walked out of the gate of Wu Mansion together and turned over on the horse together. At this moment, Liu Xiang chased out of the mansion, looked at this scene and was a little worried, and asked, "Brother, why are you going." ”

"Go do something." When Wu Nian saw this little girl, he immediately changed her face, turned over and dismounted, reached out and pinched her tender white face, and said softly: "Brother will be back soon, don't worry." ”

"Hmm. Brother, come back early. Liu Xiang was thicker than Chen's, and although she was also red-faced, she didn't run away and responded obediently.

After appeasing his fiancée, Wu Nian once again turned on his horse, shouted, and led the men and horses to Jiang County.

There are several county towns around Beishanbao Baihu. Jiang County in the north is a large county, not only with a large population, but also with a very important geographical location.

It is a transportation hub, and all kinds of caravans and goods must stop in Jiangxian. In this case, the local trade is prosperous and needless to say.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Nian asked Li Sheng to go to Jiang County to buy supplies and horses.

I didn't expect this pool to be bigger, and there are more dragons. His ship capsized in Jiangxian County, and he was really caught off guard.

This mountain road is difficult to walk, and you can't get to Jiang County in one day.

In the evening, Wu Nian chose a relatively open place, set up a tent, and arranged for people to take turns to keep vigil, and spent the night in the wild with the wolf howling.

Early the next morning, Wu Nian ordered the pull-out. Halfway through the afternoon, they arrived in Jiang County.

"It's a county seat. It's really bustling. Zhang Jin rode a horse, looked at the people coming in and out of the city gate in the north, looked at the carts carrying goods, and sighed.

The others are similar, and they have gained a lot of knowledge.

Even Wu Nian. It's a shame to say that since the crossing, he has been active in Beishan Fort or in the mountains, and it is the first time he has come to the county seat.

However, Wu Nian's attention soon shifted from the bustling county town to the walls of the city.

"Brother, look, such a city. As soon as the Meng Yuan people come, I'm afraid, hey. Wu Nian pointed to the city wall in front of him, sneered and shook his head.

The walls of the North Hill Fort, that is, the sieve that leaks everywhere.

Compared with Beishan Fort, the county seat of Jiangxian County is not much better. The city wall is only about a zhang high, rammed earth wall. Not only is the weathering extremely severe, but cracks have also appeared in some places.

Such a city wall does not have much defensive power.

"Hmm." Zhang Jin raised his eyes and sighed.

You have to be disciplined in doing things. After looking outside the city for a while, Wu Nian did not rush into the city. beckoned Li Yong and Zhang Sheng to come over, and ordered, "You two go to the city to investigate." What is the name of the businessman surnamed Zhang, and who is the person behind it. ”

"Li Sheng, what about those people. Is he dead, or is he detained? Find out all about it. ”

"Yes." Li Yong and Zhang Sheng responded, then changed their outfits, disguised themselves as ordinary men, and entered the county seat.

Wu Nian was very calm and led the rest of the people to wait outside.
