Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Battle of the County Guard
"The army marches must carry at least seven days' worth of dry food every time they travel, although it is close here, but it is absolutely impossible to miss a cent, although not all of you are men or children who can join the army, but there should always be someone who knows!"
"But that's not enough for us all to eat!"
"Of course it's not enough, but you should know that there is a lot of grain and grass in the Tibetan Snow Valley twenty miles away!"
"You mean let's grab it!"
"Of course not, because the grain in the Hidden Snow Valley is also escorted by our Yun family caravan, of course we understand the situation there, and the steward and the Lord of the Hidden Snow Valley are familiar with each other, so when the time comes, I will borrow some of it to solve the urgent need, and when the time comes, there will naturally be enough food in the Snow Mountain County!"
"But how can we believe you!"
"Give!" The squad leader threw out a small package, and there were also packages that had been prepared long ago in other directions, and what was in it was naturally grain
"It's food!"
"Don't grab it, there are not many grain caravans, so we can only share it for everyone to pad our stomachs first, and we can only wait until we get to Snow Mountain County to have a good meal with everyone!"
"Many"
"Shhh
Those bandits' camp changed in an instant, in fact, the reason for this change is also very simple, because what they eat every day is just some porridge, and occasionally some broth made of fierce beasts, what is the use of so many people? Besides, if there are good ones, they should be provided to those grandmasters first, even if the grandmasters don't eat them, they can't bear to have flatterers, so these dry foods don't seem to be nothing, but they are the most effective food!
The bandit took the food and the attack was no longer so ferocious, even if there was an attack for individual reasons, of course, this is not a difficult thing for the guards on the mountain, the most powerful thing about the crossbow is the accuracy, the mountain has become much more harmonious when climbing up and down, although there are still casualties, but the number will be almost zero
Until the evening, the attacks of the bandits had become sporadic and sporadic in fact, in fact, those who still attacked were naturally not all the way to the vast majority of people, but after all, there were always different choices
"I can't imagine that the general's method really works!" The middle-aged grandmaster sincerely admired, at least according to this situation, it was nothing to persist for only three days
"But if it goes on like this, won't the other sect master notice it?" The white-haired grandmaster frowned, but when it came to the key point, Xiao Zheng also felt that the other party should have some reaction, but in the current situation, even if the other party's grandmaster wanted to do something, I am afraid that he would not be able to do anything, and the other party's grandmaster must have experienced the war with the northern beast clan, so he should not do anything stupid
"It's certain to be perceived, but I can't think of what the other party is going to do, the current situation is a foregone conclusion, no matter how much you promise, you can't get the real thing, the bandits won't work hard, if it weren't for the deterrence of the grandmaster himself, in fact, rebellion is possible!"
"Then what is the other party left to do?
"I don't know about this, but since I stayed, there must be a meaning to stay, and there are still three days to go, and there are no variables!"
"Then we'll just delay, anyway, it's definitely not us who is in a hurry now!" The middle-aged grandmaster understands that the current situation is that the longer he persists, the more beneficial it will be to himself, and the greater the pressure on the other party
"The general is really a genius, so I'm afraid it won't be long before he can become famous in Snow Mountain County!" After everyone left, Qin Wanru still stayed
"Everyone says this, does the senior sister also tease me like this, I don't think they will be stupid enough to spread this kind of news that is not good for them!"
"Although they won't, the Yun family will, and so will those reinforcements, and when these bandits or homeless people arrive in Snow Mountain County, things related to you will still be spread!"
"Well, then I'll tell Steward Wang now, try not to reveal my identity, and don't publicize this incident!"
Qin Wanru looked at Xiao Zheng quietly, and although Xiao Zheng said this, his body did not move, it was already obvious that this was impossible
"That's how hard it is!" Xiao Zheng couldn't help but sigh
"What is the general embarrassed about?" Qin Wanru said with some doubts, you must know that being famous has many benefits
"Now I don't have any foundation, and my reputation has attracted a lot of attention for no reason, which will definitely have a lot of impact on my future actions, and I don't want many people to follow me when I go to the toilet!"
"Poof!" Qin Wanru couldn't hold back her laughter for a while, what does it mean that someone follows you when you go to the toilet, it really comes to that point, I'm afraid that the toilet is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and I'm afraid that something will happen, but it seems that uh, it's true, it's really like this
"Hehe" Xiao Zheng rubbed his nose helplessly, and he didn't know what Qin Wanru was laughing at
"The general is too worried, you are still a student, when this mission is over, it will naturally weaken when you return to the academy for a while, so you can rest assured!"
"Ahem, did you suddenly find out that Senior Sister came out to do the task this time, and there was no servant with her?"
"My servants are just taking care of my daily life, and this time they came out to do a mission, so naturally they won't follow!"
"In this way, it's not early, senior sister hasn't rested since yesterday" Xiao Zheng nodded suddenly, but seeing that Qin Wanru still had no intention of leaving, he couldn't help but feel a little difficult, so he had to say directly
Qin Wanru looked at Xiao Zheng coldly and didn't speak, but Xiao Zheng himself felt a sudden pressure, and there was an urge to break out in a cold sweat on his forehead
"Then I mean, senior sister might as well rest here now, there are no acquaintances around, what is my name is senior sister!"
"Yes!" Qin Wanru responded lightly, sat directly cross-legged and closed her eyes to recuperate, and exhaled softly, she was a little nervous for a long time just now
In fact, Xiao Zheng really thought too much, the reason why Li Yunfeng and the other five people were still kept was because of the order of the former county guard, it was impossible at this time, after all, these grandmasters were the grandmasters of a county, not the private property of the former county guard of Snow Mountain County, and being able to help with this thing already showed that he did his best, and he lost one grandmaster and seriously injured one, and even Li Yunfeng himself simply took Xiao Zheng's blow and the internal force in the dantian was exhausted
If it were someone else, maybe Li Yunfeng's five people would consume some pills to fight, but it was really unwise to fight with the Qin family and the Marquis General of the Great Song Dynasty here, the main reason was that this matter itself was just a minority obeying the majority, not something that everyone agreed on, of course, there were objective reasons, Xiao Zheng's combat effectiveness and the pills in the caravan were the most important, and Li Yunfeng and the others did not have these things to consume
"What's the reaction of those bandits now?"
"I didn't react, now I don't even have the sound of shouting and killing, I didn't expect this Yun family caravan to be so ruthless, willing to give half of the grain to the bandits, even if we don't break the trust of the bandits, it is impossible for us to really sell our lives!"
"There's no way around it."
"Alright, don't worry about it, we can leave tomorrow night!" Li Yunfeng waved his hand and said lightly
"Then let's leave, but if that's the case, I'm afraid that Liu Junshou will leave a mustard in his heart, and when the Li family withdraws in the future, maybe it will stumble on us!"
"When the time comes, let out some rumors, Liu Junshou has been operating here for decades, and the Li family can squeeze it down as soon as it comes, although we know the energy of Liu Junshou, but this Li family should not be underestimated, and when the time comes, this Li family may not spit out the position of this county guard!" Li Yunfeng closed his eyes and slightly probed his dantian
"But the Li family is not from Snow Mountain County after all"
"Could it be that Liu Junshou is from Snow Mountain County! My internal strength has recovered halfway, how is Lao Qi's injury!"
"It's much better, although the injury is serious, but with the help of pills, I will definitely recover in half a year!"
"At the beginning, Liu Junshou deliberately left a legacy of bandits in the mountains of this Chongluan County, but he didn't expect that after so long, these bandits would be uncontrollable, and they would be so unbearable, and he would definitely not be able to go further!"
"But according to the eldest brother's orders, one of our seven brothers died, although he was killed by that Xiao Zheng, but after all, it was because of Liu Junshou's fault, and these two people are not people we can rely on!"
"That's right, and that Xiao Zheng is only just getting the crown, and he can't even suppress me, and it's not someone we can afford to mess with!" Li Yunfeng looked at the direction of the hill where the Yun family was located with some sighs, and couldn't help but say: "The Li family is settled, if there is a big blood change, at least half of the people can be placed in within five years, although it has nothing to do with our grandmaster, but it shows the attitude of the Li family, who do we think we will take refuge in at that time!"
"Big brother is right, now that there are many forces today, even if the three empires can't tolerate us, it's a big deal to find a mountain to start a sect!"
"Okay, let's recuperate in the next few days, and then go back to Xueshan County to find Liu Junshou to report, it is estimated that the bandits who are responsible for blocking will not help!"
"Big brother, have a good rest, a few of us will go down!" (To be continued)
