Chapter 54: Advice
In a moment, Ye Ying made a decision, if he ran now, the chance of escaping was very small, and he might not necessarily implicate Zhao Hu and Gander who were hiding outside the cottage, so Ye Ying decided to gamble, and he lay on the spot and did not move.
It turned out that Ye Ying's choice was correct, Kuang Zhaolei looked up at the roof, but he didn't find any movement, and finally chose to give up after hesitating for a long time.
"The location of our cottage is so hidden, and there are many open posts and secret posts, no one should come in." Chen Tianshun's words completely relieved Kuang Zhaolei.
"I just heard a slight noise, it seems that I heard it wrong, and our brother continued to drink." Hearing Chen Tianshun's words, Kwong Zhaolei finally withdrew his gaze and focused on the wine bowl on the table.
With the episode just now, Ye Ying was much more cautious, he continued to lie there motionless, and even turned his breath to the lowest.
The gong of the third watch sounded in the night, and the two people below finally ended, and as the figures of the two people disappeared into the room, Ye Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief. If it hadn't been for this just right rain, maybe he would have been in Yunzezhai's cell at this time!
After lying on the roof for a while, and making sure that the two of them had left, Ye Ying slid off the roof and quietly left Yunze Village, finding Zhao Hu and Gande who had been waiting outside the village.
At this time, there was still a period of time before dawn, and although the rain was much lighter, it had not completely stopped, but these could not stop the three Ye Ying who were in a hurry, and they had to send the information here back to the barracks as soon as possible.
Under the cover of the darkness and the sound of the rain, the three of them left Yunze Village smoothly, found the small fishing boat in the reeds in the lake, and followed the road to the lake.
The boat moved quickly on the lake, everyone had nothing to do, so they started chatting, Ye Ying had something on his mind, Zhao Hu didn't like to talk by nature, and Gande, who was in a good mood, became the main speaker.
"Boss, it's really thrilling to follow you to this Yunze Village this time, it's interesting to live like this." Gander said excitedly as he rowed.
"Boss, I used to live a hard life at home, and I was often bullied by rich people in the neighborhood, and this time in the barracks was the happiest time I lived." Seeing that Ye Ying and Zhao Hu didn't talk much? He continued.
From the small talk of Gander all the way, Ye Ying and Zhao Hu basically understood his situation, and couldn't help but feel that life was unfair to this hard-working young man, which made him suffer too much.
Born into a family of sharecroppers, Gander was the eldest of a younger brother and a younger sister. The landlord's family was mean by nature, and the Gander family worked hard for a year, and most of the income went to the landlord, and the family had a hard time even filling their stomachs.
In this case, my mother had to go to the landlord's house as a servant, and not only was she often beaten, but even the three Gander siblings were not bullied since they were young.
Such a family situation made Gander particularly eager to become strong, so when he became an adult, he went to the military camp without telling his parents. Because he was eager to make some powerful friends, he chose to recognize the kind-hearted Qi Jiao who bullied him at the beginning as the boss.
Later, following Ye Ying and others, I saw that these people were both capable and righteous, and they did not dislike themselves, which made Gander completely integrate into this group. He knew that his kung fu was not good enough, but he didn't want everyone to think that he was a useless person, so he rushed to do everything.
"Sugarcane, in fact, I have long regarded you and Lao Qi as brothers like door bolts and tigers, you can rest assured, as long as our brothers have one heart, they will definitely break out in this world, and your family will never be bullied again." After listening to Gander's narration, Ye Ying recognized this man with a true temperament even more.
"As long as the boss doesn't dislike it, I will follow the boss in this life, and even if I die, I won't even frown." Gander was obviously very excited at this time, but his words were stopped by Ye Ying and Zhao Hu.
"We still have to follow the boss to do big things, but we can't die so early." Zhao Hu said very little, but he was a man of his word.
The three young people kept communicating while rowing, but the distance between their hearts and minds was getting closer and closer.
And at this time, in the recruit camp, the deputy commander Sima Chi found the commander Cao Zhen again, and wanted to persuade him to punish Ye Ying and others who left the team without permission, which was the third consecutive day he had done this.
"Commander, your subordinates know that you cherish your talents, but this kid regards your appreciation as the capital of arrogance, and this wind can't last." Sima Chi found Cao Zhen and said "bitterly".
Sima Chi had a headache for Cao Zhen, the commander of this battalion, and he wanted to win him over to join the Sima family's camp, but this guy never agreed. He wanted to dispose of Ye Ying for the family, but Cao Zhen never agreed, leaving him with no choice but to deal with this stinky and hard guy.
"Brother Sima, don't you see that Ye Xiaozi asked someone to send a letter back, saying that he wanted to investigate the situation in Yunzezhai?" Listening to Sima Chi's words, Cao Zhen said with some unhappiness that he had rejected him three times in a row, but he still didn't give up.
"My lord, you also believe in this kind of child's method, you let Ye Ying protect Lord Lu, he is good, let Lord Lu lose a lot of property, and his family members were also killed and injured many people, even Lord Lu almost lost his life. I think Ye Ying just didn't want to take responsibility, so he deliberately made an excuse to run away. The subordinates are for the sake of adults, and if he really absconds in fear of crime, you will also be implicated. Sima Chi said again.
"I believe in Aiba Taka, he's not such a person." Cao Zhen was already very impatient, if it weren't for the Sima family, he would have kicked this difficult guy out a long time ago.
"Alas, the subordinates are worried about the ...... adults"
"My lord, Ye Ying is back!" Before Sima Chi's words were finished, another person hurriedly walked into the camp, it was Xu Qiang, the recruit battalion, who was also Ye Ying's top boss.
"Who did you say came back?" Hearing Xu Qiang's words, Sima Chi's eyes widened.
"Lord Sima, it's my subordinate Ye Ying who has returned, and I heard that he has brought back good news." Seeing Sima Chi ask, Xu Qiang said with a smile again.
"Let him come over!" Hearing the news, Cao Zhen suddenly came to his senses.
It didn't take too long, Ye Ying took Zhao Hu and Gan De, only to see the three of them looking like dusty and dusty, tired and still hanging on their faces, but they were full of smiles.
"Your kid is finally back, and adults and I can finally rest assured." Seeing Ye Ying, Sima Chi's face showed the signature harmless smile of humans and animals again.
"My lord, we have found the specific location of Yunze Village, the waterway by the lake, the path into the mountain are clear, and we have also walked into the village." As soon as he saw the people in the tent, Ye Ying said happily.
"Tell me what's going on?" Seeing that Ye Ying finally came back and brought news that seemed to be very useful, Cao Zhen was very happy in his heart, but he still had a straight face.
"Gander, come on!" Ye Ying suddenly turned his head and said to Gander beside him, hoping that he could take this opportunity to leave a good impression on the commander.
In this way, under Gander's narration, Ye Ying made some additions from time to time, and explained the ins and outs of this matter clearly.
"My lord, this is a small topographic map of Zeyun Village, although it is not a special standard, but it is generally like this, on the path leading to the cottage, we have also made simple road signs." Ye Ying said as he handed the sketch he had drawn on the way back to Cao Zhen.
After Cao Zhen finished reading it, he didn't show his face, and handed it to Sima Chi on the side.
"I'd like to hear it, if we attack Zeyun Village, what do you suggest?" After Sima Chi finished reading the sketch, Cao Zhen turned his head to Ye Ying and asked.
"Adults, small ones think that our mad lion army has failed to attack Zeyun Village many times, and there are three main reasons: first, because the terrain of Zeyun Village is very complicated, and we have suffered losses from unfamiliar terrain and waterways; The second is that this Zeyun Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to attack, whether it can succeed or not, the key is to pay a great price; The third is because the rear of Zeyun Village is a large mountainous area, and once the war is unfavorable, they will hide in the mountains, and we will not be able to find their hiding place at all. I have this suggestion for these aspects......"
Hearing Ye Ying's analysis little by little, Cao Zhen, who had a stern face, did not speak, but looked at Ye Ying with a lot of approval.
"My lord, Xiao Ye's analysis is very reasonable, I think we can make a battle plan based on his plan, let Xiao Ye Li Chang lead his subordinates to be the vanguard, and his subordinates will lead two teams of soldiers to follow, this time we must destroy Zeyun Village and avenge the revenge of being teased a few days ago." The deputy commander made Sima Chihuo stand up and said categorically.
Sima Chi's words were obviously beyond Cao Zhen's expectations, he looked at Cao Zhen thoughtfully, and said after a long groan.
"I'll take it myself this time! When I was in command, I was in the big battalion, and I was not worried that there were no reliable people in the battalion. ”
"My lord, I ......" Listening to Cao Zhen's words, Sima Chi was stunned for a moment, and originally wanted to fight again, but seeing Cao Zhen's firm eyes, Sima Chi, who was familiar with Cao Zhen's personality, had no choice but to give up.
"That's good, the adults can rest assured that they will lead the troops to exterminate the bandits, and the small ones must be optimistic about this family." Sima Chi patted his chest and said.
After explaining to Cao Zhen, Ye Ying had the opportunity to return to the camp and learn about the situation that day with Qi Jiao, Shan Fu and others.
It turned out that Ye Ying disguised himself as Lu Tianzhao that day, shuttling back and forth in the mountains and forests, and indeed attracted a large number of bandits as he wished, and the pressure on the rest of the people was much less.
But there is still a little regret, the brothers in the new barracks are killed and injured, although they know that they will die in battle, but think about the brothers who were still alive and kicking before, but now they are separated by yin and yang, and everyone is very sad.
And Lu Tianzhao's losses were much greater, more than a dozen family soldiers died, and more importantly, some valuables were taken away by bandits, which made him very angry, and he also had a lot of complaints about the soldiers.
However, Lu Tianzhao's life was finally saved, and after returning to the barracks, he didn't say anything, of course, there must be no credit.
"Lao Tzu doesn't think this old guy is a good person, if he doesn't have to carry out the task, I wish he would let the bandits kill him." Speaking of this, Qi Jiao felt indignant, and Shan Fu also echoed on the side.
"Lao Qi, you open your mouth, be careful that one day it will come from your mouth." Although Ye Ying felt that what Qi Jiao said was reasonable, he hurriedly stopped him.
Although the separation was only a few days, everyone was very happy, it seemed that there was endless words, Ye Ying enjoyed this feeling very much, he felt that the robe should be like this.
The soldiers in the new barracks also knew the news that they were going to conquer Yunze Village, and the whole battalion began to prepare quickly, sharpening their knives one by one, preparing to do a big job in the battle against bandits.
