Xiao Qin looked at the secret letter in her hand, her face was pale, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Gu Yue'er poured him a cup of tea: "Brother Qin, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Qin glanced at her helplessly, why did she say "again"? Is it because I've been worrying too much lately, often in this state?

"Lin Xi is dead, Qingzhou is finished. I have worked hard for many years, and I chose Huang Guang as a waste, so that Lin Xi could control the situation in Qingzhou step by step, and use it as the base camp for future incidents, and that's it! ”

Gu Yue'er was relieved: "The court is corrupt, and the people everywhere are dissatisfied, and it is the same wherever things happen."

Although Qingzhou is large, what Lin Xi can control is only the defenders of Fucheng, only a few hundred people. The real army is under the jurisdiction of various guards and admirals, why do you have to be so obsessed with Qingzhou, Brother Qin. ”

Xiao Qin sighed: "It's different, Qingzhou is the place where Tang Sai'er started the incident back then, and the world knows that Tang Sai'er's incident is a righteous move." If something happens here, it will naturally be perceived as a righteous teacher!

What's more, Qingzhou is on the edge of Beizhili, and the righteous flag will be raised, and it will be possible to hit the capital in seven days at the earliest! Most of the Holy Sect's forces are now in the south, and it is so difficult to reach the capital little by little.

If the two sides start up at the same time, even if the capital is not restrained, it can echo in the north and south, occupy a place in the north of the river, and even if the river is ruled in the future, it is also an advantage in me.

It's hateful that Lin Xi didn't listen to me and acted rashly, which led to this defeat and ruined my years of hard work. If he can wait a few days, wait for me to mobilize the sect members in other regions to take joint action, plus the Japanese of the Luo Wenlong Tribe, then this matter can be done! ”

Gu Yue'er thought about the ins and outs of this matter, and felt that Lin Xi couldn't be blamed entirely, mainly because Xiao Feng was too hateful.

"Brother Qin, even if Lin Xi doesn't do it, it is said that Xiao Feng also sent someone to inquire about the news in Qingzhou. I have long said that the Holy Sect's missionary method in Qingzhou is so intense that it is difficult not to be noticed.

Probably Lin Xi also felt that it was difficult to hide it after a long time, and he was worried that he would not even have a chance to do it then, so he took a risk. ”

Xiao Qin heard from Gu Yue'er's tone that she was dissatisfied with what Lin Xi had done in Qingzhou, and he smiled helplessly and patted Gu Yue'er on the shoulder.

"Yue'er, how could I be willing to let Lin Xi preach by that means? It's just that the people of the world are ignorant and stubborn, ungrateful and bloodless, and the imperial court's suppression of the Holy Religion is becoming more and more severe.

If we only rely on the practice of medicine and the delivery of food, I don't know when we will be able to carry forward the Holy Religion. Coercing the people to join the Church, like contacting the Japanese Bandits, is a desperate move and an extraordinary means.

After the victory of the Holy Religion uprising, it is natural that more compensation will be given to the people. Those who have achieved great things should not be informal, and they should not be too rigid about right and wrong in extraordinary times, otherwise they will be equal to the current enemy and tie their arms. ”

Gu Yue'er could never twist this bend in her heart, but she admired Xiao Qin to the extreme, so she could only bow her head and remain silent. Xiao Qin glanced at the secret letter again, calmed down, and took a sip of tea.

Xiao Feng not only killed Lin Xi and rectified Qingzhou, but also gathered literati and writers with a lot of money, and asked them to write scripts and scripts that slandered the Holy Religion and spread them all over the world.

is worthy of the Xiao family, if he is willing to walk side by side with me, who can match him in this world? It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Gu Yue'er said: "This person is such a threat to the Holy Sect, sooner or later he will have to be killed." But Qingzhou has not been able to get such an advantageous place, how should we act? ”

Xiao Qin put down the teacup and paced two steps: "Xiao Feng is very alert and cunning, he travels all the way, constantly changing routes.

After all, there is a time delay in communication between the congregants and me, and it is difficult for me to set up an ambush in advance, so I can only hope that he will stay in one place for a little longer.

But when he arrived at Yingtianfu in Nanjing, such a big city, with many garrisons and heavy guards, he just stayed for a year, and I couldn't help him.

Only when he arrives in the coastal town, drag him with the Japanese bandits, and then mobilize the congregation to surround him, and if necessary, I will go and meet him myself! ”

Gu Yue'er looked at a map spread out on the table, although the map at this time was slightly rougher than that of later generations, and the proportions were not very accurate, but the large states and mansions within the Great Wall were still marked on it relatively accurately.

"Brother Qin, Xiao Feng didn't even go to Jinan Mansion, he went directly to Qingzhou, is this going straight to the coastal area of Shandong, and fight the Japanese first?"

Xiao Qin also looked at the map, nodded, and said with certainty: "When he arrives in Qingzhou, he will definitely go to Dengzhouwei next."

It is the most combat-ready of the nearby guards, and it is also the closest to the coast. Inform Luo Wenlong and ask him to send someone to Bendenzhou by sea.

His lair is in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it will take a while to reach Dengzhou by sea, and when he arrives, Xiao Feng should also arrive, and inform us to assemble the cultists near Dengzhou! ”

At this time, Xiao Feng's team was galloping on the road, Yu Dayou was running back and forth, taking care of the whole team, Xiao Feng and An Qingyue were riding side by side next to the princess's RV.

"Brother Xiao, didn't you say you were going to Dengzhou before, why did you change the route to Yanzhou?"

Xiao Feng glanced at An Qingyue: "You have become polite now, you used to be Xiao Feng, and now you are also called Brother Xiao?" ”

An Qingyue blushed: "Don't be ignorant, it was Senior Brother who asked me to be polite to you, saying that I am your brother and sister, so be careful." ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "The White Lotus Sect has sect members all over the country, not to mention that Yan Shifan is also colluding with the White Lotus Sect, it is impossible to keep our whereabouts completely secret."

But we can beat the time difference, no matter how fast their communication is, it is nothing more than pigeons, and it is difficult to say whether there are so many pigeons.

If I make a pose and make a feint, they will have to communicate with each other, but the speed of their communication will not be as fast as the speed at which I can say and go.

That's why I don't take the waterway, the waterway is difficult to change, and I can't get to the shore until I get to the wharf.

Sometimes whether a battle can be won or not, the strength accounts for only half, and the information gap accounts for half, which is the role of Jinyi Weiyang secret agents. ”

An Qingyue pouted unconvinced: "You can change the route, people can also follow you, it should be easy to track your team, you can't fake all day long, right?" ”

Xiao Feng stiffened his face: "It's really being followed, and I haven't found it, I'm going to hit an unintentional board!" What does he eat after the break? Don't even know if you're being followed?

Although we have a good relationship, I'm not a person who abides for personal reasons, and I'm going to open his ass and let him get married on his stomach! ”

An Qingyue glared angrily, but she didn't know what to say to refute. The weak voice of Princess Chang'an came from the car.

"Sister An, don't be afraid, I've read in the book, men are not afraid of spanking, and they can get married on their stomachs......"

Yanzhou Mansion is mainly Linyi, Jining, Zaozhuang and the surrounding areas in today's Shandong. Linyi and Zaozhuang were named Langya County in ancient times.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Langya County was officially renamed Linyi, but the people of the Ming Dynasty still called it Langya, and Zaozhuang was called Zaozhuang, and it has always been called Zaozhuang.

Many of Xiao Feng's friends in later generations thought that Zaozhuang was called Lanling in ancient times, but in fact, Lanling was within the range of Linyi and had little to do with Zaozhuang.

The history of the name Zaozhuang is actually much earlier than people think, and its name is said to be the first people who live in the local area to find that there are more jujube trees in this place, so after a discussion, it is called Zaozhuang!

Many of the Chinese's extremely casual and nature-respecting naming habits have been retained to the present. For example, the big elm tree in Jilin, the Panzhihua in Sichuan, and the ubiquitous backer mountain......

At this time, Xiao Feng and his entourage came to the backer of Zaozhuang in Yanzhou Mansion. It stands to reason that the place called Gushantun is most likely not qualified to be close to the official road, but the Zaozhuang area is an exception.

Because Zaozhuang is rich in coal, and the areas north of Shandong will need a lot of coal in autumn and winter.

Although there is coal in the vicinity of the capital, there are very few places that can be excavated due to feng shui problems. At this time, the Northeast region was still the territory of the Jurchens, and there was no mining, so Zaozhuang was naturally very important.

Gushantun is a large coal kiln, not only digging coal, but also burning charcoal, so the official road deliberately divides a branch road to pass through here to facilitate the transportation of coal.

Xiao Feng's carriage and horses were walking on this official road branch road at this time, raising a cloud of smoke and dust, and not far from the roadside, a group of miners who were resting and eating raised their heads to look at the passing team.

Because of their proximity to the official road, these miners were also well-informed, with more than 300 cavalrymen, all with bright armor and several carriages.

One of them is also very large and luxurious, and at a glance you can tell that it is not an ordinary passing official.

A miner suddenly threw down the black-flour bun and pickle strips in his hand, jumped up and ran towards the official road desperately, hissing and yelling as he ran.

"Lord Qingtian, you are wronged! Wronged! ”

The other miners were stunned and watched stupidly as the miner raced through the dirt and coal, while several overseers, who were drinking and chatting nearby, quickly jumped up and pounced on him, trying to prevent him from approaching the official road.

At this time, under the shouts of the overseers, several miners who were close to the official road also stood up to block the route of the rushing miner, even more active than the overseers.

The miner had no way out, and there were pursuers behind him, and after a scuffle, he was pinned to the ground, and in despair watched the procession that was about to pass.

Yu Dayou looked at Xiao Feng, there must be two hundred miners for eating, and there are many mines nearby, no one knows if there are people hiding in them, if the enemy is ambushing here, it must not be guarded against.

Xiao Feng said lightly: "I tested the princess in the morning, and she should be in no danger for the next two days." As long as she's okay, can we still be afraid of these people? Stop and take a look. ”

With an order, the procession stopped on the official road, and Yu Dayou came to the side of the road, where the miner was pressed to the ground and the overseer was stuffing coal cores into his mouth.

"Let him go and let him come!"

The Overseer looked up, a hint of panic in his eyes, but he smiled and saluted.

"General, these miners work underground all year round, and these days are cloudy, and the sun is rare, and it is not uncommon for them to go crazy occasionally.

Disturbing the general is really a crime that deserves death. Don't dare to delay the general's trip, the villain and others should handle it properly! ”

Yu Dayou walked the rivers and lakes in his early years, saw and heard a lot, and knew that what the overseer said was not unreasonable, so he whispered to Xiao Fengdao.

"Master, there are indeed a lot of crazy things in the mine, and the people call them black madmen, who don't see the sun all year round, and they are in a narrow place, and there are many such things."

Xiao Feng nodded, he knew that this was actually a type of claustrophobia, but since the stop had stopped, he still planned to figure it out.

"Is it a madman, just ask a few words, what can you do, bring him over!"

The miners looked at the overseers, and the overseers looked at the boss of the overseers in the black hat. The overseer hesitated, but waved his hand and motioned for release.

The miner, who had been pressed down, got up, spat out the coal core in his mouth, and cried and climbed up the official road, and fell to his knees.

"General, lord, wronged!"

Xiao Feng jumped off the horse and approached the miner, and the curtain of the carriage behind him also opened a crack, and he looked out curiously.

Yu Dayou was engrossed on guard, although he saw that this miner should not know kung fu, but the rivers and lakes are so big, there are many capable people, who can guarantee that he will not look away?

What's more, people who don't have kung fu are not absolutely incapable of killing, Shuzhong Tangmen has studied a lot of hidden weapons driven by the power of machine expansion, and the user can have an accurate head, no internal force is required.

Not to mention the musket, if it weren't for the long cast point that it fired, it would be much more powerful than any hidden weapon. Now in an extraordinary period, this miner dares to raise his hand, and Yu Dayou must kick him away first.

The miner also felt Yu Dayou's coercion, and pressed his hands firmly on the ground, just kowtowing desperately.

"What's your name, do you know what team this is? If you have grievances, why don't you go to the government to complain, but block the road to complain? ”

When the miner looked up, he was already in tears, and the soot on his face seemed to have penetrated deep into his flesh, and he could not even wash away the tears.

"Big man, the villain's name is Han Chang, a native of Hanjia Village, Jining. Because he is ranked third in the family, he is called the villain Han San'er in the mine.

The villain didn't want to go to the government to complain, but the villain couldn't even escape from this mining area! My lord, just to get in the way, we have two brothers dead! ”

Xiao Feng was silent for a moment: "The ins and outs, tell me carefully." ”

"My lord, the coal mine here was dug five years ago. In the beginning, there were not many people, and the miners were mainly local people who relied on the mountains.

Later, the coal mine became bigger and bigger, and the official road was also built here, and there were more and more miners from outside, and the number of supervisors also increased. My fellow villagers and I were recruited to mine together the year before last.

Near Zaozhuang, many families rely on the coal mine to survive, although the work in the mine is hard, but the income is okay, can support the family, there are many men in the family, and they can save some money.

The villains and their fellow villagers work hard, but the wages they get are often deducted by the supervisors, and these villains can bear it. Knowing that the world is as black as a crow, it is inevitable that this kind of thing will happen in any mine.

The shed was built on the edge of the hill, and the miners returned to sleep after work. The migrant miners with their families will rent a house in the village.

There is a Han boss in the same village, who is the most capable of going to the mine in our group. He took his newlywed wife to Gushantun and rented a house, he worked in the mine, and his wife usually took on some pulp washing and sewing work.

The villain usually lives in the shed, but Boss Han always brings the dirty clothes of the same villagers home and helps us wash and mend them for free, and we are very close to Boss Han.

Half a year ago, a new well was opened, because when I first started digging a well, I was afraid that I would dig the wrong place in vain, so I would dig a path first, and only then would I expand the excavation when I saw coal.

But digging this kind of trail, there are too many people to make it hard, and it is generally a person to dig, which is extremely hard. Unlike the lanes that were completed later, the trail is not supported by wooden frames, and it is also easy to collapse, which is extremely dangerous.

Because it's hard and dangerous, no one wants to do it, and it's true that not everyone can do it. The overseer ordered Boss Han to dig up, promising to give more money, and if he didn't go, he would beat him and drive him away.

Boss Han had no choice but to obey his fate, we were all digging coal in the big mine here, and Boss Han was digging a path to a new well far away alone.

Who knows, in the evening, the overseer suddenly came to tell us that the path collapsed and Boss Han was buried inside! ”
