Ah Niu gives people the feeling of being simple, he has a blank face, and he doesn't look like a clever person.

It was Ah Niu's reaction that made Shopkeeper Liu put his mind at ease, looked at the stunned Ah Niu, and then looked at the filial piety cloth on his shoes, this custom really exists.

"Good boy, it's rare to have this filial piety, it's rare."

As he spoke, he took out a small ingot of silver from his sleeve, about two taels, and stuffed it directly to Ah Niu.

"Buy more paper for your mother, and marry a daughter-in-law in the future to live a good life." After saying that, he turned around and left with someone.

Looking at the back of the shopkeeper Liu, Li Zheng pulled a handful of Ah Niu, who was still stunned, and opened his mouth to admonish.

"Seeing that your filial piety is rare, let's go today, anyway, there are not a few times, but you still have to wear thicker clothes, don't freeze."

The two had already walked to the front of the cowshed, and Li Zheng suddenly whispered.

"Ah Niu, when it gets dark, run from the path on the side of the ancestral tomb to Jijiazhuang to report the news, remember not to look back."

This kid has a tendon, and Li Zheng doesn't say much, but he knows that as long as this kid is asked to do something, he can.

Li Aniu was a little stunned, and he was also a tendon, but he was not stupid, he probably understood what Li Zheng meant, after all, he also went to Jijiazhuang a few years ago to report the news, and he especially knew the stakes.

Ah Niu tied up the ox, went back to the hut on the side, took a little dry food, and went to the graveyard with the quilt and thick clothes.

These businessmen are really fake, they are just the smiling tiger and his gang pretending, they are not short of food at all, they just want to find a place to rest.

Of the three big ships, one of the people and the pretended guys had more than forty people, and the other two ships were not loaded with any cargo at all, and the whole three hundred people were hidden in the cabin.

There are more than 150 people, and the weight is just more than 10,000 catties, which is really similar to the goods.

It's just that these people can come out at night, and it's really stuffy during the day, so they can't come out to breathe, and they were discovered by Ah Niu by chance.

The real target of these people is Jijiazhuang, they are going to go to Jijiazhuang after nightfall tonight, and it is best to dispatch at the right time, and they can rush back that night.

The reason why they didn't do anything to Lijiazhuang was for fear that there would be an accident and leak the news, Jijiazhuang was still too close, and once they were prepared, it would be difficult to win by surprise.

The smiling tiger was sitting in the cabin and resting, and he also hoped that Xu Dajia and Pig Tousan could start early tonight, so that no matter where they were, Jijiazhuang couldn't count on it.

"Boss, it's okay, let's go and see, that kid really went to accompany his mother, that grave is indeed new. You see if we're going to do him now," a subordinate walked in.

"Forget it, it's important to get down to business, after all, we're not really bandits, and we can't do those beast things."

"But you must watch, no one can leave the Zhuangzi, and pay special attention to these ships, to make sure that we can go back quickly, and tell you again, as long as there is no movement in the Zhuangzi, you are not allowed to fool around, otherwise, you will have your head."

Afterwards, the smiling tiger regretted this, and he relented for a while and gave up all his efforts. He really didn't expect that such a fool would turn the good situation on the side and let his people be buried in Jijiazhuang.

Half an hour later, Ah Niu wrapped his thick clothes in the quilt and threw them in front of the grave, and quietly ran out of Zhuangzi from the path behind the ancestral grave. After looking at the direction, Ah Niu ran straight to the direction of Jijiazhuang.

Ten miles away, Ah Niu was a strong young man who was used to running on mountain roads, and for most of the hour, Ah Niu ran to Jijiazhuang out of breath.

He was very familiar with Yuan Rui's home, and when he came to Yuan Rui's door, he didn't delay at all, and knocked on the door vigorously.

Now Yuan Rui's house is not like before, there are dozens of family members living in the front yard, all of whom were brought by the county lord.

As soon as a family member opened the door, before he could ask who it was, he saw Ah Niu rushing in and shouting that the bandits were coming.

One of the stewards who was pacing in the courtyard didn't even finish listening, and turned and went straight to the backyard.

"Childe, a young man ran to the door and said that there were pirates coming."

This steward does understand the rules, although it was a person brought by the county lord, he did not go directly to the county lord to tell the county lord, and when he went to the study in the backyard, he explained the matter through the door.

Yuan Rui was reading a book, and still didn't have the habit of going to bed early, and when he heard this, he immediately opened the door and gave direct orders while walking to the front yard.

"Quickly notify the county lord and all the personnel to be on guard, find someone to tell the patriarch, call everyone up, don't tell me, don't be chaotic, don't make noise, and then find someone to go to Tonghai County to report the news."

The steward didn't react at first, he was already very experienced in adaptation, and he didn't ask in detail, so he hurried to report first.

Okay, Childe is even worse, he didn't ask anything, and he didn't care if it was true or not, he just started arranging the arrangement, is this still a person!

How did he know that after fighting against the pirates last time, Yuan Rui had experience, at this time, no matter who came to report the news, it was definitely not to fool himself, there must be such a thing, the time was urgent, so he could only make arrangements first.

Ah Niu just drank some water, and now it has eased a lot, and when he saw Yuan Rui coming in, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, just now when he was resting, he heard the family next to him say that Yuan Xianggong has become a big official, which is different.

"Ah Niu, get up, get up, don't kneel," Yuan Rui saw Ah Niu and immediately understood.

"Xianggong, if you want to knock, they all say that you are a big official, it's different."

"It doesn't matter, we are neighbors, don't be so polite, come, sit down and talk about it."

"Childe, there are some people in our Zhuangzi, there are two boats full of people in the river, they look at us and don't let us go out, Uncle Xizi said, let me come to you quickly and save our Zhuangzi people." Ah Niu thought of what to say.

This is also Yuan Rui, if you change someone, you must be full of bags, for example, a few family members on the side are confused.

Ah Niu had just finished speaking, and at this time, the county lord hurried over from the backyard with an anxious look.

"County Lord, it's okay, there should be a group of pirates who sneaked to Xiaolizhuang, there are hundreds of them, they may come to our side, or they may go to the county seat, we have to be prepared."

After appeasing Ah Niu, Yuan Rui pulled the county lord outside the house.

"County Lord, the most important thing for us now is to arrange the elderly, women and children, we can't prevent hundreds of pirates, these people are too dangerous in the village."

Yuan Rui stood outside the courtyard gate and had already seen the people in Zhuangzi start to move.

After a while, Yuan Rui saw the eldest brother, the fifth uncle, and several uncles and uncles walking briskly towards this side.

didn't have time to be too polite, Yuan Rui directly said his thoughts.

"Uncles and uncles, it has been determined that the bandits are coming, the time is urgent, we don't have time to do too much precautions, so we can only transfer some old and young people out first."

"However, if you don't know where to move for a while, you will be done if you encounter pirates on the road."

"yes, yes!"

"The pirates will definitely come, or we will all hide in the ancestral hall!"

Several people started talking at once......

"All right, be quiet, listen to the Western dialect," shouted an older uncle in the family.

"Where is it safe, where to go, the other party is in Xiaolizhuang, if you come here, you should go by land, then the water is relatively safe."

Yuan Rui was pacing and talking to himself, and when he saw Ji He in front of the door, he suddenly had an idea.

"Uncles and uncles, the time is too urgent to explain anything to you, quickly go and bring those old and young people over, to the boat, the five big boats by the river, squeeze it, it should be possible."

Yuan Rui looked at Ji He, and suddenly remembered that the pirates were hiding on the boat, and he could also use the boat to transfer these old and young out.

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood what Yuan Rui meant, and quickly called someone to go.

There are 200 young Zhuang Ding in the Zhuangzi who are always available, and they are usually helping their families as the guardians of the village.

"Remember, you can't bring any luggage, you don't want those things, or you'll die." Yuan Rui is still not at ease.

"County Lord, you also have to hide on the boat," Yuan Rui turned to the County Lord who had been listening to the side.

The county lord smiled, ignored Yuan Rui, and turned back to the house.

"It's just a few hundred pirates, it's not like you haven't seen them, why are you so worried," the county lord laughed at Yuan Rui as he walked.

"Last time, it was the second prince who barely carried the pirates with more than 100 guards and more than 200 officers and soldiers, and the final extermination of the pirates was also thanks to the arrival of the guards, otherwise, those pirates would have run away long ago."

"County Lord, there are only a few dozen of us now, do you want to use these dozens of people to defeat the pirates?"

"County Lord, do you know, why the bandits along the entire coast are inexhaustible, these people don't want to fight for their lives, they run very fast, and they can't find out where they hide at all."

"Why didn't I find out, you're so verbose now, shouldn't you be thinking about how to defend yourself!"

The county lord suddenly turned around and asked Yuan Rui, with a look of ridicule on his face.

"Well, well, cough ......" Yuan Rui hesitated for a while, this time is indeed too familiar!

Looking at the six or seven personal soldiers brought by the county lord, Yuan Rui knew that he really had to plan well.

"You have all experienced the battlefield, I won't say much else, except for the more than 1,000 people who were transferred, I left more than 200 people in Qingzhuang Zhuangding, plus the more than 50 people brought by the county lord, which is all our manpower this time."

Yuan Rui led everyone around the stone platform in the middle of the front yard, explaining the floor plan of Jijiazhuang.

"Now that we are short of manpower, we don't guard the polder wall, all the people are gathered here in the ancestral hall, I guess if they run this way, it will be there in an hour at most."

"The whole ancestral hall is a square, and ten family members are arranged to defend it with fifty Zhuang Ding in one direction, and the gate is blocked by ox carts, because there is only this opening, and they can't enter other places."

Yuan Rui still has an understanding of the bandits, and the arrangement is appropriate, and the situation is controllable.
