The next day, Wang Dashan and the others finally returned.

But with bad news, the Daqian team took down two cities along the way and was coming this way.

"There are about 10,000 of them, and they are still five or six days away from us, but the cavalry can reach them in two or three days." Wang Dashan drank saliva and said: "The Qianjun is also strange, they didn't go to other places, it seems to go straight to our side." ”

Jiang Saburo said: "I guess I want to join the rebels of King Cheng." ”

"How good is that?" Patriarch Chen said with a worried face: "The wheat in our field has not been confiscated." ”

Jiang Laohan took a sip of dry tobacco pouch and sighed leisurely: "Maybe those people just want our food." ”

10,000 people are dispatched, and no less than 8,000 catties of food are consumed every day, can they not rob the people along the way?

Maybe you have to catch strong men and die for them.

Patriarch Chen was even more anxious: "Then what can we wait for?" Hurry up and take someone away. ”

Jiang Saburo shook his head, "Where are you going?" Now there is a war on all sides, and it is not safe anywhere. ”

"Alas!" Jiang Laohan sighed: "It would be good if our village was built like the county city wall, so that we could guard until the reinforcements came." ”

Yingbao, who had been standing on the side and listening for a long time, suddenly said, "Dad, I want to go to the county seat." ”

Jiang Saburo was stunned: "What are you going to do in the county seat?" ”

"Lieutenant Cao has malicious intentions towards us and must be eliminated." Sakura said expressionlessly.

Jiang Saburo immediately stood up, dragged his daughter outside, and said in a low voice: "What do you little doll say about not getting rid of it, it's an adult's business." ”

The girl is still a child, if she is considered a ruthless person, how will she find her in-laws in the future?

Ying Bao said seriously: "This matter must be cut through the mess quickly, Dad, don't worry, I will definitely be able to kill Cao Shen." ”

Before she didn't have a long knife, she might not be sure, but if she got the golden sickle of the divine soldier, let alone kill Cao Shen, even if she wiped out all of Cao's subordinates, she would no longer talk about it.

"As long as we take the county seat and close the city gate, the Daqian army will be helpless." Ying Bao said conclusively: "Moreover, Cao Shen has committed murder in the county, and the people of the county and some wealthy merchants must hate him to the bone. ”

Jiang Saburo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay!" But you can't do it alone, it's better to let Wang Dashan and Chen Zhu bring some people with you, and I'll go too, it's easy to act if there are many people. ”

"Dad, you can't go." Ying Bao refused: "You ask the villagers at home to quickly harvest the grain, only the ears of wheat, and then talk about the rest later, transport the grain and livestock to the depths of the North Mountain and hide them, and bring the old and weak with them, don't stay in the village." ”

The Qianjun army is not like a bandit, they are here to recover the territory of the city, and they must not have the leisure to go all over the mountains to find people, so the depths of the North Mountain are a good place to take refuge.

Jiang Saburo was still not at ease, but Sakura Bao insisted and let him stay in the village to settle the villagers.

In the end, Jiang Saburo had to agree to his daughter's suggestion.

Subsequently, Yingbao selected more than 20 people to go to the county seat with her.

More than 20 people, using three carriages and several mules and horses, rushed to the county seat overnight.

There was no one at the post station along the way, and the post guards and post men inside either fled or were killed by Cao Shen.

Mules and horses were also taken away by Cao Shen, and inside was the empty yard of the black hole.

More than 20 people rushed all night and finally arrived near the county seat in the early morning.

Sakura and the others did not step forward easily, but watched from the distant woods.

At this time, the gate of the county seat was closed, but there were people on the city tower who were guarding.

Chen Zhu: "It seems that they closed the city gate. ”

"How do you get in?" One asked.

Sakura said: "Take the waterway." ”

"Waterways? But we don't know how to run into water. And it's daytime, and there must be someone on the other side of the waterway. ”

Every county has a flowing water source, and Qinchuan County is no exception, and this river is also the lifeblood of the entire county.

"You stay here, and I'll go in by water." Sakura Bao was dressed in a black short, dressed as a young man, and his face was also painted with ash from the bottom of the pot by A-Niang, which looked very funny.

Chen Zhu twisted his eyebrows and looked at Ying Bao: "Are you alone?" ”

"Okay! If I succeed, I will wield my cloak as a trumpet. Sakura pulled out a red cloak out of nowhere, "That's it, when you see it, hurry to the city gate, and I'll think of opening the city gate." ”

She pulled out a white garment from her bag: "If I wave this, you will flee quickly, return to the village immediately, and lead the villagers into Beishan." ”

Chen Zhu and Wang Dashan were silent for a few moments, and finally nodded.

After Sakura finished explaining, she turned around and ran to the other side of the river.

Half an hour later she ran to the river, cut some willow branches, and weaved a scribbled robe and draped it over her body.

I cut a few more reeds and made a few tubes that could breathe in the water.

After that, he came to the city wall and quietly went into the water.

Sakura pinches her nose tightly with a clamp and holds a reed tube in her mouth as she slowly dives underwater.

It wasn't until she was far past the guards' patrol point that she emerged from the water.

Finding a no-man's land and climbing ashore, Sakura immediately entered the cave to rest for a while, and then changed into a boy's clothes and came out.

Grab a handful of dirt from the ground and smear it on her face, so that you can't tell that it is a girl, and then go to the market.

She wanted to inquire where that Cao Shen lived at night.

There were very few people on the streets of the county, and everyone was in a hurry.

There are also stalls selling goods, but all of them are trembling.

Sakura took out a copper coin and bought a piece of cake to eat, and bought a bamboo basket from a bamboo shop to carry on her arm.

He went back to the bread seller and bought all his pancakes.

Then she carried the bamboo basket and slowly walked towards the hook bar.

On the way, someone wanted to buy her baked cakes, so Sakura sold some, and finally came to the teahouse outside the Goolan and walked in to sell the baked cakes.

No one is talking today, and there are very few tea customers, but there are still a few good people whispering something.

Sakura leaned over and stood by eavesdropping.

"Last night, the silk shop on East Street was robbed, and the cloth in the shop was all removed, you say, could it be that the Yamen gang did it again?"

"Who knows, anyway, the world is chaotic, and good people don't live long and the scourge will last for a thousand years."

"But no, alas, I don't know when the imperial court will send troops, and if the city gate is closed day by day, sooner or later our people will be harmed by those people."

A few people drank tea, sighed for a while, and another said: "Recently, even Yihonglou's mother began to complain, saying that her young ladies let people give white tickets, and the dignified officials did not give the stage money, which is really unprecedented and unprecedented." ”

Another said: "What's so strange about this, not to mention Yihong Courtyard, it's the top performer of the dignified Dance Spring Courtyard, doesn't it give people a lot of fun?" It is said that tonight, Cao County's lieutenant feasted guests, and specially sent someone to inform the head of the Wuchun Courtyard to ask him to select a few dancing girls who were proficient in Hu Xuan Dance, saying that he was going to entertain a nobleman. ”

"Really?" One of them stretched out his neck and asked, "Where is he feasting?" Can we take a look? ”

The other person glanced at him: "Of course in the county government, it's such a time, can he feast in the teahouse restaurant?" ”
