Chang Yuan was fine, and the tense atmosphere at the scene returned to calm.

"Since it's a thank you gift, then I'll accept it, I guess Wen Cheng must be very happy if he sees it. Divide the rest of the altars with some of your brothers. ”

Ma Honglin bent down and thanked him, "General Xie." ”

"Alright, seeing that you look tired, go down and rest."

Ma Honglin's face was solemn, "General, we are in such a hurry to come back because we have something to report to you. After we escorted Brother Ning home, we took a shortcut on the way here, and when we passed by Taixi County, we smelled an abnormal smell of meat inside, which I felt like human flesh. Is there something going on inside? ”

Chang Yuan nodded, "There is indeed an accident inside, Hu Dadao connived at his subordinates to do mischief, extorted those merchants and families, and also arrested people's wives and daughters to the army. ”

"Then why didn't they leave?"

Wang Hanting took over, "The counties around Taizhou Mansion have fallen into our hands, Taixi County is surrounded on three sides, and Hu Dadao is afraid that he will be ambushed by us when he escapes." ”

Chang Yuan looked at Ma Honglin's eyes and looked tired, "You go back and rest and rest, in a few days, we will set off as a whole army and take Taixi County." ”

As long as they released the news that they were going to attack Taixi County in advance, Hu Dadao must know what to do.

……

"Are you done? Come and eat. ”

"Second uncle." Chang Wencheng saw Chang Yuan coming out and got up and said.

"Sit down." Chang Yuan held a jar of chili sauce in his hand.

"This is what Ning Changrong and they asked Hong Lin to send, Wen Cheng, can you see if it is the chili pepper you said?"

Chang Wencheng's eyes lit up, he took the jar in his hand and opened it, smelled the familiar spicy smell, and nodded, "Yes, this is the chili pepper!" ”

"Come, let's taste what this chili pepper tastes like as a family, if it can really ward off the cold in winter, it will be very useful."

"Whew." Chang Yuan scooped a little chili pepper and put it in a bowl and ate it with the vegetables, feeling that his whole stomach was hot, and his mouth seemed to be on fire.

It took him a long time before he spoke, "It seems that this chili pepper can indeed ward off the cold." I just took such a small bite, and I felt so hot that I was soaking wet. ”

Chang Wencheng has eaten it, but he is not so embarrassed, "Second uncle, if we can purchase some with Uncle Ning and send them to the north, the soldiers will not be so difficult in winter." ”

Chang Yuan picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach after eating this thing, I don't know if other people can adapt to it, let's try it here first." ”

Chang Wencheng knew that Chang Yuan had always acted cautiously, "Second uncle, you feel sick to your stomach because it is the first time you have eaten it, and you have eaten a little too much, you can try it again at night, and you will know that chili peppers are definitely a good thing." ”

Chang Yuan smiled: "You stinky boy, you don't remind me when you know that the second uncle has eaten too much, you sincerely want to see the second uncle's jokes, don't you?" ”

Chang Wencheng was amazed, "Second uncle, where do I have it?" I didn't have time to remind you that you ate it. Although he really wanted to see how the second uncle, who had always been calm, would react after eating chili peppers.

……

"Big brother! Chang Yuan is going to send someone to beat us! What should I do!? ”

"Yes, big brother, you have an idea! It's going to be messed up below! ”

"It's over, Chang Yuan is eyeing us, let's run quickly, if we are surrounded, we won't be able to run away."

"What are they running, why are they running? No matter how powerful Chang Yuan is, let's not run away without fighting, this will spread in the future, how can we be people?! ”

"Still human?! If you don't run, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to be a ghost! ”

In the Juyi Hall, a group of people were chattering, and the noisy Hu Dadao had a headache.

He slapped the table in front of him angrily, "What a noise!" It's useful to be noisy?! ”

After Hu Dadao roared, the scene was suddenly quiet and the needle could be heard.

He glared at the others to see who dared to speak freely.

Everyone else was silent and didn't dare to speak, and whoever dared to disobey Hu Dadao in the past few days was dragged out and cooked.

That is, the current enemy, they are too flustered to dare to be so presumptuous, forgetting that the big brother in front of them has changed.

"Don't make any noise, just listen to me."

Hu Dadao's face was gloomy, and his eyes were red, "Right now, we are surrounded on three sides, and if you want to run, there is only one way, Jiuwan Mountain." As long as we run to the mountains, Chang Yuan can't do anything about us, and he must just want the city when he attacks us, anyway, there is nothing left in this city, so let it be a big deal. ”

The gold, silver and jewels had been looted by them, and the food was gone, except for a group of hungry people like ghosts, and this was an empty city, just throwing this hot potato to the other party.

Someone raised his hand boldly, and only after Hu Dadao nodded did he dare to speak.

"Big brother, could this news be deliberately sent by Chang Yuan? You just want to force us out of the city on our own, and then guard us outside? ”

Hu Dadao's face became even more gloomy, "What you said is also very likely." We can only gamble. ”

If they continue to stay, they will definitely not be able to hold the city, and when the time comes, the city will be broken, and the result will be a dead end.

Go out and fight hard, maybe you can fight a way out.

Having made up their minds, the others spent a few days and began to collect the loot they had collected.

Fearing that the news would leak out, all the women in the barracks who had been taken captive were killed.

In addition to gold, silver and weapons, they brought only some prepared "dry rations".

Before leaving, Hu Dadao successively sent several groups of teams out to investigate the surrounding news, and after finding that no one was stopping them, he made up his mind to take a large army and quietly go out of the city at night.

Ning Changrong was asleep when someone suddenly came and knocked on the door.

"Big brother! Hurry up! Something happened! ”

Ning Changrong suddenly sobered up and opened the door with a yawn, "Second brother?" What's going on? Aren't you on guard outside? ”

Not only did they guard the entrance to the stream, but they also had people guarding the outside of the stream.

Ning Changrong also gave the telescope to the people who were guarding outside.

Today happened to be Ning Lao's turn.

"Oh no, big brother! I just saw that there seems to be a fire down there! I don't know what's going on! It's a mess down there, and there's shouts of killing everywhere! ”

Ning Changrong was awakened suddenly, and his sleepiness disappeared without a trace.

Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi, who came out when they heard the voice, had heavy eyes.

"Let's go out and have a look."

Ning Changrong went back to the room to get his weapon, put on a piece of clothing, and hurriedly followed Ning Lao Er out again to check the situation.

After Wang Xiujuan left, he and Ning Qingxi also carried the fire and the crossbow, "Xixi, go and bring your gong over and wake everyone up!" ”
