Beacon Fire in the Central Plains Chapter 108: Twelve Hours (Part 1)
Wuzhen, Central Plains
The eyes that faintly glistened to the pattern of the other side finally faded, and the violent and perverse expression on Qiu Yuwei's face also returned to her usual calm.
Yun Musheng took back the ghost talisman that he had just pressed on the back of Qiu Xuan's neck, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Fortunately, I opened the little thing given by the ghost car predecessor and looked at it, and I almost missed such a useful thing." ”
Qiu Weiwei, who had regained his senses, stumbled slightly and fell on the crook of Yun Musheng's arm.
"Was she almost directly dominated this time?" She gasped.
Qiu Zhuo's violent state was seen by Yun Musheng, obviously the foul language of those thieves and bandits made Qiu Zhuo feel a little angry, so that the evil curse that was the embodiment of anger and anger found an opportunity.
"Qiuqiu Mo is angry, the barking words of these wild dogs are not enough to be angry."
After that, Yun Musheng gathered his strength into a blade, but those bandits didn't seem to have the intention of fighting hard, and they weren't stupid people, just saw the person who died tragically under the Qiu Wei silver ticket, and he also knew that the other party was not a master to be messed with.
The leader took a few steps back, then left the begonia red and retreated with a group of people. Yun Musheng picked up the ruddy porcelain vase, and picked up the shopkeeper Ding who had been kicked to the ground just now.
Although the crisis was lifted for a while, there was no relieved look on the face of the shopkeeper, but his brows were tightly knit and worried.
"Ugh."
"Why should the shopkeeper sigh, haven't those people already fled?"
Shopkeeper Ding patted Yun Musheng on the shoulder and said, "Young man, I am grateful for your righteousness, but those people will definitely leak the matter of Wan Daren's return to his hometown when they go back, and then Wuzhen will at least be eaten by the wolves in the prison." ”
Yun Musheng thought about it for a while, it seems that the cloth-clothed thief just now said it well, this Wuzhen can be so peaceful, it seems that it is mostly because of the so-called Wan Daren guard.
It's just a little strange, no matter how strong Master Wu is, maybe it will be easy to deal with the third-rate rats in the prison gate, but if the master of the Jun Court comes across the river, can he resist it?
Without waiting for Yun Musheng to think about it, at the entrance of Wuzhen in the distance, a meteor suddenly rose and exploded in the air.
Everyone on the street was frightened, but the shopkeeper Ding on the side seemed to have expected it, and he actually had a decadent expression of accepting fate.
"Then everything Wuzhen is so powerful, without him, Wuzhen will have to be destroyed?"
"Young man, don't you know, three years ago, there was a fire in the forest around this Wuzhen, and the fire surrounded the whole town, and the big guys felt that they couldn't escape.
Some will dance fire, some will call thunder, and Wan Daren, in the palm of the hand can gather the river, that time thanks to them, only to save the Wuzhen up and down, three years down, the surrounding burned forest is also growing again, our Wuzhen people's lives, are all Wan Daren. ”
Yun Musheng thought for a moment, and then gently hammered the already sluggish old man and asked, "The Lord Wan you mentioned, when will he come back?" ”
"When I guess the rooster crow tomorrow, it has always been like this, every time he returns to his hometown, he will come back with the first rooster crowing two days later, and every time he walks secretly, I didn't expect the news to leak today." The shopkeeper was still desperate.
Yun Musheng thought for a moment, it only took about an hour to get from the prison to Wuzhen, which means that in the twelve hours before the so-called Wan Daren came back, Yun Musheng only had less than an hour, but he needed to hold on for an hour.
Qiu Huan wanted to say something on the side, but he stopped, if he persuaded Yun Musheng to leave and ignore this matter, then this Wu Zhen would definitely be raped and plundered, burned, killed and robbed in the eleven hours after the arrival of the bandits, and then the only remaining years in the Central Plains would be ruined.
But if you want to persuade him to stay and protect the people of Wuzhen, thinking of the danger in the prison yesterday, how can she be willing to let the young people around her make danger again, when she was in Yizhou, she wanted to help him, so she came to the Central Plains desperately, but she seemed to be more and more burdensome along the way, so she didn't dare to add to Yun Musheng's blockage.
Unexpectedly, the young man smiled easily, put it on the shoulder of the shopkeeper Ding and said, "Hey, this is a big deal, just wait until Master Wu comes back." ”
Yun Musheng's understated words couldn't make Shopkeeper Ding trust a little at all, but he didn't know that the young man in front of him, who seemed to know the height of the sky, had passed by the Hades Palace many times.
"Shopkeeper, do you know how to get the people of Wuzhen together?"
Although the shopkeeper Ding did not trust this young man, but at this time it was already a situation of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, and it was impossible for these unarmed people to fight with those strong men with sharp weapons on their own.
"There is a big bell in the center of the town, and for many years only the adults of Wan have rung it, but whenever something is called, he will use it to gather the men, women and children of the town."
"Then don't delay any longer, take us there!"
About the time of a pillar of incense, the bell led all the people of Wuzhen, and of course, Ma Qingfeng, who was woken up by the commotion.
"Ladies and gentlemen, time does not wait for me, to make a long story short, we are weak, and it will be difficult for the bandits to come to the prison, and now the only thing we can do is one word, drag."
Everyone talked about it, although everyone knew the situation at this time when they saw the signal of the bandits, but they were all the same as the shopkeeper Ding, and in the face of this young foreigner, he had strange white hair, which was really hard to trust.
Yun Musheng had already expected that he would be difficult to convince the public, but fortunately, when he left Jiangnan, the princess Li Qinghe and the owner of Yanyu Building, Ye Qianqiu, each gave him two objects, and now it is time to put one of them to use.
I saw that the young man immediately took out a golden token in his pocket, and the word Lingling was written on it.
"Today's holy gift, seeing the gold medal is like seeing the saint, and the whole of Wuzhen is listening to my orders at this moment!"
The grandeur of these words, coupled with the bright gold artifact, frightened the people all at once, and even Qiu Zhuo and Ma Qingfeng were a little speechless because of this.
Everyone bowed down and bowed, Yun Musheng was overjoyed when he saw this scene, but it was too late for these red tapes to be carried out at this time.
"Get up quickly, hurry up, time is pressing, and all the able-bodied men who are going to listen to me as they go, if you want to hold back the bandits, you must put up a block on their way as they come, and the more the better, and make sure to delay as long as possible."
"The first card is set up two miles away, which is the closest to Wuzhen, so it is necessary to make the simplest and most time-consuming trap, pit, dig a deep pit, the mouth of the hole should be large, as big as it can be, and as deep as it can be."
"The second one is stuck three miles away, sawing trees, and when the bandits are coming, knock down the trunks of the trees to block the way, the more the better..."
In this way, Yun Musheng's plan will set up a total of twenty-two checkpoints on the official road, one for each mile, if it goes well, as long as each bayonet can hold for half an hour, it can be dragged until the arrival of that adult.
According to the terrain from the prison to Wuzhen, the bandits could only take one official road, which was different from other places, between the two places, it was almost a straight one, and the other forest paths were not only winding and winding, but also the land was rugged and bumpy, and it was not convenient to ride horses at all.
In order not to waste time, everyone left a few strong men at each bayonet, and after telling them how to arrange the roadblock traps, they went to the next bayonet, and waited for the bandit horse team to attack, and each bayonet was already fireworks.
Several fireworks shops in the town did not hesitate to take out a few monkeys, and the rest of the shops, large and small, also took out the materials needed for the burqa as much as possible and handed them to the group.
To say that this Ma Qingfeng is indeed a person who came out of the moon, plus several times in and out of the Central Plains, the terrain in this area is quite familiar, and in terms of taking advantage of the terrain to deploy defenses, that ghost idea is much more than Yun Musheng.
"How far have you gone?" Yun Musheng asked Ma Qingfeng.
"If you set a card according to one mile, it should be twenty miles."
The two of them were talking, and there were not many young men left behind them, and there were still two places left from the planned twenty-two cards.
Ma Qingfeng seemed to sense something, and suddenly lay on the ground, his ears close to the ground.
"The sound of horses' hooves, there are about three miles left, it's too late!"
