"Father-in-law, look at what you said, since you are already a part of this place, you naturally have to contribute.

You can rest assured, as long as I, Zhao Ming, do not die of hunger in the future, the villagers will be able to eat a mouthful of food, and they will not let Yunyun suffer. ”

Zhao Ming comforted, although he guessed in his heart that this Master Feng was in a hurry to marry him, and most of them had a plan, but they did a good job.

After talking to Master Feng, after half an hour, Zhao Ming walked out of Master Feng's mansion.

Looking at the scorching sun outside as always, Zhao Ming frowned.

This thief really didn't let him live in peace for a day.

"The plan has to be accelerated."

Zhao Ming sighed secretly in his heart, just now he asked Ah Fu to calculate, if he made every effort to ensure that the escort team was fed and drunk regardless of consumption, the horses would also be fully rationed.

That Zhuangzi can last for half a month at most, and half a month will inevitably run out of food.

Early the next morning, the Zhuangzi Outer Guards continued to practice hard as usual.

At this moment, the inside and outside of the village are shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, although the villagers in the village do not know what will happen next.

But seeing that Zhao Ming, the current person in power, has a fierce posture, even if they are stupid, they know that there may be something big in Fengjiazhuang next.

The rain is coming, and no one knows what will happen next.

Until the third day after the fire, Fengjiazhuang's drills continued.

A few miles away, seventeen or eighteen scrawny corpses lay on the ground, and the fatal wounds on these people had just appeared, and blood flowed.

"Phew! His mother's group of victims are all fucking poor ghosts, and they have nothing to eat, and if this continues, the brothers will all go hungry! ”

A knife bandit cursed in his mouth, and the atmosphere of everyone was also extremely depressing.

Han Laosan and Li Shundang, the second master, also had a bad face, and for several days, they went around the neighborhood several times, running back and forth for hundreds of miles.

But in the end, I didn't catch any farts, but I encountered a lot of victims.

It's just that these victims have some oceans on them, but this is a fart, and everyone who has no food has to starve to death.

"Hehe, we won't lose anything this time, didn't we just kill a dozen cattle and sheep? These can fill your stomach when you take them back and roast them on the fire, right? ”

Suddenly, a voice sounded, and everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Old Five, you're crazy!"

Han Laosan immediately shouted angrily.

It was the fifth member of their gang who spoke just now, but how could such a thing be spoken?

Hearing this, Lao Wu sneered disdainfully, "Boss! You are Qinggao now, Qinggao, so why don't you take us to eat and drink spicy food?

Lao Tzu doesn't want to eat these things, but you don't want to think about it, if we don't eat them, what will the brothers eat next?

Like these people? Starve to death? ”

Hearing this, Han Laosan, as the boss, was silent.

After a while, he sighed, "You can't eat it, slaughter the horse!" ”

He closed his eyes in pain.

Horses are the precious bumps of their knife bandits, and horses and knives are things they can't give up in this life.

Killing horses is absolutely unacceptable to them, but for now.....

"Boss! Horses can't be killed! You can't kill horses! Lao Tzu would rather eat these than kill horses! ”

The fifth child suddenly became even angrier, and roared angrily by stalking his neck.

Da-da-da-da! ~

At this moment, a group of fast horses were galloping over, but they saw a brother who first looked at the current situation, and then hesitated to come to Han Laosan and whispered a few words in his ear.

It wasn't until the brother walked away that the silence was broken by the fifth brother.

"Boss, did you find any fat sheep?" Lao Wu couldn't help licking his lips as he spoke.

Han Laosan shook his head, and Li Shundang on the side was also a little curious.

"It's Fengjiazhuang, it seems to be practicing over there."

With Han Laosan's words, the fifth child suddenly scolded.

"Damn, Feng Jiazhuang is too deceitful, we haven't troubled them yet, they are thinking of a way to deal with us, right?"

"Wait!"

Li Shundang, the second leader of the sudden, suddenly spoke up, and when he saw everyone's eyes looking over, he thought about it, "I don't think the situation is so simple.

If you think about it, a few days ago we let the brothers set fire to the Zhuangzi, although the news could not be spread.

But looking at the fire that night, a lot of grain must have been burned.

Think about us, if you can't eat enough, you don't even want to move to rob the house, you say that this grain has been burned so much, what kind of strength training nursing home does they have in Fengjiazhuang?

You must know that Fengjiazhuang is a thousand people! With so many people, people eat horses and chew them, and the consumption can be imagined! ”

After Li Shundang finished speaking, he thought that he would gain a lot of expressions of sudden realization, but everyone looked at him in a daze one by one and didn't react.

"Uh.... Second brother, so what do you mean by saying so much? ”

"yes, what do you mean?"

Everyone asked nonsense, which made Li Shundang a little annoyed, and secretly despised in his heart, a group of fools.

"I guess they've been trying to do something lately!"

"Do something? What can be done? ”

The crowd was still puzzled.

Li Shundang's chest rose and fell, suppressing the urge to scold this group of people's pig brains, and said as calmly as possible,

"Now they must be short of food, so I speculate that they want to grab it!"

"Grab food? But the question is who can they rob? ”

Han Laosan understands it now, but who is it to rob?

They can explore the nearby places clearly, and the ones they can rob are those Zhuangzi, but they can't handle those Zhuangzi, and Fengjiazhuang can handle it?

Li Shundang also shook his head, "I don't know, anyway, I recently sent someone to keep an eye on Fengjiazhuang, I feel that something must be strange!" ”

Although he felt that Fengjiazhuang was going to do something, he never thought of robbing the army rations in the past.

After all, who ate the bear's heart and the leopard dared to do this?

"Humph! What can they rob? I think the second child, instead of wasting all this useless energy, you should think about how to make the brothers eat.

Otherwise, we will have to flee like these victims. ”

The fifth child was very disdainful, and thought that the second child could come up with something famous.

——

Time flashed by, and soon another two days passed.

"Are you sure?"

"Zhao Ye! We ran for dozens of miles, and we were not mistaken, the grain transport team did arrive, and it is estimated that we will be able to reach the vicinity of Xifeng Slope tonight! ”

"It's too late! ~”

Zhao Ming rubbed his eyebrows, he didn't expect that the time to transport grain this time would be much faster than before.

When he was a homeless before, it was not that he had not observed the rules of this grain transportation team, after all, people were hungry and all crazy ideas came up.

At that time, he also thought about stealing some military rations alone.

According to the previous law, it is generally transported once every half a month.

It's just that I didn't expect that this time it was five days ahead of schedule, and it seems that the front line is increasing troops again.

"Zhao Ye! Are we really going to do this? There are so many of us going out, if there is something to make trouble in the Zhuangzi at night....." Chang Wei was a little embarrassed.

"The news hasn't gotten out yet, has it?" Zhao Ming asked rhetorically.

Chang Wei shook his head, "No! At present, many of my brothers are unaware. ”

"Before sunset, let some of the brothers take some donkey carts out of the village, and the carts will be full of things. Someone asked, and said that they would go to Xi'an Mansion in Beishan to buy grain. ”

Saying that, Zhao Ming paused, thought for a moment and continued, "Let these brothers prepare a few more fast horses, and if they encounter an emergency, don't bring anything and escape on horseback!" ”

"Zhao Ye, do you want to .....?"

"Surrounded by wolves, if you don't throw something to test the water, this thing can't be done!"

Zhao Ming shook his head and sighed lightly, feeling that he was still too soft-hearted.

In the year of the great calamity, donkey carts and horses were extremely expensive, and human life was worthless at this time.

"Hmmm! Zhao Ye, I know! ”

Chang Wei arched his hand and prepared to leave.

"Plus!"

Zhao Ming stopped Chang Wei and continued to instruct, "Today's meal in the village will be delayed for half an hour, and you will ..... like this again when everyone is eating."

——

At nightfall, the night was still dark, and a fairly thick cloud obscured the moonlight.

Just when everyone in the village was eating collectively, the door of Fengjiazhuang was quietly opened. But I saw more than a dozen people leading a large group of horses, and quietly led dozens of horses out of the village before everyone in the village was aware of it.

Immediately afterwards, seven or eight more people drove some donkey carts out of the village.

The village is a group meal in one place, and many people gather very noisy, and they don't notice any movement outside.

After another two or three hours, there was silence inside and outside the village.

There is no entertainment at all on the big night, and now Fengjiazhuang is tightening his belt to live, and he doesn't care if he is full for two meals a day, so how can he have any strength to play waist and abdomen exercises at night.

Therefore, the vast majority of farmers went to bed early, and even those who did not sleep lay in bed to reduce consumption.

And at this moment, a large group of people touched the darkness and supervised each other out of Zhuangzi.

This group of people did not light torches, so they walked in the dark, and after gradually getting used to this dark environment, the general direction was still very simple.

And as everyone left the village, the door of the village was quickly closed and pressed against the wood.

There are not many people who are still busy working in Zhuangzi, only more than 20 people, and if you look closely, these people are all old people in Zhuangzi, all of whom are not less than fifty or sixty years old.

The men quickly climbed the fence and walked around it with torches in hand, lighting the kerosene stoves that had been erected earlier at each passing place.

Soon there were dotted fires above the Zhuangzi wall, and from a distance, the entire Fengjiazhuang seemed to be brightly lit, and those who didn't know thought that the patrol force had been greatly strengthened.

With so many people dispatched at one time, Zhao Ming was naturally very worried about the situation in the village.

Not only did he notify everyone ten minutes before the action, but he was also guarding against the hidden knife bandits in the village.

Even in order to conceal the movement of a large number of cavalry out of the village, he also took advantage of the meal to let a few people leave the village in advance with all the horses, so that it would not make people feel that a large number of people were missing from the dinner table.

The only hidden danger is the twenty or thirty old men who stayed in the village.

These people are the real old people of Fengjiazhuang, in fact, the credibility is already very high, but they still have to be guarded against.

Therefore, Zhao Ming arranged for the three of them to work in a team, and before they came back, they supervised each other, and they must not let any of them leave their respective fields of vision.

Even Feng Yunyun has a back hand on his side, there is a secret passage in Master Feng's mansion, and this secret passage can lead directly to the outside world.

Zhao Ming was also recently told by Feng Yunyun, so he arranged for four swordsmen with excellent skills to be on guard at any time, and once they found that something was wrong, they would immediately lead people into the secret passage and temporarily go out of the city to avoid danger in time.

And next, what Zhao Ming needs to face is the biggest risk!

It's a gamble!

If it weren't for the fact that time was too tight, the first thing he would clean up would naturally be Han Laosan's gang of knife bandits, but it's a pity! ~

——

At the same time, about dozens of miles away from here, the west wind slope.

It was brightly lit, and a line of torch-carrying troops stretched for a kilometer or two.

There were soldiers with guns on their backs, and there was also a military vehicle in front of the team, and a headlight scanned the surroundings from time to time.

In the middle and back of the procession, there are more farmers driving donkey carts and coolies pulling carts.

The whole team, the soldiers and the farmer coolies, numbered in the hundreds.

And this road has long been trampled by the lanes and people's feet.

During the day, they mostly take refuge in shady areas, and at night they travel quickly.

There is a big drought in this pass, and the hot day is at the head during the day, so I really can't stand it.
