- At night, in the wilderness more than a hundred miles away from Guangling Town, tens of thousands of people crowded together at the rebel army Yaotian camp to keep each other warm. Autumn was deep, and the temperature difference between day and night was huge.
In the camp, the sounds of crying, wailing, cursing, scolding, and all kinds of noise made it difficult to sleep. However, many people were still unaffected. They were so tired that they were almost unconscious. They fell to the ground and fell unconscious. .
In the largest tent, a middle-aged man known as King Yaotian looked gloomy and was asking his subordinates: "Has the signal from His Holiness not arrived yet?"
"Yes, King of Heaven, we still haven't arrived yet." The subordinate bowed and replied.
"This is not normal, something must have happened."
King Yaotian looked solemn: "The two masters are very powerful in martial arts and unfathomable. Normally, there is no one in Guangling Town who can keep her, but now, it has been more than a few hours"
"Just wait a little longer, the king doesn't have to worry." His subordinates reassured him cautiously.
Yao-you-you-xiao-said-updated-newest-fastest-King of Heaven was irritable and wanted to have an attack, but couldn't find a reason, so he held it back and sighed in his heart: If something happens to the two venerables, I will This bullshit king will definitely lose his life. How can I not be worried?
However, he waited impatiently until dawn, but still did not get the signal he longed for. King Yaotian, who was physically and mentally exhausted, could not sit still anymore. He stood up and shouted: "We can't wait any longer. After dawn, launch our troops and push forward." Ping there, we must find out the whereabouts of the Venerable no matter what!"
"But¡¡"
Before the men could say anything, they heard chaos and screams in the camp outside. Many people were shouting: "There's a fire, put out the fire. The cavalry of officers and soldiers are here again"
"here we go again?"
"Why is that cavalry here again? Didn't they go back?"
King Yaotian and his subordinates all looked stunned, but then they realized: something really happened! If the two masters had succeeded and Guangling Town had lost thousands of households, it would have been chaos without a leader. It was impossible to send another cavalry to continue causing trouble.
"asshole!"
King Yaotian threw the table away and jumped up, as furious as a wounded brown bear.
Once the cavalry arrives, the marching speed will be greatly slowed down. There is no need to send troops widely. I don¡¯t know how long it will take to move over bit by bit.
In fact, there are not many real rebels, just a few thousand people, all bandits from the mountains in Guangling. The reason why they appear so powerful is because they have intimidated tens of thousands of people, so they appear to be a huge crowd, shamelessly claiming to be a hundred thousand army.
If they abandon the common people and attack Guangling with only a few thousand people, they will not be so bold. It is impossible for the bandit leaders on various hills to agree.
The bandit leaders would say: Only when we have more people can we achieve success. Only those of us who block roads have the courage to rebel. Why wait until today?
"But if we take the people with us, we won't be able to walk fast at all. If we go like this day by day, before we reach Guangling Town, the sect will send someone to punish this bullshit king of ours."
what to do? what to do? What should I do?
Yesterday, King Yaotian was so arrogant, he was wandering around in the big tent like a headless fly
The early morning in Guangling Town is quite peaceful. After a few days of adjustment and adaptation, although most of the refugees still live in rag tents, they have a few bowls of thick porridge and a few pickles every day, and their stomachs are almost healed. , people also have spirit.
The porridge distributed in the town is really not fooling people. Although it is difficult to stand up with chopsticks, it is still very thick. This kind of porridge is the most nourishing. The refugees have no complaints. On the contrary, they are anxious to take good care of themselves and find a job to earn money. You can earn some copper coins, or join the construction army and build a decent house for your family.
Thatched huts are also available, which are better than tents. They just need to be able to accommodate people. With this kind of land, how can we have such high requirements?
There are not enough houses in the town, but there are still a lot of open spaces, because at the beginning, the four walls of Guangling Town were built based on the size of two thousand households, but in fact there were only more than a thousand households. There have been wars in recent years, and there are Many families have simply become extinct, and now there are only more than 800 households left.
There are only seven to eight hundred households out of more than three thousand refugees. If many bachelors take local widows and merge them directly into their original household registrations, the total number of households will be reduced, so it can still be accommodated.
¡°But there are no redundant fields outside the town. The future livelihood of the new residents will have to rely on the adults of Qianhu to find another way.
Although Guangling Town is a Qianhu Health Center, which is many times larger than a regular town, if it dares to admit so many refugees under the premise of limited farmland, some people will definitely say: This Luo Qianhu is crazy, this is not him Looking for death?
More than three thousand difficultiesPeople, not to mention the town, even the top counties that produce the most grain dare not accept it. What else is it if it is not seeking death?
Fortunately, our Qianhu family is very capable and has not caused any disadvantage to any common people so far, especially the old townspeople. Most of their lives are better than before.
This morning, my sister-in-law¡¯s father, Uncle Feng, came to Luo¡¯s house as a guest again. Luo Chong was not here and was busy with business outside. Uncle Feng was not here for dinner, but just came to see his daughter and chat with Luo¡¯s mother.
"My mother-in-law, I feel strange when you think of it."
Uncle Feng said: "These days, I have traveled almost all over the town and met many neighbors. They all said that with so many more refugees, my life has not been affected, but has actually become better than before. How is this possible? , tell me, what¡¯s going on?¡±
"My father-in-law, I am a woman, illiterate and do not read. You have more knowledge than me. You don't even understand. What can I say?"
Luo¡¯s mother smiled and said, ¡°Let your precious daughter tell you, she knows better.¡±
My sister-in-law took over the conversation and began to explain with her understanding: "I think it's because my younger brother has foreseen this situation in advance. Before anyone rebelled, he sent people everywhere to buy food and collect supplies. I I heard that several large warehouses in the town are full of food and stuff, and there¡¯s so much to eat, haha.¡±
?????????????????????? What I mean is that I also feel that I am exaggerating. How can there be endless food?
¡°Well, you could indeed buy food at that time.¡±
Uncle Feng nodded, secretly admiring Luo Chong's sharp eyesight. He could predict in advance that someone would rebel. His military intelligence must be very good. He didn't know how many spies were out there.
In recent years, there have not been many disasters in Guangling territory. The wealthy gentry families have stored a lot of surplus grain. If they are willing to spend money, they can indeed buy a lot of grain from several nearby counties.
The key is, where did he get so much money?
It's hard for Uncle Feng to ask this question. We are neither Jin Yiwei nor anti-thief spies. There is no need to inquire about Dong'er's secrets. As long as we know, he will have been prepared and will not be distressed by these refugees. We I feel relieved.
My sister-in-law is still saying: "The old town residents are living a good life because the men from many families are serving as soldiers under my younger brother. They receive two months' salary in advance. In addition, the price of goods in the town is strictly restricted by my younger brother. "No one dares to raise prices. If you have money, your life will be easier."
"Oh, no wonder."
Uncle Feng nodded again, but he still had the same question in his heart: God, he still dares to advance two months' salary to so many soldiers? Where did you get so much money?
Uncle Feng is a veteran. It¡¯s not like he doesn¡¯t understand that the current imperial court is extremely poor and the regular troops guarding the border cannot pay their salaries. All the soldiers have in their hands are white slips and they can barely eat enough.
He has only been working as a Qianhu householder for a few days, and with so much money in his hands, he doesn¡¯t know how many large and powerful households he has secretly robbed in order to
have to! You can't talk nonsense like this, and you can't even think about it.
Uncle Feng was alert in time. Anyway, he knew that everything was under the control of the child, so there was no need for us, a useless old man, to worry about it.
That night, three more people with strong martial arts easily avoided the guards on the city wall, sneaked into the town, and found the Luo family mansion.
¡°Obviously he¡¯s here to save the female assassin again.
This time, they were smart. One of them sneaked into the courtyard where Luo's mother and sister-in-law lived, and prepared in advance. If there were any mistakes in the rescue process of the other two, then this person could take hostages and threaten Luo Chong. In exchange for Luo's mother and sister-in-law, they exchanged their venerable lord.
It was a good idea, but the other two people pried open the door in the dark. As soon as they entered the room where the female assassin was, they heard her sigh deeply, then their vision went dark and she fell to the ground unconscious.
A few minutes later, Luo Chong came in with the guy who was trying to take the hostages. He stacked the three of them like building blocks and stabbed them through the heads of three candied haws.
¡°That¡¯s four.¡±
Luo Chong said to the female assassin: "Do you think, after this time, anyone will dare to come?"
"Let me see them before I can answer you."
The female assassin was sitting on the ground with her back against the wall. She looked pitiful and languid. If it were any other man, she would definitely step forward to take good care of her uncontrollably.
The three dead men were all dressed in black night clothes from head to toe, and their faces were covered with hoods. The female assassin could not recognize their exact identities.
Luo Chong pulled out the sword from the three heads and took off the hood a few times. After the female assassin saw it, obvious shock flashed across her expression.
She exhaled slowly and then answered: "At least, they won't do this again."
In fact, the shock in her heart was far beyond the surface, because one of the deceased, the bearded middle-aged man, was her senior brother. His cultivation strength was not much weaker than hers, and he was even more famous in the world, but no one knew him. Just another secret identity.
Unexpectedly, he died like this. He was set up like a toy and then killed with a knife. He didn't even know how he died.
¡°This person is so terrible, the Holy Leader will be as weak and powerless as a child in front of him¡±
The female assassin looked at Luo Chong with extremely complicated eyes, full of doubts in her heart: "With such terrifying strength, he should be a powerful and famous person in the world, how could he be willing to work in such an inconspicuous town? Famous for thousands of households.¡±
Although Qianhu is a fifth-grade official, there are really not many things that a military officer can manage, and there is not much money to be made. Especially the local health stations are extremely poor. I have never heard of a Qianhu who can have a huge fortune.
"Whoare you?"
Finally, she couldn't help but ask this question.
Luo Chong tied the three corpses together with a hemp rope, picked them up, and then answered her: "Luo Dong from Guangling Qianhu, known as Kuai Dao Liu in Jianghu, said that if you cut two liang, there will be no difference in money."
Then he carried the body out.
Note: Kuai Dao Liu is a pork seller in the town. Luo Chong once bought a whole pig head from his stall. r1148 - Didn't finish reading?
