Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 720
In the stockade, Wu Xing sat down on his seat and asked Liu Anxin beside him, "Is the stockade under surveillance? No one is allowed to enter or leave the stockade these days!"

Liu An said: "There are still some people scattered around the village living in the valley, do you want to arrest them?"

Wu Xing waved his hand: "No need. As long as the people in the village don't make trouble, other people don't care. Qianhu has already informed Xu Yue, let him turn a blind eye and close one eye, pretending not to know That's good. Besides Xu Yue, what's the use of others knowing?"

Liu An said: "Guangzhou is not far from the Xinyang army, if Wang Xiaolie sends troops, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist."

Wu Xing said: "Don't worry. Xu Yue is careful in his work and never offends Wang Xiaolie. Around Guangzhou, Wang Xiaolie did not deploy heavy troops. By the time he mobilizes troops, we will have gone far!"

Hearing this, Liu Anxin smiled and said: "In this way, Xu Yue's careful handling of things is actually so useful now. After this incident, he should be rewarded heavily."

Wu Xing nodded.After thinking for a while, he said, "Qianhu told us not to cause any trouble unless we have to. This small stockade doesn't have much horse feed. We have to go to other places to buy it."

Liu Anxin said disdainfully: "Why bother? Although the stockade is small, there are fifty or sixty households. Who doesn't have food in their homes? It can be used to feed the horses, and it can always last for a month or two. We only live here for more than ten days, enough gone."

"Don't cause trouble!" Wu Xing was a little impatient. "Can't you listen to what Qianhu ordered?"

Liu An said: "The stockade has already been taken by us. If we rob them of their food, how will others know?"

Wu Xing sighed: "Brother, how did your brain grow? As I said just now, you don't have to arrest everyone around you, they won't say it? If we just occupy the village, don't kill people, don't grab things, others will I don’t care too much about it. Speaking of it, it’s just an anecdote. Once a knife is used to kill people and rob them of food, the people around will be terrified. At that time, who will know what will happen?”

After finishing speaking, Wu Xing couldn't help shaking his head.

Liu An said: "But I have dozens of horses, where can I buy horse feed?"

Wu Xing said: "Twenty miles away is the Shangcheng Town. Can't you buy it there? Such a big town can't afford dozens of horses?"

Shangcheng was originally a county, but it was merged into Gushi County and reduced to a town in the third year of Dao.Surrounded by the vast Dabie Mountains, within hundreds of miles, there is no place bigger than this place, so it is very prosperous.Now is the troubled times, many people fled into the mountains, more prosperous.

Seeing that Wu Xing was angry, Liu Anxin didn't dare to say any more, he lowered his head and muttered.

At this moment, a subordinate came in and reported that the people in the village had gathered.

Wu Xing stood up, walked out with Liu Anxin, and saw that the center of the village was already full of residents.Stepping forward, he cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, my surname is Wu, and I'm taking my brothers to do some business with no capital. I'm sorry to bother you for a few days' rest today. To prevent accidents, when we are here, Everyone, stay at home honestly and don't move around. I promise, we won't kill people here, we won't rob things, we won't cause trouble. As long as you cooperate, everyone will be fine. If we are right, then I am sorry, don't blame me for being hot!"

A group of people saw more than a dozen people standing around them, all of them were menacing and did not dare to speak.

Wu Xing said: "We have horses and need horse feed. If you have horse feed at home, you can take it out and we will pay for it."

After hearing this, Liu Anxin couldn't help feeling anxious.I came here to be a robber, how can I return the money to buy things?

After finishing speaking, Wu Xing looked at everyone with a dark face.Looking at the western sky again, a red sunset went down the mountain.

Seeing that no one spoke, Wu Xing waved his hands and said, "Go back. These days, you'd better stay at home honestly. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, don't blame me!"

When Sun Ji arrived at Pan's father's house, the sun had already set.Patting his chest, he secretly thought that his luck was bad.

Hearing Sun Ji call the door, Father Pan came out and said, "Officer, why are you back again? Could it be that you forgot something?"

Sun Jidao: "It's my fate! As soon as I walked to the gate of the village, a group of strong men suddenly came, and they entered the village and made chickens fly and dogs jumped. At first glance, they were not good people. My life was at stake. I didn't dare to enter the village, so I had to go to the village. Daddy is staying overnight here."

Father Pan heard this, and hurriedly let Sun Ji into the yard.Said: "Don't say that, officials. You have put in so much effort for us, even if you stay for a few days, you should. It's just that you can't go to the village, you can't buy things, and the officials have to take care of it."

Sun Jidao: "You can live on, why can't I? Although it's a bit poor here, the scenery is good."

While talking, Father Pan took Sun Ji into the house.The couple slept in the east room, and there were some miscellaneous rooms in the west room, which were cleaned out in a hurry.There was no bed, so he took two bundles of straw and spread it on the ground, and asked Sun Ji to spend the night here temporarily.

After making arrangements for Sun Ji, Father Pan was worried, so he secretly went to the village to have a look.I saw someone guarding the gate of the village, only allowed to enter but not to exit.Father Pan didn't dare to go in, so he ran back from a distance.

At night, the two discussed secretly.

Hunjia said: "After the official left, I heard your letter to Eldest Sister Nian, saying that you are living a good life in Luoyang, and you want to pick us up. It's poor here, why should we stick to it? Why don't we leave after harvesting the rice in a few days? Bar."

Father Pan said: "If you want me to tell you, it's better to give the rice to another family, and let's go on the road in exchange for some money. You didn't hear Guan Sun said that the magistrate of Luoshan County is very fond of his son-in-law. We only need to get to Luoshan The county, the government may not help us."

The wife said: "The son-in-law should not be a high-ranking official, and the government will help us anywhere. However, it should be fine to borrow some money. Sigh, it's better to wait for a month or two, we harvest the rice, and at least make up some money. At that time we don’t need to ask for help.”

Father Pan nodded.After thinking for a while, he said: "No, we still have to wait. I didn't hear from Sun Guanren that a group of strong men came to the stockade, and they didn't look like good people. I went to the stockade just now and they guarded the door. They are only allowed to enter but not to exit. With these people here, how can we wait!"

The fucker has no idea.Hearing what my husband said, I stopped insisting.After counting there for a while, he sighed and said, "Well, there are only a few buckets of millet in the house, and all the copper coins are not worth a penny. It's a thousand miles away, how can this be done? Thinking about the past seasons, we were also a wealthy family, so why did we become This way!"

After finishing speaking, the more I thought about it, the more wronged I became, and I couldn't help crying.

Father Pan had no choice but to comfort his wife.It's just that life is difficult and I can't think of a way.
