Chapter 86 86. Fight!

Two nights later, Uncle Xizi sent a letter from Zhou Lesong.

"Damn, it turns out that the beautiful and flowery head of Cuihonglou was raised by the magistrate, or the outer room!"

The man showed shock on his face, digesting this matter all the way.

"That's the sister Hua'er who caused a sensation in the entire Lin'an Mansion six years ago—"

At the beginning, there were countless admirers, from high-ranking officials and aristocrats down to high-ranking talents, no matter who she married, she would fall into the nest of fortune.

Never expected that in the end it turned out to be an unworthy outside room?
Does the prefect have more charm?

Uncle Xi Zi expressed his incomprehension, "By the way, why didn't I see the other one?"

"In Qingshan Village."

Cheng Xi joined the man's soliloquy at the right time, "Uncle Xi Zi, are you also interested in the pair of top sisters?"

"Why are you interested? Is your Uncle Xi Zi like that!"

The man immediately cleared the boundaries, "I only saw it once by chance, but I have heard a lot of rumors about them. Don't mention it in front of your aunt, she won't beat me to death!"

"Oh--"

It's just that you remember the appearance after seeing it once by chance, then your memory is really good.

"Uncle Xi Zi, don't worry, I'm not a big mouth."

Cheng Xi was a little girl who didn't understand anything six years ago, she didn't know anything about the Cuihong Loutou card, but now she doesn't have any memory at all.

But she quickly shifted her attention - she was more concerned about Zhou Lesong's plans than any top-notch affair.

Shen Xingluo on the opposite side had already opened the letter and scanned it at a glance.

"Zhou Lesong ordered Zhuang Kun to lie in ambush at the place where he must pass through to enter Fucheng, and attack the passing imperial envoys."

As expected.

"Damn it, I didn't expect the magistrate to act like this!"

Uncle Xizi thumped the table angrily, "I always thought that the magistrate was not bad, but I was deceived by him!"

I never expected that when the snow disaster came, the fox's tail would be exposed.

It is understandable for him to close the city gate. After all, there is not enough food in the city. Closing the city gate can protect tens of thousands of people in the city.

But what the hell is colluding with bandits and chasing and killing imperial envoys?

What's more, this is not the first time.

"Uncle Xizi, don't be angry, Zhuang Kun is still in our hands."

Shen Xingluo folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope, got up and walked out, "Let the third master of Qingshan Village write a reply letter."

At noon the next day, a reply letter written by Zhuang Kun himself was sent back.

At this time, in a forest on the border of Lin'an Prefecture, a team of about 50 people stopped to rest.

"Jiang Ming, how far is it?"

"Go back to my lord, I will arrive in Fucheng in thirty miles, and if there are no accidents, I can arrive tonight."

"I see."

An old male voice came from a low-key and ordinary carriage, and then the curtain was lifted, revealing a wise face.

"Then rest here for a while, don't hurry."

This group of people started their journey from the capital a month ago, even with the protection of the imperial decree and guards, the journey was quite dangerous, and now everyone's face is full of exhaustion.

If things go on like this, if they encounter a group of robbers composed of disaster victims again, they will have to fight to the death.

"But my lord, it's not safe here"

The man named Jiang Ming showed embarrassment and hesitant tone.

It is true that I have experienced too many dangerous things along the way, and the vigilance in my heart has never been let go, and the mob is hard to guard against.

The old man looked at the nearby guards with black eyes, "They need to rest."

Jiang Ming stopped admonishing and responded quickly.

"I'm going to order my servants to cook."

The forest looked extremely desolate, the sun shone from the sky on the ground, and the snow was melting little by little.

The temperature of minus 10 degrees is not so cold anymore, at least wearing a padded jacket to move around will not freeze the exposed skin.

The old man got off the carriage and took a few steps nearby to observe his surroundings.

As the team stopped, many victims followed one after another. Some continued to walk forward numbly, as if they didn't know where their destination was, while others found a place not far or near to rest.

A bit of pity flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he sighed.

This world.
"When will the 20 shi of grain transferred from Yunchuan Mansion arrive at Lin'an Mansion?"

"Return to your lord, according to the distance, you can arrive in five days."

"Who is escorting the food?"

"It's a school lieutenant under the fifth prince. Don't worry, my lord. The school lieutenant brought five hundred elite soldiers to escort the food. There is no possibility of accidents."

"Ah."

The old man nodded, with a little more determination in his eyes.

***
"Can the 20 shi of grain reach Lin'an Mansion safely?"

In the small courtyard of the Shen family, Cheng Xi held the letter from Qin Zheng and asked questions.

"If it is true that the fifth prince sends someone to deliver the food, there will be no problem."

"Zhou Lesong should have received the news of the food shipment a long time ago. He killed the imperial envoy. Is he planning to use the food to improve his reputation?"

"The lady is smart."

"."

Sorry, I didn't hear you complimenting me at all.

Cheng Xi felt that when he heard the word "intelligent" from Shen Xingluo's mouth, he was full of irony.

The effect is awesome.

"Since he is holding such a banner, the city gate should not be sealed anymore."

There was more and more disaster victims at the gate of the city, it was impossible for Zhou Lesong not to know.

Before, he didn't dare to let the victims into the city because there was no food in the city, but now that the 20 shi of food is about to arrive, he must know that appeasing the victims is the first priority.

I have food, kill those who are in the way, and earn a wave of word of mouth.

Le Song Niu this week!

The two were talking when there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Brother Xingluo, the two teams at the entrance of the village are fighting!"

The person who came to report the letter was Shen Qingsong, who ran all the way from the entrance of the village without panting at all, and his physical fitness was much better than before.

"The group of refugees ambushing near us saw a caravan in the distance and rushed up. Now the two sides are fighting hard, but I see that caravan will lose!"

Don't lose, there are as many as 200 refugees lurking outside Shenjia Village.

Two hundred against fifty, the caravan is obviously in a weak position, not to mention that these refugees are simply desperate to fight.

Cheng Xi felt a little strange, "We are guarding against these refugees these days, how dare someone pull the hatred value over?"

There are such good things!
It has become a tradition for Shenjia Village to be attacked by a group of refugees every few days. A few days ago, several groups of people in the vicinity united to prepare for a big wave.

Shen Mantun got angry because of this.

Well now, people have shifted their target.

Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi looked at each other, planning to go to the entrance of the village to see which unlucky person hit the muzzle of the gun.

It is human nature to watch the fun.

And this excitement just happened in front of my own house, wouldn't it be the same as being delivered to my door?

Definitely not to be missed!
