The Ming Dynasty talker in the box

Chapter 38
When Li Hengqu used the box last night, he discovered that more than ten miles southeast of Gaojiabao had been lit up.

These illuminated places are the homes of ordinary people, which shows that he has taken a small solid step on the road to completing his mission, and he still has a sense of satisfaction.

But just one night later, these areas were dark again, which meant that these areas were occupied by hostile forces again.

Who is it?Qing army?Or Dashun?

"Gerou, tell me what you know immediately." Li Hengqu calmed down as much as possible.

"Monk Zhang just told me. I don't know the other specific circumstances."

"Monk? Isn't he with Long Jiu? Long Jiu was arrested, why is he here? Where are the others?"

"He...he is waiting in the side hall and does not dare to come to see you." Gerou looked at Li Hengqu with some worry.

Long Jiu was arrested, but he escaped alone, so he was afraid that I would punish him and didn't dare to come to see me?
Li Hengqu instantly understood the monk's mentality.

"Take me to see him."

After one night, there were still hundreds of refugees in Gaojiabao who had not left. They had long been homeless and were temporarily staying in Gaojiabao.

However, they were prohibited from entering the inner courtyard by Longjiu because Li Hengqu was sleeping in the inner courtyard at the time.

After they saw Li Hengqu walking out of the inner courtyard with a stern face, although they were a little scared, they still stood up and called Mr. Li.

After the mixed-race monk heard the noise outside in the side hall, he turned around anxiously. He hadn't figured out how to explain to Li Hengqu yet. What if that guy got angry and called me Fo Yishi, then...
"What's going on?" Li Hengqu's voice had already reached the side hall before he arrived.

The monk heard Li Hengqu's voice and fell to his knees with a thump.

"Mr. Li, it's my fault. I'm greedy for life and afraid of death. I shouldn't leave the envoy and escape alone."

"Get up and talk about business." Li Hengqu was a little impatient when he saw him like this.

"It's like this. The dragon messenger was busy distributing materials last night, and he didn't finish until sunrise."

"I originally wanted her to take a rest, but she was a little worried. She was afraid that the villagers would have conflicts over supplies when they returned to the village, so I decided to inspect every nearby village."

"Tell the important points!" People always like to pay attention to details when they are nervous.

"Okay, okay, when we came out of the third village after inspecting it, dozens of people with swords and guns suddenly rushed out and surrounded us."

"We thought they were robbers at the time, so we said we had money and we should spare our lives, but these people were unmoved and kidnapped us directly."

"Why didn't you call Master Yishi then?" Li Hengqu asked doubtfully.

"Dragon Messenger and I both called, but we didn't get a response from my Buddha."

"And we only shouted twice before we were stopped. A piece of smelly cotton was stuffed into my mouth. The dragon messenger didn't dare to call out after seeing this."

Already called?It seemed that I slept too deeply. They only shouted twice and did not wake me up.

"Do you know who kidnapped you?"

"Army!" the monk said firmly.

"army?"

"Yes, a large number of troops, too many to count. We were tied up and walked all the way, and the soldiers sat on the ground to rest all the way."

A large number of soldiers!Li Hengqu felt that things were a little tricky.

"Are these soldiers shaved and braided?"

"No, I didn't see anyone with a shaved head and braided hair."

It seems that it is not the Qing army, but it is most likely the Dashun army. Could such a large army be the defeated troops gathered by Li Zicheng?

"Did they say why they tied you up?"

"I don't know. I found an opportunity to escape back as soon as I got there." The monk replied, shrinking his neck.

"How did you escape back?"

"I…………"

"Forget it, why didn't you call Master Yishi immediately after you escaped?"

There's no point in learning about his escape skills now that time is of the essence.

"Because, because I left the Dragon Messenger there and ran away alone, I didn't dare, I didn't dare..."

"Where are Da Wa and the four of them?"

"They were all injured and they were being watched by a dozen people when I ran away."

Li Hengqu's anger subsided, and it was understandable that the monk ran away alone, but as a bodyguard, the mercenary would be damned if he abandoned Long Jiu.

"Now I ask you to go with me to the enemy camp, do you dare?" Li Hengqu wanted to rescue Long Jiu, so he could only let the monk lead the way. "Mr. Li, you can ask me, Fo Yishi, for help. There is no need to put yourself at risk."

That requires me to be able to see where the group of people are on the screen. Now I can only find the location of the enemy camp first, and then stay out of the opponent's range to do things.

"So you don't dare?" Li Hengqu did not respond to the monk's doubts.

"Okay...okay! Mr. Li must have a perfect plan if he dares to break into the enemy camp."

"I don't have any strategy." Li Hengqu added the second half in his mind.

…………

Mr. Li, Mr. Li, there is a person outside the castle asking to see you. He is said to be the envoy of Ma Jiben, the leader of the army.

"Ma Jiben?"

Li Hengqu went through it in his mind and found that there was no such person.

"I gonna go see!"

He asked Gerou to go to the inner courtyard and guard outside the room where he slept last night, and not allow anyone to enter because the box was still inside.

Li Hengqu came to the city wall of Gaojiabao and saw a man riding a tall horse.

The man was dressed in gorgeous white clothes, with a long jade pendant hanging around his waist. He had fair complexion and elegant appearance.

If he hadn't held a sword in his hand, Li Hengqu would have suspected that this was someone who came from the world of martial arts.

Although he was an enemy rather than a friend, Li Hengqu still had a good impression of this person and wanted to make friends with him.

"Brother, why don't you come in and talk?" Li Hengqu said to the bottom of the city wall.

The man smiled and shook his head: "I just came here to ask a few words on behalf of the brigade commander."

"You said."

"Did you come up with the so-called Farmers' Association?"

"Yes."

"Are you the one who walks in the world at the beginning?"

"Yes."

"Are you here to destroy my Dashun on behalf of Mr. Yishi?"

It was indeed the Dashun Army.

"No." Li Hengqu replied.

"But after I figured out what the Agricultural Cooperative was, I could feel the huge threat it posed to Dashun's rule."

"It's simple. If Dashun joins the Agricultural Cooperative, the threat you mentioned will no longer exist." Li Hengqu said carelessly.

"Hahahaha, wonderful, you are such a wonderful person. Okay, I'll finish asking." After the man finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Did you capture Long Jiu?" Li Hengqu shouted.

"Long Jiu? Oh, you're talking about that little girl?"

Seeing that Li Hengqu was silent, the man continued:
"That little girl is fine now, you don't have to worry."

"How can I get her back?"

"It's easy. You go and exchange it with her in person."

The man also imitated Li Hengqu's carefree manner, turned around and left after speaking.

"What are you going to do?" Li Hengqu was a little impatient.

The man didn't respond this time. He pulled the reins, and the tall horse neighed and galloped away, leaving dust all the way.

Li Hengqu looked at his back as he walked away gracefully, frowning and thinking, still unable to figure out what their purpose was.

Finally he gave up thinking.

No matter what your purpose is, I only tell you what it means to conquer ten societies with one force.

"Monk, go and bring the carriage."

I want to go to the meeting by bicycle!
