Everyone nodded frequently after hearing this, still a little shocked when they thought about what happened in the afternoon.

"Yeah, I was really scared to death at the time. I really thought we were going to reveal that we were in Ye County."

"Who would have thought that such a large Ye County would be occupied by a group of rogue bandits. Where is the county magistrate, killed by Li Datou?"

"Looking at it like that, he either took his wife and children and ran away. Or he was really killed as Li Datou said."

Mr. Fang had no choice but to say: "There are no garrison troops in the county. If the magistrate of Ye County did not send reinforcements to the Jinzhou Prefectural Guard Station, the county's defense strength would not be able to withstand the two thousand bandits. Ye County was occupied, and It’s normal. I just don’t know if the imperial court is aware of the situation in Jinzhou and should send troops to suppress it in time.”

Xu Qingying concluded: "In short, the situation is like this. I see that chaos is everywhere in Jinzhou, and refugees are running around. This year there is a lot of rain in the south, heavy snow in the north, and there is going to be a war. The imperial court is afraid that it will ignore its head. The chaos in Jinzhou may It will last for a long time. I just don’t know what the situation is like in Qianzhou.”

"It should be okay. It is said that half of the world is in the mountains, and half of it is in Qingzhong, Guizhou. The terrain in Qianzhou is complex, and it is full of miasmatic mountains and forests. The refugees should not be able to escape."

"The refugees can't get through, but we can't get through either."

"Hey, what's the use of talking about this, Aunt Xu... Young Master Xu said that he called us to think of a way, so we can't really become rebels, right?"

"If you ask me to call it a crime, forget it. At least I still had a hot meal at night."

"This is not a bandit anymore, this is a rebellion! Mr. Fang said that it is a grave crime to destroy the nine tribes!"

"No matter what you say, I have no choice anyway. It's better to just listen to Aunt Xu... No, little Mr. Xu has the final say. We will listen to whatever Mr. Xu says. Anyway, if you want me to make the decision, I will say no. come out!"

"Yes, Mr. Xu, we really don't know what to do. You can just discuss the outcome and we will just follow you!"

"You definitely can't be a rebel!" Xu Qingying smiled slightly and glanced at Team Leader Zhao next to her, "How dare you say you want to rebel in front of Team Leader Zhao?"

The man knew he had made a mistake and quickly rubbed his head and laughed awkwardly.

"That is to say, Team Leader Zhao and others are good to us and don't care about us. We can't make things difficult for Team Leader Zhao."

"Yes, yes, it must be, we are just talking angry words, if we dare to really rebel, we will risk our lives!"

"To be honest, joining the bandits now is just a temporary measure. The best way is to find a place to settle down. When the snow melts in spring or there are no more rogue bandits on the road, we can go to Qianzhou again." Xu Qingying turned her head and looked at Zhao The class leader asked him for his opinion, "Brother Zhao, what do you think?"

The rescue team had just saved their lives, but now only Xu Qingying was following the lead.

They almost lost their heads in the afternoon. If Miss Xu hadn't taken the risk and made up some random stuff and deceived Datou Li, they would have lost their heads long ago.

Therefore, Team Leader Zhao and the others became more and more polite to Xu Qingying, and there was even a hint of respect in their politeness.

This is a lifesaver!The benefactor who saved them from the edge of the knife!
"Sister Xu... Hey, I can't change my words. I might as well call you Brother Xu from now on." Bantou Zhao no longer has any airs to excuse himself. After this incident, he has become more approachable and sincerely considerate of everyone. Thinking about the future, "Miss Xu's method is naturally good. Whether it is you or us, everyone hopes to reach Qianzhou safely. But now that we have entered Li Datou's rogue army, how are we going to escape."

"I see that Li Datou is not a bad person except that he looks a bit fierce. He gave us the food tonight. We haven't had a full meal in a long time. Why don't we just send someone to negotiate with him? We don’t have this ambition, how about asking them to let us go?”

"No." Mr. Fang said, "There is blood everywhere on the ground in this city. It can be seen that they burned, killed and looted all the way in. If we rashly propose to leave, I am afraid that we will provoke Li Datou and kill him."

Xu Qingying also added: "I agree too. Li Datou is definitely afraid that we will sue the officials and leak secrets after we leave, and he probably won't let us leave like this. And I have a feeling that Li Datou is not an easy person to talk to, even if they This is a grass-roots team, and it cannot be underestimated if it can build a grass-roots team of more than 2000 people."

The person who spoke obviously didn't expect this level.

Even the Xu family members were anxious and looked at Xu Qingying, "Qingying, what do you think we should do?"

"I don't think of a way now. I see that their subordinates are almost all grass-roots soldiers. They are probably just a bunch of refugees. They have no fighting ability, but they can't stand up to their large numbers, more than 2000 people. So they fight hard. It’s definitely unrealistic and can only be outwitted.”

Everyone nodded, feeling that Xu Qingying's words were reasonable.

"We have just arrived and are not familiar with the situation, so we can only stay put for the time being. I think this way, when you go back, let your wives and children at home walk around with these people more and ask for information. Children, let them run around to see if there is anything. It’s within the trail. We will act accordingly.”

Mr. Fang frowned, "Zhenying, I heard Li Datou just now meant that they will send troops to attack the next county in a few days?"

This is the first time Xu Qingying has heard someone call her by this name in so long since she came to Zhou Dynasty.Mr. Fang remained calm and took her words to heart so much.

She was in a trance for a moment.

Then I felt a little excited again.

"Yes, I heard it just now. They brought more than 2000 refugees, and food was a big problem. I don't think they have any combat strategy. They just rob a city, and then rob it again when it is empty. I guess they only know How to rob, but don’t know how to defend, this is also an idea. When you see it, can you suggest that we defend the city——"

"That makes sense." Old Mrs. Fang nodded frequently, admiring Xu Qingying's attitude very much.

Although Xu Qingying's previous attitude as a thief was a little too attentive, he is not the kind of pedantic person, and he does not advocate the behavior of avoiding people due to misfortunes and fortunes, and not caring about life and death. .

Being able to save one's life is more important than anything else.

Seeing that Mrs. Fang also agreed, Xu Qingying made a decision and concluded, "Okay, let's do this for the time being, and give my wife and children some reassurance when I get back. We will act according to the situation. Don't panic, don't be anxious, the car will arrive at the mountain. There must be a way forward, at least we are still alive now, right?"

Everyone did as they were told and gradually dispersed back to their houses.

Mr. Fang stayed alone, waiting for everyone in the room to leave, until only Xu Qingying and Zhao Bantou were left, then he quietly dropped a bomb, "Hu Wei knows our identities."

what?
Leader Zhao's eyes widened in shock.

Xu Qingying was a little shocked at first, but then she looked calm, "I think he has been secretly sizing us up just now."

Mr. Fang glanced at her and said word by word: "I mean, Hu Wei knows my identity. He has come to see me just now. He claimed to have met me three years ago when I was the inspector of Jinzhou Prefecture."

Xu Qingying was really surprised this time. Looking at Mr. Fang's calm expression, Hu Wei must have found him with no ill intentions, otherwise Mr. Fang would not be as calm and composed as he is now.

Furthermore, since Hu Wei decided to help them hide his identity, does it mean that this person is useful?

Seeing Xu Qingying's thoughtful look on her face, Mr. Fang knew that Xu Qingying had figured out the joints and had to admire this woman's flexible mind.Xu Qingying looked at Mr. Fang with a smile, stopped playing riddles, and asked directly: "Then Mr. Fang must have tried his best to persuade him to help us escape?"

Mr. Fang coughed lowly and said, "Although this person is a scholar, I think he thinks outside the box, does things in an eclectic way, and does not pay attention to ethics. Do you dare to use this kind of person, Zhenying?"

Xu Qingying also said: "Yes, I see that although he is a scholar, he can put down his status as a scholar and bow down to the grass. This kind of person regards the rules and imperial power as nothing, and I am afraid he is very arrogant in his heart, which is really difficult to control. If If you say Li Datou is a knife, maybe Hu Wei is the mastermind behind it."

"That's exactly the reason." Mr. Fang nodded frequently, "But I also asked him how he fell into the hands of Li Datou. He only said that his hometown was also affected by the disaster. He originally wanted to seek refuge with his relatives in Ye County, but he didn't find his relatives. Instead, he was dragged to a banquet by a group of friends. The next day after he woke up from drunkenness, the city was destroyed and all his friends fled. He had no way to hide, so he had to find another way out by serving as a thief. "

Xu Qingying smiled, "How many truths does Military Master Hu have in his mouth?"

"I can't say for sure. I think that boy is very slippery. It would be great if two or three of his ten sentences are true. I'm afraid he will be difficult to deal with."

Captain Zhao finally came to his senses at this moment, "Are you talking about that dog-headed military advisor? Does he know our identities?"

"Not only do we know our identities, I'm afraid they even know our background."

Leader Zhao looked anxious, "What should we do?"

"What are you afraid of? Since he didn't expose our identity on the spot, it means that he has plans for us. If he has plans, then it's easy to start. He's not in a hurry. Why should we be in a hurry? It's better to be still than to move at this moment. Play with him and watch. What kind of tricks is he playing? Let all brothers not sleep too much these nights, and keep manpower on guard."

Looking at Xu Qingying with Chen Zhu on his chest, Team Leader Zhao finally calmed down. He stood up unconsciously and cupped his hands, "I'll do it now."

After I said it, I felt something was wrong.

Why is he looking more and more like Xu Qingying's servant now?

It's not good... Although Zhao Qiaonian is not as smart as Xu Qingying, he can't make money, he can't get into trouble, he can't bend and stretch like her, and he doesn't dare to fight and kill like her, but... but... but...

Zhao Qiaonian sighed, but what, he was nothing compared to Xu Qingying!

Forget it, for the sake of Xu Qingying saving his life several times, I'll let her go a few times for the time being.

After the meeting, Xu Qingying was ready to go home.

More than 20 members of the Xu family were crowded in this courtyard with three entrances and three exits. Considering safety issues, Xu Qingying did not dare to let everyone disperse.

There is one room for Huang and his eldest brother, and there are two rooms left, one for men and women.

A broken lantern was lit in the yard, illuminating the broken walls with a soft light. When the wind blew, the shadows of the trees swayed, making people a little scared for no reason.

Snow has stopped.

But the air was still very cold. Xu Qingying rubbed her hands and breathed out two breaths of white air unconsciously.

Walking up the steps, several people came towards me.

Xu Qingying looked through the dim light and saw that it was Xu Lezhi, Xu Fuwei, Xu Huizheng, Xu Minglu, Xu Huirong and others from the second room.

Except for Xu Yinxi, almost all the women in the second room were present.

They seemed to be waiting for Xu Qingying, standing on the steps with unkind expressions.

Xu Qingying raised her head and looked at them.

According to common sense, Xu Qingying should be afraid of them, but the other parties are all teenagers. The eldest is Xu Lezhi, who is only 13 years old. In his previous life, he was a kid in the first grade of junior high school. Such a bunch of carrots He stood in front of her with a sullen face, looking like he was going to accuse him, which was actually a bit ridiculous.

These people are here to cause trouble.

Mostly because of what she did to Xu Deyuan during the day.

She raised her head and asked knowingly, "Everyone, what's wrong?"

"Sixth sister." Xu Lezhi was finally willing to call her sister this time, but he gritted his teeth and said more sarcastically, "You embarrassed my father in public today. Should we give an explanation to our second wife?"

Xu Qingying covered her lips and smiled, her eyes moving, "If you don't embarrass him in public, could you embarrass him in private? Qimei, is that what you mean?"

"You are so silly! Don't change the subject. Today, we are here to ask you on behalf of the second room. As a junior, what crime do you deserve to fight against your elders?"

Xu Huizheng claimed to be the eldest son of the second wife, and felt that this was the moment to establish her authority. She shouted loudly: "Sixth sister, don't think that just because you have earned a few stinky money, you are superior to our second wife. I tell you, young teeth are in good order. There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. Since you have messed up the principles and ethics, don't blame me for dealing with you in the name of the future head of the Xu family."

Xu Qingying couldn't hold it back this time, and burst out laughing. Then she looked Xu Huizheng up and down. Xu Huizheng was so confused by her look that she scolded: "Presumptuous, what are you looking at?!"

"My cousin wants to be the future head of the family, so let's wait until his hair grows." Xu Qingying pushed everyone away mercilessly, her voice became colder, "Get out of the way!"

"I haven't finished speaking, don't leave!" Xu Lezhi grabbed her in a hurry, but as soon as he started, he accidentally grabbed Xu Qingying's hair.

Xu Qingying was in pain, and Xu Lezhi was a little frightened. She instinctively wanted to let go, but Xu Qingying moved faster. He grabbed her hair with a wave of his hand, then raised his foot and kicked her, hitting Xu Lezhi's knee. Xu Lezhi screamed. , half kneeling on the ground!

"You dare to hit me?!"

"I've beaten you, why don't you dare?"

This commotion woke up everyone in the house. At first, everyone in the Xu family thought they were playing around, but when they heard Xu Lezhi's cry, they pushed the door open one after another.

As soon as everyone in the Xu family saw the children from their second room surrounding Xu Qingying, they immediately knew that the second room was out for revenge because of what happened during the day. Lian became anxious and shouted: "Xu Lezhi, what are you doing?!"
