Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 244 Back

When Mr. Ke thought of this rebellious girl's ability to communicate with ghosts, her supernatural power that could lift a tripod, and the fact that Yang Yi stayed behind, he was not so worried anymore.

"Listen to your mother's arrangements." Ke Xiucai said, "In this case, we won't go far. We can just stop at the junction and wait for news."

Ke Muqing nodded and went out alone. She got three ox carts of supplies outside the city. After the Yang family and the Li family arrived, she handed the three ox carts to them and went back to the city alone to meet up with Yang Yi.

The news that the capital of Zhuang County was captured by the prefect of Long County and his men has spread to the county town. The common people are not actually panicked. The days when Zhuang County was occupied by the people of Weiwu Mountain have passed. The prefect is an official after all. The common people think that they can still survive under the jurisdiction of Weiwu Mountain, and they will not die under the hands of the officials.

On the first day, the people were not panicked at all because they thought so in their hearts.

But on the next day, after the city was captured, news leaked out that the county governor's men had forcibly plundered the people in the city.

Ke Mucheng took Yang Yi to the teahouse to drink tea and eat snacks. They heard passers-by mention that the people in the city were in a panic yesterday and many people died because of protecting their property from being stolen. The expressions of both of them sank slightly.

So sometimes officials are even worse than bandits.

When Yang Erzhu led his men to capture Zhuang County, he never harmed the common people, but the governor of Long County really did not take the lives of the common people seriously.

Not only valuables, but even a grain of rice or an egg would be taken. Whoever's house they searched would have everything taken away.

Not to mention the chickens and ducks raised at home, which were eaten by the officers and soldiers that night.

So on this day, the people in the county town began to panic, and after hearing the news, every household hurried home to find a place to hide their things.

By the afternoon, there was almost no one on the roads in the county town.

Judging from the time, the people from Weiwu Mountain should be arriving at the city soon.

It is necessary to rest and refresh your spirit after traveling all the way, so the people from Weiwu Mountain will take action either tomorrow daytime or tomorrow night.

In the afternoon, Ke Mucheng and Yang Yi did not leave the inn. Since there was nothing to do, Ke Mucheng went to bed early.

He slept until dawn, went to bed early and woke up early. When Ke Mucheng got dressed and went out of the room, he was still wondering if he could buy food on the street this morning.

Unexpectedly, Yang arrived earlier than him.

"Master, are you up?" Yang Yi was already downstairs. When he saw Ke Mucheng, he immediately stood up, unable to hide the smile on his face.

When Ke Mucheng saw him like this, he just stood there without moving, and Yang Yi walked up.

Then he lowered his voice and said, "I just received news from the people of Weiwu Mountain. The brothers of Weiwu Mountain have taken back the city and captured the eldest son of the governor of Long County alive!"

"The brothers from Weiwu Mountain arrived at the city yesterday and used fire balls to blow open the city gates at night and rushed in. Some rushed to rescue people, and some contacted the insiders and went directly to a courtyard to capture the eldest son of the governor of Long County. It's a pity that the governor did not lead his troops to Zhuang County this time, but it's good enough to capture the eldest son of the governor Lin Jun."

"Is there any news from Shu County?" Ke Mucheng asked.

"Not yet." Yang Yi said, "But I think it will be soon. General Chen only led his men to besiege the boss and his men. I think the border troops only have the conditions for siege, not for attack. General Chen must want to trap the boss and his men to death, and wait for them to surrender after they are cut off from water and food."

Yang Yi analyzed to Ke Muqing, "The primary mission of the border troops is to guard the border and prevent invasion from other countries. Now our country is in turmoil, and other countries are watching covetously. General Chen will not dare to mobilize too many troops to attack the people of Weiwu Mountain."

"Secondly, the earthquake in Shu County should have had a significant impact on the border troops. The border troops are not short of water, but they are definitely short of food. The imperial court is busy taking care of itself, and the soldiers stationed on the border should not be able to have full meals recently. If the soldiers are not full, they will not have much energy to fight."

"And now Shu County is in ruins everywhere, and Shu County is leaderless. The border troops may not be willing to take care of other people's affairs. It is possible that General Chen just wants to test the strength of Weiwu Mountain." After Yang Yi's analysis, Ke Muqing breathed a sigh of relief, "If you think so, the boss and the others should be safe."

Ke Muqing ate something and then went back to his room to relax.

After another nap, I felt aches all over my body. I got up, opened the window and looked out the street, and I found that there were many more passers-by than yesterday afternoon.

From this perspective, the people would rather have people from Weiwu Mountain be in charge of Zhuang County.

For several days, Ke Mucheng was waiting for news from Shu County.

Yang Yi's analysis certainly made her feel a little more at ease, but she couldn't be completely at ease.

After all, those analyses are based on the fact that General Chen has no ambition.

If General Chen also has the ambition to become king, then all the analysis will be invalid.

Things in Zhuang County were relatively stable. The military governor of Long County made great sacrifices to redeem his eldest son. The person who delivered the message to Ke Mucheng even brought Ke Mucheng a box of jewelry.

This seems to be how the days are, bad news comes one after another.

When good news comes, it comes one after another.

While Ke Mucheng and Yang Yi were still drinking tea in the teahouse and listening to passing merchants talking about the news in the city ahead and outside, people from Weiwu Mountain came running excitedly to the teahouse to find Ke Mucheng.

"Madam, my young master is back!"

Because there are other people in the teahouse, the people of Weiwu Mountain should call the three heads of Weiwu Mountain "Young Master".

When Ke Muqing heard this, he immediately put the teacup on the table and stood up suddenly, asking, "Where are they now?"

"In my hometown." The brothers from Weiwushan arrived.

Ke Muqing was overjoyed, "I'll go see them right away!"

My hometown means Weiwu Mountain.

"Yang Yi, you go and deliver the letter. Tell our family to pack up and come back." After saying this, Ke Mucheng left with the people from Weiwushan. After leaving the teahouse, Ke Mucheng borrowed a horse from Weiwushan and left the city.

Probably because they knew that Ke Mucheng would come as soon as he received the news, the two Yang Erzhu brothers did not go up the mountain. Instead, they stayed in the thatched hut, drinking tea and talking about things while waiting for Ke Mucheng.

Hearing the sound of galloping horses, the three of them got up and left the thatched hut and waited at the door.

"Auntie, you're here so quickly!" Zhu Er shouted so loudly from far away that even Ke Muqingma could hear his laughter before he stopped.

After the horse stopped, Zhu Er came over and led Ke Mucheng's horse.

"Are you all okay? Are you injured?" Ke Muqing sat on the horse and looked at the three people below. He glanced around and asked, "Why can't I see the young master of the Li family?"

"He took some of our brothers and stayed in Shu County." Yang Erzhu said.

Pei San bowed to Ke Muqing and said, "Thanks to the help of Auntie and the young master of the Li family, we were able to return safely without any troops and reach a cooperation agreement with General Chen."
