Chapter 28 Discussing Countermeasures
After he finished speaking, a dazzling green light flashed all over his body, and his figure moved like a ghost before Li Li. in the body.

Immediately, Li Li felt a lot weaker. Within half a month, he could no longer use the power of astrology, unless someone with a higher level of cultivation than the elder lifted the seal.

At this moment, several people who were summoned by elder Li Chunshan also came forward and sealed all the power of the natal star images of the other people in Li Li's group.

"Put them in prison, Li Xiaoshan and Li Rui are in charge of the interrogation, pry open their mouths as soon as possible!" The elder's eyes flickered, scanning Li Li and his subordinates who were still under control, and turned his face to the side Li Xiaoshan, who was as big as a round basin, and Li Rui, who had several large moles on his face, said in a deep voice.

"Yes, elder! We will definitely pry their mouths open!" The two clasped their fists together and said in unison.

"Hey...the elders...let me interrogate them too. I'm good at this." The bald-headed Jingwei touched his bald forehead, gave Li Li a vicious look, and then looked at the elder Li Li with a pleading expression on his face. Chun Shan said with a hey smile.

"You still have other important things to do!" Li Chunshan refused him with a serious expression on his face.

Li Tian looked at the elder's deep expression, blinked his big eyes, and had no choice but to give up.

"Li Xiaoshan and Li Rui, you must greet Li Li fiercely!" The bald-headed Jingwei walked up to Li Xiaoshan and Li Rui after being rejected by the elder, and said with a serious expression on his face.

Li Xiaoshan and Li Rui nodded with a smile when they heard the words, they all knew what Li Tian was thinking.

"Everyone, the burning of the warehouse in Huzhai today must have something to do with Li Ba and his son and the forces of Qin. Moreover, there are still their spies in my Huzhai. Therefore, until the spies are found out, everyone should not go out, and don't go out. Don't use carrier pigeons to communicate with the outside world. If anyone uses carrier pigeons to communicate with the outside world during this period, they will be caught and punished as spies!" Li Chunshan looked at the clansmen majestically, and said in a deep voice.

"Follow the elder's orders!"

All the clansmen present looked at the elder and replied in unison.

Then, the clansmen dispersed with a heavy heart.

……

The heavy snow only stopped for a few hours. In the evening, the heavy snow fell from the gray sky again. The nine burnt warehouses in the northeast of Huzhai were quickly covered by heavy snow. It became a snow-white color, and there was no trace of scorching anymore.

However, no amount of snow can cover up the trauma in the hearts of the Huzhai people.

In the room in the elder's courtyard, Grandpa and Li Kang sat on the soft animal skin bed, facing each other, both of them were silent.

In the early morning, Li Chunshan ordered Li Li and the others to be imprisoned, sent his henchmen to interrogate them, and ordered them to closely monitor their compound.

At the same time, Li Chunshan also dispatched a large number of trusted bow and arrow masters to ambush all over Huzhai. As long as there are carrier pigeons flying from Huzhai, they will be shot directly to cut off the connection between Huzhai's unruly people and the outside world.

Of course, they would not shoot and kill the pigeons that flew from outside, or those that the elders had specially explained to them.

"Grandpa, according to the reports from the men I sent to monitor Li Li and the others, when the warehouse was burned last night, Li Li and the others stayed at home, which means that the thieves who burned the warehouse sneaked in from outside the Huzhai.

However, the hanging baskets at the four gates of Huzhai showed no signs of being used. How did these people sneak in?The grandson was puzzled.However, one thing is certain, the burning of the warehouse this time has absolutely nothing to do with Li Ba and the Qin people. Li Kang looked at Grandpa with wise eyes shining in his eyes, and broke the silence first.

There was light in Grandpa's eyes. Looking at the grandson in front of him, he felt a feeling of unfamiliarity: he analyzed the problem meticulously, and his thoughts were meticulous; The crisis is resolved invisible...

These are not comparable to the original cowardly Li Kang. Is it true that after a person has experienced life and death, his personality will change drastically?
Li Chunshan couldn't figure it out, but in the end he could only think: This is surviving a catastrophe, and there must be future blessings!This is all good fortune!

Li Chunshan was very happy for his grandson Li Kang to have all these changes. This relieved his depression and depression caused by the burning of the warehouse in Huzhai.

He looked at Li Kang with admiration on his face, and said seriously: "Since you asked, Grandpa will tell you the secret. However, this secret is no longer a secret after being leaked by Li Ba."

Li Kang's eyes were full of curiosity, he looked into Grandpa's eyes, and nodded seriously.

Li Chunshan continued with a serious expression on his face, "In addition to the four gates leading to the outside world in the south, east, west, and north of Huzhai, there is actually a secret road leading to the outside world. This secret road is only accessible to Huzhai. Only the owner of the village is qualified to know that the ancestors dug this secret passage in order to have a safe way out for Huzhai in the future when life and death are at stake. Unexpectedly... Li Ba, a traitor, was used to deal with the clansmen."

"So that's how it is!" Li Kang's star-bright eyes were full of light...

"Since this secret path has been used by Li Ba and the people of Qin, what is Grandpa going to do next?" He looked at Grandpa and asked.

"Destroy the secret passage to prevent the enemy from sneaking through the secret passage again!" Grandpa took a deep breath and sighed helplessly.

"Why don't you set up an ambush in the secret passage, and wait for the thieves to attack Huzhai again through the secret passage, and catch them all?" Li Kang expressed his suggestion with a look full of doubts.

Hearing this, Li Chunshan frowned and fell into deep thought...

"Kang'er, relying on Li Ba's cunning, I'm afraid that any trap we set up will be discovered by him, and relying on the power of the third prince of Qin, we won't lose money by stealing chickens, and the people we ambush will also suffer casualties." Li Ba With a serious look on Chun Shan's face, he said worriedly.

"Grandpa, even if Li Ba and the others discover the trap, at most they can't ambush them. You forgot... the last battle on Niutoushan, the third prince of Qin lost ten green star rank seven and two green star Jing Dayuan's subordinates. Now, he probably doesn't have many available soldiers. If Li Ba finds the trap by then, I think they will just run away in a hurry and never dare to fight us!"

Li Kang's eyes were full of determination, looking at Grandpa's eyes, analyzing.

"When that happens, it won't be too late for us to destroy the secret path!"

"Okay! Grandpa believes in you!" Li Chunshan didn't know what was going on. At this moment, he felt that everything Li Kang said was true, and there was no reason not to believe him.

……

Solved the matter of secret passage.

Then, Li Kang and Grandpa talked about solving the ration problem.

Nowadays, it is very difficult to hunt when the mountains are closed by heavy snow. The blood monsters in the mountains are more violent without food sources, and the people of the tribe enter the mountains to hunt. However, the issue of rations must be resolved, which concerns the lives of tens of thousands of Huzhai people. continue.

In the morning, after Li Chunshan put Li Li and others in prison, he called all the real power figures in Huzhai to discuss the countermeasures. After a long discussion, they finally decided:
I plan to borrow some meat from the seven nearby small villages that are attached to Huzhai, but there must not be much meat to borrow. After all, those villages are all small villages, and only those who can borrow them A small portion of meat;
At the same time, Li Chunshan and his clan decided to send a hunting team to go hunting in the mountains even when the snow was falling heavily. Even though they knew that hunting would not yield much in this season, it was better than nothing.

However, relying on these methods alone still cannot really solve the ration problem of Huzhai in this cold winter.

Grandfather stared at the charcoal stove in the room, looked at the bright red flames, and after a while, sighed: "Grandson, grandpa is going out for a few days. You should pay more attention to the affairs of Huzhai Hold on."

"Where are you going and how long are you going?" Li Kang's eyes were full of doubts. Why did Grandpa leave at the most difficult time in Huzhai?

"Go to Zhenbei General Chu Jixian, and the round trip will take up to five days." Li Chunshan said with a slight smile.

Li Kang was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Grandpa curiously, and then, Li Chunshan explained to him...

It turned out that Grandpa had saved the life of the current Zhenbei General Chu Jixian in his early years, and he wanted to borrow some food from Zhenbei General this time.

Zhenbei General Chu Jixian has millions of troops under his command, most of them are stationed at the gap of the Great Wall at the northern end of the Damian Mountains, and a small part are stationed at Dongfeng City in Beihuang County.

Because Yan State has been doing well in the past few years, the grain has been harvested abundantly, and the reserve of military rations must be very sufficient. Therefore, Grandfather thinks that it should be no problem to temporarily borrow a small amount of rations from Chu Jixian.

……

Two days later, a pitch-black carrier pigeon flapped its strong wings and flew from a distance, piercing the sky like a black arrow, and soon entered the sky above Huzhai, and entered all the bows and arrows ambushing in Huzhai In the eyes of the hand.

However, they did not shoot down the black carrier pigeon, because the elders had explained to them.

Soon, the pitch-black carrier pigeon landed in a courtyard with flapping wings, cooing muffledly. This courtyard was Li Li's courtyard.

At this time, a big man ran over, picked up the pitch-black carrier pigeon with both hands, and ran quickly towards the elder's courtyard.

Not long after, the bald Jingwei Li Tian held this robust pitch-black carrier pigeon and brought it to Li Kang.

Li Kang took the carrier pigeon, removed a small black round tube tied to its paw, and poured out a note from it.

He looked at the contents of the note, and suddenly, a cold smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

"Li Ba and his son, the debt you owe me, it's time to count the principal with interest!"
