Longevity starts with learning

"Brother Mu, something big has happened!"

"Qili Village has rebelled, and all the brothers who went to Qili Village to perform corvée labor were killed!"

"We are going to war now!"

"It's over, I can't even swing my knife!"

"I won't die, I'm still so young..."

Xu Yuan was panicked, chattering beside Chu Mu.

Although Chu Mu's face was solemn, but vaguely, the suppressed excitement seemed to emerge again.

"Brother Mu, speak, aren't you afraid?"

Xu Yuan became more and more frightened, holding Chu Mu's hand tightly, refusing to let go.

"Shut up!"

Chu Mu said in a low voice:

"If you shake the morale of the army, be careful that the thousand households will chop you off first!"

Xu Yuan shrank his head, his face pale, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but obviously didn't dare to speak.

Chu Mu could not help but frown at the appearance of such a burden, but in the end, he calmed down and said:

"Follow me later, don't run around."

Xu Yuan nodded hurriedly.

Chu Mu took a deep breath, looked around, and also looked at the surrounding patrols.

When everyone understood the reason, the noise turned into the current dull atmosphere.

There were obviously many people who were afraid, but there were obviously exceptions.

For example, his team leader Li Gang, who had been gloomy these days, completely changed his expression at this time, and was excited. From time to time, he looked at the thousand households riding horses in the front. What he was thinking was almost clearly revealed.

After looking around, Chu Mu retracted his gaze. After the reason just now was spread, the patrols had already made things clear.

Chu Mu also had a clear thread in his mind about the cause of the matter.

In simple terms, the corvée was too heavy, and some people were unwilling to do it. In the excitement, they violently resisted the levy. Of the inspection team that went there, only one person escaped.

The only question about the matter is whether it was a resistance by a few people? Or did the whole village participate in it?

"Qili Village..."

Chu Mu silently recited the name of the village in his heart, but his brows were a little more solemn.

Although he had not left Nanshan Town, he still deliberately inquired and understood Qinghe County.

He had naturally heard of Qili Village. Qili Village belonged to Nanshan Town and was located in the mountains northwest of Nanshan Town. Because the road down the mountain was seven miles away, it was named Qili Village.

People in this era all lived by the mountains and water. Qili Village was located in the mountains, so naturally they lived by the mountains, and the folk customs were naturally extremely fierce.

Moreover, how could those who made a living in the mountains not have any self-defense skills.

What did hunting rely on?

Bows and arrows, traps...

These skills can deal with wild beasts in the mountains, so they can naturally deal with people!

In fact, they will be more effective.

Wild beasts will be more ferocious when they are injured.

People will be afraid of death, and they will be more afraid when they are injured.

Chu Mu silently looked at this patrol team.

There were about two hundred patrols, most of which were normal patrol configurations, with armor and a saber. The patrols that joined at the foot of the mountain were better equipped, some with shields, some with bows and arrows, and short crossbows.

The cavalrymen who followed the thousand households were even more armored and armed to the extreme.

This scene made Chu Mu feel a little relieved.

It is possible that they just entered the village to catch a few thieves, and the possibility of the whole village resisting together... is not great.

Even if the whole village was really forced to rebel, there should not be any big problems with his nearly two hundred fully armed patrols.

With heavy thoughts in mind, the mighty team also completely left Nanshan Town and entered the area that Chu Mu had not set foot on yet.

Although Nanshan Town is located in the mountains, there is a treasure mountain of iron ore, and the road out of the mountain is quite wide.

On both sides of the road, you can still see many terraces that have been cultivated by taking advantage of the mountain. Under the heavy snow, you can only see a rough outline.

Not long after leaving the town, you can also see many figures on the road, including working farmers and caravans pulling goods, but without exception, seeing this mighty team, they all hurriedly retreated to the sides of the road with fear on their faces.

It is not difficult to see that the identity of patrol inspector is obviously not welcome in Qinghe County.

Looking around, Chu Mu's thoughts returned, and he silently thought about the scenes he might face later and his own response methods.

The basic swordsmanship of each move was repeatedly practiced and recalled in his mind.

"Stop!"

After more than an hour, the team reached a mountain road, and Li Jinghong raised his hand to signal the team to stop.

"Be on guard!"

Captain He Ping shouted immediately.

Li Jinghong looked at the path leading into the mountain, and after a while, he said: "Send a few brothers with good skills to scout the mountain."

"Others, rest on the spot first, and distribute the dry food brought to the brothers, so that they can eat and drink enough first."

"Yes, sir."

He Ping responded immediately, called a few sergeants to give a few words, and then walked quickly towards the team where Chu Mu was.

"Be alert!"

"The captain is here."

Li Gang immediately became alert, gave a few instructions to Chu Mu and others, and hurried to greet He Ping.

"Captain."

"Take a few good hands and go to the mountain to scout first to see what the situation is in Qili Village."

After speaking, He Ping moved closer to Li Gang and whispered:

"Do it quickly. The captain personally gave the order. If you do it well, you will be in the eyes of the captain."

"Captain, don't worry."

Li Gang immediately promised: "Even if I risk my life, I will definitely do this job beautifully."

"Okay, hurry up."

Looking at the scene where Li Gang and He Ping were talking, Chu Mu couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.

Looking at Li Gang's look just now, it was obvious that he was trying his best to show his ability and make some achievements to fight for his future.

Now the captain came to find him...

Soon, Chu Mu's ominous premonition came true.

"The captain arranged for us to go into the mountains to investigate the situation in Qili Village. Who of you is willing to go with me?"

Li Gang was obviously still a little excited, and asked Chu Mu and others as he walked quickly.

After this question, the several inspectors who were chatting suddenly stopped talking. They looked at each other and kept silent.

Chu Mu naturally had no intention of showing off. Although he wanted to stand out, he was not at the point of risking his life.

He was not too worried that Li Gang would let him go. After all, he had just joined the inspection office not long ago and had not shown any outstanding qualities.

Of course, the most important thing was that Chu Mu had not yet entered their circle.

For this kind of thing, he would definitely call his own confidants, and it should have little to do with him.

Just as Chu Mu thought, in this situation, Li Gang's expression suddenly became gloomy, and then he directly called out names.

"Li Er, Wu Lengzi, Big Mouth, Three Legs, you guys come with me!"

"Captain, I won't go. You know my situation. I have old people above and young children below. I really can't afford to get into trouble..."

"Me too, I haven't even killed a chicken, how can I do this..."

"I..."

As soon as Li Gang finished speaking, the inspectors who were called out started to clamor.

Chu Mu pulled Xu Yuan back a little silently. This situation was beyond his expectation.

If Chu Mu remembered correctly, these people who were named were usually very close to Li Gang. Why did they fail at the critical moment?

Chu Mu glanced at Li Gang, whose face was livid, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

This Li Gang is a bit of a failure...

In this case, things are complicated...
