161: Chaos in Xiaocheng (1) [seeking monthly ticket]
"No matter what it is, the smoke is always not a good sign." Chu Yao looked dimly at the direction where the first smoke rose. Before he could deeply express his feelings, he saw Qishan taking off his coat and handing it to him from the corner of his eye. It was given to Shen Tang and he snatched it away.
Qishan frowned: "What are you doing?"
Chu Yao asked: "What are you doing?"
Shen Tang, who was about to reach out to pick it up, looked at Qi Shan who was grabbed by Chu Yao's wrist and questioned the two of them.
"...What are you doing?"
Gong Shuwu: "..."
Ah, that feeling of being completely ignored is back.
Qi Shan understood Chu Yao's intention in just a moment, twitched the corner of his mouth, pointed at Shen Tang and asked Chu Yao.
"Do you really believe it?"
So it's taboo for him, a "foreign man", to take the initiative to borrow clothes?
This is really unnecessary.
If Qi Shan was still doubtful before today, after today he no longer believes Shen Tang's nonsense.
Let me ask, which family’s daughter can be like this?
Even if there is an example like Lin Feng, which proves that women can also open up the Dan Mansion, but what kind of painting style does he have, and what kind of painting style does Shen Xiaolangjun have? It is really beyond the scope of his knowledge. Therefore, Chu Yao's reaction was that he It seems a bit "unreasonable"!
Chu Yao's face was expressionless: "One-nine."
One part of the letter, nine parts of the doubt. This part of the belief was given for the sake of the destiny filter. The reason for blocking him was simple - he disliked Qi Shan's shirt as dirty.
Qishan: "..."
Chu Yao explained again: "Your clothes are stained with blood."
It was hard to see because the clothes were dark in color, but Qishan's body did exude a faint smell of blood. If you get closer, you can see blood seeping from the inside out, even on his outer shirt.
Chu Yao was slightly surprised: "When did you get injured?"
Shen Tang also looked over after hearing this.
His eyes flickered with worry and a bit of confusion.
Although Wenxin Scholar did not have much fighting power, Qi Shan's swordsmanship and speech skills made it difficult for ordinary soldiers to catch him. We just fought, and Qi Shan was so far away from the central battle circle. Where did he get injured? The key is that the coat is intact...
There is only one possibility - Qishan's body was injured early in the morning, and because it accidentally burst, blood seeped out and stained his clothes.
Qi Shan frowned calmly and put his coat back on his body nonchalantly: "I'm not injured. I probably didn't pay attention when I rushed over and was splashed with the blood of some unlucky guy."
Chu Yao took a closer look at Qi Shan's expression, and found that it was indeed rosy, healthy and complex. There was no sign of enduring the pain. He ignored some doubts. He took off his coat and put it on Shen Tang - no matter whether it was Wuniang or Wu Niang. Wu Lang, with a slightly exposed collar and tattered clothes, looked unseemly, so Shen Tang did not refuse.
She yawned sleepily.
There was a strange flush on her face, and her head moved a little bit, as if she would fall asleep in the next breath. With previous experience, Chu Yao knew that she was about to sober up, so he said: "If Wulang is sleepy, first find a place to sleep." You can sleep somewhere and leave the rest to me."
Shen Tang did not respond but steeled herself and walked around Gong Shuwu three times, making the latter look confused. She was convinced that her "treasure" was still there, and the enemies who came to intercept the "treasure" were also beaten. After running, Shen Tang nodded in relief and stretched out.
In the next breath, he closed his eyes on the spot under the surprised gazes of the three people.
Qishan: "..."
Chu Yao: "..."
Gong Shuwu: "..."
After a while, there was a gentle snoring sound. It was outrageous enough to get drunk immediately, but he didn't expect that there was also an operation to fall asleep standing up. Gong Shuwu was so shocked that he didn't even have time to ask Shen Tang what he meant by walking around him. Then His eyes looked a little strange.
After being stunned for several breaths, he asked in a daze: "Two gentlemen, this, this... what should... be done???"
There were only four of them...oh no, three.
With such a small manpower, even if he regains his military strength and soldiers, he still can't move so much tax money, and the target of tax money is too big, and if he doesn't guarantee that Captain Yang will lead his troops to kill him, the tax money will be intercepted, and the limelight will be tight recently.
It's not easy to handle either.
It's a hot potato, it's hard to pick it up.
Chu Yao and Chu Yao looked at each other.
They had planned for so long, so they naturally took this situation into consideration and "hid" the tax money. This place is remote and sparsely populated, so it is not easy to be discovered. Even if Duwei Yang and the others came back, they would never have thought that the tax money would still be there.
near the ground.
If any "gangster" gets such a large amount of wealth, who wouldn't move it and hide it immediately? Isn't this just a nightmare?
Wait until the limelight has passed before secretly transferring the tax money.
Gong Shuwu did not raise any doubts about this. In his opinion, this was also the best solution at the moment. Hiding nearby was much less laborious and more efficient than moving.
At the same time, Captain Yang and others also led the defeated soldiers and hurried towards Xiaocheng. The atmosphere was solemn along the way. Even the most trusted subordinates did not dare to take a breath for fear of accidentally offending them.
Duwei Yang is very sensitive.
After walking for two hours, the morning light in the east was slightly bright.
Captain Yang was so tired that his eyes were bloodshot, but he also knew that the soldiers could not endure it. If they rushed on regardless, even if they returned to Xiaocheng as quickly as possible or encountered the enemy on the way, hundreds of tired soldiers would be nothing more.
Give merit to the enemy!
I had no choice but to rest on the spot by a stream.
"Captain Yang——" At this time, Zhai Huanwen had recovered less than half of his energy, and his complexion looked much better than when he retreated last night.
"Mr. Zhai." Duwei Yang changed his previous arrogant and arrogant attitude and became more respectful and grateful. This behavior was not hypocritical. If Zhai Huan had not helped him several times yesterday, let alone his little life, he would have been
Even the soldiers can't protect so many.
Zhai Huan asked: "Yesterday's wolf smoke was..."
Captain Yang didn't hide anything, and replied in a deep voice: "That's information about the desperate plan to return to the Sibao County and Prefecture capital at all costs."
After retreating and escaping earlier, Zhai Huan and his two men had no need to follow the remnant soldiers. After all, this was beyond the scope of their entrustment, but the two young men came anyway.
It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to provide help when it's time.
Captain Yang is not an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, so he will naturally not use his previous attitude again.
Zhai Huan was surprised: "Is Xiaocheng in trouble?"
Captain Yang nodded solemnly.
Zhai Le, who was on one side, heard this and his handsome face sank.
Although the information that beacon smoke can convey is very limited, the situation is serious enough that it is necessary to send out such beacon smoke to recall the soldiers stationed outside. From this, we can also deduce one thing -
The number of enemies has exceeded the garrison!
If we take into account that the garrison still has the home field advantage of defending the city, then when the gap between the enemy's and our own forces is not big, it will not be enough to raise the smoke. It can be speculated that the number of enemy troops may be three or five times that of our army... This
The number of troops...
Returning aid is tantamount to committing suicide.
Zhai Huan asked: "What force is it?"
Captain Yang rubbed his face fiercely with both hands, trying to cheer himself up - he had spent too much yesterday and suffered internal injuries from the gangster, so his current condition was not much better than that of "at the end of a strong crossbow".
