The officers and soldiers asked: "You are a rebel leader, why should we trust you?"
Xu Yue smiled slightly, turned to Wen Qing and others and said, "Bring out a sack and give them the weapons."
Xu Yue nodded at Xu Dalang behind her, "Go and send it off."
She discovered that both groups of officers and soldiers knew the identities of her and her two nephews, but they did not know who the two men beside her were.
When Wen Qing and others heard this, although they were puzzled, they still followed the leader's instructions, threw their weapons into a sack, and handed them to Xu Dalang.
Xu Dalang carried a heavy bag of weapons and walked towards the officers and soldiers in front of him expressionlessly.
The officers and soldiers of Hejian County really didn't know that the tall man walking towards them and others at this moment was the notorious Xu Family Army Major General Xu Mo.
Looking at Xu Da, he only thought he was a member of the Guangming Temple, responsible for taking care of the two sons of gods.
There is no other reason than that both of them have been specially dressed up and neither looks like their original appearance. Even their temperaments have changed with their outfits. Unless you are someone who is particularly familiar with them, it will be difficult to recognize them at a glance.
Xu Dalang threw the sack under the horse and walked back calmly.
The officers and soldiers of Hejian County looked at each other in surprise. Two of them glanced at Xu Yue and others warily. Seeing that they didn't want to fight, they got off their horses and came to the sack. They checked the weapons in the bag.
With just one glance, the eyes of the two officers and soldiers lit up. These bags were filled with fine steel knives!
He turned back and nodded to the leader, "Sir, they are all good swords!"
When the leading officer and soldier captain heard the report from his subordinates, he looked at Xu Yue standing in front of the bullock cart with an indifferent expression, and his mind was full of incomprehension.
However, without weapons, the sense of oppression caused by the twenty people in front of him disappeared instantly, making him feel a little more secure.
The officers and soldiers of Hejian County hesitated for a moment, then nodded and threw two rolls of hemp rope to Xu Yue, "Tie them up and leave only the driver behind."
Xu Yue didn't talk nonsense and motioned to Wen Qing to take the rope.
The members stared at these officers and soldiers with vigilance, silently put their hands behind their backs, and asked their companions to tie them up.
Wen Qing didn't know how to tie the rope, so it took him a long time to finish it.
At this time, eight officers and soldiers from Yixian County saw the situation taking an unexpected turn and shouted hurriedly:
"What do you mean? These are the rebels. Do you believe what they say?!"
The captain of the officers and soldiers of Hejian County glanced at his colleagues on the other side, as if he did not want to stalemate the relationship between the two parties. He signaled to the leader of the other side, and the two left the team and went around Xu Yue and others to meet at the roadside.
The two of them whispered to each other and discussed in low voices. After a while, the two parties merged into a team, and they decided to escort Xu Yue and others to Hejian County together.
As for the reward afterward, judging from how harmonious they are now, it seems that both parties have already discussed it and are very satisfied with the current distribution plan.
Xu Yue was not surprised that these two parties would meet up.
Wen Qing left two members to drive the carriage, tied the hands of the rest of his companions, and at the urging of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, tied them all to a rope.
Wen Qing was speechless the whole time, thinking to himself that this little hemp rope could tie up the members, but it couldn't tie up the leader and his family.
The officers and soldiers obviously did not realize what kind of person the leader of the Xu family army was. After seeing Wen Qing tie up the members of the troupe, he signaled to him to tie up Xu Yue.
Wen Qing didn't move, Xu Yue laughed out loud: "Huh? You still want to tie me up?"
The captain of the officers and soldiers was silent, staring at Xu Yue gloomily, and was mocked by her laughter.
"It's almost done, don't go too far." Xu Yue took the rope from Wen Qing's hand, pulled it lightly, and broke it, as easily as if she was pulling a hair.
The officers and soldiers took a deep breath and raised their weapons again, fearing that Xu Yue would suddenly explode.
However, it didn't.
She just threw the broken hemp rope in her hand on the ground, jumped on the bullock cart, and urged with a smile: "Let's go, you lead the way."
"Since we agreed to cooperate, I will abide by the rules and not cause you any trouble, but I also hope you will be wise. It is not that you caught me, but that I let you catch me. Do you understand?"
After saying this, Xu Yue smiled at the two little nephews behind her, reassured them not to be afraid, and signaled her brother Xu Dalang beside her to pick up the reins and prepare to set off.
The officers and soldiers on both sides had dark faces. Seeing that Xu Yue and others had no consciousness of being wanted criminals, they felt extremely depressed.
But having said that, Xu Yue's words were not wrong at all. She was the one who asked them to arrest her.
Thinking about the bounty, the officers and soldiers endured it. A total of twenty-six people were divided into two columns, surrounded by three bullock carts, and "escorted" Xu Yue and others towards Hejian County.
However, looking at the leisurely and comfortable appearance of these "prisoners" behind them, the officers and soldiers always felt that something was not right.
It seemed that they were escorting the prisoners, but judging from the prisoners' reactions, it seemed as if they had invited officers and soldiers to escort them.
Zhao Jian, the captain of the Hejian County officers and soldiers, frowned deeply, with a look of confusion in his eyes. They seemed to be completely led by the other party.
But the situation was irreversible. Although the leader of the Xu family army did not leave a single weapon on his body, she just sat on the bullock cart and raised her eyes lightly, so that he did not dare to act rashly.
"Brother, what do you call me?"
As if aware of his fearful gaze, Xu Yue, who was sitting on the bullock cart, asked with a smile.
Zhao Jian glanced at her coldly, but the other party seemed not to be affected by his coldness at all, waiting for his answer with a smile.
The look in his eyes made Zhao Jian's spine numb. After all, he couldn't resist it and replied with two words: "Zhao Jian!"
"Which sword? The long sword or the arrow?" Xu Yue asked sincerely.
Zhao Jian thought to himself, do you still want to ask if you are a bitch?
However, the other party's eyes looked too sincere. Zhao Jian only said the sarcasm in his heart, but still replied impatiently:
"Be healthy and healthy!"
Xu Yue raised her eyebrows in surprise, as if she had discovered some new world, "Brother Zhao, are you literate?"
Zhao Jian frowned so hard that he could pinch a cow to death, and snorted from his nose, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Xu Yue laughed. If he hadn't seen her pulling a thick hemp rope with her bare hands, Zhao Jian would have thought she was a pretty girl from a wealthy family who didn't know much about the world.
"It's difficult for ordinary people to read. So, Brother Zhao, you are still a noble?"
It was obviously a good word and a normal tone, but Zhao Jian felt that Xu Yue was ridiculing him.
Even if he had not personally experienced Xu Jiajun's cruelty to the nobles, he already felt suffocated just by listening to the descriptions of the nobles tricked from Youzhou.
They want land and land but also need to liquidate. The Xu family army simply wants to uproot the nobles and deny people a way to survive!
