White jade-like dishes, a whole large jar of fine salt and sugar, as well as iron pots, iron kitchen knives, as well as the foldable tent and warm sleeping bag, which of them can't be exchanged for money?
The large jar of fine salt and sugar alone was enough for each of them to buy half an acre of land.
It was a rare commodity. The folding tents and sleeping bags looked like they were not ordinary items at first sight. They were sold to wealthy businessmen, and it was expected that half an acre of land would be enough for one person.
Three iron pots, five kitchen knives, a hand-held military shovel and a hatchet, as well as the odds and ends of cups and bowls. Wouldn't it be nice to take each of them home for use?
Coupled with the huge bounty, why worry about not being rich?
As a result, the officers and soldiers of Hejian County were confused for a moment, and followed the eight officers and soldiers of Yi County, intending to stab Xu Yue and others in the back.
Unexpectedly, the sleeping kingfisher actually woke up and discovered their actions.
The officers and soldiers of Hejian County panicked for a moment and felt a little regretful.
But the work has been done, and it would be superfluous to say anything else. Looking back and waiting for Xu Yue and others to come back would be a dead end.
The eight officers and soldiers in Yi County were so angry that they drew their swords and prepared to kill the kingfisher!
It was so late and so fast that Kingfisher didn't know that his body's reaction was so fast, and he immediately threw out the talisman left by Xu Yue.
A dazzling golden light flashed, and all eight Yixian officers and soldiers were ejected at once. Several of them fell high into the yard and were knocked unconscious.
Such a change frightened the officers and soldiers of Hejian County. They were not firm in their stance to begin with, but when they saw this strange method, they were stunned for a moment and did not dare to step forward.
Kingfisher was also frightened by the power emanating from this small piece of paper, but his mind was unusually calm.
She immediately thought of the scene when Xu Da instigated a rebellion against this group of officers and soldiers. She had a clear mind and used Xu Yue's power to intimidate and coerce the officers and soldiers of Hejian County.
Fearing that Kingfisher still had such a talisman, the officers and soldiers of Hejian County immediately turned against each other, shifted all the blame to the officers and soldiers of Yi County, and tied up the eight people.
In this way, the three parties were in a stalemate until dawn, and from early morning to mid-afternoon. It was not until Xu Dalang came back that the dust settled.
Because he had been highly stressed for a long time, when he heard the movement of Xu Yue and others, Kingfisher's first reaction was to rush out with a kitchen knife.
It wasn't until I saw Xu Yue that I completely relaxed.
When Xu Yue learned the whole story, she couldn't help but look at the little girl in front of her with admiration.
"Kingfisher, you did a good job." Xu Yue said: "I will give you a credit this time. You can give me any reward you want. I will consider it as appropriate."
Kingfisher was proud and embarrassed. She scratched her head and said she would keep the reward for now and talk to Xu Yue when she thought about it.
Xu Yue responded and saw Kingfisher's red eyes and obviously abnormal excitement, and asked her to go back to the guest room to have a good rest. She didn't need to worry about the next thing.
Kingfisher nodded and returned to the room happily.
Xu Yue looked at the eight Yixian officers and soldiers who were tied up in the courtyard, and nodded to her father.
Xu Da stepped forward, and under the puzzled eyes of the eight officers and soldiers, he pulled out the weeds and rags from their mouths, and untied the ropes from their bodies.
"Let's take a step to talk." Xu Da raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, stared at the eight Yixian officers and soldiers, and walked out of the courtyard.
When the officers and soldiers of Yi County heard Xu Da's gentle tone, they thought he was going to give them and others a chance to explain, and they felt happy.
Several people came to a crooked-necked tree not far from the Wu family's house. The captain of the Yixian officers and soldiers said with a flattering smile:
"It's all a misunderstanding, and we are also deluded..."
As soon as the captain of the Yixian officers and soldiers started to speak, a stream of blood rushed out, drawing a perfect arc in the sky, and sprinkled in the remaining color of the sunset.
The remaining officers and soldiers seemed to sense something and froze one after another. They looked up in shock and saw the captain in front of them, his eyes wide open, falling down.
However, they were not given a chance to be frightened. The sword was unsheathed and an afterimage flashed among several people. When it stopped again, all the officers and soldiers beside them fell down and were no longer alive.
There were weeds all around the crooked neck tree. He held a yellow talisman between his jade fingers and lightly threw it into the weeds. Fire rose up and the tongues of fire licked the eight corpses and turned them into ashes.
After doing this, Xu Da took out his handkerchief and wiped the sword in his hand, carefully put it back into the scabbard, clapped his hands, held the sword and strode back to the Wu family's house.
Not seeing the eight officers and soldiers following them, Xu Yue and her father nodded and pointed to the food that had been prepared on the table. A family of five, three adults and two children, sat around the table and finished a simple meal together.
's dinner.
Zhao Jian followed the trembling men and looked at each other. One of them quickly slipped out of the yard, ran back quickly, and whispered a few words.
Suddenly, the faces of Zhao Jian and other subordinates all turned pale, and they looked at Zhao Jian for help, saying that they did not want Xu Da to "take a step to speak".
Zhao Jian glared at these subordinates fiercely, but in the end he was unwilling to let Xu Da take a step to talk to them. He waited for the family of five in the hall to finish dinner, took a deep breath, and walked in bravely.
As soon as he opened his mouth to say something, Xu Yue interrupted him first, "It goes without saying, what is past is past, and it will not be repeated next time."
Xu Jiajun is willing to give another chance to those who have returned from their lost ways.
After all, they still need these officers and soldiers.
Zhao Jian raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yue carefully for a while, making sure that what she said was not a lie, and felt even more ashamed.
He turned around and waved his hands to his subordinates who were looking at him eagerly, telling them to stay away and stop wandering around, causing an eyesore.
When the officers and soldiers saw this, they all gave a grateful fist to the hall and retreated.
After everyone retreated, only Xu Yue and a few people were left in the hall.
Xu Yue pointed to the bench next to her and asked Zhao Jian to sit down and discuss the matter of transporting food together.
But before that, Xu Dalang first told the information he had gathered.
Sun Ashan is still alive, but is ill. The disciples of the Huokang Gang are now managed by master and apprentice Yu Tiezhu, who are responsible for appeasing the people in the city.
As for the rebels who were not disciples of the Huokang Gang, they followed a ranger named Mo and were under his command, responsible for negotiating with the outside world and Yuan Song and other officers and soldiers.
The walkie-talkie cannot make contact because it is out of power.
Sun Ashan didn't know anything about the killing of merchants in the city. If Xu Dalang hadn't come to find him, Sun Ashan would still be grateful to his elder brother Mo for his help in dealing with Yuan Song.
But now that we know what Mo Youxia and others have done, it's not too late.
Sun Ashan also breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Xu Yue and others had arrived in Hejian County and were collecting food, grass and armaments.
He also handed over the management rights of the Huokang Gang disciples in Hejian County and let Xu Da take over.
Sun Ashan wanted to call Mo Youxia over to question him, but now he didn't know what the other party's purpose was, so Xu Dalang asked him to stay the same and not to alert others.
All we have to do is wait for the meeting by the Luoshui River in two days, and then we can see what these rangers are up to.
