Yan Laoer didn't think much about it at first, but when his brother asked this question, he became unsure.
"Teacher, he...will come out of seclusion?"
Yan Laoer was confused and his expression was changing.
Yan Huaiwen asked in his heart why do you think not?
Their eldest man was a civil servant and the backbone of the herding and guarding of the border town.
Since taking office, he has devoted himself to building city defenses, but his efforts over the past few years have been completed due to Beirong's machinations. Two adults, Xiao and Zhang, have died, and tigers have filled the city with white flags. The chaos in the countryside has even worsened in the city...
If it had been anyone else, they might have swallowed their anger, endured the hardship, and left it to the future.
But Mr. Tian has a proud chest and cannot calm down.
There is no chance to pay it back. Now that God has given him this opportunity, how can he sit still and not come out?
The border troops and government offices were all at odds with the Beirong as deep as the sea.
Kill Beirong and seize cattle and sheep.
If you take one of the two, you can fight. If you have both, you will be unstoppable.
"Lord Tian leads the government officials to send out troops, which is justifiable. However, if you replace him with your identity, you can also do it. Master and disciple are one, and there is no blame."
Yan Huaiwen looked at the waiter who acted quiet and well-behaved.
"The waiter has been here once, so there should be no problem in leading the villagers into the mountains. After the two of you meet, it will not be difficult to act according to the orders of the border army and surround and kill a small group of Beirong troops."
"But you are in the village tonight, and you also said that you will take the villagers to walk from the mountains tomorrow. Master Tian's intention is clearly revealed..."
Yan Laoer subconsciously wanted to say that I had weakened the existence of the waiter. When he told the teacher, he was talking about Qi Si, but he immediately realized that, yes, not to mention the waiter, and Qi Si, there is no way to lead the way.
The question is, why should he go back to the village and take people there...
Why didn't he think of that?
Yan Laoer tried hard to recall the scene of the conversation between the teacher and him.
Natural, silky, smooth...
Teacher... As expected of a teacher, I really want to hide my thoughts without leaving any trace, which is really good.
If his elder brother hadn't pointed it out, he might have had to wait to meet outside the customs to learn the truth.
Picture that.
Will your jaw drop to the ground...
"Boy, can you draw the map?" Yan Huaiwen asked.
Yan Yu quickly took out her route map.
I was filled with admiration.
Her uncle's ability to make connections is so awesome!
This is how long Mr. Tian has been working. He is very accurate.
There was also this map. She didn't even need to ask, she knew that her little habits were noticed by her uncle.
"Where is this?" Yan Huaiwen is a roadhog, but he can see the pictures without any hindrance.
Yan Yu walked over and said: "The prepared fodder and the mules and donkey carts are temporarily put here, leaving some people to watch. The grassland is open and unobstructed. We'd better walk there and bring less things."
The cattle and sheep brought back to the mountains eat forage. There is no shortage of food for them on the grassland.
"Ouch, it's snowing!" Uncle Hu said as he looked out the window.
Yan Laoer came to his senses, walked to the window and raised the window higher, and saw snowflakes floating in the air and falling bit by bit.
"No wonder it's so heavy tonight. It looks like it won't stop snowing tomorrow." Village Chief Luo was a little worried: "Will there be a delay, or will everyone in the village be woken up now and leave early?"
Her uncle only raised his eyebrows at her, and Yan Yu understood.
"It takes more time in the mountains. Just walk faster on the grassland. There are two sections and enough time left. When Fourth Uncle Qi and I walked back last time, we still took a long detour, especially when we entered the grassland and it was so vast.
I didn't know where to go, so I had to find a random direction and move forward.
Those Beirong troops should be at this location. If we can go straight through the mountains, we can save a lot of distance."
Yan Yu pointed to another place on the map and said: "Here is the road that Fourth Uncle Qi and I walked when we came back. Follow this line and go straight to our village. Last time we walked in the mountains for two days, we walked again after leaving the mountains.
In two days, we walked on different roads. If we take the return road, we can save at least half a day. Of course, we walk very fast. Fourth Uncle Qi and I rode oxen and donkeys, and we seldom rested on the way."
Village Chief Luo said seriously: "That's no problem. I've already made an agreement with them. I don't dare to miss the scheduled time when I go back. If someone holds me back, waiter, you can send them back. You're welcome."
Yan Yu's thoughts are wandering. Even Grandpa Luo thinks her father will return to Huju, right? Then the army in the village cannot be without a leader for a day! Hahahaha, does she have to come?
"Grandpa Luo, I understand!" Yan Yu agreed sharply.
Yan Laoer looked at his brother and wondered whether he should go back to Huju City and watch the teacher carefully, and what nonsense he was doing.
Wu Wu dared to run outside the gate.
Yan Huaiwen tapped the map twice with his fingers.
"God bless you to stay, Huju Yamen and I will return to the city tomorrow.
Gu Feng had no choice but to let them go back on their own first, and then visit them later to say thank you.
It's useless for you to go to Mr. Tian's place. He really has made up his mind to go. Just being a teacher can make you shut up. It's hard to drag him away anymore..."
Yan Laoer was convinced.
Nodding vigorously.
That's it.
The day when the city was broken was an extraordinary time. Now the status of master and disciple is certain. Although the teacher is usually very talkative, eats whatever he gives, rests when he is told, and obeys everything, but when it comes to learning, something that must be strictly met,
That's not negotiable at all.
He has seen it before when the old man was stubborn, and it was difficult to dissuade him.
…
There are lush forests in the mountains, and the falling snow is gentle in the wind.
It's just snowing without strong wind, which is better than walking in wind and snow.
Yan Laoer rode an ox at the front, and Sanbao pulled a small cart behind him, which was full of things.
Qi Da and Qi Wu walked beside him with long strides. They were carrying iron-clad wooden sticks of the same style as Qi Si Xiaoer, and they were carrying baskets behind them. There were axes and knives in the baskets, which took up most of them.
place, and the remaining space was filled with dry food and meat.
The young men in the village followed their footsteps, one after another, walking very fast, and no one was left behind.
Several ladies in the team did the same. They tied their legs tightly and followed without saying a word of pain.
At the end of the team was a long team of mules and donkeys. On the day of departure, seeing that the snow was not stopping, half of the carts were replaced with sledges.
It is filled with food and fodder prepared by the village.
Except for the Qi brothers, no one else dared to carry the basket. They had to conserve their physical strength. Climbing the mountain was just the beginning. There were still tough battles ahead.
This last sentence was what the waiter kept repeating, and they all thought it made sense.
Therefore, the people of Xiaoan Village have nothing else on their bodies except weapons.
Yan Yu naturally had to postpone it.
On this cart and on the sledge were all the rations for their group, which was very important.
Therefore, she and Qi Si fell at the back of the team.
Her father was not walking slowly in the past, but there was still plenty of energy left for both Uncle Qi and her.
Yan Yu was really bored, so he let Gou Zhu out to bite the rabbit.
She and Fourth Uncle Qi took turns going out to meet him.
Just follow the dog's footsteps and chase after him. This dog is smart and usually won't run far. One big and one small follow the tail of the team, and they have a great time catching rabbits.
