When I pushed the door... it didn't open, and there was a "bang" sound in the room, like a teacup falling to the ground and breaking into pieces.
A panicked voice sounded:
"who?"
Jiang Ming: "???"
This is my house, you ask me who I am?
Jiang Ming said angrily: "Zhou Wenxiu, you have become more capable!"
…
After a while, Zhou Wenxiu sat down in front of Jiang Ming with a slight blush, and said nonchalantly: "There is a chaos of war outside all day long. I'm afraid that the rebels will rush into the house at any time... You are Mr. Jiang of Hunting Tiger Village now, and there is no one around."
If I dare to break into your house... I just want to hide here for a while."
Jiang Ming was speechless, but he understood that no matter how powerful the Cangshan Army was and no matter how strict the military regulations were, they were still a mixed group of rebels, and all kinds of nasty things would probably happen along the way.
He glanced at the neat bed and the scattered floor beside it, and sighed: "It's not that I don't want you to live there, it's just that if you live here... your reputation will be completely ruined!"
"I don't care." Zhou Wenxiu said immediately: "What's the use of reputation? Sister Qingqing's reputation was so good last year. In the end, if the hero Zhang Shan hadn't saved her, she would have been almost kidnapped and tainted by the Shi family. She wouldn't have known about her.
Are you still alive now..."
Jiang Ming was speechless for a moment, and then said with a strange look in his eyes: "You seem to have great admiration for this hero Zhang Shan?"
"Of course!" Speaking of this person, Zhou Wenxiu's eyes seemed to be sparkling: "He is upright and bold, hates evil very much, and even killed that bastard Shi Junhong for me... I will definitely become a person like him in the future and kill everyone."
When you see evildoers, eradicate the injustice you see!”
Jiang Ming touched his nose and what else could he say besides nodding. I felt embarrassed to praise him...
"But you can't live in the same house with me. I'll find someone to build another house in the next two days..." Jiang Ming pointed to the floor and said casually.
Now, he is not Jiang Ming, the bitter herbal collector, but Mr. Jiang from Dayun Mansion Tiger Hunting Village. It is easy to appoint a few people.
"By the way, tell me about the military camp outside this town." Jiang Ming asked instead.
Zhou Wenxiu said quickly: "Not long after you entered the mountain, you heard that the Cangshan Army's 200,000 troops had left camp and set out to kill Dayun Mansion... There were many more people in the town. I heard that they all escaped from the city.
of."
"Half a month ago, Fucheng suddenly closed its gates and no entry or exit was allowed... Two days later, the Cangshan Army gradually arrived and set up camp fifty miles away!"
"As for Ping'an Town, I heard that it seems to be a supply camp, responsible for managing food, grass, vehicles and tools... Most of the time these days, everything is peaceful. There are a few soldiers who drank and acted violently in the town and raped civilian women.
After being beheaded by their leader, few people make trouble now..."
Jiang Ming nodded: "Do you know how the war is going?"
Zhou Wenxiu immediately shook his head: "I rarely go out now... I only heard that the attack on the city started two days ago. I don't know what the outcome was."
Jiang Ming didn't ask any more questions. After all, Dayun Mansion was one of the largest cities in the Yan Kingdom. It shouldn't be so quick to attack...
But... I wonder if the Shi family and the Old Snake Gang will wait for an opportunity to cooperate with the rebels outside the city...
Jiang Ming no longer thinks too much, as long as it doesn't affect him, he can just practice martial arts with peace of mind.
"It's just that I am already a second-rate martial artist. The Cow-hide Tiger Bone Technique can only be practiced to the second-rate level at best. If I want to break through to the first-rate level, I need to find another method..."
Yehuzhuang naturally has the secret to break through to the first-rate level, but if Jiang Ming asks for it, everything will be exposed. He has broken through to the second-rate level in just one year of practicing martial arts. If this news gets out, the troubles in the future will probably be stopped.
Can’t come down anymore…
"Things will go well if things are slow. This matter cannot be rushed..." Jiang Ming was lying on the bed, thinking to himself: "I wonder if this war can burn down a few first-class families, allowing me to take advantage of the troubled waters..."
Today's Jiang Ming can be regarded as an expert and bold man. As long as he doesn't encounter those few first-class warriors, he will not run wild in Dayun Mansion...
The next day.
Jiang Ming got up early and practiced the Cowhide and Tiger Bone Technique in the courtyard.
Now that he has entered the second-rate realm, he mainly practices internal breathing techniques, using the tiger's true intention to drive the blood energy to temper his skin and muscles. The external training methods do not require full strength, but he is not afraid of being discovered.
Zhou Wenxiu lit a fire in a corner of the yard to cook, while making the two kinds of medicinal soup for Jiang Ming...
After a while, a dense sound of footsteps came slowly from far to near.
You can also hear the kind and hearty laughter:
"Li Yong of Cangshan Army, please forgive me for disturbing me so much, fellow villagers..."
"The kitchen made a mistake today and made some extra soup and porridge. Don't be polite, just come and serve..."
I saw a handsome young man directing a few soldiers to place the soup bucket in the open space by the roadside, and warmly greeted the surrounding villagers.
"They've been like this every day these days..." Zhou Wenxiu came over and whispered: "But I don't dare to accept it."
"Everyone has received it, why should we not dare?" Jiang Ming looked at the people coming out of each house carrying bowls to serve porridge, and said with a smile: "Let's serve two bowls too."
While drinking the thick rice porridge of the rebels, Jiang Ming was thinking: "The rebels seem to have plenty of food and grass, and the rear area must be doing well. Maybe this approach of asking for life for the people without hurting them is still good after all."
It worked a little bit…”
Of course, the premise of all this is that the court has not responded to this yet.
After licking the last grain of rice, Jiang Ming threw the bowl to Zhou Wenxiu and walked to Lao Jiangtou's tavern, preparing to learn some information from the intelligence center in Ping'an Town...
"Still attacking the city!"
"We didn't capture it!"
"First-class warriors appeared in the city and fought back outside the city. The rebels suffered considerable losses..."
For several days in a row, Jiang Ming received the same news, but it was normal. In ancient times, it was normal for sieges to last for several months. There were even cases of cannibalism in the city after the siege lasted for more than a year...
But in Ping'an Town, everything was peaceful. After a few days of nervousness, the people began to live their lives as usual, or even a little better.
Because Li Yong came to deliver rice porridge every now and then, and he had a good relationship with the poor people in the town.
And he never went to those aristocratic families’ base here, and even sneered at those people. Even the old Snake Gang’s manager Dong wanted to get close to him, but he refused coldly...
One morning, Jiang Ming heard the footsteps of soldiers approaching again, and couldn't help but smile: "This man is quite interesting!"
Dang Dang!
"Folks, come out!"
Dang Dang Dang!
The sound of a gong suddenly sounded, making Jiang Ming frown. What happened?
