It was after nightfall when she came back from Chang's house. Thinking of Chu Nanzhu's mother and son and Sang Kun waiting alone at home, she deliberately went to the teahouse to buy some mutton cakes and pastries when she went into the city. Only when she came back did she learn that Chu Nanzhu's mother and son had been killed by Jin.
Hui was taken to her home for the festival.
A large package of mutton cakes and pastries could only be left for Sang Kun alone.
Although Sang Qi and Sang Kun were bought slaves, she never thought of treating them as ordinary slaves. After getting along with them for a long time, she really felt that they were as close as her close friends.
As for the situation in Haining County, she didn't know what kind of situation it was at the moment, but Ji Cen'an led an army to rush to help, which undoubtedly made her anxious heart calm down a lot.
Even though she hadn't seen the pretty boy for more than half a month, she missed him even more.
Apart from being boring these days, the most unaccustomed thing is the inconvenience of communication.
Without advanced communication equipment, Lin Jinxiao and his sergeants fought with the Yulong Gang on the river all day long. Their whereabouts were unpredictable. Even writing a letter to convey the message in time was an extremely luxurious thing.
At this moment, she finally understood the reason why some people always said that in the past, cars and horses were slow and you could only love one person in your life.
With such backward conditions, it's hard to fall in love with someone but you have to endure the pain of separation and have nowhere to express your feelings. Isn't it slow?
After taking care of the little ones to sleep, she lay on the bed tossing and turning, thinking over and over about the possible situation of the little pretty face now.
If Du Sankui is really a pawn he uses to stabilize the situation, then he will definitely rush this man and the Yulong Gang bandits to Haining County before closing the net.
Like this, it will definitely take some time.
"Ahem, this damn pretty boy speaks affectionate words, but he has been out for so long without any news coming back. I wonder if he is thinking about me at this time?"
Chu Nanzhi put a hand against his chin and cursed secretly: "Even if he misses me, he doesn't miss those little treasures?"
Now that I am busy with the opening of the restaurant, I also have to take care of the little ones. If I had time to spare, I would have gone to Haining County with Ji Cen'an's army today.
Well, in the end, it was my mother who was seduced by him first.
This piece of shit.
In the large tent on the outskirts of Haining County, a bonfire was raging. Lin Jinxiao was sitting in front of the handsome case, holding a copy of the battle report that had just been sent in his hand and looking at it carefully. From time to time, he could hear bursts of "cracking" sounds of burning pine branches.
.
Suddenly a gust of cool wind blew into the tent, and he couldn't help but let out a long yawn.
Looking up, he saw Captain Chen Chuan walking straight in.
Hearing the yawn, Chen Chuan frowned and asked, "Sir, have you caught a cold?"
Lin Jinxiao shook his head calmly, looked at the bamboo tube in his hand, and asked softly: "Why don't Colonel Chen take a rest? We have to continue chasing Du Sankui tomorrow."
Chen Chuan respectfully handed the bamboo tube in his hand to him and replied solemnly: "This is the report sent by Li Dianshi and Mr. Zhu from Haining County overnight, saying that the Military Supervisor has led the reinforcements to Haining County.
Zheng Haichuan, the eastern governor of Pingning County, also led the garrison in the Beibu Gulf and rushed to Songhaikou, intending to stop Du Sankui's bandits."
"Who gave the order?"
Lin Jinxiao's expression suddenly changed, and he said with a sullen look on his face: "With the officers of our coastal defense battalion pursuing us, and the officers from the counties along the way intercepting us, why should a mere Yulong Gang bother the garrison of Pingning County to come?"
He has seen clearly these days. The wealthy gentry in the counties did not dare to support the Yulong Gang. They all organized the nursing homes of the government to join in with the officers and soldiers of the government to hunt down the Yulong Gang. They wanted to kill this person immediately.
.
Now even officials from Jiang Xueyi and Pingning County have joined in.
It can be seen that there is a lot of trouble in it.
He couldn't let these people get what they wanted.
His brows flickered, he looked at Chen Chuan, and solemnly ordered: "You pass my order to Li Ce and Zhu You'an overnight, asking Jiang Xueyi to leave his troops and return to Duanlong Mountain to continue supervising the construction of official roads and the recruitment of troops in Haikang County.
thing."
After a pause, he cracked his knuckled fingers, and then hesitantly said: "As for Zheng Haichuan's men, order them to return within fifty miles of Beibu Gulf immediately. If anyone dares to rush in for the sake of merit, he will be punished for colluding with the rebels."
"My lord, what do you mean by this? I heard that the imperial court also sent reinforcements."
Chen Chuan didn't understand what he meant and asked in a daze.
"This truth is not simple."
Lin Jinxiao raised his eyebrows: "I deliberately left the waterway for the Yulong Gang to make them retreat to Haining County. As the military supervisor of the coastal defense camp, it makes sense for Jiang Xueyi to lead the army to rescue. Zheng Haichuan is from Pingning County.
Postal Supervisor, now that the six eastern counties are no longer under his jurisdiction, why does he come to join in the fun?"
Chen Chuan seemed to understand some of the mysteries.
Lin Jinxiao continued angrily: "If he came to help sincerely, he should have led the Beibu Gulf garrison all the way west from Songhai to stop and kill the Yulong Gang bandits, instead of leading the army to block the estuary with great fanfare at this time. This is obviously
We must arouse the determination of Du Sankui and our coastal defense battalion to fight to the death and not allow him to escape into Haining County."
"The general understands, the general will immediately go and deliver the order."
Chen Chuan suddenly realized what he was doing and hurriedly turned around and rushed outside the tent.
Lin Jinxiao was extremely angry, but suddenly he thought of the beautiful figure standing on tiptoes and actively leaning towards him in the backyard of the county government office before leaving, and he suddenly felt much calmer.
Counting the time, he realized that it wouldn't be long before he could see her again, and he felt indescribably happy.
I don't know if after all this time apart, she had some changes in her heart and began to regret her own proactive flattery.
I hope that when I see her again, she can take the initiative to throw herself into my arms like last time.
There were only a few dozen miles left from the entrance of Songhai. Under the dim moonlight, a group of sneaky figures walked cautiously along the Donghua River, fearing to make any noise.
"Boss Du, I asked someone to catch some fish. Let's make a fire and roast them, shall we?"
"What the hell are you talking about? You want to attract soldiers to pursue you, so that you can kill labor and management."
The burly Du Sankui scolded the obedient figure in front of him, and then lowered his voice and ordered: "Let the brothers make do with it. It's not like I haven't had a hard time before, and I still care about the raw food."
"But boss, we can't keep hiding here and there like this. Now the government has classified our Yulong Gang as collaborators and bandits. Those villains who take advantage of the situation not only don't respond and support us, but follow the government.
Chasing and intercepting our Yulong Gang."
"This bastard Lin Jinxiao is so evil. Since he said that our Yulong Gang is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, we simply surrendered to the Dongsang people without any hesitation. As he wished, we will follow the Dongsang thieves to rob homes and houses."
, eat meat in large quantities and share gold and silver."
Du Sankui clenched his fist viciously.
I thought I would use this land equalization order to inspire people and strengthen the momentum of the Yulong Gang to carry out large-scale activities. Maybe I could become a local emperor in the future. I never thought that I would just rely on a sneak attack in Haiyuan Village to achieve a great victory, and then sing all the way.
decline.
Not only did they not receive any reinforcements, but they were jointly blocked by officers, soldiers and gentry from various counties, resulting in heavy losses. This rebellion may not be possible.
Du Sankui scolded Lin Jinxiao's eighteenth generation ancestor in his heart. Looking at the depressed group of brothers around him, he clenched his fists and said loudly: "Even if we go back now, it will be a dead end. The only way is to retreat to Haining County and Dongfang County."
Only with the help of the San people can we have a chance of survival."
After saying that, he immediately ordered to the minions around him: "Send people to Haining County overnight to find the Dongsang people who were previously in contact with the Yulong Gang, and ask them to send people to the sea to respond."
"But how come I heard that the garrison in Beibu Gulf has stopped me at Songhaikou?"
"Pingning County garrison?"
Du Sankui clenched his fists and shook his head firmly: "Impossible, these dog officials are eager for me to escape, so how can they watch me fall into Lin Jinxiao's hands, unless they also want to confront our Yulong Gang head-on."
"Maybe they want to use Lin Jinxiao's help to stop our Yulong Gang."
The boy analyzed it carefully, but as soon as he said the words, Du Sankui kicked him impatiently: "Where did so many come from? Maybe it was because of you that labor and management failed to kill that bitch Lin Jinxiao.
, which led to the failure of this operation. No matter what, you will die, why not find a way out and quickly send more people to Haining County."
"yes."
After the boy finished answering, he immediately went to order the men to head towards the sea overnight.
