After a pause, Bao Buping took a deep look at Wang Tiancheng and said: "Liu Mingsen's military formation and combat power are indeed not as outstanding as the elder brother said, but in terms of military training, his talent is really good.
You must know that everything he learned was obtained from his father, and it is already very rare to be able to do this."
Wang Tiancheng nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, "In this way, Liu Mingshan is indeed good. Unfortunately, no matter how good his military training talent is, he will not have a big future. After all, the army is a place that pays attention to military merit. Military training
No matter how good you are, you can't practice martial arts, and there is no big achievement to speak of."
Bao Buping didn't comment on anything, but sighed softly with regret, as if acquiescing to Wang Tiancheng's statement. As if he didn't want to mention this again, Bao Buping changed the subject and said: "Brother, regarding that Zhao Kai, what did the people sent there collect?
Any special news?"
Wang Tiancheng smiled slightly, as if remembering something interesting, and said: "There is one special news. That Zhao Kai goes to the private school in the village every day, and the teacher of the private school has a beautiful daughter, Nian Fang Er.
She has never been married.
It is said that I want to wait for Zhao Kai to grow up and marry into the Zhao family, which feels like raising someone to be a son-in-law."
"A son-in-law, haha!" Bao Buping smiled when he heard this, became a little interested, and said, "Have the two families gotten married?"
"No, but that daughter has rejected all the marriage proposals in the village!" Wang Tiancheng said with a smile.
"Okay, let's not talk about these irrelevant things!" Bao Buping straightened his expression and said: "This battle to win the fruit is related to the second brother's plan. We must win the beauty, know ourselves and the enemy, and then destroy them head-on, be honest and show courage.
."
Wang Tiancheng clenched his fists and said firmly: "We will definitely win. Whether it is you, me, my parents, or the elders in the clan, we will unswervingly support my second brother and you."
The hope of the Wang family lies in the second brother and you - how many times have I heard such words, haha. Bao Buping smiled lightly, hummed slightly, and looked out the window wordlessly.
He doesn't have much talent, but he can still stabilize the rear and help his second brother Wang Chengcai coordinate internal and external affairs.
One attack and one defense complement each other.
Outside the window, a sudden fire shot up into the sky, illuminating almost half of Nanhe Village in an instant.
Bao Buping stood up suddenly, looked at the fire, his face became solemn, and he softly uttered: "What a courageous person, he dares to burn down the granary of my Nanhe Village, what does he want to do..."
Fires soaring into the sky, villagers fetching water in a panic, screams of terror, and angry curses.
Bao Buping, the chief of Nanhe Village, stood in front of the house closest to the granary, watching all this calmly, as if he didn't care at all whether the fire could be extinguished.
A sturdy boy of fourteen or fifteen years old ran past Bao Buping with a bucket of water, bringing with him a gust of cool breeze.
After a few steps, the young man suddenly stopped his running steps, turned back to Bao Buping, and said angrily: "Damn wood, didn't you see that everyone else was putting out the fire? What do you mean by standing by and watching? If you become the chief, you are not
Are you from Nanhe Village?"
"Second son of the Fang family, what kind of tone are you talking to? Can you speak like this to the chief?" A voice came from behind the young man, with strong dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Wang Tiancheng..." Even though the speaker was standing behind the young man, the young man known as the second eldest son of the Fang family still knew who the voice belonged to. The young man's eyes became more angry, and he turned his head viciously, facing the same empty hand.
Wang Tiancheng, who seemed to have nothing to do with him, gritted his teeth and said: "The villain has succeeded, I don't have time to argue with you now, we will see, huh..."
After saying harsh words, the young man took the bucket and ran towards the granary without looking back. His home was nearby. If the granary was completely destroyed, his family would also suffer...
"The villain is successful?" Wang Tiancheng came behind Bao Buping, looked at the young man rushing towards the granary, and said with a strong mocking tone: "To target you like this, our young village chief, the former chief is really a gentleman.
."
"Actually, what he said is right..." Bao Buping said calmly, "There is a fire in the village granary. We should really go."
Wang Tiancheng said disapprovingly: "You are the chief now. It is not his turn to give instructions on what to do."
"Okay, let's not talk about this," Bao Buping said, "How is it? Have you found out?"
Wang Tiancheng shook his head, "The work was done very cleanly. It can be seen that he knows our village very well. He used wine, which is difficult to extinguish. If we delay for a while, even if it is extinguished, the food in the granary will not be edible."
Bao Buping's eyes dimmed slightly, he touched his nose involuntarily, and asked, "Isn't there a strong smell of wine in the air now?"
Wang Tiancheng was stunned when he heard this, his lips closed and he couldn't say a word.
"Haha..." Bao Buping smiled slightly and put down his hand, "It's just a casual talk, don't pay attention."
Looking up at the dark night sky, Bao Buping said jokingly: "It is said that when the moon is dark and the wind is high, murders and arson occur.
It's just perfect for tonight. I'm sure it wasn't Liu Mingshan's hand this time. He doesn't have the guts or the courage. It should be Zhao Kai. I don't know if the Zhao Kai who planned it has the guts to kill someone."
"I'm afraid not." Wang Tiancheng sneered and said, "The old man guarding the warehouse was just knocked unconscious. The blow was very light and the force was just enough to make the old man faint. There will be no sequelae."
Bao Buping nodded and said, "I hope so. Tell me, why did he burn down my Nanhe granary?"
Wang Tiancheng thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "The reason for making such a big noise is just to attract attention. However, if you think about it with your buttocks, you know that it is not simply to attract attention..."
With a sneer, Wang Tiancheng mocked: "However, no one has ever dared to make such a big fuss in the battle for the fruit. No rational person would do it so recklessly, let alone the chief of a village. Liu Mingshan is really over the top."
Life is getting better and better."
"I said, it's not Liu Mingshan..." Bao Buping frowned slightly, "Obviously, the second test of Zhao Kaizhou School is in a competition for results. He will definitely try to win at all costs. The leader is Ye Qian, not Liu Mingshan...
"
Wang Tiancheng shook his head and interrupted Bao Buping, "If you think about the second trial of Second Brother Zhou Xue, you will know that even if the boy named Zhao Kai really becomes the chief, without Liu Mingshan's cooperation, he will never be able to master Liu Mingshan.
The people from Donghe Village who were brought out by one hand."
"This is what's scary..." Bao Buping sighed slightly, "With Liu Mingshan's conservative and stable character, he actually agreed and carried out Ye Qian's plan to burn down our Nanhe granary..."
Bao Buping didn't finish what he said, but the meaning he revealed already made Wang Tiancheng's face change greatly.
"Haha..." Bao Buping chuckled, "In order to win a battle for results and to study in the state, he made such a big noise. Isn't he afraid of involving himself in it? Brother, what do you think?"
"That's right..." Wang Tiancheng's face turned even worse, "Our Nanhe Granary is also the authentic official warehouse of the imperial household department's revenue files. Although Liu Mingshan is stubborn, he is not stupid enough to agree to set fire to the official warehouse.
The point.”
"It's really a headache..." Bao Buping said, scanning the villagers who were busy putting out the fire in front of the granary, Bao Buping asked, "Brother, is that boy from the Bai family following that beggar?"
"Yes, I asked the boy from the Bai family to go there. He is good at hiding traces." Wang Tiancheng was slightly surprised when he heard this, "How did you know?"
Bao Buping gestured towards the crowd of rescuers and said, "Except for the boy from the Wang family and the fourth brother, all our people are inside."
"Well..." Wang Tiancheng casually glanced at the villagers putting out the fire and said casually, "Almost everyone in the village has come, and I don't know how long the fire will burn. It's really a headache.
If we drink water for one night, our people will suffer greatly in terms of energy and physical strength during the competition tomorrow. But fortunately, the other five villages are far behind us."
Bao Buping nodded slightly, and suddenly his face changed, "What did you say?"
"Huh?" Wang Tiancheng was stunned and said in surprise: "I just said it casually. It's impossible to burn our granary just to waste our energy and strength. It's too ridiculous."
Bao Buping's face turned ugly, "No, it's the previous sentence - 'Almost everyone in the village has come'..."
Wang Tiancheng asked puzzledly: "Is there any problem?"
His face changed, and Bao Buping said after a while: "In other words, those who can't come will still stay in the house."
Bao Buping murmured: "It's a dark and windy night, when people are killing people and setting fires. They have already set fires. Maybe they don't dare to kill people, but they still dare to kidnap people if they want to."
"No way..." Wang Tiancheng's face was also very ugly, and he insisted: "What are they kidnapping people for? Besides, even if they kidnap people, they have to kidnap the family members of our men to be useful. How could they possibly know about us?
Where is the house where my subordinates live..."
Bao Buping frowned and interrupted Wang Tiancheng, "Brother, don't deceive yourself. Have you forgotten that beggar? With him as an internal agent, nothing is impossible. Moreover, I'm afraid that boy from the Wang family has fallen into Liu Mingshan's hands.
, can’t come back.”
After a pause, Bao Buping said firmly: "Brother, gather the people and let them go home..."
"But..." Wang Tiancheng looked at the back of the young man he called the second eldest son of the Fang family, and said hesitantly, "The fire is so big, let our men go, let alone what the people in the village will think, even if
Even our subordinates may have objections.
Add to that the second son of the Fang family, and you will be very embarrassed. What's more, we can't even prove that the fire was really started by someone from Donghe Village, let alone the kidnapping..."
Bao Buping said calmly: "Sometimes, you don't need to give them any reason, they just need to accept the order, even if the order is wrong. Moreover, letting them go back now is just to make up for it. Maybe it is too late...
…”
Turning around and looking at the lights of various houses, Bao Buping murmured: "I hope I can make up for it..."
