Because the rebels will attack the last town around Anle Town today.
Once this town is captured, Anle Town will be surrounded.
The people of Anle Town were finally afraid.
After packing up their belongings, they all rushed towards Anle Village.
At this time, Anle Village was bustling with traffic and people.
Lin Jiuniang, who was standing on the second floor of her house, watched all this with a frown.
She had received the news last night.
The rebels are very fast and have captured many towns now. Their speed can be described as overwhelming.
Xu Yu and the others had met the rebels last night. Although they won, they also suffered a lot of losses.
Xu Yu sent her a message that there were many experts in the rebel army, so she told her to pay attention to her safety.
Marquis Yong'an will lead his men to attack soon, and now the transfer must be completed as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiuniang went downstairs and walked out of the house.
Immediately send an order for everyone to abandon their carriages, drive them out of Anle Village, and walk up Daqing Mountain.
Ordinary people, no one has an opinion.
But the people who were well off and owned carriages were clamoring to drive away.
"Why can't you go up in a carriage? Do you know how much stuff I brought?"
"Yes, I want to go up in a carriage, I don't want to walk."
…
Looking at the clamoring people, Lin Jiuniang looked at Lin Bei.
Lin Bei nodded and walked straight to the carriage that made the loudest noise.
They punched the man driving the carriage back into the carriage, then turned the direction of the carriage and asked people to drive out their carriage and the people together.
After this iron-blooded scene, everyone finally became quiet and did not dare to say anything anymore.
Lin Jiuniang looked indifferent, "If you don't want to walk up there, just turn around and leave. Don't bother me here."
"In addition, anyone who has not made it to Daqingshan after an hour will leave Anle Village immediately.
Daqingshan will no longer let people go up it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone became anxious.
The people walking quickened their movements.
The people in the carriage also jumped out of the carriage in a hurry, picked up their things and walked towards Daqingshan.
Soon, most of the people at the scene were missing.
Lin Jiuniang glanced around, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips.
He talks nicely but doesn't listen, but threatens instead.
When she was about to leave, a group of brightly dressed men walked toward her in a mighty manner.
"Ms. Lin."
Zhao Quanzhang shouted softly. Seeing her stop, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face:
"Ms. Lin, we have something we want to discuss with you."
After seeing that Lin Jiuniang was not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Ms. Lin, after some discussion among us, we want to leave Anle Town by water.
So we collected ten thousand taels of silver and wanted to ask Mrs. Lin to arrange a boat to take us away."
Seeing Lin Jiuniang's face darken, Zhao Quanzhang became nervous:
"Ms. Lin, don't you have enough money? I... we can raise the price. Just ask how much it costs."
Lin Jiuniang sneered, "Naive."
Zhao Quanzhang felt a little uneasy, "It's not safe to travel by land now, but it's relatively safe to take the waterway."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Ms. Lin, I didn't want to leave at first, but the rebels were too fierce.
Anle Town will be surrounded soon, and once it is surrounded, it will be a matter of time before Anle Town is captured."
"Ms. Lin, please forgive me, we just want to live."
Lin Jiuniang's lips curled up slightly, "If you want to leave or take the waterway, I won't stop you.
But I won’t risk my people with you, understand?”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Are you kidding, the waterway is safe?
Waterways are the most unsafe.
As soon as she left, the people behind Zhao Quanzhang started to make a fuss.
"What does she mean? If you have money, why don't you make it?"
"Yes, if she doesn't agree, how can we leave by boat? The rebels are about to attack."
"Zhao Quanzhang, if you ask again, we are willing to pay more."
…
Zhao Quanzhang glanced at them and said in a deep voice:
"Shut up and be quiet. If you make any more noise, I'm not polite."
After finishing speaking, he chased after Lin Jiuniang who was walking in front.
"Ms. Lin!"
Zhao Quanzhang stopped Lin Jiuniang with a serious expression:
"Can I take a moment to speak?"
Lin Jiuniang glanced around and slightly curled her lips:
"No need to excuse me, Boss Zhao. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"However, if Boss Zhao wants to say what he said before, I don't think it is necessary.
Boss Zhao has been traveling all over the country for many years. You should know that in troubled times, no matter which road you take, it is not safe.
What's more, can't you guess why Marquis Yong'an is eyeing Anle Town?"
Lin Jiuniang looked at him without revealing anything, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.
Zhao Quanzhang smiled bitterly.
"Of course I know, but this is our only way out."
Then, he looked around and said to Lin Jiuniang in a low tone:
"Ms. Lin, I suggest you leave Anle Town alone and give up.
I received news that Marquis Yong'an's army had now grown to 30,000 people and was gathering here.
Staying in Anle Town means death.
No matter how special the geographical environment of Daqingshan is, it cannot withstand so many rebels.
So, Madam Lin, give up, the 30,000-strong army cannot stop us!"
Lin Jiuniang smiled half-heartedly, "Boss Zhao's information is really well-informed."
Zhao Quanzhang was a little unnatural, but soon became serious:
"How can I say, I have been in business for so many years, and I have more or less connections.
Madam Lin, you have to decide this matter yourself.
I just received the news. If it had been earlier, I would have left first.
So, Madam Lin, please give me a price and see how much it costs to sail us away."
"Are you sure you really want to leave?" Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows.
As soon as Zhao Quanzhang saw her relenting, he knew something was going on and said excitedly:
"Yes, if you have any requests, Mrs. Lin, just ask."
Lin Jiuniang's lips curled up slightly, "Twenty thousand taels of silver, and another thirty thousand as a deposit.
You are not worthy of anyone. If the boat breaks down, the deposit will not be refunded. After it is settled, the boat will be returned to me intact and the deposit will be refunded to you."
Zhao Quanzhang was stunned.
Finally smiled bitterly:
"Ms. Lin, you want all our belongings.
There’s no boatman left. If you give me the boat, I won’t be able to drive it, so what’s the use?”
"No one is born with the ability to sail a boat. I will let someone teach you how to sail a boat in a few hours," Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows:
"Besides, you have quite a few men, are you still worried about not having a boatman?"
Zhao Quanzhang thought for a while and gritted his teeth:
"good!"
After collecting the money, Lin Jiuniang asked Lin Bei to accompany Gu Xiaobao and Zhao Quanzhang to pick up the boat.
Looking at the large stack of banknotes in her hand, the sarcasm in Lin Jiuniang's eyes deepened.
Lin Chengze walked over with a puzzled look on his face:
"Mom, why did you give the boat to them?"
"Why not?" Lin Jiuniang twitched her lips, "When the rebels come in, do you think we can save the ship?"
"This," Lin Jiuniang raised the banknote in her hand, "is just used to compensate for our losses, and they..."
Lin Jiuniang smiled meaningfully:
"I'm not sure whether their purpose can succeed."
Seeing that Lin Chengze still wanted to ask, Lin Jiuniang stopped talking and asked him to quickly help evacuate the people in Anle Village.
Now it's time to decorate the Anle Village.
As soon as tonight, or at the latest tomorrow night, Anle Village will welcome guests!
