Zhu Bai smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, brother, as long as you put up the flag of the Guanya Bureau, no one will dare to come."
The stationmasters of the Guanya Bureau are all from the rank of guard corporal or above.
Zhu Bai asked the webmaster to find a suitable place, and the webmaster would naturally choose the position that is easiest to defend.
Just like here, the originally wide road was narrowed by a hill and Maoshan.
The inn was chosen on the hillside opposite Maoshan Mountain, which is also the highest point in this area outside Maoshan Mountain.
If someone wants to make a sneak attack, they will be spotted by the sentries at the inn and call the police. Then the guards at the inn will be condescending and fire thousands of arrows.
Zhu Biao had never fought in a war and had not learned any art of war, so he naturally could not tell.
It's hard for him to say that Zhu Bai is too confident.
Moreover, it was already dark, and the mountains here were endless, and he would not be able to get out for a while. He could only suppress his uneasiness and stay.
Once inside, he understood why Zhu Bai didn't want so many people following him. Including the original guards, this inn could only accommodate a maximum of two hundred people.
Their current group plus the Guanya Bureau freighters who came from various places today and settled here are just right.
Another good thing about the inn in Guanya Bureau is that there is never a shortage of things. No matter what you are missing, you just need to say hello to the escort who is staying overnight, and those who come back from the other direction the next day will bring it over.
Anyway, everyone is the same boss and the settlement is unified.
Dinner was rabbit and pheasant that they brought from the Maoshan Mountain behind.
Roasted until fragrant, golden, sizzling and oily.
Zhu Bai ate very happily.
Suddenly I heard someone knocking on the door outside.
According to the rules of the Guanya Bureau Inn, in order to ensure the safety of the goods, it closes its doors after dark.
If you want to enter the station again, you can only put the seal and the sample of the escorted goods in a basket hanging from the wall, and let the foreman on night duty check to make sure they are correct before entering.
This also prevents people from sneaking in and looting.
The person who knocked on the door said he had paperwork to be delivered to the General Dental Bureau.
After the guard checked the seal and documents and confirmed that there were only two people on the other side and there were no signs of an ambush nearby, he opened the door and let the other party in.
When the other party came in and saw Zhu Bai, he didn't say anything.
Zhu Bai, who was happily eating roast rabbit, raised his head and glanced at the two people.
The two men were of medium build, in their thirties. They were thin, short, dark and rough-skinned, with a slight hunchback.
The Guanya Bureau knows that Zhu Bai has certain requirements for appearance, so the newcomers are carefully selected. Although they don't need to be handsome, they at least look pleasing to the eye.
These two definitely don't meet the requirements.
After the guard closed the door, Zhu Bai raised his chin to the people around him.
Several guards rushed up and held down the two people just now.
The other guards silently stood in front of Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao.
The two people who were pinned down kept shouting: "Hey, hey, hey, we are all from the Guanya Bureau, why are you so rude?"
"We arrested the wrong person, we arrested the wrong person. We are our own people."
Zhu Bai winked at Hu Dafa.
Hu Dafa walked over slowly and said: "Everyone in the Guanya Bureau knows me. Because the first thing a new recruit has to do is come to the General Bureau to report to me. How come I have never seen you before?"
The two people hurriedly said: "We just came to report to you."
Hu Dafa sneered: "Fart, I just tried it in one sentence. Newcomers must report to His Highness King Xiang. You don't even know this."
Only then did everyone move aside, revealing Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai smiled at them and said: "Tell me, where did you get the seal of my official tooth bureau? If you tell me honestly, you will suffer less."
The two people still wanted to deny it: "It's unfair. We are indeed newcomers to the Changzhou Guanya Bureau."
Zhu Bai said: "Kill them with one knife and throw them from the city wall. Report them to the government tomorrow morning and they will say that two thieves have come in. I will execute them on the spot."
The two men then said: "King Xiang, spare your life. We will attack you, we will attack you."
Hu Dafa sighed in a low voice: "Huh."
As far as he knew, the local bandits were frightened by the people escorted by the Guanya Bureau.
There are still people who dare to come looking for death.
The two men added: "We are fishermen on the seashore. We were held hostage by Japanese pirates."
"The Japanese pirates heard that the Guanya Bureau was rich, so they wanted to rob them, but the post station was too tightly guarded, so they robbed and killed two newcomers to the Guanya Bureau and asked us to pretend to sneak in."
Zhu Bai suddenly realized, yes, this station is the closest to the Yangtze River and its estuary.
Remote, close to mountains and forests, easy to hide.
The Japanese pirates robbed the inn at night, then quickly retreated to the Yangtze River, boarded a boat, and sailed down the river.
When others found out that the place had been robbed, they had already fled to the sea.
These Japanese pirates had such detailed plans, they must have come to investigate in advance.
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows and asked: "How many Japanese pirates are there? Where are they now?"
The two men: "More than two hundred, hiding in the mountains. Their samurai swords are very powerful and brutal. Many villages along our coast have suffered. Our whole family is dead."
"If you can't defeat them, I advise you to close the door tightly. They can't get in and leave tomorrow morning."
When Zhu Biao heard this, cold sweat broke out on his head. He looked at the more than a hundred guards around him, and suddenly felt that it made sense for Lao Zhu to ask him to take five hundred people.
When fighting a war, you know the benefits of having more people.
Zhu Biao: "We can't fight head-on. It's better to do as they say and wait until they retreat on their own."
Zhu Bai shook his head: "No. This group of Japanese pirates will definitely not be reconciled if they are not captured by us and will harm the people. I will not let any of them go!"
Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment: "That's true, but we don't have as many people as they do."
The key point is that there are a few people like him who can't fight, such as him and Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai calmly comforted Zhu Biao: "Brother, don't be afraid, I have a way. Although there are not many of us, we can all use big bows and are good at hand-to-hand combat with swords. One is worth ten."
Otherwise, the time he followed Lao Zhu to watch the guards for a whole day would have been in vain.
He later went there many times to select elite soldiers and sent them to various Guanya Bureau stations in a steady stream.
Zhu Biao wanted to speak, but Zhu Bai turned around, climbed onto the table, and shouted in a low voice: "Generals, listen to the order."
The others responded in unison: "Yes."
Zhu Bai said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's bodyguard only needs to protect the Crown Prince and hide on the top floor. The rest will follow my arrangements."
-----
At night, many people came down from the mountains and forests, quietly approached in the darkness, and then surrounded the inn.
According to the agreement, the leader learned how to hoot an owl, two short and one long, three sounds in one group, three consecutive groups.
After a while, there was a response from inside, a group of three, two long and one short, two groups in a row.
This means it is safe and the guards have been taken care of.
Then the door was opened.
More than two hundred people swarmed in with shining knives in their hands.
The first person to enter the building went to open the door, only to find that the door was closed tightly from the inside and could not be moved at all.
Not only that, even the windows on the first floor were closed.
