Chapter 229 Go to the area where the Li family lives
Time passed quickly as time passed.
Finally, at nine o'clock, when the sun began to heat up, Wang Long and others couldn't wait any longer, so the three of them came over together.
At this time, Huang An was still sitting leisurely under the shade of the trees in the corridor outside the courtyard, drinking tea and spending time.
He had long noticed the three Wang and Long people who were dawdling not far away. He wanted to come over but was afraid of disturbing him.
Now, they have finally arrived, and it is almost time to let them out of the city.
"Huang, Brother Huang, didn't you say you were going to two villages outside the city to collect food? If you are later, you won't be able to come back!"
Wang Long had a look of anxiety on his face.
Seeing that Huang An was still drinking tea slowly, he became even more anxious.
"Um, oh?"
Huang An was startled, as if he had just remembered that there was such a thing, and stood up immediately.
"Oh, look at my mind, I'm so busy."
As he spoke, he walked towards his yard.
"Quick, arrange your manpower immediately! Just outside the main entrance."
As he spoke, he quickly disappeared at the entrance of the courtyard and walked into the courtyard.
Wang Long and the other three had helpless expressions on their faces. They looked up at the sky. Wang Long said worriedly:
"I hope it won't rain today, otherwise we'll be in trouble if we don't get back tonight. I heard we're going to make braised pork tonight, so I'll tell my brothers to hurry up."
Liu Hai and Tang Shi nodded in agreement.
The three of them left quickly and organized the manpower.
One of the very good things about working with Huang An is that the food is very good.
They ate even better than when they attended the banquet organized by their boss during the Chinese New Year.
"Have you heard that Boss Zhang and the three of them got a lot of money this morning?"
"Ah? Why don't I know? Tell me quickly..."
.....
However, what these three people didn't know was that Huang An, the sixth child, never wanted them to come back with food today from the beginning.
They were destined not to be able to eat this braised pork meal.
The team to transport food out of the city was quickly arranged. They gathered under the shade of trees on both sides of the road outside the martial arts hall, with a group standing on the east side and a group standing on the west side.
Number of people fifty-five.
Wang Long and the other three stood in the shade under the eaves at the main entrance of the martial arts hall, waiting for Huang An.
The three of them prepared to ride over.
After waiting for less than three minutes, Huang An came out.
However, what surprised Wang Long and the others was that there were two other people beside Huang An.
The leaders of Xialin Village, Zhang Rang and Meng Yun.
Both of them led horses, one to the left and one to the right, half a step behind Huang An and coming together with Huang An.
Could it be?
Wang Long also had a more delicate mind and quickly guessed part of Huang An's intentions.
Is this because Huang An didn't trust them, so he sent his own people to keep an eye on them?
Maybe, you are still worried that people like you are greedy for money?
It's just the second point, Wang Long is not sure about.
In his subconscious mind, it was mandatory for Huang An to go to collect grain outside the city, and there was no need to spend any money.
He had heard that the people in Xialin Village all grew up in several villages outside the city.
To be honest, he could not trust the character of his subordinates.
Along the way, you need to be restrained to avoid making both parties look bad.
Wang Long didn't know that they had no chance of causing trouble in the countryside.
Just as Wang Long and the others were racing with their thoughts, Huang An led someone to walk in front of the three of them.
He looked around Wang Long and the other three and directly ordered:
"Let's go outside the city. The three of you will take charge. All matters big and small will be subject to your brother Wang's orders!"
Huang An gestured to everyone with his eyes. Liu Hai and the others were not surprised at all and nodded in agreement.
Wang Long also clasped his fists, taking over this heavy responsibility.
However, Huang An has always attached great importance to the decentralization of power, and the stakes here are so important that he cannot put all the responsibility on Wang Long.
Moreover, his real purpose was not to transport food, but to kill the Li family.
Wang Long can be the leader, but he can only be a leader like a tool man.
He must always have control over this team in his own hands.
And this was also the most important reason why he brought his two loyal brothers, Zhang Rang and Meng Yun, with him.
He suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at Zhang Rang and Meng Yun next to him, and said to Wang Long and others:
"Meng Yun is in charge of all expenses and action routes during this trip, and Zhang Rang is responsible for keeping accounts. Do you three have any objections?"
When Wang Long and the other three heard this, their expressions changed slightly, but they all shook their heads to express their attitudes.
After all, Zhang Rang and Meng Yun are both Huang An's own people, and they are from the Firearms Department, outsiders.
And so far, the time spent working with Huang An, and even the time spent getting to know Huang An, is less than a week.
It is understandable that such an important thing as spending money should be left to your own people.
They are not young and have been in the military for a long time, so they have nothing to feel bad about.
They subconsciously ignored the four words "line of action".
And this is actually a very important point.
Huang An was still waiting for them to ask, but in the end, Wang Long and the others agreed without even having to give the order himself. This was a good thing.
Huang An was very satisfied with the three people's understanding of current affairs. He smiled, then glanced at Wang Long, then looked at Liu Hai and Tang Shi on one side, and promised the three people:
"You guys go out of the city with peace of mind and do your work well. We are all brothers, so I'll put my ugly words ahead!
Villages such as Dahuaishuzhuang, Zhaojiazhuang, and Wangzhuang are all relatively close to each other. During the harvesting process, you are not allowed to harass the villagers. If I hear anything unpleasant, don’t blame me for putting you three to death!"
Sure enough, Huang An's words made the three of them stunned.
Wang Long smiled and agreed immediately.
"Brother Huang, don't worry. These villages belong to you and Mr. Zhao. I will only bully the people of these villages when I get the courage to do so?"
Liu Hai followed up and promised, "Brother Huang, don't worry, if any kid dares to think wrong, I will break their legs without you taking action."
When Huang An heard this, he saw that the expressions of the three people were not fake, and knew that they had listened, so he did not give any more instructions.
A relaxed smile appeared on his face, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he continued to give instructions:
"Do your job well, and when you come back, you will be rewarded heavily, including your brothers! When you are on the road, you can tell them that when you come back from your job, ordinary big-headed soldiers will receive at least two taels of silver each!"
The tone of this sentence is normal, but the content is very strange.
Huang An was giving Wang Long and the others a vaccination to prevent the three of them from taking his letter, seeing the contents, and treating it as fake news.
He was confident that the clever Wang Long could understand some of the meaning of his words.
So while he was talking, his eyes were always on Wang Long's eyes.
The puzzled expression on Wang Long's face did not disappoint Huang An.
He spoke very seriously, and Wang Long listened very seriously.
There is something wrong with Huang An's words.
Wang Long's heart skipped a beat. Seeing the faint smile on Huang An's lips, he was suddenly startled and doubtful. His brows furrowed slightly and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
If you go out of the city once to pull food, when you come back, ordinary soldiers will be rewarded with two taels of silver?
Something is wrong. The difficulty of the task and the final task reward do not match at all!
Everyone has two taels of silver.
When did money become so easy to earn?
You know, among the frontier troops, killing an enemy leader only cost five taels of silver.
It's totally wrong to go and pull some grain within ten or twenty miles outside the city, and you can get two taels of silver.
Brother Huang is hinting at something to me. Is he reminding me?
Wang Long felt that he had some enlightenment. He looked at Huang An and found that Huang An was smiling at him, and his smile was very meaningful.
Wang Long was stunned and felt that he had guessed correctly.
He glanced at Zhang Rang and Meng Yun who were beside Huang An. They had extremely bright smiles on their faces.
"Although these two people are only Six Fu Realm warriors and people from Xialin Village, they are obviously Huang Ge's confidants. Huang Ge is a generous person, and there is a high probability that he will join the Firearms Department in the future. How about..."
Wang Long quickly had an idea in his mind.
He saw the potential of a great man in Huang An.
Sudden.
"Do you remember what I told you?"
Huang An spoke again, but this time, the instructions were given to Meng Yun and Zhang Rang.
Wang Long's eyes flashed, and he stared at the expressions of Huang An, Zhang Rang, and Meng Yun intentionally or unintentionally, and carefully analyzed the conversation between the three.
He doesn't like the ignorant feeling of not knowing anything, and he wants to try his best to get more information.
Zhang Rang smiled and said nothing.
Meng Yun patted his chest and solemnly promised Huang An.
"Brother, don't worry! I guarantee it will be done properly."
Looking at Huang An and Meng Yun's expressions and listening to their words, Wang Long narrowed his eyes slightly. This time he was really sure that this trip to the city to transport food would not be simple.
The strange words Brother Huang said just now must have a deeper meaning.
He needs to correct his attitude and respect the suggestions and decisions of Zhang Rang and Meng Yun as much as possible in order to gain Huang An's special treatment.
He wants to follow Huang An to do things.
.....
Since the grain transport team left, Huang An's task has not become easier.
Zhang Yi, who was responsible for protecting his personal safety, was sent to bed by him, and Chen Yu followed him, almost never leaving.
With the departure of a large number of people, the Zhao Family Martial Arts School has regained its former loneliness and purity.
"Song Yang, go and count how many people are available in the martial arts gym?"
Huang An yelled at Song Yang who was enjoying the breeze and drinking tea not far away.
He was so busy that his forehead was sweating, and his subordinates were actually drinking tea and blowing air?
Huang An doesn't allow him to be so idle!
When Song Yang heard Huang An's voice, he turned around immediately, and then ran over directly under Huang An's surprised gaze.
"Brother, including the people already in the martial arts gym, there are currently a total of twenty-five people in the martial arts gym."
This guy actually knows what he is going to ask him?
Huang An looked at Song Yang in surprise, laughed, and joked:
"You are quite clever, I thought you were lazy!"
Song Yang smiled and said nothing.
He was just taking a break after finishing his work, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by his elder brother.
Huang An was not angry either, he ordered:
"Okay, you go and organize people to prepare wine, vegetables, meat and other things for tomorrow's banquet. It doesn't matter if you buy more. Our brothers who stay here can also eat."
While speaking, he threw a heavy package into Song Yang's arms.
"There are three hundred taels of silver here, which is enough!"
Song Yang held the silver in his arms, feeling unreal.
Three hundred taels of silver, just handed over to me?
Big brother actually trusts me so much?
To be honest, before this, Song Yang himself did not believe in himself and would be indifferent to three hundred taels of silver.
However, Huang An's trust made him trust himself.
He secretly warned himself that he must save some money, keep good accounts, and leave the rest to his elder brother.
He solemnly promised Huang An.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll arrange the manpower to handle it right away!"
Huang An nodded, and then whispered a few words to him.
Then Song Yang left quickly.
Chen Yu, who was on the side, heard the whole conversation between the two of them and frowned slightly.
Still unable to hold back his curiosity, he asked.
"Brother Huang, didn't you send someone to collect grain from Zhuangzi outside the city? Why do you want Xiao Song to buy two carts of grain in the city?"
When Huang An heard this, he chuckled.
"Do you really think they are here to collect food?"
He gave it a try, then turned around and left.
Chen Yu's face was completely frozen.
If they are not hauling food, then what are so many people doing outside the city?
Chen Yu was tickled by Huang An's words.
I was about to ask a few more questions.
But suddenly, Huang An, who had taken two or three steps, suddenly turned back and asked:
"Where did Luo Feiyao go?"
Chen Yu was stunned again, looked around, and found that Luo Feiyao was not around. He then shook his head.
"I don't know. I didn't see Mr. Luo this morning!"
Upon hearing this, Huang An nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
Who cares what she's doing, it's better if she's not here!
"Change your clothes and come to me in the courtyard later. Let's go for a walk in the city!"
When Chen Yu heard this, his eyes showed an even stronger look of surprise.
Going to town?
When is this? Tomorrow is the banquet, and not much has been prepared.
Mr. Zhao Yan, there is also a shortage of people there, everyone is busy, the two of them are going shopping?
He doesn't understand.
But seeing that Huang An had no intention of further explanation, he had no choice but to grimace, obey the order, and run to change clothes.
About half an hour later, two completely unfamiliar faces emerged from the wall on one side of the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall.
"Brother, your mask is so useful!"
Chen Yu was surprised and carefully touched the simulated mask on his face, his big eyes full of doubts.
Before putting on this mask, he still called Huang An Brother Huang, but now, he is convinced and calls him Big Brother.
The way Huang An looked when he was throwing money was so handsome, he also wanted to be thrown money.
Although Huang An didn't say it, he was very satisfied with Chen Yu's change of attitude, so he was happy to be a good old man.
"Since Brother Chen likes it, I will give it to you after today!"
Chen was then responsible for protecting him. For his own safety, Huang An would not treat him badly no matter what.
A mask might save him from danger, and for Huang An, it was a good deal.
Chen Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was filled with disbelief.
This is incredible. This exquisite human skin mask was given to him like this?
I wanted to be humble, but I was afraid that Huang An would suddenly regret it and not give it to him.
Therefore, he accepted it without saying a word and only gave Huang An a sincere thank you.
"Brother, where are we going now?"
The two walked side by side, and Chen Yu curiously asked Huang An about the purpose of bringing him out and wearing a mask to disguise his identity.
"Go to the area where the Li family lives!"
Huang An said something ambiguous and walked along the road first.
When Chen Yu saw this, he didn't want to ask any more questions and quickly followed him.
