There are still only two "quick replies" to Uncle Nine Emperor's letters.
He didn't write a single word about the reason, and he didn't ask anyone to send a message. Feng Qingchen was completely confused. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out which scene Nine Emperors Uncle was going to play.
"Either Uncle Nine Emperors is so idle that he misses me and asks me to go back and show him quickly; or the matter is very secret and cannot be leaked." Feng Qingchen interpreted two reasons from these two words. Of course, the first
One cause is extremely unlikely, the latter is the most likely.
Uncle Nine Emperors is not such a boring person. He is also busy now. Even if he misses her, he will not send two letters in a row urging her to go back.
"When will King Qing arrive?" Feng Qingchen called Zuo An back again. Zuo An rolled his eyes and repeated what he said before: "I told you, tomorrow afternoon."
"Then we'll leave early the day after tomorrow." They have nothing else to do here, so they might as well leave early.
"Uncle Jiuhuang sent you another letter urging you to go back?" There were two letters in a row. Uncle Jiuhuang missed Feng Qingchen so much. Zuo An looked at Feng Qingchen deeply. It turned out that Feng Qingchen had no embarrassment at all and was generous.
Fang nodded in acknowledgement.
Knowing that the inn proprietress had a problem, Feng Qingchen and Zuo An were extremely careful and never touched the inn's food. Under the guise of accompanying Feng Jin to play, Feng Qingchen left Xue Lang at the inn and took Feng Jin with her.
They walked around this small town in the south of the Yangtze River and bought the food they would need for the next two days.
Carloads of things were being delivered to the inn, which made the innkeeper's wife turn green: Killing a thousand swords, the money is so expensive, right? There is nothing to buy so many things, it is better to leave a little more money, so that they can do something.
Big ticket.
The landlady tried several times to persuade Feng Qingchen to buy less, but Feng Qingchen forced her to introduce to her the special and delicious food in the town, and then watched helplessly as Feng Qingchen took Feng Jin out to spend money.
"Ouch, ouch...my heart hurts so much." The landlady saw that "the money that should belong to her" was taken by Feng Qingchen to buy things everywhere, and her heart ached. She wished she could give Feng Qingchen away now
Chen and his group were robbed, which saved Feng Qingchen from spending all his money.
Feng Qingchen kept spending money to stimulate the boss's wife, so the boss's wife naturally had no intention to pay attention to whether Feng Qingchen and his party were abnormal, let alone go outside to inquire about the news. Therefore, it was not until the afternoon of the next day that the Qing King's army came to the city.
Outside, the boss’s wife just received the news.
"Qing, King Qing..." The landlady was so frightened that she peed. She didn't even bother to change her skirt, dragging her urine smell, and jumped out as hard as she could. But when she rushed to the hut where the news was delivered, she found someone waiting for her inside.
, it’s not her friendship, but official relationship.
"Oh, sir... I went to the wrong place." The boss's wife reacted quickly, but no matter how fast she was, she couldn't escape the hands of the servant: "I don't care if you went to the wrong place, come with us."
Chai Ye waved to his men to pick up the man.
"Ouch, ouch... The boss has beaten someone, the boss has killed someone." The landlady struggled desperately and shouted loudly, but no one dared to show up.
"Stop her mouth and make a fuss." When officials are doing things, except for those extremely vicious bandits, no ordinary people dare to resist.
After the proprietress was captured by the officials, the Qing king's men, led by the local government, advanced into Shanquda to outflank the remnants of the rebels.
The Qing king's men and horses were dozens of times that of the rebels. Although they could not surround all the hills, it would definitely not be a problem if they surrounded the rebels and set up ambushes at each exit.
"Listen to the order from the soldiers: We are here to suppress the bandits today. These bandits are extremely vicious. They kill people and steal goods. They do all kinds of evil. Please cheer up one by one and don't let any of them go." The King of Qing hated these rebels deeply. Along the way,
They bloodbathed three villages and claimed thousands of lives, even the old, weak, women and children.
Even if such a person surrenders, he will not leave them a way to survive.
"Yes." All the generals accepted the order in unison.
By the time they rushed into the mountains, it was already dark. Even if the gangsters opposite were their former colleagues, they would not be able to recognize them.
The movement at the bottom of the mountain made the rebels on the mountain panic. As soon as the scouts standing on the sentry tower ran in, the bald man hurriedly asked: "How is it?"
"Boss, this is the King of Qing. The King of Qing has led his troops in, saying they are suppressing bandits." The visitor didn't even dare to breathe, and reported the situation first.
"Suppressing bandits? Isn't the King of Qing chasing us? How come you have time to come here to suppress bandits?" The bald boss was too confident. Until now, he still doesn't think that King Qing has discovered their traces. He still thinks that his trick is to hide the truth from others.
The design is quite beautiful.
"Little, I don't know. Maybe the King of Qing passed by here and was requested by the local government to bring troops to suppress the bandits." The scout made a bold guess, but was rejected by the bald man: "Impossible, didn't those bandits say that before?
, they have people in the government, and once there is any movement from the government to send troops, someone will spread the news up the mountain."
There is no one in the yamen, and those bandits before could not have ruled the country for so long.
"But, but... King Qing's soldiers and horses are about to attack." The scout couldn't think of any reason, and he didn't want to think about it. All he wanted to do now was to escape.
The King of the Qing Dynasty did not care at all to arouse the enemy. The formation arrayed at the foot of the mountain was very large. The people on the mountain soon knew about it. The whole village was like a pot exploding, and they all started discussing about the soldiers and horses below.
"I heard that it was the King of Qing who led his troops up the mountain." The voice of the speaker was trembling, as if he was about to cry in the next second.
"Prince Qing? Prince Qing is chasing us. He knows we are hiding here? Now, now we are dead..." Although those who dare to betray are very courageous, no matter how courageous they are, they are still afraid of death.
"Surrender, how about we surrender? Maybe there is another way..."
"Hey..." Before the man could finish what he said, he was overheard by the bald man who had just walked out. Without saying a word, the bald man picked up the hammer and hit the man on the head. The man fell to the ground.
Brains were all over the floor, and the bodies of several people around him were covered in yellow and white brains and blood.
"Damn it, let's see who else dares to surrender." Boss Guang threw the hammer on the man's body, denting his chest.
"No, no, no, we don't want to surrender." Everyone was shocked, and regardless of their fear, they quickly made a promise to avoid being beaten to death by the bald boss.
"Just don't want to surrender. Remember, you are not soldiers but bandits now. Do you still think that the Qing King will treat you the same way as before? Stop dreaming. We have killed so many ordinary people, and the Qing King will never
They will let us go. You have to fight this battle whether you want to fight or not."
Although the bald boss is barbaric and vulgar, he is a person who can see clearly. The King of Qing will never let them go. Before the people on the mountain can react, the King of Qing has ordered an attack on the mountain...
