Su Ren hummed a song, followed by a group of children. They imitated Su Ren and hummed along with him, but the tune was off-key and sounded extremely disharmonious. Especially Luo Datou, this kid has almost become Su Ren's personal bodyguard.
As a follower, if his mother hadn't refused to let him out of the yard, Luo Datou could have followed Su Ren twelve hours a day without having to do anything.
Perhaps because Luo Dagong earns money, he actually got Luo Datou a suit of clothes. Although those pieces of cloth could not cover all the flesh, at least the key parts were protected, which made Su Ren want to touch Luo Datou's little penis again.
Sometimes there is an extra layer of obstacles.
Huang Shisan blasted a group of children away with his broken gong voice, and saluted Su Ren seriously: "Sir, Mr. Han has something important to do."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Luo Datou still wanted to follow, but Huang Shisan glared at him, which made the kid tremble. Su Ren immediately protected Luo Datou by his side: "Why are you staring at him? What can a child know?"
Huang Shisan chuckled: "This boy is born in the Year of the Dog and pesters Mr. Lu all day long. Lao Luo is really a smart man. As long as this boy is here, their family of three will definitely have Mr."
Su Ren smiled, handed the cake in his hand to Luo Datou, and helped him tidy up his clothes: "This guy is good. I'm going to send him to Shu County to be with Jian'er. What do you think?"
"Eh? That's right. The two children should be about the same age, so they can be good companions!"
Su Ren smiled and said: "Then it's settled. Call Lao Luo over sometime and I'll ask him if he is willing to go to Shuzhong."
After fighting Luo Datou, Su Ren came to the front yard. Han Qing and Liu Kui were already here. Since the two met, they actually developed a feeling of sympathy for each other. One is the former king of Chu and the poor son of the Huaiyin Hou family.
One is the only surviving member of the Wu Wang family. Their experiences are somewhat similar. Nowadays, both of them are anonymous. They hope to restore the glory of the family. Naturally, they have a lot in common.
Su Ren sat down between the two of them and poured himself a glass of water without the help of others: "What are you talking about? You look good, something good must have happened."
Han Qing smiled: "Sir, your eyes are always so poisonous. Can you tell from this?"
"That's because your city is not enough. You have to practice until Mount Tai collapses in front of you without changing your expression. Only then can you become a high official."
"We have no intention of becoming high officials."
The three people chatted for a while, and Han Qingzhu suddenly said: "We found it. It is located at Yongxingdu, thirty miles west of the city. There are 52 households, 340 people, mostly young and old, and there are two groups of soldiers.
Guards are stationed at the entrance of the village day and night, and no one is allowed to approach."
"Is there anyone else around?"
"There is an old ferry, which has been abandoned for many years. It is surrounded by mountains to the west, a river to the north, and there are soldiers to the south and east, and they are all old and weak. They can't run away even if they want to."
"Lived there for five years?"
Han Qing nodded: "Liu An assigned it to the county soldiers' camp back then. The actual county soldiers' camp is a little further to the south and just blocks the road. No one dares to go there."
"That means that if you want to save people, you have to move those county soldiers away?"
"Yes!" Liu Kui nodded: "A group of soldiers and horses are stationed there. They are nominally under the command of the lieutenant, but in fact they are all Liu An's private soldiers. No one can transfer them."
Su Ren took a breath: "That's going to be a bit troublesome. Judging from the situation, Liu An attaches great importance to that place. He will never transfer those county soldiers away easily. It will be very difficult to rescue them."
Han Qing smiled: "At least we found it. We just have a target and wait for the opportunity."
"Yes, Canglang and his men have been looking for it for so many years without any news. Now they have found it. The only thing missing is the time to strike. We can wait slowly."
"Then just wait! But I want to remind you that there was a commotion in Shouchun City a few days ago. Liu An had no choice but to take out military rations to help the people. According to my estimation, he will soon give you an order in Qingyun Mountain. Those who follow him
What goes out of your hands must be replaced somewhere."
"Sir, what you mean is..."
"It's not obvious. If Liu An loses money in the city, he has to make money from outside the city. Your Qingyun Mountain's reputation is too loud. It is said that many wealthy families have fled to your place."
"Liu An wants to rob those wealthy households?"
Su Ren smiled: "It's not Liu An, it's your Qingyun Mountain."
Han Qing nodded: "It is indeed possible. Liu An is crazy now and will do anything for his rebellion plan."
"Then let's fight. Anyway, the people who lose are his Huainan Kingdom. If he keeps going like this, sooner or later Liu An will feel the bitter taste of betrayal and separation!"
It doesn't matter how many troops there are in a song. With the current strength of Su Ren and Qingyun Mountain, they still can't win. If they mobilize troops from Jiangsu City and worry about being discovered by Liu An, it will be more troublesome. Several people don't have a good idea.
Sitting under the tree in a daze.
Hou Yong quickly walked into the yard, glanced at the three of them, and said to Su Ren: "Sir, Shopkeeper Sang would like to see you."
"What is he here for?"
Hou Yong shook his head: "We took the back door, there were only two people, they were sneaky, there must be something going on."
Su Ren winked at Liu Kui, who stood up and entered the room. Su Ren said, "Let him in."
Sang Yuji's attire is a bit strange. He is a businessman and should have been wearing silk clothes, but now he is actually wearing clothes and trousers. His hair is disheveled and he is wearing a big hat. His trousers are rolled up and he is wearing straw sandals, but he has no idea that they are exposed outside his trousers.
Those white and tender calves. After entering the door, they bowed respectfully to Su Ren from a distance of three feet.
Su Ren looked up and down several times: "Shopkeeper Sang's outfit is a little strange?"
Sang Yuji quickly explained: "Sir, please forgive me to avoid trouble."
"sit!"
“Mr.
Su Ren smiled: "It's okay, just tell me, we are all our own people."
Sang Yuji nodded quickly: "Yesterday Liu Hong called us to borrow food. I didn't know what you meant, so I didn't dare to agree. Today I came here to ask. In addition, Liu Hong also said that the King of Huainan was preparing to mobilize troops.
We have entered the city to capture the culprit who instigated the people to cause trouble. I am worried that the King of Huainan will use this as an excuse to harm you, so I came here to report to you."
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Sang, what you said is very important, and you did a good job this time." Su Ren smiled slightly, walked up to Sang Yuji, and patted Sang Yuji's shoulder gently: "There is something about food.
Just borrow some words, and I will have my own countermeasures for other things."
"No, I will go back and explain to the other merchants right now."
"By the way, Liu Hong didn't say where King Huainan plans to mobilize his troops?"
"I haven't mentioned this yet. I guess it should be the nearby county soldiers. The most likely one is Yongxingdu. The county soldiers there have always been fine. The commander-in-chief Chen Ding is a confidant of the King of Huainan. It is necessary to mobilize the county soldiers from other places.
The lieutenant signed for custody, with the exception of that."
"Where?" Han Qing's eyes widened.
Sang Yuji looked at Han Qing strangely: "Yongxing Ferry!"
Director Han Qing took a breath. Su Ren said with a smile: "Very good, if there is any news over Liu Hong's side, I would like to inform Shopkeeper Laosang in time. I have sent people to Jiangsu. Shopkeeper Sang's belongings will be available in just one or two days."
If it is delivered to Shouchun, then Shopkeeper Sang can send capable people outside the city to receive it instead of sending it into the city, so as to avoid trouble."
"Thank you, sir, I will do my best."
After Sang Yuji left, Liu Kui came out of the room, his eyes shining, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say: "If it's really what shopkeeper Sang said, that would be great!"
Su Rendao: "Don't be too happy. Liu An has blocked Yongxingdu so strictly for many years because he is worried about being rescued by you. I don't know if he will really mobilize troops from there!"
Liu Kui said: "Whether it is true or not, there is nothing wrong with making some preparations. If it is true as that shopkeeper Sang said, and the county soldiers from Yongxingdu are really transferred away, it will be too late for us to make preparations."
"That's right," Su Ren smiled: "Actually, there are different ways to save people. Isn't there the Huai River to the north?"
Han Qingdao: "Sir, what you said is true. Liu An did not take precautions on the Huaihe River in the north, but we don't have a boat. A few hundred people can't transport much with a small fishing boat. If someone discovers it, it will be even harder to save."
"
Su Ren smiled and said: "You don't have it, I have it!"
As the days passed, the comet's tail was nearly three feet long and could be clearly seen at noon. The riots in Shouchun City finally subsided. For this reason, Liu An built more than a dozen porridge shacks in the city and cooked some porridge every day.
Porridge was provided to the beggars. With food, the beggars consciously settled down and looked for other ways to survive. After receiving Liu An's promise and coercion and inducement, the wealthy households who fled were forced to return again if they were discovered.
When I arrived in Shouchun, I came back, but my wealth was nowhere to be seen.
Liu An was depressed all day long. He had long lost the heroic spirit of his original campaign due to such a commotion. He spent the whole day worrying about the food and drink for thousands of people. Fortunately, Liu Hong borrowed a lot of grain from merchants, so it should be
It can still be resisted for a while. Based on this, Liu An's love for Liu Hong has made many people jealous, including Liu Qian.
Zuo Wu entered the lobby, and Liu Hong quickly stood up and saluted Zuo Wu. Liu An sighed: "Hey, at this critical moment, I can only rely on you, the rest are just a bunch of mediocre people."
Zuo Wu said: "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. This matter is nothing but a trivial matter. With the Fifth Young Master, I don't have to worry about anything."
Liu An smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Do you have any clues about the person behind the civil unrest?"
"Yes! I took the opportunity of giving out porridge to find out who organized the civil unrest..."
"Who is it? Say, I will never spare him."
Zuo Wu raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu An: "It's the young master Liu Jian. A few days before the civil unrest, the young master went to find several leaders of the civil unrest."
"Who? That kid has such great abilities?"
Zuo Wu continued: "The young master has been very close to Su Ren recently. I guess that the actual mastermind behind the scenes should be Su Ren!"
"Is it him again?" There was a snap, and Liu An slapped several cases with his palm. (To be continued)
