Chapter 148 A powerful enemy is at hand
After Village Chief Chen and others left, Yang Wei and the others closed the courtyard door. Then according to the routine formed in these days, they began to allocate housing for tonight, and then allocated people to make fires for cooking, boil water for washing, and take care of the horses.
Proceeding in an orderly manner.
Xiao Wu from Yang Wei Escort got into a carriage and took out a large piece of pork from a tank inside to defrost it. The piece of pork weighed twenty kilograms. He also took some dried fungus, dried bamboo shoots, etc. and took them out to soak.
I also took some Chinese cabbage, peeled seven or eight large radishes, and started to chop the stuffing.
The rest of the people were busy, and the room in the middle of the yard was cleared out the fastest.
Lu Songli, Yang Wei, Xu Zheng and the three Qin brothers were present.
Xu Zheng frowned and said, "This Qinglong Village is indeed a trouble."
Yes, they knew about Qinglong Village before entering the village.
After Zhou Da led half of his men north to support Qin Yan, the remaining half were led by his deputy Hu Guangcong. They were all cavalry and were good on horses. It would be a waste if they were only used as bodyguards, the same as the Yang Wei Escort.
.So after Lu Songli discussed with the three brothers of the Qin family, they decided to use them as scouts to improve their group's perception of danger.
The effect was also immediate. Apart from anything else, they had inquired about Qinglong Village two days ago and already had a lot of relevant information.
Qin Heng pointed out, "Cangshan Mountain is too big. No matter which route we take, we can't avoid Qinglong Village."
"Since we can't avoid it, we can only face it head-on." Lu Songli set the tone with one word.
And she felt that they had been exposed as soon as they entered Qingxi Village. Other villages dare not say so, but Qingxi Village and Hehe Village are the two ends of Qinglong Village's hunting range, so they must have their spies.
They have so many carriages, and the carriages are loaded with so much supplies, they are just a fat sheep in the eyes of Qinglong Village.
Yang Wei sighed at his mistake. He knew it would be like this. But it was carrying such abundant supplies that made their life so comfortable. Since they enjoyed the benefits brought by the abundant supplies, they could not despise the disadvantages it brought.
.
Lu Songli always solves problems when she encounters them. There is nothing to say.
There are more than 200 young men in the other side's village. Even if they appear to be tough, the meat hanging on them is so attractive that the other side will want to take a bite of it.
With a little planning, she could get through it, but there would definitely be casualties. This was not her original intention.
While I was busy, the escort boy came to report that there was a knock on the door.
Several people looked at each other and decided to discuss it after dinner. If they were not here now, it would easily arouse suspicion.
The village chief's mother, Mrs. Chen, brought a seven or eight-year-old boy over to thank them.
The boy's expression was stubborn and somewhat unruly. He kept staring at the Qin brothers and the men marching in the army.
"You are good people. The road is blocked by heavy snow and it is difficult to walk. You should turn back and take another detour."
Lu Songli knew that she was reminding her something in disguise. After Yang Wei thanked her for her kindness, he brought her two more steamed buns with mixed noodles.
At this time, Lu Mingzhi quietly found her and said to her, "Second sister, there will be heavy snow in the next two days. Should we stay in Qingxi Village for two days?"
Lu Songli nodded, "Okay, I know about this and I will arrange it."
In the wild on a snowy day, the roads are difficult and dangerous.
During this period, whenever rain or snow was coming, Lu Mingzhi would tell them in advance, which saved them a lot of trouble and a lot of things.
Qin Heng privately praised him more than once for his good reading and useful reading.
Lu Songli told the others about this, and then Yang Wei arranged for a few more people to bring ladders and go to the roof to sweep the snow off.
Anyone who has free time helps make dumplings.
When Yang Wei and the others were sweeping the snow, they happened to see Village Chief Chen leading his people to sweep the snow off the roof of their house, so they greeted each other from a distance, "Cun Chief Chen, are you sweeping the snow?"
Village Chief Chen nodded, "Yes, if the snow is not swept away, it will easily crush the roof." They were already cleaning just now, but strangers like them came in and shocked the people in the village, so everyone stopped.
Cleaning work.
Yang Wei noticed that after they swept the village chief's house, they moved on to the next house. It was still the same team. He immediately understood that these people were planning to sweep snow from house to house.
"Village Chief Chen, it's getting dark today, why don't you arrange more people?"
Village Chief Chen smiled bitterly, these noble people from Chang'an Prefecture don't know how difficult people's livelihood is. Doesn't this mean he doesn't want to make more arrangements?
But clothes to keep out the cold are so expensive and rare. In Qingxi Village, every household in Qingxi Village can find two complete sets of winter clothes and trousers, which is considered good.
This only or only winter coat and winter trousers are usually worn by the person who has to go out to do errands, while the rest of the family just stay on the bed to stay warm.
It has been snowing heavily recently, and the snow must be cleared every day, otherwise there is always a worry that the roof will collapse. Therefore, he requested that each household must have one person, preferably a young and agile person, to take turns clearing the snow.
After Yang Wei learned about the situation, he took his people to help Village Chief Chen. Anyway, the meal was not ready yet. While helping, he asked about the situation in Qinglong Village. Village Chief Chen did not hide anything from him, and told him everything he knew.
Said.
Mo Bing led many people and finally made thousands of dumplings, and then placed nearly 700 dumplings one after another. The remaining 300 dumplings will be delivered to Hu Guangcong and others later.
During the meal, the Lu family siblings somehow managed to squeeze in and sit next to each other.
"Second sister, this is good -" After shouting out, Lu Mingzhi quickly covered his mouth.
The secret is revealed, the secret is revealed!
The guards held the dumplings in their hands. After one of them heard this, he even dropped the dumplings he was holding. They wanted to insert their own ears. Can they listen to this?
Faced with those seemingly nonchalant glances, the guards did not dare to move, and the dumplings were neither edible nor uneatable.
They had long since noticed that they looked similar, so they had tried their best to ignore it, almost wishing they could just ignore it!
But every day, they are refreshing their knowledge. Today he actually shouted it out. What should we do?
Mother, this job is too difficult and embarrassing. The policemen cried in their hearts.
Lu Songli was speechless, what a stupid brother.
Lu Songli put down her chopsticks, and everyone else looked at her.
The officers were extremely nervous.
Lu Songli smiled reassuringly at them, "Don't be nervous, everyone. Dear brothers, I think you have noticed something over the past few days."
"We won't hide anything today. You heard me right. This is my brother Lu Mingzhi next to me. The two are Liu Erxi and Mo Bing. The Yang Wei Escort was hired by them to go to Pingzhou to do business. Because we were on the way.
, so they took care of me for a while."
Lu Songli felt that at this moment, internal stability was very important. And sincerity was always the last resort. Now that something unexpected happened, if they were not even willing to tell the truth, how could they win the trust of these officers?
"I confess this to everyone mainly because I feel that, first of all, we are not enemies and have a common goal - to arrive in Pingzhou safely. And then we actually don't have any interests or conflicts with you Brother Cha, right? So I feel that between us
There is no need to guard against each other, plot or even take action."
"Furthermore, now that there is a strong enemy like Qinglong Village on our side, I think we should be more united and friendly and be united in dealing with the outside world. What do you think?"
The officers looked at each other, then nodded, agreeing with her words. What she meant was that if you don't get in the way, nothing will happen, because killing you will do us no good. Now that a powerful enemy is on our side, if you don't
Be obedient and don't blame them for being rude if you don't unite and do something.
