Volume 3: The world is in turmoil and the undercurrent continues Chapter 409: Harvest
The court here is peaceful, the monarch and his ministers are united, colleagues are helping each other, the Queen Mother celebrates her birthday, and Princess Changping returns to the capital. All these will be passed down as legends the next day.
On the border of Shandong, after drinking the realgar wine of the Double Ninth Festival, Song Jiang strutted, mounted his horse, and the leaders behind him also mounted their horses, leading 10,000 elites and set off towards Liujiazhuang, which was more than 400 miles away.
Immediately after, Lu Junyi led Yan Qing and others, followed by eight thousand elites, five miles away from Song Jiang, and went down the mountain in a mighty manner.
Finally, Chai Daguan and Xiao Li Guanghuarong led seven thousand troops to the rear, ten miles away from them, and went down the mountain from the path.
At this moment, the Ruan brothers have already arrived three hundred miles away. Three thousand men and horses escorted tens of thousands of grains. They passed Hujiazhuang and were on their way non-stop. The military order they received was to arrive southwest of Liujiazhuang before September 12th.
There is a place called Dulonggang. This place is surrounded by flat land and there is only one hill that is 100 meters high. There is no problem in stationing 30,000 to 50,000 troops, and there is dense forest as cover.
Before September 16th, the task of setting up camp must be completed, and when Song Jiang's army arrives, it can launch an attack at any time.
Dulonggang is thirty miles southwest of Liujiazhuang. It takes less than two hours of urgent march to reach the entrance of the village.
Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang had already entered the village in secret, but the twists and turns were really difficult to navigate. After walking for more than an hour, they still returned to the same place.
"It seems that Liujiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang are really from the same family. After walking for more than an hour, it was almost dawn, and we were trapped here." Zhang Qing whispered to Sun Erniang.
"If they don't know what's going on and come in directly, I'm afraid they will suffer a lot." Sun Erniang added: "These are two tips from the military advisor and me. They say they can just open them when they encounter difficulties."
As she spoke, Sun Erniang took out a brochure bag from her sleeve, opened it and looked at it. It read: "There is no perfect path for everyone, and you are the one in the village."
Zhang Qing said with a smile: "This military advisor thinks that we are just like him, resourceful and resourceful. If we don't explain it clearly, we are at a dead end now. We are in a dilemma. We are still from the village. If I were from the village, I would know
Why are you leaving?"
Sun Erniang thought about it for a long time while holding the note, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "I understand, what the military advisor means is that we are from this village, what should we do at this time?"
"You said that if this was in Liangshan, then I would definitely sit down and wait for my brothers to come to rescue me." Zhang Qing said with a smile.
"That's it, it's easy to handle..." Sun Erniang said with a smile: "It's almost dawn anyway, let's put on a play."
Jiang Ning got up early in the morning and was about to practice kung fu when he saw two or three little kids poking their heads on the wall. Jiang Ning felt unhappy and picked up a stone from the ground and was about to throw it away. The three children hurriedly jumped off the wall and went to
Run around the village.
Jiang Ning seemed to have remembered something again, and hurriedly went out and shouted: "Any news? If it is useful, I will give you this tael of silver."
The three children stopped immediately, discussed for a while, and finally walked to Jiang Ning under the leadership of an older child.
"There is some news, I don't know if it counts."
Jiang Ning threw away the broken silver in his hand, and then caught it again: "Then we have to see what it is. If you don't say anything, I have to leave."
"Hey..." The big kid stopped Jiang Ning: "What if I say it's useful and you say it's useless? Then wouldn't I be at a big loss?"
Jiang Ning chuckled and rubbed the eldest child's head with his hand: "You little devil, where did you come up with so much thought? If you say it's useful, I will give it to you. If you say it's useless, do you still want to make money in vain?
Can’t I make this one tael of silver?”
The eldest child scratched his head, thought for a while and nodded: "What you said makes sense. My father said that you have to give everything a try. What if it succeeds?"
"You're right, let's talk now. Put this tael of silver here." Jiang Ning put the tael of silver in his hand on the fork protruding from the trunk of the tree on one side, and leaned towards the big tree.
The eldest child said matter-of-factly: "There was a couple who were brought back by hunters who went hunting in the morning. They said they had been robbed by thieves. They ran away when they saw the road and bumped into the village by mistake. They just wanted to enter the village to enjoy a bite.
Eat, go back alive, and give a two-hundred-year-old ginseng in your arms to the benefactor who saved your life. That Orion lives next door to my house. I saw it with my own eyes on the wall this morning."
"What's the use of this? I just got lost. Your village goes around and around. If it were me, I would get lost too." Jiang Ning said, picking up the one tael of silver and turning around to leave.
The child next to him grabbed Jiang Ning's clothes: "No, no, it's useful."
Jiang Ning knelt down and said, "Tell me, what's the use?" Then he scratched the child's nose.
The child thought for a while: "Our village is not easy to get around, but few outsiders can walk here this year. I heard him say that he found it very close to the village. This is the closest.
It’s useful anyway.”
Jiang Ning's smiling face began to solidify. A couple? The closest place to the village? In other words, they were about to enter the village, but they were trapped in the twists and turns. If he was robbed, what should he do? What should he look for?
Let's hide in a completely safe place for a while, so we don't get chased any further.
And why do they want to enter the village? What if there are not good people in this village? A man and a woman are not afraid of the hunters and just rob them again?
The only explanation is that they wanted to enter the village, so they threw out the two-hundred-year-old ginseng, and they were sure that no one in the village would harm them. Even if they did, they were absolutely sure that they would not be killed, so these two people would definitely
Have skill.
With a radius of a hundred miles, who doesn’t know about Liujiazhuang? Did he bump into it by accident? Jiang Ning stood up slowly, squinting his eyes slightly, watching the sun rise high, he finally arrived.
Jiang Ning handed the child a tael of silver and asked, "How are the men and women dressed?"
"Just dress up normally, nothing special." The eldest child took the money, turned around and ran away, and the other two children followed quickly without looking back, cheering.
Dressed normally, after being robbed, he also knew that after starving for a day, he put on ragged clothes before entering the village. However, these two were dressed normally. If anything goes wrong, there must be a monster. Jiang Ning will definitely go and take a look.
Following the child, he walked through three roads in the village and arrived at the Orion's house.
Standing at the door, I heard that people were eating in the courtyard, so I knocked on the door.
Orion opened the door and saw Jiang Ning, and immediately welcomed him in: "Sir, come here, but is there anything important? Have you had breakfast? Do you want to sit down and have something to eat?"
Jiang Ning glanced at the two people who were eating, and already had something in his mind.
"Oh, no, no, no, I'm just checking to see if there are any locals today. If I want to go have a drink with the eldest son, I can't go empty-handed, right?" Jiang Ning waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Sir, you are really here. You have just killed two deer. If you want to use them, use them first." The hunter said and was about to get the deer.
