Chapter 9 Ambush(1/2)

As soon as Feng Yibo came out of the inner house, he met two people coming over in a panic.

One is Gouzi, and the other is Aunt Meng's son, whose surname is Meng. Everyone calls him Mengzi.

"Little Master, the patrol post found an injured soldier who claimed to be Mr. Qian from the Beijing camp and said that the Japanese pirates were about to attack!"

Gouzi looked anxious, but Mengzi looked a little eager to give it a try.

Recently, many places in the south of the Yangtze River have been plundered by Japanese pirates, and their methods are said to be extremely cruel.

If it is true, the people in Zhuangzi must move as soon as possible.

But Gouzi knows that Jinling has closed the city gate, so where can they hide?

Mengzi asked simply, there were not many Japanese pirates.

He is usually responsible for training Zhuang Ding, but here he actually wants to challenge him.

"No matter what, let's gather the villagers first!" Feng Yibo did not hesitate.

"Already sent for!"

Mengzi was eager to try and just wanted to challenge him.

Then Feng Yibo nodded and said, "Take me to see Mr. Qian!"

When Liu Zhao was sent to Feng Mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

But then I thought about it, after all, this is the outskirts of Jinling City, so it wouldn’t be unusual if it was an adult’s villa?

Not long after, the arrival of a young man let him know the identity of the owner of this place.

"I'm Feng Yuan, a member of the Imperial Examination Committee. I have met the general. Please tell me the details."

Feng Yibo recognized at a glance that this man was the general he saw outside the city gate today.

Therefore, he did not dwell on the identity of the other party and directly asked about the specific situation.

"Liu Zhao is a martial artist, but he has also heard of the name of Duke Xie Yuangong. I am very lucky to see him today."

Although Liu Zhao was a military general, his brother-in-law was a scholar, so he paid great attention to the affairs of Qiu Wei and naturally knew the name of Jinke Jieyuan.

But he also knew that now was not the time to talk about this.

After a few simple greetings, he said directly: "The situation is urgent now. Mr. Xie Yuang, please take the people and run away!"

Whether he can survive or not depends on God's will.

He licked his dry lips and continued:

"Presumably those Japanese pirates will stop pursuing Jinling after they catch up here. They will probably supply supplies on the spot. If they leave too late, I'm afraid... I'm afraid... Oh!"

Feng Yibo waved his hand, and someone brought tea to him.

He understood Liu Zhao's unfulfilled intention and showed a solemn look on his face.

"I understand what the general said, but what I want to know now is how many troops the Japanese pirates have?"

Liu Zhao was a little confused, but he still frowned and said:

"There are about a hundred or ten people, but each of them is extremely brave and can defeat a hundred. Especially those Japanese pirates are good at leaping. They can reach more than ten feet in one leap. Their knives are extremely sharp. When they land, they will kill them with their weapons."

Break!"

Upon hearing the number of Japanese pirates, Feng Yibo put aside his last worry and nodded:

"I said that they will not be able to plunder the south of the Yangtze River for long. I heard that there were two to three hundred people before, but now there are only a hundred or so left, which shows that they are at the end of their war effort."

Liu Zhao was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, Zhuang Ding came in from outside to report.

"My young master, there are a few people coming from the entrance of the village. They say they are from the Xue family in Jinling. The leader is a young master who speaks very harshly and wants to see you by name."

"oh?"

Xue Pan is here?

Feng Yibo frowned slightly and said, "Are you bringing officers and soldiers with you?"

"No, there are only two servants accompanying me."

The fact that the city gate can be opened as an exception during such a special period shows that the Xue family has strong connections in Jinling.

However, as long as we don't bring officers and soldiers to arrest people, that's fine.

Feng Yibo nodded when he heard this and bowed his hand to Liu Zhao.

"General, please feel free to recover here. If everything goes well, I might even give you a great achievement."

"What?"

Liu Zhao's eyes widened when he heard this, but Feng Yibo had already led people out.

He vaguely guessed what Feng Yibo was going to do, but he couldn't believe it.

After a while, he smiled bitterly and murmured:

"Is this because I am stupid because of reading, or is it that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers? It seems that I will explain it here today!"

…………

Xue Pan led people to inquire all the way, and finally found Fengjiazhuang before dark.

Looking at the tall porch of Feng Mansion, Xue Pan, who had been frustrated all the way, started to scold Feng Yuan by name.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he cursed a few words, hundreds of people gathered at the door of Feng Mansion.

They also bring all kinds of guys:

Some are holding pot lids, some are holding dung forks, and some are holding hatchets...

This is quite normal.

There were actually people dragging an old moso bamboo that was two feet long, and the branches on it were not pruned.

Although the equipment was not good, it still scared Xue Pan.

Just when he was at a loss, the corner door of Feng's mansion opened, and several people came out and tied him up without any reason.

"Imprisoned! How dare you? Do you know who I am? I am..."

There was also a rag stuffed in his mouth.

Several people escorted him into the mansion and came to a small courtyard.

"elder brother!"

Xue Baochai stepped forward to untie the rope and took off the rag from his mouth.

After all, you are only twelve or three years old. How can you not be afraid at all when you come to a strange place?

When she saw her brother, she almost shed tears.

When Xue Pan saw his sister's eyes red, he immediately said angrily: "Baochai! What the hell did Feng Yuan do to you?"

"Brother, please don't tell me nonsense!"

Looking at her brother who spoke so freely, Baochai habitually wanted to blame him.

But how could she bear the look of worry on Xue Pan's face?

"At that time, the city gate was suddenly closed, and Mr. Feng was caught off guard. He was afraid that something would happen to me, so he took me back to the house. I have been treated with courtesy here without any violation of the rules."

After hearing Baochai's explanation, Xue Pan said bitterly: "He knows the truth, but this matter can never be settled!"

Japanese pirates may come at any time, and Feng Yibo has no time to fight with Xue Pan.

So he directly sent someone to notify Xue Baochai, and someone on the other side tied up Xue Pan and sent him over.

At this time, behind him were Gouzi and Mengzi, and in front of him was the assembled Zhuang Ding.

"You should have heard that Japanese pirates will come here to plunder at any time."

The villagers were already in formation, just waiting for his order.

They had all heard of the Japanese pirates who had been causing trouble for a long time and their brutal methods.

I heard that I am coming here, and if I say that I am not afraid of anything, it would be a lie.

But as long as the little master gives the order, even the most timid one is still willing to fight.

"The gates of Jinling City are closed. We have no way out and can only save ourselves!"

Although the equipment was different, everyone held their chests high and their heads raised, motionless as a mountain.

Each one looked forward with firm eyes.

They don't know about other places, but there is no Zhuangzi around Jinling who is richer than their Zhuangzi.

This wealth is not the richness of the banker, but the wealth of all bankers.

It was Feng Yibo who led them to live a better life and protected them from any bullying.

For most bankers, let alone Japanese pirates, even if the government comes, they dare to go up and provide support.

"There are only a hundred Japanese pirates, and there are two hundred of us!"
