"Qingye"

Several brothers who went to Gaojiacun together stood one meter away from her, looking at Qingyun in awe.

"Thanks for your hard work, brothers, what's going on in Gaojia Village?" Qingyun asked.

"It was already dark when we arrived in Gaojia Village. Judging from the lights in the village, there were about a hundred households. The situation outside the village could not be seen clearly. We waited for all the villagers to return to the village and went to the rice fields to have a look. The rice was still there.

Confiscated. I peeled a few grains and looked at them. They are ripe. They will be harvested in less than two days."

Qingyun raised his eyebrows at him, looked at him for a few seconds, and suddenly asked: "Have you ever farmed before?"

If you can tell the harvest day by the fullness of the rice, you must have planted it.

"I have farmed before." The brother said sheepishly.

"Crazy Wolf, send your brothers to keep an eye on Gaojia Village. We won't enter the village. We will turn around and go to Mojia Village tomorrow."

"Yes, Mr. Qing."

Crazy Wolf's eyes wandered around the brothers, leaving one brother behind. The other brothers who had been to Gaojia Village went back to stare after dinner.

The brothers found the ground to sleep on by themselves. Qingyun sat in front of the fire and didn't know what to think about. He took a branch and flicked it around in the fire. Tian Duoliang, Mad Wolf, Black Bear and the three people didn't sleep either, so they lay on the ground for a while.

, maybe he had just eaten and couldn't sleep. He turned around and saw Qingyun still sitting, so he simply got up and walked over to sit down.

"Master Qing, there is something I don't understand," Black Bear sat down and said, "It's all about robbing grain. Why don't we rob the people before the bandits collect the grain? Then the bandits will have no food to harvest."

Tian Duoliang and Mad Wolf also looked at Qingyun. They all thought the plan he proposed was very good, but now that Black Bear said it, it seemed like this idea was even better.

"Yes, why don't you grab the food before the bandits? Those villagers don't dare to resist us. We don't have to fight with the bandits, which saves us a lot of trouble!" Crazy Wolf said.

Qingyun glanced at the three of them, raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"Can't figure it out?"

The three of them nodded. They really couldn't understand.

"The villages in Qishan are controlled by the Eighteen Villages. Each village has its own jurisdiction and will not easily go to the villages under the jurisdiction of other villages to collect grain.

We pretended to be bandits to collect grain, and as soon as we left, the villagers behind us would report the situation to the bandits. There were contacts between the various villages, and our whereabouts could not withstand their detection.

Pretending to be bandits and robbing the villagers of their food will not work. No matter what, we are all members of the imperial court, and we will have to be on duty at the county government in the future. We must not be recognized by anyone, especially me."

Qingyun clicked his tongue. The real reason was because of the ancestral precepts of the Shangguan family. The ancestral precepts clearly stated that the children of the Shangguan family should not do anything to harm innocent people with any reputation.

She couldn't take action against the people, so she had to take a detour and deal with the bandits.

To be honest, it is better to rob the villagers!

"Robbing bandits is different. It's a crime. Killing dozens of bandits at once can weaken the strength of the bandits. If the bandits lose food, they will definitely force the villagers to send a second supply of food.

The food has been handed over once, and the remaining food is only enough for the villagers to survive, and at most they will not starve to death. The bandits force them to hand over food again. The villagers will definitely not be able to hand over the food. If they cannot hand over the food, the bandits will kill people and massacre the village.

It is better to die than to live! People are like this, if they can live, they can endure no matter how much humiliation and hardship they face. If there is no way to survive, and they are at the end of their rope, will they take risks when they are at the end of their rope?

Either pick up a hoe and fight the bandits until death, or come to the county government office to seek shelter."

Qingyun's goal is the latter. If everything is lost, Qishan will become an empty county.

To achieve this goal, the only way is to force the bandits to oppress the villagers. When the people have no choice but to retreat, they will naturally come to the county government to look for her. That's when she can truly win over Qishan.

We are united!

She already had a preliminary plan, and she would think about the details later. Robbing the bandits' food was only the first step.

Tian Duoliang, Crazy Wolf and Black Bear were silent for a long time. What Qingyun said seemed to make sense. They thought about it over and over again, but there seemed to be something wrong, but they couldn't say what was wrong.

Everyone had a restless sleep at night, and they were always woken up by the howling of wolves and the roaring of wild beasts.

Qingyun slept very well and was not awakened by the wild beasts outside the cave at all. When he woke up and saw the dark circles under their eyes, he asked strangely: "What were you thinking about at night? One or two of them didn't sleep well."

"There were wolves howling outside last night."

The mad wolf was rubbing his eyes while beating Haru for a long time, thinking to himself, you sleep like a dead pig.

All three of them thought so, and no one dared to say it.

After eating dry food and drinking the water they brought, the group continued to the next village. Every time they passed a village, a few brothers were left behind to stare at the activities in the village.

"Come and take a look, there is a road down there."

Qingyun resting on the top of the mountain, he accidentally saw a path at the foot of the mountain. The path was overgrown with weeds, winding forward, disappearing and appearing in the mountains and forests. Without looking carefully, you would not know that it was a road.

The path leads to the opposite peak and turns to the back of the peak.

Qingyun carefully checked the map and found that this road was not on the map.

Qingyun raised his eyebrows, a little strange!

On the map given by Chun'an, the mountains, rivers and villages are very clearly marked. Why is this place missing?

Tian Duoliang, Mad Wolf Black Bear, came over to take a look. The bottom of the mountain was no different from the top. They were both barren mountains and wild ridges. After looking for a while, he couldn't see any way down.

"Where did you see the road?" Tian Duoliang asked.

"Isn't that the road?"

Qingyun pointed to the bright path below, turned around and saw the confused expressions on the three of their faces, squinted his eyes, and suddenly looked like he suddenly realized something.

After she woke up, her facial features were much sharper, several times that of ordinary people. It was several hundred meters from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, so naturally they couldn't see the path under the weeds.

"Send someone to explore the situation ahead," Qingyun rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said quietly, "There should be a surprise ahead!"

Where there are roads, there are usually villages.

If her thoughts are true, there is a village here, but it is not on Qishan's map...

Qingyun touched the tip of his tongue to the root of his teeth, rubbing it slowly... interesting!

Tian Duoliang, Crazy Wolf and Black Bear looked at each other, then glanced at Qingyun with strange eyes, and ordered several brothers to go over and investigate the situation.

Not long after waiting, the brother who went to investigate the situation came back, sweating profusely from running around.

"What's going on ahead?" Black Bear asked.

"There is a village ahead, not far away behind the mountain peak, with about seventy or eighty households. However, the village has been abandoned. It must have been abandoned for several years. Most of the houses have collapsed, and weeds are growing everywhere.

The fields are also overgrown with weeds. We went into the village and looked around, but there was no one there, so I guess they have moved away a long time ago.”

Tian Duoliang, Crazy Wolf Black Bear, thought to himself, Qingyun guessed it, there really is a village.
