Chapter 403
When laying out the stone traps, He Shui finally knew the use of those trees.
It was about one meter away from the entrance of the small canyon, and rows of stones were piled up, each of which was about one or two meters high. A big stone could only be pushed by three or four people. Fortunately, there was a stone forest behind it. Without the big stones, Qingyun kicked it a few times, and pushed it not far away.
The stones here were piled up. Qingyun came over and nodded, then pointed his hand back, "Go to the opposite side."
With the help of three or four wide gorges, Tian Duolian and Heiba have the foundation of kung fu. If there is no problem, He Shui and the others will not be able to do it.
He Shui glanced at the opposite side, his face turned blue with scared, and said while wiping sweat, "Master Qing, it's not OK, it's too far, we can't jump over."
If you have two meters, you may be able to jump over. If you jump halfway, you will fall down, and there will be someone else?
Qingyun glanced at him and kicked the trees on the ground, "I didn't let you jump. There were vines over there, pull some, tie them up with these trees, and build a ladder."
He Shui looked at the trees on the ground, then at the vines on the stone forest over there, grinned, "Oh, I'll go right away."
After a busy day, I made up the stones in the canyon for two days, gnawed a few bites of dry food, and slept against the stone forest.
……………………
After ambushing for three days, he didn't even see any officers and soldiers, and there was no forest or bushes in the canyon, and there was no place to block the sun, and it was barely sunny on his head.
"Master Qing, when will the officers and soldiers come?" He Shui asked involuntarily.
The stones that had been drying for a day were burning to death. The brothers hid the place they had without. They squatted on the stones and felt that they were about to smoke from their heads.
"It's almost!"
Qingyun was sweating profusely. After intercepting and killing the officers and soldiers this time, he had to pretend to be the officers and soldiers because there was no paint on his face, Qingyun's little white face was red.
Yes, this is to keep holding on.
The county magistrate didn't even say he was tired, so they didn't have the attitude to shout!
On the fourth day, it was dawn, and the green clouds were sleeping in a daze. When they heard the birds crying from below, they were excited and patted He Shui who was still snoring beside them.
"Wake up, the officers and soldiers are here!"
"Come? Who is here?" He Shui, who was stunned, looked around.
"Who did you say is here!" Qingyun's eyes were cold and cold, and he pulled out a big knife and slashed him, causing He Shui to scream in pain.
"Have you awakened?" Qingyun's eyes flashed with cold light.
"Wake up, wake up."
When the officers and soldiers came, He Shui rubbed his face hard. The brothers who were awakened were also awakened by He Shui's screams. They looked at Master Qing and then at He Shui who was clamoring, and asked nothing.
He Shui took half of his brothers across the other side of the canyon, and the remaining half remained with Qingyun.

As the sky was dawn, the sound of horse hooves came from the canyon below.
The three people riding a horse were talking about food.
"This year, the drought in Shifeng, Anyang has been severe. The imperial decree has been brought down. Jinlan, Weiyang, has recruited five million stones of grain in several places with abundant grain. Jinlan of Weiyang is a major grain producer. These two government offices have one million stones of grain each." said the general on the left.
"One million stone of food is a bit too much. Our border consumes only more than 30 million stones of food every year. However, after a few months of severe drought, the court allocated five million stones of food to refugees. Can they finish eating it? They are not afraid of dying." This was said by the general on the right.
"This is the imperial decree, who dares to have any objection? A few days ago, Li Futai found a general and wanted to transfer Xia Shou from Qishan to deal with this matter." The general in the middle smashed his mouth.
"Did the general agree?"
The general in the middle snorted and smiled, turned his head and asked him, "What do you think?"
"I should agree that if it weren't for Li Futai over the years, the general's life would not have been so easy!"
The general in the middle glanced at the two of them and smiled with an unknown meaning. The general didn't even care about his nephew being killed, but would also care about Li Futai's life or death.
The army is the foundation of a general. Only with food and silver can one afford to support the army. If the food is moved, the foundation of the general is moved. A small Lifutai in Weiyang is not worth the general's sacrifice.
Without Li Futai, there is also Zhang Futai Chen Futai.
"The general has his own opinions on food matters. Brothers should not argue, do your own work well!" The general rarely kindly reminded them both.
"I heard that the Xin County Magistrate of Qishan came to Qishan, but I haven't heard any movement yet. Could it be that I heard the death of Qishan County Magistrate. I was so scared that I dared not come?"
I won’t mention the food matter, but I will talk about the matter of Qishan County Magistrate.
"I don't know. I heard that people came from the south. He was also unlucky. He was going through Shifeng, Anyang. The days when he took office happened to be severe. There were many people fleeing there. I heard that there were refugees everywhere. Who knows if he could survive?"
The hungry refugees have no morals and eat everything, but people eat as well.
"If he is not dead, he can still do a big favor to Li Futai. He can throw the food collection matter to him. I heard that the new county magistrate was donated by the donor. That kid's family has a lot of wealth and must have some money. There is no problem buying a batch of grain."
"You boy is so sinister!"
"Hahaha, each other." The two looked at each other, and everything was silent.
"General, what's wrong?"
The right deputy general laughing, saw that the general in front suddenly stopped and came forward immediately.
"Don't you think the canyon is too quiet?" The general lifted the rope in his hand, and the horse sitting down circled around it. The general looked up and swept through the canyon and the sky above.
“Is there any?”
The right deputy general looked up and saw that the canyon was as quiet as before, and he grabbed his head in confusion, "It's always been like this!"
The left deputy general looked up and glanced at the top of the canyon and said, "The first time I came here, I was very nervous when I saw the cliffs above both sides of the canyon. I was worried that we would be finished."
"Haha, you feel this way too. I'm quite unlucky. It rained heavily for the first time when I walked here. The rain was like a flood, and it was raucous from above and below. There were sand and stones flowing down with the rain. I was frightened at that time and thought it was about to collapse. So many years have passed, no matter how strong the wind or how heavy the rain is, the canyon has not changed."
These words also dispelled the general's suspicion. He had been walking in the canyon for several years and had no problem. Besides, Qi Shan was in their hands and never had any problems.
"You guy is still too brave. Let's go a few more trips to practice your courage. Let's go!" The general shook the rope and continued to walk forward.
The team continues to move forward.
................
Qingyun walked to the edge of the canyon and squatted down, leaning down and looking over.
A group of people came from the canyon ahead.
This team of officers and soldiers lined up in three lines. At the front, there were three people riding horses, one of whom was in the center, and two steps behind the left and right sides.
