Chapter 154 A lonely man, a widowed woman, in a ruined temple
"They want to know how the general can guarantee that he will let them go afterward."
Haha, it’s already this time and we’re still negotiating terms?
"Tell them they have no choice but to trust me."
"Before noon, I want to see people. It's best if everyone who comes comes is on horseback."
Upon hearing this, Wang Guanfang took the order and left.
Qi Shaoshang and the others saw Wang Guanfang here, but before they could speak, Wang Guanfang shouted: "Our general said that you can only trust our general unconditionally."
"Before noon, prepare your personnel and come on horseback."
"Otherwise, the general will be angry if he falls behind."
Several people around Qi Shaoshang were very angry when they heard this. Qi Shaoshang stabilized them, but he said to Wang Guanfang: "Master, we also want to go on horseback, but in our village
We only have a limited number of horses, only a hundred or so, but the sum total of all the martial arts warriors is still five or six hundred less."
Wang Guanfang was silent for a moment and then said, "I'm going to ask our general for instructions."
Wang Guanfang turned around and came to Li Xiuzhu's carriage and explained the situation.
Li Xiuzhu pondered for a moment and then said: "The remaining horses will be allocated to them first. The people we replaced will camp on the spot and watch the remaining people on the mountain."
"They are not allowed to go down the mountain until the war is over. They send ten people for purchasing, and we send a hundred people to follow."
"Do you understand?"
Wang Guanfang was startled and immediately understood how to operate.
"My subordinate understands."
Seeing Qi Shaoshang again, Wang Guanfang said: "Go and call someone, our general is responsible for the horses."
Qi Shaoshang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, at least everything is fine now.
"Come on everyone, let's go back to the village to gather people."
After a few people went up the mountain and made sure that no one was around, Qi Shaoshang gave the order to the unhappy people.
"Leave two people in each village who can take care of the overall situation and are trustworthy."
"In addition, we cannot completely trust them. After the army evacuates, we still have to find a way to transfer our people."
"If it can't be moved, then cut down the trees on the mountain from top to bottom."
"In this case, you won't be afraid even if the other party sets fire to the mountain."
"As long as we have enough time to prepare, our Lianyun Village can be easily defended and difficult to attack, and we can help each other, and there is water. Even if something happens to us, the village will be fine."
After hearing Qi Shaoshang's words, everyone's eyes lit up.
"The boss is right, and when we get to the battlefield, these things will be done."
"We will run away once we capture Juyongguan City Gate. Even if he denies it, we will have nothing to say."
Qi Shaoshang nodded after hearing this.
"Well, then let's go back and call for people. There is no need to call more people in each village. There are 500 people in each village. We must leave our strength behind."
"I didn't over-report the second-rate and third-rate masters just now. I can keep at least one-third."
Before noon, Li Xiuzhu saw the people Qi Shaoshang had prepared.
3,500 people are not that small.
Throwing away the 400 horses left from the previous campaign to suppress the bandits, there is still a shortfall of 3,100.
Li Xiuzhu immediately left 5,000 recruits who had not seen much blood.
But even so, the people on the mountain did not dare to move. After all, they were all well-equipped regular troops.
The army set off again, and this time there were no more surprises.
But after walking for two days, Li Xiuzhu's carriage suddenly broke away from the team.
He drove his carriage to Sishui Town and Leting Town without anyone else.
Seeing Li Xiuzhu leaving, Ruan Mingzheng, the third master of Lianyun Village, approached Qi Shaoshang and said softly: "Master, the dog officer drove away by himself, should we..."
Qi Shaoshang also frowned, wondering why the general named Li Xiuzhu would leave the army without permission at such a critical time.
But after taking a look at Wang Guanfang, who was paying close attention to them, Qi Shaoshang said softly: "Don't act rashly. If you glance casually, you will find that there are many eyes watching us."
"Furthermore, Juyong Pass is related to the people of Zhou Dynasty. We should not engage in internal friction before we conquer Juyong Pass, otherwise only the people will suffer."
After hearing Qi Shaoshang's words, several of the leaders who came around were unwilling to do so. There are two different things between being willing and being forced.
He scanned the surroundings covertly, and sure enough, many pairs of eyes were looking at them covertly.
At the same time, Li Xiuzhu and Suru were relatively speechless.
To be honest, the current relationship between the two is very awkward, but it's not purely awkward if you want to say it, it's still a bit intimate.
Can two purely awkward people live in the same carriage for two days?
Although that kind of thing never happened again between the two of them, they still slept together with their necks crossed.
Of course, this is all unconscious. Suru, who has just experienced a change, is very insecure.
Although they were on both sides when sleeping, Suru would always be in Li Xiuzhu's arms when she woke up, and Li Xiuzhu also habitually put his hands in Suru's arms.
Hey, these are all bad habits indulged by Yin Ping.
Seeing that Laoting Town was approaching, both of them were a little reluctant to leave.
But military aircraft cannot be delayed, and no matter how short the journey is, it will eventually come to an end.
At night, in a temple outside Laoting County, two people were warming themselves in front of a fire.
Li Xiuzhu could only deceive himself by saying that it was late and he couldn't enter the city.
Suru also knew, but she also did not object to Li Xiuzhu's actions.
After eating some barbecue, Suru looked at Li Xiuzhu, who had been silent, and suddenly asked: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Li Xiuzhu was adding firewood for a moment, then he filled it in with a wry smile.
"Yes, but I can't speak."
"Because I'm afraid that once I open my mouth, I won't be able to let it go."
"I can, but I can't hurt you."
Suru also fell silent, and after a long time she said quietly: "You are right, this may be the best result."
"May you return triumphantly and without disaster. I will watch your return in the capital."
Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.
"Thank you. I will definitely go back safely because there are too many people I care about there."
When he said this, Li Xiuzhu looked at Suru.
Although this woman was tired of traveling with him all the way and didn't even take a shower for two days, she was still so beautiful that it made people enchanted.
Suru's face was slightly red and she didn't dare to look into Li Xiuzhu's eyes. Fortunately, she couldn't see clearly under the firelight.
Time passed by, and neither of them spoke again, but there was no awkward atmosphere at all.
Because even if neither of them speaks, they know that the other's thoughts are on each other now.
I don't know how long it took, but Suru suddenly hugged her arms and whispered: "It's a bit cold."
cold????
Looking at the fairly strong fire burning in front of him, Li Xiuzhu didn't feel cold at all.
Wait, could it be that Suru is in the spotlight?
"You come sit here with me, maybe you are in the wind."
"Um!"
Suru said and sat next to Li Xiuzhu.
But within a few breaths after sitting down, Suru looked at Li Xiuzhu again.
