"Okay, let me tell you, they will arrive in about half an hour. Tell your boss to move quickly and calculate the time. It's almost time to leave." Chen An said.
"Don't worry, he will be quick. We are all ready."
"Okay, I will go back to Lord Situ right now." Chen An immediately drove his horse back to the north and quickly disappeared into the night.
Above the wall made of wood, two black figures appeared beside Gong Ji at the same time. One of them said: "Iron Rooster, you performed well. Diao Jing seems to be a bit unworthy of asking you to settle accounts."
"Third brother, before I entered the village, I had been a liar for twenty years, and I almost never failed..."
Gong Ji started to think of ways to add points to himself, but unfortunately he was interrupted by Li Zeping: "Did you see that? Even your second uncle's men are familiar with the gangsters in the cottage."
The other black figure was Situ Benlei, who said with a look of hatred: "We must not let him go this time!"
"Iron Rooster, what are you waiting for? Hello brothers, we have to go!"
"Third brother, my name is Gong Ji."
…
"Second Master, the people in the village may have discovered us and are evacuating quickly now!" Chen An reported to Situ Qiuhui.
Situ Qiu looked nervously and said to Situ Xia, Yu Wen Lingfeng and others: "This is the person I arranged to keep an eye on outside the mountain stronghold. Where there are lights over there is the bandit's nest. We have to chase him there now!"
"Everyone from Hanjian Villa, follow me!" In the forest, more than a hundred riders immediately started running and chased towards the place illuminated by the lights.
"Second brother, let's chase him quickly!" Situ Xia broke into a cold sweat when he heard this.
"More people may not be enough. The mountain road is so narrow, so many people can't run fast together. Brother, why don't we search the cottage first? Maybe Ben Lei is still there."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up!" Situ Xia said anxiously.
"Hey, why don't you chase me?" Situ Qiu saw that only one person wearing a villa costume remained in the following team.
"I also think there are good things in the cottage." He Qizhou, who had already rushed to the front of the team, laughed.
It didn't take long for everyone to arrive outside the fence of the village. The people from Hanjian Villa had already bypassed the village and were chasing the horse bandits who were running south.
"Daddy, I'm here!"
"Father, I am here!"
A pair of men standing side by side on the wall of Beimen Village waved vigorously to the two old men who were rushing to the front of the rescue team.
"Ling'er!"
"Thunder!"
Tuo Bahuan and Situ Xia immediately dismounted and rushed towards the cottage with the gate open.
"Brother, be careful!" After hearing the shouts of the two people on the wall, Situ Qiu felt as if his head had been hit hard from the inside out, his vision went dark, and he even felt like his skull was cracking, but
More than 20 years of experience in politics in Tutang made him calm down immediately, and he wanted to persuade Situ Xia not to go in, so that the gangsters who might still be in the village could kidnap the two young ones again.
"Go away!" Situ Xia, who cared about his only son, could not care so much. He pushed Situ Qiu's arm that was blocking her and rushed into the village quickly.
Except for the two people who rushed down from the wall of the village, the village with dozens of wooden houses was already empty. The two old village owners each hugged their young daughters, with tears streaming down their faces and unable to speak.
"It's okay, it's okay, brother, let's send Ben Lei back first, so that my sister-in-law can feel relieved as soon as possible." Situ Qiu looked very happy.
"Dad, it was because he colluded with the Golden Eagle Gang that I was kidnapped here!" When Situ Benlei heard Situ Qiu's voice, he immediately became furious. After breaking away from his father's arms, he pointed directly at Situ Qiu's nose.
Situ Qiu's face changed drastically and he shouted that something was wrong, but he immediately forced himself to calm down and said: "Ben Lei, you must have been tricked by the Golden Eagle Gang. How could the second uncle collude with the gangsters?"
"Father, he is the boss behind the Golden Eagle Gang. Every time the property is robbed, he takes 80% of it, so we are getting weaker and weaker, but his family is getting stronger and stronger!" Situ Qiu said bitterly.
"Second brother! Is that so?" Although it was unbelievable, Situ Xia certainly believed in his son more, and glared at the innocent-looking Situ Qiu and shouted angrily!
"Brother, I made my fortune after I was promoted to Tutang Captain. Everyone in the clan knows this..."
Situ Benlei shouted angrily: "Fart, you bought this official position with the hard-earned money of our shepherds! Do you think no one heard your conversation with Diao Jing?"
"Impossible, how could you hear it if you were locked up so far away?" Situ Qiu really couldn't imagine how a small cell separated by a row of wooden houses could hear his conversation with Diao Jing.
"Hey, did you spill the beans?" He Qizhou stepped forward and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, he didn't hear it, I heard it."
"Come here, take them all down!" Situ Qiu shouted, and more than ten people immediately surrounded him with knives.
About half of the team of 300 people in the Datta tribe are Situ Qiu's people, including many Tutang masters. Those who follow him are all his close followers. Situ Qiu's idea at this time is that as long as he can control Situ Xia and
Tuobahuan, you can still control the situation in your own hands.
It's a pity that he missed He Qizhou, and the two people who rushed over first flew out. In He Qizhou's eyes, those mediocre people of the third and fourth veins were nothing more than local dogs with missing teeth. With the screams, a
The figure flew backwards, and no one dared to move forward. Just when Situ Qiu wanted to turn around and run away, his eyes blurred, and he was already thrown to Situ Xia's feet.
"Brother, spare your life, I have no choice but to do so." Situ Qiu begged for mercy much faster than he could escape.
"Take down all the guards of the second room's family!" Situ Xia shouted. The men from the Datta tribe who had just started fighting in the village had actually stopped when Situ Qiu was captured. Almost all of Situ Qiu's men
Put down the weapon.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing valuable in the cottage, and there is no ransom we just paid." The tribal warrior who was responsible for searching the cottage as soon as he came in reported some bad news to Situ Xia.
"I have all the property in the village, and I will distribute it to everyone when I get back. As for the latest ransom, you might as well go to Master Situ's house to find it. I guess he never sent it to you," He Qizhou said.
Situ Xia looked at this young man from Hanjian Villa with some confusion.
"Situ Xia, he is He Qizhou, the son of Princess Mingyue, who is wanted by the court. I have decided to go north with him and join our orthodox emperor!" Tuo Bahuan said. In fact, he had already made the decision when he was in Yanchi.
This incident further strengthened the determination to go north.
"Does your tribe have more than 10,000 people? Have you really decided to go?" Situ Xia was a little unbelievable.
"Before I go, I want to make enough hay in Hexi. You won't mind, right?"
"I don't mind. In fact, our Datta Department has also had a very difficult time in these years..."
He Qizhou hurriedly said: "How about we go together! If we win, there won't be so many battles to fight, and there will be no need to pay such heavy taxes. My uncle Helian Chenwu said that if the Zhou Dynasty is unified in the future,
, there will be no distinction between raw and mature weeks. Under the mediation of the imperial court, each tribe can cross the boundaries of counties and graze freely."
Situ Xia seemed a little tempted and said: "Actually, I have thought about this issue after learning that the Eastern Zhou envoys arrived at the Pangu tribe. However, it is extremely cold in the north and there are only a few months of grazing throughout the year. I am really worried about the livelihood of the tribe."
"Brother, don't listen to them! Five thousand Yulin troops are nearby. If we follow now, the entire tribe will be in a situation of irreversible danger!" Situ Qiu said anxiously.
Situ Xia said: "If you don't leave, our Datta tribe will ask you to sell them all! Stop bluffing here. Even if there are really 5,000 officers and soldiers, our two tribes can gather 5,000 troops at least. It's a big deal."
It’s gone!” It’s okay that Situ Qiu didn’t scream, but this scream aroused Situ Xia’s bloody temper.
"Brother Situ, you're right! At worst, I'll fight with them! I won't tolerate Helian Qingfeng's jealousy anymore!" Tuo Bahuan patted Situ Xia. This was the Datta tribe he knew when he was young.
Tough guy.
However, He Qizhou began to pour cold water on him and said: "Situ Qiu did not lie. The leader of the Huotang Hall is ambushing the mountain col with 5,000 Yulin troops 20 miles to the east. Don't say that you gathered 5,000 people, just 5,000.
Thousands of people will die if they go over there! The combat power of those five thousand Royal Forest Army is estimated to be five times that of ordinary cavalry. You are just ordinary herdsmen. No matter how sophisticated your cavalry and archery skills are, you can't defeat Yu Lin if you fight on your own.
Military."
"What should we do? Brother Tuoba, please leave quickly. There is still a lot of hay in my tribe. You can take it with you and set off on the road immediately." Situ Xia said.
"Then what should you do?" Tuo Bahuan asked.
"When I take care of the family affairs, I will expose my second brother's crime of colluding with the gangs to the court. I think if the court wants to continue recruiting troops and taxes from us, it should not make it too difficult for us." Situ Xia said.
He Qizhou shook his head and said: "Situ Qiu has already made an agreement with Shen Tinggu of Huotang. Their Golden Eagle Gang has all surrendered to the imperial court, and now they are officers and soldiers. Therefore, as far as the imperial court is concerned, Situ Qiu is not only innocent.
, and it’s meritorious. If your tribe still wants to stay here, you can’t punish this scum.”
"That's right, the army is right in front of you. Brother, let me go now. You all surrender to me. I can ask Hall Master Shen to let you live." Situ Qiu's mouth became stiff again.
"Father, you must not let him go! He has planned to take my life this time, and then after draining my family's blood, he will replace you as the patriarch! The horse bandit in the village said that last year my fourth uncle's family was wiped out.
, he planned his eldest cousin's death the year before last!" Situ Benlei said anxiously.
"Two foreigners want to come and divide our pasture, so why bother dying? Brother, you are too honest. I only do this to strengthen our Datta tribe!" Situ Qiuqiang argued.
"I'm so angry, just think that your mother has given birth to a beast!" Situ Xia, who could no longer hold back his anger, drew his dagger and stabbed it into Situ Qiu's heart. Then, with tears in his eyes, he choked and said: "You guys
Go quickly, I will explain to the court."
