In fact, after getting angry, Cao County Lieutenant gradually calmed down and felt that the possibility of cooperation between Erlang Mountain and Linshan Village was not very high. It was most likely that the two bandits from Erlang Mountain sneaked into Linshan Village to do something bad.
As a result, he was caught.
Then, Lin Xu sent them here and provoked a relationship between their government and Erlang Mountain.
However, Captain Ren went to the Erlang Mountain camp, but did not bring the crazy monk over, which made him suspicious again!
If the crazy monk had no evil intentions, then why didn’t he dare to come?!
After thinking about it, the more Caoxian Wei thought about it, the more he felt that there must be something going on between Erlang Mountain and Linshan Village!
He did not dare to entrust his superiors, so he immediately arranged for Captain Ren to go to the county government and report the matter to Xuzhi County!
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, he won't be able to take the responsibility!
...
Yesterday afternoon, the spies sent by Xu Nianmin came back to report to him that two hundred guardsmen had left Suzhou Prefecture, led by a command officer, and were on their way to Jiangling at full speed!
If nothing else happens, these sergeants will be able to arrive in Jiangling at the latest this evening!
Xu Nianmin felt that Mr. Tai Tai only arranged for two hundred guardsmen to come, which was a little too few.
However, when he thought about it, it might be that Mr. Tai did not pay attention to the rebels in Linshan Village at all, and believed that these two hundred soldiers, coupled with the cooperation of Jiangling Mansion soldiers, were enough to wipe out all the rebels.
!
In fact, Xu Nianmin doesn't care much whether the number of guards sent by Mr. Nie Tai is more or less. What he mainly values is Mr. Nie Tai's supportive attitude towards this matter!
For this reason, he booked all the restaurants in the county in advance to welcome these guards who came from afar!
At this moment, Xu Nianmin was sitting in the study room of the county government office, drinking tea with Master Song while waiting for the arrival of the guards.
A follower suddenly walked in.
"Have the guards arrived?"
Xu Nianmin stood up immediately with a happy face and wanted to go out to greet him!
"Sir, the guards haven't arrived yet! Captain Cao has arranged for Captain Ren to come over. He said he has something urgent to report to you!"
The attendant said cautiously.
"Nothing has happened for five days. Why did Lao Cao send someone to report it now? Could it be that something went wrong?"
Xu Nianmin murmured to himself, and he couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart, and asked: "Where are the people?"
"Just waiting outside!"
"Let him in!"
Under the guidance of his entourage, Captain Ren immediately walked into the back hall, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully: "Master Xu!"
"Okay, get up!"
Xu Nianmin raised his hand impatiently: "Ren Fei, what happened?"
"Sir, this is what happened. Cao County Lieutenant learned that there seemed to be signs of collusion between Erlang Mountain and Linshan Village, so he immediately arranged for the young man to return to the city to report to you..."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Nianmin couldn't help being shocked: "Erlangshan colluded with Linshan Village?! Is it true or false?! Is this news reliable?!"
"We caught a spy. According to his account, Erlangshan sent him to Linshan Village to negotiate a deal..."
