"This can't be done." Sun Zhao frowned and shook his head: "With so many people there, it would be easy to scare off the enemy."
"It makes sense." Yu Zifu said: "After all, we have to sneak in secretly, so the number of people should not be too large. Let's send a team each."
"Only one team, too few people." Zhuang Weizhe frowned: "I heard that water bandits are rampant in Fengshui County."
Yu Zifu smiled: "What I want is that everyone should rely on their own abilities."
Zhuang Weizhe pursed his lips and looked at Lin Chu, "It's so dangerous, can you agree?"
Lin Chu half frowned: "In that case, I accept it."
"Excellent, excellent." Yu Zifu smiled and looked at Zhuang Weizhe: "Who are you going to take, Third Young Master Zhuang?"
As soon as the words stopped, everyone in the battalion shrank their bodies, lowered their heads and frowned, for fear of being affected by Zhuang Weizhe's gaze.
Zhuang Weizhe took a deep breath, and disappointment flashed in his eyes. He glanced sideways at Wu Youran, and the man let out an ouch, with a face full of pain: "I'm injured, and there's nothing I can do for you, Third Young Master, to help."
"Oh, my stomach hurts so much, I can't go."
"My aunt's cousin's uncle's seventh uncle is sick with intestinal tract infection. I'm heartbroken and can't go anywhere."
The whole battalion was talking to each other, but for a long time no one was willing to fight.
Lin Chu watched calmly, silently sympathizing with Zhuang Weizhe. This situation... is it surprising? Is it unexpected?
Zhuang Weizhe looked calm and lowered his eyes to hide his anger: "I won't take anyone with me from the first battalion!"
"Are you going by yourself?" Sun Zhao glanced at him: "No!"
"Of course not." Zhuang Weizhe said: "Suppressing the banditry is a big deal. Students will never show off their courage, but they are not willing to go the same way as the cowardly juniors. Please allow the students to lead the Zhuang family there."
"This..." Sun Zhao muttered: "I'm afraid it's against the rules."
"Okay, okay." Yu Zifu said with a smile: "In urgent matters, follow the authority. No matter who goes, as long as they can eliminate the banditry, it will be a great good. I wish you immediate success!"
The farce came to an end, and the two teams geared up and set off on their own.
Fengshui County is not far from Xishan, and the entire county is built along the Fenghe River.
Fenghe River is a tributary of Lingshui River. It has extremely wide waters and fast currents. It has been one of the important docks for various states and counties to travel to and from Beijing since ancient times. There are abundant aquatic products here, and the people rely on the water to drink. Their lives should be prosperous. However, due to the Fei River located in the upper reaches of the Fenghe River,
Due to Shark Castle's troubles, the people of Fengshui County had trouble even having enough food and clothing.
Fenghe River is vast and there is no land in sight. For decades, no one has known the specific location of Fei Shark Fort. The local officials of Fengshui County have sent troops to encircle and suppress it several times, but either returned without success or never returned.
Over time, Fei Shark Castle became the dominant force in Fengshui County, and no one dared to mess with it.
Lin Chu did not say hello to the magistrate of Fengshui County, but directly led her team to Cao Village.
Cao Village is the closest village to Fenghe River and is built on the beach on the river bank. Lin Chu led everyone to the beach and took a closer look. The villagers had not yet put away the fishing nets they had set up to dry. It was peaceful. However, no smoke was seen rising.
"This village looks normal. It doesn't look like it was just massacred." Duanmuyan said in a low voice.
"That's right." Mei Zhi held the corner of her clothes and her voice trembled slightly: "How about... let's go back first. Can the county magistrate please send a few people down to visit together?"
"Are you stupid?" Shi Feifei curled her lips: "With two official Chinese characters, what else can he do besides eating, drinking and asking for money? Do you think he doesn't know about such a big thing as the military camp mobilization? Even if you are really willing to send people here, you
Do you think he will help Zhuang Weizhe or us?"
Mei Zhi pursed her lips and hunched over: "I... I just made a suggestion."
"Why are you scaring him?" Zhong Si frowned: "We are all on the same journey!"
"Sixth Master." She looked at Lin Chu: "You just tell us what we are going to do next."
Lin Chu's eyes were cold and dark like stars: "We have to find evidence first!"
