Lin Shucheng was shocked.
Someone else on the other side yelled, "Keep your voice down."
Lin Shucheng hurried into the house, put his ear against the wall, and could barely hear the words on the other side:
"Boss, this Lin Xueqing is not an ordinary person. The first time the government gave him a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, but the next day, I don't know what he did, the reward increased to 15,000 taels of silver, and we can only capture him alive..."
"I heard he can train soldiers? Aren't we just in need of such talent?"
"Oh, how can a little girl be offered a reward of 20,000 taels?"
"Boss, you don't know this, right? Looking at that crossbow, I know that it is definitely not something that ordinary people can make. Even the skilled craftsmen in the capital can't make it. But that little girl can easily draw a blueprint. If we can win her over, maybe there will be more useful things in the future."
"Isn't it? Didn't Brother Xu also say that the people from Langya Village have found out that they can make black gunpowder? A tree as big as a bowl can fall down at any time..."
Then, that steady voice sounded, and their leader said, "That's exactly why I want to kill them all. I don't know where this guy learned this from. No matter if it's Prince Jing, Prince Ning, or that dog emperor, any force can easily win if they get hold of him."
The voice paused for a moment, then turned gloomy again: "Even if he is willing to surrender, we must be cautious and vigilant. We must see his character. If he is a selfish person, we must kill him."
Lin Shucheng felt furious when he heard this.
He even pulled his daughter aside to complain: "Do these people really think they are the saviors? They will be killed if they don't surrender, and they will also be killed if they are selfish? Do you think this is human language?"
Lin Shucheng lowered his voice, his anger rising to the top of his head, "Why don't they go to heaven? Do they really think they are so important? My daughter, let me tell you, since ancient times, rebel armies like theirs are fine at the beginning, but you will see later, they will definitely not last long."
Lin Jinyue calmed his father down, "Dad, calm down. We have heard about their plan, so we won't be caught off guard by them."
Lin Shucheng suppressed the anger in his heart, squatted in the corner against the wall of the inn, and listened to these people talking.
"Boss, Brother Xu sent a message that Qingquan Town may not be peaceful anymore. What do you think, should we move to Lingnan?"
"That won't work. Lingnan is not a good choice. Although Lingnan is remote and difficult to attack, the governor of Lingnan is the most loyal. To put it bluntly, he is the emperor's dog. If he finds out that we are in Lingnan, he will definitely search for us."
"Is that old man a stubborn person? He was demoted to a remote place after advising the emperor, but he still wanted to be loyal to the emperor, not even considering whether the emperor was worth serving."
In short, after discussing it, those people decided to use Sui County as a base.
Lin Shucheng cursed in a low voice: "Is this Red Turban Army against our family? Sui County is not far from Shawan County. If they come here every now and then to cause trouble, it will be really annoying every day."
Lin Jinyue glanced at the map and said, "I think Sui County is a good choice. If we don't consider sea transportation, the geographical location is much better than Shawan Town. It seems that there are smart people among them."
Lin Shucheng suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Why was it so difficult to live a peaceful and stable life in ancient times?
Lin Shucheng squatted there and listened for a while. Fortunately, the Red Turban Army had not settled down yet.
Because the Red Turban Army was worried that while General Gu was fighting, the governor of Lingnan would also besiege the rebels, and they would be attacked from both sides.
The next morning, Lin Jinyue and Lin Shucheng began to inquire about the Red Turban Army in the city.
There was no hiding anything. While she was asking questions, her father also bought her some small things.
When I learned that the Red Turban Army was small in number, and only had a few thousand men...
Lin Jinyue said, forget it, what can three thousand people do?
So Lin Jinyue didn't worry about them and prepared to leave with her father.
Who knew that when I was leaving the city gate, I found several people following me.
Lin Shucheng deliberately slowed down his pace, turned around suddenly and faced those people.
Those people had no time to dodge, so Lin Shucheng took out the crossbow from his sleeve and pointed it directly at their heads.
Lin Shucheng's voice was as cold as ice: "Get lost."
Those people drew their swords together, with fierce looks on their faces.
Lin Shucheng didn't give in either. He pulled the trigger and an arrow flew out, almost passing by their leader's face and finally got nailed on a tree.
Lin Shucheng: "Get lost, don't make me say it a third time."
Zhao Tianquan, the leader of the Red Turban Army, no longer had any intention of attacking Qiao. Originally, they were planning to follow and investigate, but who knew that not only were they exposed, but they also had arrows pointed at their heads.
He was really afraid that Lin Shucheng would accidentally fire his gun. He was not sure that the six of them could defeat Lin Shucheng, as they did not have bows and arrows.
Moreover, it is not known whether the mysterious weapon in Lin Shucheng's hand will be used against them.
Zhao Tianquan immediately smiled and said, "Brother Lin, don't get me wrong, we have no ill intentions... We are the Red Turban Army, and we just want to discuss something with you."
Lin Shucheng cursed in his heart, don't trust him, this guy doesn't tell the truth.
However, he still held the crossbow and pretended to be alert: "If you say it is, then it is? I also said that I am the confidant of Prince Jing."
Lin Shucheng put his left hand on the crossbow, ready to attack: "I don't care whether you are the Red Turban Army or any other army. My daughter is the only one here today, and I'm afraid she will be scared. Otherwise, all of your heads will explode."
Lin Jinyue was still complaining in her heart that her father acted so well that the Red Turban Army would definitely not doubt their motives anymore.
Otherwise, their group is still being hunted by Prince Jing. If they can easily trust anyone who comes, wouldn't it be too easy to arouse suspicion?
Zhao Tianquan directly took out a stack of papers from his clothes...
No, to be precise, it’s a pile of portraits.
There are wanted posters all over it.
Zhao Tianquan took out one and said, "Look, this is my wanted order, as well as those of the brothers around me. They are all thorns in the eyes of Prince Jing and Xie Hong."
Lin Shucheng took a look and was surprised. Zhao Tianquan, the rebel leader, was only rewarded with 12,000 taels of silver, while his daughter was rewarded with 20,000 taels of silver and his son with 10,000 taels of silver.
Oh, that's not right. When Zhao Tianquan took out another one, it turned out that Lin Xueqing's reward was already 15,000 taels, and behind Lin Jinyue's 20,000 was written that he had to be captured alive.
Lin Shucheng felt an inappropriate sense of pride in his heart.
Oh, no, I was wanted, not earning tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Zhao Tianquan said, "I think if you pass through the town, you can see it if you pay attention. I can't forge this wanted order."
Lin Shucheng looked at them suspiciously, and after a while, he put down the crossbow.
