No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!
Chapter 33 Desperate moment! Shiro, wait a minute, Ah Weng!
It had been a whole day since last night's ambush and killing. Li Changji and other soldiers returned to the military camp after cleaning the battlefield during the day. Other soldiers in the camp swarmed to greet them. General Yang only ordered a hundred people, so they could not kill them together. The enemy, now can only ask the brothers who have returned about what happened on the battlefield.
When Li Changji recalled last night, his hands couldn't help but tremble. The feeling coming from under the knife and the roaring and wailing of the enemy really excited him at first, but now he was just in shock and he needed to calm down.
Everyone in the camp was laughing and joking, everyone was amazed at how well the battle was fought.
"Li Changji!" Deputy General Shen Liukai walked into the camp. The voices in the camp stopped and everyone stood up to salute.
Li Changji cupped his fists and saluted: "My subordinate is here."
Shen Liukai glanced at the young man in front of him expressionlessly, and then said, "Follow me."
"Yes."
When the two of them walked out of the tent, they heard the sounds inside became thicker again, and the gasps were full of envy.
Li Changji followed Shen Liukai to the meeting room. Yang Huang had changed into casual clothes and was discussing something with his staff. When he saw him coming in, he raised his hand to wave away the staff, and returned to his nonchalant expression.
"I asked you to come here this time, first as a reward, and secondly to inquire about something. Lieutenant General, please go out and wait for a while with the staff." Yang Huang cleared the others and saw him pushing a small box forward on the table. He tweeted, "In this battle, the eighty-eight Uighur warriors were wiped out and their plot was directly defeated. Among them, you made the greatest contribution. Not only did you figure out the structure of the entire cave, you also found out the Uighur's strategy. This is the reward you deserve!" "
Yang Huang seemed to dislike other people saluting him in the meeting hall. As soon as Li Changji was about to salute, he raised his hand to interrupt and then went straight to the topic and asked Li Changji to come over and take away the box.
Li Changji went over to hold the box. The box was only two palms long, but it was heavy.
The rewards can be given together in front of everyone after counting. It can be seen that Yang Huang's purpose in finding him is not to reward, but to ask questions.
But Li Changji had no idea what General Yang would ask him, or what he could tell General Yang what he wanted to know?
Yang Huang changed his previous carelessness and put on a serious expression, as sharp and sharp as if he was going into battle to kill an enemy, like a cheetah stretching out its claws. "I heard that there was a military uprising near your village six years ago?"
Li Changji's expression changed, his slightly restrained figure froze, and he nodded cautiously: "Yes."
"Okay, let me ask you, did your wife encounter a scattered group of Uighur cavalry during that military turmoil?"
Li Changji was respectful, but when he heard Yang Huang's question, his expression became sharp as well, and he stared directly into Yang Huang's eyes. However, due to the disparity in status, Li Changji only glanced at him and was forced to lower his eyes.
A tense confrontation inexplicably occurs between a general and a soldier.
Neither of them made a sound.
Yang Huang seemed more experienced and compelling. He didn't want to mince words: "I just want to know something. Six years ago, scattered cavalry from Huihe broke into Xujia Village, massacred the village and kidnapped six women. I found out that the Xu family My daughter Xu Qing is also among them."
Li Changji gritted his teeth: "General Yang, what exactly do you want to ask?"
"I just want to ask, has she ever told what happened after she was kidnapped? She..." As soon as Yang Huang finished speaking, Li Changji was so angry that he threw the box in his hand. The box fell to the ground with a clang, and a dagger and several silver ingots were revealed. Got out.
"General Yang, what do you mean?"
Yang Huang saw that his eyes were red, and then he reached out to pick up the teacup, opened the lid and splashed Li Changji with tea. "I haven't finished talking yet, why are you so impatient? Back then, my sister-in-law was also killed by these beasts. This group of skirmishers captured my sister-in-law, tied her to the back of a horse and dragged her for hundreds of miles. Finally... …When I found her body, the scene was too horrific to watch. It was already three years after I recovered the remaining bones of my sister-in-law. I just want to ask you, has your wife ever told you about the things in the mountains!"
Li Changji's throat twitched, and he let the tea leaves cover his head. The tea dripped down his cheeks, and half of the anger in his heart was gone. "I said something..."
"I have searched for five other women. Most of them had a bad ending and died early. I found out that there was another one. I wanted to set out immediately to find your wife and find out what happened back then, but I never wanted to be delayed by something. After several years of delay, the officials finally released me to lead the troops, so I asked for this place and transferred you and your father over." It turned out that Yang Huang arranged all this.
Li Changji had already relaxed: "General, do you want... revenge?"
"Revenge? I have already killed the person who harmed my sister-in-law with a thousand cuts to comfort her soul in heaven. You only need to answer me, what did your wife see?" Yang Huang came out from behind the table and stared face to face. Li Changji.
"she……"
Li Changji came out of the meeting room with the box in his arms. It was already a quarter of an hour later. When he returned to the tent, he was surrounded again. Everyone was about to celebrate when they suddenly saw the water stains on Li Changji's head and the smell of tea. .
Everyone couldn't help but wonder whether Li Changji was rewarded or scolded.
So the words of congratulations lingered in his mouth, and then they were just a few dry words of comfort.
Li Changji didn't care and went back to sleep with the box in his arms.
The military camp was quiet, but the atmosphere in Shiliang Village on the other side was stagnant.
Before noon, people nearby started to bring food. This group of ferocious bandits actually kept their promise. After handing over the food, the children came out of the village school safely.
Some people also tried to break into the village school, but they were hit by something thrown from inside. The intruder looked down and was so frightened that what was thrown out from the wall turned out to be the body of a child. It looked like he had died. Dead for a long time.
There was chaos outside, and the bandits inside shouted through the courtyard wall: "If people outside dare to break in, just keep trying! We brothers are all desperate for their lives. If we go back with our lives still alive, we will make a profit." You can bet whether you are faster or our sword is faster!"
So no one outside the village school dared to break in.
Many people gathered outside the village school, and most of them were men with machetes in their hands. It was the weapon they used when they were soldiers to kill the enemy. Each one was stained with the blood of foreign enemies. Now they can only wait but cannot It's really frustrating to do it.
At this time, Li Aweng's face was livid, he grabbed the machete and wanted to rush into the village school. He was pulled by several men waiting, who advised him: "Old man, wait a little longer! Maybe their signal is late!"
When Li Aweng was approaching the stone beam, someone shot a wooden arrow from a distance, and there was a piece of cloth hanging on it, with the place where the food was delivered crookedly written on it. So he took his people to the location indicated by the bandits, put down the food and left others to watch, while he hurried to Shiliang Village to learn.
But I never thought that the bandits in the village school would not let him go! Said he didn't receive the signal to hand over food!
fart!
Li Aweng didn't care about being anxious and rushed to the place where the food was handed over. But before he took two steps, he saw the few people watching coming back with their donkeys, and said that the bandits had already transported the food away.
That's okay. When Li Aweng heard this, his blood suddenly surged, and he couldn't care about anything. He drew out his machete and rushed towards the village school immediately.
Then there was a scene where several men grabbed Li Aweng: "Old man, wait a little longer!"
Li Aweng yelled directly: "Ma San! I know it's you! If you have any grievances, come to me. If you do anything to embarrass the child! If you have any other conditions, just tell them! I gave you twenty shi of food, and you are still afraid What else do you want? Or do you want my old life in exchange for my Shiro!!"
Li Aweng, who was usually taciturn, was like an angry shrew, pointing at the closed door of the village school and cursing incessantly.
The people on the side gradually saw the reason. It seemed that someone who had a grudge before had become a bandit and was waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on the old man.
Unexpectedly, when Li Aweng was cursing and cursing, the bandit inside responded: "Are you the Li family that Masan said? Are you the ones who harmed Aaron? Masan, a coward, can't even let out a fart even after being scolded to the head!" What a bastard!!"
"Bah! Since you are bandits, you went down the mountain to steal and were caught. How can I harm them? You are so shameless and say such ridiculous things! Please let Masan talk to me quickly. How can I get my Shiro back? !!”
The bandit inside was not annoyed and laughed: "Old man, if you still have the strength to shout, why not go back and prepare food as soon as possible. If you haven't seen the food after nightfall, then take back the body of your beloved grandson. !Ha ha ha ha!"
"You...!" Now Li Aweng's face was red with anger. He stood in front of the village school and kept struggling. Then his body collapsed and he sat down. The people on the side immediately supported him, but they saw that Li Aweng was already crying with tears.
Even if the food at home is enough, it will take five hours to go back and forth, and it will be dark by then.
What's more, they have no intention of letting him go! !
Li Aweng cried silently in despair. His thick old hand brushed his eyes and wiped away his tears. Then Aweng squeezed the handle of the knife fiercely, used the knife as a crutch, and stood up.
Although the ravines on his face were filled with tears, his eyes were full of ferocity as he stared at the gate of the village school.
In this case, I will be the first person to take revenge! Shiro! Wait a minute, Aweng! !
Another person handed over the food, and then heard the chirping of birds from nowhere. After chirping a few times, a shadow flew out from the courtyard wall. The people who had been waiting outside heard the sound and moved to catch the bird. Something that comes out.
It was a child, his hands and feet were tied behind his back, and something was stuffed in his mouth. He still looked shocked when he was caught. His family members rushed over and hugged the child before they could be happy after being untied. They gathered around him and hurriedly left the place.
Suddenly, a sound of horse hoofbeats came from a distance. The villagers turned around to look in the direction of the hoofbeats, and saw a man wearing indigo official uniform on the horse.
The people from the county government are here!
The villagers' expressions changed and they swarmed over to stop the county captain's horse.
The county lieutenant reined in his horse and shouted urgently: "How dare you! Why did you stop me!"
The villagers begged: "Sir, please calm down. The bandits have said that if anyone from the government approaches, they will kill the children inside immediately. People who are far away are already on their way. I hope you will wait for a while and take care of them." , don’t anger these bandits who are desperate for their lives!”
The county captain had never experienced such coercion, but at this time he also knew the priority of the matter and stared in the direction of the village leader: "Please come over quickly!"
The county lieutenant rolled up his riding whip and handed it to the officer on the side. He saw an old man with an injured leg being helped by two people. The village leader took the lead and led the county lieutenant and a group of officers into the courtyard of a house at the entrance of the village to remind the owner of the yard. Quickly serve hot soup and hot water to entertain the tired servants.
While the officers were eating and drinking, the county captain and the old man were sitting in the courtyard. The old man introduced: "My lord, I am Zhang Shizheng, the village leader of Shiliang Village. I wonder if your lord has any countermeasures to deal with these evil bandits?"
The county magistrate was also straightforward: "After receiving the news this morning, the county magistrate immediately ordered me to rush to Shiliang. On the way, I found clues left by this group of bandits and knew that they were a group of bandits on Lancang Mountain, but the government had not yet Recording this den of thieves, I guess it was either hidden too deeply or it didn’t take long before it became a disaster.”
The county lieutenant had a deep look on his face, and he had the answer in his heart. "I've been running all this way without knowing the situation inside the stone beam. Please tell me the situation immediately."
It turned out that the incident happened last night, around the end of the day. The villagers had already washed up and went to bed. They only heard a commotion outside the village, and some people were shouting: "Kill people! The bandits are coming!!"
For men who had been on the battlefield, they subconsciously resisted, immediately found machetes and went out to meet the enemy.
This was the reaction of ordinary people who were on the border and close to the border defense. Everyone came to their senses in a very short time, and then every household sent a man as if they had agreed, and Muramasa held a gong and said, " "Dang-dang-dang" the rapid sound of the gong suddenly resounded throughout Shiliang Village.
The first few people who heard the news and came out to check were tragically attacked by bandits and died.
While they were investigating the whole village, some people had already rushed to the village to study. Unexpectedly, it was still too late.
The bandits’ target was village school from the very beginning!
Killing innocent villagers only diverts their attention and delays time!
"There are a total of twenty-three children in the village school, nineteen boys and four girls. In the morning, the villagers tried to go in to rescue them. Unexpectedly, the bandits threw out the body of a boy and warned us not to break in. Otherwise, we would have to take action against the remaining boys, so we had no choice but to wait outside. The bandits offered ten stones of corn for one baby as a condition for their release. So far, five boys have come out safely, and there are still ten boys left inside. Seven boys and four girls.”
After listening to Muramasa's words, the county lieutenant also felt that this matter was very difficult.
Obviously, these bandits who kidnapped children in the village school are desperate for their lives. This is the most troublesome. It is difficult to negotiate terms. If things are not done according to their ideas, they will take action.
The fish died and the net broke.
"Sir, there is one more thing."
The county lieutenant was very upset and said in a bad tone: "What's the matter?"
"There is a bandit named Masan in the village school. He seems to have a grudge with Old Man Li from Shangli Village. Others want ten shi of rice but he needs twenty shi. After Old Man Li handed over the grain on time, the bandits did not. He was released as agreed, but instead he was asked to prepare another twenty dan of grain."
The county lieutenant thought for a moment and sent someone to find Li Aweng.
After a while, Li Aweng walked into the yard carrying a machete.
The county lieutenant looked at the lonely and desolate old man, with no other emotions in his eyes except sadness and determination.
Li Aweng: "What are your orders, sir?"
"What's Masan's personality like?"
Li Aweng thought for a while, then suppressed his anger and replied as calmly as possible: "This person used to be idle in the village and did not do farming. He has a cowardly character and is greedy for life and afraid of death. He bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard. He is especially good at changing the situation." Li Aweng was full of resentment in his heart. The kind face in the past was now full of ferocity, and I wished I could eat Asana alive.
"If we persuade him to surrender, does this old man think it is an opportunity?"
Li Aweng shook his head: "This method is feasible if he is the chief, but he just joined the bandits not long ago and has a cowardly temperament. How could the bandits trust him? In the end, he became a death squad in the village school. Even if he wanted to resist, he was unable to resist. Other bandits.”
This method doesn't work either. Can we just wait for nightfall?
In the following day, more than a dozen people brought food to replace them, and the bandits easily let them go. Every time he saw a child being thrown out, Li Aweng's heart felt joy mixed with pain, and he became more filled with hatred. point.
The sun was setting in the west, and no one had brought food over for a long time.
There are three boys and two girls in the village school. Li Aweng knew that there was his Shiro and Yu Lang from Xia Li Village. Their family was not a good one and they didn't want to save him at all. Others couldn't get any food at all, and some only brought three or four stones and begged the bandits to let them go, but there was no response.
Things tend to be calm before big things happen.
Everyone surrounded the village school in silence, waiting for the moment that was about to break out.
Li Aweng stood in front of the gate of the village school, like a bow ready to go, and the blade of the sword he used to kill the enemy was sharpened to a shine.
While waiting in the afternoon, he squatted in front of the village school to sharpen his knife. Every time he sharpened it, the people next to him felt their necks get colder.
When the children were thrown out, the county lieutenant checked them one by one, but at this time they no longer knew where they were. How long it took for the children to come out, and how long the county lieutenant and the guards disappeared.
"Could your lord have gone back?" Someone in the crowd quietly wondered.
"Don't talk nonsense! If your Excellency went back, why did you take a few of our people with you?"
As the light became darker and darker, suddenly, the cry of a child came from the village school. Li Aweng held the knife and roared: "Come in!!"
The other villagers, who had long been unable to hold back, followed Li Aweng and rushed forward. The group of people burst out with the same momentum as when fighting against foreign enemies, and the shouts suddenly rang through the sky.
The door of the village school did not survive the collision of the crowd, and the door panel smashed straight to the ground. Li Aweng rushed in with a knife, and saw that it was Li Silang that Masan was holding in his hand.
Li Silang stared at Li Aweng with his eyes wide open, neither crying nor making trouble, and the three of them immediately confronted each other.
The knife in Li Aweng's hand trembled slightly. He swallowed gently, his throat moved, but he didn't know what to say to comfort his little grandson.
Masan had unkempt hair and dirty face, and his face was bruised and swollen. It seemed that he was not doing well among the bandits. The sharp knife in his hand was pressed tightly against Li Silang's neck. It only had to be embedded in for a moment, and the child's tender skin would burst open in an instant.
The bandit on the side teased him leisurely: "Ma San, you are so brave at this time! If I can go back, I..." Before he could finish his words, Masan's blade was turned and his head was separated.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden "betrayal".
I saw "Ma San" just throwing Li Silang to Li Aweng, and then he lifted the hair that was covering his face, revealing a pair of bright eyes: "Aweng, it's me."
Li Aweng suddenly heard a familiar voice, and his eyes filled with tears. It was Li Erlang! !
"Second brother!" Li Silang yelled. Li Erlang knew what he meant immediately and quickly raised his hand to let him out: "You and Aweng go out, and after I kill these bandits, I will take them out."
The man who rushed into the yard with Li Aweng immediately understood the situation. This "Ma San" was Li Aweng's grandson!
He has been lurking in the village school for so long! How on earth is this done!
