Back Off, Let Me Come

The question Zhai Huan raised was exactly what Yang Duwei wanted to know.

At this moment, Zhai Le thought of something, and cautiously asked Captain Yang for confirmation: "Does Captain Yang know... about the disturbance in Lingzhou?"

Captain Yang was stunned for a moment.

It's not that he has a problem with understanding, but that Zhai Le can understand every word of what he said, but why can't he digest it together?

What is "Lingzhou Rebellion"?

He couldn't believe it.

He stood up on the spot, his eyes as wide as bells.

It paced back and forth like a raging beast, its breath was dangerous and uneasy, and the ground under its feet would be trampled out of two pits. Finally, he asked hoarsely, "What did you say...Lingzhou?"

What happened in Lingzhou?

When did the incident happen in Lingzhou?

Brother Zhai Le's reaction was even more shocked than his.

You really don’t know?

This, this... Rao they don't know what to say. Zhai Le had no choice but to give a rough explanation of the situation, but he lied about the source of the information. He only said that he passed by a tea shop not long ago and heard a discussion among merchants, and did not name Shen Tang.

Although he didn't know why Brother Shen wanted to intercept the tax money, he believed that Brother Shen was a sincere and honest gentleman. Even if he did evil things, he would do it for a reason - not to mention, it might not be considered an evil thing. He could clearly see what was going on in Sibao County.

To be able to squeeze out so much tax money from a group of skinny people, and also give away a large number of rare treasures in addition to the tax money to please the king Zheng Qiao, the governor of Sibao County is also a ruthless person!

From this point of view, Zhai Le prefers Shen Tang.

Therefore, he remained tight-lipped.

He never revealed his speculation to Captain Yang.

Yang Duwei: "I don't know, I have never received this news..."

His liver was shaking with anger, the whites of his eyes were covered with blood-red spider threads, and his eyes were as fierce as if he wanted to eat ten people in one meal.

His nose was flaring, he was breathing heavily, and his fists were pinched so hard that his knuckles creaked. Suddenly he thought of something, and his anger surged like gunpowder, and he cursed: "That's not right - there is chaos in Lingzhou, and the county guard is at this juncture, so he has to pay tribute." What does tax money do?”

Zhai Le interjected softly: "Maybe the county guard doesn't know either?"

Captain Yang couldn't suppress his anger at all, and his voice suddenly rose: "How could he not know? If he doesn't even know this, does his life depend on luck?"

Zhai Le: "..."

This... I can't say for sure.

But if Sibao County fell, what good would it do to him as the governor?

Zhai Huan said: "Don't be angry, Captain Yang. We still don't know which force is besieging Xiaocheng. It may not be the rebel forces in Lingzhou. On the other hand, if it is really them, it will be a good thing."

Lieutenant Yang reluctantly swallowed his anger and asked with red eyes, "Why did Mr. Zhai say that? If those mobs were causing trouble..."

Zhai Huan said: "It is difficult for a mob to become a great weapon."

Captain Yang choked.

As a brave warrior, he agrees with Zhai Huan's point of view. A group of makeshift old and weak soldiers, even if they are large in number, are only scary on the surface. The ratio of their brave warriors is too low, who makes it difficult for ordinary people to have enough food and clothing?

They will rebel because they don't have enough to eat. Like a snowball, people in the same situation will respond wherever they go. But - can a group of people who don't have enough to eat get enough to eat together?

How much fighting power can you gain if you fight on an empty stomach?

How much of a threat can it pose?

Even if the garrison in Xiaocheng chooses to be a coward, unable to retreat, delaying the defense of the city, and fighting for food and grass, they can drag the enemy to death. What is really scary is if the enemy army attacking the city is a well-trained "regular army" with ample food and grass, then it will be dangerous.

Captain Yang scratched his bun irritably.

He really couldn't think of other possibilities...

Seeing that there was no breakthrough on Captain Yang's side, Zhai Huan could only shake his head secretly and was helpless - now he could only take one step at a time.

In private, he found that his cousin looked sick.

Naturally, he asked a lot of questions.

Zhai Le Qiqi Ai Ai: "Brother, I, I——"

Zhai Huan: "Don't lie, you've never been good at this."

Zhai Le was immediately discouraged: "...Oh, that's it...I actually have suspicions about that group of gangsters last night..."

Zhai Huan was not surprised and just asked: "Qi Yuanliang?"

Zhai Le was shocked: "Brother also knows?"

Zhai Huan almost laughed angrily: "What's so difficult about this?"

Do you really think that the literary scholar who can suppress him is so easy to meet? Ah Le thinks that everyone is as innocent as him and believes that there are coincidences in the world? From the moment Qi Shan appeared until the tax money was robbed, even if Qi Shan didn't do anything, Zhai Huan would immediately suspect him.

No reason, just because too coincidental is not a coincidence!

Coupled with Zhai Le's expression of being unable to hide something...

He asked: "How did you know?"

Zhai Le said: "Oh, because of Brother Shen's sword."

There is almost no possibility of making a mistake.

The corners of Zhai Huan's mouth twitched, trying to match the "Brother Shen" that Zhai Le often mentioned with the strong man with the scarred face last night.

"But he's not a literary scholar?"

Zhai Le said: "Yes, he is a scribe."

Zhai Huan: "...you call that a literary scholar?"

He was speechless, and it took him a long time to glance at Duwei Yang who was in a mess in the distance, as if he had a breath stuck in his chest, which made him uncomfortable.

Zhai Le rubbed his chin, hesitating slightly: "He has a literary spirit and a Wenxin monogram... He is indeed a Wenxin scholar, that's right."

Zhai Huan: "..."

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other.

Shen Tang, who was chanted by the two, felt a little itchy on the tip of his nose, and sneezed violently uncontrollably.

Open your eyes and half sit up.

When I woke up it was already dark.

The air was filled with an earthy smell mixed with the smell of blood.

She rubbed her forehead and thought about it carefully.

Haha, there is no suspense, I can’t think of anything.

Once you are born, you will be familiar with it twice. If you are familiar with it three times and four times, you will be familiar with the road.

She knew that she was drinking fragments, and she didn't make a fuss if she changed the environment. After a while, Chu Yao and the others came back empty-handed, making her mistakenly think that the robbery of tax money had failed.

"Goro is awake?"

"How was the action last night?"

Chu Yao: "Everything goes well."

"Where's the tax money?"

Chu Yao handed her a parchment drawing and said: "Of course I buried it and took it out after the storm has passed. Does your head still hurt? I don't know where Qi Yuanliang got the strong liquor. You fought with someone last night." He seemed to be dying... there will be no next time!"

Although Goro's bravery and toughness are comparable to others after being drunk, he also lost some of the "reason" that ordinary people have, and he doesn't pay attention to his body at all. Fortunately, those were minor injuries, and the amount of blood seemed to be large, most of which were from the enemy.

Qishan appeared like a ghost and said out of nowhere, "Chu Wuhui, although there are formations in battle, courage is the basis. Mr. Shen Xiaolang is brave against the enemy and is not afraid of life and death. What's wrong?"

Chu Yao asked in return: "Is Wulang a warrior?"

When Shen Tang heard it, his mind, which was originally not in pain, buzzed instantly. She hurriedly waved her hands and jumped up: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Now that everything is settled, let's go back quickly. We still have to pick up Lin Feng to go home. If you stay a few days late, you will get angry with me..."

She shamelessly used Lin Feng as a shield.

Chu Yao snorted and refused to argue with Qi Shan.

The four of them took a short rest and prepared to return.

Her good mood came to an abrupt end in an official tea shop.

1. Although there are battles in battle, courage is the foundation: from "Mozi", the general meaning is that although there are battle sequences in war, courage is the root of victory.
