Nightwatcher

Chapter 716: Yang Qianhuan's Ingenious Plan

The brothers and sisters walked while talking, and after half an hour, they turned into the official road from the secluded narrow path.

The official road suddenly became lively, not in the usual sense, but on both sides of the official road, many refugees gathered.

They were wearing tattered clothes, some were trying to dig grass and tree roots, some were sitting in a daze, and some were lying on haystacks, dying. .

Among the crowd, there are also simple tents.

This place is very far away from the city, what are they doing here, and they have nothing to eat. Chu Caiwei is a little confused when he sees it.

When she retracted her eyes and looked at Yang Qianhuan in front of her, she found that he was already wearing a veiled hat, and what was hanging down was not light gauze, but thick cotton cloth, the kind of thick cotton cloth that extraordinary warriors could not see through .

"Mom, I'm so hungry"

On the side of the road, a six or seven-year-old boy curled up in his mother's arms.

The mother and son were unkempt, starving and skinny.

"Stay for a while longer, and you won't be hungry after a while."

The young mother held the baby in her arms, shivering in the cold wind, and said, "You won't be hungry when you fall asleep."

The young mother had many bruises on her face, dark red blood on her wrists, and pale lips, as if she was suffering from injuries.

Chu Caiwei's eyes reflected the helpless and numb expression of the young woman, as well as the child's desire for food and fear of hunger.

She walked over slowly, knelt down in front of the mother and child, and took out two steamed buns wrapped in butter paper from her deerskin pocket.

In an instant, a pair of bloodshot eyes looked over, glowing with an indescribable light, as if it was not from human beings.

The young woman took the steamed buns, shook the drowsy child awake, and said eagerly:

"Eat fast, eat fast"

At the same time, while stuffing steamed buns into her mouth, she grabbed the sharpened stones beside her, and scanned the surrounding refugees with fierce eyes who swallowed their saliva and were eager to try.

During the process, she kept urging the child to eat faster.

Chu Caiwei saw the boy's choking eyes turn white, quickly took out the water bag and handed it over, and said softly:

"Slow down and drink some water."

While the boy was drinking water, Chu Caiwei looked at the young woman and asked:

"What are you doing here?"

From what she has seen and heard, there are roughly three ways of living for refugees. One is to become bandits and loot other people, just like locusts crossing the border, and the people who were looted also become refugees, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger.

One is stuck outside the city, relying on the alms of the court to survive, or looking for something to eat in the mountains and plains.

One is to enlist in the army and become a militia.

In the last case, the least number of people are selected. First, the imperial court has limited food and grass and cannot support too many militiamen. Secondly, Qingzhou is fighting a war. They become militiamen and will soon be transported to the Qingzhou battlefield.

And this group of refugees gathered here, sitting in the cold wind waiting to die without going to the village or back to the shop?

The young woman took two bites of steamed buns, stopped eating them, held them in her hand, and said in a hoarse voice:

"There is a mountain six miles ahead, and there is a mountain king on the mountain. They go out to grab things every now and then, and every time they come back after they grab something, they will send someone over to deliver some food."

Seeing that the child had finished eating the steamed buns, the young woman handed over the one in her hand:

"Let's eat."

She then looked at Chu Caiwei, and after examining it, she begged in a low voice:

"Girl, can you take my child away?"

Chu Caiwei was taken aback. She definitely couldn't take a child with her. This boy looked about the same age as Xu Lingyin, but he was thin and timid, obviously not as good as Xu Lingyin to support.

Moreover, she was exiled by the Sitianjian, traveling around, and the frail children could bear the pain of running around.

Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly heard the young woman mourning:

"I can't keep him anymore. Those people look at him more and more strangely. Someone quietly took my child away last night. Fortunately, I woke up in time and beat them to death."

Chu Caiwei suddenly understood what was going on with the bruise on her face and the dark red blood on her hands.

At this moment, Chu Caiwei could hardly breathe.

At this time, she moved her ears and heard the sound of horseshoes.

She got up, looked towards the official road ahead, and saw a cavalry team galloping towards them, led by a beautiful woman in a black dress, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of heroism.

"crash"

The lifeless refugees "lived" instantly, bounced off the ground, and moved towards the cavalry.

Snapped!

The woman in the black skirt twitched her horsewhip, forcing back the refugees who came up, and scolded:

"Line up in line, whoever dares to rush, my aunt will be beaten to death."

The refugees seemed to be extremely afraid of her, and lined up peacefully.

The cavalrymen dismounted from their horses, each with a cloth bag containing steamed buns, and each of them handed out one.

When every refugee received food, the cloth bag was empty.

The woman in the black dress rode on horseback, looked Yang Qianhuan and Chu Caiwei up and down, and said:

"Look at your clothes, you don't look like disaster victims, where are you from?"

Chu Caiwei was about to speak when she saw Yang Qianhuan floating up into the air, with her back to the crowd, and said slowly:

"Inviting the moon to pick up the stars, there is no one like me in the world.

"Heaven did not give birth to me, Yang Qianhuan, and I will worship the ages like a long night."

Including the refugees, everyone present was dumbfounded and looked in awe.

The woman in the black dress was full of apprehension, but she didn't dare to make a fuss, and said in a deep voice:

"What is your purpose here?"

She quietly gripped the handle of the knife.

Not long ago, the government sent troops to attack the mountain in an attempt to exterminate them.

Although he was repelled in the end, Li Lang expected that the government would not let it go. At this juncture, a mysterious figure with good cultivation suddenly appeared, most likely a master sent by the imperial court.

Yang Qianhuan said slowly:

"I'm here to visit my friend Li Lingsu, have you heard about it?"

The sun hangs lukewarmly in the sky, unable to bring any warmth. In this small cottage that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, smoke is curling up from the kitchen.

A man in shabby cotton clothes, carrying a bamboo basket, came to the watchtower at the entrance of the cottage, and shouted loudly:

"Come down to eat."

"OK."

On the watchtower, the guy in charge of the watch responded. At this moment, he suddenly wondered:

"Hey, the fourth master is back, why did he bring so many people back?"

The woman in the black skirt rushed to the outside of the cottage, and made a "come back safe" gesture with the guards on the watchtower.

The gate of the village opened slowly.

"Four masters, how did you bring back those disaster victims outside?"

A guard stepped forward to lead the horse attentively. At the same time, his eyes kept drifting to the girl in the yellow skirt behind him.

With big almond eyes, a slightly thin face, and delicate and delicate features, she is an extremely rare beauty.

The woman in the black skirt said lightly:

"These are not our people, let's arrange them casually."

After a brief explanation, she got off the horse and led Chu Caiwei inside.

Along the way, passing through simple wooden houses and loess houses, they arrived at the destination, which was still a loess house, but with a fence around the outside.

The woman in the black skirt shouted:

"Li Lang, come out, someone is looking for you."

In a short time, three people came out of the room, the one in the middle was impeccably handsome, with a dignified appearance, he was a good man in the world.

On the right is a beautiful woman in a white dress with a gentle temperament, and on the left is a woman in purple with fair skin and clear eyes.

They are all very beautiful beauties.

After seeing Chu Caiwei, Bai Qun and Zi Yi frowned slightly, and their eyes became vigilant.

"Miss Caiwei!"

Li Lingsu, who had been in contact with Yang Qianhuan earlier, was not surprised at all, looked left and right, and said:

"Where's Brother Yang?"

At this moment, Yang Qianhuan's reciting voice came from the roof tiles:

"Heaven does not give birth to me, Yang Qianhuan, who worships the ages like a long night.

"Inviting the moon to pick up the stars, there is no one like me in the world."

Everyone looked back and saw that on the black tiles, a man in white was standing with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering.

This made the women in white skirts and purple clothes who didn't know the details feel admiration, thinking that this is an extraterrestrial expert.

Even the woman in the black dress who had heard two lines of the poem was still full of astonishment.

Li Lingsu said to the three women:

"Let me introduce to you, this is Yang Qianhuan from the Sitianjian. Just call him Senior Brother Yang. He is the third disciple of the supervisor."

Then three more women were introduced.

The girl in the white skirt is called "Zhao Susu", and her father is a county magistrate; the girl in purple is called "Yu Hanxiu", and her father is the leader of a certain local power; The practice of the environment.

"Susu is proficient in arithmetic and can help me manage the accounts and manage the expenses of the entire village. Xiu'er used to help her father train and manage the congregation. The order in the village depends entirely on her. Lan'er has the strongest cultivation and is responsible for me. Go out and grab the landlord."

Li Lingsu said: "Miaozhen is right. I'm not expected to lead soldiers to fight, and I can't learn it even if she teaches me. Fortunately, there are a lot of talents in my acquaintance and love."

Yang Qianhuan held back for a long time, and spit out a sentence:

"As expected of you!"

Li Lingsu waved his hand, and invited Yang Qianhuan and Chu Caiwei into the house for tea, saying:

"How did you come here? Is there something important to deal with?"

Wearing a veiled hat, Yang Qianhuan, who was sitting with his back to the crowd, remained silent.

Chu Caiwei said:

"Senior Brother Yang planned to donate all of Si Tianjian's belongings in order to overshadow Xu Qi'an in the limelight, which aroused Senior Brother Song's dissatisfaction and reported him. So we were exiled by Teacher Jianzheng."

Li Lingsu held back for a long time, and spit out a sentence:

"As expected of you!

"Then why did you come out, girl Caiwei? Why do you need to participate in it?"

Chu Caiwei said with some embarrassment:

"Take people's food and do things for them. Brother Yang invited me to dinner."

As expected of you, Li Lingsu, complaining in your heart.

At this time, Yang Qianhuan said:

"I brought back the group of disaster victims I met on the way. I plan to gather refugees like you and occupy the mountain as king. I will take care of the food and grass, but they have to live in Brother Li's village for the time being."

Yang Qianhuan and Chu Caiwei brought the victims together.

Li Lingsu glanced at Zhao Susu who was in charge of expenses, saw her nodding, and immediately agreed:

"It's easy to say, it's easy to plunder the grain depot of the rich and unkind with Brother Yang's elusive teleportation letter."

Yang Qianhuan shook his head:

"I don't want to plunder. If I want food and grass, I just buy it."

Zhao Susu heard the words, smiled and said:

"Senior Brother Yang, this is not a small expense, the price of food has risen now"

Before I finished speaking, I heard Chu Caiwei say:

"When we left Sitianjian, Teacher Jianzheng gave each of us 50,000 taels."

Li Lingsu was dumbfounded: "Fifty thousand taels of silver, Si Tianjian is really generous."

Chu Caiwei shook her head:

"It's gold."

Kill people and rob money, Li Lingsu said heartily.

Yang Qianhuan said in a deep voice:

"My purpose this time, apart from not enduring the suffering of the people and giving a helping hand, the main purpose is to gather momentum and become an army that cannot be underestimated."

"Then go to Qingzhou to fight? It seems that brother Yang and I are in the same path." Li Lingsu said with emotion.

Yang Qianhuan was silent for a while, and said:

"Of course this is one of the goals. In addition, this is actually a method I came up with to suppress Xu Qi'an."

Although he didn't know why he could suppress Xu Qi'an in this way, Li Lingsu felt happy when he heard the words "suppress Xu Qi'an", and hurriedly asked:

"how you said that."

Yang Qianhuan said lightly:

"Xu Qi'an, a bastard, has always been in the limelight by catering to the people. I can't catch up no matter what, it's really disheartening."

His confidante are all extraordinary, which is really disheartening. Li Lingsu agreed deeply: "Oh, Brother Yang knows me."

Yang Qianhuan's tone was still flat, because he was confident:

"But recently, I suddenly came up with a clever plan. As long as it succeeds, the three names of Yang Qianhuan can surpass Xu Qi'an."
