"The thief is coming!"
A scout ran back to Baijiapu like flying.
This scout's name is Shi Jian, a member of the Gao family village group. He was one of the two people who followed the private salt dealers Lao Zhu and Lao Zhang to learn how to be a scout during the last battle.
After learning from the last battle, he now looks a bit like a scout.
Cheng Xu poked his head out from the fortress wall: "Tell me more."
Shi Jian hurriedly said: "The captain of Bu Zhanni's second team lights up the lamp. He leads about two thousand? Three thousand? Yeah, anyway, almost this number of people have already arrived very close to us."
Cheng Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This scout was still a bit weak and his report was a complete mess. Fortunately, he could roughly guess the enemy's location.
He looked up at the hillside and saw a few vague figures on the top of the mountain within sight.
Bai Yuan stood beside him and pointed to the same location: "It should be there.
"Yeah!" Cheng Xu nodded.
Bai Yuan laughed heartily: "It's exactly the same as the route Bu Zhan Mu took last time. When they go down the mountain and reach the missile range, I will use the Xianjia missile to beat them to a pulp."
Cheng Xu couldn't help but think of the last time he fought here, and a smile appeared on his lips, but it was unfortunately blocked by the mask.
He stared at the hillside carefully for a long time. There was no place where he could see his great-grandmother on the hillside, behind the trees or behind the rocks. No! Absolutely not!
Grandma didn't come this time, hahaha, this battle will be won.
"Huh? Someone came down the mountain." Bai Yuan said, "Look, there are only three thieves coming down the mountain."
Cheng Xu took a closer look and found that there were really only three thieves coming down the mountain. The leader was still wearing a long gown. He was stumbling while walking. It seemed that he was not used to walking on the mountain road. He relied on the support of the two people next to him to barely make it through the mountain road. Slide up and down.
Bai Yuan and Cheng Xu couldn't help but look at each other and wondered: "What is going on?"
Of course, there was no way to directly call for a fight in this situation. The Xianjia missiles, trebuchets, and giant ballistas were all quiet without firing a single bullet. Everyone just watched the three thieves walking slowly. While walking, the leading man in a long gown almost fell down, and the two people beside him quickly helped him.
The man regained his balance and continued walking, finally reaching the foot of Baijia Fort. Cheng Xu and Bai Yuan were dumbfounded: "Is this guy playing tricks?"
The man in the long gown stood in front of the fort gate, raised his head, and said loudly: "I am so talented, but I dare to ask, which lord's home in Chengcheng County is this?"
Bai Yuan stretched out her head: "My surname is Bai, and my last name is Yuan."
The man in the long gown cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Bai from Baijiabao. Please light a lamp. It's polite here."
Everyone was stunned and lit their lamps. Isn't this the bandit leader?
Zhao Sheng gave out his bandit number. He was a little embarrassed and did not dare to give his real name in public. He said awkwardly: "I'm very sorry to disturb Mr. Bai. It's just that there are three thousand brothers behind me who have walked a long, long way to get here. Here, everyone has nothing to eat and is almost dying of hunger. From a distance, I saw this Baijiapu, which looked like the home of a very powerful master. I came boldly to ask for some food and save me. Those three thousand brothers, please give me your noble hand and help us."
Cheng Xu laughed and said, "He is threatening us. First he says there are three thousand brothers behind him, and then he asks for food. If we don't give it to him, then all three thousand brothers will come and kill him."
Bai Yuan thought about it carefully, isn't that what it meant?
only….....
The man named Dian Dengzi spoke in a very sincere tone. He was not the kind of vicious guy who threatened others.
"Jiaoxi He, do you mean to ignore him?"
"Of course you have to deal with it! You have to deal with it ruthlessly." Cheng Xu touched the knife on his waist: "He came here with only two subordinates, and he is so courageous. If I go out now, I can easily kill him. Take it.
As long as the bandit leader is captured, the remaining thieves will not be a concern. Let's see if he dares to threaten us for food.
"That's inappropriate." Bai Yuan shook his head and said, "I suspect that this person is not the bandit leader at all, but that the bandit leader captured a scholar to use as a microphone. If we attack this scholar, the thieves will just find an excuse to attack our Baijia Fort.
Cheng Xu: "Huh? That makes sense! But... who does the thief want to beat? Do you need an excuse?"
The logic is stuck at this position and there is no way around it.
At this moment, the lamplighter outside the fort spoke again: "Mr. Bai, please don't misunderstand what I said. I don't mean any threat at all. I come to you for help sincerely. My three thousand brothers are all good people. I didn't want to rob the people. I came here all the way from Qingjian County. I had already finished the dry food I brought with me. I also ate bark and grass roots for a long time. I really couldn't hold on anymore.
Hunger will turn people into ghosts. One day, driven by hunger, they will slash at other civilians with knives. On that day, I will not be able to save them... Please also ask Mr. Bai to lend a helping hand, After rescuing them, everyone has not made a big mistake and can still be saved.
His words were extremely sincere and his eyes were full of tears.
Cheng Xu couldn't help but frowned.
After Bai Yuan heard this, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Open the fort gate and give him ten stones of food.
Cheng Xu: "Eh? Mr. Bai, he must be lying to us. Do you believe this?"
"I don't think this person looks like a villain." Bai Yuan said: "I would rather believe that he exists than that he doesn't exist. If the Heavenly Lord were here, he would first treat him with kindness. If the other party is really a villain, he would then use weapons. Towards it.
Cheng Xu sighed twice. He had seen a lot of bad guys. Before the three-year drought, he had dealt with all kinds of people who were following the evil ways. He could only say a few words to the gangsters. Can't believe it.
But since Bai Yuan chose to believe the other party, Cheng Xu did not stop him with any words, because Bai Yuan's words "if Tianzun were here" reminded him of Tianzun's always benevolent style.
Isn’t it just a little grain?
Tianzun always saves people first and then talks about right and wrong.
There is nothing wrong with following Tianzun’s ideas!
The gate of Baijiapu was opened, and ten stones of grain were picked out and placed in front of Dengzi.
Dian Dengzi was inexplicably shocked. He never expected that the other party would provide food so readily. He only brought two people down the mountain, and he couldn't even carry the ten stones of food back.
He quickly turned around and waved to the hillside: "Come ten people, don't come too many, don't come down too many, just ten! Come and carry these grains back to the mountain."
Ten young and middle-aged men who still had strength came down from the hillside. They picked up ten stones of grain and went up the mountain.
Ten stones of food is not much for three thousand people.
Even if I save on food, I won't be able to eat more than a few meals.
But in this disaster year, it is already a considerable fortune.
Dian Dengzi gave a long bow to Baijiabao: "Master Bai will be rewarded with good things."
