In addition to the Zheng Xiong family involved, a group of strong men appeared out of nowhere, and there was also a third party discussing something at this moment.
"There is something wrong with the situation. The Han family village that suddenly appeared is in the mountains, but the Han family where Zheng's mother lives is in the south, close to the boundary of Shu County."
"We have searched for the boundaries of Shu County. Now things and people have changed. The fields and other things have been re-divided. There used to be about a hundred people in the clan, but now there are only a dozen or so people still spreading their branches here. There is no Zheng among them. His mother’s biological brother, many years have passed, and there is no news about his brothers.”
"The two are far apart in the west and south, but they are both in the territory of Lu'an Prefecture. If they are over there, although the journey is far, there will be no news at all."
"According to county records, people from the Han family in the mountains have been living there since the Yuan Dynasty."
"There is not much connection between the two."
"Except for the sudden appearance of a person with the same name and the same surname, it must be someone who deliberately did it to lure the doctor there."
"In my opinion, the condemned person should go and check first to prevent any changes."
"The remaining people should keep an eye on Yihou's family until the situation is found out."
"No, your majesty has ordered that during the doctor's trip, Xiaoxiao will be around, and our mission is to catch them all."
"The situation is unclear now. If you go there rashly, if you are exposed, it will be difficult to make a difference in the future."
"At this time, we should mobilize the soldiers of Liu'an Guard nearby, enter the mountain in batches, surround them first, take advantage of them when they are not prepared, and catch them all in one fell swoop."
Two different opinions, but the latter is more solid.
After hearing this, the leader immediately agreed.
"There is no room for mistakes in medicine, but any dangers should be avoided as much as possible, since there is something fishy about it."
"To ensure nothing goes wrong, we should first take your Majesty's order and dispatch troops from the Liu'an Guard."
"Qiu Siwu, since it was you who proposed it, then you will go to the guard station to mobilize troops, enter the mountains in batches, and surround Hanjiazhuang. If you find anything wrong, you can destroy it immediately."
"The rest of the people stay here and follow me to protect the safety of the doctor in case the tiger leaves the mountain."
"promise."
With the plan and Lao Zhu's warrant, it was implemented smoothly.
After the guards verified that everything was correct, they immediately sent a thousand men to accompany Qiu Siwu into the mountain.
A thousand people made a lot of noise, but after they were divided into more than a dozen teams, they became less conspicuous.
With a clear destination and the act of breaking it into parts, it didn't attract much attention.
However, the mountainous terrain still caused such an army to suffer a lot.
I dare not take the well-explored path and can only climb over the mountains and ridges.
And Wangshan’s pursuit of a dead horse is not an empty talk.
It wasn't until dark that we had marched a short distance, and we were still more than half the distance from our target.
There is no choice but to move forward in the dark.
Fortunately, the current guard station still has combat effectiveness and can endure hardships.
Although it is difficult to move forward in the dark, the guard here does not know anything about the Dabie Mountains, so they can barely move forward in the dark.
However, in the early morning, I finally couldn't hold on anymore. After marching all night and without rest, I was already exhausted and exhausted. I had to rely solely on willpower to continue walking. At this time, I had reached my limit and I could hardly hold on anymore.
With more and more people falling behind, Qiu Siwu could only order repairs to be carried out first.
Then we determined the location, but we didn't expect that we were only halfway through the journey, so we had to send someone back to deliver the news first.
At the same time, in order to buy more time, the people guarding Zheng Xiong must hold Zheng Xiong and his party back.
To buy time, the people guarding Zheng Xiong had their own ideas.
There were many of his own people in the honor guard sent by Mingli Lao Zhu, who used their hands and feet to destroy the carriages and horses.
Zheng Xiong was preparing to set off in the morning, but he had no choice but to wait until the afternoon with Lao Zheng and Han Yue'er before starting.
They definitely wouldn't be able to get there today, and they would probably have to camp on the spot halfway, but Zheng Xiong had no choice but to continue to persuade him.
On the other side, after Qiu Siwu had repaired for an hour, the sun had already risen.
In order to rush for time, Qiu Siwu called the tired people up one by one and continued marching, regardless of whether they wanted to or not.
Finally, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the reserved location.
In a mountain col, a small river flows down. Along the way, houses stand around.
Too far away to see clearly.
Qiu Siwu carefully took out a package from his arms and took out something, which was a telescope.
Squinting, looking through the telescope.
The scenery in the distance suddenly came closer.
The actual view of the house comes into view.
The door was open, and from time to time there were figures passing by.
But the people coming in and out were all strong men with weapons in their hands.
Looking along the river, the situation is much the same.
The few houses gathered in the middle were even more tightly guarded, with many people gathered, and all of them were carrying weapons.
Surrounding this gathering place, there are also vigilant guards in the mountains and forests. Although the location is somewhat hidden, they are still invisible in front of the telescope, and many people have been discovered.
Thanks to the help of the telescope, Qiu Siwu suddenly felt confident. Just the clueless look on the other side's face was great good news.
The existence of these people is obviously abnormal, and they are definitely a group of people with evil intentions.
At that moment, Qiu Siwu no longer hesitated and quietly deployed his manpower.
In the evening, the offensive was launched.
At this time, because Qiu Siwu was facing the enemy and making a lot of noise, he was quickly discovered.
Alerts sounded.
Someone immediately came to report outside the house.
"Chief, there are a large number of people coming down from the mountain opposite. At a glance, there are almost hundreds of people."
Before he could react, someone walked out of the door and told him the latest news.
"Chief, what's wrong, there are people coming down the mountain quickly behind us."
“There were human hands approaching from the front, back, left and right.”
The leader of the group woke up immediately, came out of the house and looked in the opposite direction.
At a glance, there were hundreds of people.
Behind him and upstream and downstream of the water, the sounds of killing could be faintly heard, coming from far and near, and it was obvious that they were beginning to take action.
The leader's face turned red and white, changing rapidly.
The exposed veins on his hands are enough to show his mood at the moment.
The situation was so urgent that the leader had no time to think. Hundreds of his people would definitely not be able to defeat each other if they fought head-on. He immediately gave the order.
"Everyone, follow me and rush towards the mountain behind you."
"Before they can successfully encircle us, as long as we cut them apart and get out of the encirclement, we will never be able to catch us."
"Come on!"
The leader took the lead and rushed to the front. It didn't take long before he fought with the guardsmen who rushed down from the mountain.
