When the surroundings calmed down, Chen Ju could smell the fragrance of Jiang Yun'er again. He felt his heartbeat speeding up and felt a little out of breath. When he touched it with his hand, he found a soft body next to him.
Jiang Yun'er, who was paying attention outside, suddenly felt that Chen Ju was closer to her, and his heavy breathing was almost right next to her ears. A hand slid from her abdomen to her waist. She was startled, and reached out to pinch the man. Down the back of the hand.
The hand disappeared, but was soon on her right leg again. "What are you doing?" Jiang Yun'er protested in a low voice in horror: "I am your sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law, I, I haven't touched a woman before. You, I just can't bear it anymore!" Chen Ju said without stopping, and pressed half of his body up.
When Jiang Yun'er just said the word "sister-in-law", he hesitated, but then he thought that Chen Tong had not entered the bridal chamber yet. Ignore her, let’s cook the rice first!
Jiang Yun'er was shy and anxious, but she didn't dare to shout. Although this Chen sentence is not as good as Chen Tong's physique, it is enough to deal with a weak woman. Soon he restrained Yun'er's hands.
Jiang Yun'er suddenly felt a coldness in her chest and her whole body started to tremble. She struggled to free her hand and pulled out the hairpin, but she felt that she was too weak to prick it out.
Chen Ju was immersed in the experience of the warm and fragrant nephrite jade. Suddenly something pricked his waist, and he blurted out: "Ouch!" When he touched his hand back, he found something sticky. He couldn't help but be horrified. Only then did I feel the pain.
"Who is it?" A man flashed through the door.
Before Chen Yu could answer, he heard a "click" sound, and then a crossbow arrow shot out of his chest. He looked down, then fell backwards and rolled to the ground.
"Master, are you okay?"
"I'm fine! There's a thief hiding in this room. Hey, isn't this a cliché?" the man said, kicking the body with his toes.
The voice was so familiar that Jiang Yun'er felt like the world was spinning and she tried hard to turn over.
"Who's up there? Throw out the weapons!" The man jumped away and shouted after hearing the movement.
"Bai, Master Bai, save me, save me..." Half a snow lotus-like arm hung down feebly.
Bai Lang glanced at the gold silk bracelet inlaid with emeralds on Hao's wrist. Didn't he choose it with his own hands and put it in the treasure box given to her?
"Sister, don't be afraid, brother is here, don't be afraid!" Bai Lang said, jumping up on the table, looking at the ceiling of the bed frame, and shouting at the top of his voice: "Brother Lu, take my cloak." Come!"
He took the cloak handed over by Brother Lu, first covered Jiang Yun'er, then carefully got off the table with his arms crossed, and hurriedly ran out.
"Master, what should I do with this man?" Brother Lu asked from behind, pointing to the corpse on the ground.
Bai Lang wiped the tears that had blinded his eyes on his shoulder, looked down at Jiang Yun'er who was in a coma with distress, and cursed:
"Damn it, nothing good can come out of this village! Cut off his head and hang it on the dock, and throw his body into the mountain behind to feed the dogs!
Tell the brothers that they have been found, grab whatever you can and leave quickly! The officers and soldiers will be here soon! Go quickly, go quickly! "
He came back to Shinao Village claiming to be attending a wedding banquet and asking for a drink. In fact, a hundred capable warriors were ambushed in the cabin, and another 300 people had sneaked in in advance through various means to ambush around the village.
So by controlling the dock and opening the back mountain gate, the hundreds of defenders left in Shinao Village are no match at all, let alone the thousands of women and children.
When Bai Lang did this, first of all, he promised Finless Dolphin to move his power to Huxi. The Chen family was obedient to Liao Huazi. He, the Bai family's biggest rival in Huxi, must be eliminated!
Secondly, he needs a certificate of surrender for Zhao Chongbi. It's a pity that this was not done. Chen Tong escaped early and escaped with his life, which made Bailang really regretful.
Chen Yuanhai's wife and two concubines chose to commit suicide when they saw the chaos in the village. The remaining concubines and several children either died in the rebellion or were captured. The weight of this certificate seems much lighter.
Fortunately, he achieved his third goal and grabbed Jiang Yun'er. Finally, his trip was not in vain. Of course, a lot of armor, gold and silver were taken away, and some food and grass were also obtained.
Bailang still felt that it was not enough, so before leaving, he packed two boats with the officers' houses, and then he took advantage of it.
And go.
Half an hour after Bailang left, a team came down from the back mountain. There were not many armed men in the team, about 400 people, but they carried more than 40 carriages and 60 to 70 livestock.
Wang Dou rode majestically on a white horse, looking down at the messy camp and the blank-eyed and numb people.
"Oh, it seems that we traveled all night, but that guy Bailang got us ahead of us!" He smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.
This "Wang Gangzi" who used to work as a porter on the dock is now the captain of the fifth district team stationed in Maple Harbor, so he naturally has to speak with some style.
"Aren't you in such a hurry because you are afraid that we will pick peaches, so you want to strike first? This guy still has the mentality of a lake bandit."
Two steps behind him was An Qingma, the inspector of the Fenggang Inspection Division, the same An Laoer who deliberately refused to let Xie Baozi taste the meat buns.
Zhao Chongbi told Li Dan in the letter that Bailang was going to attack Shinao Village as a token of surrender, and asked the regiment training team to send some men to attack as a flanking attack.
Where can Li Dan find the manpower? After discussing with Zhao Jingzi, he wrote to Fenggang asking them to send troops. He also specifically told them not to do it forcefully. It would be better to pick peaches and get some trophies in the end to make everyone happy.
As a result, these two people understood that they were sent to pick up the leaks, so they called almost the entire Maple Harbor carriage and horses to follow them happily.
Of course, people are not without principles. They have learned the rules long ago after fighting for so long.
The carts, horses, and wives who came out all agreed in advance that they would get a share of the money, and then two portions of the spoils were left to the district team and the inspection department. All the carts, horses, and wives who came out would get another share, and the town office kept one share. share and hand over the rest.
What is left by the district team and the inspection department will be divided into half with everyone first, and the remaining half will be put into the public accounts for salaries, purchases, pensions, etc.
Who would have expected that when Gao Xingxing came, the village had already been destroyed by others. The two of them were angry at each other, so they spoke bitterly.
In fact, neither of them understood why Bailang hurriedly evacuated. One of them didn't want to have a direct relationship with you. After all, he would still hang out in the lake in the future. It was not good for people to spread the word that the Bailang family was involved in inspections and team training with the support of the government.
Furthermore, it is also to avoid misunderstandings and fights between the two parties. The thieves and the inspection department are in opposition. How can the habits of so many years be reversed all at once? It's a pity that this good intention was not realized by the two of them, and it was all wasted.
The two discussed it and decided to send people to guard the village first, then gather the remaining people on the school grounds, and boil water and eat something for them to stabilize their emotions.
The Inspection Department first surrounded Chen's house with the help of the first-post militiamen. Then some of them searched the village, and another part of them searched Chen's house. A few people also asked and screened everyone's identity on the school grounds.
There are still many corpses in Chen's house, and it can be seen that the resistance is mainly concentrated here. Some bodies were discovered in the well one after another, and some people were recruited from the school grounds to salvage and identify them.
Finally, the bodies were pulled to the mountain behind and buried in a place. Mrs. Chen, her concubines and their children were buried alone, while the others dug a big pit and buried them together, and then put up a wooden sign to remember them. Even the severed head of Chen Ju was buried.
At this time, the town governor of the branch found the two men and reported that there was an elderly lame old gangster who asked to be taken away from here. He said that as long as his family was safe and he could find a place for him to retire, he could give away the Chen family's treasure. secret.
The two of them looked at the two carriages of property they had collected, their faces as dark as the bottom of a pot (they were afraid of losing money on this business trip), and immediately became interested when they heard this.
It turned out that Chen Yuanhai had already thought about the day when enemies might attack, so he kept a large amount of property in a very hidden cellar.
It turned out that the old man's two sons were dead, and he was living a hard life with his second daughter-in-law, two grandsons, and three granddaughters.
He was so frightened by the attack on the stockade this time that he realized that there was no guarantee that the stockade would be destroyed, so he thought of leaving here.
After receiving assurances from the two leaders, he led everyone to a secluded small pond behind the village. .
This pond is only the size of a house and is clean. The water flowing out from the cracks in the stones is clear and bright, gurgling continuously into the pond. After it overflowed, it flowed down the mountain along a small ditch.
"It's a great place, it's suitable for building a temple." Wang Dou said jokingly, "It would be great if there wasn't this lake bandit den."
The old man pointed to the hillside with his stick: "Here, do you see the bulging place next to the bamboo forest? That is the entrance to the cellar. Every time the Chen family accumulates a batch, they send it down there. You can't go wrong!"
Wang Dou and An Qingma looked at each other and asked the patrolmen who were following them to start digging. Sure enough, there was only more than a foot of topsoil and fallen leaves on top, and a thick wooden cover appeared below. When it was lifted, a ladder going down was revealed.
As a branch inspection officer, An Qingma went down first and looked around but said nothing. Wang Dou also looked around and said nothing.
He pulled An Qingma aside and asked, "What are your ideas? With so many things, will the carriage we bring not be enough?"
"I see that there are still carriages and livestock left in the village. Anyway, we have to find ways to use them and take away as much as possible. Even if some belongings are left here, the things in the cellar must be taken away first!" An Qingama said firmly! .
They started immediately, first looking for various cotton and linen cloths, and at the same time mobilizing the women and children in the village to weave bamboo strips baskets and rattan baskets. Patrollers were sent to the Chen family's warehouse to retrieve a large amount of cloth that had not been stolen, and then the livestock and carriages were lined up.
The members of the Tea Mountain Society went down to the cellar, and without saying much, they passed the bundles out and piled them on the cart or in the baskets carried by the animals. The clerk next to them wrote and recorded the numbers on the outside of the bundles.
After the cellar was emptied, An Qingmata led a team to escort them. Wang Dou evacuated with the selected supplies and the people who were willing to follow.
Both teams went to Guanxi as planned and met up with the naval forces secretly parked here and the fleet in Maple Harbor. Then the people and goods returned to Maple Harbor by water. The transportation team, division and district team militia returned by land.
After another half day, Song Laoqiao, known as Song Gongming, stood in front of the original Chen family's house and cursed Bailang for being unreasonable. What he was left with was simply an empty village!
But he just complained. They sent troops to help you clear the obstacles, and then sent people to ask you to come back to take over. What else do you want? Song Laoqiao looked at the remaining three hundred people, old and young, and sighed, these are all mouths that want to eat!
Suddenly he had an idea, hey, there is no money and water in Shinao Village, but Shangtang is still there! The leader of the village in Shangtang, Chen Yuanshou, was from Chen Yuanhai's family. There was no way he would not send troops this time.
There are less than 500 young people in Shangtang Xiaozhai. If most of them follow the troops this time, there will not be many left.
Ren Er sent people to say that they had reached an agreement with the Jinxi Lake leaders headed by Da Baiyan to kill Chen Yuanhai in Santangzhai.
Well, Shi Naozhai has been taken back, why not take advantage of the situation and take back Shangtang too?
Song Laoqiao made a quick decision and took the people out immediately. He was afraid that someone would slip through the net and go to Shangtang to deliver the message. It would be difficult to attack them once they were prepared.
His strategy was to divide his troops into two groups, hide in two fishing boats along the way, and go down leisurely along the north shore.
Let them pretend to be ordinary fishermen and deceive the warning posted by Shangtang at the lakeside. When they are out of sight and enter a blind spot, they suddenly turn around and send the two boats to Ren'andu on the south bank to land.
The other route entered Shazhoukou in advance, and then went up Shuoyou River. After landing, it formed an east-west direction with the team that landed at Ren'an Ferry from west to east.
After all, Song Gongming is also a leader, how can he do it in just two moments? Besides, it’s all about being prepared and being unprepared. What should Chen Yuanhai and his son be afraid of when they’re not at home?
He didn't care about cleaning up the mess, and after making some arrangements, he took everyone on board and set off.
The remaining young and old in the village had gone from joy to sorrow that day. They were used to seeing groups of people coming and going, and no one planned to ask them where they were going.
All they care about is dinner today, where to borrow a pot, or where to find a quilt at night.
Shangtang is less than thirty miles away from Shinao Village. Song Laoqiao and others touched the edge of the village. The sentry came back and reported that the other party was unaware of it. It seems that the news of what happened during the day has not yet come over.
Song Laoqiao was overjoyed and immediately led his people to rush to the village gate. The guards simply dispersed in a rush. But when Song Laoqiao and others wanted to move forward, there were ambushes on both sides, and bricks and tiles rained down on the roof.
Song Laoqiao's scream is not good, he knows he has fallen into the trap
. It turned out that someone really escaped with his life and came to Shangtang to report the news, but Chen Yuanshou was seriously ill in bed. Excluding those who went to war, there were only a hundred men left under his command. Even if the teenagers were included, they could not make up 200.
He knew that there was no way to save Shi Naozhai, so he had to try to protect himself, so he decided on this strategy to catch Song Laoqiao off guard.
However, after all calculations, he didn't expect that they would save something.
Song Laoqiao originally agreed to raise a fire as a signal, because he wanted to set the village gate on fire. Who would have thought that the counterattack inside would raise hundreds of torches at once, which would save him from lighting the fires and send an attack signal to An Ren on his own.
As a result, Houzhaimen only held on for less than half a cup of tea before falling, and reinforcements rushed in. The defense was caught off guard and chaos ensued, and Song Laoqiao easily turned defeat into victory.
Chen Yuanshou died of vomiting blood after hearing the news in his hospital bed. His two sons died in the battle one after another, and he only lasted an hour in Shangtangzhai.
Song Laoqiao was very proud and immediately ordered an inventory of the captured and prisoners. While reporting the victory to Botang, he also transferred the supplies from Shangtang to Shinaozhai.
After a day of fighting, the Chen family's two stockades in Junshan Lake were all uprooted, and Chen Yuanhai knew nothing about it.
He had already received his son, and he only sighed but did not blame him for rushing to the bridal chamber before he entered the bridal chamber, because he would arrive at the Santangzhai river section tomorrow, and a big battle was imminent.
