Gou San touched his smoking hair, his face turned livid with fear, and he did not dare to take another step forward.
Song Che pointed his gun at the men and said coldly: "Whoever dares to take a step forward will suffer a bloody disaster today."
The servant who was poured into the bucket accidentally took a step forward——
"Snapped!"
There was a gunshot, hitting the calf.
The servant fell to the ground, clutching his bloody leg and rolling in pain.
Gou San swallowed his saliva, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead...
"There is a saying that goes well. There are people outside people, and there are mountains outside mountains. Dragons must be coiled, and tigers must lie down. Otherwise, one day you meet someone you can't afford to offend, and you may lose your life."
Song Che slowly put down the musket, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He spoke very slowly, but his aura was so strong that no one could tolerate it.
"Today...you are lucky!" Gou San gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you dare to leave your name?"
Song Che said casually: "I won't change my name when I work, and I won't change my surname when I sit down. Chen Rencai."
Gou San nodded and said "Okay" and left the restaurant with a group of men.
"It turns out that the boss can be so powerful." Nangong Yue said with a smile.
Song Che glanced at Gou San and others who were gradually retreating downstairs, and said softly: "Smart people don't stand under dangerous walls. This place in Qingzhou is not suitable for staying for a long time."
"Then they..." Nangong Yue looked at the two children.
"Are you raising him?" Song Che asked, raising his eyebrows.
"I..." Nangong Yue looked at the two children's big watery eyes and gritted her teeth and said, "I will take care of them!"
Song Che smiled lightly, "Let's go." He put down a few taels of broken silver, paid the bill, and left the restaurant.
Return to Qingxiao Pavilion.
Waiting until Youshi, Song Che prepared a carriage and carried the two children out of the city towards the south gate.
Nangong Yue and the six Anbu female family members from Qingxiao Pavilion simply changed their appearance, put on their night clothes, and waited for the arrival of midnight.
"Anyone wants to leave the city? The city gate will be closed soon!"
The doorman shouted loudly.
There is a military station next to the city gate, with thirty soldiers permanently stationed there. There are guards on duty on the city wall. Once something happens, the alarm bell will sound and the military camp will attack.
With more than a thousand veteran soldiers facing a crowd of 100,000 people, do they have any chance of winning?
I remember that a "stick gang" arose outside Suzhou City. A group of refugees armed with wooden sticks beat the Suzhou city defense troops until they lost their armor.
Song Che didn't think the combat effectiveness of Qingzhou's soldiers was any higher than that of Suzhou's soldiers.
At the last moment when the city gate closed, Song Che drove out of Qingzhou City.
Even though it was already dark, the queue of refugees still queued up for two miles to ask for rice porridge.
There is a birch forest on the outskirts of the city, and there is a Qili Pavilion in the forest. Ziyun and Lu Jingxiang set up a porridge shed in the pavilion, set up three large pots, and kept cooking rice porridge.
Song Che parked the carriage outside the pavilion in an inconspicuous forest, waved to Zi Yun, and got into the carriage.
Ziyun faintly exited the porridge shed, deliberately detoured to the carriage, and stepped into the carriage through the back door.
In order to hide her identity, she disguised herself as a man, with a piece of dog skin plaster on her forehead and two small mustaches on her mouth, which was really... awkward.
Song Che suppressed his laughter and asked, "How is the progress? Is it going well?"
Ziyun looked tired and sighed softly: "From the first pot of porridge in the morning, it has not stopped until now. More than ten bundles of firewood have been burned. The number of refugees is much more than imagined."
She paused and looked at Song Che seriously:
"As a result, much more money was spent. The purchase of grain, rice, cooking stoves, firewood, and wages for day laborers totaled more than 1,300 taels!"
Song Che smiled and said: "Female Bodhisattva, her merits are immeasurable."
Zi Yun muttered: "Female Bodhisattva also wants to receive money for sesame oil..."
"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly in the future."
Song Che said, taking out a map from his arms and handing it to Zi Yun, "This is the optimal route map from the south gate to the Huang, Xu, and Kong families. Take it to the place where you are familiar with the red banner. This is the breakthrough point for these three houses, remember, return as soon as the door is broken, don't delay."
Ziyun nodded, took the map, and quietly left the carriage.
The porridge-giving continued until Xu Shi, when all the food was cooked.
After tasting the sweetness, no one is willing to leave. They are squatting in the woods in patches, waiting for the pot to be cooked tomorrow.
Ziyun and Lu Jingxiang have naturally become idols in the minds of the refugees, and their every word and deed can be believed:
"Dear fellow villagers, the imperial court has allocated relief grains, which are now being stored in Qingzhou City. Several wealthy households are keeping them for you. Please prepare your linen bags quickly. I will take you to pick them up at midnight, okay?"
"good!"
Refugees who have enough to eat and drink will have much more confidence.
Even if you tell them that you are going to rob it, why can't you rob it?
night,
Gradually it deepens,
At three o'clock in the morning, Lu Jingxiang and Ziyun followed the plan, woke up the sleeping refugees, and headed towards the city in the dark.
Song Che climbed up the birch tree and observed with a telescope——
Under the bright moonlight, tens of thousands of refugees are approaching the city gate silently. They are hungry, they have been oppressed for a long time, and they have awakened without hesitation... Tonight, like fighters, they will fight for the city. Live by yourself!
Even if there is no tonight, one day, when the oppression reaches the extreme, they will still break out in turmoil like the "stick gang", and the government will force the people to rebel, which is inevitable in troubled times.
Midnight is approaching.
"Boom!"
A loud noise broke the silence!
A flash of fire shot straight into the sky!
"Dong dong dong..." The alarm bell sounded on the city wall.
The black crowd of refugees broke through the city gate like a flood and poured into Qingzhou City crazily.
The Yellow River bursts its banks and Qingzhou breaks through. Who says this is not a cycle of retribution?
Song Che put away the telescope, shuttled down the birch tree, turned back to the carriage, and waited quietly.
Less than half an hour later.
Zi Yun, Lu Jingxiang and the three female relatives of Qingxiao Pavilion hurried into the birch forest, and heard shouts from afar:
"The boss is bad, bad!"
Song Che hurriedly got out of the carriage, "If you have anything to say, just tell me!"
Lu Jingxiang said: "After introducing the refugees to the Huang and Xu families, we retreated outside the city as planned, but unexpectedly, the Qingzhou defenders blocked the city gate as soon as we left the door... The Kong family is in the east of the city, so they are not as good as us. The south of the city is so close that Sister Nangong and the others may not be able to get out!"
Song Che frowned. Once Qingzhou City was blocked, an internal search would be carried out, and Nangong Yue would be at risk of being arrested.
What should we do?
"Uncle Song..."
The corner of his clothes was suddenly tugged. Song Che turned around and looked down to find that the little girl Sun Ting was standing behind him at some point.
"There is a dog hole, but I don't know if Auntie is willing to drill it..."
Song Che's eyes lit up. As long as he could escape from danger, what about the dog hole?
He quickly asked: "Is that dog cave still secret? Can an adult pass through it?"
The little girl said: "The dog cave is in the east city. There are weeds growing around the cave. After passing through the cave, there is an abandoned tiled house. Only beggars will go there. Auntie is slim and should be able to get through."
"Where did this little sister get her savior from?" Lu Jingxiang was surprised.
"Maybe this means good people are rewarded." Song Che pointed to the carriage with a smile: "Let's drive."
“How troublesome is it to drive?”
Lu Jingxiang drew his sword and cut off the reins, picked up the little girl and jumped on the horse, riding alone to Qingzhou City!
