Cangshan, Qinglong Village
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, bandits are hosting a lively banquet to welcome the God of Wealth.
There was heavy snow in the sky, but it did not hinder their interest.
After Qiu Hai accepted the toasts from all the heads and brothers, he poured another glass of wine and toasted Xue Xu, "Thanks to your resourcefulness, sir, our Qinglong Village has been able to grow and develop in the past few years. In the new year, I wish you all the best." Qinglong Village is getting better and better."
Xue Xu, who looked like a little old man, smiled and drank.
At this time, the people below reported good news, "The boss, the informant in Qingxi Village sent back the news that a fat sheep came to their village. It was a motorcade, and there were more than a dozen carriages when they entered the village. It is said that It’s full of supplies.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the boy who reported the news, looking very interested.
"Who are the people in this convoy?"
"Mainly wealthy businessmen and the escorts they hire."
The bandits below heard their eyes light up, and the four heads below the village leader were also eager to try. Rich merchants, they like the rich merchant caravan the most!
"In addition, there are one escort and four officers, who are responsible for escorting the prisoners to Pingzhou."
Xue Xu felt something was wrong. Why were there guards and prisoners here? This season is not the time to escort prisoners.
"Do you know how many prisoners there are and what their identities are?" he asked, feeling that there must be something special about the identities of these prisoners.
"The time was too short and I couldn't find out. I only know that the people in shackles were three young adults."
Xue Xu felt that this configuration was wrong. One escort and four guards, just to escort three young and middle-aged men?
The other party did not tell them that these three young men were in good spirits and were completely different from the former prisoners, who were dark, thin and haggard.
In addition, it can be seen that the beards and hair on the faces of these three prisoners are not well taken care of, but if you pay close attention, you can see that they are relatively clean. However, their informant was just a villager and did not pay attention to such details.
Xue Xu and Qiu Hai suggested, "Master, our village is quite wealthy at the moment and we have no shortage of food and drink. Otherwise, let them go, right?"
Before Qiu Hai could speak, several of the heads below couldn't help but speak.
The second master first said, "Mr. Xue's words are wrong. Our Qinglong Village currently has no worries about food and drink, but fat sheep are hard to come by, and March and April, when the lean season is coming, are coming. Why don't we make more preparations?"
Xue Xu said, "I think this group of people is a little special. It's best to be careful."
The third master then said, "What are you afraid of? As the saying goes, wealth can be gained through danger. We are bandits. We are doing bloody work. How can we be afraid of this or that?"
The Fourth Master said carelessly, "Yes, they are just a few guards and servants. Why are you afraid of him?"
“Mr.
"And the prisoners who are exiled at this time are indeed quite special. They are particularly weak. Think about it, generally those who are capable will definitely choose to be exiled after the weather warms up. Going to the exile at this time is definitely no choice. Or he is very jealous of the people above him and wants him to die on the way. Do we still need to be afraid of such a person?"
Qiu Hai, the leader of the village, "Shut up! Don't speak rudely to Mr. Xue!" After saying this, he said to Xue Xu, "Mr. .”
Xue Xu smiled and said, "I understand everything about the boss."
"As for this vote..." Qiu Hai pondered,
At this time, some brothers below started to make noises at the signal of the leaders above.
"Master, let's do it. This is the first vote this year! The first vote after the new year. If you do it successfully, it will herald that our Qinglong Village will be prosperous this year."
"Yes, a man is not rich without windfall, and a horse is not fat without night grass! Fuck him!"
"That's right, why not kill a fat sheep when it passes by?"
"We are the most powerful bandits in the Cangshan area. Let alone fat sheep, even a fly has to leave a leg if it wants to fly over our Cangshan Mountain!"
"Our Qinglong Village only robs wealth, not lives. When they encounter a bandit like us, it's because our ancestors burned incense, hahaha..."
Xue Xu chose to remain silent, Zhuzi, Kuang, you are really crazy! Be careful not to kill the fat sheep, but someone will gnaw its teeth!
He thought to himself that he could not stay in Qinglong Village any longer. The arrogant soldiers would be defeated. Even if he was lucky enough to succeed this time, he was originally doing a job with his head in his hands. He was so frivolous that even ten lives would not be enough to save him.
Faced with so many brothers' requests to fight, Qiu Hai was a little bit stuck, because Xue Xu's words also made him have doubts in his heart. But if he refuses at this time, it will be too demoralizing, and if he agrees with Xue Xu, it will damage his prestige as the leader, and it will be difficult to lead this team.
He raised his hand to suppress the restlessness of the brothers, "Don't worry, it's snowing heavily outside now, let's continue drinking and eating meat!"
In the past, there were two main reasons why prisoners and prisoners were not moved. One was the identity of the other party's government, and the second reason was naturally that there would be no profit if they were robbed. Now that there is a need to move, it doesn't matter. They don't want each other's life anyway, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
His words were accurate, and the atmosphere suddenly became more heated.
"Yes, yes, drink and eat meat! Just let them relax their vigilance. As soon as the snow stops or becomes lighter, we will attack immediately! Kill him by surprise."
"Hahaha……"
Late at night, Yan Liang was wrapped in a thick winter coat and a white linen cloth outside, walking in the snowy wilderness. When he was finally taken by Qin Sheng to avoid the patrols of Qinglong Village and brought him to the courtyard where they lived in Qingxi Village, he suddenly gained confidence in their plan to encircle Qinglong Village.
The first time Yan Liang met Lu Mingzhi, he praised him again and again.
What can Lu Mingzhi do? He could only show an awkward yet polite smile.
Yan Liang brought them all the information about Qinglong Village collected by the government. Yan Liang told them that Qinglong Village was quite cunning. They had tried to use tricks on them to lure them out, but they all failed.
The leader of the village, Qiu Hai, is very cautious and cunning. If anything goes wrong, he will hide in the village and send other leaders out to perform tasks, just like the bastards who have been there for thousands of years. Therefore, every time they suppressed the bandits, they could not complete their efforts. Then as time passed, the other party became stronger again.
The subsequent battle plan for the encirclement and suppression of Qinglong Village was discussed by the three brothers of the Qin family, Xu Zheng, Yang Wei and others together with Yan Liang. Lu Songli did not participate.
What Qinglong Village relies on is internal support and geographical advantages. She has already hired help for them. Qin Heng and Qin Zhao are both experienced generals. She believed that it would be no problem to leave the rest to them. In addition, Qin's mother is sick and needs her care.
What they need to pay attention to most is an old guy named Xue Xu who appeared next to Qiu Hai three years ago.
Qiu Hai, the leader of Qinglong Village, is actually an extremely bold person who dares to gamble. What he said most often before was that wealth can be found in danger.
The change in Qinglong Village’s style of conduct also started three years ago. But Lu Songli felt that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Qiu Hai is essentially a gambler, and with his repeated successes in the past three years, his repressive nature will only become more severe. Lu Songli was sure that he would take action this time.
