Chapter 162 Chapter 162: Rebellion in Xiaocheng (2) [Please vote]
The question raised by Zhai Huan is exactly what Captain Yang wants to know.
At this time, Zhai Le thought of something and carefully asked Duwei Yang for confirmation: "Does Duwei Yang know... about the rebellion in Lingzhou?"
Duwei Yang was stunned for a moment.
It’s not that he has a problem with his understanding, but that Zhai Le can understand every word of what he said, but why can’t he digest it all together?
What is "Lingzhou Rebellion"?
He couldn't believe it.
I stood up in place, my eyes as wide as bells.
He was pacing back and forth like an irritable and trapped beast, his breath dangerous and uneasy, and there were two holes in the ground beneath his feet. Finally, he asked in a hoarse voice: "What did you say...Lingzhou?"
What happened in Lingzhou?
When did the incident happen in Lingzhou?
Brother Zhai Le reacted even more shocked than he did.
You really don’t know?
This, this...even they don't know what to say. Zhai Le had no choice but to give a rough explanation of the situation, but he lied about the source of the information. He only said that he passed by a tea shop not long ago and heard a discussion among merchants, and did not name Shen Tang.
Although he didn’t know why Brother Shen wanted to intercept the tax money, he believed that Brother Shen was a sincere and honest gentleman. Even if he did evil things, he would do it for a reason - not to mention, it might not be considered an evil thing. He could clearly see what was going on in Sibao County.
To be able to squeeze out so much tax money from a group of skinny people, and also give away a large number of rare treasures in addition to the tax money to please the king Zheng Qiao, the governor of Sibao County is also a ruthless person!
From this point of view, Zhai Le prefers Shen Tang.
Therefore, he remained tight-lipped.
He never revealed his guess to Captain Yang.
Duwei Yang: "I don't know, I have never received this news..."
His liver was shaking with anger, the whites of his eyes were covered with blood-red spider threads, and his eyes were as fierce as if he wanted to eat ten people in one meal.
The wings of his nose were flaring, he was breathing heavily, and his fists were pinched so hard that his knuckles creaked. He suddenly thought of something, and his anger surged like gunpowder, and he cursed: "That's not right - there is chaos in Lingzhou, and the county guard is here Why do you have to pay tax at this time?"
Zhai Le said softly. Interjecting: "Maybe the county guard doesn't know?"
Captain Yang couldn't suppress his anger at all, and his voice suddenly rose: "How could he not know? If he doesn't even know this, does his life depend on luck? ?”
Zhai Le: “…”
This... I can't say for sure.
But if Sibao County fell, what good would it do to him as the county governor?
Zhai Huan said: "Don't be angry, Captain Yang. We still don't know which force is besieging Xiaocheng. It may not be the rebel forces in Lingzhou. On the other hand, if it is really them, it will be a good thing."
< br >Lieutenant Yang reluctantly swallowed his anger and asked with red eyes: "Why did Mr. Zhai say that? If those mobs caused chaos..."
Zhai Huan said: "It is difficult for a mob to become a great weapon."
>
Captain Yang choked.
As a brave warrior, he agrees with Zhai Huan's point of view. A group of makeshift old and weak soldiers, even if they are large in number, are only scary on the surface. The ratio of their brave warriors is too low, who makes it difficult for ordinary people to have enough food and clothing?
They will rebel because they don't have enough to eat. Like a snowball, people in the same situation will respond wherever they go. But - can a group of people who don't have enough to eat get enough to eat together?
How much fighting power can you gain if you fight on an empty stomach?
How big of a threat can it pose?
Even if the garrison in Xiaocheng chooses to be a coward, unable to retreat, delaying the defense of the city, and fighting for food and grass, they can drag the enemy to death. What is really scary is that if the enemy troops attacking the city are well-trained "regular troops" with ample food and grass, then it will be dangerous.
Captain Yang scratched his bun irritably.
He really couldn't think of other possibilities...
Seeing that there was no breakthrough on Captain Yang's side, Zhai Huan could only shake his head secretly and was helpless - now he could only take one step at a time.
Privately, he found that his cousin looked sick.
Naturally, he asked a lot of questions.
Zhai Le Qiqi Ai Ai: "Brother, I, I——"
Zhai Huan: "Don't lie, you have never been good at this."
Zhai Le immediately revealed Angrily: "...Oh, that's it...I actually have suspicions about that group of gangsters last night..."
Zhai Huan was not surprised and just asked: "Qi Yuanliang?"
Zhai Le was shocked: "Brother also knows?" Zhai Huan almost laughed angrily: "What's so difficult about this?"
I really thought that Wen Xin, a scholar who could suppress him, was so good. Did you meet? Ah Le thinks that everyone is as innocent as him and believes that there are coincidences in the world? From the time Qi Shan appeared until the tax money was robbed, even if Qi Shan didn't do anything, Zhai Huan would immediately suspect him.
No matter why, it is not a coincidence just because it is too coincidental!
Coupled with Zhai Le's expression of being unable to hide something...
He asked: "How did you know?"
Zhai Le said: "Oh, because of Brother Shen's sword."
There is almost no possibility of admitting the mistake.
The corner of Zhai Huan's mouth twitched, and he reluctantly matched the "Brother Shen" Zhai Le often mentioned with the scarred-faced burly man last night.
“But he is not a literary scholar?”
Zhai Le said: "Yes, he is a scribe."
Zhai Huan: "...you call that a scribe?"
He was speechless, and it took a long time to take a look at the wretched figure in the distance. Captain Yang seemed to have a breath stuck in his chest, making him uncomfortable.
Zhai Le rubbed his chin, hesitating slightly: "Elite, with literary monograms... He is indeed a literary scholar, that's right."
Zhai Huan: "..."< br>
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other.
Shen Tang, who was being talked about by the two, felt the tip of his nose was a little itchy and sneezed hard uncontrollably.
Open your eyes and sit up halfway.
When I woke up it was already dark.
The air is filled with an earthy smell mixed with the smell of blood.
She rubbed her forehead and thought carefully.
Haha, there is no suspense, I can’t think of anything.
Once you are familiar with life, you will be familiar with it twice, and you will be familiar with it three times and four times.
She knew that she was drinking fragments, so she didn’t make a fuss if the environment changed. After a while, Chu Yao and the others came back, each with empty hands, which made her mistakenly think that the tax bank robbery had failed.
“Goro is awake?”
"How was the action last night?"
Chu Yao: "Everything went well."
"Where is the tax money?"
Chu Yao handed her a parchment drawing and said: "Of course I buried it and took it out after the storm has passed. Does your head still hurt? I don't know. Where did that guy Qi Yuanliang get the strong drink? You fought with others last night as if you were desperate... There will be no next time!"
Although Wu Lang's bravery and stamina after he was drunk were unparalleled, but he still couldn't. I have lost some of the "reason" that ordinary people have, and I don't take my body seriously at all. Fortunately, those were minor injuries, the blood volume looked large, and most of them belonged to the enemy.
Qishan appeared like a ghost, appearing out of nowhere and said: "Chu Wuhui, although there are formations in battle, courage is the basis. Mr. Shen Xiaolang is brave against the enemy and is not afraid of life and death. What's wrong?"
Chu Yao asked in return: "Is Wulang a warrior?"
When Shen Tang heard this, his head, which had not hurt before, suddenly started to buzz. She hurriedly waved her hands and jumped up: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Now that everything has been resolved, let's go back quickly. We still have to pick up Lin Feng to go home. If you are late for a few days, you will get angry with me..."
She shamelessly used Lin Feng as a shield.
Chu Yao snorted and did not argue with Qi Shan.
The four of them took a short rest and prepared to return.
Her good mood ended abruptly at an official teahouse.
