Chapter 143 A Strange Team
In the early morning of the next day, Nie Zheng ordered everyone to pack up the camp, and after reorganizing the food, grass and supplies, he led the five thousand dragon and tiger army, and went straight to Linjiang County, sixty miles away, to kill.

On the way to Linjiang County, Nie Zheng's men had to detour to Maqiao Town due to obstacles.

Before entering the town, Nie Zheng issued a special order that no one should harass the local civilians, let alone step on and damage the local crops, otherwise, they will be severely punished.

Maqiao Town, one of the ten towns under the jurisdiction of Linjiang County, is less than thirty miles away from Yuanjiang.

Yesterday evening, something happened that surprised all the residents of Maqiao Town. Just after they had their dinner, they vaguely heard the sound of explosions coming from the north bank of the Yuan River, as if someone was setting off firecrackers on the river bank. generally.

However, the north bank is twenty miles away from Maqiao Town, what kind of firecrackers can cause such a big commotion, and spread more than ten or twenty miles away?

However, that's not the weirdest thing.

The strangest thing was that that night, the aboriginal lord with a big fat belly who had been domineering in Maqiao Town for many years suddenly fled Maqiao Town with his trusted family members overnight, and he fled in a very hasty manner. , very embarrassed, it seems that if you escape half a step too late, you will be killed.

The hasty escape of the aboriginal lords in charge of Maqiao Town puzzled many residents in the town.

That night, all the residents in the town were very puzzled. They didn't understand what happened and why those native masters left here suddenly.

And in the process of being here, except for some gold and silver, I didn't take any other things away.

This doubt has been perplexing the residents of Maqiao Town all night long.

Throughout the night, the local residents were a little restless and couldn't sleep well.

As soon as the next day dawned, many local residents gathered in the town, gathered around the respected old Lu, and whispered about this strange incident.

Mr. Lu is the most respected old man in Maqiao Town. His original name was Lu Shengming. It is said that from the day Maqiao Town appeared, their Lu family has settled here for generations.

Today, in the entire Maqiao Town, except for a small number of residents with foreign surnames, the rest are all descendants of the Lu clan.

Lu Shengming Lu Lao is already 90 years old this year. In this era, he is a very rare old birthday star.

Because he has lived for a long time, has seen a lot, and when he was young, he passed the examination of scholar, so he is a well-known master of scholar in the whole Linjiang County. The patriarch of the Shanglu clan.

Regardless of seniority or prestige, Elder Lu is very influential in the local area. It is said that before Annan County was invaded by the natives of Dayue, some Linjiang County Lords appointed by the imperial court would visit Elder Lu in person before taking office. .

Moreover, when Mr. Lu was young, he had served as Master Qiangu for many Linjiang county lords, so he was even more respected.

At this moment, many folks and elders gathered around Mr. Lu, talking about it.

"Old Lu, what happened last night? Why is there such a big movement on the north bank of the Yuanjiang River?"

"Why did those native lords escape overnight, did some war happen?"

"Yes, something must have happened. Last night when I got up to pee, I saw with my own eyes that Baku, a big and fat pig, led his family and cronies and fled Maqiao Town in the dark."

"What should we do now? Mr. Lu, please come up with an idea..."

There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and everyone's expressions were full of panic and anxiety.

It was obvious that the common people living in Maqiao Town were all a little uneasy about the overnight escape of those native masters.

At this moment, with the support of several young clansmen, Elder Lu slowly raised his skinny hands, and said calmly: "Fellow folks, don't panic, listen to what this old man has to say."

As soon as this remark came out, in an instant, the noisy scene of discussion immediately quieted down.

Everyone turned their attention to Mr. Lu, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Old Lu looked at everyone calmly, and said slowly: "Last night, the old man sent Lu Feng to the north bank with a few able-bodied clansmen to investigate. Counting the time, it's about time to come back. Wait for them to Come back, we will know what happened then..."

Before the words were finished, suddenly, everyone heard a rush of horseshoes from outside the streets of the town.

Immediately, a young clansman standing next to Elder Lu reminded loudly: "Patriarch, it's Lu Feng, they're back!"

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and looked behind them.

Sure enough, he saw a lean young man galloping towards him on horseback, leading several sturdy men.

In a blink of an eye, they entered the street and headed straight for the crowd.

Seeing this, all the fathers and villagers retreated under the eaves and gave way to the road.

Soon, the skinny young man led a few riders to Elder Lu, and when they were still five feet away from Elder Lu, they quickly got off their horses and walked quickly to Elder Lu. forward.

The thin young man bowed to Elder Lu, and said respectfully, "Grandpa, Feng'er is back."

Elder Lu nodded and said with a smile, "Did Feng'er find anything?"

Lu Feng took a deep breath, and said: "There is a strange group of troops on the south bank, who forcibly crossed the Yuan River. Yesterday, they fought fiercely on the edge of the Yuan River, and the corpses killed by the Dayue River Defense Army were scattered all over the field, and blood flowed like a river. .”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone at the scene was shocked.

Mr. Lu slowly opened his cloudy and dim eyes, and suddenly burst into light, he said, "A strange team? Could it be a secret army sent by the court?"

Lu Feng shook his head and said, "I don't think so. That team has a total of 5000 people, all of them are dragon spirits and tigers, and their expressions are sturdy. At first glance, they look like a group of ruthless people who often lick blood on the knife's edge. From their In terms of behavior and weaponry, they don't look like soldiers of the Song Dynasty. However, the combat effectiveness of this team is extremely fierce. With a mere 5000 people, they defeated the [-] Great Crossing River Defense Alliance Army. All the water monkeys blocking the river were slaughtered, and we found a large number of dead water monkeys on the banks of the lower reaches of the Yuan River."

Hearing this, Mr. Lu was shocked and fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a moment, he slowly raised his head, looked at Lu Feng and said, "Feng'er, have you seen clearly who the leader of this team is?"

Lu Feng lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "I didn't see it clearly. There are many warriors in this team. They are extremely vigilant. The hidden horse detection posts are scattered around the camp. Feng'er can't approach the camp within a hundred steps." However, because Tantou is good at concealment, he seems to see it more clearly than me. According to him, the leader of this team seems to be a young man with no martial arts. As for what he looks like, he doesn't know Don't dare to get too close, because around the young man, there are always more than a dozen warriors with strength above the sixth rank secretly protecting him."

"A young man with no martial arts?"

After learning this information, Elder Lu's doubts became more and more serious.

Seeing that Mr. Lu was suddenly silent, Lu Feng couldn't help but said again: "Grandpa, what is the origin of these people? Why are their fighting power so fierce? In the past, when did the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty cross the river?" Those who were not killed by the Dayue people came back, but this time, this team that suddenly crossed the river was able to kill those arrogant Dayue people all over the field, without any power to fight back. The background is really amazing.”

After a long silence, Elder Lu spoke again: "Feng'er, where is this team now?"

Lu Feng said: "Last night, they camped on the north bank. Early this morning, they broke up their camp and set off. Looking at the direction they are going, it seems that they are going to take Guanyang Road to Linjiang County."

Hearing this, Elder Lu's body shook violently, and his expression changed on the spot: "Are they carrying a lot of horses and luggage?"

Lu Feng nodded and said, "At least hundreds of cars."

Elder Lu took a deep breath and said, "Hurry up and tell all the folks and folks to find a place to hide as soon as possible. Within two hours, that team will definitely pass by our Maqiao Town."

As soon as this remark came out, Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Grandpa, if they are going to Linjiang County, it is half faster to take Guanyang Road than to go to Maqiao Town, how could they abandon the distance? "

Mr. Lu shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "There is a river blocking the road on Guanyang Road, and they can't cross the river with their horses and horses. In addition, there is no tree felling in that area, so they just want to make rafts to cross the river." No. In this case, they will definitely take a detour to Maqiao Town. Okay, it’s useless to talk too much. Hurry up and sound the horn to inform the villagers to find a place to hide. The origin of this team is unknown, so we must be careful... ..."
