Joe's Farming

Tian Qi broke out in a cold sweat after being glared at by that person. He really couldn't figure out what kind of drug that guy had given the second in command to make the second in command so obsessed with him.

The boss was overwhelmed by the smooth execution of the plan.

Whatever Cao Yufan says is what it is.

"Boss, I can take 10% less money, but Xu Yuan must be handed over to me."

Yicheng, the boss's eyes lit up.

Originally, they promised Cao Yufan that he could get 20%, but now Cao Yufan is giving up half of his property just for one person. How can he not be satisfied?

"Sure, sure. As long as everything goes well tonight, I'll get whoever you want. It's a piece of cake."

In the face of interests, the boss has forgotten his original intention of becoming a bandit.

At the same time, all the people in Xu's mansion were replaced by Zhang Quan's people.

Even Fan Niang was handed over to Zhang Quan by Xu Yuan the day before.

Zhang Quan said kindly to Fan Niang, "Tonight, just pretend that everything is ready and bring them all into the mansion. Leave the rest to us, and we will definitely ensure your safety."

Fan Niang said tremblingly, "Yes."

She seemed to be shaking, and Zhang Quan hurriedly comforted her according to Xu Yuan's instructions: "Think about your family and children. As long as you behave as usual tonight and don't arouse the suspicion of those bandits, you will be able to see them tomorrow."

Sure enough, when Fan Niang heard about her family and children, she immediately controlled her trembling body and nodded vigorously to Zhang Quan, saying, "I...I can do it, sir, please don't hurt my family and children."

Zhang Quan said with satisfaction: "That's right. You are very important to us. How could we hurt your children and family? Master Xu said that they are very safe now."

Zhang Quan admired Xu Yuan very much. The Xu family was the richest in Taoyuan, but their family tradition was pure.

Xu Yuan was the youngest scholar in Taoyuan County. Although he had been in poor health since childhood, he had a very good temper and was a kind-hearted man who was generous and charitable.

So when Xu Yuan handed Fan Niang over to him and told him that he had already made arrangements to pick her up in advance in order to ensure the safety of Fan Niang's family, he did not have any suspicion at all and even sighed in his heart that this boy was very thoughtful.

In his opinion, Xu Yuan taking the Xu Mansion's guards and thugs to Shangtian Village to help his sworn brother resist possible bandits was a manifestation of loyalty.

Therefore, he generously arranged a group of people to go there to protect the Xu family and the Gu family.

But in Fan Niang's eyes, every word Zhang Quan said was a warning from Xu Yuan to her.

She did not forget how Xu Yuan arranged for them to meet, and how he threatened her to obey.

"Okay, as long as the young master can guarantee the safety of my family."

-

At the end of the Xu hour, government officials arrived at Shangtian Village and informed the bandits that they had notified their insiders to take action tonight.

Gu Feng and Gu Gang, along with their escort team, the Xu residence's guards and soldiers, were waiting by the village road.

In addition to their own weapons, Xu Yuan's men also brought a lot of medicine to distribute to everyone present, which shows how much medicine Xu Yuan specially purchased this time.

The village patrol team stood guard at the entrance of the village to prevent any fish from slipping through the layers of defense and harming the villagers.

With such thorough preparation, most people did not find the bandits scary. Instead, they were eager to try, hoping to capture one or two bandits alive and ask for a reward from the government.

But Qiao Yu doesn't think so.

Both he and Li Xin come from peaceful societies.

Although they were lucky and had predicted the bandits' actions in advance and made adequate preparations, her husband and relatives were on the front line facing the bandits.

Swords and knives have no eyes, and the more Qiao Yu thought about it, the more scared he became.

Gu Heng and the children had gone to bed long ago.

But Xu Yuan and Xu Ning, Sister Lan and Su Qing, Xiaobai and Dazhuang were all in the yard with Qiao Yu.

Even Wen Ge'er and Wang Jie's family came to Gu's yard and all stayed by Qiao Yu's side.

With so many people accompanying him, Qiao Yu finally calmed down a little.

It was boring to just sit there like that, and the mountain breeze was quite chilly at night, so Qiao Yu asked Da Zhuang to light two fires in the yard.

We took out all the utensils used for making tea around the stove last year, and prepared various dried fruit snacks for everyone to eat while waiting.

Da Zhuang originally wanted to go to the front line, but Gu Feng said he didn't have any experience.

Seeing that everyone was not in any danger in the yard, Da Zhuang said that he would go to guard the village entrance and run back immediately to report any news.

Qiao Yu hesitated, but Xiao Bai nodded to him: "Go ahead. Be careful."

As he said this, he stood up and went to the shack to get him a sickle.

Qiao Yu: …………

"Da Zhuang, remember safety comes first. Don't be impulsive." Qiao Yu finally instructed.

Da Zhuang grinned and consoled him, "Don't worry, Boss. I often fight with Tie Zhu from the guard team, and we're evenly matched. He can fight the bandits in the front, so I'm not much different."

Seeing that Qiao Yu was about to curse, he immediately changed his words and said, "I...I will just guard the entrance of the village and will never get in their way."

Qiao Yu then relaxed his expression: "Your training is completely different from theirs. Their swords are different from yours. You just guard the entrance of the village. If anything happens, run back. Got it?"

Da Zhuang nodded vigorously: "Okay, boss. I understand."

Da Zhuang left the yard and ran towards the village entrance.

When he arrived at the village entrance, he found that there were far more people than he had imagined.

Da Zhuang:? ? ?

The patrolman recognized him and waved at him: "Da Zhuang, are you here to fight bandits too?"

Da Zhuang looked around at the villagers blankly and asked, "Are they all?"

The man laughed and said, "Isn't it? The village chief has told everyone to lock the doors and windows tightly and not to come out when they hear any noise. They should wait until the government officials have arrested all the bandits before coming out. But you see, no matter how much we persuade them, they won't go back."

When the nearby villagers heard the patrol say this, they became unhappy: "You are guarding outside the village, and we are hiding at home. We are all from the same village. What's the point of saying this? We are not cowards, right?"

Several other villagers nearby immediately agreed.

"No one is scared. How many bandits can there be? There should be at most 20 from Suining to here. I don't believe that we can't defeat them with so many people!"

"Let them know that we in Shangtian Village are not to be trifled with!"

"That's right! When I was young, I also went to the battlefield and killed the enemy."

Da Zhuang looked at this group of people, including some middle-aged people and an energetic old man, and couldn't help but feel moved.

He was just about to shout slogans with everyone to boost morale. This was a side effect of working in the villa. When Li Xin had nothing to do, he liked to find them and give them some slogans to shout.

Then Li Ming (the eldest son of the village) said in a low voice: "Alright, alright, if you don't sleep, other people in the village will have to sleep too.

We made such a big noise here that even if those bandits were dumb, they knew something was wrong in the village and quickly found a place to hide.

Don’t let it affect the people in front of you.”
