Chapter 138: Slaughter 2 [Thanks to the monthly ticket support from the sponsor with the last number

Along the way, Old Lady Sheng never asked about Shen Congying and his group, and Shen Congying and his group also tacitly stayed around their own rooms.

Under the escort of a group of experts, the Sheng family's ship arrived in Youyang peacefully and happily.

The eldest son of the first wife, Sheng Wei, brought his whole family to greet them at the gate of the Sheng residence. The old lady of the first wife also came with a cane to greet her long-missed younger brother and sister-in-law. The old lady of the He family also came with He Hongwen.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Brother and sister!"

"Second Grandmother!"

"Great grandmother!"

The Sheng family members hugged each other and greeted each other warmly. Shitou had already led his men to patrol the area near the Sheng residence, and the masters who followed along the way also settled down near the Sheng residence one after another.

At night, Shitou collected information from the people outside and reported to Minglan: "A few days ago, a group of big bandits appeared in the south. They first said they wanted to establish themselves as emperors, and then said they wanted to surrender to our dynasty. But I don't know how they rebelled again, so they started banditry. We killed a group of pirates in Huaiyin a few days ago, and they colluded with this group of people."

Minglan: "Oh? So we did encounter pirates during our voyage?"

Shi Tou was stunned: "How did Sixth Miss know?" They handled the matter very quietly that day.

Minglan: "Uh... Tieren said he saw a group of people abandoning their boat and jumping into the river one night, but everyone else said they didn't see it."

Shitou: "Iron Blade has very strong eyesight. What she saw is indeed true. That group of pirates has a grudge against my brother and sister-in-law. We cast a net and waited for them."

"Have the thieves been caught? Did they escape by swimming? Will they come back to cause trouble to other families?"

"Don't worry, young lady. Once we catch them, we will immediately send them to the Huaiyin County Government Office to ensure that they will not harm other people again."

"That's good."

"But even though the bandits have been eliminated, the bandits still exist. The group of bandits in the south were defeated and fled north. Now a large group of them is wandering around Youyang. There are too many of them. We have no problem protecting the Sheng family's house, but it's a bit difficult to protect the entire Youyang..."

"Every place has its own garrison. If there is a rebellion in Youyang, the Jianghuai garrison should come out to suppress it. No matter how strong our people are, they are limited. How can we compete with large-scale bandits?"

Minglan recalled that in his previous life, Gu Tingye had told her that he had served in the Jianghuai garrison. At that time, he went to Jianghuai under the pseudonym Bai Ye with Zhao Zongquan's recommendation. He thought that the generals of the Jianghuai garrison would treat him favorably because of his royal family, but he was looked down upon. Not only was he not treated well, but he was arranged to do dirty work such as moving corpses and working night shifts. Gu Tingye was on duty on the night when the bandit gang attacked. After he found something unusual, he reported it to the garrison generals, but the general Xie, who was a vain person, would rather sleep than listen to Gu Tingye. Gu Tingye had to fake a military order to wake up the soldiers of the entire camp and played a "turtle in a jar" with the bandit gang, which saved the safety of the entire camp and even the entire Jianghuai territory. Although the credit for this time was ultimately taken away by General Xie alone, Gu Tingye met the loyal and righteous man Tu Er here. In the years that followed, Tu Er became a very important arm for the couple.

"Girl? Girl?" Xiao Tao saw Minglan's mind wandering halfway through her sentence, so she reminded her, "Girl, it's late at night, it's not good for Shitou to stay here for too long."

Minglan came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I just had an idea."

Shitou, Xiaotao, and Langya asked at the same time: "What?"

Minglan kept talking, and Shitou became more and more excited as he listened. After listening, he shouted, "Great!"

Minglan: "It's a little expensive, but if it can help the people, it's worth it. Xiaotao, go get my purse."

"Wait a minute," Shitou stopped Xiaotao and bowed to Minglan, saying, "Sixth Miss, the Master has told you that he will provide you with as much money as you want."

Minglan was stunned: "Ah?"

Shitou repeated, "When I left Yuzhou, the young master told me that he would give you as much money as you wanted. He had opened a pawnshop in Youyang in advance. You can just go and get the money if you want."

Xiao Tao exclaimed "Wow" and looked at Ming Lan: "Girl! Are we rich?!"

Tie Ren, who was standing nearby, also stared at what he heard: "Can money be spent like this?"

Minglan smiled shyly, then put on a serious face and scolded Xiaotao, "This is Mr. Gu's property, don't talk nonsense."

Shitou smiled and said, "Master said that this pawnshop in Youyang is for you."

Xiao Tao and Tie Ren couldn't help but yelled in envy. Ming Lan's flushed face could be seen clearly in the dim candlelight. She glared at Shi Tou and urged him, "Go quickly if you have money. Don't wait until the bandits really get into your house before it's too late."

Shitou clasped his fists and said, "I obey your command! I'll go right away!"

Langya couldn't hold it in any longer: "Girl, I want to go too!" She had longed for the military camp when she was in the Duke of England's mansion, but never had the chance to see it.

Shitou Bai said to her, "Who will take care of Sixth Miss's safety if you go? This job will take at least ten days to half a month."

Langya: "With so many experts around, one more or one less won't make a difference."

Minglan: "Go ahead. I won't be going out lately. Nothing will happen if you stay in the house. But you must be discreet."

When the third watch gong sounded, Shitou and Langya set out.

Youyang is located in a remote area with potholes on the road, and even the express delivery shop is inaccessible. The two set out from Sheng's house in the county town and had to climb over several hills to reach the territory of the Huaiyin garrison. They hurried along the way while exploring the situation, captured several bandits alive, and found a hideout.

When they arrived at their destination, it was already the evening of the third day. There was no inn nearby, so they found a dilapidated temple and rested there for the night. On the morning of the fourth day, Shitou disguised himself as a woodcutter who was robbed by bandits, and ran to the patrol post near the military camp crying and reporting the bandit den he had discovered before, asking the garrison to send troops to suppress it.

After the play, the two returned to the ruined temple and stayed there for another day. They found that the military camp had no intention of sending troops, and there was no scout to verify the information. Shitou went to the sentry again to ask, but this time he was directly driven away. Shitou was so angry that he cried beside the military camp, saying how he was robbed and how wronged he was, and begged the officers and soldiers to make a decision for the people.

But who would care about him?

When it was getting dark, a soldier as big as a bear came over and stuffed a piece of cake into his hand, saying, "Go quickly! Our general won't move. It's useless to yell at him. Go back and find a new job. Don't stay here."

Shitou wiped his tears and said, "General, why don't you send troops? They are just a small group of bandits. It doesn't take many troops. We can just catch them by surprise! They have harmed many people nearby. Why don't you go and wipe them out?"

The burly soldier struggled helplessly: "I... I don't know... Maybe the general has his own strategy..."

Shitou was a little anxious: "They are the bandits who came back after being defeated in the war. They only dare to attack the common people because they have weapons in their hands. They will never be able to make a difference. What strategy should we use against them?"

The burly soldier raised his eyes and stared at him: "Aren't you a woodcutter? How do you know strategy?"

Shitou broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes rolled, and he slapped his thigh and rolled back to the ground: "I'm just anxious! I have nothing left! How am I going to live in the future!"

The burly soldier thought for a moment, then took out five copper coins from his pocket and said, "That's all I have. Use it and think of a solution yourself."

Shitou had always spent money without blinking an eye following Gu Tingye, but his tough guy heart was still hit hard by these five copper coins. He stuffed the cake and copper coins back into the other party's hand and said, "Forget it, it's not easy for you either. Since I can't get you soldiers to come, I'll go to the county government office and try..."

The burly soldier stuffed the things back into Shitou's hands and said, "Don't sue. It's useless. Those people can't catch the big thieves and don't want to catch the small thieves. If you go to the officials to sue, you will be beaten with a stick. Listen to me, take the bread and money, go north and find a new hilltop to chop your firewood again."

Shitou, like Gu Tingye, had no resistance to such kind-hearted people. He suddenly said, "Brother, I will remember your kindness. When I become successful, I will definitely ask you to join me!"

Upon hearing this, the burly soldier couldn't help but chuckle. He felt that his judgment just now was wrong. This woodcutter not only had no strategy, but also lacked a brain. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll wait for you to become rich."

Shitou bowed and asked, "My nickname is Shitou. May I ask your name, brother?"

The burly soldier also bowed: "Tu Er."

"Brother Tu, wait for me."

Tu Er smiled as he watched Shitou's receding back and murmured to himself, "He looks quite majestic and powerful, but it's a pity that he has a poor brain. No wonder he can only chop wood." He waved his hand and went back to the camp.

Shitou climbed over the hill to the place where he met Langya and told him that the army camp would not send troops. Langya said, "It really is the second situation that Sixth Miss said. General Xie in that camp is just a vegetarian Shishou!"

Shitou rolled his eyes and said, "That's called sitting in a vacant position and eating for free."

Langya: "No matter if it's meat or vegetables, since he doesn't care about the common people, then we don't need to care about him!"

It was rare for Shitou to agree with her opinion.

Langya stood up: "I'll go to the barracks now."

Shitou frowned: "You are so skinny, it will be hard to pass as a soldier, right?"

Langya: "Why should I dress up as a soldier?"

Shitou: "How else can we get the things in?"

Langya: "Do you know there is a light skill called 'Flying Swallow'?"

Shitou sneered: "You? Yan Zifei?" They had a walnut cracking competition on the boat, and Shitou lost. After that, he wanted to compete with Langya again, but Langya ignored him, which made Shitou very dissatisfied with Langya.

"Do you think I only have strong hands?" Langya bent his right leg and patted his calf with his hand, "Not even a cow can stop me with this kick." If you want to move and leap easily, you must first have great strength in your legs.

Shitou's desire to win came back, but now was not the right time. He bared his teeth at Langya and said, "When we're done here, let's go back to the old house and compete."

Langya squinted at him and said, "Don't be unwilling to accept defeat when you lose."

Shitou: "If I lose to you again this time, I will work like a slave for you for three days."

Langya: "Really?"

Stone: "A gentleman's word is as good as gold."

Langya laughed and said, "Okay, just wait, little follower." After saying that, he jumped lightly and went to the front of the mountain.
