Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

The thieves here

The person who went back to report told their leader that Magistrate Tian and his group had already appeared and were resting on the roadside at noon, near the official road. The thieves thought that Magistrate Tian and his group would arrive at their ambush point around sunset today. As a result, when it was too dark and no one was there, they sent people to investigate again. However, when they met them on the road, the group estimated that Magistrate Tian might take a small path to the village there. According to their team, they could not arrive before the city gate, and there was no village to stay in front of the county. So they should stay in Dali Village on the straight road of this triangular road tonight. With so many people, they could not avoid being discovered, and they did not dare to make too much noise about this. So this group planned to ambush at the intersection of the two routes on the road they had to pass. There happened to be a mountain there, and they squatted directly on the mountain. So this group set out overnight to ambush the big mountain called Dali Mountain.

Dali Village

Seeing Tian Yuheng coming back, "What did they reply?" Tian Yuze asked first as soon as he entered the room.

"They agreed, but they are also worried about their brothers' lives and don't want us to fight to the death. They also asked what to do if we can't find enough escorts or the other side is stronger than us. I haven't thought of a solution for this yet. Father, do you have any ideas?"

After hearing this, they were silent for a while. "Oh, Dad, I remember that we also have a teahouse in this town." Tian Xing'er suddenly remembered her intelligence network, which was already in various counties in Jiangnan. I didn't pay much attention to this small county, so I forgot about it for a while. "

"Yes, I forgot it, I am really confused."

"Your teahouse website?" Tian Yuheng asked tentatively.

"Yes, my eldest brother is in charge now, I just collect money." Tian Xing'er said a little guilty, because he had not told his second brother and younger brothers about this matter, but at that time, the epidemic situation had also been disclosed, and he thought his second brother also knew about it. "Oh, by the way, Dad, you still owe me money. The intelligence costs money, and you have not paid it." Tian Xing'er said pretending to be fierce.

"Is there?" Magistrate Tian began to play dumb and then changed the subject, which was his usual trick. "Let's talk about how to deal with this matter first."

"Ask the teahouse for some information to see where those people came from. They can't appear out of nowhere, and there are so many of them. You were demoted recently, and we are leaving today. They can't have been ambushing here all along. Dad, are you your mortal enemy, the man named He? Send someone. It was a coincidence that the prefectural city was spared from the previous plague."

"Well, don't talk nonsense. Send someone to the town tonight to notify them and see if there are any clues. We can go there tomorrow to get the news." County Magistrate Tian warned his daughter.

"Let's find Tian Er. He seems to have been here before. Tian Er, come in," Tian Xing'er said as she called Tian Er in. "Tian Er, have you been here before to do something? Do you know that we are in this town's teahouse?"

"Miss, I have been here before and I know where the teahouse is. You should go tonight to find them and ask them to check the information about the group of people that Tian Da found today. You stay there tonight and we will find you tomorrow and ask them to find out as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'll be there right away." After replying, Tian Er left quickly.

"My girl, the names of your guards are still so random." County Magistrate Tian complained again about the names Tian Xing'er gave to her guards.

"Dad, let's be pragmatic. What are we talking about?"

"Speaking of which, let someone check the identity of that group of people first." Tian Yuheng smiled helplessly.

"If we find out, what should we do? What if the other party is stronger than us and we don't have enough manpower." Tian Yuze felt that he could finally get a word in.

"Or we can put drugs in their food, as it says in the storybook," Tian Xing'er suggested.

"They have been squatting here all this time and cannot live. They must have taken care of their godmother. Their diet cannot be tampered with," Tian Yuheng objected.

"Dad and the others didn't catch us, so we should change positions now." Tian Yuze pointed out the key point that everyone had forgotten.

"Dad, is there any suitable spot to wait nearby?"

"Dali Mountain, where the pipeline and the trail intersect, is the only way to the next county. There are many trees planted on Dali Mountain. The trees are still lush in this season. They can hide in the mountain and wait for us."

"There shouldn't be any big rocks on the mountain, the kind that would roll down if pushed." Tian Xing'er has been a little more relaxed and active lately.

"No, there are too many trees there to roll down."

"Then can we set fire to the mountain?" At this moment, Tian Xinger suddenly thought of the sentence "the penalty for setting fire to the mountain is life imprisonment".

"Sister, are you okay today?"

"It's okay, then it really can't be burned?" Tian Xing'er asked seriously this time.

"No, my daughter, they belong to someone else. Otherwise, how could such a large area of ​​trees remain so lush without anyone cutting them down?"

"That's it, forget it."

"Can we pretend that the mountain is burning and set a fire behind that group of people, mainly to create smoke, so that they will think there is a real forest fire and force them to come out?" Tian Yuze suddenly had an idea and suggested.

"This is a good idea." County Magistrate Tian thought this idea was feasible.

"Or think of some other backup plans. If the wind direction is wrong at that time, this method will not work." Tian Xinger's IQ was online again at this time, and she pointed out the wrong loophole.

"Well, this is a big problem." County Magistrate Tian agreed.

"If it still doesn't work, we can only split our forces into two groups. We will send a group of people to follow them, forming a pincer attack from the front and back. While the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is waiting behind." Tian Yuheng said at this time.

"When the time comes, let the guards take the empty carriages over first, and we can only wait behind." County Magistrate Tian added.

They pondered for a while, wondering if there were any other solutions, because if the two sides faced off head-on, many people would die.

They were clueless for a while, and suddenly Lao Xu's voice rang out in the yard. He shouted to Xuanhuan and the others in the direction of the woodshed, "Why don't you go to bed yet? You have to get up early tomorrow. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I have to go to town to buy some gifts tomorrow. My relatives in town are getting married the day after tomorrow, and I forgot to buy something. I'll go back to sleep, and you kids, go to bed too." Lao Xu came out to the toilet in the middle of the night. He saw that their lights were still on.

"Okay, Uncle Xu, you should go to bed early too. We'll go to bed now." Tian Yuheng replied to Old Xu.

"Oh, I got it. Dad, let's dress up as a wedding procession and go to the county town to send the bride off. We can do it right under their noses. Isn't this a good idea?" When Tian Xing'er heard Lao Xu talking about getting married, she immediately thought of this idea. At this moment, she felt that the novels she read as a otaku in her previous life were not read in vain.

"This is a good idea." Several people said in unison.

"But we escaped this time, what should we do next time? They are in the dark and we are in the light, we have to get rid of these people." Tian Xing'er said her idea freely and then realized clearly that she couldn't let those people exist forever, otherwise it would be like a thorn in her throat, and she would feel uneasy all the way.
