Hua Nongying

Song Ying is also becoming more and more proficient at taking care of things in the isolated city.Today, when he was flipping through the city lord's mansion's expenditure for the year, he saw Cheng Yiyang rushing in, saying that he had something important to report.

"What's important?" Song Ying raised her head from her abacus and asked.

"Soldiers on the edge of the city reported back quickly, saying that the rogues from Yuduo Peak who had just been expelled had gathered hundreds of people and wanted to invade my isolated city." Cheng Yiyang paused at this point and clasped his fists together: "Madam, please allow me The subordinates personally led the troops to suppress the bandits."

Song Ying was so startled that all the account books in her hands fell to the ground, "Is there going to be a war? Why?"

"Madam, please allow this subordinate to personally lead the troops to suppress the bandits!"

Looking at the young lieutenant who didn't respond to him, Song Ying opened her mouth wide and looked towards Anbu, only to see that Anbu's frowning two snow-white eyebrows had almost merged into a monogram. "This is not good!" Anbu pondered for a while, and asked Cheng Yiyang who was kneeling on the ground: "Is the situation urgent? Maybe wait until the city lord returns?"

Cheng Yiyang shook his head: "They have been confronting the soldiers and civilians on the border of Gucheng across the river for nearly two hours."

"It seems that they came prepared, at least they wanted to take advantage of the city lord's absence."

"But there is always a reason. What are they doing?" Song Ying was a little puzzled. This Yuduo Peak sounded familiar to him.

Minister An said with a long sigh: "Yuduo Peak is a mountain adjacent to our southwest border. There used to be many people who robbed houses and robbed houses. Later, they also cultivated the land. It’s just that when they were planting this spring, a heavy snowfall suddenly came, and all the seeds they sprinkled on the ground were frozen to death. Not long ago, they also went down the mountain to disturb the people, but they were suppressed by the city lord.”

Song Ying remembered that it seemed that Hall Master Qin had reported this matter in front of Hua Jiang last time. "Then they are winter creatures without food?"

Hearing this, An Bu suddenly shook his head, and said with a stern face: "The last time the city lord wrote a letter to the local county magistrate about this matter. I heard that the local area has already raised food for them for the winter. After all, hundreds of lives were lost. "

"Then they still...?"

"That's why a mere Yuduo Peak dared to openly oppose the Gucheng. Maybe there is something else going on here." Abe concluded.

So Song Ying was about to cry, but Hua Jiang was not there at the time, so I wrote him a letter from Matthew, and it would take a few days to wait for the reply, as the day lily had really cooled off.

An Bu was still calm, and he suddenly asked Song Ying: "When the city lord left the city, did he give his wife a token to dispatch troops?"

Song Ying shook her head in despair, "Perhaps when the city lord set out, he didn't expect banditry to occur near the Spring Festival."

"Without a soldier talisman..." the soldiers who defended the city could not be transferred. If it was not a last resort, it would be a serious crime of beheading. Now even Anbu seemed embarrassed.

But Cheng Yiyang said again: "Then this subordinate will take the rest of the city lord's mansion guards to fight."

Song Ying's eyes lit up, "How many guards are there in the mansion?"

Anbu calculated: "Except for those who were taken away by the city lord and the hidden guards, there are no more than a hundred guards who can be transferred out to guard the city lord's mansion."

"Ah?" Song Ying was stunned again, there were hundreds of people in the family.

But the young and passionate lieutenant general said sonorously that even if there were only a hundred or so people, he was willing to lead the brothers to fight for the lonely field.

Song Ying got up and patted the young lieutenant on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's up to you!"

Immediately, Cheng Yiyang counted the guards neatly, and Song Ying told him that if he could persuade them to surrender, he would persuade them to surrender, and try not to kill people as a prerequisite.Cheng Yiyang half-answered and led the guards towards Yuduo Peak.

Because it was right at the door of the house, it was very quick to prepare all the supplies for the guards. Song Ying was not too worried about having Anbu handle it.However, as soon as he fell on the bed, words such as war kept flashing in his mind.This involuntarily reminded him of the attack scene he saw when he first arrived at Tonglu Pass.

"Caiyi?" Song Ying quickly got up from the bed, and saw the girl coming in response.He hurriedly said: "Please come and see me, the chief executive."

Although Caiyi was puzzled, seeing how anxious the young master looked.Therefore, he did not dare to stop for a while in response to the busy voice.

When An Bu was asked how long it had been since Cheng Yiyang had led the guards there, he replied, "less than half an hour."

"Then there is still time!" Therefore, Song Ying said to Anbu again: "Please prepare a carriage for me quickly, Chief Manager."

When Anbu heard that Song Ying was going to Yuduo Mountain, his eyeballs almost popped out. "Definitely not, there must be chaos at this time. Madam doesn't know how to protect herself at all, and Vice General Cheng left early. You are joking. You can go, step on the old slave's body."

"Hey, my chief manager, what are you joking about, old man, there are priorities. If I don't come to the scene to have a look, I will be killed by myself. That is countless lives."

"The old slave only knows that the city lord will not let his wife lose a single hair, let alone put himself in danger. If the madam has anything to say, tell the old slave to listen, and the old slave will just run for you."

Song Ying suddenly found a table and climbed up, Caiyi and Anbu both screamed and came over to help him.Of course Song Ying refused, "Don't come here..." He pointed to the ground and said, "If the chief executive doesn't agree to my request, I will take the bones of the city lord... Leak (meat) and jump from here."

One was because she was anxious, and the other was because she felt ashamed. Song Ying couldn't say the word 'flesh and blood'.Of course, there are also reasons why tongue knots are unfavorable.But Caiyi and Anbe at the side heard this for real.

"Don't, ma'am..." At this moment, Anbu really wanted to die. "If you have something to say, come down first!"

Song Ying made a posture about to jump, which made Anbu tremble with fright, and shouted outside, "Come here!!!"

When Caiyi handed over clear water to rinse Song Ying's mouth, they had already traveled more than a dozen miles in the carriage towards Yuduo Peak, and I don't know if it was related to being pregnant.Song Ying lay face down on the thick cushion, vomiting non-stop.

"Young master, you can't bear it if you go on like this, why don't we take a break before we go on our way!"

Song Ying waved her hands at Caiyi feebly, and couldn't even raise the strength to say a word.Caiyi said in a crying voice: "With your appearance, it won't help if you go. Why are you so stubborn? You scare the servants and Chief An Da very much."

In fact, it's not that Song Ying didn't feel guilty about this, even he forced Anbu not to come with him.If he really did that, then the city lord's mansion would really only be left with an empty shell, without anyone making up his mind. Just in case, Anbu still gathered a few powerful secret guards to escort him out.

Before Shi Er went out, the head manager who was over half a hundred years old actually started to cry, saying that if something happened to his wife, he would not dare to live.

Caiyi waited on Song Ying and ate some liquid food and sighed: "The chief manager is so pitiful!"

"...!" He was that hateful person.

The carriage didn't run fast, Song Ying really hated how she didn't learn how to ride a horse.When he was halfway to Yuduo Peak, he ran into the guard sent by Cheng Yiyang to deliver the message.

"lady……"

Seeing that the guard was about to kneel down, Song Ying hurriedly waved at him.Caiyi understood Song Ying's intentions, and said to the people: "Brother guard, speak quickly."

"Ma'am, this battle...is difficult!"

It wasn't until Song Ying arrived that she realized how difficult the battle was that the guards and Cheng Yiyang said was difficult to fight.Because, across the river, all the old and weak, women and children are confronting him.Almost all of them are skinny and look like they are skinny and malnourished.

When Song Ying was helped to the shore by Caiyi, she was completely shocked.In fact, Cheng Yiyang also has one head and two big heads.Although he is not very old, he is highly valued by Huajiang. When he went to battle to kill the enemy, let alone a hundred or so people against hundreds of people, even if he was the only one who charged forward, he would not be afraid.It's just the current situation...

He looked at Song Ying silently, and after a long time bowed his head and said, "I won't kill the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled!" Zhang Ruo was quite embarrassed.

Song Zhang gave him a blank look, "I didn't let you kill him."

"But..." He pointed to the opposite side, "They are already preparing to cross the river."

"I saw it!" Song Ying asked the sky speechlessly. He who has never seen the big world is really anxious like an ant on a hot pot at this moment.

But another guard asked again: "If they attack us later, shall we fight back or not?"

Cheng Yiyang looked at Song Ying again, and Song Ying asked him, "How did you deal with such things in the past?"

"Never met before!"

"..." Song Ying scratched her head and thought, maybe she really should bring An Bu here. "Can it still be delayed?" It would be even better if it could be delayed to Huajiang.

Cheng Yiyang looked at the figure getting closer to Jiang Xin, but didn't open his mouth.

"Or, do you know why they want to be with us..." Song Ying didn't know how to describe it for a while, so she gestured with her hands.

At this time, some people who were nearby replied, "It's not their damn county magistrate who left such a large group of people in the mountains without asking or raising food. This is to starve them to death on the top of the mountain. This is good, they have nothing to do with their own magistrates, so they want to find us in neighboring counties to rob food. You know, it is not easy for us ordinary people to make a living as a family. What do we eat when they rob us?"

Song Ying was taken aback.I quickly found the old man who knew the details and found out that when Huajiang went to the magistrate of a neighboring county to write a letter, the other party returned to Huajiang and said that he was preparing to raise food.In fact, it has not been implemented seriously.First, some people felt that the other party was a bandit who did many evils and robbed houses.Second, they have not paid a single copper tax to the imperial court.Therefore, the county magistrate actually has nothing to do with them.What's more, it's not that ordinary good people can report to open warehouses for food relief.

Some people even said: "Yuduo Mountain neither belongs to the isolated city, nor does it actually belong to any county in the neighboring city. It is born in the middle of the two sides."

"So, it's the three-way zone?" Song Ying walked towards the first batch of old people who crossed the river, and then looked at the very few middle-aged bandits on the other side of the river. "It's really lucky that they figured it out. Cheng Yiyang!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"You control the situation here first, and don't let the two sides really start a fight.... Is the county magistrate from this county here?" He asked behind him.

An old man in his fifties with a goatee came out and greeted Song Ying.Song Ying hooked her fingers at him and said, "Take me to the nearest...you can find any place where you can discuss things."
