After dressing as a widow

"Woo——" the people of Che Luo who had seven or eight people shot dead were completely irritated by Gu Lin, and brandishing a long and heavy unknown sharp weapon in their hands, they rushed over on horseback.

There is a sergeant's horse from Lizhou who stepped on a hole made by a mouse. After a moment of hesitation, he was overtaken by two or three people holding such strange sharp weapons. The strange sharp weapon pierced and split.

The other sergeants were terrified by this terrifying scene, and their hands holding the knife trembled a little.

Gu Lin frowned, holding the tripping horse that was also equipped in his hand.

The sound of metal clashing, the neighing of horses...

"Hey..." Gu Lin looked at the horse whose stomach had been torn open by the people of Che Luo Kingdom with sharp weapons, and fell to the snow with its last breath, and cut its neck neatly, so that it would no longer have to tremble in pain.

Ma's big eyes were slowly closed, and the ears that were always turning around were completely silent, and they were stuck together quietly.

A sergeant with a dangling arm came over, "My lord, our men injured 50 people in total, and nine of them died on the spot."

"How about the thieves in Che Luo Kingdom?"

The sergeant showed a touch of joy under the heavy: "We killed 170 people on the spot, and another 35 were injured and could not escape."

The sergeant said, looking at Gu Lin with a different look than before. Those who witnessed it with their own eyes, those who participated knew very well who was really responsible for winning such a big victory, the constantly changing formations, and the unbelievable force If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that there was such a person as Gu Lin.

"But my lord, we can't understand what they say, and we can't ask useful information."

"killed."

Gu Lin said: "The seriously injured people return to the Luoran county government office, and the rest of the people who can move will continue to chase these remaining people with me."

The sergeant is now very convinced of Gu Lin, Gu Lin let them continue to chase, naturally he has his reasons, and he gave the order without asking anything.

Gu Lin looked at the corpses of Lizhou soldiers and Cheluo people on the snowy ground, and picked up the strange sharp blade that made them suffer.

I saw that the handle of this sharp blade is longer than a sword, and the blade is stung on all sides. It is long and heavy, and it is somewhat inconvenient on the ground, but it is a rare sharp weapon on horseback.

The perfect weapon for the charge.

Suddenly, Gu Lin raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the burned small village, and saw the boy who was almost thrown into the fire by the people of Che Luo, his hair was burned and his scalp was burned, running towards this side.

"I'm going to follow you and kill them."

"You can't do it now." Gu Lin said.

"I'm going to kill them, I'm going to avenge my parents!" The child who just arrived at Gu Lin's waist said while weeping, Gu Lin called the sergeant over, and said, "Before you go back to the Luoran County Office, check the village If there are any survivors in the village, bring them back to the Luoran county government."

"Deputy Qianhu and the others should have arrived at Luoran County, and the food delivery people will arrive in two days, so send someone to meet them."

"Yes." The sergeant was injured in his leg and was walking with a limp. He was not part of the task of chasing the Che Luo people. He was responsible for taking the rest of the people back to Luoran County.

Gu Lin rode on another horse, "We don't have much food and grass left on us, and it will take four days at most. Even if we can't deal with the rest of the Cheluo country thieves, we will go back to Luoran County after checking the surrounding situation. You are in Luoran Join the people from Ranxian County and Fuqianhu to search the surrounding villages."

"My subordinate understands."

The sergeant with a leg injury pulled the child standing beside Gu Lin and asked him not to stand in front of the horse. Only when Gu Lin disappeared completely with his figure did he lower his head to the skinny child who was burnt on the scalp and said: "You can see how powerful our lord is. He killed all these beasts of the Che Luo Kingdom."

"You...why didn't you come earlier..." The child cried heart-rendingly, squatting on the ground and covering his face.

The sergeant was indifferent, he didn't justify that Mr. Gu brought them here as soon as he heard the news, and he didn't say how many people they injured.

The Lizhou border has been harassed by the Che Luo Kingdom for many years, and it took one person to save it. Many ordinary soldiers and civilians died at the hands of the Che Luo Kingdom every winter.

According to everyone's default in previous years, the people of Cheluo would leave after looting, and those who survived should eat and drink.

The sergeant opened the powder bottle he carried with him, sprinkled a layer on the little boy's head, and took the man who was slightly movable and treated the wound to the looted village.

As soon as they entered the village, what they saw were the naked and frozen corpses. They were indifferent for a moment and carried them directly into the fire, letting the corpses burn together with the houses.

Going further inside, there are broken and damaged things everywhere, burning thatched huts, corpses in different poses, and the sergeant who injured his leg said: "There are no living people, let's go back to Luoran County."

Such a scene makes people dare not look directly at them. These farmers may be discussing with their families what to eat for today's meal at the moment before being robbed. will be better.

Suddenly, the world was turned upside down, not only suffered humiliation, but also lost his life.

The remaining sergeants remained silent, endured their wounds, helped their immobile comrades onto the horse, and walked towards Luo Ran.

The horses were extremely fast when they chased them out, but not fast when they went back, and they returned to Luoran County Yamen only in the afternoon of the third day.

The Deputy Qian Office who had been here the day before, and the sergeants brought by the Deputy Qian Office gathered in Luoran County. When they found them, they rushed forward: "Where is Master Gu?"

Those who came first had more than 100 cavalry, and now there are only forty or fifty left?

The person who asked the question felt cold and had a bad premonition.

Feng Dong, who was riding on a horse with a child in front of him, said: "We met the thieves from Che Luoguo two days away from Luoran County. They killed more than 170 people and seriously injured more than 30 people. Master Gu took the uninjured Brother, continue to pursue those fleeing Cheluo thieves."

Together with deputy Qianhu, the sergeant who arrived a few days behind felt that he didn't seem to understand Feng Dong's words. How many people did they come? They actually killed more than 170 Luo Ranguo thieves and severely injured dozens of them. The frail Master Gu actually went after the enemy?

The man didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly reported the situation to Deputy Qianhu, who soon called Feng Dong and Deng Cheng up for questioning, but they still got the same words.

Deputy Qianhu didn't believe it, but Feng Dong explained the details of their encounter with the Che Luo people, and even repeated every word Gu Lin said, which made him believe it.

He touched his head and looked at Feng Dong: "Master Gu...is he really so powerful?"

"Subordinates don't dare to talk about your lord, but if it wasn't for your lord, let alone killing so many animals from the Che Luo country this time, I'm afraid it's the first time we meet each other, we won't be able to stand it."

Feng Dong and the others were in charge of cleaning the battlefield. Except for the weapons taken away by Gu Lin and the others, they brought back all the rest, as well as the horses from the Che Luo Kingdom.

So Deputy Qianhu organized people to inspect the surrounding villages according to Gu Lin's orders brought back by Feng Dong.

Feng Dong and the others were all injured, so naturally they didn't need to participate in the task of searching the village. They found a street, looked at the courtyard where no living people lived, and temporarily settled here.

Sergeant Feng Dong, who had injured his leg, helped his horse down and said, "Let's clean up these corpses first, and rest here for a few days, and we'll talk about it when your lord comes back."

"By the way, Deng Cheng, I forgot to tell the Deputy Qian just now. Ask the Deputy Qian to find two people to find the grain transport officer along the direction back to the state capital. Your injury should be less serious. They should be here soon. , don't make a mistake."

"Okay, be careful here."

"Don't worry, my lord has already thought about it. This place was looted by the people of Che Luo Kingdom, and they will never come back."

Deng Cheng cupped his fists at Feng Dong, and went to find Deputy Qianhu.

In the past two days, the snow has become heavier, and the patches are like goose feathers, and they will not melt when they fall on people. Every time he walks for a while, Lin Zhen will take off the bamboo hat on his head to shake the snow, and then put it on again.

Also because of the increasing snowfall, they should have arrived in Luoran yesterday, but they are still on the road now. Moreover, the small officials who came to transport food many times almost lost their way and had no choice. Don't stop and rest when the snow is heavier.

"Boss Lin, don't worry, Mr. Gu is wise and powerful, and he will definitely not be trapped."

"I know, there is no other way to rush, where are we now?" Lin Zhen saw that the little official tried his best, but it was useless to urge him, so he got off his horse and stepped into the thigh-deep snow.

The little official took a look while supporting the bamboo hat: "We are still more than ten miles away from Luo Ran. Let's rest for a while and see if the snow will be lighter. We can get there in the morning."

While talking, the little official ordered people: "You guys, come here with a shovel and get this piece of land out. The big guys have something to eat, so don't let your body get cold."

The people in Lizhou have all adapted to this kind of ice and snow weather. They walked over with a shovel, first shoveled the snow where Lin Zhen and the little official were standing, and then slowly walked along the road Make a space.

The piled up snow became a ready-made windshield, and Lin Zhen, who had been blown by the cold wind, was finally not so cold.

He patted the snow off the horse's mane, went to the meat-canning wagon, took out a box, laid it on the ground, and pried off the wooden box lid.

"For us people, seven or eight boxes are enough. Bring the pot." He took out eight boxes of canned meat and placed them on the ground covered with crushed ice.

The little official came over: "Boss Lin, what is this?"

"This is canned food. It contains cooked meat. Open it and boil it to make broth. I brought a total of [-] boxes. I originally wanted to give it to Mr. Gu and his sergeants. I didn't expect us to eat it first." up."

"Canned meat?" It's cold and snowy, eating dry food or drinking soup soaked in pickles all day long, the taste of a bird is almost gone in his mouth.

The little official's eyes lit up when he heard the word "meat".

The people below had already brought the pot. Lin Zhen pierced the lid of the canned meat made of thin iron with a knife, and took out the frozen meat can with the knife.

These canned meats are made of solid materials. Although they are pork heads, they are handled very cleanly. They are all cut into fist-sized pieces. They are cooked just right, and they taste good even if they are frozen.

The clerk and the people below all swallowed their saliva. To be honest, if it wasn't for the heavy snow today, they had to stop to rest and recuperate. If they had extra rest time, they wouldn't have tasted this stuff yet.

After opening eight boxes of canned meat in a row, Lin Zhen wiped his knife on the snow: "Okay, share some in one pot, let's have a taste."

"Thank you, Boss Lin!" The food and grass they brought was nothing like this, it was purely paid for by Boss Lin himself. The people below were very happy, and they lit two or three piles of fire under the snow wall and put the pot on it.

In such a cold weather, the boiling speed of the water was slower. After a while, a strong smell of meat spread to everyone's noses, and the stomach rumbled very loudly.

Lin Zhen was not that greedy, but he wanted to take a sip of something warm. When the canned meat melted completely in the pot, it would be cooked into a pot of porridge with sorghum rice. He held a bowl in his hand and ate carefully.

"Hiss—" The little official sitting next to him was so hot that he ate while eating, and even let out a sigh, "This canned meat is so delicious, it's fat but not greasy, it's really good."

"Boss Lin, is this what your Lin's shop also sells?"

Lin Zhen drank the porridge: "This is made of pig's head meat."

The hand holding the bowl paused for a moment: "Is the taste of pig's head meat like this?"

"Not bad right?"

"It's very good. It was a waste before. The family killed a pig and didn't get it to eat."

The petty official is also an official, so it can be seen that he is open-minded when he said these words, Lin Zhen said: "There are pigs to be slaughtered in my slaughterhouse every day, if you want to eat, go there and buy one."

"Hahahahaha too," the clerk took a sip of canned sorghum rice and meat porridge and sighed, "People in my family have said that ever since Boss Lin opened your pig farm and slaughterhouse, the meat in our state capital They are all cheaper, especially red meat, which is less than half cheaper than before, and many families in the city like to buy some toothpaste.”

"I also opened the pig farm slaughterhouse because of the soap shop and the scented soap shop. The pork slaughtered is not bad. It is fatter than before. The red meat is also delicious. I simply sell some outside."

Listening to Lin Zhen's words, the little official finished the last sip of porridge, wiped his mouth and said, "Don't talk about anything else, if you talk about business, Boss Lin, if you talk about this," the little official stretched out his index finger, then his thumb, "Others wouldn't dare say that."

"Lizhou is blessed to have you and Lord Gu in Lizhou."

The other subordinates also eat greasy mouth, they don't care what kind of pork head meat or not, as long as it is edible meat, don't pick!

After eating the porridge, the people below added two pieces of firewood to the fire. Covered by the snow wall, the big guy was not as cold as before, and his numb legs and feet gradually became numb.

The horse, who worked hard along the way, became more lively, flapping its ears and sniffing.

Taking off the bamboo hat on his head again to shake the snow, Lin Zhen looked at the sky and said, "The snow is still not getting any smaller, I'm going to rest here today."

The little official sighed: "I can't help it, Boss Lin, you should rest first."
