Li Zixiao rode on the horse, followed by a neat queue, he was in a very good mood, and couldn't help humming a little song.
It took a total of six days to attack Linjiabao on this trip, but they took Linjiabao at a very small price, harvesting more than 2,000 stone of grain, more than 3,000 taels of silver, and countless other materials.
After several days of transportation, Dong Zhuang had completely emptied the Lin family fort and transported all the materials seized from the Lin family to the cottage.
Of course, before leaving, Li Zixiao did not forget to give the tenants who lived in Linjiabao enough food for the winter, and Li Zixiao had this batch of food in his hands, and he could spend this winter safely.
Li Zixiao led people to walk on the road and returned to the cottage, and suddenly a horse galloped in front of him, which frightened Li Zixiao's subordinates immediately into a state of alert, and only after taking a closer look did they recognize that it was his own family, the scout of the cottage.
A tall horse, a man in leather armor, with a waist knife pinned to his waist, a long plastic in his hand, and a small red flag behind his back, the person who came was called Han Tong, and he was a scout.
At this time, Han Tong's face was pale, with a hint of panic and grief, he rode his horse and rushed to the marching team, and when he saw Li Zixiao, he turned over and jumped off the horse.
didn't even care about handing over the reins to others, so he galloped to Li Zixiao, knelt down in front of Li Zixiao and cried.
Originally, Li Zixiao was in a good mood, but when he suddenly saw Han Tong's appearance, his heart suddenly became nervous, something must have happened, could it be that something happened to the cottage?
Li Zixiao came up with this idea in his heart, but he immediately vetoed it, after all, he had already sent Liu Chong to lead a team of people to return to the cottage in advance, and with Liu Chong's pair of people and horses, nothing would happen to the cottage.
The smile on Li Zixiao's face disappeared instantly, and he immediately shouted to Han Tong: "Han Tong, what are you crying about, old man?" What the hell is going on? Say it quickly! ”
Han Tong was scolded by Li Zixiao, and he stopped crying, looked up at Li Zixiao, and replied in a choked voice: "Big boss, something happened to the cottage, our cottage was copied, everyone was killed, and even their heads were cut off!" ”
Li Zixiao suddenly felt that his head was 'buzzing', and he almost didn't fall off the horse, this news hit him really hard.
He came out to attack the Lin family's fort, but his nest was copied first, and all the belongings he had worked hard to accumulate were all in the cottage, which was the capital of his start!
Li Zixiao jumped off the horse, walked over quickly, grabbed Han Tong's shoulder, and asked him sharply, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" How could our cottage be breached?
Did the Cai family do it? What about the rest of the people in the cottage? What about Old Master Wei? Didn't I send you to watch over every road leading to the cottage? What about Liu Chong? Didn't I send him back in advance? ”
Han Tong was also confused by Li Zixiao's series of questions, and said hesitantly: "Big boss, what do you say?" I said that our cottage was breached, not our 'White Snake Village', but our 'White Tiger Village'! ”
"Ahh
Li Zixiao looked at Han Tong's stunned look, and when he heard what he said, he finally reacted for a long time, and directly kicked Han Tong down when he went up.
"Your dead Han Tong, won't you be able to speak clearly? I'm scared to death. Although Li Zixiao was scolding Han Tong, everyone could see that the expression on his face had become soothed.
"It turned out that something happened to Baihu Village, it's okay, it's okay, it's good that the nest didn't have an accident, and I'm scared to death." Li Zixiao patted his chest, stomped his feet on the spot, and whispered.
The White Tiger Village is the cottage where he defeated Scarface and captured Scarface before, and it was originally intended to be used as the second cottage under his command, so he put more than 20 people there and put hundreds of stones of grain.
Let the people there slowly absorb some homeless people, just guard the cottage first, and wait for his side to grow stronger, and after the beginning of spring, he will send one of his generals to lead a team of people over.
At this time, Li Zixiao heard that something happened to Baihu Village, not his own nest, of course he was happy, something happened to Baihu Village, at most the twenty or so subordinates inside might have an accident.
This is not a big loss to Li Zixiao's strength, but if something happens to Lao Wo, it will be a big loss, not to mention the dozens of people in Lao Wo, some hoarded cotton cloth, wine, cattle and sheep and other materials.
Just because Li Zixiao won the first few consecutive battles, the more than 5,000 taels of silver and hundreds of taels of gold he looted were enough to make Li Zixiao feel distressed to death.
That's the money he plans to use to buy armor and horses and develop his strength, if all of a sudden is lost, some of his previous efforts will be in vain.
"Make things clear." Li Zixiao said to Han Tong in a deep voice again.
Han Tong calmed down a little, and replied to Li Zixiao: "This morning, I went to the White Tiger Village to inspect as usual, but as soon as I got there, I found that the White Tiger Drag had been copied by someone, and all the more than 20 people we left there were killed, and everyone didn't cut off their heads and hung them on the bamboo poles."
I found Zhang Ergouzi to inquire, only to know that they were officers and soldiers sent by the Yongcheng County government, and they also gathered more than 100 members of the Cai family and found Baihu Village.
Obviously, the Cai family knew that there were our people in the White Tiger Village, and there were not many of them, and when they saw that they had no chance to attack our own village, they took the White Tiger Village to open the knife, and the big boss wanted to avenge the brothers who died tragically! ”
"Okay, it's the Cai family again, they're going to fight us to the death."
After Li Zixiao heard this, he also became angry, and it took a while to calm himself down, and he said coldly, with a strong killing intent in his voice.
After sobering up a little, Li Zixiao also began to regret that there was an accident in Baihu Village, and he had to pay a lot of responsibility, and when his strength was not enough, he tried to open up a second village.
However, it was impossible to place too much power in the White Tiger Village, so that the people of the Cai family found an opportunity to easily take the White Tiger Village and kill more than 20 brothers.
For a while, Li Zixiao's heart was mixed, and he couldn't tell what it was like, but the news spread quickly among his subordinates, and he immediately began to stir.
The soldiers behind Li Zixiao were all angry, and they all shouted to enter the county seat and seek revenge on the Cai family.
At this time, Li Zixiao still calmed down, and immediately shouted: "All assemble!" ”
When everyone gathered and lined up, Li Zixiao strode to the front of the line, with a sad and indignant look, and scanned everyone's faces heavily.
From the faces of these people, he could see many emotions, and the old brothers all had the same grief and anger on their faces as him, and some of them still had tears on their faces.
During this period of time, they fought each other, fought side by side, and a brotherly friendship was born, and they feared that this hard-won life would be taken away from them.
Li Zixiao took a hard breath and said loudly to everyone in front of him: "Brothers, everyone must have heard Han Tong's words, something happened to Baihu Village.
More than twenty of our brothers have not been killed, their heads have been cut off, and now I am sad and angry, and you must be in the same mood as me!
That's right, it was our old enemy Cai family who did it, and now Lao Tzu can't wait to rush into Yongcheng County immediately and slaughter the Cai family, in order to vent my hatred.
But no, the power in our hands is not strong enough now, and we can't eat a county town at all, we need to continue to wait now, accumulate strength, and one day I will take you to the Cai family.
Can we be blamed as bandits? This damn world doesn't let us live, we can only rely on our own hands to kill a way out, we are all forced by those government lords, landlords and gentry!
Why are we all human beings, some people are born wearing gold and silver, eating fragrant and drinking spicy food, but we have to eat bran and swallow vegetables, and we can't eat enough food and clothes to cover our bodies?
Why can those local tyrants and inferior gentry occupy so much land, but we can only be tenants for them, or only divide us into a few acres of thin land?
Why do we have to pay such heavy taxes to the imperial court every year, while those rich people don't have to pay taxes? I, Li Zixiao, are not convinced!
I'm going to ask why? This is the reason why I, Li, fell into the grass, I will never rob those poor people, we only attack corrupt officials and bullies, landlords and gentry.
And now we are already with the Cai family in the county seat, they are not used to seeing us well, and they are not used to seeing us well, and they are not used to seeing that we can live well.
We finally have enough food and clothes to wear, and they are going to come and destroy all this, and I will never agree!
I, Li, swear to heaven that in a short time, I will take you to destroy this Cai family and avenge the dead brothers.
But now is not the time, all you have to do is to step up your practice, and when you are strong enough, it is time for us to take revenge, can you trust me? ”
After hearing Li Zixiao's words, the old brothers below burst into tears one by one, and they all raised their arms and shouted: "Big boss, we believe in you and destroy the Cai family." ”
"Destroy the Cai family, destroy the Cai family!" Hundreds of subordinates shouted in unison, and Li Zixiao saw that his subordinates were in the mood at this time, and their morale was rising, so why not be afraid of the Cai family.
Li Zixiao led people back to the cottage, and Wei Laofuzi, Liu Chong, Zhang Ergouzi and others were already at the mouth of the village to greet them.
"Welcome to the victory of the big boss back to the village!" Zhang Ergouzi greeted him with a flattering smile and took the initiative to lead the horse for Li Zixiao.
Li Zixiao's face was expressionless, no joy or sorrow, Zhang Ergouzi knew that Li Zixiao must have known the news of Baihu Village, and he didn't dare to say more, this guy knows when to speak and when to be quiet.
"Old Master Wei, there are a group of new brothers who are going back to the village with us this time, you go to Dong Que to find out and arrange these new people.
There are some special personnel to be placed separately, and I have told Dong Zhuang. After Li Zixiao entered the cottage and dismounted, he said to Old Master Wei.
"Yes, big boss. In addition, all the money, grain, and materials that Dong Xiang transported back before, I have already registered and sorted out the warehousing, this is the account book, please check it. ”
After Old Master Wei handed Li Zixiao a thick account book, he retreated, Li Zixiao flipped through two pages of the account book at will, and every money and grain on it, when the materials were put into storage, were clearly recorded, and Li Zixiao nodded with satisfaction after reading it.
"Stone, go and call Mr. Wenrun, Da Zhu, Wei Hong, Liu Chong, and Zhang Ergouzi to the lobby." Li Zixiao turned to Quartz and commanded, and walked towards the lobby.
Soon, Zhou Dazhu and others, who had been notified by Quartz, rushed to the lobby as soon as possible, and saw Li Zixiao sitting on the first seat waiting for them!
"Sit down!" After Li Zixiao saw that everyone had arrived, he waved his hand and said casually.
Everyone could see that Li Zixiao was in a bad mood, no one took the lead in speaking, and they all found their seats and sat down, even Zhang Ergouzi, who was the most active in the past, was dumb today.
"The old dog of the Cai family is too deceitful, Lao Tzu hasn't gone to him for trouble, but they have made the first move, you all know the situation in Baihu Village, tell me what should we do?
T, Lao Tzu didn't lose so many brothers in attacking Lin Jiabao, more than 20 people, suffered such a big loss, if Lao Tzu didn't say a word, it was not Lao Tzu's style.
I don't talk about 'a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late', Lao Tzu is just a quick retribution, and immediately revenge.
Although Lao Tzu's strength can't beat Yongcheng County now, he can't help the Cai family, but I don't believe that Lao Tzu can't retaliate against the Cai family, and find out all the fields and minerals of the Cai family outside the county for Lao Tzu and knock them down.
There is also the Cai family's caravan going back and forth between the north and the south, I want the Cai family's caravan to come out, so I will never go back, Zhang Ergouzi, this matter needs the cooperation of your intelligence the most.
I will allocate you a hundred taels of silver as working capital, and give you three days to figure out all these things I want to know.
If you can't complete the task, Lao Tzu will even settle the old accounts with you this time, and I will let you monitor the Cai family's every move near the county seat, what have you done.
The Cai family colluded with so many people from the government to leave the county seat and go to fight Baihu Village, you don't even know, what are you doing to eat, hurry up and give Lao Tzu a go, go to the old master to get the money, and come back to see me in three days. ”
Li Zixiao stared at Zhang Ergouzi, roared angrily, and was so frightened that Zhang Ergouzi shivered all over, but he responded resignedly and retreated.
Zhang Ergouzi realized that Li Zixiao was really angry this time, and his sycophancy skills were useless at all, so he was ruthless, and he must find out all the Cai family's property outside the village and the time and route of the caravan within three days.
"The big boss, he didn't rush back to his head because of anger, it's really rare, at this time, if we want to attack Yongcheng County and destroy the Cai family, it is still difficult.
However, after the new idea of revenge against the Cai family proposed by the big boss, it is also eye-catching, let's first take the Cai family's industry outside the city, collect some benefits from the Cai family, and then we will slowly figure it out in the future. ”
Qian Guangyuan said appreciatively to Li Zixiao, he was very satisfied with Li Zixiao's calmness at this moment, not being carried away by anger, and suppressing the crazy idea of revenge.
