Everyone followed Zhu Zi'an's gaze and looked at Nangong Hongyun and Bei Mao in amazement. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"You said the food army will come here? How is it possible, the route of the year before last only passed here" Li Shengdi asked in horror, looking incredulous.

Zhu Ziju couldn't believe what the two of them said, and said with a smile, "Yes, the route of the grain army has not been repeated for more than ten years, how can you come here?"

In the face of everyone's doubts, Nangong Hongyun and Bei Mao looked solemn, as if they didn't know what to say to convince everyone. At this time, Bai Yingping walked up to Nangong Hongyun and asked, "General Nangong, what is going on?" ”

"Major General!" Seeing Bai Yingping who suddenly appeared, Nangong Hongyun was startled, hurriedly took a step back, and said respectfully, "That's the case, the day after you made a big fuss in Bai County, the grain army came, and they were going to leave when they had collected enough grain." However, Cao Fu and Guo Zhang were afraid of Chen Gong's punishment because they failed to protect the stronghold of the Godman Project in Baixian. He ordered everyone to hand over all the food, gold, silver, and jewelry, and if they did not pay it, they would be killed. Now Bai County may have become a ....."

Nangong Hongyun's face became solemn as he spoke, and his head was lowered. Everyone seemed to have guessed the result, and they all kept their heads down and kept silent.

Zhu Zi'an walked to the wooden door with anger and punched the door frame, "This dog emperor has ordered this army to come out every year to collect the people's fat and ointment, which is really infuriating!" ”

Ye Cheng, who had been taking care of Xia Meng, heard their angry and low voices, and hurriedly handed the steamed buns in his hand to the female shopkeeper beside him, turned to look up at everyone and asked, "What are you talking about the grain army?" ”

Bai Yingping looked at it and asked first with concern, "Is Miss Xia better?" ”

"Well, I'm getting to eat."

"You also eat some, your thin body will not be able to stand it after three days of hunger"

Hearing Bai Yingping's persuasion, the people on the side looked over and persuaded him, "Yes, Eighth Brother, your body is not as strong as ours, so eat some."

"Eighth brother, eat something"

.........

Ye Cheng saw that so many people cared about him, and he was inexplicably moved in his heart, and with a pair of slightly moist eyes, he looked back at Ding Yuxuan and the female shopkeeper who were helping to take care of Xia Meng, and said weakly, "I'm fine, I'd better leave the water and food to them."

Immediately afterwards, he slowly supported his weak body with his hands on his knees, "Or tell me what the grain requisition army commander is, so that we can make plans." ”

Zhu Ziju came over and explained, "Eighth brother, you live in the deep mountains, you may not know anything outside the mountains. The Grain Levy Army is an army appointed by the emperor himself, personally designated the route, and specialized in collecting grain, gold, silver and jewelry."

"The grain army starts to set out after the autumn equinox every year, when most of the grain in the fields is harvested, so every year the grain army can harvest a large amount of grain, gold, silver and jewelry to return to the dynasty. And the places where the grain army passes by are either full of corpses or complaints, and the villages and counties that survive will also starve to death because of the lack of food."

"Can't you predict the route of the grain army in advance?" Ye Cheng turned his head to look at Zhu Ziju and asked strangely.

Zhu Ziju shook his head and went on to explain, "The route of the grain army is drawn on a scroll that they call the Holy Road. In the case of Qingkushan Mountain, even if they knew that they were going to pass through the avenue below the mountain, they might skip Qingkushan and go to the next place to collect it. Therefore, if you want to know exactly where you will be scraped, you can only get the holy road."

"How many people are there in the grain army? Can we resist? ”

Hearing Ye Cheng's question, everyone was silent again, looking at the ground with a low head and a pair of shocked eyes.

"Hey, don't you don't stop talking," Ye Cheng shouted anxiously when he saw them like this.

Suddenly, Li Shengdi, who had been bowing his head and being silent, looked over, and said in a low voice, "Eighth brother, when we met for the first time, didn't I say that Zhongyi Village was exterminated." ”

Ye Cheng nodded, and Li Shengdi continued: "At that time, Zhongyi Village was the most powerful cottage in this Qingdry Mountain. There are thousands of bandits, 5 generals, 3 civil ministers, and the calamities of the gods are all above the Xu Tribulation. But such a strong cottage has no place to fight back in front of the 50,000 army of the grain army. Moreover, the three generals of the grain army are the generals of the middle calamity, and they have unsealed two more than the Xu Tribulation."

An army of 50,000! Ye Cheng suddenly showed a look of horror.

No wonder they were so horrified when they heard that the grain conscripts were there. The emperor of a country would let such a huge army collect grain, and let the army kill the people. It seems that the emperor of Xiao Luanguo is just a faint monarch.

But what now?

There has been no news from the Wolf Tooth Village for three days, and it is impossible for them to let the thousand brothers die, and they will definitely kill them.

The grain army has wiped out Zhongyi Village once, and if it knew that Zhongyi Village was formed again, it would definitely attack it. When the time comes, it will depend on the current dozens of people? I'm afraid that the explosion will be taken down before it is finished. If the grain army relied on a large number of people to besiege from all directions, Li Shengtian and they would even hit the stone with an egg.

Ye Cheng thought about it, his expression was solemn, and he still wanted to persuade Li Shengdi to go with him.

"Second Brother ......"

Before he could say anything, suddenly, Zhu Ziping, who had been guarding the door, shouted, "Everyone be careful, someone is coming"

Hearing this, everyone became nervous. I didn't expect that Li Shengtian, who had been indifferent to them for three days, would send someone over at this time.

"Where's it? How many people? Zhuzian shouted in a low voice.

Zhu Ziping's voice became smaller at this time, "It's almost time to reach the stairs, two people, two little thieves"

"What now?" Zhu Zi'an turned his head to look at everyone and whispered.

At this time, Nangong Hongyun looked at Bai Yingping anxiously, "Young General, let's go." I'm afraid that the grain army has already arrived in the village, and it will definitely go to the bottom of Qingkushan tomorrow morning. ”

"What did you say!" Hearing this, Ye Cheng looked at Nangong Hongyun with a pair of shocked eyes and let out an exclamation. He eased his panic and continued to ask, "Do you mean that the grain army passed by the village, or has the village been looted?" ”

Nangong Hongyun looked over and explained, "We don't know this, we are only a few hours ahead of the grain army." The only thing that is certain is that they will definitely pass by the village."

Hearing this, several people who went to Baixian gradually became uneasy. The princes lived beside Ye Cheng and whispered, "Eighth brother, the child we just rescued ......"

Ye Cheng stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhu Ziju's words, and then said quickly, "No matter what the situation in the village is, we have to go and take a look." Brother Zi An, you go and block the entrance of the hole, it is difficult for them to find it in the dim house. Wait a minute, I want to trouble General Nangong and this Beimao brother to knock those two people unconscious, and then we will leave quickly."

"It's simple," Nangong Hongyun beckoned, Bei Mao walked behind the wooden door and hid.

At this time, the sound of unlocking and chains colliding with each other came from the wooden door. The five brothers hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the cave, turned their backs to the entrance of the cave, and smirked.

The wooden door gradually opened, and two thieves entered. A bandit with a key in his hand shouted "Come with us, the big boss let you try......"

"Bang"

Before they could finish speaking, Nangong Hongyun and Bei Mao took advantage of their defenselessness and quickly rushed out from behind the door and slammed the back of their necks.

The two of them instantly saw darkness and slowly fell to the ground. Nangong Hongyun and Bei Mao squatted down and grabbed them, and slowly lay the two of them on the ground.

Then step over their bodies and walk towards the entrance of the cave, "Let's go."

The five brothers of the Zhu family also ran over to help support the weak Ye Cheng and Xia Meng, Ding Yuxuan, and the four female shopkeepers.

"Eighth brother, come with them, I still decided not to go with you"
