"We can't go any further, and then it's the territory of the Miao people, and we Tujia and Miao people can't sit together and drink, and they won't buy our account." The Tujia man who explored the road with Hou San did not move forward, just because the stilted building unique to the Miao family appeared in the telescope. If it was before, maybe Hou San would have disdained the words of this Tujia man, but after getting along for half a month, Hou San knew that these Tujia men were not people who had nothing to do.

"Give me the map" Hou Sanyuan returned and told Tang Cheng what the Tujia man had just said, but the latter did not show panic, but ordered Liu Shi to open the map. These Tujia men were supposed to return to the village in the previous town, but Tang Cheng promised to add three more oceans per person as a reward, and these Tujia men agreed to continue to escort Tang Cheng and others, if the Tujia and Miao people could not sit together and drink, this meant that these Tujia men would no longer protect their own people, and they would not make enemies of the Miao people for their own outsiders.

"We're just passing by here, and we won't do anything to them, so the Miao people here shouldn't do anything to us, right?" At present, only Tang Cheng and a few people around him know about this, and only Tang Cheng and Hou San are really aware of the crisis, Tan Fei even thinks that the Miao people here should be as easy to make friends with the Tujia people. Tang Cheng ignored Tan Fei, just looking for his current location on the map, the fierceness of the Miao people, Tang Cheng had only heard about the wounded soldiers of the Dian army, but he didn't dare to take it lightly.

"The front is Jianhe County, the Miao people you see should be familiar seedlings, no matter what, let's go to Jianhe County first." Tang Cheng actually didn't believe that the Miao people would be as terrible as those people in the Dian army said, since the front was Jianhe County, Tang Cheng planned to go to the county seat first to do calculations, and even the county seat was full of Miao people. Tang Cheng was right, not to mention the county seat, even the whole territory of Guizhou could not be Miao people, entering the county seat of Jianhe, Tang Cheng and the others found that this was no different from the last town they entered.

There were so many of them in Tang City that the largest inn here couldn't accommodate all of them, so Tang Cheng had to separate the soldiers and civilians into two inns to settle the matter. Jianhe County is not a closed place, on the contrary, there are many horse gang traders here, but a team with such a number of people as Tang Cheng is rare, especially in Tang City, where they still have dozens of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Dian Army.

There were dozens of soldiers of the Yunnan army in the county, which was undoubtedly a big news in Jianhe County, and they had just settled in the inn in Tangcheng, and the head of the security regiment of Jianhe County came to the door with more than a dozen soldiers of the security regiment. The head of the security regiment surnamed Qian has a very rustic name, called Qian Erxi, but Qian Erxi's temperament is not as rustic as his name, on the contrary, Qian Erxi is a person who thinks he is very smart, and he took the initiative to come to the inn just to determine whether the Tangcheng gang was a rout.

"Commander Qian, I have already shown you the warrant just now, which is enough to prove that we are ordered to return home, not some kind of rout as you suspect." The person who talked to Qian Erxi was Lao Huang, the highest-ranking soldier in the wounded soldiers of the Yunnan Army, and Lieutenant Lao Huang, who only had one arm left, and it was very appropriate to talk to Qian Erxi, the head of the county security regiment. Although Lao Huang is also illiterate, there is a serious Tan Fei standing next to him, which makes Lao Huang not take down the warrant, and Tang Cheng also needs to understand the content of the conversation between Lao Huang and Qian Erxi.

"It's good if it's not, it's good if it's not, our Jianhe County is a small place, and it's not easy for the villagers to live, so I'm afraid that the chaotic soldiers will disturb the lives of the villagers, isn't it." Qian Erxi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. He is nominally the head of the security regiment, but in fact, he is the same as the leader of the regiment elsewhere, and the soldiers under his command are only forty or fifty people, not to mention that Tang Cheng is not a rebel, even if it is a rebel, Qian Erxi has no way to take Tang Cheng and the others.

"This product should just be here to inquire about the news, and I guess there should be people in this county who are interested in us." Tang Cheng, who was standing on the 2nd floor, looked at Qian Erxi who left the inn, and he couldn't see any expression on his face. Qian Erxi's appearance did not make Tang Cheng feel strange, after all, Qian Erxi was the head of the local security group, but only one Qian Erxi came, but Tang Cheng was wary of this county.

As Tang Cheng guessed, there were indeed people in Jianhe County who had a mind about Tang Cheng, and the person who moved this mind was the Li family in Jianhe County. The Li family is a big family in Jianhe County, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Li family has settled here, after hundreds of years of accumulation of generations, the Li family has firmly controlled the affairs of Jianhe County, and even many Miao villages around Jianhe County have to be at the mercy of the Li family. The Li family is not short of money or brains, but now that it is a troubled time, the Li family needs to have the ability to protect themselves, and Tang Cheng and their veterans who were withdrawn from the front line naturally fell into the eyes of the Li family.

Qian Erxi was indeed a spy sent by the Li family to ask for directions, and his visit was just to confirm their intentions and places in Tang Cheng, and by the way, to find out the truth of Tang Cheng. "Rest for the night, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning." Tang Cheng didn't care who was interested in his people, he didn't believe that the bamboo bow of the Miao people had won his own bullets and artillery fire, in the face of the Japanese attack, Tang Cheng was not afraid, but there were only some Miao people, Tang Cheng was naturally not afraid.

Tang Cheng is closed here, and the civilians are wandering around the county town in a chaotic manner, and the people of the Li family have also learned a lot about Tang Cheng from those civilians, and they have already known that the real person in charge is Tang Cheng. "Give them a little bit of power first, and then our family will come forward, I don't believe that these soldiers can't be retained." The Li family sent people to the nearby Miao Village, and half an hour later, the war drums were beaten in the Miao Village, and a large number of Miao people began to assemble, waiting to go to the county seat in the evening to find their troubles in Tangcheng.

The excuse made by the Miao people was very bad, at least after Tang Cheng heard it, he felt that it was very bad, and Qian Erxi, who came to the door again, brought three Miao people, who came to the inn to recognize people, and the Miao people said that a few soldiers ran to their village to rob things. Lao Huang, who was missing an arm, also laughed after hearing the reason of the cat man, and laughed very crazy, although these people can no longer continue to fight, but they have all seen blood with real swords and guns from the Japanese army, Qian Erxi took a few Miao people to the inn to find trouble, which made Lao Huang very annoyed.

Lao Huang was thinking about whether to throw the three Miao people out of the inn, but Tang Cheng, who had been on the second floor, was helped out by Liu Shishi and Zhang Xiaobao. "Lao Huang, since they are here to find someone, then let them find it, if they can't find it, ask Commander Qian to give us an explanation, otherwise, we can become the soldiers you don't want to see at any time." Tang Cheng only glanced at the three Miao people, and then set his eyes on Qian Erxi, Li Jiayuan wanted to use the three Miao people and a bad excuse to provoke Tang Cheng and them, as long as these soldiers and the Miao people clashed, the Miao people of the security regiment and the brigade outside the inn would have the opportunity to make trouble, but Qian Erxi did not expect that Tang Cheng would come forward and agree to let the Miao people recognize people in the inn. Qian Erxi took the three Miao people to carefully identify the inside and outside of the inn, and finally failed to find the few rebels they said.

"Commander Qian, we are soldiers who have been ordered to return to their hometowns, Lao Huang, they are all soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the country, don't think that we and the soldiers you imagine are people all the way. Thousands of Japanese soldiers failed to kill us, and I'm afraid these Miao people you brought won't be able to, if you don't believe it, we can try. As soon as Tang Cheng's words fell, Hou San, who had already been prepared, moved the light machine gun out according to Tang Cheng's arrangement.

Qian Erxi didn't know that most of the ammunition boxes next to the machine guns were empty, he would only think that Tang Cheng's gang had enough ammunition, and the rifles in Tang Cheng's hands alone were enough for the Miao people to bleed their blood, plus these two machine guns, Qian Erxi could already guess what the consequences of the conflict with this group of people from the Dian army would be. Without Qian Erxi's signal, the three Miao people he brought into the inn had no way to identify the rebels they were talking about, so they could only leave.

"Head Qian, I'm afraid you didn't listen carefully to what I said just now." Qian Erxi, who was about to say goodbye and leave, was stopped by Tan Fei, and before Qian Erxi could turn his face, Lao Huang had already smashed Qian Erxi's head with the teapot on the table. Tang Cheng was helped by Liu Shi and slowly squatted down, squatting in front of Qian Erxi, who was covered in blood, "I just said, if you can't find the person you want, Head Qian, you need to give us an explanation." This is an inn, but it's also our temporary headquarters, so you don't think it's as easy to get in and out of this place as it is to get in and out of your own home. ”

Qian Erxi was already stunned by Lao Huang, he didn't expect Lao Huang to do it to himself, after all, this is Jianhe County, and he is still the head of the security regiment of Jianhe County. "You're a, you can't understand reasoning, you can only talk to you with your fists." Faced with the coercion of Lao Huang and others, Qian Erxi didn't last long, so he confessed to the Li family. Lao Huang didn't care if the Li family was a local gentry, and directly took advantage of the darkness to break into the Li family with a machine gun.

Tang Cheng slept well this night, and there was no other trouble in the county except for the initial gathering of hundreds of Miao people. There was no riot and no gunfire as the Li family expected. It's just that when they left Tangcheng the next day, the Li family, a large local family, not only sent horses and supplies and guides to Tangcheng, but also sent several of the Li family's most powerful sons and nephews to escort Tangcheng along the road to their territory through the Miao people.

No one knows why the Li family would do this kind of loss-making business, but after this group of Dian troops left the county, not only did Qian Erxi, the head of the security regiment, claim to have broken his head while walking at night, but even the Li family claimed that someone in the family was sick, and the Li family would close the door in the near future and not see outsiders.
