"Husband, look at that, look at that." Jiang Ruxue excitedly took Fengyun Shang's hand, pointed to a place where acrobatics were performed, and said, "Let's go and have a look."

In the past, when Yang Yun and Jiang Ruxue sneaked out, wherever they dared to come to a prefectural city, they would always go to some small county town that was relatively close to Mangdang Mountain.

The scenery in Fucheng is naturally very different from that in the county. Many things that are extremely precious to people in the county are nothing more than daily necessities in the eyes of people in Fucheng.

I didn't notice it before, but since I came to Mangdang Mountain and had more contact with the bandits in the mountain, Fengyun Shang discovered that the gap between rich and poor in Chaotian Kingdom had reached an outrageous level.

After staying at Li Zilai's house for a few days, he took Jiang Ruxue to see the beautiful scenery around Liyang Fucheng and ate all the delicious food. Then he bought her some rouge and gouache, and the two of them said goodbye and left.

Returning to Dongyu Village, Fengyun Shang took a look at the recent affairs in the village and found that they were all handled well, so he felt relieved.

Throughout the summer, there were some local turbulences in the Mangdang Mountains, but they did not affect the Chuqi and Dongyu villages. After spending the summer peacefully, it was time for the two villages to eat again.

"This is a bottle of Dan Yuan Dan. You can take it." He found Yang Ju, handed him a Dan Yuan Dan, and said, "The quality of the remaining Dan Yuan Dan in the family is not very good. This one is mine."

The first time I went to see Uncle Li, I asked him for it."

Yang Ju took the Dan Yuan Dan and said, "Master, please rest assured that my subordinates will definitely live up to the expectations of the master."

"Master, this is a collateral-clearing pill. It should be of some use to your injuries. You can take it first." He pushed a small jade bottle in front of Yang Yun and said, "Everyone is responsible for the past matters.

It’s time to open up the knot in your heart.”

Yang Yun was silent for a while, then took the jade bottle and said in a low voice: "Okay."

"Autumn is here." The summer heat has not completely dissipated, and the power of the autumn tiger cannot be underestimated. It is not yet time to use troops.

"The time to use troops has not yet come, but Master, you should take action in advance." Fengyun Shang looked at Yang Yun and said, "First divide them, so that we can better swallow them."

Yang Yun frowned and said, "Master, I'm afraid there will be some difficulties in this matter."

Fengyun Shang was stunned for a moment. Seeing his appearance, Yang Ju guessed that he had not seen today's intelligence, so he said: "Master, according to the intelligence sent today, all the bandits have abandoned their villages.

, began to transfer."

Fengyun Shang quickly picked up an envelope on the table, tore it open and read the contents. He leaned on his chair, sighed and said, "It seems that these guys are united by someone."

According to the speculations of several heads of the intelligence system, all the bandits moved to the same destination. Currently, all the surviving bandit villages are moving towards the demarcated boundaries between Chuqi Village and Dongyu Village.

"Being able to unite all the bandits, it seems that this person's plan took more than a day or two." Feng Yun Shang asked someone to find a map, spread it out on the table, roughly drew the route of the bandits, and said: "

If these bandits get to the boundary we have set with Chuqi Village, it will be difficult to deal with it."

"First go and send a letter to Master Chu Qi to test his thoughts." Fengyun Shang raised his head and said: "Secondly, Master, I have handed over the intelligence system to you. You have arbitrary power in all matters. You must do the utmost.

Spread rumors to a certain extent. Even if this alliance cannot be broken up, a nail must be driven hard between them."

Yang Yun accepted the order.

"Looking at the current situation, there are two possibilities. One is that other villages have intervened, and this village must be at the level of Mangdang Three Hundred Villages, otherwise it would not be able to achieve such an effect."

"The second possibility is Chu Qizhai. However, the situation in Chu Qizhai is complicated and it is impossible to determine who did it."

The reply from Master Chu Qi came very quickly, and it cannot be said to be a reply, because based on time, Fengyun Shang's letter to Master Chu Qi should still be flying in the sky by now.

"Master, there is a letter from Master Chu Qi." A leader of the intelligence system said to Fengyun Shang while holding the bamboo tube that had just been taken off the pigeon's leg.

Fengyun Shang took the bamboo tube and poured out the contents. There was only one sentence written on it, "It's not me, do you?"

Fengyun Shang put the note on the table, found something to hold down the four corners of the note, and thought about it carefully. After a long time, he said: "This matter should not be done by Master Chu Qi."

Feng Qiyang stepped forward and took a look, then said: "Judging from the handwriting, it is indeed a letter written by Master Chu Qi. It is no different from the past."

Fengyun Shang pressed his finger on the connecting place between 'Fei' and 'I' and said: "This place will not be connected according to the habits of Chu Qi. But this time it happened to be connected together, which shows that he

I’m anxious.”

As the current sworn enemy of Dongyu Village, some of the habits of Master Chu Qi have long been understood, including his handwriting. Even Feng Qiyang and Yang Yun were able to imitate the handwriting of Master Chu Qi.

"Starting a war with us now is not in the interest of the Chu Qi family and the family behind him, so it should not be them." Fengyun Shang said in a positive tone. The binding of interests is the most unstable and the most reliable.

"As for the other villages in Sanbai Village, the possibility is not very high. After the battle between us and Chu Qi Village is over, they will come to take advantage, but now they will not break the unspoken rules."

"So, there is only one person left." Fengyun Shang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "It can only be Chu Qisi who is in charge. I heard that the old guy was sick last winter, why didn't he die of the disease?"

After complaining casually, Fengyun Shang frowned again. Complaining can't solve the problem, so just one sentence is enough. The remaining time should be used to think of ways to solve the problem.

"Master, I'm afraid the unspoken rules are not so strong. Even the national laws are violated by many people, and the emperor's disaster relief food is embezzled by many people. As long as the benefits are sufficient, the rules are not taken seriously by them at all." Huo

Eleven weakly put forward his opinion, thinking it might be of some use.

Fengyun Shang glanced at him and said: "Not bad, it seems that he has used his brain." After praising him, he added: "But it's still not enough. He is short-sighted."

"The so-called unspoken rules are actually the interests of everyone in a circle. Anyone who breaks the unspoken rules will cause damage to everyone's interests, so those who break the unspoken rules will be public enemies." Fengyun Shang explained to Huo Shiyi with a smile:

"Just letting the conflict between us and Chu Qizhai break out in advance will not bring them enough benefits to cause them to commit public outrage."

"Then, Mr. Chu, do you need to send a letter to Mr. Chu Qi to explain?" Huo Shiyi asked again.

"No need, we can guess this, and so can Master Chu Qi." Fengyun Shang shook his head and said: "However, this is a conspiracy. Even if we know that his goal is to provoke a conflict between us,

I had to step on it."

The bandits who gathered together were a huge piece of cake for both Chu Qi Village and Dongyu Village. Neither Fengyun Shang nor Chu Qi's master would give up this piece of cake easily, so they were bound to have a conflict.

"But it doesn't matter. Our conflict has been brought forward, and Master Chu Qisi's death has also been brought forward." Fengyun Shang's eyes flashed with cold light, and his murderous intention towards Master Chu Qisi became much stronger.

Sure enough, the next day, I received another reply from the head of Chu Qi. It did not mention the bandits gathering at the border of the two villages, but only asked Fengyun Shang to kill the fourth head of Chu Qi as soon as possible in accordance with the agreement.

"Husband, maybe we can stop them before they reach the border? There's no need to be so worried." Although he knew that this possibility was very small, but seeing that Feng Yun Shang was still frowning, Jiang Ruxue stepped forward to comfort him.

Fengyun Shang frowned and said, "It's difficult. If you can stop one or two, it's pretty good."

On the day he received the news, Fengyun Shang sent out all 30 brigades in the village without carrying any baggage, and ran wildly to intercept the bandits who were gathering at the border.

Today, in Dongyu Village, only the five heads of Fengyun Shang and Yang Yun are left behind. The others are women and children with little fighting ability.

"You are the head of Dongyu Village, how can you be so gloomy?" Jiang Ruxue stretched out her slender hand, stretched Feng Yunshang's brows, and said with a smile: "Smile."

Fengyun Shang was stunned for a moment, picked up Jiang Ruxue, spun her around, kissed her on the face, and said, "Thank you." Jiang Ruxue leaned on his shoulder with happiness.

Fengyun Shang has indeed lost his composure these past two days, with a sad look on his face.

Since arriving at Mangdang Mountain, everything has been carried out according to Fengyun Shang's plan. At most, there are only some minor differences, which are harmless.

This was the first time that the entire situation was beyond Fengyun Shang's control, and Fengyun Shang, who had always had smooth sailing, was hit hard.

The sad look on Fengyun Shang's face inevitably left an impression on his subordinates that the master had no solution for this matter, and it was also a huge blow to the morale of Dongyu Village.

After adjusting his mentality, Fengyun Shang suddenly felt that this matter was not so bad. The battle with Chu Qizhai must not end in autumn, and the possibility of winter is very high.

Winter is not a suitable time to use troops. The severe cold weather will increase the consumption of supplies, and the severe cold itself is a very powerful enemy.

At that time, Dongyu Village only needs to shrink down and try to digest Chuqi Village in the winter, so that it will not be afraid of others taking advantage. If there is a heavy snow, it will be even safer.

"Qi Yang, inform the centurions that if we can't catch up before noon tomorrow, forget it and let them all come back."

According to the estimated distance, several villages should be gathered together as early as tomorrow night. It is not very realistic to defeat them and bring them back. After all, in this pursuit, the thirty brigades were carried out separately and did not gather in one place.

.

After releasing the homing pigeons, Fengyun Shang looked at the map again and said to Feng Qiyang: "When they all come back, I will personally lead the troops to go on an expedition, and you will lead five brigades to guard the home."

"All the cavalry in the village will be left with you. If necessary, you will have to lead a raid with the cavalry." Feng Yun Shang said with a smile, "Don't let your guard down then."
