By noon, Zheng Qingchuan was woken up by a noise.She didn't wake up Ah Qing and Ah Yun, rubbed her eyes, got out of bed softly, and went outside.I saw that the farmers were stepping on the wooden ladder, pasting the wet mud mixed with broken grass to the wall, increasing the height of the wall, and inserting sharp bamboo arrows on the wet mud, the bamboo arrows were inclined at 45 degrees, and the arrows were pointing outward, apparently to deal with the sneak attack of the wild wolves.Zheng Qingchuan looked at it for a while, and then slowly walked to the door of the Taoist temple, and saw that some people were dragging the newly cut down trees into the Taoist temple, and Su Mu and Master Du were looking at the bottom of the mountain side by side.Zheng Qingchuan walked to Su Mu's side and asked, "Are you planning to close the door and not come out?"
Su Mu replied: "Well, find more firewood, so as not to have enough firewood in the Taoist temple."
There is a living spring in the Taoist temple, and there is no fear of water shortage. ”He turned around, raised his right hand, touched the top of Zheng Qingchuan's head, and asked: "Have you slept enough" Zheng Qingchuan took his hand and said: "Is there something wrong with the mountain when you are full" Master Du's dark circles were too thick, as if he was smoky makeup, and interjected: "Yesterday we interrogated those soldiers, hey, they said that the people in the other temples were all taken down the mountain, and the men were all forced to be strong men in the war, and the women and children were responsible for boiling water, cooking, sewing clothes, and being similar to the captives" Thinking of the meat in the mouths of those soldiers yesterday, he sighed again and again.Although he arrested them, such a miserable end was not his intention.But the son didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of it, and Master Du felt guilty and uncomfortable in his heart."
I'm afraid, I'm afraid that those people want to be the emperor of the soil in Shandong" Zheng Qingchuan shuddered when she heard that the common people who lived in seclusion in the mountains like her were taken as prisoners.If Master Du and Su Mu hadn't caught all the soldiers who went up the mountain yesterday, then he and Su Mu would have become captives today.What is a captive, that is, a slave, standing in the noon sun, she was like being in an ice cellar, with large goosebumps on both arms, trembling, and said in disappointment: "Why doesn't the capital send chasing soldiers to come, don't you want a place like Shandong with rich land?"
How can there be such a stupid emperor, it is incredible, it is really angry and annoying Su Mu clenched Zheng Qingchuan's hand and said: "Through the rebellion under the mountain, I can't hear the news of the capital."
I've seen the emperor before, and that's not a fool.If it weren't for the fact that there were bigger enemies to deal with, the imperial court would not tolerate others openly raising the banner of opposing the tyrant, unless the imperial army's army was overstretched, and it didn't take these remnants of Shandong in its eyes, so it wouldn't clean it up for the time being, and when it was done dealing with the big troubles, it would clean up the small troubles. ”Zheng Qingchuan objected: "Where is this little trouble" If there are hundreds of remnants under the mountain coming up the mountain, the Su family will become captives, this is almost imminent danger, just like a person hanging on a cliff, about to fall Su Mu's face was not flustered, staring intently at the bottom of the mountain, and said: "It may be that the enemy country takes the opportunity to invade the border, that is a bigger trouble." ”If the army of the imperial court really went to war with the army of the enemy country, then how long will it take to fight Zheng Qingchuan was full of frustration.At the beginning, in order to avoid the disaster of the battle for the throne, the old lady Hong let the younger generations come to Mount Tai in advance to avoid the disaster, but now it is like lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, if he is caught as a prisoner, where is it better than being afraid in the capital?
Zheng Qingchuan sighed: "At this time, except for self-help, there is no second way, waiting for rescuers, I can't afford to wait" Luck can kill people, so it's better not to be too lucky."
She asked: "Su Mu, does anyone in the Taoist temple make firecrackers?"
Probably, gunpowder is the most powerful weapon, which can not only deal with rebels, but also scare away wild beasts.After her words were asked, Su Mu did not answer abnormally, only to see him frowning and staring at the bottom of the mountain.Zheng Qingchuan also followed his gaze and muttered: "There is a flag moving, and there are remnants of soldiers coming up the mountain" Su Mu responded quickly: "Those eleven people didn't raise the flag yesterday, and they usually only raise the flag when there are many people." ”Master Du's tone was nervous: "Dealing with more than a dozen people, we can win against more than thirty people, they have big knives in their hands, even if we win, we will definitely be injured If fifty people come up the mountain, young master, then we will not be sure of winning If the enemy is hundreds, hey I don't want to say it" The implication is that he can't save his life After a while, Su Mu's eyes saw more clearly, his eyes were as deep as night, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid there are more than a hundred people" The flag was embroidered with thread: The person who is climbing the mountain to defeat the tyrant is the rebels, More and more people appeared, and Su Mu's mind quickly flashed countermeasures: pushing the boulder down can prevent more than a dozen enemies from shooting arrows, but unfortunately the other party has a shield tied to the arrow with a torch, which can burn more than a dozen enemies.If there is really no way, you can only burn the wall of fire, let the flames surround the Taoist temple, and prevent the enemy from approaching, but if this method is not good, it is self-destruction, if the Taoist temple is on fire, everything is over, and there is no magic plan At this time, the women and children in the Taoist temple closed the door in a panic and hid, and the men all found out the enemy's situation, looking at the mountain, with a sad face, a face like earth, and a big stone falling in their hearts.What else can be done, everyone is panicking and breaking thoughts.Li Zheng suddenly said: "Let's surrender, at least save one life" Master Du retorted angrily: "No" Li Zheng was full of anger: "There are hundreds of them, where can we fight" Su Mu said: "If you surrender, men will be forced to be rebellious ministers and thieves, and if they surrender, women and children will become prisoners."
You saw that the words written on their flags were not as good as yesterday, and we interrogated the eleven people, did everyone hear what they said" The servants of the Su family and the Hong family naturally did not dare to oppose Su Mu's words, and the local farmers obviously had a disagreement.Li is too bold because he is old, but there is no shortage of courage among the croppers.The bold farmer roared loudly: "If you die, Lao Tzu's wife and children will never be prisoners" I have never eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run As soon as I mentioned the captive, most of the people's hearts hardened, and the men puffed up their chests and red eyes, understanding that the enemy does not treat people as human beings when dealing with captives, and if they want to kill, they can be bullied if they want to be bullied, and suddenly someone had a whim, and suddenly shouted: "Didn't the wild wolf bite those eleven villains to death yesterday, let's find a way to attract the wolves and deal with those hundreds of villains" Su Mu was stunned for a moment, only to find out that the person who said this was Zheng Qingchuan.She was already in tears, frightened and weeping, and continued: "There is no second way to go, if we flee to the mountains now, without a house to live in, sooner or later we will be eaten by wolves" Everyone listened to this and looked at each other.This approach is a bit whimsical.The beast is everyone's enemy, and the rebels are also everyone's enemies, let the beast deal with the rebels, will the beast be obedient and obedient, what a joke, but everyone really couldn't laugh at this time, but became more and more sad, Su Mu and Master Du glanced at each other, and at a glance, they were sure that both of them agreed to this plan.Su Mu said categorically: "There are live chickens, ducks and geese in the Taoist temple, and in addition, the bag of blood and soil buried today was also taken out, and the chickens, ducks and geese were disemboweled, and thrown on the mountain roads around the Taoist temple.I hope that the fishy smell can attract the beasts, and it is not too late to do it, "A quarter of an hour later, the Taoist temple was surrounded by bloody raw poultry meat, and at most in front of the door, Master Du led people to water the chickens, ducks and geese, the sun was basking on the earth, and the evaporated air was getting more and more fishy, closing the door of the Taoist temple, some people were guarding the small hole and peeping, some people pricked up their ears to listen to the movement, only to hear the footsteps of the rebels getting closer and closer, and the sharp sound of knives and knives colliding together, and the sound of reckless men cursing foul language, the rebels were obviously complaining about the hot sun today, After climbing the mountain road for a few hours, the crops in the Taoist temple gate were so anxious that their hearts beat like drums, and they closed their eyes and muttered: "Heavenly spirits, earth spirits, beasts come quickly" However, after a quarter of an hour, the beasts did not come, the rebels came first, the sound of "knock knock" on the door, the sound of "bang bang" knocking on the door, the sound of "dangdangdang" kicking the door, and the sound of "ding ding ding" big knife cutting on the door were mixed: "Grandma, a bear open the door quickly, the fairy board inside the board are all dead people, quickly open the door, kneel down and kowtow a few heads, Spare your life, if you provoke Lao Tzu, "The outsiders laughed, scolded loudly, and the people inside the door were so frightened that they didn't dare to break out in a cold sweat, and they didn't use the plane to transport dry ice for artificial rain, and it was already raining automatically on everyone's bodies, and this trembling mood was probably a sentence: Lao Tzu was dead, Zheng Qingchuan also thought: How to attract wild beasts, doesn't work, is my little life going to whine at such a young age At this time, death is not terrible, I am afraid that death is too ugly and undignified, listening to the shouts and scolding of those reckless rebels outside, The women and children in the Taoist temple were so frightened that they cried.The people outside were not in a hurry, haha laughed: "There are so many women in the fairy board" The laughter was full of ill intentions and treacherous The cry inside the door was even louder Su Mu frowned, holding a Qi Mei stick in his hand, Zheng Qingchuan also held this in his hand, and there was a dagger tied to the Qi Mei stick, Ah Qing and A Yun were the same as Zheng Qingchuan, wearing men's clothes, holding a Qi Mei stick, crying with tears on their faces, they were so scared that they were the most afraid in their lives, although everyone was crying a lot, But they all held weapons in their hands, some with hoes, some with kitchen knives, and some with bows and arrows, only Li Zheng still had the intention of surrendering, refusing to pick up weapons, still smoking dry tobacco, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, a face like charred soil, wrinkles on the face were horizontal and vertical, and bitterness was written.The people inside the door were about to despair, and suddenly there was a scream of "ahhhhh
