Chapter 50 Performance of Contract

"A fight is definitely going to happen."

Although Zhang Shi was only an Orion, his horizons increased as his status grew, and he heard and witnessed Ying Yi again. He didn't know more, but he knew that war was inevitable. He said: "If there is no war, Master Ying will also We won’t recruit so many soldiers and horses. Three thousand men with big bellies, how much food do you want to raise three thousand pigs?”

"It's just that we don't have any weapons or armor right now, and training has just begun. I'm afraid it will take a while for the battle to begin."

"Zhang Shi is right, but we have to wait a little longer."

Ying Yi's voice suddenly sounded behind several people, making them almost jump up in fright.

"grown ups!"

When I heard it was Ying Yi, I suddenly relaxed like a roller coaster.

Ying Yi lay down and asked, "How is the situation?"

Zhang Shi said quickly: "There is no movement."

Ying Yi nodded: "I'll touch it and have a look."

Before a few people could say anything, Ying Yi was like a shadow and smoke, already seven or eight feet away. Under the cover of darkness, Ying Yi quickly reached outside the woods and saw the patrolling soldiers yawning and walking past the woods, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

A thief is a thief, and there is almost no difference from the man who was once a tiger.

He easily avoided the eyes and ears of the thieves and sneaked into the woods. Going back and forth, I took a thorough look at the camp of bandits stationed in the woods.

Just as Zhang Shi had guessed, there were no less than 10,000 troops stationed here. There should be about twelve to three thousand. There are more than 2,000 horses alone, and although they vary from good to bad, there are both war horses and draft horses. But for Ying Yi, it is inevitable to be a little coveted.

After careful observation, Ying Yi discovered that the real old battalion may not have more than 3,000 people, stationed at the core of the camp. The rest are all ordinary thieves - their status is one level higher than that of the cannon fodder being held hostage. However, if there are no cannon fodder, these thieves will also have to serve as cannon fodder.

Ying Yi thought to himself: "It seems that the intruder is very interested in the two million taels of silver. He came very quickly and didn't even bring the cannon fodder. I don't know who the leading thief is..."

He quietly waited and looked for signs of the flag banner.

The core of a regular army cannot be learned by rogues, but the skin has learned it 100%. Such as flags and banners to indicate one's identity and promote prestige, these bandits also have them, and they do them in a very grand manner.

Don't think that bandits don't have flags and banners. Why did Hao Yaoqi have this name? It's because that guy initially supported the intruders. So he was called Hao Yaoqi.

Ying Yi watched for a moment and saw a row of flags and flags at the foot of the wall. In particular, the banner was very clear. Although it was covered by the night, Ying Yi could clearly see the words on the banner - Liu!

"The surname is Liu..."

Ying Yi couldn't help but frown.

He very much hoped that the leader of the thief who came back this time would be a tiger and Li Guo. But it was a man named Liu who came. Ying Yi didn't know much about the generals under the command of the intruder. Ying Yi didn't know who the man named Liu was, but he could lead more than 10,000 troops and horses without cannon fodder. He must have a high status under the command of the intruder. Low.

Looking at the quiet bandit camp, he couldn't help but feel a little eager to try, but he still held it back.

"That's all, now is not the time to take action. Let's let it go for now and wait until the time comes..."

He quietly exited the woods.

Zhang Shi and others looked eagerly at the bandit camp. It was not until Ying Yi appeared in front of them that they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Shi hesitated for a moment and wanted to persuade Ying Yi, but finally felt it was difficult to speak.

Ying Yi said: "There are twelve to three thousand bandits, more than two thousand horses, and a lot of food and supplies. The leader should be a bandit general named Liu. Zhang Shi, do you know any of the bandits who have a high status?" The thief general’s surname is Liu?”

How did Zhang Shi know?

He shook his head and said, "Sir, I don't know."

Ying Yi just asked, and after hearing the words, he didn't dwell on it, and said: "After daybreak, these troops and horses will definitely go south. You guys need to rest for a while to recuperate, and I will guard them at dawn."

When the sky turned white, the bandit camp began to make noise. But it wasn't until an hour later, when it was already dark, that we set off. The efficiency of a wandering thief is probably reflected in his escape. Other than that, there is no efficiency.

The bandits did not notice Ying Yi and others who were only two or three miles away. They quickly broke camp, kicked up billowing smoke, and headed south.

Ying Yi warned Zhang Shi again, asking them to be careful, and then returned to Xiaowangzhuang alone.

At this time, Xiaowangzhuang's soldiers and horses were already training in full swing.

He called Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun over and said: "The thieves have gone south, and there must be no danger near Ye County for the time being. I want to move all the supplies out of Ye County as soon as possible."

Immediately, he divided half of the trained soldiers, set up carriages and horses, and went to Ye County to transport supplies openly. Ying Yi still escorted him back and forth. As expected, not a single thief was seen during the whole day. More than 1,500 people acted together, and it was broad daylight, so the efficiency was much faster than at night. Just one day is worth the previous few days.

Zhou Li, who was following the team, was very happy: "In another three to five days, the county's supplies will be shipped."

Ying Yi nodded slightly: "The bandits have just gone south, and the Kaifeng bandits should not send any more people for the time being. Unless there are changes in the south, the area around Ye County must be stable in a short period of time. Three to five days is not a problem."

Seeing that it was getting dark, Ying Yi said: "After this trip, forget about it at night and transport food during the day. Tomorrow it will be Zhu Bingkun. You two will take turns to come, and the soldiers will take turns to train."

"Yes, sir."

Back at Xiaowangzhuang, Zhou Li and his people continued to transport supplies to Bibo Valley. Ying Yi told Zhu Bingkun to take care of his home, then picked up the woman surnamed Yuan and headed towards the county seat.

The ten-day time limit agreed with Yuan Tong was tomorrow. Now that the thieves from Kaifeng have arrived, Yuan Tong must be waiting at Liujiazhuang. Naturally, Ying Yi wanted to settle this matter.

The woman surnamed Yuan probably also thought about it. She was carried by Ying Yi like a chicken along the way, and she remained silent without saying a word.

When it was getting dark, Ying Yi arrived at Liujiazhuang.

Under the numb night, a figure stood at the entrance of the village, it was Yuan Tong.

"Miss!"

When Yuan Tong saw Ying Yi, his eyes suddenly fell on the woman named Yuan that Ying Yi was carrying, as if he was about to pounce on her.

Ying Yi stood still and said: "I'm here to fulfill my contract today. You have taken care of all my affairs for me. I am very satisfied. Your lady will be returned to you."

With a shake of his hand, he threw the woman named Yuan over: "But, within ten days, you two cannot leave my sight."

Yuan Tong helped the woman named Yuan up, and his eyes widened when he heard this: "Ying, what do you mean?! Do you want to regret it?!"

"Repent?" Ying Yi sneered: "If I want to regret it, I will kill you now. I won't even bring her here. I brought her here to show my sincerity."

Yuan Tong immediately stopped talking.

Ying Yi said calmly: "Let's go."

He turned and left.

Yuan Tong untied the rope from the woman surnamed Yuan, hesitated for a moment, and exchanged a look with the woman surnamed Yuan, both of them sighing. He supported his eldest daughter and followed slowly.
