Chapter 148 A strong enemy is nearby

After Village Chief Chen and others left, Yang Wei and his team closed the gate. Then, according to the routine formed in the past few days, they began to allocate housing for tonight, and then assigned people to make fires and cook, boil water for washing and take care of horses. All matters were carried out in an orderly manner.

Xiao Wu from Yang Wei's escort agency got into a carriage and took out a large piece of pork from a vat inside to thaw it. The pork weighed 20 kilograms. He also took some dried black fungus, dried bamboo shoots, etc. to soak, took a few cabbages, and cut seven or eight large radishes and started to chop stuffing.

The rest of the people were busy, and the house in the middle of the yard was cleaned up the fastest.

Lu Songli, Yang Wei, Xu Zheng and the three brothers of the Qin family were present.

Xu Zheng frowned and said, "This Qinglong Village is indeed a trouble."

Yes, they knew about Qinglong Village before entering the village.

After Zhou Da took half of the people to the north to support Qin Yan, the remaining half was led by deputy team leader Hu Guangcong. They are all cavalrymen, good at horse riding. If they are just bodyguards, like Yang Wei's escort agency, it would be a waste. So after discussing with the three brothers of the Qin family, Lu Songli decided to use them as scouts to improve their perception of danger.

The effect was immediate. Apart from other things, they had inquired about Qinglong Village two days ago and had already mastered a lot of relevant information.

Qin Heng pointed out, "Cangshan is too big. No matter which route we take, we can't avoid Qinglong Village."

"Since we can't avoid it, we have to face it directly." Lu Songli set the tone and attitude towards Qinglong Village with one sentence.

And she felt that they were exposed as soon as they entered Qingxi Village. Other villages dare not say, but Qingxi Village and Hegu Village are the two ends of Qinglong Village's hunting range, and they must have their spies.

They have so many carriages, and the carriages are loaded with so many supplies. In the eyes of Qinglong Village, they are a fat sheep.

Yang Wei sighed that it was a misstep. He knew it would be like this. But it is also because of carrying such rich supplies that they can live so comfortably along the way. Since they have enjoyed the benefits brought by rich supplies, they cannot despise the disadvantages it brings.

Lu Songli has always been the one who solves problems when encountering them. There is nothing to say.

The other side's mountain stronghold has more than 200 young and strong men. Even if they appear to be a hard bone, the other side will want to gnaw on it because the meat hanging on it is too attractive.

With a little planning, it can be passed, but there will definitely be casualties. This is not her intention.

While they were busy, the escort boy came to report that someone was knocking on the door.

Several people looked at each other and decided to discuss it after dinner. If they were not there now, it would be easy to arouse suspicion.

The village chief's mother, Mrs. Chen, led a boy of seven or eight years old to thank them.

The boy looked stubborn and had a bit of unruly taste. He kept staring at the Qin brothers and those men in the army.

"You are good people. The heavy snow blocked the road and it's hard to walk. You should turn back and take another detour."

Lv Songli knew that she was reminding him of something in disguise. After Yang Wei thanked her for her kindness, he gave her two mixed buns.

At this time, Lv Mingzhi quietly found her and said to her, "Second sister, there will be heavy snow in the next two days. Let's stay in Qingxi Village for two days?"

Lv Songli nodded, "Okay, I know about this, I will arrange it."

In the wild on a snowy day, the road is not only difficult to walk, but also very dangerous.

During this period, whenever rainy and snowy weather was coming, Lv Mingzhi would tell them in advance, so that they could avoid a lot of trouble and save a lot of things.

Qin Heng privately praised him more than once for his good reading and useful reading.

Lv Songli told everyone about this, and then Yang Wei arranged for a few more people to bring ladders to the roof to sweep the snow off.

People who were free helped to make dumplings.

When Yang Wei and his friends were sweeping the snow, they happened to see Village Chief Chen leading people to sweep the snow on his roof, so they greeted him from a distance, "Village Chief Chen, are you sweeping the snow?"

Village Chief Chen nodded, "Yes, if the snow is not swept, it will easily damage the roof." They were already sweeping just now, but they stopped sweeping because these strangers came in and frightened the people in the village.

Yang Wei noticed that after they finished sweeping the village chief's house, they went to the next house, and it was still the same team. He immediately understood that these people planned to sweep the snow from house to house.

"Village Chief Chen, it's getting dark, why don't you arrange more people?"

Village Chief Chen smiled bitterly. These nobles from Chang'an Prefecture didn't know how difficult people's lives were. It's not that he didn't want to arrange more?

But cold-resistant clothes are so expensive and rare. In their Qingxi Village, every household can get two complete sets of winter clothes and winter pants. It's good enough.

The only or only two winter coats and trousers are usually worn by the person who has to go out to do things. The rest of the family stays on the bed when they have nothing to do, which is a little warmer.

It snowed heavily recently, and they had to sweep the snow every day, otherwise they were always worried that the roof would collapse. So he required that each household must send one person, preferably a young and flexible person, to take turns to sweep the snow.

After learning about the situation, Yang Wei took people to help Village Chief Chen. Anyway, the meal was not ready yet. While helping, he asked about the situation in Qinglong Village. Village Chief Chen did not hide it from him and told him everything he knew.

Mo Bing brought a lot of people and finally made thousands of dumplings, and then unpacked nearly 700 dumplings one after another. The remaining 300 dumplings will be sent to Hu Guangcong and others later.

During the meal, the Lu family siblings somehow squeezed together and sat next to each other.

"Second sister, this is good——" After shouting, Lu Mingzhi quickly covered his mouth.

It's exposed!

The officers paused holding the dumplings, and one of them even dropped the dumplings after hearing this. They wished they could plug their ears. Can they hear this?

Facing those vague glances, the officers dared not move, and they didn't know whether to eat the dumplings or not.

They had already seen that they looked similar, and they had tried their best to ignore it, and they almost wanted to be blind!

But every day, they refreshed their cognition. Today he actually shouted it out directly, what should they do?

Mom, this job is too difficult, too embarrassing. The officers shouted in their hearts.

Lu Songli was speechless, this stupid brother.

Lu Songli put down her chopsticks, and everyone else looked at her.

The officers were so nervous.

Lu Songli smiled at them soothingly, "Don't be nervous. Brothers, I believe you have figured out something over the past few days."

"We won't hide anything today. You heard me right. The one next to me is my brother Lu Mingzhi. The other two are Liu Erxi and Mo Bing. Yang Wei Escort Agency was hired by them to go to Pingzhou to do business. Since it's on the way, they took care of us."

Lu Songli felt that internal stability was very important at this moment. Sincerity is always a sure-fire skill. Now that there is such an accident, if you are not willing to tell the truth, how can you win the trust of the officers?

"I confessed this to everyone because I think, first of all, we are not enemies, we have a common goal - to arrive in Pingzhou safely, and we don't actually have any interests or conflicts with you, right? So I don't think there is any need for us to be on guard against each other or even fight each other."

"Besides, now that there is a strong enemy like Qinglongzhai by our side, I think we should be more united and friendly, and face the outside world in unison, what do you think?"

The officers looked at each other, then nodded, agreeing with her words. What she meant by this was that if you don't get in the way, there will be nothing wrong, because killing you will not benefit us at all. Now that there is a strong enemy by our side, if you don't listen and insist on doing something without unity, don't blame them for being rude.

"Mrs. Qin - Sixth Young Master, we understand."
