Chapter 1529 Join Forces
"The previous emperor burned it." Gu Jinli frowned: "It seems that the Rong people found the construction map of Beicang Mansion left by the previous dynasty, or they found the descendants of the great craftsmen."
Qin Sanlang nodded and agreed with Gu Jinli's statement: "I just don't know how far they have dug now? It is not an easy task to dig through the tunnel. The ground must be dug deep enough and long enough."
The defense of the city wall includes both above ground and underground. In addition to mechanisms, the underground defense also has many obstacles. There are also various traps buried under the moat dug around the city. If the tunnel you dig is not deep enough and you encounter a trap, the water in the moat will drop sharply, and the soldiers guarding the city will know that something is going on underground.
In short, digging tunnels is a big project. After you have a map for building a city, you still have to have a lot of manpower to dig and dispose of the excavated soil and stones.
However, with the number of servants in the Yang family charcoal workshop, it is still possible to dig a tunnel.
It is now the cold season of winter and spring, and the Yang family charcoal workshop has mule carts delivering goods out of the city almost every day. It is unknown whether those mule carts contain charcoal or excavated soil and stones.
The Yang family has a good relationship with Laotongpian. The Yang family's goods will not be inspected when leaving the city. Even if soil and gravel are found, no one will try to dig through the city wall.
Those who have such thoughts are currently just Xiaoyu, because she dug in He'an Mansion.
Qin Sanlang let go of her and sat on the sofa beside him, thinking about something.
Gu Jinli did not disturb him, but poured a bowl of hot water from the stove nearby, hoping to wait for him to regain his consciousness before giving it to him to drink.
But he had been silent for a long time, and his posture was still motionless. She stared at his sharp profile and said secretly: Young man, have you become a statue?
Will there be any reaction if you poke it?
Gu Jinli raised his hand and poked his face gently... Qin Sanlang looked back at her, with a smile on his cold face: "I'm not asleep, I know everything you do."
Gu Jinli smiled: "Then have you thought of a way?"
Qin Sanlang nodded: "We have already taken risks once, we cannot take risks again, otherwise the Rong witch army will not let us go again, and we must find someone to join forces to deal with the Rong witch army."
He added: "This person must be powerful, have the ability to fight against the Rongren witch army, and be able to trust us without reason."
In the eyes of others, he was just a poor soldier from the south, a man who relied on his wife's dowry to support the army. The people in the government office were afraid of death, and the people in the garrison camp outside the city were even more afraid of death, and looked down upon them from the south. The soldiers are coming.
It would be a dream to ask them to help deal with the Rong witch army.
The people from the government office and the garrison camp would only come out to grab the credit when the Rongren witch army was completely captured.
Gu Jinli was startled: "Are you looking for help from the Eagle Food Gang?"
He knew everything about her, so he would also tell her about his own affairs. After returning from Bailang Mountain, he told her about the Eagle Food Gang.
Said it might be an old friend.
Qin Sanlang nodded: "Well, now only the Eagle Food Gang has the strength to help us."
Gu Jinli: "But will he help? Don't you mean that you have completely offended Da Chu by working for him? If he sees you, he will be so angry that he will kill you."
Lord Ying of the Rongshan Gang knows how to be a bandit and leads the people of the Yingshi Gang against the imperial court because he hates Emperor Chu. Brother Qin’s family was killed by Emperor Chu, but Brother Qin became a great leader of Chu Bai. Hu, if you come to fight for Da Chu, that man must be very angry.
Qin Sanlang smiled: "Our two families are family friends and relatives, and Brother Luo and his second brother grew up together. Brother Luo has treated me as his own brother since he was a child. Even if he is angry, in the face of such a big thing, he will Will help too."
The worst case scenario is that after you finish helping him, you can pick up the knife and chop him down.
Gu Jinli said: "As long as you are willing to help, you just have to think of a safe way to notify them, otherwise you will be targeted by the army again."
Qin Sanlang smiled, took the water from her hand, drank a few sips, and said: "Someone from the Eagle Food Gang is in the city. It's not difficult to notify them. Just ask someone to say a few derogatory words."
They have a grudge against the Eagle Food Gang, so they have to take advantage of this.
Gu Jinli felt relieved when he saw that he had thought of a way: "When you think about it, send someone to do it, and I will cook for you."
Qin Sanlang grabbed her and said, "Just let Erqing and the others do it. Your hands are not used for cooking."
She has suffered a lot, and he doesn't want her to do these things about the stove and pot.
Gu Jinli smiled: "I'm just going to mix the sauce. I won't do too much work. I'm so lazy. It's not my nature to work more."
"Xiaoyu is not lazy, he is very diligent." Qin Sanlang said it sincerely. He always felt that Xiaoyu was very diligent. After he had servants, he did a lot of the work with his own hands.
Gu Jinli couldn't stop laughing: "You think I'm diligent, but Grandpa Wu and Third Grandma say I'm lazy every day, and they say I'm delicious and not frugal."
"Where I am, Xiaoyu is the best." Qin Sanlang said sternly: "I already cooked yesterday. Don't touch the cold water today. Just rest in the room. I'll be back soon."
"Okay." Gu Jinli didn't feel embarrassed at all. He lay down on the soft bed, tilted his body, assuming the posture of a landowner, and said, "It's actually very cool to still have food to eat without doing anything."
Qin Sanlang laughed when he heard this, leaned over to kiss her, and said, "Then Xiaoyu just lies down, waiting for me to come back."
Gu Jinli blushed when he said this.
However, Qin Sanlang said: "Xiaoyu is overthinking, I didn't mean that."
Gu Jinli was stunned for a moment, then became angry when he came to his senses. Just as he was about to bite him, Qin Sanlang had already ducked to the door of the house, looked at her and said, "You can bite him again when I come back."
In an instant, Gu Jinli's face was burning hot. She grabbed the tea bowl and was about to smash it at him, but the tea bowl also cost money. She would lose money if she smashed it, so she held back.
Qin Sanlang laughed out loud when he saw this. He looked at her for a while, and after being glared at by her, he opened the door and left.
Qin Sanlang came back half an hour after leaving. He didn't go anywhere that night.
But that night, the people from the Eagle Food Gang in the city were furious: "Damn, who's ancestor's grave was dug up and dared to say that to our Lord Ying? Are you not afraid that the Eagle Food Gang will chop up his whole family?!"
There is a curfew in Beicang Mansion, but there are many ruthless people in Beicang Mansion, so no one follows this rule. The patrols are also afraid of these ruthless people, so they let them run wild at night and dare not control them at all.
Therefore, Beicangfu Fucheng is very lively at night.
But tonight there was a rumor in the Beauty Building, saying that the gangsters of the Eagle Food Gang were all weaklings, and they couldn't even defeat a group of weak soldiers from the south. Those men from Bailang County, Yongtai Mansion, including Beicang The men on the government's side were all wiped out by those weak soldiers.
"The women in charge of the soldiers also said that the spies of the Eagle Food Gang were worse than chicken cubs. One of their women subdued the three spies with bare hands and beat them until their own mothers didn't even recognize them. The three Eagle Food Gang In order to survive, the spies knelt down and shouted that the boss of the Eagle Food Gang, Lord Ying, was an eunuch!"
Is Master Ying a eunuch?
Damn it, you dare to spread rumors about Lord Ying. Do you think Chinese New Year is boring and want your whole family to celebrate Qingming Festival in advance? !
…
When Master Gui heard the report from the secret whistle, he had a headache: Little Marquis, you don't have to be so cruel. You know Master Ying's temper but you still say this. Do you want to piss Master Ying off to death?
