Chapter 2496 Encountering Soldiers
"Brother Fang, are you okay, but are you too tired?" Lin Laoba hurriedly came over to support Fang Tiangui, untied the bamboo tube, and handed it to Fang Tiangui: "Drink some salt water to build up some strength."
Fang Tiangui was still confused. After hearing this, he took the bamboo tube and drank a few mouthfuls of ice salt water before he regained consciousness.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Sister-in-law Fang came over with Xiao Wei and squatted aside, looking at him worriedly with tears in her eyes.
Fang Tiangui said hurriedly: "I'm fine. I just didn't sleep well last night and I was on the road so early in the morning that I felt a little exhausted."
Sister-in-law Fang didn't believe it and wanted to ask a few questions in detail, but Fang Tiangui waved her off and interrupted: "Let's go on our way first. We can't hinder everyone's schedule."
"Fang Yamen, how are you? Can you still leave?" Erdan dad came with three people, one was Wei Xiucai from Fucheng, and the other was the old man and the rich young master from the rich family of Fucheng restaurant.
This time, only the grandfather and grandson were left in the rich family. For the safety of his grandson, the rich man decided to move to Long'an Mansion in the northwest and join his old sister.
Fang Tiangui said: "I can leave, I'm really sorry for making you worry."
Erdan Daddy: "It's good if you can leave."
The rich old man said: "My family has a trolley, why don't the yamen servants get on the trolley and ride for a while."
The mule was smashed to death, leaving only a carriage, which could be pulled by the servants of the family so that he could sit on it and save himself some hardship.
Fang Tiangui refused: "No, just three carts. Let the elderly and children sit on them. I can go."
"Okay, let's go then." Mr. Fu said, and the group started on their way again.
The further they walked, the more chilled they became. The soldiers were right. The earthquake was so big that all the houses within a hundred miles had almost collapsed. They also encountered several cracks on the road, the largest of which was as big as a slap. Wide, it looks scary.
The rich old man said to the big guys: "It's okay, this area is only affected by the disaster. It will be fine when we go to the next city. Then my family will go to the carriage and horse shop to rent a car so that everyone can sit in the car without having to use their feet." On our way."
The rich family is quite rich, and they still have enough money to rent cars for everyone, and he said this because he wanted to let everyone know the importance of his family and not to abandon his family at the critical moment.
Erdan Daddy cupped his fists towards the rich old man and said with a smile: "Then we will thank you in advance!"
The rich old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you for nothing. We are neighbors and we should help each other."
They were talking happily, but Fang Tiangui was worried.
Lin Laoba saw this and was very worried. Finally, when he was sleeping outdoors in the evening, he found an opportunity to ask Fang Tiangui: "Brother Fang, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about what happened last night?"
Fang Tiangui thought that Lin Lao Ba had always been strict with his words and that they had discovered what happened last night together. He hesitated for a while and told Lin Lao Ba what he had figured out: "Listen to the old man talking about ancient times, and the heroes of the past dynasties thought of soldiers and soldiers. When the emperor fights, he will usually use something with strange power and chaos. That's what those people were doing last night... The scene collapses and the hero emerges, which means that the great Chu is about to end and Xiong Yue is about to rise."
"Xiong Yue is the commander of the Zhongzhou capital. When we left this morning, the soldiers said that the soldiers from Zhongzhou were coming to help us. I'm afraid they have already arrived. It should be Xiong Yue who buried the body of the prefect last night. He sent someone to do it... General Meng has probably taken refuge with him. I'm afraid something big is going to happen in Zhongzhou, the Central Plains, and the south~"
At the end of the sentence, Fang Tiangui trembled with fear... Once Xiong Yue raised his troops, he would definitely not only occupy Zhongzhou, but also capture the Central Plains, use the Central Plains to withstand the troops of the Marquis of Qin, and then capture the south to use as his money and food bag , and then take the capital.
Lin Laoba was half-understood, but he was not stupid. After thinking for a while, he came to his senses and said in surprise: "Brother Fang means that Xiong Yue wants to attack the Central Plains and the south?"
Fang Tiangui nodded: "Well, that should be the case. If he only captures Zhongzhou, Xiong Yue will be seeking death. Soldiers and horses from the Central Plains, the South, and Zhili will directly surround him and kill him in Zhongzhou. If he wants to succeed, he must take the opportunity. Occupy the Central Plains and the south as soon as possible."
Lin Laoba said: "Then should we report this matter nearby?"
Lin Laoba thought this was a bad thing, so he thought he should report it.
Fang Tiangui sighed: "How to report? This is still the border of Zhongzhou. If he dares to do this, he must have gathered the guards of all the cities in Zhongzhou. If we report the news nearby, we will be asking for death."
Lin Laoba was so frightened: "What should we do? We can't let him do evil and harm the people, right?"
Once a war breaks out, the people will suffer.
Fang Tiangui said: "We are still in the border of Zhongzhou. For the sake of safety, we can only hide this matter and wait until we get to the Central Plains. If the commander of the Central Plains has not colluded with Xiong Yue, we will report him again, otherwise we will have to flee to Let’s talk about the northwest.”
Lin Laoba thought it made sense and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, we'd better get to the northwest first. It's too dangerous here."
"Don't tell other people about this. Keep it a secret for now." Fang Tiangui confessed and then said, "Go back quickly. If we stay out for too long, people will become suspicious."
"Hey." Lin Laoba responded, and the two came back with two bundles of firewood.
It was the first day of traveling today, and everyone was quite tired. After heating the dry food over the fire and eating, they began to allocate manpower to keep watch, while most of the others went to bed immediately.
Early the next morning, I got up and continued on my way.
But Lin Laoba had something hidden in his heart, and his birthday lady found out about it. She found an opportunity that day and pulled him in for questioning quietly.
Lin Laoba listened to the birthday girl very much and really wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Moreover, the birthday girl was smarter than him. If he told her the matter, he might have a good countermeasure, so he told her the matter and said: "Brother Fang said Don’t tell others, you have to hide it from your wife, but don’t tell anyone.”
The birthday lady ignored his words, but dragged him and said, "Let's go find Brother Fang. We can't go on this avenue anymore. We have to take a small road to the northwest."
Lin Laoba: "Why?"
Shou Niang said: "If it is as Brother Fang guessed, a large number of troops will rush to the Central Plains in the past few days to negotiate with the general in the Central Plains. If they meet us on the road, they may kill us in order to keep it secret. ”
"Ah? Will this happen again?!" Lin Laoba was frightened.
The birthday girl nodded: "I want to pursue a great cause, so I won't care about our life and death. Killing is the safest way."
Lin Laoba: "Okay, I'm going to call Brother Fang here. Wife, don't go. Go back first and make a fire to boil water and roast dry food."
"Okay." The birthday girl agreed, and the couple hurriedly went to find Fang Tiangui. If others saw it, they would guess that something big had happened, so it was better to let the husband go to Fang Tiangui alone first.
Lin Laoba quickly found Fang Tiangui and told him about the matter.
After hearing this, Fang Tiangui had no time to blame Lin Laoba for telling the birthday lady. He immediately pulled him to find Mr. Fu, Erdan Daddy and Wei Xiucai, and said, "This place is close to the road and is not very safe. We'd better camp here." Move to the woods.”
