Chapter 294: Invasion
When Su Qingyu left, she said lightly: "If you want to leave, pack your things and I'll have someone take you out immediately!"
Liang Chen choked, already thinking about this possibility in her mind. ReadМ
Liang Si saw Su Qingyu not stopping and shouted to her: "We are not leaving!"
Su Qingyu kept walking, turned to look at her, turned around and climbed up the mountain.
Liang Si kept staring at her back until he could no longer see her, then turned back to Mrs. Liang Chen: "Mom, can you not cause trouble? If you want to leave, you can leave, but I won't leave!"
"You kid! Haven't you heard that bandits have invaded the mountain?"
Mrs. Liang Chen wanted to curse, but saw her stern expression and stopped talking.
What can she do if her daughter doesn't leave?
Go by yourself?
She now has to rely on this daughter to support her.
Su Qingnao and Qingxing quickly climbed to the highest point of the mountain village.
The mountains were vast and repeated one after another. She could not see the scene outside the mountains, but she could see thick smoke burning high in many mountains. It seemed that the villages had received the message one after another.
Time was tight and it was impossible to notify each village one by one. We could only light beacon fire to warn.
Neighboring villages saw it and lit it one after another, so that each village could see each other and prepare in time.
Su Qingyu stood on the mountain for a long time, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw more and more places lighting up the smoke.
Just when she was about to go down the mountain towards the village gate, she found a group of people walking quickly towards Xingengzhai.
Su Qingyu was shocked.
"Sister!" Qingxing also saw it and grabbed her arm suddenly.
Su Qingyu patted her to comfort her.
After a quick look, I found that the men and horses seemed to be coming from the direction of the market town.
"Let's go down. Uncle Xin should have sent someone here."
The two sisters hurried down the mountain.
On the way down the mountain, she heard someone calling her in the distance: "Miss..."
"Sister, it's really the person sent by Uncle Xin." Qing Xing felt happy.
"Yeah." Su Qingyu was also relieved.
"Miss." Qi Liang greeted her.
Su Qingyu nodded: "Uncle Xin asked you to come?"
Taking stock of this team of more than twenty people. They were fully armed, holding swords and guns in their hands, and carrying bows and arrows on their backs.
Qi Liang nodded: "Yes, the leader asked us to come to support Xingengzhai and let us obey the order of the young lady."
"Very well, follow me to the gate of the village."
"yes."
Along the way, I asked him: "How is the situation over there in the market town? Are you busy?"
"The leader said that that side is the center of each village. If bandits enter the mountain, they will not go directly there. The other brothers are now going to notify the mountain people near the market town and ask them to gather in the market town. This facilitates centralized management.
Su Qingyu nodded while listening.
The group of people quickly arrived at the village gate and found that all the men in the village were there, including Su's father and Qingyang.
They also carried spears and bows and arrows in their hands and carried them on their backs.
Most of the men in Xingengzhai are ordinary people who escaped from the north and have no fighting ability.
Although Su Qingnao asked Ma Xin's people to help train him, he might be able to withstand the ordinary wild bandits, but if he encounters the regular army, he may not be able to do it.
Su Qingyu was a little worried.
Xingengzhai is close to the market town and can be regarded as the center of the joint villages, far away from the official roads outside.
Can't see what's going on outside.
Su Qingyu thought for a while and said to Qi Liang: "Select five people to help guard Xingengzhai, and the others will follow you towards the mountain pass."
"sister!"
"Qingxing, stay here."
"Dad is going with you, too." Su's father followed.
"Dad, you're here. I'm just going to check out the situation. It's okay."
Qi Liang quickly made the selection and said, "Miss, you can stay here too."
Su Qingyu shook her head: "I'm not worried." She wanted to go and see for herself.
Xiang Shang said: "Miss, it is more important to enter the mountain pass now. It is better to take more people there. I will go with you."
Su Qingyu thought for a while, nodded, and then ordered some more men to follow them to the mountain pass.
Father Su was about to speak but stopped.
He wanted to follow her, but his daughter told him to guard the gate of the village, and the whole family was still in the village.
Heaven and man were fighting, and in a blink of an eye, they found Qingyang and Qingxing following Qingyu quickly.
this……
Father Su only had time to stretch out his hand. Lifting his heart, he sighed.
Su Qingyu saw footsteps running towards her from behind. She turned around and saw the twins running towards her.
Worrying and relieved at the same time: "Follow sister closely and don't run around."
"Yes." The two children nodded heavily, feeling scared and excited at the same time.
Baijiazhai is the closest village to the mountain entrance.
Last summer was also the first village to be invaded by bandits. Last summer, rivers of blood flowed in the village, and many people died in the village.
Su Qingyu started to build defense fortifications in each village, and Baijiazhai was the first one.
The gate of the village is built high and thick, and half of the wall is made of bricks and stones. If it is attacked by force, it is not that easy to break through.
Su Qingyu did not enter the village, but went directly to the gate of the village.
There were many people gathered around the village gate, including men, women, old and young. The village leader Baizhong was assigning tasks, and the atmosphere was tense.
"The president is here!"
"Ms. Su!"
"Qinghuo!"
"What's going on?" Su Qingyu trotted up to the Zhong Village Master.
Seeing her arrival, the leader of Zhongzhai breathed a sigh of relief: "We have sent people to the mountain pass to inquire about the situation. News should come soon."
"Okay." Su Qing'an nodded. Seeing that not only the men in the village had gathered at the village gate, but also many women had come, all holding tools in their hands, she was very relieved.
"Go set up the big pot and boil water. Pick up some big stones for backup. Go cut some wood and bamboo, and let the carpenter lead everyone to make more arrows!"
Su Qing'an gave orders repeatedly.
"Yes, go and prepare!" The village leader Zhong turned around and ordered.
"Yes!"
Su Qing'an climbed up the wall of the village gate and looked forward...
No one was seen, and no sound was heard.
I was anxious.
Seeing that the suspension bridge had been pulled up, I thought for a while: "Put down the suspension bridge, I will take people out to see."
"Qing'an, no! I have sent people out to investigate." Qing'an can't be allowed to go. If something happens, these villages will be scattered.
"I'm worried about you standing here."
Unable to persuade her, the leader of Zhong Village ordered people to lower the suspension bridge, and Su Qing'an led Ma Xin's men and the men of Xingeng Village to the entrance to the mountain.
The leader of Zhong Village also ordered half of the men of Baijia Village to follow with arrows.
After arriving at Baijia Village, Su Qing'an ordered people to plant thorns at the original entrance to the mountain, which had merged with the mountain. There was a road there, but now it is completely invisible.
It is not easy to find the entrance to the mountain and sneak into the village in the vast Daqing Mountain.
Unless there is a traitor in the village, it is not easy to find without a guide.
Before Su Qing'an reached the entrance to the mountain, she met a man from Baijia Village running towards her in a hurry.
