Chapter 122: Exposed

Wu Shaoyi himself had one thousand one hundred people, and against the Lu Yao and government army coalition in County Magistrate Village, he was more confident.

Destroying them separately is the conventional way of fighting for soldiers.

At the end of the third watch, the two's wine conversation also came to an end.

Lu Yao was red-faced, and the table was a mess. He poured another mouthful of wine, wiped his mouth and stood up: "It's not two hours until dawn, can He lord rest assured now?"

He Chunhua didn't understand: "Rest assured of what?"

Lu Yao laughed, turned and left. This official was still uneasy, insisting on dragging him to drink wine, so that he had no time to find his subordinates to plot a surprise attack, but he didn't know that he didn't intend to make a move at all at night.

Drank too much wine, his stomach was a bit bloated, he found a place to let water, and asked his subordinates: "Wu Shaoyi there, why is there no news yet?"

The subordinates didn't know either, and hurriedly went to ask a big circle.

Until Lu Yao waited impatiently, this person led a scout and ran over: "General Wu is greedy for cups, and only went on the road after sobering up, and his stomach was not smooth on the way."

Lu Yao frowned: "Why is it so slack? Not right."

He looked around and suddenly said: "Fat man, what about the fat man, where is Wang Pangzi, where did he die?"

Usually these news were coordinated by Wang Pangzi and reported to him, so why did he need to worry about it? The subordinates looked at each other and muttered that they didn't know.

Lu Yao poured down the sobering tea offered by the villagers, and used a cold towel to apply to his face, the heat in his head went down, but the suspicion in his heart emerged.

Not right, Wang Pangzi was always active and proactive, how could he disappear for most of the night?

Thinking of He Chunhua inexplicably looking for him to drink, and drinking for several hours, could it be that he wanted to cover up something? Lu Yao stared at his subordinates: "Go, find Wang Pangzi for me. If you can't find him, I will eat you alive!"

Everyone scattered.

Once people have life danger, the efficiency of doing things is extremely high. The bandits gathered the civilians in the east village and asked: "Who else saw our fat brother tonight, the one living in Zhu Xiuer's room?"

Asked twice, no one made a sound.

It seems that giving some motivation won't work, the bandits said again: "Those who give clues can immediately take back their own children!"

Only then did the villagers react, all thinking hard.

A woman in the back row considered for a long time, and suddenly gritted her teeth: "I have seen it!"

"Oh?" The task assigned by the boss was about to be completed, and the bandits were also very happy. "You, come out and speak!"

He Chunhua watched Lu Yao's back leave, and only then did a sneer appear on the corner of his mouth.

Back in his own territory, the government troops were waiting in full battle array, while the villagers were anxious. He Yue was accompanying Lady Ying, while Zhu Xiuer was looking out the window in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Lady Ying saw her husband and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, that evil person didn't make things difficult for you."

"He forgets himself when he drinks, and wishes there were more listeners." He Chunhua sat down, Qian Ma saw his face was red, knowing he couldn't win the wine, hurriedly gave him water to wash, and offered sobering soup.

"Since the flying arrow warning, Wu Shaoyi's team hasn't advanced, but instead called the remnants down the mountain." The guard came to report, "But he raised a spirit pet that is unusually sensitive, as if it were a sable demon. I went to explore for the second time and was almost chased, so I didn't dare to get close."

He Chunhua was overjoyed: "Heaven helps me! With such a spirit pet, it is more convenient than a scout. Wu Shaoyi wants to verify the truth of the letter, which is easy."

He Yue laughed: "It's not in vain that father drank all night, tired."

He Lingchuan walked out of the inner room and was startled when he saw He Chunhua: "Wow, father, your face is really red."

He Chunhua hiccuped: "How many years have I not drunk so wildly! Even if I took sobering pills in advance, I was still worried about talking nonsense after getting drunk and revealing the plan."

Lady Ying felt distressed: "Lu Yao is a reckless person, how can you compete with him in drinking!" Then she was anxious again, "We occupied the west village, other rebels won't come from the west, right?"

"Wu Shaoyi came from the east road, so he should attack from the east village and face Lu Yao directly."

He Yue said: "Wu Shaoyi stopped the team, probably wanting to join forces with Pei Xinyong. Since he took the east road, Pei Xinyong would go around to the west."

Lady Ying's face changed slightly: "Doesn't it just happen to come here?"

He Lingchuan laughed: "Suozi Rock is in the west. Only when Pei Xinyong goes to intercept the seven hundred ambush troops laid by Lu Yao, can Wu Shaoyi let go and attack County Magistrate Village, so the west side is very safe."

Lady Ying said "Oh," but she didn't feel relieved until He Chunhua nodded.

Zhao Qinghe added: "To prevent accidents, I placed crying vine dolls in a hidden position on the west road. If something passes by there, these little things will cry and warn; if something continues to pass by, they will cry loudly." After saying that, he threw a few cone-shaped gadgets on the table.

This thing looks very much like a hazelnut, and the texture on the skin looks very much like a human face, with eyes and a mouth, but that mouth is now tightly closed.

In the middle of the night, if biological things continue to pass by on the west road, it can only be the army of humans.

He Lingchuan held one in his hand: "This thing looks like a hazelnut, can it be eaten?"

He just asked casually, but the guard really answered: "Yes, but it is very bitter and astringent, and you will have a bad stomach if you eat it."

He Chunhua took a look: "This was given to you by the Great Shaman, right?"

"Yes."

He Lingchuan's heart moved when he heard it. Are they talking about the Great Shaman Zhaoman Du? The Great Shaman he only heard of but never saw since he woke up? Just at this time, someone outside suddenly shouted: "Zhu Xiuer, Zhu Xiuer, come out!"

This voice came from the east.

There was another variable at this critical moment, and everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Lady Ying was suspicious and asked Zhu Xiuer: "Why are the bandits looking for you?"

Zhu Xiuer shook her head to show she didn't know.

He Chunhua stood up and said: "Go out and see."

Everyone walked out a few steps, only to find that Zhu Xiuer didn't follow, and when they looked back, she stood in place, as if in a daze.

Lady Ying asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Since knowing Zhu Xiuer's background, she had been particularly sympathetic to this little woman who had been trafficked.

Zhu Xiuer shook her head again, lowered her head and followed silently.

The bandits outside shouted three times, and He Chunhua walked out, stood on the west side of the middle line and asked: "What's the matter?"

"I won't talk to you official!" The bandit said, "Who is Zhu Xiuer?"

In fact, there were only three women in the group, except for Lady Ying and Qian Ma, everyone subconsciously turned to look at Zhu Xiuer.

"You are Zhu Xiuer!" This bandit raised his hand and pointed high. "Look, what is that?"

The village terrain is low, and the further west, the higher it is. The bandit pointed to the mountain road in the west, which was at least fifteen feet away from the ground, and the mountain wall was bare and nothing was there.
