Chapter 622

The old village chief nodded immediately and promised that he would definitely do the whole thing beautifully.

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Zhang Tian left the village.

He still needed to scout the situation in the surrounding area.

To determine from which position the Xiongnu would choose to attack, and from which position they would choose to retreat.

And then, based on his own deductions, arrange where to deploy defensive personnel.

These were all difficult problems that needed to be considered.

Soon, news that a village's tax grain had not yet been handed over spread through the nearby towns and cities.

"Have you heard?"

"Oh, you're talking about that village, right?"

"Isn't it? I heard the young people from that village came to our town to work."

"With just those old people in the village, how could they possibly push out such heavy grain?"

Two young handymen squatted in a corner, talking casually.

"I heard that someone is going back tomorrow, and only then will they transport this batch of tax grain out."

Another person smiled and then spoke up.

The business of an inn was meant to be stolen leisure in the midst of busyness.

After the two handymen chatted casually for a few sentences, they went to busy themselves with their own work.

Yet they didn't know that the conversation between the two of them had fallen into the ears of a guest who was eating.

This guest wore a bamboo hat, slightly lowered, just enough to cover most of his face.

Upon hearing the content of the conversation between the two handymen just now, this person's eyes flickered.

"Waiter."

When he spoke, it was pure Great Qin language.

"Guest, what do you need?"

A waiter immediately ran over from afar, looking at this guest with a smile.

"Have you also heard about the matter of that village's tax grain not being handed over yet?"

This person asked.

The waiter thought this guest needed something.

He didn't expect that he was called over just for some idle talk.

"I was muddled; I hope the guest won't take it to heart. I'll go busy myself, I'll go busy myself."

The waiter thought this guest felt he was being too talkative.

"Wait."

"Bring another plate of mutton."

That person immediately called out to the waiter.

And then spoke.

At the same time, a piece of broken silver was slammed onto the table by him.

"This is your reward."

How could the waiter have expected this person to be so generous?

He hesitated for a while, then took the silver on the table with a smile.

"Many thanks, Guest."

The waiter said.

"Then tell me about the matter you just mentioned."

That person spoke again.

Although the waiter was somewhat puzzled as to why this person insisted on asking about this matter.

But it was better to say it than not, after all, it was a tael of broken silver.

"Guest, you've asked the right person about this matter."

"Our village isn't far from that village, but that village of theirs is very poor."

"Young people like to come to our town to find work."

"So the whole village is left with only old people, and those old people naturally cannot transport a large batch of grain and fodder out."

"In previous years, they let the young people go back, but this year, I don't know why, the young people haven't gone back for a long time."

The waiter's account was quite detailed.

After he finished speaking, he asked if the person needed anything else.

That person waved his hand, and the face under the bamboo hat revealed a thoughtful look.

"Are you sure the news is true?"

Helian Bobo frowned slightly.

"Leader, after scouting the news, I personally went to that village to investigate."

"That village is indeed as rumored, its location is very remote, and there are mostly old people in the village."

"Originally, the officials were a bit more lenient toward their village."

"But because the grain from the previous village was taken away by us, the officials urged them to hand over the grain and fodder quickly."

A man who looked very much like a Great Qin person stood in front of Helian Bobo.

His facial features, if looked at closely, could still show the difference from Great Qin people.

"Leader, we absolutely cannot let this opportunity pass."

"That is the grain of an entire village; if we can snatch it, we won't need to make a move against the Great Qin people again."

The several subordinates beside him, after hearing this person's words, spoke up immediately.

Helian Bobo's frown deepened.

He had originally planned to migrate the location to the depths of the grasslands.

Trying to stay as far away from the Great Qin border as possible.

He always felt that Great Qin seemed to have a restless feeling this year.

Yet he could not ignore the voices of the people below.

"Pake, you go and scout the situation personally."

"If it is true."

"We will act tonight."

After thinking for a long time, Helian Bobo also felt that he absolutely could not let this opportunity pass.

This village, speaking of which, should be easier to deal with than the previous village.

After all, the entire village was left with only some old people.

For these people, Helian Bobo had no intention of sparing their lives at all.

Regardless of whether they were old or young, as long as they were Great Qin people, they had to die under his blade.

The crowd, who had originally thought Helian Bobo would refuse, saw their eyes light up immediately after hearing Helian Bobo's words.

"Leader, I will definitely scout the news clearly; you can rest assured."

Pake said loudly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she had already mounted her warhorse.

The sound of galloping hooves rang out, and then a small team disappeared in front of everyone.

"Hahahaha, Pake, that brat, is still so impatient."

The few people who remained in place laughed and scolded.
