He was surrounded
Chapter 1071 He was surrounded
Liu Ge'er was so angry that he gritted his teeth and gestured to Yangzi.
Yangzi shouted, "Captain Zhong is wrong. Our young leader also eats cooked meat. It's just that the meat given to Li was raw..."
Dangdang Dangdang!
"Quiet, the captain is speaking. Anyone who interrupts will be regarded as a deliberate provocation and will be dealt with according to military regulations!" The soldier shouted to interrupt him, and signaled a team of soldiers to move closer to Yangzi and Liuge'er, as if to surround them.
Liu Ge'er and Yang Zi grew increasingly furious, with Liu Ge'er almost asking, "Are you acting like this? Don't you consider us mountain people your allies?"
Idiot, the mountain people are naturally our allies, but you descendants of spies can only be our mortal enemies.
And now you are outside our mountain, not lying down, but stirring up trouble. How can the Wei army tolerate you? They are not killing you because you are still useful!
Captain Zhong continued, "In short, everyone should take care to protect themselves, lest they get sick from their food and take their own lives!"
The phrase "diseases come from the mouth" is quite ambiguous, and it even made Liu Ge'er wonder... Did the Wei enemy know something? Otherwise, why would every word they said be so pointed?
"Ms. Li, go pack your things. We'll take you to the Xue family's shop on Xindajie for temporary shelter." Captain Zhong ordered, then came over to Liu Ge'er and said, "Young Chief, this is all we can do for today's matter. If you feel wronged, wait until the Third Chief comes out, then talk to him and ask him to apologize."
The three village chiefs who were not present: "..."
Captain Zhong added, "And considering the cause of today's incident, I have no choice but to say a few words... The customs inside and outside the mountains are different. Young Master, before taking any action, you should inquire about them, lest you do something bad with good intentions."
Haha, who said that the man named Zhong is a reckless man?
The person who said this clearly is a scheming person!
Liu Ge'er cursed in his heart, but he still pretended to be gentle on the surface and saluted, "Thank you, County Lieutenant Zhong, for reminding me. I will remember it."
I've got this in mind. Just wait for me. When I leave, I will slaughter all the untouchables in Taifeng Town!
After Liu Ge'er finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer and turned back to the courtyard where he lived.
The villagers were still enthusiastic. Braving the howling cold wind, they stood or squatted outside the yard, discussing enthusiastically.
The villagers did not leave until Li Yutong packed up her belongings and was escorted by soldiers to the Xuejiazhaipu on Xinda Street to settle down.
They gathered around the Xue family's warehouse and gossiped about it.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Liu Ge'er was so angry that he used a knife to cut his arms hard, and both arms were covered in blood.
Yangzi and others knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word of advice.
Finally, Yangzi made a suggestion: "Master, wait until night, we will sneak into the village, sprinkle some medicine, and kill a few untouchables to vent your anger."
"Shut up, idiot!" Liu Ge'er cursed in a low voice, "The Zhong guy is a wolf. Do you think he would not send people to keep an eye on us after he smelled us, and would let us sneak into the village and harm people?"
"Besides, if anything happens to anyone in the village, we will be the first to be suspected. Do you want to alert the enemy and ruin the great cause of the ancestors?"
"I know I was wrong." Yangzi quickly admitted his mistake.
"Pack up and prepare for the New Year... Remember what our purpose is, and don't lose sight of it because of some accidents, understand?" Liu Ge'er gave the order, looking at the wound on his arm where the skin and flesh were turned outward, enduring the pain, and applying medicine to the wound to stop the bleeding.
"Yes." Yangzi and the others agreed and began to prepare for the New Year's celebrations in a lively and busy manner, just like all the people of Wei.
They also put up Spring Festival couplets.
After working for half a day and it was starting to feel like the New Year, a group of soldiers moved into a house nearby.
Yangzi and others were shocked and hurried to report to Liu Ge'er.
Liuge'er almost lost control again and tried to cut himself with a knife, but he managed to restrain himself. He even had Yangzi pack some gifts and went to visit a nearby courtyard. Qiu Zongqi, a subordinate of Ling Baihu, came forward to greet him and said with a smile, "Young Chieftain, you are too kind. We, the new residents, should have been the ones to deliver gifts to your old neighbors, but you beat us to it. We have been impolite."
He further explained, "When the imperial construction team first arrived, the Qin family and the government officials wanted to place us here. After much persuasion, we finally agreed to let them take turns staying here for a while during the New Year to relax and unwind."
Do you understand? We agreed on this more than a month ago. We didn't move here just to keep an eye on you because you came.
Qiu Zongqi sniffed again and asked worriedly, "Is the young leader injured? Why is there a strong smell of blood and knife wound medicine?"
Liu Ge'er's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "I accidentally injured myself when I was slaughtering the New Year sheep. It's a minor injury. I have already applied medicine. General Qiu, don't worry."
"Oh, young commander, your status is precious, you must be careful. Where are you injured? Old Qiu has some excellent medicine for wounds, I will use it to apply to the young commander right away." General Qiu was quite enthusiastic and was put on Liu Ge'er's list of Wei soldiers who must be killed.
"No, no, the wound has been treated with medicine. General Qiu is busy now, so we won't disturb him." Liu Ge'er stood up and said goodbye, not wanting to waste any more time with this "corpse".
Qiu Zongqi's enthusiasm remained undiminished. He sent Liu Ge'er directly to the gate of the mountain people's courtyard, shouting, "Young leader, be careful not to touch water, otherwise the wound will become red and fester. Don't drink alcohol or eat mutton, as these are all irritating foods. Just eat some pork!"
If it weren't for the great cause of our ancestors, those with the surname Chou would have to die now!
"Okay, I'll remember it. Thank you, General Qiu." Liu Ge'er responded, walked into the yard, returned to the house and closed the door.
A while after the door was closed, one could still hear General Qiu's responses and farewells.
From then on, there was constant noise in Qiu Zongqi's yard. Even at night, there were still voices talking, and the noise lasted until midnight.
As the night deepened, the noises mostly died down, but the sound of patrolling footsteps could still be heard.
In the morning, the sound of the horn was heard before dawn, and General Qiu led the soldiers to get up for morning training.
"Haha, hehehe!" Liu Ge'er laughed angrily, and his laughter was so abnormal.
Yangzi and the others were terrified and tried to comfort him: "Master, they will only stay here until the Lantern Festival at most. Just bear with it and it will pass."
Liu Ge'er turned his gaze towards them, his eyes cold, as if he was looking at some garbage that he was eager to throw away: "Do you still think they are here to celebrate the New Year?"
Yangzi and the others were shocked when they heard this and asked, "Master, do you mean they are here to monitor us?"
"What else? Are they really coming for the New Year? The New Year is just an excuse for them to 'dispatch troops'." Liu Ge'er closed his eyes and said with regret, "I shouldn't have alarmed the Qin family, and I shouldn't have gone to deal with the Li family. I should have stayed in hiding and, when the time came, I would have taken them by surprise."
Now that he had alerted the enemy, he was surrounded by the Wei army!
Being watched all the time and restricted at every turn, it is difficult to carry out hostage-taking.
Yangzi was furious and said, "The untouchables outside the mountain are cunning, but no matter how cunning they are, they underestimated us."
Do people outside the mountains think that they will observe Confucian etiquette and martial ethics?
They don't have this tradition.
When the time comes, they will kill everyone, step on the corpses, and escape with the hostages.
Liu Ge'er took out a packet of medicine and poured it directly into his mouth and swallowed it. After a while, the medicine took effect and he finally calmed down a lot. He ordered: "Do as I instructed before, and be more polite and gentle than before... You can't act on your own. Ask me first before doing anything or saying anything."
