Huo Yinshan immediately took up a pen and wrote a letter to appease those subordinates, saying that he would go back after he had arranged the affairs of the show girl, and told them not to worry. It doesn't matter if Song Yucheng comes again. If you want to make a fuss, let him make a fuss, don't open the city gate, and survive this period.
After writing the letter, Huo Yinshan released the pigeon from the window. However, he never expected that the homing pigeon was injured by something just as it flew up, and fell from above.
"What's going on?" Huo Yinshan raised his voice and asked.
A subordinate hurried over to pick up the pigeon and saw that the wings had been pecked. Judging by the size of the wound, it was not man-made, but rather a bird. It looks bigger than a pigeon, but not a hawk or a kite.
However, just when he was wondering, he heard that the back house of the post station suddenly became chaotic. Then there was a huge uproar.
"uproar"
"uproar"
"uproar"
In the dark night, it was impossible to see anything. Therefore, this stern voice became even more frightening. It seems to be the precursor of the night walk of the ghosts.
Those show girls in the back were almost scared to pee. Those who are timid will cry directly.
Coincidentally, the long night was long, and these beautiful women originally got together to chat, and they talked about the story of the black mother-in-law talking at night in the mountain village to relieve their boredom.
Here we are talking about the black mother-in-law catching children and women to eat, when this shrill voice suddenly appeared, perfectly fitting, as if the story had come true.
"No, it can't really be a monster!"
"It's terrible, what should I do, who will save me?"
"Everyone, don't mess around. I'll call the guard at the gate and ask him to come and have a look."
"No! Don't open the door, what if it's a monster!"
These show girls were all in chaos at once. Even in a hurry, some people were accidentally knocked down.
The commotion at the back house soon attracted Huo Yinshan's attention. While asking someone to go to the back house for protection, he yelled: "Check, go and find out what it is?"
"Yes!" Huo Yinshan's subordinates were also busy, lighting torches and looking for lights. But when the back house was illuminated, none of them thought that those terrifying and piercing voices before were actually crows.
It happened to be the gang that Song Yucheng trained in Rongcheng.
This group of crows was suppressed by Haidongqing at Song Yucheng's place before, but now they are released, they are naturally very excited. After holding back the words for several days, he also said them all.
"Ugly, it's too ugly. It's so ugly that you can go to the draft. This emperor's vision is not good!"
"Wow, wow, the old black mountain demon is here to catch you, hurry up and cry out!"
"In life, there are always so many ups and downs, don't be cowardly, jump up with me~"
"Come on~ have fun~ Anyway, there is a lot of time~"
However, these words of theirs fell into the ears of those beautiful girls, and they were all kinds of noisy "wow". And at the most wonderful time, even after the firelight exposed these crows, these crows didn't mean to be afraid, but screamed even more expressively. Those words are so many that they are boundless, like a vast ocean.
When they were at Song Yucheng's place before, they almost blew up the yard because of talking too much. As for now, once the words that have been held back for three days are released, the lethality is even more powerful. It is no longer blowing up the yard, but blowing up people's heads.
Faced with such mental pollution, many people wish they could go deaf immediately. As for Huo Yinshan, he also looked confused.
"What's going on here? Why are there so many crows here?"
However, facing his question, the subordinates who were with him couldn't find an answer at all.
After all, it was too sudden. Who would have thought that it was fine during the day, but suddenly it was attacked by a large group of crows at night.
However, no matter what they thought, the calls of these crows still continued. For such a small county town, it is definitely a rather strange experience.
Many people who were belatedly opened the door and looked out. After discovering the voices from the post station, after a closer look, they turned out to be crows. This time they were all shocked.
As we all know, crows are not a symbol of celebration among the people, they are professional mourners. Occasionally, one of them landed in the house, and it had to be sent away immediately, and even a handful of beans had to be scattered to ward off evil spirits. Now it's all over the city, and those old people can hardly figure out whether their small county town has recruited the God of Plague, or else it's fine, why are there so many crows gathered
This is not one or two litters, but hundreds of them!
"Bodhisattva bless you, God the Stove God bless you, Huang Daxian bless you!"
"The plague god is here, are we going to end here?"
"God, what the hell happened!"
Almost half of the people in the county are awake, unless it is the kind that is too far away, the rest are almost all alarmed by this rare "spectacle" that is rare in a hundred years.
The entire county is in chaos, and the county is even more collapsed to the extreme.
crow! This is a crow! If it were replaced by magpies, it might still be a good thing. Now that there are so many crows here, if it gets to the ears of someone with a heart, wouldn't it imply that his parents are not good at being an official, and even the crows came to warn them
"What to do, what to do here?" The county seat was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked for the master to come.
"Master, don't be in a hurry. If you want me to tell you, the crow can't report the funeral to you. There are people who are more anxious than us!" The master also just woke up, and when he realized something was wrong, he hurried over to the county government. Seeing the anxious appearance of the county magistrate, he hurriedly said a few words of comfort. It's just that there is something in these words, which seems to have a deep meaning.
The county magistrate was taken aback for a moment, but then he immediately came to his senses. The big stone in my heart also fell suddenly.
That's right, why is he in a hurry, he has been the county magistrate for many years, and he has been safe and sound. It was clearly Huo Yinshan and those new ladies who really caused trouble. No, as soon as they came, the crows came. Maybe the God of Plague is hiding inside Xiu Nu.
Thinking of this, the county magistrate listened to what the master said, and hurriedly wrote a secret letter, intending to send it. The show girl is ominous, this is a major event involving the dragon body.
If it is late, he will also be responsible. As for why not go straight to the fold? The reason is also very simple.
Huo Yinshan had a lot of power in the court, if he went to the official, the paper might be blocked before it was handed over to Beijing. If it didn't even work out, then Huo Yinshan would beat him up, saying that the crow was coming towards him.
If the emperor really believed it, even if he could keep his head as the county magistrate, his future career would be over like this. After all, who would use an ominous person as an official? Isn't this waiting for the plague god to come
After a few more careful discussions with the master, the county magistrate made the words in the secret letter even more mysterious. Not to mention, when Huo Yinshan and the others came over, it was covered by dark clouds.
However, when the county magistrate was busy writing letters, the post station was completely messed up.
A full hour passed, and instead of dispersing, the crows became noisier than before. The screams one after another are almost deafening. However, no matter how the people below chased them away, they still hovered over the station, refusing to leave.
"Hurry up, drive them away, drive them all away!" At this moment, Huo Yinshan was really in a hurry. He was not a stupid person, so he naturally understood what would happen if the crow landed on Xiu Nu. I also know that if the trouble continues, this reputation will definitely be gone.
Therefore, he must immediately think of a way!
"Go! Call all the archers! Can't these crows be driven away? Then shoot them all!" Huo Yinshan was really angry.
"Yes!" The subordinate took the order and left.
However, the shamelessness of these crows is far beyond their imagination. Seeing that the archers were in position here and were about to shoot arrows, those crows flapped their wings and flew to a higher sky.
"???"What's happening here? The archers who were aiming were all stunned. Seeing those crows beyond the range of the bow and arrow.
As for Huo Yinshan, he was even more angry, and couldn't help cursing: "These bastards... um..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the strange expression on his face. It seemed that something fell from the sky and landed directly on his nose, and then, a sticky lump was slapped on his forehead.
He subconsciously reached out to wipe it, and then jumped into a rage.
It turned out to be bird droppings!
"Damn! Chase me! If you don't shoot down all these crows, don't you sleep today!"
"Yes!" Those soldiers were also furious with the bird droppings, wishing they could also fly into the sky and tear up all the crows.
But after such a tossing all night, the crow failed to hit it, and the bird droppings bomb suffered a lot instead.
No one can figure it out, it's just a group of crows, where did so much shit come from
Just look at the roof of the station, and the ground in the yard, it's everywhere. That smell is also stinky.
Healing those beautiful women and officers and soldiers who have been tossed all night is also extremely exhausting. But even so, they still had to set off quickly. There is a time limit for the draft. If it is late, you will have to wait another three years.
Moreover, among the group of beautiful girls that Huo Yinshan is bringing with him, others may be okay, but Huo Yinshan's daughter is not young anymore. If you miss this year, you will completely miss the royal family.
"Everyone work hard and have a good rest tonight." But as soon as Huo Yinshan finished speaking, the familiar "wow" sound appeared again.
He subconsciously looked up to the sky, and saw a group of crows flying towards him while calling. It's still the same group as yesterday.
"Brother! We woke up! Get up, let's go to Beijing together!" The crow croaked and flew towards Huo Yinshan and the others.
Huo Yinshan's face also suddenly turned green. As for those ordinary people, they all looked at him with a special look, as if besides, these crows are coming for you
————————
On the other side of Rongcheng, the messenger had just received the news, and while smiling, he reported back to Song Yucheng.
"My lord, your trick is really perfect. Huo Yinshan doesn't have time to manage the city now. He will be exhausted just to deal with those crows."
"Then be careful, and make it clear to the brothers who followed Huo Yinshan, don't get too close, safety comes first."
"Don't worry, sir! We are all clean."
"Well, what about the arranged magic fortune teller? Have you sent it to Beijing?"
"Sent it too. Everything is as you said before."
"That's good. Now that the foreign aggression has been eliminated, it's time for us to train our troops."
"It's good to fight! Brothers are going to be free!" The orderly's eyes lit up, but then he became depressed again: "But Lord, there is not even a bandit den around here, who are we going to fight with?" !"
"Why is there a lack of opponents in a war?" Song Yucheng pointed to the map: "Isn't the city still detaining our military salary for three years? If they don't pay it, we can only get it ourselves."
"You mean..." the orderly's eyes lit up.
Song Yucheng also laughed: "There are many troublemakers in the poor mountains and rivers, so let's be the troublemakers! By the way, Huo Yinshan's backyard is also set on fire."
Having said that, Song Yucheng asked the messenger to give orders. Let them pick two thousand smart ones, and recently, he will take them out.
It is not a good thing that the gap between the rich and the poor is too large. Huo Yinshan's family is so rich, it is only natural to help them poor households in Rongcheng.
————————
However, such a thing as a war cannot be started with a mere lip service. Although many of Rongcheng's gang are veterans, none of them have actually been on the battlefield. Therefore, even if Song Yucheng finished picking people on this side, he still had to carry out the next step of training.
At the very least, they must first learn from veterans how to save their lives on the battlefield. This is not because of timidity, but only by guaranteeing life first can we see victory.
Good things take time, Song Yucheng has plenty of time. What's more, he just killed Rongcheng Zhizhou, and the new Zhizhou hasn't been sent yet. Now it is equivalent to a waste of time, he will not feel bored at all.
Another two days passed in a blink of an eye, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and Huo Yinshan was still struggling with the gang of poor and lingering crows. He was even afraid that the rumors would be too exaggerated, so he simply took a small path. Some bigger and bustling towns are simply not dared to enter.
And those beautiful girls who were usually pampered at home, couldn't bear such a long journey, and gradually lost weight. Some even wanted to escape. Those who are weak have already begun to show signs of illness.
It's a complete dilemma. And what gave Huo Yinshan the most headache was that his hometown on the other side of the city was not stopping.
According to reports from the spies, Song Yucheng often made small moves there. Although he didn't go back to ask for military pay after taking away the military equipment, he was indeed training soldiers.
No matter how bad Rongcheng is, there are still 30,000 garrison troops. When there were only 5,000 cavalry, Song Yucheng dared to go to Kuocheng to grab armaments. If the 30,000 cavalry were trained well, wouldn't the city change hands
What's more, since Song Yucheng came to Rongcheng, his life has never stopped. Now even something as annoying as a crow has been recruited. If it doesn't work out, it's all bad luck brought by Song Yucheng.
The more Huo Yinshan thought about it, the more angry he became. He thinks that all the unsatisfactory things are caused by Song Yucheng's coming to Rongcheng. Therefore, he decided that if Song Yucheng didn't make him comfortable, he wouldn't let Song Yucheng live a good life.
Don't you think there is nothing you can do if others are not in the city? He just wanted to tease him hard once, to let him understand what it meant to be a strong dragon that cannot overwhelm a local snake.
What about the county king? Even if the crown prince went to the city, he still had to give it to him!
Thinking of this, Huo Yinshan issued a secret order to his subordinates, ordering the city and several surrounding towns not to allow any more grain to be sold to Rongcheng.
No, not only grain, but all trade was immediately stopped. Rongcheng was originally poor, and it was close to the sea. Without decent food, all the people in their city would be ruined.
Song Yucheng wanted to make things difficult for him? Then let's see who is more blocked now!
The author has something to say:
Crow: If you feel happy, you can clap your hands ~ clap clap ~
Huo Yinshan: I feel so fucking happy! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
