Chapter 669 Rangers

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Black clouds were rolling in, heavy rain was pouring down, and the sky and the earth were completely white.

    The strong wind roared like a demonic sound filling the ears, the big trees were uprooted, and the world seemed like a group of demons dancing wildly.

    The violent wind and rain lasted all day, and the people hid in their houses and shivered. The faithful men and women even burned incense and prayed that the Dragon King would calm down quickly.

    The wind dropped a lot the next day, but the rain showed no sign of slowing down.  The second typhoon in the second year of Longqing was much more violent than the last time.

    However, in such weather, there was a group of strong men, holding horses and trekking hard on the official road from Jiading County to Kunshan.

    This is the embankment-destroying task force sent by Xu Bangning.  There were twenty people in total, Qing Yishui's well-trained sergeants, all his father's soldiers at the Nanjing garrison.

    The young prince came to Huating for a meeting and brought forty or fifty soldiers to build up his momentum. He sent half of them now.

    No matter how many people there are, it will be too eye-catching.

    "These sergeants were all wearing rainproof oil coats, leggings, and wooden clogs. They walked very hard in the wind and rain.

    A sergeant complained in a low voice to the leading officer: "Baihu, have we offended Manager Xu? Damn it, this is such a hard job."

    "Don't make any noise." Baihu wiped the rain off his face and whispered, "This is the kind of weather that makes it easy to do things."

    "That's true." The sergeant nodded. He didn't meet anyone along the way, and the footprints he walked were quickly washed away by the rain.

    "But boss, aren't we afraid of having a son without sex if we do such an immoral thing?" asked another sergeant.

    "You should first find a wife and then worry about this." Baihu spat: "When it comes to evil deeds, who can compare to our father-in-law? There has been a sea of ??evil done in the past few decades, and I have not seen these two men.  You can¡¯t poop.¡±

    Some vulgar words made the sergeants chuckle.  But it also relieved them of their psychological burden.

    "Yes, there are gold belts for killing people and setting fires, and there are no corpses for building bridges and paving roads. Let's go and dig up the embankments, and then go back to Nanjing to collect the money and live happily, no matter what kind of bird Kunshan is."

    "I've been coveting Xiaofengxi for a long time. This time I have to go to her bed!"

    "Look at your potential, you will make it impossible for her to get out of bed!"

    "You're just bragging"

    When talking about this kind of topic, the sergeants no longer feel tired or cold all of a sudden. They wish they could put on their wings and fly to Kunshan and dig the damn embankment!

    While we were having a meal, Baihu suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to be silent.

    The sergeants followed the direction he pointed and saw a long gray dragon stretching westward from in front of them, deep into the rain curtain.

    Kunshan has arrived.

    ??~~

    Everyone immediately stopped laughing and gathered in a group at the greetings of hundreds of households, leaving only two people standing guard.

    Several sergeants took the ponchos and built a shelter to protect them from the rain.

    The deputy took out the map and unfolded it in front of everyone.

    Baihu pointed to the winding Wusong River on the map and said: "The Wusong River is 62 miles long in Kunshan, and there are four important sections. Manager Xu ordered us to choose one or two places to start."

    As he spoke, he sneered and said: "But I don't intend to listen to him. When the county is concerned about the newly built embankment, there must be people guarding those places. Aren't we going to die?"

    The sergeants were convinced and nodded.  No matter how high the reward offered by the young master is, it must have a life flower.

    "Over there, what should we do?"

    "We will take it by surprise and strike at an insignificant place. As long as the section of the embankment dug is long enough, the effect will be the same, and no one will notice." He said to the crowd in a deep voice:

    "But we have to use the same approach. Let's just say that everyone is looking too closely to make a move. Don't let your mother-in-law leak it to me."

    "Don't worry, Baihu, you are doing it for the sake of our brothers." The sergeants expressed their opinions hurriedly.

    "Yes." Baihu felt relieved and continued to give instructions: "So I am going to take action here."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: A place called Beitabang is located twenty miles away within the county.

    "Two days ago, I took a boat and stepped on the Wusong River. I found that the river was very fast, but it was quite quiet. The Minzhuang patrolling the embankment never came here."

    "And there is an earth embankment between the stone embankment in Kunshan and the river. Every mile, there are vertical embankments dividing it into grids. It's like it was specially designed for us."

    Baihu smiled proudly and said confidently:

    ¡°When we get to the place, follow the drill, and we can retreat back the same way in half an hour at most. If we get separated, we can go from Jiading to Changshu via Taicang, and then find a way back to Nanjing from there Anyway, as long as we leave KunshanThere is nothing they can do about the situation.  "

    "Yes!" All the sergeants responded in unison.

    Baihu stood up straight, his deputy put away the map, and several sergeants also took off their ponchos.

    "What if, what if, I say what if, it falls into the hands of the Kunshan people," Baihu glanced at everyone sternly and said, "You must not betray the young master. Otherwise, if one person dies, the whole family dies, remember!"

    "Understood!" The sergeants responded horrifiedly, carrying the equipment on their horses, then leading the horses to the woods beside the road and tying them up, and then followed Baihu into Kunshan County.

    ??~~

    When the typhoon hit, the villagers stopped working and the boats carrying stones returned to the city.

    Miwa had a free day and couldn¡¯t stay at home any longer, so today she took a friend who was two years younger than him and went out to the city to look for mice.

    First, all the rats in the city have been caught, so they can only look for them outside the city.

    Second, in this weather, water enters the holes, and the mice can't stay, so they can only get out and run around.  Let it rain again, and it will be much easier to catch than usual.

    "It's a pity that there are many people who have the same idea as them. The two of them came out a little late and were kicked out wherever they went.

    Miwa became angry and decided to catch the mouse on the river embankment. She didn¡¯t believe that a fool would run twenty miles away to snatch a mouse from her during a typhoon.

    My friend thought this idea was great, so he followed Captain Mi and set off boldly and high-spirited.

    But halfway through, I regretted it. This road was too difficult

    When the embankment was being built, tens of thousands of people pushed carts back and forth, crushing the road to pieces before they could repair it.

    Now let the heavy rain soak in, and it will become mud soup directly.

    The two children were running and playing with bare feet. They accidentally fell and soon became mud monkeys.

    "Woo." The little friend couldn't bear it anymore, so he sat in the pit and cried loudly.  "Report to captain, I'm exhausted. I want to go home."

    "If you go back now, you still have to walk ten miles, which means you have walked twenty miles in vain." Miwa followed her mother out on the boat every day. She has grown a lot and shouted like a child king:

    "Six or seven miles further, we'll reach the levee, which will save us more effort. How can you be my vice-captain if you can't even figure this out?"

    ¡°There¡¯s still a vice-captain, there aren¡¯t even any team members.¡± The vice-captain cried, rubbing his legs.

    Seeing that people¡¯s hearts were a little scattered and it was difficult to lead the team, Miwa had no choice but to use the bright prospect to seduce:

    "How many rats do you think are hidden in that earthen embankment? They all escaped when the water rose. They can't escape even if they are separated by a stone embankment. How many can each of us catch? We can eat all the meat for several days."

    "I want to eat meat" The vice-captain immediately became energetic, grabbed the captain's hand and stood up.  The two formed a team and headed towards the embankment.
