Chapter 788 The Rebels Are Attacking the City!

Yan Huaiwen thought about it and moved the names of the Wei family boys forward.

After adding some words as appropriate, he slightly revised a few words.

He copied it again.

The handwriting was neat and rigorous, less rounded and more rugged.

This battle was the first major victory of the court since the suppression of the rebellion.

Five thousand elite soldiers of the rebel army were killed and the enemy general was beheaded.

If this achievement was only reported truthfully, how could it show the loyalty of the King of England, the bravery of the Guanzhou army, and the determination of the people of Guanzhou and Leshan to fight against the rebellion.

This military report from Guanzhou is what the old emperor wants to see.

The King of Qi is plotting rebellion, which is the suppression of the rebels by the orthodox imperial power.

He is also a person who is showing his intention.

Although the tiger is old, it can still roar in the mountains.

…

Xiaoan Village is preparing nervously and busy.

The villagers were worried that they could not hold on and the rebels would come, but they were also unwilling to give up the village from the bottom of their hearts. Here were his newly built houses, land full of green seedlings, and their better and better lives.

Sweat and hard work.

The old and young in Xiaoan Village were all holding back their energy.

While hiding the money and food at home like ants moving house, they practiced bows and crossbows, lifting door panels, and coordination when they had free time.

Yan Yu really couldn't do anything about lifting door panels.

There were not enough shields in the military camp, so they couldn't equip the villagers with them. Everyone didn't care, they felt more comfortable with door panels.

After discussing, the village elders planned to let the people who were assigned to Xiaoan Village to take refuge in Xizhou temporarily stay in several newly built houses near the river.

Unlike the hasty situation when they first arrived, a house that can shelter from the wind and snow is enough. The new houses built in the spring of this year are all brick and tile houses, with solid materials. Although they have not been completed, the general framework is in place. There is no kang in the house yet. It is still okay to live in it in this season. Just lay a layer of hay on the ground.

Among them are the two houses that Xiaoer's godfather and Yan Laoer arranged for his teacher.

The village elders naturally came to the Yan family to ask.

Li Xuemei's idea was approved.

These Xizhou people who came to take refuge were in a panic for two days, and then they realized that they had come to a rare and good place.

This Xiaoan Village is different from other villages in every way.

At this time of year, when the war is about to start, the village still offers jobs to recruit people.

I heard from the Xizhou villagers who lived nearby that before, this village hired people to work and paid them wages, and they could also exchange some rice and daily necessities with the village. Now the order has been changed, and only one meal at noon is provided.

Even so, people lined up in front of the village chief Luo's house early in the morning. There was no room in the yard, so they had to line up outside the yard.

Don't underestimate it. It's just a lunch.

Xiaoan Village allows people to eat well. If they grit their teeth after eating a good meal, they can survive for a day.

The more difficult the world is, the more people can endure the hardship.

I don't know what will happen in the future, so I can save as much as I can.

If I can eat less food at home, I will earn money. I still want to know whether I will be paid or not.

"What do you do today?"

"Pulling weeds in the fields and feeding rabbits. What about you?"

"Making rafts and fishing nets."

"I also went to the river to do this yesterday. If I'm lucky, I can get some shellfish."

"What about you, brother?"

"Weaving baskets and cages."

"This requires skills. I can't do it."

"Do you think they can take me with them when they run away from the village?"

"If they call me, I'll thank them. If they don't, I won't pay much attention. If they want to run, we'll run too."

"I heard that the village dug a tunnel. They dug it by themselves. They didn't let anyone know where the tunnel was. They let us do all the work in the fields. The people in the village are either tinkering with those wooden frames or digging tunnels. They..."

"What do you want to say? Shut up! Can I find out about the tunnel? Be careful that someone hears you and reports you as a spy for the rebels. The last family that asked about you was taken away and never seen again. I advise you to stop meddling. We are relying on others for food. If the rebels really come, we will have to rely on our own abilities to escape. "

"I'm just asking, why are you so anxious? How can we be so ungrateful? We know who is good and who is bad. What have I become if you say that?"

"Oh, stop talking, go to work, maybe we can't win. The British king of Guanzhou was killed by the barbarians outside the pass. In this way, he is better than our prince, bah, bah, and the wolf-hearted rebel king. The barbarians in the west come to harm us from time to time."

"We..."

"The fight has started! The rebels are attacking the city!"

The man on horseback shouted from a distance.

Everyone who heard the noise ran out.

He stared at the man who entered the Yan family yard without blinking, his heart beating fast.

Several village elders walked steadily and slowly.

They shouted with full energy:

"Do what you need to do. What if you haven't been to Huju City? The city is collapsed and can't be broken!"

"If you have nothing to do, go to Sha the blacksmith to help." Old man Hu shouted, staring at this and that.

Mrs. Cui rushed out of her yard, running so fast that she almost sprained her ankle.

It was difficult to squeeze to the front, asking this and that, but they all said that they only listened to this sentence and nothing else.

Lost interest at once.

Sharp eyes saw the father of his child peeking out.

Squeezed over and dragged the man home.

"What are you doing out here? Have you cleaned up those dry leaves and dirt?"

"Those are all medicinal herbs, they can be sold for money! A lot of money!" Doctor Cui retorted unconvinced.

"Yes, yes, yes." Madam Cui lowered her voice: "If you have the ability, you can speak louder so that those people in Xizhou can hear you. Don't you understand the principle of not showing off your wealth? I'm showing you off."

Doctor Cui knew the importance of this, and also lowered his voice: "With just the people in our family, how long will it take to deal with them?"

Madam Cui got angry when she mentioned this: "Didn't I tell you that the medicinal herbs were packed and stored in the cellar with the grain. The waiters in those places carefully selected them and hid them very well. They also left small holes for ventilation. Brother Lu and his men sealed them with soil. The work was beautiful. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all. You insist that it can't be put away, because the medicinal properties will be lost..."

"It will indeed be lost." Doctor Cui grumbled aggrievedly. He didn't make up stories. That's it.

"Then you can carry them in large and small bags. Don't count on me or my family." Madam Cui said with gnashing teeth.

Doctor Cui was not convinced: "I, I still have two sons."

"Oh! When the time comes, see if you can catch our dog. I won't waste my time with you. I'm going to visit the Yan family and ask carefully."

Mrs. Cui stood at the door of her house with her hands on her waist. Doctor Cui hurriedly went into the yard to work.

Seeing that the dog's father was still honest, Mrs. Cui was a little relieved.

She turned around and patted the back door of the Yan family.

Before, the front and back doors of the Yan family were not closed during the day. Now there are many outsiders in the village. The village elders specifically mentioned this matter and asked everyone to keep the door closed.

There is a small camp next to the village, patrolling day and night, and there are still people guarding the top of the arrow tower. There is no need to worry about someone making trouble, but it is always better to be more vigilant.

There may be people in the neighboring villages who pretend to obey.

Because of their own experience, the people of Xiao'an Village are very obedient to things that improve their sense of security. (End of this chapter)
