Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 9 Ambush
As soon as Feng Yibo came out of the inner house, he met two people approaching in a panic.

One is Gouzi, and the other is Aunt Meng's son, surnamed Meng, everyone calls him Mengzi.

"Little master, the patrol post found a wounded soldier who claimed to be the chief executive of the Beijing camp, and said that the Japanese pirates were coming soon!"

Gouzi looked anxious, but Mengzi looked eager to try.

Recently, many places in the south of the Yangtze River have been looted by Japanese pirates, and the methods are said to be extremely cruel.

If it is true, the people in Zhuangzi must be transferred as soon as possible.

But Gouzi knew that Jinling closed the city gate, so where could they hide?
Mengzi simply asked, there are not many Japanese pirates.

Usually he is in charge of training Zhuang Ding, but he actually has the intention of asking for a fight here.

"Anyway, let's gather Zhuang Ding first!" Feng Yibo didn't hesitate.

"Already let people go!"

Mengzi was eager to try, just about to ask for a fight.

Then Feng Yibo nodded and said: "Take me to see that President Qian!"

When Liu Zhao was sent to Feng's residence, he couldn't help feeling a little confused.

But after thinking about it, after all, it is the outskirts of Jinling, so it wouldn't be unusual if it was the other garden of some adult?
Not long after, the arrival of a young man let him know the identity of the owner of this place.

"I'm Feng Yuan, an imperial examination candidate, with the name of Yibo. I have met the general. Please tell me the specific situation."

Feng Yibo recognized at a glance that this person was the military general he saw outside the city gate today.

Therefore, he didn't bother about the identity of the other party, and directly asked about the specific situation.

"Liu Zhao is a martial artist, but he has also heard of Duke Xie Yuan's name. It is a great honor to see him today."

Although Liu Zhao is a military general, his brother-in-law is a scholar, so he is very concerned about the matter of Qiu Wei, and naturally knows the name of Jinke Jieyuan.

But he also knew that now was not the time to talk about it.

After a few simple greetings, he said directly: "The situation is urgent right now, Duke Xie Yuan, hurry up and take someone away!"

Whether you can survive or not depends on God's will.

He licked his dry lips and continued:
"Presumably those Japanese pirates will stop chasing Jinling after they get here, and they may supply supplies on the spot. If they leave late, I'm afraid it's... I'm afraid it's... Sigh!"

Feng Yibo waved his hand, and someone brought the tea.

He understood Liu Zhao's incomplete meaning, and his face showed a dignified expression.

"I understand what the general said, but what I want to know now is how many troops do the Japanese pirates have?"

Liu Zhao was a little confused, but still frowned and said:

"There are about a hundred or ten of them, but each of them is very brave and can fight against a hundred. Especially those Japanese pirates are good at leaping, they can reach more than ten feet in one leap, and their knives are extremely sharp. break!"

Hearing the number of Japanese pirates, Feng Yibo let go of the last bit of worry, nodded and said:
"I said that they will not be able to rob the south of the Yangtze River for long. I heard that there were two or three hundred people before, but now there are only a hundred people left, which means that they are already at the end of their strength."

Liu Zhao was taken aback, and just about to say something, Zhuang Ding came in from outside to report.

"Little master, a few people came from the entrance of the village. They say they belong to the Xue family in Jinling. The leader is a young master. He speaks very badly. He wants to see you by name."

"Oh?"

Xue Pan is here?

Feng Yibo frowned slightly, and said, "Did you bring officers and soldiers?"

"No, there are only two servants accompanying me."

Being able to make an exception and open the city gate in such a special period shows how strong the Xue family's connections in Jinling are.

However, as long as you don't bring officers and soldiers to arrest people, it's fine.

Feng Yibo nodded when he heard the words, and bowed his hands to Liu Zhao.

"The general is here to heal your wounds with peace of mind. If it goes well, maybe I will give you a great service."

"what?"

Liu Zhao's eyes widened when he heard this, but Feng Yibo had already taken people out.

He vaguely guessed what Feng Yibo was going to do, but he couldn't believe it.

After a while, he showed a wry smile and murmured:

"Is this because I am stupid in reading, or is it that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers? It seems that I will explain it here today!"

…………

Xue Pan led people to inquire all the way, and finally found Fengjiazhuang before dark.

Looking at the tall porch of Feng's mansion, Xue Pan, who was aggrieved all the way, cursed directly, calling Feng Yuan out by name.

Unexpectedly, just after a few curses, hundreds of people gathered at the gate of Feng's residence.

And all with all kinds of guys:

Some are holding pot lids, some are holding dung forks, some are holding hatchets...

This is normal.

There were even people dragging the old moso bamboo that was two feet long, and the branches on it were not pruned.

Although the equipment was not good enough, it still scared Xue Pan enough.

Just as he was at a loss, when the corner door of Feng's mansion opened, several people who came out couldn't help but tie him up.

"Prisoner! How dare you? Do you know who I am? I'm um..."

A rag was stuffed in his mouth.

Several people escorted him into the mansion and came to a small courtyard.

"elder brother!"

Xue Baochai stepped forward to untie the rope for him, and took the rag from his mouth.

After all, you are only twelve or thirteen years old, how can you not be afraid when you come to a strange place?
Seeing her brother at this time, she almost shed tears.

When Xue Pan saw his younger sister's eyes were red, he said angrily, "Baochai! What the hell did Feng Yuan do to you?"

"Brother, don't talk nonsense!"

Looking at her brother who was outspoken, Baochai habitually wanted to blame her.

But Xue Pan's face was full of worry, how could she bear it?

"At that time the gate of the city was closed suddenly, Mr. Feng was also caught off guard. He was afraid that I might make a mistake, so he brought me back to the mansion. He has always treated each other with courtesy and did not exceed the rules."

Hearing Baochai's explanation, Xue Pan resentfully said: "Forget that he is sensible, but this matter must not be finished!"

Japanese pirates may hit the door at any time, Feng Yibo has no time to entangle with Xue Pan.

So he directly sent someone to notify Xue Baochai, and someone on the other side tied up Xue Pan and sent him over.

At this time, Gouzi and Mengzi were behind him, and Zhuang Ding was assembled in front of him.

"You should have heard that Japanese pirates will come here to rob at any time."

Zhuang Ding has already lined up, just waiting for his order.

They have all heard of this group of Japanese pirates who have been robbing for a long time and their methods are brutal.

I heard that I'm going to come here, if I say I'm not afraid of anything, it must be a lie.

But as long as the little master gives an order, even the most timid are still willing to fight.

"The gate of Jinling City has been closed, we have no way out, we can only save ourselves!"

Although the equipment is different, everyone holds their chests up high and stands still like a mountain.

One by one, they stared ahead with firm eyes.

They don't know about other places, but there is no Zhuangzi around Jinling who is richer than their Zhuangzi.

This wealth is not the wealth of the owner, but all the households.

It was Feng Yibo who led them to live a better life and protected them from any bullying.

For most farmers, let alone Japanese pirates, even if the government came, they dared to go up and support them a few times.

"There are only 100 Japanese pirates, but we have 200!"

These 200 people are the result of Feng Yibo's years of practice.

"Moving like a mountain" is just the foundation.

The real killer feature is the mandarin duck array.

Since forming an array, they have never lost in the competition for water sources.

There are very few injuries.

"Everyone has it!"

After Feng Yibo's brief lecture, he directly issued an order: "Let's go to the entrance of the village to ambush, and if we encounter Japanese pirates, we will show no mercy!"

"Yes!"

Without any hesitation, more than 200 people roared.

The brothers and sisters of the Xue family in the yard were startled, thinking it was Japanese pirates.

The servants of the Feng family were not surprised, and explained the reason.

Zhuang Ding finished his training here, and headed towards the entrance of the village in the south.

Soon an ambush was laid at the entrance of the village relying on the terrain and houses.

Not long after, someone came to report in a low voice.

"Little master, the Japanese pirates are coming soon. They have more than 20 carriages, so they can only take the official route. They will come to us in a little more time."
