Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

"What should we do? Should we ask the people in the backyard to provide reinforcements?" Wan Qili asked Su Bai.

"We have only a dozen of us, do we still need reinforcements?" Su Bai asked Wan Qili to notify the people in Li's mansion, telling them to wake up those who were not asleep, wake up those who were asleep, put on their clothes, and prepare to retreat.

Ask Xu Tianyi to go to the front yard and invite Gao Hu over.

Gao Hu assured Su Bai not to worry, that if Kong Li's army came to cause trouble for Su Bai, he would be able to ensure Su Bai's safe departure.

After saying this, he hurried back to the front yard. He had to ask his brothers to get ready and monitor the movements of Captain Diantian's group of people.

I didn't take anything with me except the medicine, and it was too late to take it all away.

The preparations for escape were completed in a very short time, but Su Bai stomped his feet fiercely: "I am so confused!"

According to Gao Hu, Xiao Wei is absolutely reliable, not to mention Kong Dai. Even if Kong Dai and Xiao Wei are captured alive, at least they will not immediately confess the collusion between Su Bai and Yang Huasen. It is not yet time for them to prepare for fighting or escape.

Wan Qili smiled. She also thought Su Bai was too anxious.

Su Bai was so anxious that she didn't have time to think too much and quickly prepared for escape.

"The gunfire has stopped." Wan Qili pointed to the sky and said, "The battle was not fierce. I don't think it's as serious as my sister imagined."

Su Bai refuted her, saying that Yang Huasen sent people down to Beishankou to get food, and there wouldn't be many people, and some of them might not even carry guns, so it would be strange if the battle could be fierce.

Wan Qili had her reasons. If there was an exchange of fire with Kong Li's troops, there were only two possibilities. One was an exchange of fire with the sentries. The sentries were few in number and would not fire so many shots. The other was that the troops were discovered by the sentries and sent into the mountains.

Both possibilities are very small.

It is impossible to send troops into the mountains so quickly, unless Kong Li has ambushed troops at the north mountain pass in advance. In this case, it is impossible not to be discovered by Yang Huasen.

Su Bai felt that what Wan Qili said made sense, but she still felt that something was wrong. If neither possibility existed, how could a fight break out?

Xu Tianyi made another bold guess. Could it be that Yang Huasen informed Xu Laohei that food would be delivered up the mountain today and asked him to send people there as well?

The attack on Linhua was a joint effort by them. It was normal to give Xu Laohei some food at this time, but they did not expect that the amount of food delivered was so small. A conflict arose over the distribution of food, and they drew their guns in anger.

Su Bai said: "Your analysis makes sense. This possibility does exist, but you have made judgments before, and none of them were correct."

Xu Tianyi grinned when he heard Su Bai insulting him.

Gao Hu ran over from the front yard and told Su Bai that after hearing the gunshots, Company Commander Bai Ying led a platoon of people and asked a battalion of the provincial government to send two platoons to go up the mountain together.

"When did this happen?"

"Just left, five minutes at most!"

Wan Qili's judgment was confirmed. The gunfire stopped for a while before they started to go up the mountain. It was obvious that the army was not involved in this firefight.

"Look, I'm afraid I was right this time!" Xu Tianyi immediately became proud.

Gao Hu left after reporting the news. He will report any latest news at any time.

After spending nearly an hour in anxiety, Xiao Wei came back.

"What happened? Are you hurt?" Su Bai asked.

"Madam, the food was robbed." Xiao Wei was not injured.

He and Kong Dai drove to Beishankou. As soon as they met the people in the mountains, a group of people rushed down from the western hillside and started shooting without saying a word.

They had no choice but to fight while retreating into the mountains with Yang Huasen's men.

The gang didn't chase far before stopping.

When Xiao Wei and Kong Dai returned to the mountain pass from the mountains, they found that the carriage was still there, but the food and horses were gone.

At this moment, they discovered that there were troops from Longxing City coming in this direction. Xiao Wei and Kong Dai had no choice but to return to the mountains, take a long detour, and return to Longxing City from the east gate.

"Where's Kong Dai? Is he hurt?"

Kong Dai was not injured either. After returning, he went into Li's Mansion and asked Xiao Wei to tell the eldest young lady that he would stay at Li's Mansion for one night and would leave and go up the mountain tomorrow.

What Xiao Wei could be sure of was that these people who were stealing food were not Kong Li's army. Although it was dark and he couldn't see clearly, he knew that they were not wearing military uniforms.

"Where are Yang Huasen's people?" Su Bai asked again.

Xiao Wei said that there were more than a dozen people sent by Yang Huasen to collect the grain, and several of them were injured and went back to the mountains.

"Who might come to steal the food?" Su Bai suddenly thought of the second young lady. Excluding Kong Li's army, the only possibility was Xu Laohei.

Without saying a word, they opened fire. Either the conflict arose over the distribution of grain as Xu Tianyi said, or they came to steal grain. Did the Second Miss tell the Second Madam the news, and the Second Madam revealed it to Xu Laohei through his informant in Longxing?

Unexpectedly, after guessing for half the night, everyone's guesses were all wrong.

Gao Hu came to the backyard again and brought the latest news.

Captain Bai led his men to search the Beishankou area and brought back a carriage and a corpse.

This corpse is bald!

"Wearing monk's clothes?" Su Bai immediately thought of Dongtian Temple.

Everyone analyzed the situation over and over again and forgot that there was a group of bandits in Dongtian Temple.

Even though Gao Hu said that the bald man was not wearing Zhishang's clothes, Su Bai was certain that it was Tang Sanwa and his gang who did it.

Xiao Wei said that this group of people rushed down from the western hillside, and the hill to the west, which is not very high and has a very gentle slope, is exactly the one in front of Dongtian Temple. Who else could it be but them?

It was really the behavior of bandits. When their companions died, they didn't even take the bodies away, but left them directly in the wilderness.

Gao Hu said that it was a cloudy day today and there was no moonlight at all. Perhaps the bandits did not find their companions when they left. When they returned to Dongtian Temple and discovered that someone was missing and came out to look for them, Bai Ying had already arrived with his soldiers. They could only watch their companions' bodies being taken away.

"Madam, are you sure it was someone from Dongtian Temple who did this?" After Gao Hu asked this, Su Bai was not as sure as before, and asked Gao Hu in return: "Do you think there are other possibilities?"

Gao Hu shook his head, it’s hard to say.

"It should be them." Su Bai confirmed again.

"Isn't this simple?" Xu Tianyi said that he would catch the little monk again tomorrow and ask him everything would be clear.

The young monk was extremely angry at the bandits for abducting his mother into the temple. If they were really the ones who did it, the young monk would definitely tell them the truth.

"Don't arrest him, just stop him on the road and ask a few questions. Just wear a hood so he won't recognize you." Su Bai took out two dollars and gave them to Xu Tianyi: "Give this to the little monk."

When Su Bai was ready to go to bed, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Wan Qili gave Su Bai an idea that if it was confirmed that the monks from Dongtian Temple were responsible, then he should just let Yang Huasen send troops to destroy Dongtian Temple.
