After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

The third in command walked out of Fu'an Pavilion and quickly disappeared into the night.

Old Fan did not leave. He winked at the person he brought with him, and that person also disappeared into the night.

After waiting for half an hour, the man came back.

"Master Fan, we lost them. They reacted quickly and split into several groups to leave the city gate."

Old Fan nodded in agreement and did not return to the camp on the mountain. Instead, he went to the yamen to find Lord Wu.

Several people chatted in the study until late at night, and Lao Fan and Master Qian slept directly in the county government office.

The next morning, Lao Fan led his men back to the mountain.

Several garrison officers heard the reply in Lord Li's camp and continued to discuss the follow-up.

The garrison sent people to attack the mountain stronghold every day, but the noise was loud and the movements were slow.

The Shanzhai side also cooperated, but was beaten badly every time.

Neither side killed anyone. The biggest injury in recent days was caused by a person who lost his seat and fell off his horse.

The people in Wu'an City were very excited when they heard the shouts of fighting and killing from the mountains and the good news reaching the county government every day.

Yang Fan is smart but not very good at fighting. He is responsible for gathering information in the city every day.

That day, Ye Qing brought people to deliver wine to the city and saw that strange man again.

Ye Qing pointed the man to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan nodded, picked up a small jar of wine, and followed from a distance.

Ye Xuan was dressed casually and had taken off the pads in his shoes. He walked with a limp and the man didn't notice him at all.

Ye Xuan watched people enter a house. He passed by calmly. The door of the house was closed tightly and there was no sound from inside.

Ye Xuan walked around a street and saw that no one was following him before he went to look for Ye Qing.

"Qingya, that person entered the fifth house in the alley, and there was nothing unusual to see from the outside."

Ye Qing still felt something was wrong, so he found a young man with an unfamiliar face in the convoy and asked him to investigate.

The boy was from the Wang family. When he came out for the first time, everyone called him Wang Dayan because his eyes were big and round.

Wang Dayan was as fearless as a newborn calf and went to the alley with a jar of wine.

When they arrived at the house, they knocked on the door and said, "Master Yang, the wine you ordered is delivered to you."

After knocking twice, no one answered. Wang Dayan continued to knock on the door and shouted loudly.

The people inside were afraid of attracting other people's attention, so they opened the door and cursed.

"What are you shouting for? This is not Mr. Yang's house. You've come to the wrong place."

Wang Dayan looked puzzled, "Isn't this the fifth house in Yangjia Hutong? This is the address Mr. Yang left for me."

The man glared at Wang Dayan and said, "You've come to the wrong place. The alley ahead is the right one."

Wang Dayan held the wine in his arms and quickly apologized. He looked at the closed door and turned to the alley in front.

Wang Dayan walked out of the alley, and the door that had just been closed quietly opened a crack again. A man came out and followed Wang Dayan.

Only when he saw Wang Dayan knock on the door of the house in the alley in front and pass the wine in did he stop suspecting anything.

Wang Dayan glanced and saw that the person who followed him had left, so he gave the wine to the family and went to look for Ye Qing.

"Qingya, this family is not right. I saw a knife in the main room. Although he closed the door quickly, I still caught a glimpse of it."

Ye Qing looked solemn, but decided to go to the county government office.

They first went to Queran Tower to deliver the wine, and these people helped move the wine to the restaurant cellar.

Ye Qing left through the back door and went to the county government office.

Before I reached the county government office, I met Zhang, the yamen runner, who was out for dinner.

"Uncle Zhang, come out for dinner."

Yi Zhang was a little surprised that the girl knew him.

"Girl, you know me."

Ye Qing walked up to him, took out a jar of wine from the basket and handed it to Zhang the yamen runner.

"Uncle Zhang, my father asked me to bring you a jar of wine."

While handing over the wine, he whispered her identity and discovery.

Yayi Zhang said in a cooperative tone, "Your father is too polite. I told you not to send it to me, but he still asked you to come."

After Ye Qing finished speaking, he looked at Zhang the yamen runner, nodded, and said goodbye and left.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm leaving. If I go back too late, my family will be worried."

"Go back quickly and give your father good luck." The yamen runner Zhang watched Ye Qing leave and quickly returned to the yamen.

At the garrison, on a dark and windy night, the third in command came to the outside of the camp.

Lao Fan sneaked out and made an appointment when the two were fighting during the day.

"Lord Fan, do you have any instructions?" The third in command spoke first.

Lao Fan told him the results of the discussion at the garrison and also explained what they needed to cooperate with.

"What our lord means is that you have to send a few people over there for us to take back for the mission. These people will be exiled later, and we don't care whether they live or die on the way."

The third in command understood what was said, and left Wuan City, paid some money, and escaped back.

He didn't dare to make the decision on this matter and would have to discuss it with the people in the village when he returned.

"Master Fan, is there anything else?"

Lao Fan continued, "We also need you and your eldest boss to come out and fight with our Lord Li. You pretend to be defeated and fall down."

The third in command became cautious, and since it involved his own safety, he couldn't help but ask more questions.

"Lord Li is wise and brave, and his martial arts are very powerful. We are definitely no match for him."

Lao Fan gave him a sensible look and let him continue speaking.

"We just fell down, how are you going to take us out?" The third in command definitely didn't want to go out with them. Once they went out, it would be too late for them to regret.

Lao Fan guessed that he would ask this question, "You are very familiar with this area. Is there any place that looks like a cliff but can actually hide people underneath? Our masters will beat you down, and you will leave from underground. We will announce to the public that you fell off the cliff and died."

The third in command pondered for a while and found that there really was such a place. There was a platform underneath, and it was connected to a cave, and he could leave through the cave.

Outsiders don't know about this place until he was a naughty kid and fell down and discovered it.

Lao Fan saw that he was about to speak and quickly stopped him.

"There's no need to tell us where to go. We know you're worried about us. When the time comes, you can fight and retreat while leading our master over."

After hearing this, the Third Master felt relieved. These officials were good at cheating, they just wanted both money and official positions.

"Sir, we will definitely use all our strength and the scene will definitely be spectacular."

Old Fan nodded with satisfaction. If he could win with just two casual hits, how could it demonstrate Lord Li’s bravery and strength.

Lao Fan continued with his last request, "For one year, you are not allowed to go down the mountain to rob caravans."

The three families silently repeated the three requests in their minds and went back to discuss them with the boss.

Old Fan looked at the back of the third in command as he left, a mysterious smile on his face.

The next day, the guards did not come to challenge, and the three leaders of the mountain stronghold sat together to discuss.

After hearing about the place, the eldest boss took the third boss to visit it in the evening.

There are several exits in that cave, and it would be impossible to block all the exits without hundreds of people.
