Chapter 342 The storm is coming
Here in the Yunzhou military camp, the eldest prince and the military advisor were also discussing the bandits in Qingfeng Village.
"Military Advisor, how many days will it take for the soldiers you sent to reinforce Li Huailiang to arrive?"
"Your Highness, I am sending soldiers from the nearest place. According to the time, they will arrive in two days."
"Military Advisor, how many soldiers did you send over?"
"One thousand men. Originally, I was planning to send five hundred men. However, thinking of the young master, I finally decided to send one thousand men."
The eldest prince looked at the sand table on the table and said, "With a thousand people, plus the people brought by Li Huailiang, we should be able to wipe out the bandits in Qingfeng Village."
The military advisor shook his head and said, "Grand Prince, although we have more people, we still need to send some soldiers to the outside of Shilin Town to protect the refugees and the young prince."
"Strictly speaking, we are not completely sure that we can wipe out all the bandits in Qingfeng Village without leaving a single one alive."
"What the military advisor said makes sense. When two armies are fighting, any small detail will affect the final outcome."
"What the eldest prince said is true. We are far away now. We can only wait for Li Huailiang to get the result and then send a pigeon to us."
"I hope everything goes smoothly and Rui'er comes back soon. I wonder how much taller Rui'er has grown?"
"My Lord, Li Huailiang did tell me about this. He said that the young master is much taller now. He is also darker and thinner than before."
"However, the young master is in good spirits. It is said that the family that took him in is very kind-hearted."
"They treat the young master the same as their own children, make him work the same way, and eat the same way. They say they will never beat or scold the young master."
"To be precise, after they took the young master back home, they have always been nice to him. The young master also gets along very well with that family."
The eldest prince was fascinated by what he heard. "I never thought that during this time of fleeing famine, there would be people who would love a child they picked up as if it were their own child."
"That family is so kind. It's Rui'er's blessing to meet them."
The military advisor said happily, "Grand Prince, the young master has always been very lucky. And after going through this great adversity, the young master will surely have smooth sailing in the future."
The eldest prince laughed loudly, "Then I will borrow the military advisor's good words."
"By the way, when the refugees come to Yunzhou, remember to tell the people below to give them more convenience."
"They are still fleeing from famine, so it is not appropriate to thank them in a big way. Let's wait until they come to Yunzhou."
"Your Highness, your consideration makes sense. I will pass this matter on."
"Okay, Military Advisor, let's discuss the recent unrest on the border."
"I obey my orders."
In the meeting hall of Qingfeng Village, the boss sat in the first seat.
"Second brother, third brother, is there anything unusual in Shilin Town recently?"
"Brother, there are many peddlers coming to Shilin Town recently. They go to the refugee group outside the city every day."
The boss was a little surprised, "Are there many peddlers?"
"Brother, there are quite a few of them. Moreover, my men said that these peddlers are very fast runners. They go out every morning and come back in the afternoon when the sun sets."
"Then didn't you send someone to follow the peddlers to see if they were selling anything?"
"Brother, don't worry about that. They are really peddlers. They go out every day with full loads on their shoulders, and come back in the afternoon with empty loads."
"I don't know where this peddler came from. He is so good at doing business that he even doesn't let refugees go."
"Yes, big brother. Those refugees are extremely poor. I guess those peddlers only earn a hard-earned living."
"We can't take it lightly. Keep sending people to keep an eye on those peddlers and report whenever they leave."
"Okay, brother. I'll remember this."
The eldest boss glanced at the third brother and said, "Third brother, is there anything going on in the village recently?
"Brother, I supervise everyone's training every day. Besides, there are not many people coming from outside the village, so everything is normal."
"That's good. We should pay more attention to the front and back doors of the village. Ask the gatekeepers to drink less at night."
"Don't worry, big brother, I'll tell you in a moment."
"That's good. Second and third brother, you two should also be alert. Come to me if you see anything unusual."
"Got it, big brother."
"Brother, don't worry. If there is anything unusual, I will come to you as soon as possible."
"Okay, you two go out."
The second and third in command quickly retreated, and the first in command sat there motionless.
He didn't know what was going on lately and always felt a little uneasy.
However, everything was normal in the mountain village, and there was nothing unusual in Shilin Town.
What went wrong?
The eldest master felt that he must have overlooked something. However, he was recently busy making a detailed account of the money and food that he had transported to the second prince some time ago.
Therefore, we can only wait until he is done with this busy period, and then carefully investigate what is wrong.
The most leisurely people right now are probably the Yun brothers and sisters who are climbing the mountain.
For Yun Yiyi, as long as there is no fighting outside, she has to go up the mountain to find food.
At this time, Yun Yiyi and the three brothers of the Yun family had already arrived at the place where they dug yam in the morning.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, do you want to go with me or wait for me here?"
"Yiyi, I need to rest here for a while. You go by yourself."
Brother Yun San sat down on the ground and didn't want to get up.
"Yiyi, why don't you go by yourself. You'll be faster if you go alone."
"Yes, Yiyi. Lao Er is right. We will wait for you here."
Yun Yiyi smiled and said, "Okay then, big brother, second brother, third brother, I'll go first."
"it is good."
Yun Yiyi didn't choose a direction and walked straight ahead.
The old method was to use a stick to clear a path, so wherever Yun Yiyi walked, there were only weeds lying on the ground.
After walking for about half an hour, Yun Yiyi stopped.
She looked back and saw Brother Yun and the others here.
She looked to her left and right again, and saw nothing but grass, shorter trees, and thorny bushes.
As for the food, she didn't find anything edible.
There was no choice but to pick up the stick and keep moving forward.
After moving forward for another half an hour, Yun Yiyi finally made a discovery.
She held the stick with her hand and looked at a golden tree more than 20 meters away with a happy face.
That's right, it was a persimmon tree that had lost all its leaves.
Actually, there are not many persimmon trees on the mountain.
Yun Yiyi wandered around the nearby mountains and only found less than ten persimmon trees.
There are not many other peach trees and hawthorn trees.
Yun Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, at least she would not return empty-handed this afternoon.
