There was no suspense about what happened next. Blind Wang led a dozen cavalrymen and killed Yuan Li and more than 20 guards.

After the counterattack, in order to retaliate and conceal his traces, Blind Wang simply refused to do anything and turned around to kill Lijiazhuang.

It's better now, Yuan Li's family is also dead.

At the same time, when Blind Wang returned, his men not only brought with them the chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep they originally purchased, but also brought an additional batch of chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep, as well as a large amount of grain. In addition, there was also a large amount of gold, silver, and soft materials.

It loaded more than thirty carriages...

In fact, the manor of Mr. Li's wife's family had a lot of grain and other goods, and the carriages, mules and horses carried by Wang Xiazi and the others themselves or captured were not enough.

Therefore, I could only pick out some valuable and necessary things to take away. As for the remaining things that could not be taken away, Blind Wang did not take care of them, but just left.

After Wang Xiazi and the others left, the villagers hiding in the distance came out one after another, and then went to Li's house to check the situation...

Immediately afterwards, one person moved out the food, and two people moved out the food. Not long after, dozens or hundreds of people came in and moved all the remaining belongings of the Li family. It was not known who set the fire, and the entire Li house was also on fire.

There was a raging fire.

There is nothing to say about Blind Wang's operations. They are all routine operations. When Li Tonglin was still alive, they often did this.

But the problem is...

In the past, when Li Tonglin was still alive, they were rogue bandits who ran around everywhere and were not afraid of provoking officers and soldiers at all.

However, now, Sun Chengli and Luo Zhixue have decided to hide in Funiu Mountain for a period of time to cultivate and recuperate.

This is why we need to keep a low profile to avoid attracting the attention of officers and soldiers, which will then attract a large number of officers and soldiers to enter the mountain for encirclement and suppression.

However, the Lijiacun incident broke this low-key strategy.

Just two days later, when the son of member Li who was studying in the county school learned of the bad news about the Li family, he quickly handed a blood letter to the master of Lushan County, begging the county master for the tragic death of Li at the hands of the rebels.

Dozens of members of the family take revenge.

This is actually not important. Many Zhuangzi have been robbed by bandits, including one like Lijiazhuang.

The important thing is that the situation reported by Li's son was somewhat special, which attracted the attention of local officials.

According to Li Yuanwai's son, hundreds of thieves looted Li's village that day, including dozens of armored knights.

Ordinary hundreds of thieves, these officials don't bother to take a look. After all, hundreds of thieves are everywhere, and they don't have the energy to pay attention.

But the sudden appearance of dozens of armored knights attracted their attention instantly.

This is definitely not an ordinary thief!

Soon, officers and soldiers went to Lijiazhuang to investigate the situation, trying to find out from the ordinary people in Lijiazhuang the situation of the bandits who attacked Lijiazhuang.

However, the ordinary people in Lijiazhuang did not know the whole story. When the incident happened, they all hid far away and did not even come close to the Lijiazhuang.

Moreover, after the thieves left, everyone swarmed into the Li family and emptied the remaining food from the Li family. Not to mention the food, even the door panels were torn down and taken away.

Some people were afraid that their robbery of the Li family's property would be exposed, which would lead to retaliation from the Li family. After all, the Li family had relatives, and the Li family's son also studied in the county school. Therefore, while looting, some villagers also ordered

After a few fires, the huge Li family manor was completely burned down.

Now that the officers and soldiers came over to investigate the situation, many villagers naturally leaked the information and exposed their robbery of the Li family's property.

In this regard, the officers and soldiers were too lazy to pay attention to it. They casually executed a few villagers who didn't like it, which gave the son of the Li family an explanation, and then 'confiscated' the property of the Li family that they had robbed. Most of these properties were led by the team.

The leaders of the officers and soldiers regarded them as personal trophies, and a few were distributed to the soldiers. They have nothing to do with the Li family anyway.

But, they still couldn't get the details of the rebel army from these villagers.

It was quite chaotic at that time, and the villagers had no time to hide. It was close to Li's house. Only a few people saw a large group of thieves coming from a distance, but many of their statements were contradictory.

Some say that there were at least five or six hundred thieves attacking the Li family manor, while others say that there were only more than a hundred thieves at that time.

There is no accurate number of the number of people, let alone asking them to tell how many elite riders there are.

But one thing is certain, that is, there are definitely elite cavalry among the incoming bandits, and there are quite a lot of them.

After the situation in Lijiazhuang was reported to Lushan City, the respected master of Lushan County also realized that the matter was unusual, and on the one hand, he strengthened the defense of Lushan County.

At the same time, spies were sent to inquire around, trying to find out the gang of thieves who attacked the Li family manor.

A group of bandits with at least dozens of elite riders have arrived in Lushan County. This is a big deal.

Because according to past experience, thief armies with such elite cavalry are often large-scale thief armies.

It is impossible for ordinary bandits with hundreds or even thousands of people to have such an elite cavalry.

In addition, and more importantly, the bandits composed of ordinary refugees are easy to deal with, but the bandits composed of elite cavalry are not easy to deal with.

Even the respected master of Lushan County doubted whether there were large groups of bandits, or even famous rebels who had come to his Lushan County.

This matter must be taken seriously.

————

Blind Wang naturally did not know that Lushan County had begun to dispatch troops at this time, but he still knew very well that he had poked a hornet's nest and initially exposed his traces, which would most likely attract the attention of the officers and soldiers.<

/p>

So they didn't stop, and ran all the way after leaving Lijiazhuang. It didn't take long for them to return to the edge of the mountain, and they were initially out of danger.

However, although his side has escaped from the initial danger, Wang Xiazi is still worried that the officers and soldiers will follow their tracks to the mountains and find Sanshui Village.

After all, it is difficult for their team to be dozens of people and to carry so many carriages to completely hide their traces. Even if he has led people in a small circle, the final destination is still Funiu Mountain.

There is no guarantee that officers and soldiers will not find Funiu Mountain.

So after returning to the mountain, he did not stop, but continued on the road with his people, and first sent people to rush back to Sanshui Village to report the relevant situation.

While the fast horses dispatched by Blind Man Wang were still climbing mountains and wading in rivers, Luo Zhixue and others in Sanshui Village did not know yet that Blind Man Wang had been forced to expose his traces outside.

Luo Zhixue and Sun Chengli are in a good mood now!

And the reason why they are in a good mood is because of Song Tiejiang’s family.

Blacksmith Song and his family had just arrived in Sanshui Village the day before yesterday. On the day they arrived, Luo Zhixue, as the specific person in charge of the weapons workshop, personally greeted Blacksmith Song and his family and had a cordial conversation.

During the conversation, Luo Zhixue, on behalf of the board of directors of Sanshui Village Rebel Co., Ltd. and on behalf of the company's chairman Sun Lili, expressed warm welcome to Song Tiejiang and his son for joining the great rebellion cause in Sanshui Village, and personally helped Song Tiejiang and his family solve their daily problems.

many difficulties, such as arranging housing, food, workplace, personal security, etc.

At the same time, he expressed to Blacksmith Song and his son that the company's board of directors attached great importance to them and the importance of self-produced and repaired ordnance. He hoped that Blacksmith Song and his son would get into work as soon as possible and make more and better guns and swords for their lives.

Ideal, use 10,000% enthusiasm to contribute to the company's rebellion.

Finally, Luo Zhixue reiterated the company's great importance to the R&D department and production department, and reiterated the company's generous treatment of high-tech talents.

At the same time, he expressed euphemistically that the army was in urgent need of artillery, and he hoped that the Song family and his son would regard the company as their home and start building artillery as soon as possible...

Xu He, the left army sentry who ran over to watch the excitement, listened to Luo Zhixue's words and murmured in his heart: "He is indeed the most valued scholar by the general, and he can express threats and inducements in such a fresh and refined way!

If it were an old farmer like him, the back-and-forth would probably be like this: "You guys are clean, if you make a cannon, the whole family will be popular, but if you can't make a cannon, the whole family will die...

After Luo Zhixue settled the family of Song Tiejiang, Song Tiejiang and his two sons expressed their intention to start work as soon as possible on the same day.

Therefore, today Luo Zhixue and Sun Chengli saw a waist knife that was repaired by Blacksmith Song himself and assisted by his two sons.

Luo Zhixue was holding a knife and looked left and right. The blade was slightly curved and the tip had a reverse edge, which could be used to chop or stab.

The style of this knife is very common. It is used by people like them. It is also a waist knife used on a large scale by the Ming army.

Luo Zhixue looked carefully at the steel-wrapped blade!

Because this is a knife with an iron body covered with steel, its main feature is that the blade has been surface hardened to make it sharper and harder.

The knife had a chip after a battle before, and Blacksmith Song and the others repaired the chip this time.

Just looking at the surface, you can tell that the repair quality of this knife is much better than what Luo Zhixue could repair before relying on his own theoretical knowledge and people who had never touched it before. After the repair is completed, it is completely impossible to see the previous damage.

Passed.

After chopping on the wood for a while, I found that the knife was still quite sharp and strong.

On the other side, Sun Chengli also held a knife repaired by the same blacksmith Song for testing.

It can be seen that Sun Chengli was very satisfied with the repaired knife. He showed a kind face and said to Blacksmith Song on the spot: "Master Song has such skills, I am relieved!"

"Master Song, from now on you can work here with peace of mind. Don't worry, I, Sun Mazi, will never treat my own people badly!"

With that said, he turned to Luo Zhixue and said: "Military advisor, go back and increase the food supply for the Song family by another 30%. After all, blacksmithing is a strenuous job, so it's not enough if you don't eat enough."

"Well, send another piece of cloth to the Song family."

Sun Chengli was very satisfied with Blacksmith Song's small test of skills. He immediately raised the food standards for Blacksmith Song and his family and gave him cloth.

After being told to play, Sun Chengli did not stay and left quickly.

After Sun Chengli left, Luo Zhixue did not leave. He had to find Blacksmith Song to discuss how to cause the artillery to come.

Although they also need swords and spears, they are not in urgent need of them, but artillery is urgently needed.
