The crying of Mrs. Yong'an Hou was miserable and sad.

Soon, a group of women started crying.

It is already miserable to confiscate the house and exile. Meeting such a bandit on the road is even more desperate and terrifying.

Pei Zhang glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Dear aunts and sisters, don't cry. I, Pei Zhang, swore to the sky and would definitely take you to Lingnan safely. The bandits want to hurt you unless they step on my body."

Pei Jue echoed without hesitation: "And I am!"

Some Pei family men also said in unison: "We are there!"

The Pei family's female relatives cried gradually stopped.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou couldn't cry anymore, wiped her tears with her sleeves, lowered her voice and said, "Well, why do you do this? When it's really critical, I would rather you escape first. We women, children, and elderly people will die. With you here, the Pei family can never extinguish the incense and continue to pass on it."

"Azhang, you promise me. No matter when it comes, you must protect yourself first. Now you are the only one. You must not have something wrong with you."

Mrs. Yong'an's eyes were already hurt by crying, and she could only see a few feet clearly. At this time, the red eyes were filled with sadness and sorrow.

Pei Zhang felt soft and nodded: "Okay, I promise my mother."

Mrs. Yong'an Hou looked at Pei Jue again: "A Jue, from now on, you and A Zhang will never get along. If a cold arrow comes, you can stand up and protect your brother."

Pei Jue: "..."

Pei Zhang: "..."

With such a legitimate mother, the two brothers have not yet turned against each other, which shows that they are really in love with each other.

Pei Zhang twitched his lips and winked at Pei Jue helplessly.

Pei Jue nodded slightly and turned around silently to see the injured.

"Mother, don't say anything like this anymore, and you can't think about it anymore." Pei Zhang whispered: "The Pei family has reached this point, and the tribesmen must work together and brothers will work together. My mother said this not only hurt my second brother's heart, but also made me, the brother, feel ashamed."

As soon as Mrs. Yong'an said something, she felt inappropriate. After her son said this, she felt guilty in her heart: "I was confused for a moment and said the wrong thing. I will never say it again."

Pei Zhang reminded with a blank expression: "You can't think about it anymore."

Mrs. Yong'an Hou nodded and muttered in her heart. She couldn't say that, but she couldn't think about it quietly. In her heart, no one was as important as her own son Pei Zhang.

After settling until midnight, the exhausted people stopped.

Pei Zhang found Pei Jue and said apologetically: "Second brother, my mother is speechless for a moment, don't take it to heart."

Tribulations will make people grow up quickly. Pei Jue's handsome face has more awesome wind and frost that has not been seen for several days. He also suffered some minor injuries tonight, and was bandaged with medicine.

Pei Jue smiled and said, "How could I mind if my mother says casually?" He paused, half-joking and half-mocked himself: "I have been used to hearing similar words since I was a child."

Mrs. Yong'an Marquis never treated Pei Jue harshly, but she never treated her kindly. Anyway, Pei Jue was used to being cold and cold-eyed, and Pei Jue was used to seeing it.

Pei Zhang couldn't help but smile helplessly: "She has this temper and can't change her life. For my sake, please take care of her!"

Pei Jue quickly opened the topic and whispered: "Brother, so many bandits died tonight, so he had to send the corpses of these bandits to the government office."

Pei Zhang said lightly: "This is the matter of Commander Li, so don't interfere in your affairs."

Pei Jue nodded.

...

Commander Li sent two soldiers back to Beijing to deliver letters overnight.

What he didn't know was that when the two soldiers rode on horseback, they were stopped and killed by more than ten black-clad bandits. The secret message was burned, and the two soldiers were buried in the dense forest next to the official road.

Three days later, Commander Li realized something was wrong and whispered to Pei Zhang: "We only walked forty miles in one day. The night we met the bandits, we walked more than two hundred miles in total. The soldiers who sent the letter returned to Beijing on fast horses and arrived at the capital in one day and one night. Now it's time to catch up with us."

"They have never heard from me. Could it be that something went wrong halfway?"

A cold light flashed in Pei Zhang's eyes and he said slowly: "If I guessed correctly, the person who sent the letter had been intercepted and killed halfway. That secret message would not have been passed to the capital."

Commander Li suddenly changed his expression: "These 'bandits' are simply bold!"

Pei Zhang's expression did not move and said lightly: "Those 'bandits' specially picked out the inn to take action. I think the government office that was recently released was also 'handled'. The incident of the Pei family meeting bandits halfway was probably being pressed on the desk and it would not be spread to the capital."

If it cannot be spread to the capital, it will not be spread to the emperor and the prince.

In short, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The further away from the capital, the more courageous the "bandits" are.

Anger flashed in Commander Li's eyes.

Pei Zhang whispered again: "Commander Li, these bandits are unknown, but they are obviously not good for our Pei family. We will definitely take action again in the next journey."

"We don't know how many people there are on the other side, where they hide, and when they will take action. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, which is quite unfavorable to us."

"But they are not completely scruples. At least, they only dare to appear in the face of bandits, only dare to attack when it is dark. They dare not speak out and dare not spread it to the capital."

"This is their weakness. If we want to break this situation, we must take advantage of this weakness."

"I have a plan that will make them in a dilemma. Commander Li listen to me..."

Commander Li listened, thought for a moment, and then responded.

...

From the next day, Commander Li sent people to the streets and towns near the official road to buy a large amount of food and food. Soon, vendors came to hear the news.

The Pei clan and the Imperial Army soldiers were more than 1,000. They no longer ate dry food, but instead opened the stove to cook. They could travel forty miles a day, but now they are even slower, so they only walk forty miles a day.

More than a thousand people have a stove every day, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables, rice and grain. The amount they need is really large.

Commander Li did not restrict big vendors and small vendors. He would buy them as long as a vendor sent them. The price was twice the average market price.

The vendors are the most informed. They have such suckers... No, they must not let go of such generous customers.

Some clever vendors simply brought goods and followed the big customer. They went all the way to sell goods and earned money.

Soon, the news spread like the wind.

Even the people on the streets and alleys used this matter as an interesting discussion.
