Chapter 259 Orphans from an Enemy Country
Orphans from an Enemy Country?!
In the Jiang Family courtyard, Feng and the village chief stared with their eyes wide open. They could not believe that such an incredible thing could happen.
Although Qingquan Village and Dalui Village did not have much contact, they were still on speaking terms. They even sold food together during the autumn harvest every year.
Who would have thought that those farmers who were usually honest and could chat with them would actually be the descendants of an enemy country with whom they had a blood feud.
Feng's scalp went numb, "Could it be that although these people have lived in our Nanji for many years, they still have Pibei in their hearts and are always ready to work for Pibei?"
Jiang Fengze narrowed his eyes in disgust, "Yes, back then the Pibei people were so angry that the old, the weak, women and children were all soldiers. After they were defeated, they left these people behind. Although they eat the rice of our Nanji, they have never forgotten their motherland. They are just waiting for the day to stab us in the back and help Pibei deal with us!" Everyone
couldn't help but get angry, and their fists were clenched harder than stones.
"These people are too cruel. They have lived in Qingquan Village for so many years. Even if they don't care about others, don't they care about their relatives and friends around them, and the villagers in the same village?" Jiang Fenghu shook his head in unbearable pain.
Speaking of the bloody battle back then, it has been forty-three years if you count carefully.
During that period, it was a time of chaos among the surrounding countries. The Southern Ji Kingdom had just defeated the Tartars, and then encountered the invasion of Xibei.
Taking advantage of the situation, they took Xibei in one go, causing hundreds of thousands of Xibei soldiers to die here, and the streets were stained with blood.
Xibei was originally a small country, and this battle caused great damage to its vitality, and its national strength has been further weakened since then.
But I never thought that they would leave remnants here.
Soon, Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi talked back and forth, revealing all the other activities of the Pibei people.
It turned out that two months ago, the secret agents of the Pibei Kingdom disguised themselves as fishermen from Bocheng and took the opportunity to sneak into Yuncheng to ambush.
In order to facilitate the collection of intelligence, they also awakened the orphans to help, which led to the Qingquan Village incident.
Although Changbai City is the first target of the Pibei, once it cannot be defended, then Yuncheng will be the second city in their plan.
In order to be able to gain an unstoppable advantage in the north, the Pibei people have a clear plan to capture Yuncheng.
"This time, taking advantage of the seafood from Bocheng entering the market, the spies from Pibei disguised themselves as fishermen and have slipped into the city with more than 200 people. They want to find out the situation of Yuncheng's soldiers and generals, as well as the city defense arrangements, so that they can work together with the main force to break into our Yuncheng." Xiao Lanyi crossed her arms, with a little fear in her tone.
Fortunately, this matter was discovered in advance, and the actions of the Pibei spies were constrained, so they did not succeed.
Feng listened with bated breath, her mouth opened wider than an egg.
Does this mean that Pibei also has its eyes on Yuncheng? Want to destroy their family?
These thieves really deserve to die!
Feng grabbed Fengze's shoulder again and asked, "What about the last time they wanted to take our radish seeds? It seems that they didn't do it for money."
Jiang Fengze nodded immediately, "You are right, mother. The Qingquan Village was supported by Pibei in the early years, and they made their fortune by doing textiles in the village. They would not be greedy for the money from selling radishes."
"Because radishes are really rare and come from Persia. The small country of Pibei couldn't get Persian tribute, so their spies became greedy and wanted to take the opportunity to get some seeds back and present them to their king as a way of currying favor. But they didn't expect something went wrong."
At this point, Jiang Fengze finally smiled.
"Come to think of it, it was a blessing in disguise for us. If it weren't for that radish, I'm afraid we wouldn't even know about the existence of the Pibei spies."
The tense atmosphere in the yard finally eased.
The village chief picked up the cigarette pot and sipped it in confusion, "So, although we were wronged in that matter, it was actually a good thing?"
Old Li stood up from the ground, a little excited, "If that's the case, our Daliu Village has made contributions! If we hadn't been wronged, we wouldn't have been able to get involved in these messy, black-hearted, and dirty things!"
Xiao Lanyi was easy-going and laughed and joked, "Uncle Li is right, all of us have made contributions. If there is a time to reward people based on their merits, I will definitely invite everyone in our village!"
"Hahaha, that would be great." The village chief and Old Li immediately laughed so hard that they fell backwards.
But of course, this was just a joke, and the two old men didn't take it seriously.
In the yard, after everyone had laughed, it was almost time for dinner, so Feng put on her apron and asked everyone to stay and eat together.
Steam a pot of snow-white rice, stew some pickled cabbage and pork belly, and make some scrambled eggs with black fungus. It was a simple meal.
The village chief and Old Li were eating so much that they couldn't raise their heads. They praised Li Qiqiao's cooking skills. The eggs were fried golden and fragrant, which was really delicious.
But Jiang Fengze was still a little worried while fiddling with his bowl.
At present, although a few spies were caught, there were more than 200 northern thieves pouring into Yuncheng.
Some of them even knew the inside story of the Changbai City barracks. If they could catch them all and get some important information, it would definitely help to defeat the enemy in Changbai City.
However, these northern thieves were too cunning and often changed their hideouts in the city, so they could not be caught at all.
After lunch, Jiang Fengze immediately returned to Liaodong Camp to do his work, while the village chief sat on the edge of the kang, feeling more and more uncomfortable.
It would be fine for others, but it was the upright man in Qingquan Village. The village chief had used him as a role model and praised him to everyone he met.
Thinking that the person he admired so much was actually a thief from the enemy country, the village chief felt like he had eaten a fly, and he felt very uncomfortable.
"I am really old and my eyesight is blurry. How could I mistake a thief for a treasure?" The village chief looked "resented" and a little depressed.
Old Li couldn't bear to see him feel sad for others, so he waved his hand and said, "Why don't you try? That's nothing. At most, I will take you to beat him up. We can't let him fool us for nothing!"
