Chapter 457 Dilemma
The whole journey was in a hurry, and everyone was suffering physically and mentally.
In Daliu Village, life was even more difficult.
The villagers didn't feel hungry even if they didn't eat a single grain of rice or water. They all had red eyes, hoping to get a chance to get rid of these thieves!
But Xiao Jinshan was cunning and shrewd. How could an eagle be fooled by a chicken ?
Although he asked the women in the village to prepare meals, he always sent his men to watch over them. He
never gave them a chance to do anything.
As for the young and strong men in the village, they were all gathered together and made weapons for Xiao the thief day and night.
The village chief and his family were also locked up in the woodshed.
On the one hand, it was to scare the villagers, and on the other hand, it was to make the villagers "insects" leaderless.
Nowadays, there are no guests in the huge Xianquan Residence.
Xiao Jinshan has one of the houses to himself.
After the battle of Dalai City, his 100,000-man army was scattered.
Only more than a hundred elite soldiers were left. They were his loyal followers and were willing to protect him while he was escaping.
On the way to escape, in order to avoid being hunted down, Xiao Jinshan did not dare to take the main road.
When they fled to Yuncheng, they could not run anymore, so they could only find a hilltop and hide for a long time.
But the food in the mountains was really limited, which was not enough for more than a hundred men to fill their stomachs.
After enduring for a month or so, Xiao Jinshan could not bear it anymore, so he wanted to find a village to live in, and he happened to meet Ju Jiao.
At this moment, the Jiang family's hot spring was filled with mist, and Xiao Jinshan was closing his eyes, enjoying the long-lost relaxation.
After a quarter of an hour, the wrinkles on his body were almost stretched out by the soak.
Back in the yard, sitting on the rattan chair, Xiao Jinshan leaned back and squinted his eyes in comfort.
"I can't believe that such a small village can have such enjoyment. I'm afraid that the rich and powerful in the city can't compare to them." He nodded continuously.
After coming to the village for many days, Xiao Jinshan felt that this was really a treasure land.
But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something and sat up carefully.
"Oh, right." Xiao Jinshan glanced at his subordinates. "I asked you to ask why this inconspicuous village is in such a good situation and why the villagers are so wealthy. Did you find out?"
The man at the side prepared tea and nodded. "Your Highness, we have asked some villagers. They all said that there was a wealthy businessman in the village. He became rich later and built these big houses in the village. Then he left the village to do business in the southern province."
Xiao Jinshan was suspicious by nature. "Rich businessman? Then have you asked what the name of this wealthy businessman is, where in the southern province he went, and what business he did?"
The subordinates were stunned. "This... I didn't ask."
"Ask again!" Xiao Jinshan shook his head, "If the villagers are all unanimous in their words, then this person really exists, and a mere wealthy businessman is nothing to be afraid of. But if they are all hesitant, then it means that their village is lying, which means that their village is of great importance. We are fugitives and cannot be taken lightly!"
After all, they are hiding here now.
I'm afraid that there is someone of great importance in the village, then we can't hide here anymore.
After finishing the business, all the men withdrew.
Xiao Jinshan looked at the lonely yard, touched his crippled knees, and his face showed loneliness.
It seems that he has been fighting for power and profit for half his life, and in the end, he can only hide in the village as a "local emperor".
And he is even more lonely. Along the way, he didn't even have a relative to accompany him.
Although Xiao Yi is his son.
But this child was born with the imperial decree, and he has been regarded as a thorn in his side since birth.
There is really no way to love him as his own flesh and blood.
When he was young, Xiao Jinshan never cared about the affairs of his children.
But as he grew older, his plans became difficult to achieve, and he suddenly realized that his children were too lonely.
Now that he is on the run, if he has a child to accompany him, he won't be too depressed.
"Forget it." Xiao Jinshan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Perhaps, he will never have children in this life.
He waited for him to go back to the house with his crutches.
In the woodshed next to him, through the crack of the door, the village chief dared to speak, and he had heard everything clearly.
"It's bad." The village chief lowered his voice, "This bastard is really wary. If he asks the villagers, the identity of Nuobao and his family will be revealed."
Cuicui has already gone out to ask for help. If Xiao Jinshan knew that the village was the hometown of the current princess, it would be bad!
Therefore, the village chief had already told the villagers to keep the identity of the Jiang family secret. If they were asked, they could just say that they were a wealthy businessman.
Yang Tianmei came over with dishevelled hair and a dirty face, and said, "Dad, what should we do? At that time, we only discussed hiding the identity of Nuobao's family, but we didn't agree on the details. Once they ask in detail, it will definitely be exposed
!" The village chief's eyes were red, and he looked at his wife distressedly, and patted the girl and Wangfu, "Forget it, if it is really exposed, at worst, Dad will risk his life and fight them first!"
As he said, he suddenly reached out and pulled out the hairpin on Yang Tianmei's head.
The hairpin was made of copper, and although it was a little thin, it was still powerful enough to poke an eyeball or pierce a throat.
The village chief rubbed his teeth against the wall twice, and said, "We are all brave people in the village. When it comes to the last resort, even if we die with them, we can't let them run away, let alone be the lambs to be slaughtered!"
Yang Tianmei and Wangfu both sobbed, and together with the village chief, they looked for some handy family jobs in the woodshed, just in case...
...
Xiao Nuobao and his friends were rushing all the way under the stars.
Finally, they were about to reach Yuncheng.
When the group walked to the outskirts of the city, Mu Yihan looked at the city gate and suddenly raised his hand, "Stop."
"What's the matter, Master Guoshi, is there anything wrong?" Jiang Fengze immediately stopped the people of Liaodongying and turned around to ask.
Mu Yihan looked around and said calmly, "Let's change our clothes before we enter the city, and then walk separately later. Otherwise, we will be too conspicuous. If Xiao Jinshan sends people to walk in the city, they will definitely notice us."
Hearing this, a group of soldiers hurriedly took out the prepared casual clothes and put them on.
Mu Yihan had another worry, "There aren't many people left around Xiao Jinshan. If we go into the village and capture them, it will be easy."
"But now." He lowered his eyes and frowned, "The villagers are all in their hands. Once the fight starts, Xiao Jinshan's people will definitely drag the villagers down with them."
The Jiang family was nervous.
They almost forgot about this!
Xiao Nuobao jumped out of the carriage and said anxiously, "Dad, we can't let the villagers be in danger. We have to think of a good way!"
Mu Yihan certainly wouldn't implicate the people. He raised his big hand and touched her head, "Don't worry, Dad won't sacrifice them. But now, we can only wait for the opportunity and can't just go into the village."
Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi came over, and Ali and others talked for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a solution.
Xiao Nuobao sat aside, her round eyes rolling around, thinking of the principle of catching the leader first!
So she crossed her legs and meditated, wanting to see what Xiao Jinshan's fate was.
Soon, she saw that this man was a born killer!
Not only was he destined to be alone.
He would never have children in his life, and was an extremely widowed person.
Because he had no close relatives, he acted ruthlessly and had no worries.
But if you think about it carefully, everything in the world has two sides. Although this is his advantage, it can become his disadvantage as long as he changes his mindset!
Xiao Nuobao opened his eyes, his eyes lit up slightly, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind.
Now the village is strictly guarded, and the adults will definitely not be able to sneak in.
But she is a little kid, not likely to arouse people's vigilance. If she could go back to the village and get close to that old thief Xiao...
Xiao Nuobao giggled and pulled her father's sleeve, "Daddy, Nuobao has a way, let me go back to the village!"
Mu Yihan's face changed.
How could he let the little cotton-padded jacket take risks!
"No, that's a wolf's den, daddy will never take risks with you."
