Yun Yiyi quickly ran to the village chief.
The village chief had just finished his meal and was chatting with three elders.
"Yiyi, why are you here? Come sit down quickly, let's talk."
"Uncle village chief, elders, I'm here to remind you. Things are not peaceful outside lately. There are also many people coming and going around here."
"So, please remind the villagers to be alert when they go to bed at night. Those on night duty should also try to stagger their hours and not sleep."
"It would be troublesome if someone from outside came to rob our house. It's late at night, and if they ran away, we wouldn't have anywhere to chase them."
The village chief nodded and said, "Yiyi, you make sense. Don't worry, I'll go around the village soon and let everyone listen to it before going to bed at night."
"Uncle Village Chief, how about we arrange four people to be on night watch? That way we have a replacement. If there really are outsiders sneaking in, we can wake up as soon as the gong is struck."
"Yiyi is right. Let's arrange four people to be on night duty starting tonight." The clan elder nodded in agreement.
"Even if we are sleepy at night, we can't sleep together as a group of four." The second elder of the clan said in disbelief.
"Then two people in the first half of the night and two people in the second half. Everyone can sleep."
The elders of the three tribes made the decision immediately.
"Uncle village chief, elders, I'm going back to sleep. By the way, there's no need to go to my house. I've already told my parents."
"Okay, Yiyi, good boy, you go back first."
As soon as the clan elder finished speaking, Yun Yiyi ran away.
When Yun Yiyi just fell asleep, the main gate, back gate and side gate of Qingfeng Village were surrounded by people brought by Li Huailiang.
"General, when do we start entering the mountain stronghold?"
"Let's wait until the second half of the night, when all the bandits in the stronghold are fast asleep, and then we can enter the stronghold."
"By the way, have we arranged our people at the main gate and the back gate?"
"Don't worry, General. We have people at the main gate and the back gate tonight. We've also got food and wine for the gatekeepers tonight.
"Wait until the middle of the night. I guess those guarding the gate will be drunk to death. Then, as soon as we give the signal, our people will open the door for us."
"That's good. Let's notify everyone and have our people take advantage of this time to eat and sleep in shifts."
"I will make the arrangements now."
"Go ahead, but be careful not to make any big noise."
Then, Li Huailiang stared closely at Qingfeng Village below.
There were many lights in front of Qingfeng Village near the gate. The bandits were eating and drinking.
In the meeting hall of the village, everyone was also discussing matters.
"Second brother, you asked someone to keep an eye on the peddler, what's going on now?"
"Brother, the peddlers have been leaving one after another these days. Now there are only two peddlers left in Shilin Town. They live in the inn in Shilin Town."
"Oh, they left. Are you sure they left?"
"Brother, my men said that in broad daylight, those peddlers carried their loads and headed north toward the official road."
"Are you sure it's not coming in the direction of Qingfeng Village?"
"Brother, make sure they are not coming towards Qingfeng Village."
The boss thought about it and still felt something was wrong.
"Aren't there two peddlers? Keep an eye on them and see what they're up to."
"Okay, big brother. I'll send someone to Shilin Town to keep an eye on them tomorrow."
"good."
"By the way, Third Brother. How's things going around our village lately? Has anyone come over?"
"Brother, our brothers spotted some people coming here to chop wood. However, after asking, we found out that they are from the surrounding villages."
"No one's been coming to the official road at the foot of our mountain lately. Refugees who want to go south are now staying in Shilin Town."
"Okay, we can't relax. Keep sending people to keep an eye on it. In two days, we'll be going down the mountain to collect food."
"You and the second brother must cheer up and let the brothers below work harder. After this busy period is over, we can relax."
"Got it, big brother."
"Got it, big brother."
"Okay, both of you go down. Oh, and tell those people drinking up there to go to bed early. They don't drink every night."
"I'll go talk to them now, brother."
"Go ahead."
The second and third in command quietly left the conference room.
"Brother, do you want to go for a drink?"
"Third brother, I'm not going. If you drink, don't drink too late. Be careful, Big Brother will punish you tomorrow."
"I know, brother. It won't be too late."
So the two people separated.
The second in command went to the square in front and told everyone not to drink too late. Then he picked a table and started drinking.
They drank until midnight, when the firelight in Qingfeng Village dimmed and the village became quiet.
"General, at the main gate of the stronghold, everyone except our people is drunk to death."
"The same situation exists at the back door of the cottage."
"Okay, then let's wait another two hours until they are more sound asleep, and then we'll go into the village."
"Give orders. Once you enter the stronghold, don't leave any bandits alive. Bandits have people who can kill people."
"We don't need to capture them alive. Of course, it would be great if we could capture the three leaders of the stronghold alive."
"However, it's hard to say. According to our people, these three leaders are all very skilled in martial arts. It would be difficult to capture them alive."
"That's what the General said."
"By the way, how many people were sent from outside Shilin Town?"
"General, we've sent sixty men from outside Shilin Town. They're all skilled soldiers."
"That's good. Later, you lead your men through the main gate of the stronghold, and I'll lead my men through the back gate. As for those on the flanks, have them move to the back gate and ambush."
"When the bandits escape through the back door, kill them all."
"As you command, General."
"Okay, go and make the arrangements."
Li Huailiang was a little confused at this moment. Because it concerned the safety of the young master, no one except him knew that the young master was in Shilin Town.
He arranged for someone to deliver messages to the young master every day, claiming that they were study companions selected for him.
In order to conceal his tracks, he deliberately picked three children. While delivering the message to the young prince, he also had someone visit the other two children every day.
The difference is that the other two children only watch and don’t need to pass on the message.
Of course, the troops were sent outside Shilin Town under the pretext of protecting refugees.
In order not to attract other people's attention, he made the arrangements and did not ask any further questions.
