Chapter 45 Do you believe me when I say I found it?
This was what she accidentally heard from Li Rong and others: some powders can make people unconscious after inhaling them, allowing them to do whatever they want.
Out of curiosity, she asked Li Rong to buy it for her when she arrived at the next town. She didn't expect to use it now.
Just then, a gust of wind blew, and the person behind inhaled the drug and immediately fell off the horse.
Two people who were farther away just felt dizzy, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately turned around and ran away.
Bai Li didn't care and just drove the cattle to run faster.
In Shiya Village, Mulangde watched several people make three rice harvesters and five threshers. Seeing that it was already midnight and several people were yawning, he waved his hand and asked them to go back and rest.
He had just laid down and was about to close his eyes when he felt the ground shaking.
Could it be that the earth dragon is turning over?
That's not right. There hasn't been any sign of earth dragons turning over recently. How could it happen so suddenly?
Listen carefully again, no, it's the sound of horse hooves!
Hey!
In fact, the sound of horse hooves is crisper and louder, while the sound of cow hooves is duller and heavier.
Unfortunately, Mulangde didn't have time to think carefully about what was going on. The first thing he thought of was an enemy attack. He would never have dreamed that a herd of cattle would rush into the village in the middle of the night.
So he blew the emergency horn, and one loud horn after another resounded through the night sky.
When Captain Mu heard the first sound in the military camp, he jumped out of bed, put on his clothes and ordered his followers to blow the emergency assembly call.
The three brothers Bai Zongren had just returned home, washed their hands and feet, and gone to bed when they heard the sound of trumpets.
The soldiers' habits made them get up, dress, and go out immediately.
When I got to the door, I found that all the men who had been in the barracks had come out.
When they met each other, they smiled awkwardly, forgetting that they were now prisoners and no longer had to perform their military duties or follow their missions.
"I wonder what happened? It sounds urgent."
"Since we're already up, why not go check it out?"
I don't know who made the suggestion, but a group of people walked out of the house in the dark.
Village entrance.
When Bai Li returned with a herd of cattle, the originally dark and silent place was now brightly lit, and two thousand soldiers were standing ready with spears and swords.
When Namgoong Min saw a herd of cattle in the distance, he waved his hand to stop the archers.
But he still ordered the soldiers to form a battle formation and not let their guard down.
He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw a huge bull in the middle, with the child on its back looking even smaller against its broad back.
Bai Li, whose hair was blown into a Zhang Fei-like beard, suddenly saw so many people and immediately waved and shouted in surprise, "Are you here to pick me up?"
Namgoong Min: ...
Mulande: ...
Soldiers: ...
It was at this time that Bai Zongren arrived at the village entrance.
When he saw the girl sitting on the ox's back, her hair messy like a chicken coop, her clothes blown into strips in the wind, looking more beggarly than a beggar, the veins on his forehead bulged and the anger in his heart rose.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Bai Dalang hurriedly grabbed his father's arm.
"Dad, Dad, calm down, be careful she might come and spar with you."
Bai Zongren staggered and narrowly avoided falling.
"Get out of here. Let's just spar. If I don't beat her up, she'll be in trouble!"
She went out without permission and obviously came back from a fight. Why don't you beat her up now? Are you going to wait until she finds out?!
Bai Dalang was very anxious!
He couldn't stop his father, and when his sister got beaten up, she would definitely drag them in to "compete" with him.
In her hands, it was not just a competition, but a complete abuse.
He doesn't want to be beaten!
Bai Zongrui and Bai Zongze didn't dare to persuade them. This niece was so bold that they had to beat her.
Let them just “exchange”, anyway they are not the only ones getting punched.
With the eldest brother and his son supporting them, they could only take a few hits at most.
Since his two uncles could not be relied upon, Bai Dalang turned his attention to his three cousins, Bai San, Bai Si, and Bai Wulang.
The three of them looked at their uncle, then at Bai Li, as if they were weighing which side would be more cost-effective.
At this time, Bai Li had already arrived. Under the indescribable gazes of everyone, he turned over nimbly and walked to stand in front of Nangong Min with a smile.
"Report, Captain Bai Li is here to report!"
Namgoong Min: ???
Mulangde: Oh, no, shouldn’t she explain to me that she went out without permission?
What nonsense did you go to Major General Nangong and say?
"It's past midnight now, the next day, so it's just in time for me to report."
As if he saw everyone's confusion, Bai Li made a special explanation.
Everyone: Oh, I see.
Mulande: There’s nothing wrong with her saying that.
Hey, wait!
team leader?
She was a new recruit, and a girl at that, and she became the captain right after entering the barracks?
Is there any justice in the world?
Only those who have been in the military know how difficult it is to climb up from the bottom of the ranks.
The soldiers had different thoughts, and some showed obvious dissatisfaction on their faces.
Everyone was guessing that this little girl must have someone behind the scenes.
Only those who had seen Bai Li unilaterally crush Shangguan Yu yesterday showed an expression of expectedness.
A tuft of hair on Bai Li's head fluttered in the wind. Nangong Min wanted to laugh for some reason, but realizing that the occasion was not right, he had to suppress the corners of his mouth.
"Okay, although it's a little early, it's acceptable.
The appointment letter will be given to you tomorrow morning... Oh no, you can give it to me when you get to the military camp in the morning.
Now, can you tell me what's going on?"
Everyone followed his finger and then they remembered, oh right, where did all these cows come from?
Seeing that he couldn't escape this question, Bai Li touched his nose and said like a scoundrel, "If I said I found it, would you believe me?"
I don't believe you! Ask a fool if he believes it.
At this time, someone recognized that these cattle were not the oxen of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but rather looked like...
"It looks like a Laotian yak. How did a Laotian yak get here?"
Someone couldn't help but whispered.
Mulangde was very familiar with the Lao people, and he hated them with gritted teeth whenever he mentioned them.
The last two times the Laotians invaded, his two younger brothers happened to be chopping wood in the mountains and were killed without any preparation.
During those two incidents, Shiya Village lost several thousand kilograms of grain and several lives.
Only a few Laotian players were injured, so it was considered a complete victory.
Shiya Village was originally called Luoya Village. Although it belongs to the territory of Da Zhou, it is very close to Laos just over a mountain.
(Laos used to have a small population and was called the Lao people. Later, when the population increased and the territory was gradually expanded, it became the Lao State).
Because it is close, there are more grasslands than fields, and people from Laos, which has no grain production, often come to Luoya Village to rob.
Women, food, and even children were their targets.
Luoya Village spontaneously organized people to resist. At this time, the young, strong and agile Mulangde was nominated by the previous village chief to become the leader of Luoya Village.
But no matter how strong Mulande was, he could not defeat the trained soldiers of Laos.
Laos is shameless. Those who come to steal food are not only ordinary Laotian people, but also soldiers who sneak in to take advantage of the situation.
Chapter 46
After Mulangde organized several resistances, he lost many able-bodied men, leaving only dozens of old and young men. The people of Luoya Village were suffering.
