Chapter 259 Back to the Starting Point, Wangjia Village

Lin Ruofeng held the knife tightly in his hand, but finally loosened it.

Gan Fanren took the military token and walked out of the tent.

Seeing this, several generals' confidants were dissatisfied and wanted to snatch the military token, but they were all killed by Li Zhi.

Lin Ruofeng stared at Gan Fanren and wanted to draw his knife several times, but there were too many people around Gan Fanren, so he couldn't do it.

At night, Gan Fanren pulled Lin Ruofeng and the remaining generals to drink together. He

cried about the atrocities of the current emperor and Concubine Zhang, and talked about the difficulties of the people in Tongmen Pass, as well as what he had seen and heard along the way.

Both Lin Ruofeng and the remaining generals were silent.

At this time, Qiu Xiangyuan suddenly threw the bowl: "Damn it, asking for help! Where can we ask for help!"

"All the land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. It was your majesty who killed General Sun!"

"Where can we get justice!"

Qiu Xiangyuan and other people in Tongmen Pass did not know about Gan Fanren's previous operation of pretending to be a confidant of Concubine Zhang. They just thought that Gan Fanren suddenly rebelled and subdued the corrupt officials in Tongmen Pass.

Qiu Xiangyuan spoke with full confidence and persuaded these generals.

"If it were me, we should rebel!"

"Open the granary and let the people of the world live a good life!"

Qiu Xiangyuan was painting big cakes for everyone all night, vividly describing the previous scene of Tongmen Pass and the changes now.

I heard that the people in Tongmen Pass had food to eat and new clothes to wear.

Lin Ruofeng's eyes were filled with expectation.

"Can we do the same in Changshi Pass?"

"Of course!"

Gan Fanren nodded.

"As long as you are willing to follow me, I will naturally take care of the people of Changshi Pass as my own people."

Now Lin Ruofeng has already understood that Gan Fanren's request for help is fake, and his rebellion is real.

But he is no longer willing to delve into it.

He only knows that as long as the people of Changshi Pass can have enough food and clothing, he is willing to follow Gan Fanren.

The other generals also agreed after a little hesitation.

Lin Ruofeng has expressed his loyalty. If they don't agree, they will inevitably fight with Lin Ruofeng's people.

They usually look down on Lin Ruofeng's style and rarely train their troops. If they really fight with Lin Ruofeng's people, they will definitely not be able to win.

So everyone expressed their loyalty.

Gan Fanren promoted Lin Ruofeng to be a general and asked Lin Ruofeng to send people back to Tongmen Pass to get food.

Getting food was fake, and the real purpose was to place a few of his own talents.

At this time, Lin Ruofeng didn't care whether Gan Fanren's words were true or not. When he heard that there was food to be taken, he immediately agreed.

After resting for a night, Gan Fanren took people back to get food.

Since he left Tongmen Pass, Hui Niang had been waiting at the city gate, and she cried with joy when she saw him.

He patted Hui Niang on the back gently and said, "It's my fault. I made Madam worry."

Large quantities of food were transported to Changshi Pass.

Seeing so much food, Lin Ruofeng hurriedly assisted Gan Fanren in distributing the food.

Suddenly, someone among a group of refugees shouted Gan Fanren's name.

"Gan Fanren——"

"Gan Xiongcai——"

The voices of these people were very high-pitched.

Gan Fanren looked in the direction of the voice, and saw that the people of Wangjia Village were in a daze, looking at him excitedly.

At this time, the villagers of Wangjia Village were no longer human, and were starving.

Wangjia Village, which originally had hundreds of people, now had only twenty or thirty scattered people, which looked pitifully small.

Li Zheng burst into tears: "Gan Xiongcai, I didn't expect to see you here."

Gan Fanren did not reveal his identity, but smiled gently: "Why is Li Zheng here?

"Shouldn't you be in Wangjia Village?

" "Don't mention it." Li Zheng knocked the ground with his crutch with difficulty.

"Since you left, not a drop of rain has fallen in Wangjia Village. Everyone's food was originally spoiled by the flood, and the food price remains high. The drought has lasted for so long that the villagers have eaten up all their food. They thought they could just hold on until the summer plowing season, but unexpectedly, not a single seed they sowed sprouted."

"Everyone really has nothing to eat, and many people have fled."

"As the Li Zheng, I dare not leave easily, and I can only defend the village. Now we really can't make ends meet, so I thought about taking people to Qingtaiguan to see if we can get some food."

"I didn't expect the situation in Qingtaiguan to be bad either. I was planning to return to the village when I heard that they were distributing food."

He looked at Gan Fanren and saw that Gan Fanren was dressed cleanly and tidy, with no signs of hunger or suffering, and he couldn't help but nodded.

"Fortunately you left early. Seeing that you are doing well, I feel relieved."

When they were in the village, Li Zheng also helped the Gan family a lot. If it weren't for Li Zheng, Gan Fanren would not have been able to take root in Wangjia Village smoothly.

Now that he has seen Li Zheng, Gan Fanren has a lot of feelings.

Gan Tian couldn't help biting her little hand when she saw Li Zheng.

[It's Grandpa Li Zheng, I almost didn't recognize him! ]

[According to the timeline of the novel, the famine was severe at this time, and the villagers were very agitated. They forced Li Zheng to find food for them. Because they couldn't find food, Li Zheng was beaten to death by those people. ]

[Wait, isn't Grandpa Li Zheng here to find food now? ]

Gan Fanren thought.

If he hadn't rebelled and Gan Tian hadn't had a system, then Li Zheng's search for food would have been in vain.

Then, when he returned, he would have faced angry villagers, and naturally something unexpected would have happened.

Gan Fanren said, "Wait a minute, I'll take some food and go back to the village with you."

Although Li Zheng was sometimes biased in his actions and always stood on the side of the villagers, he would not go too far.

Put yourself in his shoes. If he were the head of Wangjia Village, he would naturally stand by the villagers if something happened.

Gan Fanren had no hatred towards him.

He just wanted to help if he could.

Gan Fanren led a small team to Wangjia Village.

On the one hand, he was going to deliver some food, and on the other hand, he wanted to recruit soldiers.

Wangjia Village is relatively close to Qingtai Pass, and villagers often travel between the two places.

At that time, he was only busy studying, copying books to make money, and supporting his family. He had never been to Qingtai Pass and didn't know much about it.

The general of Qingtai Pass is different from the one of Changshi Pass. He is a serious general. If you want to take Qingtai Pass, you have to fight a battle.

In this way, if someone who knows Qingtai Pass can help lead the way, it can save a lot of effort.

Gan Fanren thought about it and led his people into Wangjia Village.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Gan Fanren saw many villagers waiting at the entrance.

They saw Li Zheng, who looked like a skeleton, staggering over.

"Li Zheng, you are finally back."

"Li Zheng, we really didn't trust you wrongly. You really brought us food."

The villagers surrounded Li Zheng and chattered.

But someone was dissatisfied and shouted: "Enough, enough, it's already so late, I'm starving to death, and you are still chatting there, do you want to starve my grandson to death!"
