Chapter 375 Good Men, Please Give Me a Favor

Gan Huaizhong put his hand on Gan Huaibi's shoulder: "Okay, this is the first time for them to walk on such a difficult mountain road. They used to take a carriage."

In order to take care of them, Li Zhi has slowed down, but these children are useless and they are still in such a mess.

Because these children vomited so much, the team took a short break.

Gan Huaizhong noticed that the surrounding area was very desolate.

There were bare mountain roads nearby, and there were almost no wild grasses or flowers. Even if they were used, they were all poisonous and inedible.

If he hadn't often helped Su's grandson sort out herbs, it would have been difficult for him to discover this.

Not only the grass, but even the trees here have no vitality. It is clearly the end of spring, but the tree trunks are bare, with almost no leaves.

He was just about to carefully explore these grasses and trees, when a small eagle flew over their heads and made a clear and loud cry.

Gan Huaizhong looked at the eagle and said, "The eagle is so fat, I think it is not wild, I am afraid it is trained to report news."

"The bandits should have known about our existence."

"Everyone listen carefully to my orders. If I tell you to retreat, you should retreat. Don't delay."

Not many people responded to Gan Huaizhong.

Only Li Zhi responded loudly: "Don't worry, my dear nephew, everyone will listen to your orders."

Gan Huaizhong turned his head slightly and looked at the soldiers standing behind. The soldiers all lowered their heads, looking like a defeated army, and obviously had no hope in suppressing the bandits this time.

"Huaizhong is only ten years old this year. I know it is difficult for you to believe me, but at this time, you have no other choice but to trust me."

"Huaizhong can promise you that even if the suppression of the bandits fails, we will not lose our lives and will let everyone go home safely."

"You can trust Huaizhong for the time being."

These soldiers obviously did not believe Gan Huaizhong's words.

Gan Huaizhong was so young that even His Majesty's biological son found it difficult to convince them.

They even had a feeling of being abandoned.

Seeing that the crowd ignored him, Gan Huaizhong was not embarrassed, but just silently sped up his riding speed.

Fortunately, the army was not advancing very fast, and he was riding far ahead.

The scenery in front of them kept changing. Because of the lack of grass and trees, the surroundings looked particularly boring. They had obviously walked a long way, but it seemed that there was no change.

Some children were sleepy.

Finally, a little green appeared in front of them. Although it was only a little, it made the children excited.

Gradually, the green in front of them became more and more, and more and more lush.

When he arrived at a narrow path, he suddenly pulled the reins.

Seeing him stop, everyone stopped too.

When Li Zhi saw him stop, he stopped without even asking and followed Gan Huaizhong.

All the soldiers looked at Gan Huaizhong, wanting to ask what happened.

But Li Zhi didn't ask, and they didn't dare to. In the end, the old soldier who led the way asked, "Young Master, why did you stop?"

"There's an ambush ahead."

"Young Master, are you mistaken? We just came this road yesterday. There is no ambush here. We have to go a little further to find an ambush."

​​Gan Huaizhong glanced at the old soldier and tightened the reins in his hand.

"You mean we can't continue to ambush in places we haven't ambushed before?"

"That's not the case." The old soldier's smile froze, "It's just that you didn't see, young master, their equipment is made of rolling stones and the like. A rolling stone weighs at least a hundred pounds and is not easy to move. I don't think they will abandon those rolling stones, and the ambush location will definitely not be too far from yesterday."

"Are you so sure that they only have those rolling stones?"

Gan Huaizhong pointed to the ramps on both sides, "People and equipment can be hidden on them."

"Look here and see if you think the grass here is too lush."

​​In places without the support of the Shunyi Army, the people were suffering from famine. The edible weeds in various parts of the mountain had long been picked away, and some trees had even lost their bark. However, the grass here was particularly lush, which was really strange.

The old soldier took one look and said, "It's just that there are more plants and trees. What's

so strange about that?" "It's not strange to have plants and trees, but there is green grass all over the hillside, but there is no grass on the slope wall. Isn't it too strange?"

"And..."

Gan Huaizhong pointed to the distance: "Although the army passed by here yesterday, there were no carriages in the army, and the horses in the army were all shod, with a uniform system, but there are fresh wheel prints and different horse hoof marks on this road. Don't you think it's suspicious?"

The old soldier looked carefully at the place where Gan Huaizhong pointed, and indeed found different marks.

This mark almost disappeared here.

This mark seems to confirm Gan Huaizhong's guess that there is a high possibility of an ambush here!

The old soldier, who originally looked down on Gan Huaizhong, immediately became respectful at this time.

"Young Master, what you said makes sense. So what should we do next?"

Gan Huaizhong glanced at him and said, "Tell the soldiers not to come forward."

He adjusted his ill-fitting armor and shouted to the sky.

"I am the son of Gan Fanren, the leader of the Shunyi Army. My surname is Gan and my name is Huaizhong! I want to have a talk with you. I hope you will give me a favor."

Gan Huaizhong's voice was very loud. If there was an ambush, the ambushers would definitely hear it. But it was so quiet at this time, without any sound.

The old soldier who had believed in Gan Huaizhong couldn't help but grumble. Is

this young master any good? He speaks so well, but why does it seem that what he said is not right at all?

Seeing no one responded, Gan Huaizhong cupped his hands and bowed respectfully: "Since you warriors are unwilling to meet, I will come again tomorrow."

"Huaizhong has brought some small gifts for you, I hope you will accept them."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Zhi, who clapped his hands, and the soldiers took down the things on their horses.

Led by Gan Huaizhong, everyone left one after another.

When the army was far away, a thin figure came down from the hillside.

This person was very fast, and he arrived in front of the sacks in almost the blink of an eye.

He opened the sack carefully and was stunned by the things inside.

Saliva secreted from the corners of his mouth. He wiped the corners of his lips, grabbed the things inside with shining eyes, and the snow-white rice flowed through his fingers.

"Rice, it's rice."

"Boss, look, it's rice."

At this time, many people came down from the hillside. They opened their bags, which were filled with many things. These supplies were very rich, including rice, noodles, vegetables, dried meat, and yellow oil.
