Chapter 267 My Neighbor Stockpiles Food, I Stockpile Guns; My Neighbor Is My Granary



Ling Yi wrote down what happened on a piece of paper. Fu Huanping confirmed that there was no problem and even put his fingerprint on it.

"General Fu, I need to ask my master for instructions!"

Fu Huanping expressed his understanding and nodded.

He caught a glimpse of the unconscious Chen Shitou and asked, "When will my brother wake up?"

Ling Yi frowned slightly. "I don't know. This is the first time Doctor Cheng has taken on such a serious patient. We have done our best, and the rest is up to fate."

Fu Huanping expressed his understanding of this. When he saw Baozhu come in, he wanted to help Chen Shitou up and feed him medicine.

Seeing this, Ling Yi hurriedly stopped him, stepped forward and pinched his mouth open, allowing Baozhu to pour the water in with a spoon.

"General Fu needs to rest well so that he can recover as soon as possible. As for the injured, leave them to the servants at home to take care of them!"

Fu Huanping didn't argue with him, as he felt that his injuries were very inconvenient, especially since his broken leg made it impossible to move. He even had to ask for help to go to the toilet.

Fortunately, there were a few people in Tinglan Academy who were lightly injured and could come over to help.

The centurion even shuttled between several courtyards to help them take care of their daily lives.

After Ling Yi finished feeding the medicine, he asked Bao Zhu, "Is the master's wife awake?"

Baozhu knew that Ling Yi was talking about the second young master and his wife.

This group of people, when there are no other masters, are accustomed to calling Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue "Master and Madam".

Although it was a bit confusing, the old man and the old lady in the family never corrected the way they addressed the few people, so Baozhu naturally wouldn't say anything.

She shook her head and said, "I don't know. The Second Young Master told me not to call him for breakfast. I think if the Second Young Master gets up, he will ask me to fetch water for washing."

Ling nodded and left with Baozhu.

He went to the backyard to pull an ox cart, and then went to the front yard to prepare supplies for going out.

He also discussed with Ling San and others, and decided to leave half of them to guard the Ling family, and the rest to get ready and go with him to the Zhou family army's base.

But before leaving, I have to tell my master and ask him if he has any instructions.

After Chi Xingyue woke up, she didn't rush to leave. She and Ling Jiheng washed up in the bathroom, then went to the cafeteria for breakfast before slowly leaving the space.

As for the cattle and horses, she didn't bother to care about them. She would just starve them for two meals to kill their spirit.

When Chi Xingyue opened the door, she saw Baozhu staring at the door intently.

She was startled: "What's wrong with Baozhu? What happened?"

Baozhu quickly shook her head: "No, no, it's Ling Yi who wants to see the Second Young Master about something. Madam, can I get you some water to wash up?"

Chi Xingyue was stunned for a moment: "No, let's do our business first." He really didn't want to explain why he hadn't washed for several days.

Baozhu thought that he felt sorry for her and was moved to tears.

After all, taking care of the daily life of four masters, taking care of Erzhu's food and medicine, and running back and forth between four courtyards to deal with some miscellaneous matters is indeed very tiring.

By washing less often, she could save on hot water, which would allow her to rest for at least half an hour longer.

Baozhu pointed in a direction with red eyes, and Chi Xingyue and Ling Jiheng left and found Ling Yi.

After hearing Ling Yi's request from Fu Huanping, Ling Jiheng agreed without hesitation.

He was also given a lot of weapons, fearing that he would encounter remnants of the Northern Liao army on the road.

"Be careful. When you get there, please tell him that the Cui family has plenty of food and clothing for the winter and that they weren't affected by the conflict. Don't worry."

Ling nodded, indicating that he understood. He glanced back at the Ling family mansion and left with Ling San and Ling Si.

After he left, Ling Jiheng went to Zheguiyuan and exchanged pleasantries with Fu Huanping for a while before learning the whole story.

It turned out that a month ago, Fu Huanping sneaked into Bei Liao and successfully entered Nanfeng Pavilion.

They got in touch with Luo Changchun on the first night, and then made precise arrangements to rescue dozens of victims including Luo Changchun.

Unfortunately, they had been tortured for so long that some of their minds had become distorted. Instead of being grateful, they took out their anger on Zhou Jiajun.

The moment the swords were drawn, Fu Huanping was stunned. If it weren't for their regular training, he and his companions would definitely be injured.

He quickly dealt with a few ungrateful people and had someone take them away from Bei Liao.

Fu Huanping was so angry that he went deep into the enemy camp again.

This time there was no burden, so he went on a killing spree. After burning down Nanfeng Pavilion, he set fire to several granaries.

This made the already poor Northern Liao even worse off, and caused unrest for a while.

People leave their names behind, and wild geese leave their voices behind. Naturally, what Fu Huanping did could not be without leaving some clues.

The Northern Liao army soon discovered his whereabouts and sent people to hunt him down. Fortunately, Zhou Chengyu came to his rescue in time and prevented his confidant from falling into the hands of the enemy.

But it also made the King of Northern Liao furious, and he ordered that Fu Huanping must be captured at all costs.

However, the weather changed suddenly, and the border was already bitterly cold, so the people were hungry one day and full the next.

Bei Liao was not like Youzhou City. With Ling Jiheng's reminder, they stockpiled food and planted vegetables in advance.

The few remaining grains were set on fire by Fu Huanping.

It was freezing and snowy outside, so they had no chance even to eat grass roots.

When you are hungry, you can only eat the northwest wind; when you are thirsty, you can only drink snow water.

Because they did not store enough firewood for the winter, they did not dare to light the stove, and many people died from colds and high fevers.

The King of Northern Liao had no choice but to send his army to rob.

Just like the saying in the apocalyptic literature - "My neighbor hoards grain, so I hoard guns. My neighbor is my granary." The Northern Liao Dynasty took advantage of its neighbors and aimed directly at Youzhou City of the Dayong Dynasty.

So we had the previous scene, where the Northern Liao army crossed mountains and rivers and slaughtered villages.

Although the harvest was not as great as looting the county town or the provincial capital, the casualties were minimal.

The Northern Liao army was confident, but they didn't expect that as soon as they arrived at Qingshan Village, their vanguard was wiped out by Ling Jiheng and several young men from the village.

Later, he received support from Fu Huanping and was defeated.

Of course, the Northern Liao army did not only come to Qingshan Village, but also visited the entire border area.

The reason why Zhou's army reacted so quickly was, firstly, that they had the clues from the secret letters from Black Wind Village, and secondly, that they had an accurate prediction of the situation.

Third, of course, Ling Jiheng caught the hidden spy by accident.

After a thorough investigation within the army, the foreigners who had usurped other people's identities were quickly apprehended.

After some interrogation, he learned about the Northern Liao people's plan.

Fu Huanping felt a sinking feeling in his heart and volunteered to do the job, hoping to atone for his sins.

General Zhou said, "General Fu was brave and went deep into the enemy camp, weakening the Northern Liao army. How can this be considered a crime?

Border friction is commonplace. If they come to attack, just destroy them!"

Fu Huanping nodded "yes" and led his troops to support.

Things went smoothly, and although there were casualties, the Northern Liao army was basically wiped out, except for a few Northern Liao people who escaped at night.

Fu Huanping knew their nature very well, so he ordered the army to return to the camp first. He took Chen Shitou and Zhang Ke with him to secretly search for the enemy's traces, intending to kill them secretly.
