Chapter 268 Entering the city

The whole audience subconsciously became quiet. Even the at a loss of knowledge, the villagers of Zhuang Ding stopped. Everyone looked at Zhu Da, panic disappeared, but instead became quiet, but this quietness was more subconscious numbness and obedience.

"The first time the war was ignited, the border was tight at most, and there would be no major issues. Even if the Tartars came to kill, they would keep going. It would take two days to get to our side, which would be enough for us to react. Don't panic." Zhu Da said calmly, looking extremely calm.

Just now, they were numb and obedient, but after Zhu Da finished speaking, everyone on the field immediately relaxed. Although it was still quiet, it was different from the quiet just now.

Wang Hu and his two men looked surprised on the other side, looked around with a disobedience, and looked around. When they saw that they looked at each other again, they nodded. The other person who had not spoken gave Zhu Da a thumbs up and said, "Don't be surprised when things change, orders are prohibited. Brother Zhu is really extraordinary. Our brothers are really here this time. Even if they don't go to join Mr. Qin, you will be worth it."

"Is this person still studying?" Zhu Da asked directly. It would be fine if two wealthy families came to join him. One of them was a perfect example. Scholars in this world have always been precious, and not to mention that they are related to wealthy families. It is really strange to come to this remote county town, so Zhu Da had to ask.

The person who spoke was stunned and smiled and said, "Brother Zhu has such careful thoughts. I can hear that he has studied. I must have also read it. When I abandoned literature and became a martial artist, I wanted to gain wealth from a wealthy family, but I never thought that if I could not become a martial artist, I would waste my time until now. I am really ashamed."

The flattery of meeting was not true, so it would be fine if Zhu Da heard the other party's words. He nodded and said, "Two people are in the village, take a little hot water and take a rest."

Wang Hu nodded, turned around and took the horse, while the people around Wang Hu did not move, but instead asked with interest: "What will Mr. Zhu do next?"

"I'm so called Zhu Xiao... Master Zhu knows that Wang Xiong is a brother of life and death for more than ten years. He has an idea among our brothers and asks a lot. Mr. Zhu should not be surprised."

The two of them changed Zhu Da's honorific title. Zhu Da didn't care about these details, nor did he mean to answer seriously. He said calmly before turning around: "What else can you do? The Tartars are coming, and they will flee into the city."

This answer made Wang Xiong stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, and said nothing again. He followed Wang Hu and led his horse into the village. After Zhu Da turned around, he raised his voice and started to arrange it. The whole village began to become busy.

Since he arrived at Huairen County, Zhu Da has not been in the city for a few days, and his attitude inside and outside showed his distantness to the city. Now the situation is tense, he has to hide in the city. Although no one will say anything, no one will think that Zhu Da is so fierce on the inside, and he is strong on the outside and does the inside. If he is a capable tough guy, he will fight the Tartars outside the city...

If he was really young and energetic, he had trained a hundred or two-year-old man in his hands, he might have the intention of taking risks and giving it a try, but Zhu Da was very calm and mature. He knew that he had some strength at hand, but he also knew that this force had no power to fight back in front of the invading Mongolian horse team. He would be completely eliminated after one encounter. The best result was to persist for a while before being eliminated. The difference in strength was so huge that doing something about an egg hitting a stone is not called passionate blood, but stupid. Zhu Da would naturally make the wisest choice and flee into the city.

The most panicked thing in the farm was Zhuang Ding and their family. Their home was in this farm. I was reluctant to leave to escape to the city. As for the refugees, they had no concerns. They didn’t even have their luggage. Entering the city was just a change of place. Moreover, the refugees had experienced the disaster of the invasion of Mongolian horse teams and were eager to enter the city.

Whether he wanted to or not, Zhu Da gave the order, everyone had to do it. However, there were several elderly people from the farmhouses crying and saying that they would die here even if they died, but no one paid any attention and drove away directly. The supplies and luggage in the farm were loaded or made into bags. Some people also quickly went to the city to mobilize more big trucks and livestock. Nowadays, there are really a lot of commercial goods in the farm.

There are no wealthy families in the farm. Although there are many bottles and jars in the poor, not every piece must be taken away, and no one cares about it when buried in the cellar. However, the private goods from the Li family caravan and the city yamen are in stock in the farm, which requires large trucks and livestock.

Although there was no time to delay, when the carts in the city arrived at the farm, the sun had already set in the west, and the smoke from the sky inside and outside the city was seen. Chang Kai and the coachman who led the team were very nervous. According to the rules of the past, the sun had to stay in the village for one night. Otherwise, even if the carts rushed back, the gate of the county town would be closed and they had to stay for a night. Everyone knew in their hearts that the Tartars did not come so fast, but they had only experienced that disaster a few months ago. It was impossible for them to be unhappy at this moment, but after all, they did not reach the desperate situation and the last moment, and everyone was waiting for Zhu Da to make an idea.

"Let's go after packing up. If you can't enter the city, stay overnight outside the city." Zhu Da made the arrangements.

The village was busy, but the two newcomers had nothing to do. They unloaded the luggage carried by the horses and fed the mounts water and feeded them. After they finished their work, they stood there to observe the scene of the farm.

It is said that after the disaster in the middle of the year, when they saw the smoke of war in the sky, every person who was not in the city would panic. Wang Hu and Wang Xiong thought they would see a messy situation, and they were even ready to pick up weapons at any time to block the chaotic crowd and grab horses and food, but what they did not expect was that the farm was well organized and everything had rules and rules.

The young and strong people moved goods to trucks and livestock, and some people counted them. At this time, people were busy transporting things, but dozens of people were scattered everywhere on duty and watching. They could also see a few middle-aged people running among the crowd, arranging everyone to be busy and comforting everyone not to panic. The only thing that was a little messy was that the residents of this farm were all like headless flies, but the panic didn't last long. Seeing more than a dozen young people walking over, shouting, beating and scolding, there were soon rules.

The carts and animals were filled with goods, and the luggage was packed and carried on their shoulders. The young and strong were placed on both sides of the convoy under the command. At this time, the women and children came out of the houses. They walked in the middle of the convoy. When the children were tired, they could get on the car. The babies who could not walk were held by their mothers and had the right to get on the car. Others had to walk.

Wang Hu and Wang Xiong were very distracted at the beginning. As the whole team of the farm was completed and ready to set off, their expressions became solemn, "Let's go now, let's see if there are fewer people in each team. If there is nothing left, or if there are any animals missing, don't worry. We will come here to search and set off after the inspection." Hearing the shouting there, Wang Hu's face was filled with shock, and Wang Xiong kept nodding, and neither of them spoke.

"Don't chat and run on the road, and don't rest without authorization, otherwise the military law will deal with it and set off!" Zhu Da shouted loudly.

The entire team began to move, and no one mentioned that Wang Hu and Wang Xiong should leave. This was not coldness, because they were not fools, and they would follow after seeing it. Wang Hu and Wang Xiong also quickly put their luggage and supplies back on the pack horse, and put everything in order. They followed the team. Until this time, the two people remembered to talk.

"There should be hundreds of people in the three hundred people who are residents of Zhuangzi. These people should not have been trained, but the remaining young and strong people are of great significance."

"It's not only young and strong, but you can see that the families of those residents are completely different from the women and children here. The ones here obviously know the rules."

"When you escorted Qin Chuan back here, there were only more than ten people around Zhu Da. At that time, these people should not be hidden outside the city, right?"

"There were no such people at that time. According to the news given to us, these people were refugees recruited after I left. He had been practicing for less than two months..."

Having said that, the two looked at each other again, and Wang Xiong asked, "It's been less than two months since he had such an atmosphere?"

"I can't figure it out, there is nothing to hide from the past between Qin Juren and Zhu Da in Huairen County. If there were a 100-strong man in the past, no one would know." Wang Hu replied in a deep voice.

The two looked at each other again, and they both saw the doubts and confusion in each other's expressions. After a moment, Wang Xiong laughed immediately on his own, and said while smiling: "I've come here, so I don't rush to see it at this time and a day, sooner or later."

There were snowflakes falling in the sky. Except for the children who felt fresh and happy, everyone felt heavy. But everyone knew that Zhu Da’s decision was right. The Mongolian horse team’s sweep a few months ago made everyone dare not have any luck in their hearts.

Wang Hu and Wang Xiong thought that the team of hundreds of people and dozens of big trucks would be moving very slowly, but they didn't expect that the team would be moving very quickly. The team of hundreds of people was in order, and no one dared to act without permission. The only delay was the farmers' households, but they adapted to the order of the team very quickly. According to convention, the ones that delayed the team the most were often large trucks loaded with cargo. When encountering potholes or many obstacles, many people needed to push them to cross them. Often, time was delayed because of this, but in this team, this was not a problem. When encountering obstacles, there would be more than a dozen young and strong people helping each cart, and the road was very smooth.
