Two Hundred and Twenty-Eight: Losing the Son and Breaking the Grain (4)

228: Lost Son and Lost Food (4)

He forced himself to calm down and asked his subordinates to find an old hunter who was familiar with the mountains near Hejian to lead the way.

As for entering the city?

No more!

The location depicted in the picture is outside the city, not inside the city, and it would be a waste of time to go in.

But before that, he had to figure out a question, when did Meng Hun's people stuff these coarse cloths into the grain truck?

Not only was he puzzled by this question, but the cook who was in charge of delivering the food was also confused.

In order to ensure that the amount of grain is correct, they will carefully check the grain carts every time they go to a place for repairs.

Therefore, it is almost certain that these strange coarse cloths were not on the grain cart before the last trimming.

The leader of the retinue also knew this, so he didn't waste too much in this area, but swept all the cooks with suspicious eyes.

He asked, "Does any of you remember who has been near these grain carts?"

This question stumped people, and a group of gangsters couldn't help but grimace, there are too many people who can get close to the grain truck, who remembers it.

There was a guy who was more clever, and asked, "If you report back to the military master, could it be when you were at the tea shop?"

There is a huge flow of people in a place like the post station tea shop, even if a person with an ordinary face sneaks in, it will not arouse suspicion.

But this was quickly denied, and another cook said, "You can't blame people. During the repair, the big guys are all by the grain truck. Where did the suspicious person come from? These things... are obviously out of thin air. Out of..."

People in this era are in awe of ghosts and gods, and often like to use such magical reasons to explain things they don't know.

The leader of the retinue was upset when he heard it, and he scolded, "You talk nonsense, how can you believe the ghosts and gods? Think about it carefully, who is it?"

If no outsider touched the grain truck and left these things...then the only reason is that the entire grain team has Meng Hun's inner ghost.

Coming to this relatively reliable conclusion, the leader of the retinue has basically concluded the answer.

Many cooks shook their heads one after another, but some people suspected that it was Jiang Pengji who brought the tea, but this guess was unreliable.

Because apart from Jiang Pengji, the proprietress of the tea shop and the waiter also brought tea over. Compared with the latter two, the former seems not to be close to the grain cart, so how can he stuff the coarse cloth into the grain cart?

The cook looked at each other, his nerves tensed, for fear that the leader of the retinue would suspect that they were insiders.

The head of the retinue scanned all the people, trying to find the ghost among them, but in the end, everyone looked like a ghost, and no one looked like a ghost. He had no choice but to put this detail aside for the time being and prepare to transport the grain to the destination.

An old hunter who is familiar with the terrain is easy to find. After promising a lot of money, the other party agreed to lead the way.

But this is hard for those who transport grain, the mountain road is steep and not suitable for grain trucks.

Therefore, they had no choice but to give up the grain carts, and chose to carry the grain bags on their shoulders, and send the grain up the mountain like a relay.

However, this mysterious joke seems to have just begun, and someone found a bamboo slip at the place where the map was drawn, which read——

[You are really obedient, but your speed is disappointing. I can't wait to take the first step and send the food to this place. This is a punishment for your inefficiency. Meng Hunliu, a traitor of the Meng clan. 】

Seeing this piece of bamboo slips and a piece of coarse cloth under the bamboo slips, the face of the leader of the retinue was completely darkened.

At this time, a soldier asked him bravely, "Boss, what should we do now?"

The leader of the retinue was panting heavily. Although he did not carry food, the mountain road was steep and he was wearing some heavy armor. Naturally, he was sweating profusely from exhaustion and his breathing was unstable. "What else can I do? Follow the instructions above. do-"

Meng Hun is still pinching Meng Hun's hand, if they dare not do it, Meng Hun will be angered, and they will kill Meng Hun without stopping, and they will cry so much! For the sake of that little ancestor's life, they could only be obedient.

Fortunately, the destination drawn in the second picture was not very far from here. The old hunter told them that it would take about a quarter of an hour to get there.

【ah! This time it's pretty quick, but I've already left. It's interesting to see how you guys are delivering food. But I haven't seen enough, I want to see Meng Ji and send the food here. Meng Hunliu, a traitor of the Meng clan. 】

At this time, the leader of the retinue hit the tree trunk beside him with his fist in a rage, making a dull thud.

The old hunter looked at the picture and said in horror, "Master, you can't go to this place."

"Why can't we go?" the leader of the retinue asked with a cold face.

The old hunter's hands were trembling, and he was about to cry. He thought it was a good job to lead the way, but now he looked a bit difficult.

"Reporting to the military master, this place is a bandit village. I used to hunt and took a look from a distance. The people living in it are all murderous beasts... If I go to this place..." The old hunter hesitated Said the reason.

The leader of the retinue smiled coldly and said, "Just lead your way, and don't talk about other nonsense."

It's just a bandit village. With so many people in his hands, there's no way to settle it?

However, there was one thing he didn't understand. Why did Meng Hun send the food to the bandit village by name?

Is there an ambush there?

Thinking of this, the leader of the retinue felt uneasy, and sent a clever little soldier to find out.

Xiaobing came back soon and said, "The bandit village is empty."

no one?

The leader of the retinue was a little confused at this time, but he had to bite the bullet.

"However, my subordinates found this at the gate of the village..." Xiaobing respectfully presented a piece of bamboo slips and coarse cloth.

Seeing this thing, the leader of the retinue has already formed a reflexive anxiety, for fear that it is another trick.

Open it and see, it is Meng Hun's words again.

[The food is placed in the courtyard of the bandit village, and that little boy Meng Ji is in the place drawn in the picture. Don't try to play tricks, otherwise, the little boy's life will be in danger. Meng Hunliu, a traitor of the Meng clan. 】

The leader of the retinue calmed down, gave a cold smile, and said, "Shrinking tortoise, bastard!"

If it weren't for being afraid of the majesty of the Meng family, how could Meng Hun play tricks and toss about these things?

Wasn't he afraid that when the two sides handed over the food, they would be surrounded and strangled by the soldiers he led?

Things that are greedy for life and afraid of death!

With a sneer in his heart, the leader of the retinue raised his hand, "You send the food here, and the other people will come with me to rescue Mr. Erlang."

Since Meng Hun is so greedy for life and afraid of death, it can be seen that the other party does not have much confidence in his hands.

If he took advantage of the situation and killed them by surprise, he would take Meng Hun's head back to deal with them, which would be a great contribution!

Originally, he didn't intend to besiege and kill Meng Hun, but the other party's death made the clay figurine very angry.

"yes!"

Although he was exhausted from tossing, the soldiers still answered loudly with their heads held high, full of momentum.
