Chapter 174: Reckless Advancement and Greed for Merit
Wen Shu asked.
"The fact that I can do things for you means that you trust me. Please give me your orders. I, Wang Tiechui, will definitely complete the task."
The young man patted his chest and promised with a solemn look on his face.
"Regarding the Cat Cave you mentioned earlier, since you are familiar with the environment, I will leave this mission to you to lead the way and explore it.
If it's empty, that's fine. But if it's filled with supplies like this cellar, then it should be guarded by someone."
Wen Shu also looked at the remaining clansmen she brought out and Xuan Yi's men and said, "You all saw what happened in the cellar earlier.
The Gangfeng village has abundant supplies. If the storage holes are scattered, at least two people should be left at each hole to guard and take care of them.
If we concentrate, we need to send more people to guard everywhere."
"Yes"
"Girl, don't worry. They are basically located on a few mountain slopes. The people ahead may have dug the cat caves on the cliffs to avoid the enemy. It is difficult for ordinary people to climb.
Judging from the situation in the cellar, I think the cat cave is also spacious. If there is something in the cat cave, we can just guard the main roads on both sides."
Wang Tiechui suggested.
Wen Shu did not comment. No one around her knew the situation here better than Wang Tiechui.
However, even though they knew about it, they couldn't be sure whether there were people lurking around.
"Remember, remember you can't act alone. We don't know if all the bandits in this village will surrender. What if someone is hiding in the dark, seeing you alone, and attacking you when you're off guard?
The consequences can be imagined. They will fight back desperately if they get the chance.
Remember this!" Wen Shu fell to the ground, feeling uneasy, and gave some instructions before leaving.
"Don't worry, girl, we will follow your arrangements."
“Yes, we won’t be alone.”
"..."
Everyone responded...
Seeing that everyone had listened to her words, Wen Shu left the back mountain with two private soldiers.
Heading to the square in front...
Halfway through the journey, he took out his mouth flute and started playing it again, with a brisk rhythm. He played two sections and then saw some movement in the jungle in the distance.
Wen Shu then stopped, turned around and continued to walk to the square with an expressionless face.
Wen Shu had only taken a dozen steps when she stopped and raised her hand to gesture for her to stop.
I turned around and looked back and forth at where I was standing. There were trees on both sides, a cliff on one side, short trees on the other side, and the road leading to the square in front.
Wen Shu pointed to the two private soldiers beside her and ordered, "Go to the front and watch over there. Don't let anyone get close."
"Yes"
Looking at the remaining people, he said, "Just watch here, no one is allowed to come near me."
"Remember Anyone"
"obey"
After receiving the order, several people went to guard two sections of the road.
As one person left, Wen Shu looked into the bushes and asked, "I'm back. How's the situation over there?"
"Master, please punish me. I came back late." The voice came from behind the tree. Even though the person could not be seen due to the dense trees, hearing the voice was great news for Wen Shu.
"Then how should Mr. Liu respond..."
Wen Shu asked directly, she didn't beat around the bush.
"Master, Mr. Liu replied that he thinks your idea is feasible..."
"Really?" Wen Shu didn't expect that Mr. Liu would be so easy to talk to this time.
"Since Mr. Liu has agreed, when can he come?"
"Mr. Liu said that he has settled the people in the courtyard and will come to meet you." The voice came from the jungle, but the news it brought made Wen Shu feel relieved.
Wen Shu thought about it and didn't ask any more questions. Since Mr. Liu agreed to come, the old and young in the yard must be settled in.
But she was not worried about this. The existence of this courtyard was tacitly approved by her grandmother. Since Mr. Liu agreed to her request, she would not be able to return in a short time after leaving.
He could only leave with peace of mind if he entrusted the courtyard to his grandmother.
Wen Shu thought of the previous Sheshan Village and the Gangfeng Village here. Although the power of the two villages was quite different.
Gangfeng Village took advantage of its geographical location and robbed a lot of passers-by, which made it richer this year. However, Sheshan Village was blocked by Gangfeng Village in terms of geographical location.
The terrain of Snake Mountain Village is also more remote and more hidden...
As a bandit, Gangfeng Village occupies a good location, but what can be seen behind Sheshan Village.
Relatively speaking, this is also a layer of protection.
Wen Shu thought for a moment and then gave orders to the bushes, "Snake Village is already our territory. Although we have eliminated many bandits in Gangfeng Village this morning, the bandits here are still vicious and cunning.
I believe you have previously inquired about the fact that the Gangfeng Village Master wants to annex our Du family and kill and devour the Du family's troops. You are also aware of this."
"Master, what can I do for you?" the man asked.
"Nightingale, I need you to take your men and secretly check these two villages again," Wen Shu said solemnly.
"obey"
"Nightingale, if you find anyone who is harmful to us, just deal with them directly without reporting to us first.
As for the people over at Snake Mountain Stronghold, you also need to personally investigate them. Although they may seem insignificant, they are crucial to our future development.
This is something you need to be aware of. You must understand this." Wen Shu's expression was unclear. The morning sun shone on her face, making her face have distinct lines and a firm look.
"My subordinates understand"
"Okay, it's getting late, go on your own."
A rustling sound came from the bushes in front, and then disappeared. Wen Shu looked at the branches swaying slightly in the jungle in front and looked away.
He said to the soldier behind him, "Let's go and take a look at the front."
.........
When Wen Shu returned to the square, Shi Liang was standing there directing people to move the bodies and the wounded.
"This is what's going on." When Wen Shu approached, Shi Liang was scratching his head anxiously. His mind was full of thoughts about how to return and explain to the clan leader.
When Wenshu asked me this question suddenly, I didn't know what to do with my hands and feet.
"Clan... Clan leader..."
Shi Liang didn't wait for Wen Shu to respond, but turned around and knelt in front of her to apologize.
"What's going on..." Wen Shu was confused. Seeing Shi Liang's reaction, she looked back at the group of people carrying the things.
"Chief, I am guilty. It was my recklessness that led to the death and injury of my brothers. I deserve to die..." Shi Liang confessed his guilt hurriedly. He knew he had caused a big disaster.
If he hadn't been so reckless and greedy for merit, his brothers wouldn't have died.
Wen Shu frowned and glanced at Shi Liang, but he didn't call him up. "What are the casualties?"
"Head, three of our brothers lost their lives and five were seriously injured."
"Then kneel down." Wen Shu did not give Shi Liang any face. She had already made all the arrangements. Her private soldiers had already cleaned up the situation in front. The people from the clan and she brought with her only had to clean up the mess.
How could there be such heavy casualties? The people of Gangfeng Village had warned them not to advance rashly, but they did not take it lightly. Unexpectedly, Shi Liang turned a deaf ear to her words and advanced so recklessly.
Shi Liang has quite a few people with him...
As Wenshu approached, the group of people who had originally gathered around her automatically made room for her.
