Chapter 1057 A Big Fat Sheep
They had people tie ropes to the supply truck, and then people and livestock worked together to try to flip the truck over.
As they moved, many of the refugees around them watched their every move.
Their massacre was witnessed by many displaced people.
Those refugees whose relatives had been killed harbored even greater hatred for Zhen Wu and his group.
More importantly, these supply wagons were loaded with a lot of food and money.
Someone had an idea and quietly got up to contact the refugees around them.
On the other side, Zhen Xiaoren breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the flood would not submerge the mountaintop.
He glanced at the soldiers packing up their tents beside him and had an idea.
"Young man, I'm so grateful to you for saving me just now."
As you know, I don't have much else, but I have money.
Could you please make a trip to the east side later to find Zhen Wu?
I'll take some money from there as a token of my gratitude.
The soldier looked wary when he heard him say that.
"You're not planning on some kind of trick, are you?"
Zhen Xiaoren hurriedly waved his hand.
"No, no, brother, we've known each other for so many days now."
Don't you know who I am?
Don't worry, I definitely don't have any bad intentions.
However, the situation was too urgent just now, and I don't know how my brothers are doing.
I've been thinking about this, which is why I'm asking you to help me call for help.
On the one hand, I can get some money to thank you.
On the other hand, it was also to find out about the situation of his men.
The guards were somewhat skeptical upon hearing this.
He told his companion to watch over the person first, while he ran to tell Bai Song about it.
Bai Song was busy building a new camp when he heard about this and cursed the old man for being so troublesome.
However, after what had just happened, he also wanted to know what the outside world was like now.
Immediately, he called over six or seven soldiers and asked them to go over together and check the situation outside.
Zhen Xiaoren had been keeping an eye on this side, and seeing that the person had left, he became more determined.
The soldier on guard was cleaning the mud off his shoes with a knife when he saw him stand up and look outside. He shouted:
"Hey, what are you doing? Get over here right now!"
Let me tell you, if you dare run, I'll break your legs right now!
A ruthless glint flashed in Zhen Xiaoren's eyes, but he put on a fawning expression and jogged over.
......
Lu Qingqing was unaware of the situation here; she was working with Qin Lang to build a rain shelter above the passageway.
While they were out working, Old Man Zhuang and Sun Yue had already cleared away the weeds and pebbles on the ground.
They even found a lot of dry branches to pave the ground.
Several people were busy working in the rain.
By the time the sleeping area was set up, it was almost noon.
Even though they were wearing raincoats while working, their clothes were now almost completely soaked.
The wet ground in the middle of the passageway also needed to be dried.
They simply lit three fires in the passageway, two of which were used to dry their clothes.
The other area is used for cooking.
Although the temperature is not low these days, the constant overcast and rainy weather has kept the sun out, resulting in a damp and chilly atmosphere in the air.
They had just changed their clothes and sat down when Bai Song rushed over.
He immediately ordered his soldiers to summon Qian Chengzhi and Shi Yingguang together.
As soon as they sat down, Bai Song quickly recounted what had happened outside.
He then emphasized the situation on Zhen Wu's side again.
Shi Yingguang was furious when he heard that Zhen Wu had used a human barrage to block the supply truck.
Countless lives were lost because of Zhen Wu's casual remark.
Qian Chengzhi also looked solemn, but did not speak.
Bai Song took in the expressions of the people sitting around and added a sentence.
"Now, Zhen Wu's side only has about two hundred people left."
Among these two hundred people, quite a few are injured.
Lu Qingqing keenly sensed the unspoken meaning in Bai Song's words and looked at him.
"Boss Bai, do you have any ideas?"
Bai Song gave Lu Qingqing an approving look.
"According to reports from my soldiers, Zhen Wu's supply trucks almost completely filled a gentle slope."
There were at least a dozen trucks inside loaded with grain.
The rest were mostly packed in large boxes!
Some speculate that it contains the gold and jewelry that Zhen Xiaoren has amassed over the years!
Upon hearing this, Shi Yingguang nodded in agreement.
"In the past two years, Zhen Xiaoren has gradually taken control of Xiazhou City. Everything that comes in and goes in the city is skimmed off by him."
It's not surprising how much money he has.
It would be strange if they didn't have money!
Upon hearing this, Bai Song's eyes lit up immediately.
Isn't this just a big, fat sheep?
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming.
"Let's do it!"
Bai Song chuckled as he heard the two agree so readily:
"It's rare to see you two so enthusiastic."
We're definitely going to eat this fat sheep!
However, we need to plan this out.
A head-on confrontation would definitely result in significant losses!
He and Qin Lang discussed it in hushed tones for a while and came up with a plan.
After the group finished discussing, Bai Song had someone relay Zhen Xiaoren's words to Zhen Wu.
Not long after, Zhen Wu arrived with his injured arm in a sling.
He remained as respectful as ever in front of Zhen Xiaoren.
This time, with Bai Song's instruction, the guards pretended to be greedy and kept a few steps away.
Upon seeing this, Zhen Xiaoren quickly told Zhen Wu about his plan.
After Zhen Wu understood, he saw that the guard was still busy eating, so he asked a few more questions in a low voice.
Nearby, the guards worried that if they let the water out for too long, they would be exposed.
He then put down his snacks, drank some water, and came over.
The two, who had been speaking in hushed tones, changed the subject at the opportune moment.
Zhen Xiaoren hurriedly handed over a large purse that Zhen Wu had brought.
"Young man, this is the thank-you gift I promised you. Are you satisfied with it?"
The guards were surprised by the unexpected bonus.
Upon opening it, they were surprised to find five twenty-tael silver ingots inside.
Wow, Zhen Xiaoren really knows how to be generous.
One hundred taels of silver, given away without hesitation!
However, we'll have to ask the boss about how to handle this money later.
Although he said he would ask, he figured he would most likely just give it to him directly.
Their boss wasn't the type to take advantage of his subordinates.
The guarding soldier clutched the purse and happily tucked it into his pocket.
Zhen Xiaoren and Zhen Wu were quite satisfied upon seeing this.
If all goes well, I should be able to get away tonight!
Not far away, Bai Song, who was secretly watching this spot, was also quite satisfied.
After Zhen Wu left, Bai Song discussed the details with Lu Qingqing and the others.
They even went so far as to check out the terrain and topography of the location where Zhen Wu and the others were currently staying.
