Chapter 245 Adding insult to injury
"Boss, why don't you send someone down the mountain to investigate? The news over there is always accurate, so it shouldn't be wrong! And this time is different from usual. They think that except for that Han guy, no one else can send us false news, otherwise they will suffer."
"Then go down the mountain to investigate, be careful, it is said that Han guy is not easy to deal with, very cunning, don't fall into his trap." The boss gave a somewhat worried reminder, always feeling uneasy and uneasy in his heart, afraid that something might happen.
Han Yu deliberately set up camp outside the mountain just to let the bandits in the mountain stronghold see, and the defense was also lax, looking like a person who was disorganized and dealt with his job.
The spy sent by the bandits saw this and thought that no one would find him, so he approached and heard the conversation between the two soldiers.
"Is it really okay for Lord Han to do this? How can he report to his superiors if he is perfunctory like this? And he is leaving a few of us here to guard the camp while he takes his people to have fun. It's too unfair!"
"What's so unfair about it? We are not Lord Han's confidants, so we have to stay here to do the hard work! Besides, reporting is Lord Han's business, why should we worry about it? It would be better if we can pretend and not fight the bandits. Who would be willing to fight with the bandits in this winter? It's not good for us. Lord, this is called open-minded. Even if the superiors blame us, they will just scold us and demote us at most. With Lord Han's flattery skills, he will be promoted soon. There is no need to risk his life. If he loses his life, he will lose everything!"
"That's right. It's so cold, and the bandits probably won't come down. Let's go into the tent to sleep. Anyway, they won't come back so soon after they have fun. Who knows what we have done." After the soldier finished speaking, he rubbed his hands, and the two returned to the tent together.
The spy was happy to hear this. So that's what happened. He said that the soldiers came to suppress the bandits but there was no movement. It turned out that they ran into a cowardly official who was trying to deceive his superiors and hide the truth from his subordinates. If such a person went to the battlefield, he would be a deserter, and it would not be unfair for him to be killed by their boss.
"How is it? Did you find any news?" The boss was uneasy. When he saw the spy coming back, he immediately asked.
The spy reported what he saw at the foot of the mountain. The boss's face eased a little after hearing it, but he was still not very reassured. The master was as worried as the boss.
"That's true. Could it be that Han is deliberately setting up a trap to confuse us?"
"That shouldn't be the case. I was very careful and definitely didn't let them find me. There were few people around the tent, and I didn't see Mr. Han. To be on the safe side, I stayed nearby for quite a while. At noon, they only cooked one pot, which was only enough for more than ten people. Even if they hid in the tent and didn't come out, they still had to eat."
"What you said makes sense, but that person wrote that Han was very cunning. We'd better be careful. If it's really that cowardly official who is greedy for life and cowardly, it will save us trouble. Let them fight each other." The big boss said unhappily. Obviously, he didn't have a good impression of the person who cooperated with their village. He just had no choice but to cooperate with him for the survival of the village.
"What the boss said makes sense. Let them fight each other. After all, few officials are good. I thought that Han was a man who came to suppress the bandits. It would be a pity to kill him. Now it seems that they are all the same. There is no good stuff."
"You can't be so sure. Let's wait and see!" The master was still not completely reassured and went to the village to make some arrangements.
The bandits sent spies, and Han Yu also got the news soon. Things went in the direction he arranged. Han Yu did not dare to take it lightly. He also knew that the boss and the master of the mountain village were smart and cautious. When dealing with such people, you can't be careless.
"How is it, what's going on in the mountain village?"
"Sir, it's just as you expected. The boss and the master didn't completely believe it. They are still skeptical. The village has strengthened its vigilance, and it's not easy to get the news out." Liu Cong had a worried look on his face, no longer as careless as usual.
"This is expected. All we can do now is wait for the right time. We have to keep calm before this." Han Yu had expected that things would not be so easy.
After a few days, the bandits saw that Han Yu was still camping at the foot of the mountain, but had no intention of attacking, so they relaxed a little.
Su Wenyue was getting more and more worried. After a few days, there was still no news from Han Yu, and she didn't know whether things were going smoothly.
I don't know if the children can understand Su Wenyue's mood. They are particularly attached to Su Wenyue, especially the eldest child Xing Ge'er. Since Su Wenyue came back from Li's house that day, he changed his previous "calm and cold" every day, and would touch Su Wenyue with his little hands from time to time. Su Wenyue inexplicably felt that there was some comfort in it. Now Su Wenyue no longer deliberately explored whether Xing Ge'er was the Xing Ge'er in her previous life. It seemed that it was not so important whether it was or not. They were all her children.
"Xing Ge'er is such a sensible child." Su Wenyue touched Xing Ge'er's little face, and Xing Ge'er grinned at Su Wenyue. Looking at the three children, Su Wenyue's confusion and worries dissipated a lot, and her heart became much calmer.
Su Wenyue was suddenly awakened by a thunder in the middle of the night. The thunder was so loud that she was afraid of scaring the three children. Su Wenyue hurriedly put on a coat and went to the room of the three children. The nanny also got up to take care of the three children.
Su Wenyue didn't hear the crying of the little guy and breathed a sigh of relief. Children can't stand being scared. Since they didn't cry, they should not be scared.
Su Wenyue was no longer sleepy at this time. The thunder was still hitting outside. She simply stayed with the three little guys. Just when she was about to check whether the quilts of the three little guys were covered, she saw Xing Ge'er staring at her with a pair of dark round eyes. When she looked over, Xing Ge'er smiled, obviously because he was happy to see Su Wenyue coming over.
"Our Xing Ge'er is awake too. What a good child. He was awakened by thunder. Don't be afraid. Mom is with you." Su Wenyue touched Xing Ge'er's forehead and Xing Ge'er smiled even happier.
The mother and son were interacting warmly in the room, but outside there were lightning and thunder. Soon it began to rain heavily. It rained heavily all night without stopping. The next day, the ditch outside was full of water. Su Wenyue looked more and more worried. Such weather was undoubtedly making things worse for Han Yu and the others.
