Chapter 929: Nothing in Vain
Guan Dahu and others have been going to Heifeng Village to "negotiate business" for several days in a row, and they have become familiar with the brothers on the mountain.
The leader of the village is nicknamed "Yidao" and has already become brothers with Guan Dahu and others.
The discussion lasted until night. Guan Dahu said: "The emperor only cares about himself and does not care about the life or death of others. Our brothers will remove the stones he used to build the imperial mausoleum. He will be so angry that he will have something to talk about with the younger ones in the future. I won't either. For nothing else, I just want to vent my anger."
Wiping his beard with a knife, he laughed loudly and said: "Refreshing! I like to deal with refreshing people like Brother Guan. To be honest, I have heard of the reputation of your Qingtian League in the early years. Your Qingtian League has great influence in the south. Big, all the men inside are like this."
He gave a thumbs up, "Brother, I'm not telling you this. If someone comes to tell me about this matter, I can't take my brothers to do it even if they come three hundred times, let alone three times." This might be a head-scratching thing.
"But the brothers in the Qingtian League are convinced by your work, and I won't be polite to you. Three thousand taels, even if it is the settling-in allowance that the brothers give to the mother-in-law and the children at home, I will take the brothers below with me. , just go with your big tiger brother, isn't it just moving rocks? He has to give him the emperor, and anyone who backs out will be a dog! "
"Okay!" Guan Dahu laughed, holding the wine bowl and touching it with a knife.
He took a sip of the knife, laughed happily, put his arm around Guan Dahu's shoulders and said: "Brother, hey, from now on, our Black Wind Village and Qingtian Alliance will also know each other, and we will become our own people. The stronghold is in the north, and the Blue Sky Alliance is mainly in the south. If anything happens, just say a word to your brother Dahu! Come on, do it!"
"Dry!"
The two of them had another bowl.
The meal lasted until midnight. Although Dahu was quite drunk after eating, he still paid the three thousand taels of silver and agreed to do it on the night of May 16th.
After finishing the wine, Guan Dahu declined the offer of a knife and took Liu Ban down the mountain.
Liu Ban also had a drink, but he didn't care that Dahu ate too much. The two returned to the suburbs to live in a small house temporarily. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Liu Ban asked: "Brother, you gave the money in advance. You said it was illegal." Will those people from Fengzhai default on their debt and refuse to come with us?"
Guan Dahu opened his mouth, let out a long wine burp, shook his head and said: "He doesn't know how, haven't you noticed? That guy with a knife is a very clever guy. What he's looking at is not our brothers." We are looking at the Qingtian League behind us. All the brothers on the road know that the Qingtian League is very powerful. No matter how good their Black Wind Village is,
He is just a man who dominates the mountain. He has at most a hundred brothers. When the brothers of the Qingtian League gather together, they are not something they can deal with.
"By agreeing to my deal, not only can they earn a sum of money, but they can also talk to the Blue Sky Alliance. They are very happy. Besides, no one would have guessed that a group of bandits stole the lost stones. Bandits If you have time, go and rob houses, who is going to steal rocks?”
Liu Ban scratched the back of his head and chuckled: "Brother, you have thought it through. That's the truth. Then we can rest easy and wait until the 16th to take action."
"Yes." Guan Dahu lay down on the kang, listening to the lingering sound of rain outside, and said, "Now let's pray that there won't be a big moon on the night of the 16th."
"No." Liu Ban assured, "I don't know about other things, but I will still read this. After all, we used to farm, so we understand the weather. The rain has not stopped for a month and a half, and the clouds are thick. On the 16th, it’s guaranteed to be a dark night with no moon or stars.”
Guan Dahu felt relieved after hearing this. He was drunk and snored with his mouth open.
Liu Ban, on the other hand, was thinking about the large sum of gold and silver that he was about to get, and about the days when he would have beauties in his arms, enjoy the hot food and drink spicy food, and he was so excited that he didn't sleep for half the night.
In the next two days, Liu Ban and Guan Dahu, together with the rest of their brothers, observed the situation near the stone quarry and knew the terrain well.
He also counted the carriages needed to move the stones and the carriages in the village.
Finally, the route for smuggling the stones and the final location for hiding the stones will also be clearly arranged.
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
The fifteenth day was still a rainy day.
The continuous rain did not make people like Guan Dahu and Liu Ban feel irritated. Tomorrow is the day of action, and everyone is too excited to sleep.
In the middle of the night, the brothers were gathering around a simple wooden table, eating meat and drinking wine from large bowls by the light of an oil lamp.
Suddenly, there was a faint noise from the northwest.
Guan Dahu was half drunk. Hearing the sound, he put down his wine bowl and cursed with a smile: "Grandma, what's going on on the mountain?"
"Whatever, that group of people go to 'do business' every now and then. Maybe they'll get some good stuff. How about celebrating?" Liu Ban said with a smile.
The drunkards all nodded, and they all thought that trading without capital was really good. If you use your energy and scare people, you can get a lot of money.
At midnight, everyone was tired from drinking and eating, so they each found a place to sleep.
In the afternoon of the next day, the group of people prepared the car, carefully checked the transportation route, and headed to Heifeng Village chatting and laughing.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the walk, several of them felt something was wrong at the same time.
"Brother, what's wrong with the footprints on the ground?"
Guan Dahu also lowered his head.
It had rained all night and the road up the mountain was very muddy. The messy footprints on the ground were deeply sunken and filled with muddy water.
Guan Dahu knelt down to check, his expression gradually becoming serious.
These footprints clearly come from people going up and down the mountain, and most of them look like they were made by official boots!
"Not good. I'm afraid Black Wind Village is..."
Guan Dahu stood up and looked at the mountain hesitantly.
Liu Ban also saw something wrong with the footprints and said anxiously: "Isn't that mountain copied by the government and the city defenders? Brother, let me go up and have a look!"
"Don't! Don't act rashly!"
Guan Dahu turned around and walked down the mountain, not forgetting to call the brothers, "There is no guarantee that there are no other officers and soldiers staying on the mountain. If we rush up hastily, we will send the sheep into the tiger's mouth. If the people of the imperial court really wipe out the stronghold, they will definitely If you want to publicize it to the outside world to show your merits, let’s go back and wait for the news.”
"But brother, our three thousand taels of silver have already been given to the Shanzhai. If they don't do anything for us, what should we do?"
Guan Dahu stopped and turned around suddenly to glare at Liu Ban: "Do you want to lose your money and even help others?"
Liu Ban was speechless for a moment and stared at Guan Dahu with red eyes.
He knew that Guan Dahu was right.
But their brothers finally managed to free up so much money, but it was all gone before it even made a sound! The money in their hands has long been used. If they want to prepare money to hire people, on the one hand, they have no way to get the money, and on the other hand, they can't find anyone more suitable than Heifeng Village. !
Everyone was furious, but there was nothing they could do.
We went down the mountain in silence all the way, and then returned to Huichuan City in the rain. We saw a notice posted in a conspicuous place in front of the city gate. Even with such heavy rain, there were still a few people around to watch. The literate people read the contents of the notice and said with great joy: "The imperial army has wiped out the bandits! We are finally at peace here!"
"Great! This way we can have a good sleep at night!"
The people were simply celebrating.
But when Guan Dahu and others heard the good news, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Liu Ban almost shed manly tears on the spot, "Brother, what should I do? What should I do?"
"Hold on to me!" Guan Dahu pinched Liu Ban's arm and scolded him softly. Then he pulled him and walked out of the crowd.
The others also followed Guan Dahu's steps in a daze.
Arriving at the house they rented in the city, several people sat down around the table, all with sad faces.
Liu Ban gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "Those useless people are just destined to be bandits for the rest of their lives! How come they were caught if they can't withstand big things?"
"It doesn't matter if they are captured. They are all dead and have nothing to do with us. It's just..." Guan Dahu said hesitantly, "I'm worried that they will recognize what we are going to do. If those officers and soldiers Knowing that someone is eyeing the stones used to build the imperial tomb, I am afraid that the defense will be stepped up, and we may not have a chance to make a move then."
Several people were anxious when they heard this.
"What should I do? Brother, please think of a way."
"Yes, brother, if they really recruit us, will the officers and soldiers come? Should we find another place to live?"
Guan Dahu had a headache and scolded in a low voice: "Okay, don't panic. I'll think of a way."

Compared with the worries of Guan Dahu and others, Qin Yining felt very comfortable here.
"I didn't expect that the prince would move so quickly. This will save us a lot of trouble." Bingtang Jiang smiled and organized the dowry box.
Jiyun was also tidying up his clothes and baggage quickly.
Qin Yining lowered his head and tied his girdle, "He always has a way. Now that we have found the house, I think it will be time for the prince to come."
"That's right." Ji Yun said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please come quickly. If Your Majesty doesn't come, will the Princess get lovesick?"
Qin Yining chuckled upon hearing this, "When did you learn to speak glibly?"
Seeing that Qin Yining was blushing without shame, Ji Yun said with some frustration: "It's not all the princess's fault. Every time you learn from Bingtang's little hooves, you don't say nice things, and you specialize in bullying others."
Bingtang laughed and said, "With Guard Tang hanging in front of your eyes all day long, of course you won't get lovesick."
"Hey, Hu Zi is coming soon, are you very happy too?" Ji Yun retorted.
Bingtang's face turned red and she hummed, "Yes, I'm just very happy."
Qin Yining watched the two maids quarreling and shook her head in amusement. This was her latest pleasure. Ever since Jiyun and Tang Xiu had become suspicious, the two of them in her house often made fun of each other, and then both blushed in embarrassment.
"Hey, it's true that women are not allowed to stay in college." Qin Yining pretended to sigh, and walked out of the house with his hands behind his back to put on his clogs.
Ji Yun and Bingtang were speechless for a moment.
When it comes to teasing skills, the princess is better.
"Master, the carriage is ready." Tang Xiu replied in the yard.
