Volume 2 The East Wind Comes Late
The others were also full of suspicion and talked about each other in the hall. They didn't know what the four major bandits were fighting, and why they easily missed the opportunity that was very beneficial to their attack, and chose to curl up without any movement.
Fu Junying was even more anxious. She was determined to take advantage of this opportunity to play with the four major bandits, and she was waiting and standing still. But let alone the four major bandits, even the birds outside the ranch did not show any abnormal behavior. The outside of the ranch seemed to have turned into a pool of stagnant water overnight, with no chance of life. Fu Junying said angrily: "The four major bandits do not abide by the rules of the game at all. Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, they still dared not attack. We must have overestimated them. Hehe, it seems that the four major bandits are famous. They are scared by us and dare not be offensive."
The experienced and calm Shang Zhen was also uneasy at this time, with his brows locked and his expression stiffly walked around the hall, sighing constantly, and hearing a slight sound outside, he immediately rushed to the window to watch. He dropped the four great enemies and hurried into the trap we had arranged in advance, so he didn't say how much trouble he was.
I had no idea at this time. I was really confused about the unexpected behavior of the four great enemies. Although I was sitting quietly in my seat, as if nothing was wrong, I was more anxious than anyone in this room. After all, this plan can be said to have been arranged carefully by me. Not only did I waste a lot of manpower and material resources, but I also used the safety of the entire ranch as a bet. There was no mistake at all. Once I failed, I could only disappear from the Tang Dynasty immediately and never show up. But in this way, it would inevitably cause a significant blow to my confidence and have an immeasurable impact on my grand tycoon in the real world in the future. So I would never allow such a situation to happen.
Time passed by seconds, but it was still deadly quiet outside. Since in our plan, the offensive of the four major bandits should have been launched more than an hour ago, we simply asked Shang Xiuxun to issue an order to close the field, ordering all the people in the ranch, except soldiers to stay in their homes without leaving home. In order to prevent the scene from being too motivated and beyond the safe range that our troops could control, some crossbows were specially issued to each household, and the weapons and bows and arrows that each household had on weekdays were enough to deal with the small harassment of more than a dozen people.
Shang Xiuxun sometimes looked at Shang Zhen who was anxious and strolling in the hall; sometimes he quickly walked to the window and looked at the hourglass outside the hall. Although he was also extremely anxious, he saw that I still didn't say a word and sat in the seat with my eyes closed, so he had to swallow the questions in his heart back into his stomach.
Wei Zhenzhen knew that Shang Xiuxun was the master of a battle, and the great risk of this battle was even more closely related to the survival of the entire ranch. If he won, he would still have a glimmer of hope. He would repel the enemy's attack, weaken the enemy's morale, and eliminate part of the enemy's strength, so that they could not launch a second attack in a row, thus gaining a precious time for themselves to wait for rescue. Failure would be the destruction of the entire ranch, and the entire ranch would be removed from the world from now on, and most people would die tragically under the swords of the four major enemies. Those who survived could only become slaves to the enemy and live a dark life. How could such a huge burden not make her anxious as a delicate woman?
Fu Junmao and Wei Zhenzhen looked at each other and saw the other's concern for Shang Xiuxun. So they walked gracefully to Shang Xiuxun, gently hugged Shang Xiuxun, and then nodded to me, indicating that she would relax, that I would still be there, and that the conspiracy of the four major thieves would succeed.
Fu Junmao also gently held Shang Xiuxun's little hand, feeling that her hands were as cold as the deep pool of winter, and she was shaking slightly. It can be seen that the anxiety in her heart had already reached the limit that a daughter who had never experienced strong winds and waves could bear. A feeling of pity rose in her heart and comforted her: "Xiuxun, please rest assured, and your husband is forgiven for his four great enemies. What kind of risks have you not experienced in the pasture for more than a hundred years since its establishment? Isn't it possible to be safe and sound?
Until now, no force can destroy the entire ranch, let alone the four major bandits. Even if they are giving them twice the troops, their tricks will not succeed." Fu Junhuai said this, but he knew it in his mind. This time it was really an unprecedented test for the Pegasus Ranch. If it was enough to deal with one of the four major bandits, it would be enough to protect himself, but behind it there is a world-famous "Jianghuai Army" staring at them, which is far beyond the power that the Pegasus Ranch can deal with.
With the comfort of Wei Zhenzhen and Fu Junhao, Shang Xiuxun felt a little calmer, but this could not play a fundamental role after all.
Shang Xiuxun looked at the girls who cared about her in the hall at this moment, and a trace of warmth and sweetness immediately surged up. Then he couldn't help but turn his eyes to me, who was still silent, with a erratic expression. All kinds of complex emotions were entangled at this time, and they couldn't be cut and chaotic.
I suddenly opened my eyes, and my eyes flashed with bright light, and I said in a deep voice: "What time is it now?"
Shang Zhen had been looking forward to my words for a long time, and finally heard me speak. He was surprised in his heart and quickly walked to me. He answered before the others said: "It will take a while for the time being. It will be dawn for not long, but there is still no movement outside, let alone the four major bandits. What should I do? Have they already learned the opportunity and understood our plan?"
I looked at Shang Zhen with an anxious look on his face and smiled, "Haha, I just asked Mr. Shang, but you asked several questions at once, and it was even more done in one go. Which question should I answer first?"
What Shang Zhen asked was also what others thought, so Shang Xiuxun and Zhenzhen and other women were also looking forward to it, quietly waiting for my answer. I was not anxious at all, and I was still in a state of joking with Shang Zhen. Shang Xiuxun said coldly: "We are already anxious now and are ants on the hot pan. Why are Brother Long still in a state of joking?"
Wei Zhenzhen and Fu Junhao, who were accompanying Shang Xiuxun, suddenly heard this cold and reproachful question, and were stunned. The careful expression on their faces was immediately frozen and stiffened. They opened their mouths slightly and stared at Shang Xiuxun intently. It was really hard to believe that the cold and chilling words just now were said from her mouth.
The expressions of the other women also solidified in an instant. The eyes of Shang Xiuxun no longer had the care he had just now, and instead they were a little surprised and angry, because for them, I have undoubtedly become the most precious existence in their lives. Any harm to me, even the irrelevant verbal harm, is unforgivable to them.
Wei Zhenzhen and Fu Junhao were stunned for a while, with a slightly angry expression on their faces. They looked at Shang Xiuxun coldly, let go of their hands, and retreated from her.
The most surprising thing is myself. I never expected that Shang Xiuxun, who had always been respectful and good at me, had a soft voice, suddenly made a 180-degree turn and replied coldly. Although he still called me "Brother Long", his tone was a bit unkind, and it made people feel that he was deliberately sarcastic, as if I was the real sinner who caused this situation. I was furious in my heart, and I really wanted to throw my sleeves and get up and leave immediately, and no longer care about the troubles of her Pegasus Ranch, letting her die. But I didn't do this after all, forcing myself to suppress the anger in my heart and said calmly: "Business owners should not be angry, let me say slowly, then the owners will know."
Shang Zhen was as surprised as anyone in the hall. He knew that his niece's eldest lady had an unconscious temper and was slightly angry but even helpless. At this time, she saw that the intimate attitude of Wei Zhenzhen and other women disappeared immediately. She looked at Shang Xiuxun coldly like a stranger, and then listened to my tone, and quickly turned her head and shouted to Shang Xiuxun in a deep voice: "Why does Xiuxun speak like this! Didn't Tianxiao keep working hard for the comfort of the ranch? She is so young and ignorant, and she doesn't matter how serious you speak. Why don't you quickly apologize to Tianxiao?"
As soon as he said that, Shang Xiuxun regretted it and was also shocked on the spot. He was obviously very affectionate to me, so how could he say such cold and hurtful words? Seeing Wei Zhenzhen and others at this time, they regarded him as strangers, and his beloved man also spoke coldly to him. His annoyance filled his heart like waves. He really wanted to throw himself into his arms and cry and tell him that this was not her intention and asked him for forgiveness. However, Shang Zhen's words really aroused the stubborn temper of a daughter who had already formed in his heart.
Shang Xiuxun looked at Shang Zhen with an expressionless face, and then said to me coldly: "Brother Long, the little girl's words were so offensive just now, so please don't bother with me." But he was making such a painful struggle in his heart: Oh my God, what am I doing? No, this is not what I mean, how could I say such things again?"
I said, "The owner is too worried." Then he never looked at Shang Xiuxun again, turned his head to Shang Zhen and asked, "Can Mr. Shang tell me the time when the ranch starts to start activities in one day?"
Shang Zhen glared at Shang Xiuxun with reproach, then looked at me, and said a little embarrassedly: "From the daily schedule of the ranch, two incense sticks have just passed, what's wrong? Is it a problem?"
I smiled after hearing this and replied, "The good question is here."
"Oh? Why?" Shang Zhen asked hurriedly.
I explained: "We underestimated the talents of the four major bandits. It seems that Cao Yinglong is also a scheming person. I think Mao Ji went back yesterday and must have given Cao Yinglong the original retelling of our conversation that he heard in the stable hour. Cao Yinglong knew that he was suspicious of Mao Ji's words, so although he was secretly deploying the ranch, he did not attack directly, but observed the movements in the ranch."
Shang Zhenqi said: "Observe our movements? It's not yet bright, what can he observe?"
I smiled and said, "He is waiting for time. If we still have the same schedule as usual, it means that we have not set up ambush on the ranch in detail for their attacks. After all, not all drunk people are drunk. As long as someone is sober, he will still follow the usual schedule, unless the ranch has made special arrangements. So we have been instructed to see that there is still no normal schedule in the ranch. He must have expected that we have made careful arrangements and will naturally not send people to attack again."
Everyone in the hall suddenly realized, and Shang Zhen screamed in surprise and said anxiously to himself: "What... what should I do?" Then he fixed his eyes on my face and waited for my answer.
I smiled and said, "Boss Shang, don't worry, Cao Yinglong has his Zhang Liang plan, and I'll pass the wall ladder. I'm sure he will send his subordinates to launch a sneak attack on the ranch after midnight tonight, so we can use a plan to ambush them tonight with everything we have deployed now, so that he can get the consequences. Now, please ask Mr. Shang to continue to give instructions and immediately restore the pasture's daily activities, but do not mobilize the cavalry that has been ambushed. They are strictly prohibited from acting without permission. Be sure to ensure concealment, because every move of the entire ranch is under the strict surveillance of the enemy. We just need to wait for the arrival of midnight."
After hearing this, Shang Zhen stomped his feet and shouted, "Magic plan, a brilliant plan!" He immediately smiled and his depression just now disappeared. He praised him with a smile: "It's still Tianxiao's talent, haha, when you can let you gallop today. I immediately ordered and immediately ordered someone to do what you want. Haha, success or failure depends on tonight."
Shang Xiuxun's heart was overturned with five flavor bottles, including sour, bitter, spicy and salty, sour, depression, anger, regret and other various emotions were intricately entangled together, forming a long whip that whipped her heart. Who knows the pain in her heart? Now she finally tasted the consequences of her temper brought to her. She could only silently pray in her heart that I wasn't really angry and ignored her. But how could I say the temperament that has been developed for twenty years? The expression on her face was still lukewarm.
