The Show Begins
The people from the five clans returned, leaving behind two thousand gold taels.
At this time, the news that Lin Fei was going to divide the gold equally among all the soldiers had spread throughout the military camp, so everyone was beside the gold, waiting for Lin Fei to divide the gold among them.
Seeing 3,000 people staring at him, Lin Fei smiled and said,"How about this, we'll keep the gold in the military camp first. After all, our brothers still have to go hunt down the bandits. It's not convenient if everyone carries gold bars with them.”
"Besides, to be honest, we're here to hunt down the bandits, so it's hard to say if we'll be dead or alive. If we carry the gold bars with us, we'll lose our lives and our money if anything happens to us. How about this? We'll leave the gold in the camp and leave a hundred brothers to watch over it. We'll split it after we're done with the bandits. If any of our brothers meet with misfortune, I'll definitely send his share to his family. What do you think?”
"Sure."
"That's all."
"That's for the best."
After hearing Lin Fei's arrangement, the soldiers nodded in agreement. No one suspected that Lin Fei was lying to them.
After all, the gold could be said to have been brought back by Lin Fei alone. As the general and the highest military director here, even if Lin Fei took all the gold for himself and did not give it to them at all, they had nothing to say.
Seeing that the soldiers were all fighting to express their opinions, Lin Fei smiled.
In the future, these soldiers would follow him with all their hearts. It would not be like what happened outside Chang 'an City. Because Cheng Chumo was not convinced, no one listened to his orders.
Now, even if Cheng Chumo made a scene, as long as he gave the order, these soldiers would definitely take him down.
To be honest, although he was not angry when he was outside Chang 'an, he was also very unhappy. He was not as comfortable as he was now.
Lin Fei smiled happily and waved his hand." After receiving their money, we have to work. Go and prepare. We will leave in two hours.”
Hearing Lin Fei's order, the soldiers immediately agreed in unison and dispersed to prepare.
Two hours later, Lin Fei set off with Cheng Chumo, Li Chengqian, and two thousand soldiers. Qin Yuhuai brought six hundred soldiers with him to escort food to the villages and counties in Shandong Province to provide disaster relief. One hundred people stayed in the military camp to look after the gold. The remaining three hundred people were arranged by Lin Fei to be secretly taken out of the military camp by a chiliarch to follow the people sent by the five families.
Lin Fei knew that the five families would definitely not believe him, so when he told the outside world, it was Qin Yuhuai who had brought 9,000 people with Governor Chen to provide disaster relief.
In order to make the five clans believe him, he deliberately brought 2,000 people to search in the opposite direction of the people sent by the five clans.
But even so, the five families were still not at ease. They deliberately sent out some men of sacrifice to obstruct them along the way and even deliberately created a hiding place for the bandits.
When Lin Fei led his men in, he realized that the sacks were not filled with food, but soil.
Lin Fei was not angry at this situation. Everything was under his control.
However, every time he encountered obstruction, Lin Fei would remember it. After all the food was found, he would slowly settle the score with the five families. After all, it was very tiring for him to kill those men of sacrifice. Moreover, one of the soldiers was slightly injured.
"General, are these people really bandits? Why are they so desperate?”Cheng Chumo looked at the corpses on the ground and asked suspiciously. Those men of sacrifice didn't care about their lives at all, and they even took special care of him, almost causing him to be injured just now.
"Yes and no. When the five families are fine, they are bandits. When the five families are in trouble, they are death warriors. So now, they are not bandits. Of course, they must have robbed the food.”
Lin Fei gently kicked the corpse in front of him. He did not understand why these people would give up their lives for the five families.
At this moment, Li Chengqian frowned and looked behind him. He said worriedly,"General, they haven't moved for so long. Could it be that they've discovered our intentions?”
After Li Chengqian was punished by Lin Fei outside Chang 'an City, he had been calling Lin Fei General in front of the soldiers. Only when there was no one else would he directly call Lin Fei by his name.
"No, if they found out, they definitely wouldn't be probing or misleading us. Instead, they would directly lose those rations.
I haven't received any news of them losing food yet, which means they're just testing us and haven't discovered our intentions.”
As soon as Lin Fei finished speaking, he heard an explosion from afar.
It was the sound of gunpowder exploding. Aside from them, no one else in the Great Tang had gunpowder left.
"Let's go. The show is starting. Let's hurry over.”After saying that, Lin Fei took the lead and rushed forward. The others followed suit.
