Chapter 229 New Year's Eve Opportunity
Fan Yao smiled.

Su Yun, who was acquainted over there, had already pulled Wei Meng together and led a group of people from the Chu family village into the cottage.

Duan Yi watched, and said to Fan Yao's wife Zhenniang, "Is Yuheng okay?"

She still remembered that when she and Cui Zigeng slid down the mountain path of Wuping Mountain and chased Duan Sixian into the Chu Family Village, the first person they met was the little doll Yuheng riding an iron-eating beast.

She also wanted to ride an iron-eating beast, but the idea was too useless, so she could only dream about it.

Later, Zhenniang healed her injury, and she also saw her tattered clothes, so she changed them for her own.

Speaking of which, in Chu Family Village, she received almost all kindness.

When Zhenniang heard her son's name, the expression on her face softened a little, "He is very good, he has been enlightened with Master. I came here to learn medical skills from Qi Lang Middle School. Ao Xu said that he is very skilled in medicine, especially good at detoxification .”

Duan Yi smiled slightly, and her affection for Zhenniang doubled.

Seeing that she was different from what she had expected, Zhenniang couldn't help asking, "Don't you think that I came out because I wanted to take care of Fan Yao, and that's a bit unruly?"

Duan Yi spread her hands and pointed to the robe on her body, "Men have three wives and four concubines. They like the new and dislike the old. Why don't you say that they don't obey their husbands? I occupy the mountain as the king and want to divide the world. My sister thinks that I don't obey the law. Women's way?"

Zhenniang laughed lightly.

Duan Yi blinked at her, stood side by side with Zhenniang, and walked towards the village.

Zhenniang watched, but her footsteps faltered without a trace, and she let Duan Yi take a small step first.

As soon as Zhenniang entered the village, a black and white figure rushed over and hugged her thigh.

Duan Yi watched, her eyes turned red with envy, and she shed bitter tears for herself, "Nizi usually sleeps unconscious when he sees me back, and he doesn't even bother to lift his eyelids."

Zhenniang bent down, picked up Lingji, and weighed it in her hand.

"You took good care of it, it has become much heavier, and its fur is white and clean. When I was in the village, I delivered all the iron-eating beasts, and I also took care of and trained them when I was young."

As Zhenniang said, she grabbed the back of Lingji's neck and put it on the ground.

"It's so big, you still want to hug it? It's not a baby," she said, looking at Duan Yi, "Don't get used to it, it's just lazy."

Seeing the inspiration, Duan Yi shook her hair, rubbed it on her leg aggrievedly, hugged it distressedly, and patted its head.

She doesn't want to get used to it!

But I can't stand it, this is an iron-eating beast!Who can resist the coquettishness of an iron-eating beast!
She was like King Zhou of Shang who met Su Daji, with only one thought in her mind, get used to it!Give it whatever it wants!
Zhenniang saw it and stopped persuading her.

There are people in this world who are willing to marry a snake, so it is not unusual for Duan Yi to raise the horse as her son.

……

The white horse passed by, and today is New Year's Eve.

Duan Yi was sitting on the watchtower, and the thin sunset fell on Duan's army who was doing exercises, like a layer of golden light.

What Mr. Qi said is right, the arrival of Fan Yao, Ao Xu and others has simply relieved her urgent need.

They are all good at forging weapons and armors. In just a short time, Qingniu Mountain has changed its guns, and finally all of them put on the fiery red armors and took the weapons at hand.

The clothes that were like prison clothes before were covered up, and the bad breath of the bandit-born people was suddenly covered up, making them look like dogs.

Maybe it was the pig that was slaughtered that night, the cooked meat was too fragrant, or maybe it was Fan Yao who seemed too innocent.

Qi Langzhong led Fan Yao and Su Yun to the nearby villages and towns to recruit soldiers, one after another, they recruited about five hundred more people.Now on this hill, there are already [-] fighters capable of fighting.

Duan Yi looked down, and on the quiet Qingniu Mountain, there was a huge crowd of people, like flaming ants, shouting together, unexpectedly also aroused an aura of swallowing mountains and rivers.

Although the dilapidated Qingniu cottage in the past doesn't look very good now, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

On both sides of the spacious school grounds, there are neat military camps, Zhenniang's medical center, Fanyao's blacksmith's shop, Lao Niu's kitchen, and the meeting hall that has been occupied by Mr. Qi all year round.

A little more remote, there are war horses in neat stables, and wintersweet flowers are in full bloom.

When it is quiet at night, you can still hear the ding-dong mountain spring.

"Recently scouts came to harass us. Obviously we are making too much noise. Zhang Yan of Jingling City can't sit still." Qi Langzhong stood beside Duan Yi and looked in the direction of Jingling City.

That Zhang Yan is neither deaf nor blind, so how can he not know that there is an extra army suddenly appearing under his nose.

Now that it's the New Year's Eve, he still doesn't know Duan Yi's movements, so he won't move for the time being, but if Duan Yi continues to recruit troops, then Zhang Yan may not be planning for a rainy day, but will make a move first.

"This Qingniu Mountain is good, but it is not a long-term solution after all. Because it has no tax revenue, no grain depot, it just sits and eats nothing."

Why do bandits always fail to win the government?

The reason why the local government is called the local government is because it has the whole place as its backing.

Even though Jingling is a very small prefecture with only three counties in total, it is much easier for them to raise soldiers than Duan Yi.

With so many people staying on Qingniu Mountain, just eating can make people poor.

Duan Yi looked at Qi Langzhong, only to see his worried expression.

Duan Yi looked at it, stroked her non-existent beard, and looked towards the sky, "Sir, I watch the sky every day, and today's New Year's Eve is the night when the Nian Beast appears. I wait for Dai Hong's army to go out, it must be The top can exorcise evil spirits, the bottom can control ghosts, and it is auspicious to go to war!"

Qi Lang was stunned, "What did you say, we are not prepared for anything, how can we rush out?"

Duan Yi chuckled, "Didn't you say that at the beginning? Zhang Yan sent scouts to investigate, and they often hang around Qingniu Mountain. If we make preparations in advance, the other party will also be prepared."

"We have few people, and head-to-head confrontation will be a bloody battle. It's better to take advantage of New Year's Eve and catch them unprepared."

Zhou people attach great importance to New Year's Day. This is the day when you are a family reunion and offering sacrifices to your ancestors. The army in Jingling City would never have imagined that on such a day, someone would attack the city.

Qi Langzhong thought about it, calculated it in his heart, and said, "It's worth a fight."

Duan Yi's eyes flickered, "Sir, I have a plan here, so that we can take that Jingling City. At that time, we will take over Zhang Yan's [-] elite soldiers. No matter where we fight, we will have a chance to fight." force."

As Duan Yi said, she leaned into Qi Langzhong's ear and muttered.

Qi Langzhong listened, picked up his crutches, and tremblingly walked down the watchtower, "Why don't you keep up? Are you really going to celebrate the New Year in this bandit village?"
