It was already noon on the second day when they woke up. The fat girl was guarding them and was poking their nostrils with a dog's tail grass. It was obvious that the fat girl was tired of waiting and was too bored.

Tai Yonglu hugged his sister and rolled around on the bed twice, making the fat girl laugh and completely waking up Tai Yongyue and Chen Ruiyang...

When they heard that their grandfather was going to lead people to hunt down the Rakshasa Japs, the three boys felt itchy. They began to make a painful choice between going south and killing the enemy. In the end, they were slapped by Yang Lihua and got on the carriage heading south!

And the old man also set off with the enemy-killing team. The soldiers and generals of Tunhe Guards were living in dire straits during this period.

It stands to reason that most of the Rakshasa Japs have been captured, and there are only a hundred or ten left. They can easily deal with them with their strength.

But these Rakshasa devils didn't know if they had made some kind of death vow when they entered the customs. They didn't even think about escaping from the customs, they just focused on causing trouble everywhere.

Wherever the Tunhe Guard soldiers went, they avoided that area and went to an inconspicuous small village to set fire to and kill people. When the Tunhe Guard soldiers arrived, they disappeared again.

If the tracing is stricter, they will go into the mountains to hide. The heavy snow in the mountains and forests did not hinder them at all, and even ferocious beasts became their food!

This is simply a flea in the bed, irritating and powerless.

Therefore, Mr. Tai led his team to meet the soldiers of Tunhe Guard and explained that he wanted to help eliminate the remaining Rakshasa devils.

Although the soldiers and generals of Tunhe Guard welcomed him, they were disapproving of it. After all, they were all helpless, and a group of farmers with hatchets were even more helpless.

No, they really made a mistake this time!

There are veterans who are good at tracking in the Tai family team, and there is the famous Mr. Tai. He is warmly welcomed by the people in almost every village he goes to. This family cooks porridge, and that family kills chickens and stews. They ask questions and say anything, eager to help. lead the way.

In just two days, the Tai family team captured three Rakshasa Japs hiding in the mountains and forests, saving a nearby small village from being burned to death.

The villagers knelt down and kowtowed gratefully, and their hearts that had been held high for many days also dropped a little. The young and strong men in the village were inspired to join the team one after another.

After staying for half a month, the team of more than 60 people actually grew to 200 people...

The most gratifying thing is that most of the Rakshasa Japs were also captured!

After Tunhewei heard about it, his face really felt hot, but the burden on his shoulders was also much lighter. He felt really complicated in his heart!

Let's not talk about the north, just say that the Chen family's convoy went all the way south, which did not arouse suspicion. After all, there have always been people who went south to escape the war. If things get delayed, there's nothing wrong with just getting to the end and getting back on the road.

Even after leaving Tai'an County, some people actually noticed that the Chen family's convoy had good security capabilities, and followed the convoy one after another, shamelessly becoming a traveling companion.

Every time he stopped to camp or stay overnight, the stewards of these people would come to Chen Zhao to chat and give him snacks such as snacks.

This was an advantage for Zhuzhu. Not only did she not suffer any pain while walking and stopping all the way, she actually gained some weight...

Occasionally when passing through a county or prefectural city, the convoy would stay for an extra day, and Chen Zhao would contact local landowners and grain merchants to purchase grain.

The world is not peaceful, so keeping more food is the confidence to survive, but this also depends on the situation. If a war breaks out and the Rakshasa devils come to kill me, I won’t be able to take away too much food in a hurry, so it would be more convenient to exchange it for money.

In order to persuade the grain merchants and landowners, Chen Zhao often spoke ill of the border guards without conscience, such as saying that the military was weak and could not defeat the Rakshasa devils, and that the border was about to be broken. Of course, grain merchants and landowners are not fools and will not listen to his words.

As a result, three "innocent and simple" boys became key figures.

Every time they followed Chen Zhao to meet someone, and Chen Zhao was eating and drinking with the vendor in the box, they would be pulled away by the vendor's boy or steward to talk alone, and would be handed some delicious "bribes".

Today, the little steward was more generous. He bought roasted chestnuts with sugar, and several people ate them together. They were fragrant and sweet.

Chen Ruiyang said smoothly, "Zhuzhu must like eating these chestnuts, remember to buy some and take them back."

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue both said yes.

The little steward rolled his eyes and said, "Do you have chestnuts in the north? We have them all over the mountains and plains here, there are so many of them!"

Tai Yonglu shook his head and responded, "We don't have chestnuts there, but there are fungus and hazelnuts in the mountains. It's a pity that they came out in a hurry, otherwise I would bring some for you to try."

"Yes," Tai Yongyue also took over the conversation and sighed, "The hazelnuts at our place are the most delicious, but unfortunately we didn't pick many this year. How to blame the damn Rakshasa devils!"

The young steward's eyes brightened, and he asked quietly, "We were far away, so we heard a few words. Are the Rakshasa devils really that powerful? You know how powerful our border guards are, and the city walls are high. The Rakshasa devils will be exhausted." You can’t even get in!”

Chen Ruiyang sneered and responded, "The border guards are pretty powerful, but they don't have enough to eat. Who can use swords and guns? I heard that the imperial court doesn't provide military rations at all. The border guards have no choice but to look for food everywhere and take away all the food from our master's house." Take it away. It won’t work if you don’t give it!

"Otherwise, our master wouldn't be able to take his family south to escape the disaster, and still think about buying food and sending it back to support the clan."

"That's right," Tai Yonglu also complained, "the old masters of our master's family are really stubborn. They say that the leaves have fallen to their roots and refuse to move, which makes our master waste this effort. If they starve to death, our master's reputation will be ruined!"

Chen Ruiyang spat out the chestnut shells in his mouth, looked around, and cautiously advised, "Let's just say less. I always feel that there are Rakshasa devils everywhere, and they might come out from somewhere and kill!"

"Oh, you are really scared out of your wits. We are thousands of miles away from the border!" The steward didn't take it seriously. Chen Ruiyang probably thought that he was laughing at his timidity, so he held his neck and tried to defend himself.

"What do you know! I said earlier that the border guards were so tight, but the Rakshasa devils sneaked over and started killing people and setting fires everywhere. I don't know how many people died! How many days have we been walking? Maybe by this time, the border gate has been breached. A thousand miles is nothing, the Rakshasa cavalry will come here in two days and two nights! By then the heads will be rolling and the blood will flow like rivers, huh, you will know how to be afraid!"

The young steward subconsciously shrank his neck and did not dare to ask any more questions. He only asked the three boys to eat chestnuts quickly.

At dusk, Chen Zhao took the three boys back to the inn where they had temporarily settled. Zhuzhu was so happy holding the hot candied roasted chestnuts, and a rainbow fart made her brothers smile.

Yang Lihua sat aside and talked to Chen Zhao. When asked how the grain buying business was, Chen Zhao smiled and said, "These three guys are getting better and better at deceiving people. I guess there will be results tonight."

Sure enough, at night, the steward who had been so frightened during the day came to deliver the letter, and the business was done! (End of chapter)
