A daily intelligence report; in chaotic times and famine years, grain is plentiful.

Based on the information obtained from the system and the expressions of the soldiers just now, Chen Mo deduced that Xiao Yunling's main force of the Zhenbei Army must have been transferred to Qingfeng Mountain.

On the Black Wind Ridge side, there weren't many regular troops to be seen, so it seemed that the female general didn't take Chen Mo and his group seriously.

"With the government troops moving so quickly, isn't Qingfeng Village doomed...?"

Liang Ming's tone carried a hint of worry.

Although he had left Qingfeng Village, it was, after all, a place he and his elder brother had built together, and there were many brothers in the village who had gone through thick and thin with him and shared a deep bond.

The government troops under that female general are very difficult to deal with. With the current strength of Qingfeng Village, it would probably be difficult to withstand the siege of the Zhenbei Army.

"How did you find out about this?"

Liang Ming asked with considerable curiosity.

"I was just guessing. I know you might be worried about the safety of Qingfeng Village, but we can't worry about that right now. We can only clear out the enemies in Black Wind Ridge first, and then we'll find another way."

Chen Mo said calmly.

As long as all the people searching the mountain are drawn to Xiling Peak, the camp can be peaceful for a while, and at least they can go out and move around a bit.

Liang Ming remained silent for a moment, then could only nod.

He was well aware that there was no use in worrying about the current situation in Qingfeng Village.

"Let's go back to camp first."

Chen Mo then gave further instructions.

The group turned back into the forest, packed their belongings, and after confirming that the nearby soldiers had completely left, they quickened their pace and cautiously returned to the vicinity of the camp.

As soon as they entered the camp, Sun Dazhu and the others rushed to greet them. They were relieved to see that Chen Mo and the others had returned safely.

"Brother Mo, what's the situation outside?"

Sun Dazhu asked curiously.

Other villagers in the camp also gathered around, asking questions one after another.

These days I've been staying here, constantly worried that the government troops might come looking for me.

"Don't worry, most of the people searching the nearby mountains have left. The government troops are probably besieging Qingfeng Mountain now, so they won't be coming back for at least a short time."

Chen Mo said calmly.

Upon hearing this, a sense of relief appeared on everyone's faces.

Liang Ming stood in the crowd, looking quite worried.

He wanted to personally find out what was going on at Qingfeng Mountain.

Given the current situation, all we can do is wait for news.

……

Qingfeng Village, the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness was bustling with noise.

Lin Lang, carrying a wine jug, put one foot on the table and laughed loudly.

"What did I say? Those government troops are nothing special. Now that they've won two more battles, they definitely won't dare to come back."

As he spoke, he took another big gulp of wine.

"Fourth Boss is still the best. I heard that the leader of that group of government troops is a woman. Haha, how could they possibly be a match for Fourth Boss?"

The crowd below also flattered him.

The hall immediately erupted in laughter.

At this moment, Xu Yuan sat quietly in his seat, his brows furrowed.

He looked at the increasingly arrogant crowd before him and felt inexplicably uneasy.

Most of the people in Qingfeng Village are now blinded by the victories of the past two days and no longer take the government troops seriously.

With Cai Sheng leaving in a huff with dozens of men, Qingfeng Village's strength is no longer what it used to be.

However, Lin Lang still led his men to plunder a lot of supplies from the government troops, causing everyone to underestimate the enemy.

These attacks on the government troops were likely just due to the enemy's laxity and lack of preparedness. If they had actually encountered the main force of the government troops, Qingfeng Village would obviously not have been a match for them.

"Fourth brother, these are just a few minor victories; there's no need to be so boastful. That group of Zhenbei Army soldiers is definitely not to be underestimated. We need to be on guard from now on and not launch any more rash attacks."

Xu Yuan offered his advice in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the noise in the hall instantly subsided by more than half.

Lin Lang glanced at Xu Yuan, casually placed the wine pot on the table, and said with a smile, "Brother, are you scared too? We've already severely damaged the government army's vanguard, so we definitely need to continue the attack and keep them from catching their breath. If we wait for them to regroup and rest, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?"

His words resonated with many people.

Qingfeng Village is currently riding high, and we should press our advantage.

"It's not that we're afraid, but just to be on the safe side. The main force of the Zhenbei Army is still here. If we defend the stronghold, they won't be able to take it down. Why gamble with our brothers' lives?"

Xu Yuan frowned, his words carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

Now, Lin Lang, the fourth leader, clearly considers himself the actual ruler of the entire stronghold and completely disregards the opinions of his elder brother, Xu Yuan.

Even before Liang Ming left, Xu Yuan had already been somewhat sidelined.

Now, Lin Lang has repeatedly made so-called great contributions, and has won over many brothers to follow him.

"Brother, what are you worried about? I heard that the government troops will be sending more soldiers over tomorrow. We'll go and rob them then. We can't let this opportunity slip by."

Lin Lang said nonchalantly.

In his view, Xu Yuan simply didn't want to make a contribution, which would inevitably lead to him taking over the position of the leader.

However, now in the entire Qingfeng Village, the number of subordinates willing to follow Lin Lang has long exceeded the number of the chief's core group.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. If we fall into the government troops' trap, our Qingfeng Village will suffer heavy losses."

Xu Yuan lowered his voice.

"What's there to be afraid of? If we can win the first time, we can win the second, and we'll keep winning! Right, brothers!"

Lin Lang was drunk and shouted loudly.

His men immediately joined in the commotion, shouting that they wanted to follow the fourth leader and make a name for themselves.

Inside the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness, there was another noisy commotion.

Looking at the scene before him, Xu Yuan knew he couldn't persuade them to stay.

Liang Ming and Cai Sheng left one after another, and now Qingfeng Village is basically full of Lin Lang's confidants. Xu Yuan himself, the so-called leader, has long lost his former prestige.

"If you insist on going, I won't stop you, but you must remember to quit while you're ahead and not linger."

Xu Yuan could only offer these words of advice.

"Don't worry, brother. I'll go find you some good wine when I get back tomorrow."

As Lin Lang finished speaking, he strode away from the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness.

The next day, Lin Lang gathered more than two hundred brothers, picked up their weapons, and went down the mountain.

According to the intelligence they gathered after going down the mountain, there will definitely be more government troops' grain transport wagons passing by today.

Two hours passed, and still not a single person was on the official road leading down the mountain.

"Fourth Master, could the intelligence be wrong?"

A bystander asked in confusion.

"What's the rush? After we've robbed this time, we can live a carefree life in the village for several months."

Lin Lang said with considerable confidence.

Another incense stick's time passed, and finally the sound of wheels rolling could be heard in the distance.

Lin Lang and the others immediately perked up and slowly approached, only to see a group of people walking slowly towards them.

Among the guards, there were indeed more than a dozen grain carts, and the guards on both sides numbered only about a hundred.

"They're here!"

Lin Lang immediately perked up.

When the government troops' supply wagons arrived, he immediately shouted, "Brothers, follow me! Kill these government soldiers!"

After saying that, Lin Lang rushed out of the woods first, followed closely by the other brothers.

But this time, something seems different...
