The light rain fell in the sky, and the dark clouds covered the afternoon sun. Six men in green uniforms jumped off their horses and walked into the bamboo forest in the mountain. Behind the mountain was a huge city built along the river. The city of rain and smoke—Gusu!
"Put on the poncho and the bamboo hat for me, don't catch a cold..."
Lu Datou took out a poncho from the horse bag, took off Ouyang Jin's bamboo hat and helped her put it on. The poncho made of oilcloth was a modern style, with two sleeves and a hood.
"This poncho is so light, where can I buy it..."
Ouyang Jin opened his arms in a novelty, Lu Datou helped her fasten the rope buckle of the hood, put on the bamboo hat himself and said: "There is nothing in Jiguo, this is the munitions of the dragoons. It can block blood when you wear it, so you won't be afraid of corpse blood seeping into the wound!"
"Sure enough, the dragoons use good things. This poncho can be folded and put into a horse bag..."
A head catcher wiped the rain from his face and said enviously: "I heard that a dragoon's outfit, not including the horse and saber, is worth thousands of taels. Someone picked up an iron bump they dropped and took it home. After fiddling for a long time, it is said that it turned out to be pork belly after splitting, is it true?"
"You said canned food, come with me..."
Lu Datou took his horse and came under a big tree, took out two more tin cans from his horse bag, threw one casually to give them insight, then took out a dagger and cut open the cans in his hand. A jar of greasy braised pork belly.
"Why do you wrap the meat in an iron sheet, just for convenience..."
Ouyang Jin flipped through the cans in confusion, but Lu Datou took out the outdoor alcohol stove and put an iron pot on it to boil tea comfortably.
“Not only is it convenient!”
Lu Datou sat on a wooden stake, covered the alcohol stove with a bamboo hat, and said: "As long as it is not damaged or exposed to the sun, the cans can be guaranteed not to deteriorate for several years, otherwise they will stink in a few days in hot weather. These cans are meat from last year. Did you try it bad?"
"last year?"
Several people unbelievably picked out the meat and tried it. Immediately, someone nodded and said, "It's delicious! It hasn't become smelly after so long. If it's a long-distance march, you won't be afraid of running out of meat wherever you go, but such a can of iron I'm afraid the meat is too expensive, right?"
"I don't know the exact price, anyway, only the elite troops of Shun Kingdom are currently available..."
Lu Datou lit a cigarette and said: "People are always more important than money, especially experienced veterans. One dragoon's equipment can hold up to ten ordinary frontier soldiers. But if you put the lives of soldiers as the top priority, they will be sincere." Die for you!"
"That makes sense!"
Several people gathered around and squatted down. When the tea was almost boiled, Lu Datou took out a set of small porcelain cups and poured hot tea for them one by one. After the arresters finished drinking, they went into the bamboo forest and sneaked around. wait and see.
"Zheng Yijian!"
Ouyang Jin sat on the stake and said curiously: "I used to think you were a bastard, but I didn't expect you to be a warm-hearted and careful person, but why don't you see you with a female assistant? Your boss can't live without a woman, you It's not like him at all!"
"Who doesn't want to be surrounded by beautiful women like clouds, but I can't envy you..."
Holding his teacup, Lu Datou said with a wry smile: "I'm a person with rich feelings, and it's easy for one to fall in love with the other. I have suffered from women's big losses before, so I dare not touch career-oriented women. After all, I was born in troubled times. It's not worth losing your life!"
"It turns out that you were bitten by a snake once, and you were afraid of well ropes for ten years. No wonder you have always behaved to me..."
Ouyang Jin looked at him playfully, but Lu Datou smiled and said, "You are a lesbian with Stockholm syndrome, why should I waste my energy on you, I am not a friend of women!"
"What brother syndrome, what do you mean..."
Ouyang Jin looked stunned, Lu Datou chuckled and said: "To put it bluntly, you have a psychological problem. As a victim, you fell in love with the person who harmed you.
There is a tendency to be masochistic from body to mind, but this is not what I said, but what my boss said! "
Ouyang Jin said unconvinced: "Who has a tendency to be abused, why am I a victim?"
"You used to be called Changdi Ji's husband, but now you call her sister, why..."
Lu Datou stood up and said: "Because a stronger perpetrator appeared, she also became a lost lamb, and she is no longer your spiritual support, and you have been asking about my boss all the way, isn't it love?" Did you fuck him? Hehe~"
"It's absurd that anyone is in love with him..."
Ouyang Jin walked out of the woods with a flushed face. Two fast horses came running down the mountain. When they saw her, they immediately got off the horse, and one of them clasped his fists and said, "Master! I'm in trouble now. A group of people came looking for the target, but they let The secret agents of the Yuan family are on their way!"
"Where did they come from? It can't be the shadow of Thailand..."
Ouyang Jin frowned solemnly, and the other party shook his head and said: "The way of acting is like that of Jin Yiwei. They should be a group of people secretly controlled by the emperor, but this group of people is inexperienced, and they don't know if the Yuan family is following them. Find the target, the Yuan family will definitely take them down!"
"This unlucky emperor is really not enough for success, but more than failure..."
Ouyang Jin cursed angrily, and after discussing for a while, the group immediately went down the mountain, and when they entered a ruined temple, she disguised Lu Datou, dressed him as a bearded man, and transformed herself into a Rough female catcher.
The two disciples of the Shenyin Sect left on their own, and the six of them easily entered Gusu City as arresters and fast hands, and went to the county government to deliver the official documents of the arrest. I went shopping at the night market.
"Come! Try Gusu's famous bee syrup..."
Lu Datou bought a few snacks and walked along the busy street, but Ouyang Jin said in a low voice: "The target lives in the middle of Ranfang Street, the alley at the entrance is very narrow, and there are dogs in the yard. I only go out every three to five times, and I will be alarmed when I get close!"
"Where does Hawkdog live?"
Lu Datou rolled his eyes, and Ouyang Jin said: "Those idiots pretended to be traveling merchants and lived in Zou Ma Lane, but the target has been hidden, and they only found out after asking around!"
"These two places are not far away, only two streets apart..."
Lu Datou said softly: "Ranfang Street is a nest of kilns. I have been fighting guerrillas with the officials all the year round. When I blow the whistle, hundreds of people can run out to make trouble. And if I am a dead man, there will never be only one nest. There must be other secret hiding places." land!"
"My lord! Someone is following us, has the news leaked out..."
A head catcher suddenly reminded in a low voice that the six of them were all very experienced, and they continued walking without looking back, carelessly turned into an alley, and then quickly parted. It was over ten seconds later, and they saw a man rushing ran in.
"Don't bark!"
One of the arresters suddenly covered his mouth, held him with a knife and dragged him into the courtyard wall. Several arresters surrounded him and asked, "Say! Who told you to follow us, not to mention that I stabbed him with a knife." about you!"
"Don't get me wrong, heroes, I know Zheng Yijian..."
The young son pointed at Lu Datou in horror, and Lu Datou said in astonishment: "Shi Datiao? I have already turned into this. How did you recognize me? Are you secretly in love with me?"
"Hehe~ With your coquettish temperament, I can recognize you even when it turns to ashes..."
Shi Datiao smiled stiffly and said, "Brother! I heard that you became a high-ranking official in Jinling and made a fortune. You should pay back the four hundred taels of silver you owe me. Brother, I'm almost out of control!"
"Didn't you send someone to ask for it last month? Why are you here again..."
"But you didn't give it last month..."
"Cut~ It seems that I will give it this month..."
Da Lu scratched his chin in disdain, and asked: "I remember you have a widow
Fantou, do you live in Ranfang Street? Are you still hooking up with her? "
"Don't check it! She thinks I have no money, more snobbish than a pheasant..."
Shi Datiao scolded angrily, but Lu Datou took out fifty-two silver bills and gave it to him, and said with a lewd smile: "Widows are always cleaner than pheasants. Let us go to her for entertainment, but we are not allowed to tell I'm back, otherwise you won't want the rest of the bill!"
"Ouch! You are really my dear brother, I invited you for tea tonight..."
Shi Datiao excitedly put on the banknotes, and happily led them out, but Ouyang Jin asked suspiciously: "Zheng Yijian! What does this guy do, is he reliable?"
"Of course it's unreliable, but this kid is very clever..."
Lu Datou said in a low voice: "His father is a private salt dealer. After the downfall of Shangguan, he was beheaded and ransacked his home, so this kid knows what to ask and what not to ask, and he used to be a local snake. Everyone is familiar!"
"It's better to be cautious, our trip is a terrible job..."
Ouyang Jin frowned and walked out, obviously worried about Lu Datou's decision, but Lu Datou did not expect that the little widow's family not only lived in Ranfang Street, but also lived in the deepest part of the street. All the dogs barked.
"Squeak~"
A courtyard door was suddenly opened, and Ouyang Jin poked Lu Da's head violently, only to see a dark-skinned middle-aged man walking out with a dustpan in his hand. Bend down and wait for them to pass.
"Da Tiao! With so many people going, will it scare people..."
Chief Lu Datiao spoke in dialect without looking sideways, and Shi Datiao waved his hands in front of him and said with a smile: "She's just a slut with an eye for money, as long as the money is in place, you can pose as you like, and I'll call two more good families over later, and I promise Brothers, this trip tonight is worthwhile!"
"You go and order a table of wine and food later..."
Lu Datou slowed down and took out a piece of broken silver, but Shi Datiao said depressedly when he saw this: "Brother! You can't let me post it again. What kind of wine do you eat for how much money? My brother is no different from before, and all the slaves have run away. , How much would you give me two taels?"
"Does my uncle still have to pay for drinking? This is your errand fee, idiot..."
Lu Datou threw the silver to him angrily, but his hand slipped and fell on the ground, just in time to roll in front of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man subconsciously bent down to pick it up, but a fast hand suddenly touched his neck, Ouyang Jin immediately stepped forward.
"Brother! You are so handsome tonight..."
Shi Datiao stepped forward with a beaming smile, took the money from the middle-aged man, and led them into the depths while talking and laughing. He almost reached the end of the street before entering a courtyard. A charming little widow greeted him. When she came out, Shi Datiao immediately dragged her into the room.
"What's wrong? Why don't you do it..."
Lu Datou was full of doubts, and Kuaishou, who gave the signal, whispered: "There are still people in his room. I saw someone photocopied on the window, and the person who came out was not like Li Donglai. Although his appearance was similar to the portrait, his hands At first glance, he is not a Lianjiazi!"
"But we've already alarmed the snake..."
Ouyang Jin whispered: "There are so many officials here suddenly, and I, a woman, is the biggest flaw. They must be taken down tonight, otherwise they will disappear tomorrow!"
"I have a way..."
After whispering for a while, Da Lu quickly walked into the room, and the little widow blushed and said, "Master! There are too many of you, I... I have to pay more!"
"In the third yard from the front, there is a black-skinned middle-aged man, do you recognize him..."
Lu Datou took out two hundred taels of silver bills, the little widow nodded quickly, and Lu Datou immediately pulled her to whisper a few words, and after a while the little widow rushed out of the door with disheveled hair, yelling sadly: "Come on quickly!" Humans, they force women into prostitution, they rob people's daughters..."
