There is a strange calm in the noise of Yuzhang City tonight, after so many years, the curfew policy set at the beginning of the country has long been loosened a lot, and it only works for ordinary people thousands of miles away.

The short three-day holiday per month is already scarce, and if a restriction were to be put on it, I am afraid that few officials would be happy, so all the officials will tacitly enjoy this privilege that does not belong to them.

In the middle of the night, when the auction in the Qiushui Pavilion was still in full swing, there were no tourists on the wide streets of Yuzhang City, but it seemed that it could not stop people's desire to travel.

The silence of the night provides a lot of convenience for travelers, and there are convoys moving in an orderly manner on the streets.

The things on the carriage should look very heavy, which can be seen from the sound of stone chips crushing after the wheels press over the bluestone slab and the heavy wheezing sound of the horse, the horse should have a chew in its mouth, and it can't make a sound, so it can only vent the exhaustion of the whole body in that heavy breath.

The convoy set off from all corners of Yuzhang City, and finally converged on the street where Qiushui Pavilion was located.

Needless to say, these convoys are naturally the convoys that carry copper coins back after the guests who went to congratulate them tonight ordered people to go home, and the cars were naturally loaded with carts of copper coins.

The guests were very careful, and the carriages carrying the copper coins went as far as possible through the remote alleys, in order to avoid the families who did not come tonight. After all, the glass is really very limited, and if a few more people come to grab it, it is really not enough.

However, the convoy that wanted to avoid people's eyes ended up in the eyes of those who cared, of course, it was not those big families.

In a small alley in the west of the city, a small convoy is moving, but on the wall of a small courtyard in the depths of the alley lies a pair of thief's bright eyes, which blink from time to time, and after staring at the convoy for a long time, those eyes suddenly disappeared.

In the backyard of the small courtyard, a black shadow flew into a room.

"Boss, there's a situation!" said the shadow as he entered the room to a young man in his chair who was contemplating, his voice tinged with a hint of immaturity.

The young man looked like he was only a young man, with thick eyebrows, a Chinese face, and a short beard on his lips.

Seeing his brother in such a panic, the young man asked, "What's wrong?"

"Boss, there are a lot of carriages walking outside, and the carts are full of copper coins!" the dark shadow replied immediately when he heard the boss's question.

"What did you say?" said an exclamation from inside the room, but it was not from the young man in the chair, and in front of a desk next to the young man, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties looked away from the desk full of abacus and account books, raised his head, and stared at the person who came in with round eyes.

The middle-aged man had a beard nearly a foot long, a high bun on the top of his head, and a navy blue Taoist robe, which was actually dressed as a Taoist priest!

The Taoist priest looked a little thin, not as burly as a young man, but his eyes were so sharp, and the occasional light seemed to penetrate into a person's soul.

"Strategist, there are a lot of wagons loaded with money outside, and the carts are full of copper coins!" said the man who came in raised his head and said to the middle-aged Taoist priest.

At this moment, the light shines on the face of the person who came, so that you can see the appearance of the person who came in, only to see that this person's face is extremely black, and the black in the pupil almost covers all the eyeballs, as long as you squint slightly, in this night, plus his black face, people can only see a piece of pitch black, as if there is nothing zài. It's just that now under the light, I can still vaguely distinguish the facial features of the person, and the face is delicate, and it looks like a young man who is less than twenty!

After hearing the confirmation, the middle-aged Taoist priest known as the military advisor jumped up from the chair excitedly, jumped over the desk and came to the black-faced young man, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, shook it excitedly, and said, "Where is the car that loaded the money?"

The black-faced boy was in pain when he was caught, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It was at the door just now!

"Hurry, catch up!" the middle-aged Taoist priest immediately took the lead and walked towards the door.

"Uncle Kong, don't worry, let Xiao Si explain it clearly!" The young man sitting in the chair shook his head helplessly and said.

"Altar master, you can't wait any longer! If you wait any longer, this fat meat will fly to your mouth!" The Taoist priest surnamed Kong said to the young man with an anxious face: "It's so difficult that you still doubt that Xiao Si's nose is not successful?"

The young man smiled bitterly and said, "I naturally don't doubt Xiao Si's dog nose, this kid may be wrong when he smells something else, but he can smell it from a distance of eight zhang if he smells the copper coin!"

"Then what are you waiting for? We've been out for so many months, and the money we got is only a little bit, although the sect leader doesn't say it, but there will inevitably be some mustard in his heart!

"I know! Uncle took good care of me on the surface, but I knew that this was just a means he used to buy people's hearts! Only if I was alive could the old men left behind by my father listen to him and obey him!"

"This time, my uncle asked us to come to Yuzhang City to prepare for the expansion of military resources, but this is not our missionary place, it is a big city, and there are few hungry poor people, how can we raise money to recruit people!" the young man continued.

"Then why don't we hurry up, with this batch of copper coins, our life will be much better!" said Kong Daoist urgently.

The young man smiled and said very calmly: "Uncle Kong, it is precisely because we are in a difficult situation that we must be more cautious, Yuzhang City is not those poor ravines, here dragons and snakes are mixed, and the water is very deep! If we make a rash move and fold it in, then it will really be over! We didn't raise any money, and even if we didn't raise money, my uncle wouldn't blame me, on the contrary, even if we transported a lot of money to the main altar, my uncle would only praise me a few words! Could he still pass on the position of the sect leader to me?"

After listening to the young man's words, Daoist Kong was silent for a long time, and then asked, "Then what should we do now?"

The young man smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry! Those big families usually hide money in the cellar when they have it, but now that such a large sum of money is suddenly shipped out, it seems that there must be some kind of business!

Hearing this, Daoist Kong nodded and said indignantly: "That's right! This group of rich people don't have any good things!"

"Little Four, send someone to follow and find out the direction of these copper coins, and it is best to find out their motives and report back to me!" the young man then ordered the black-faced young man.

"Yes, Boss!" said the black-faced boy and turned to leave.

The young man got up from his chair after giving the order, pacing in the room, the young man's figure was very burly, the muscles on his body were distinct, especially the chest muscles were very developed, and the face of the Chinese character was also a little heroic, but his walking posture was a little wrong!

Although it looks no different from ordinary people, it always makes people feel a little tired after looking at it for a long time, as if there is something wrong with the shoes, as if the shoes do not fit well.

The black-faced boy didn't let anyone else go, he felt that this time the idea might be a bit hard, and he was a little uneasy about sending someone else, so he decided to go out himself.

After leaving the small courtyard, the black-faced boy followed all the way along the shallow wheel prints left by the wheels of the carriage on the bluestone slabs.

The carriage carrying the copper coins went very slowly, and the men were told by their master not to make a noise, so they slowed down their march, otherwise the great movement would surely attract the attention of those who were interested in it.

It's just that what they don't know is that they have already attracted the attention of the person with a heart, and because of their slow speed, the person with a heart has followed!

The black-faced boy followed the convoy all the way to the corner where the Qiushui Pavilion was located, and the young man wanted to follow one step closer, but he found that there seemed to be several pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark.

If he dared to go any further, he would probably be shot into a hornet's nest!

Tonight is the first and most important step in Xu Chen's series of plans, if this step is messed up, it is almost impossible to restart this plan again! Therefore, Xu Chen almost pressed all the weights in his hands tonight.

More than thirty young people, except for the dozen or so guarding the house and the island in the middle of the lake, the rest were all put around the Qiushui Pavilion by Xu Chen. The young people's defense methods are learned by Xu Chen from some later generations and then combined with Chai Qi's method, Chai Qi was originally a master of night walking, coupled with Xu Chen's advanced concept, the juveniles' warning methods can be described as first-class in contemporary times!

Although the black-faced boy is also a master, after all, he is still young, and he is still a little stretched when facing more than ten times the number of teenagers.

The black-faced young man's intuition was not wrong, at least five bows and crossbows were aimed at him at this moment, and the crossbows were still given to Xu Chen by Peng Ze on Changshan Island. Although it has been decided to equip the teenagers with hot weapons, you can't let Xu Chen open an arsenal in Yuzhang City, right?

Therefore, the hot weapon plan has not been implemented for the time being, and the long-distance weapons equipped by the teenagers are only these bows and crossbows, although Xu Chen doesn't look down on them, but these things can be regarded as advanced in contemporary times.

The black-faced boy stopped, stood there for a moment, then turned and left, but he didn't go far, still observing nearby.

There were few teenagers, and the defense line could not be stretched too widely, and when they saw the black-faced teenager walking away, they didn't care, and still stayed on guard.

The black-faced boy hid under the eaves of a small two-story building across the street, his legs hanging upside down on the beams, and a pair of black eyes stared motionlessly at the carriage coming and going at the street.

After observing for a long time, he found that there was not only one convoy he was following! There were so many convoys here, and they were all loaded with copper coins!

How much money does this have to be! The black-faced young man's black eyes were already glowing with a thick essence, but in the middle of the night, no one could find such a pair of black eyes that saw money......
