For a city, people habitually think about its size, and then judge in their minds whether it is big or small. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Qian is the same, but Liucheng, he has not been judged to be a big city, even if it has high-rise buildings, one community after another, of course, behind the high-rise buildings, in the distance, there are low, old houses, contrasting with the colorful high-rise buildings, but also like a scar of this new type of city.

When he followed Cai Jing, from south to north, from west to east, and measured the city like an ascetic, he realized that the city was bigger than he imagined.

Because of them, Tian Hu has not been found.

Lu Qian paid great attention to every place he walked and everyone he met, but they didn't find Tian Hu.

"Calculate the time, Zhu Wu and the others are almost here, look for seven or eight days on that mountain, delay on the road, Zhu Wu and the others should be here soon, and then we can't find Tian Hu, how can we ambush the people of Liangshan."

Cai Jing was still dragging a snakeskin bag and walking on the street, like an old man scavenging waste.

"You always thought we were looking for Tian Hu?"

Lu Qian was stunned, the words that Ma Ling gave them were to find Tian Hu, and then talk about cooperation with King Jin, could it be that they have walked so many ways these days, not looking for Tian Hu?

"You can never wake up someone who pretends to be asleep, and you can never find someone who wants to hide from you, let alone find someone among these millions."

"Tian Hu deliberately tricked us?"

Cai Jing nodded, then shook his head again.

Lu Qian was even more confused.

"Think about it, why did he ask us to find him, or rather, how do we find someone who has never been masked?"

"Hmm... Of course, I look for it from place to place, and then I find suspicious people and check them one by one. ”

What Lu Qian said is the stupidest way, and it is also the only way at the moment, looking for it from place to place, just like if something is lost, you can only go back the same way, looking for it piece by piece.

"However, we can't look for them all at once, and when we look for this place and the next place, the other party may already be in the place we have been looking for."

Cai Jing said with a smile.

Lu Qian frowned, because he sensed that Tian Hu was playing with them.

"So, my lord, why do you have to go so day and night?"

Cai Jing raised his head, the warm sun of early winter was overhead, although it was bleak, it made people feel warmer.

"Because, we have to go these ways."

"Must go? Could it be that Tian Hu's power deserves such condescension from you, my lord? ”

Cai Jing shook his head and slowly took out a ball of paper from his shabby placket, although it was a little dirty, it was very new.

Lu Qian recognized that this was the map of Liucheng that he bought.

"Look at this street, how long is it on the map?"

Lu Qian looked at it and said, "2400 meters." ”

"How many alleys are there?"

"Eight"

"How wide?"

"Hmm... That's about 2 meters. ”

"How many houses are there in this alley, or rather, how many gates, how many dead ends?"

Lu Qian had no way to answer, because these would not be displayed on the map.

"On paper, I finally feel shallow, I never know that this matter has to be done, this sentence is not only about learning, but also about doing things, although Mengfuzi does not understand war, but the time, place, and people are very right, so..."

"Therefore, we must look at every street, every alley, even a dead end from the ground, and we must fight in the most favorable geographical location, and we must also do a good job of corresponding prevention, how to succeed, and how to lose."

Cai Jing nodded slightly and cast an approving glance at Lu Qian.

"You are the material that can be made."

Lu Qian was secretly happy in his heart, in his previous life, he boasted that his scheming and martial arts were much higher than ordinary people, but he had not been appreciated, so he could only give a hand to Gao Yanei's goods, and now he could be praised by the high-ranking and powerful Taishi in the previous life, and he felt that the unwillingness of his previous life was finally fulfilled in this life.

"So, back to the point, what about Tian Hu?"

Lu Qian was stunned, surveying the battlefield is a need, but shouldn't the original purpose be to find Tian Hu?

Lu Qian couldn't answer, Cai Jing didn't urge him, and said, "Think about it." Pulling the snakeskin bag and walking forward slowly, Lu Qian followed closely behind, thinking about how to find Tian Hu.

The method is right, otherwise Cai Jing would not have gone like this, or Cai Jing was sure that he would be able to find Tian Hu in this way.

But among the millions of people, it is not easy to find one to hide.

"Can't you think of it, think about the mountain we passed before, what we encountered in front of the mountain, how did we sit there?"

In front of the mountain, they met Tian Hu's people, no, before they met Tian Hu's people, they came across a sign that divided the road into two, and no, it was three.

One is to go directly into the forest, and the other is to bypass the mountain forest.

There is another road that does not move, maybe it is not a road, but Cai Jing chose this road.

Lu Qian was cheerful and said, "Tian Hu, we have found it." ”

Cai Jing stopped, smiled, and said, "Where?" ”

"When Zhu Wu and the others will enter Liucheng."

Cai Jing nodded, still looking at Lu Qian, waiting for him to finish speaking.

"In fact, Tian Hu has tested us from the beginning, and the result is that we are the best candidates for his cooperation."

"When?"

"In front of that street sign, the adult's choice is the answer, and this answer is what Tian Hu wants."

"Then why did you send Ma Ling to say something like that?"

"Because he wants to tell us that the cooperation has been made, and at the same time it will give you a new test."

"So, are we giving him the answer he wants?"

Lu Qian raised his head and looked at the endless stream of cars around him, the bustling crowd, slightly upward, and the high-rise buildings of different levels compressing the sky.

"My lord, you don't bother to answer such a question from him at all, when Zhu Wu and the others come, Tian Hu will jump out by himself."

"And then?"

Lu Qian's smug expression slowly faded, and then what? No, because he only thought so deeply, and only thought about that.

Seeing his expression like this, Cai Jing laughed, not a smile, it was a hahaha laugh, the laughter was not loud, but it could definitely be heard by the people around him, not to mention Lu Qian.

"And then? No, at that time, Tian Hu jumped out and pointed at my nose and scolded: Taishi Cai, you are just like this! Certainly more vicious. ”

Lu Qian felt ashamed and embarrassed the moment Cai Jing laughed, but after listening to Cai Jing's answer, he realized that this was a joke that the old man was playing with him.

The two continued to walk forward, and after walking the street and passing through two more alleys, Lu Qian suddenly stopped.

It is a relatively secluded alley with two gold shops and a small ornament shop in the alley.

Lu Qian stopped, Cai Jing turned his head, looked at him, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Qian looked up, and the wind blew from the other side of the alley, making his eyes squint.

"My lord, I know that."

"Do you really understand?"

"Your Excellency is a trick to confuse the enemy!"

Lu Qian understood, no matter how Tian Hu laughed at Cai Jing, Cai Jingjing would not care, what he cared about was this cooperation, as well as the hostility between the two sides after the destruction of Liangshan, now Tian Hu looked down on Cai Jing, and in the future, he would regret it, no, it should be ten.

Cai Jing nodded slightly and said, "You answer the first question, we walked one thousand hundred and eight steps, and to answer this question, we walked one thousand and two hundred steps, which is good." ”

"Thank you for your teachings!"

Cai Jing turned around, and the smile on his face was slowly blown away by the wind blowing from the alley after turning around.

"Understood... That's it. ”

Lu Qian followed behind, looking at the figure walking slowly in front of him, and there was respect and coolness in his heart.

Walking out of the alley and crossing another street, Cai Jing walked in the direction he came.

Lu Qian was puzzled in his heart, because this street was transferred back, and it was the place they had walked a few days ago.

"You're doing well today, I'll take you somewhere."

Lu Qian was thinking, if he went to a place, then it was a place they had never been, but he was wrong.

The place Cai Jing took him to was the place they had left on the first day.

On that day, on the edge of Liucheng.

Cai Jing asked him where Tian Hu was most likely hiding. Lu Qian thought for a while and said slums. Because there are a large number of outsiders in the slums, there are people from all over the world, and the new faces will not attract attention, and people like Tian Hu did not end well when they were kings in their previous lives, so they should be more cautious in this life.

So Cai Jing and he walked all over the old area, walked through the stench alleys, walked through the blackened, blue-colored old neighborhood, and walked past the simple stalls with tents, but they didn't find Tian Hu.

Now, Cai Jing brought him here again.

Did he notice someone suspicious among them, or did he think that there was something wrong with them when they came the other day?

Lu Qian had doubts, but he didn't say anything, because he was about to see the answer.

The winter sun is slanting in the west, lazily hanging in the gray sky, putting a dusty mirror, and not taking care of this piece of the world.

Cai Jing stepped over the sinkhole at his feet and walked towards an old shop. The windows of the shop are black, the doors are black, not because they are black, but because no one has cleaned them all year round, so dust accumulates, covering up the original background color, and only black remains. The plaque at the door is black, but the words on it are red, and because of the long-term non-maintenance, the paint began to peel off, revealing the black texture of the ground, but still according to the intermittent red paint, you can see the three words on it.

"Knife Sharpening Workshop".

At the black doorway, there is a sign made of paper leather in the box, simple and rough, with a brush written "sharpen kitchen knives, sharpen scissors", and the characters are very ugly, like the writing of people who have just learned to write.

Cai Jing didn't stop, pushed the door and walked in, Lu Qian looked at it, and followed in.

It was dark in the house, because of the weather, and because the lights were not on.

There was no one in the room, no clerks, no shopkeepers, and the important black counters stood there, but a loud sound came from a corner.

It's the sound of polishing things, not electricity, it's the sound of grinding objects with your hands.

Cai Jing walked over, stood in front of the wooden counter, and tapped the countertop with the knuckles of his hand, making a beeping sound. This beep made the room look very empty, and added a bit of gloom to the dim room.

"Anyone?"

Lu Qian asked softly, and the sound of polishing over there paused for a moment, and then it sounded again.

"Something?"

Accompanied by the sound of polishing, a thick male voice came.

Lu Qian wanted to answer, Cai Jing waved his hand, and the two didn't answer, just stood in front of the counter and looked at the polished voice.

The grinding sound continued, and the thick voice continued: "If it's grinding, put it down and come over to get it at night." ”

Cai Jing and Lu Qian didn't speak yet, quietly looking not far away.

In the dimly lit corner squatted a man who was grinding an object on a jet-black whetstone.

After a long time, the sound of polishing stopped, and the man in the dim corner turned his head to look this way, only glanced at it, and said, "If you don't do business, go out." ”

Cai Jingcai slowly walked to the corner and said, "Do, big business." ”

"I don't do anything other than the knife sharpening business."

The man looked at the object in his hand, shook his head, and put a little water on the whetstone in the white porcelain bowl next to him, ready to continue polishing the thing in his hand.

"Since you don't do anything but sharpen knives, what do you have?"

Cai Jing was laughing when he spoke, and his smile was very gentle and kind.

The man in the dim corner said, "Gun." ”

"So what are you sharpening your gun for?"

The man in the dimly lit corner put down the object in his hand and stood up. This is a middle-aged man, but because he has not been groomed for a long time, his beard is very long, his face is very dirty, his hair is messy, and only his eyes are black and white, even in this dimly lit room, it still gives people a bright feeling.

Lu Qian had been observing, and when the sloppy man stood up, he looked at what the man had polished earlier, it was a stick, a black stick, only as long as a rolling pin.

The sloppy man looked at Cai Jing, looked at Lu Qian, and said, "I don't think I will do business with people like you, go out." ”

Cai Jing didn't seem to see the sloppy man's sinking face, and his unhappy tone still smiled: "No wonder your business is so bad..."

"Get out!"

Cai Jing smiled, and the sloppy man swung his fist and slammed it into Cai Jing's face.

Lu Qian was very close, so he stretched out his hand and blocked it. Then he flew out and dumped on a pile of unidentified garbage.

Cai Jing still didn't move, watching Lu Qian fly out, watching the man shoot again.

"No matter how much you polish it, it won't turn into a gun, and it won't turn into a whip, you say?"

The fist wind blew in his face, and the startled Cai Jing's hair flew back.

"Because, it's fate!"

The wind stopped, as the fist stopped in front of Cai Jing's eyes.

Cai Jing was laughing, and he smiled gently.
