Unexpectedly, Lu Yunfei is also from Nanning, Guangxi. When he asked Ding Mou urgently, Ding Mou looked at Lu Yunfei happily and said, "I can't think of the Dharma protector anymore, right?" Don't look at Ding Mou in his fifties, then Liu Chao is in his thirties, but the two of us are close friends. When they first went to school together in the township, the two were quite able to talk. Later, Liu Chao tried to enter Beijing, Ding Mou was ashamed, and his name was still Sun Shan, and at this time the sect leader came to Nanning, Ding Mou was disheartened and actually joined the church. ”

Lu Yunfei said happily: "Since the master and Liu Chaoyuan are on good terms, is there any way to teach me?" ”

Ding Mou already had a plan in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's a must-use counter-strategy." ”

Lu Yunfei wanted to ask again, but Ding Mou said, "Just wait for my good news." ”

Early the next morning, Ding Mou rode a horse and came to Datong City to inspect again. He looked at the city, yo, it just so happened that the city was no one else, it was Liu Chao, who was his old friend. Liu Chao is bent on expressing himself in front of Qing Gege, but he is more diligent than others.

Liu Chao is a shrewd person, he saw Ding Mou riding over from a distance, leaned over and bowed his head and pretended not to see. Ding Mou came prepared, and shouted loudly: "Isn't the city Liu Ximeng's brothers? ”

Liu Chao's character is Ximeng, so Ding Mou calls him Ximeng's brother.

Liu Chao pretended to have just seen it, and said happily: "Oh, isn't that Brother Zhongchun?" Why is Brother Zhongchun under Datong City? ”

Ding Mou replied: "It is not appropriate to talk here at this time, please Brother Xi Meng open the city gate and lead Ding Mou in, and we will have a good talk." ”

Liu Chao guessed his thoughts, nodded and said yes. Liu Chao got out of the city, ordered the city to open the city gate, and let Ding Mou in. When he came, Liu Chao sat in a sedan chair. At this time, seeing Ding Mou riding a horse, he had to abandon the sedan chair and ride the black horse led by the city gate. And he and Ding Mou came to the apartment.

It is said that Liu Chao is also a prefect and can live in the government office of Datong Mansion, but Qing Gege is now living in the mansion, and Liu Chao has to find another mansion outside the mansion to live in. The mansion is adjacent to Datong Mansion, and it is also very convenient to enter and exit the mansion.

After a while, the two entered the apartment. Liu Chao invited Ding Mou to sit down in the study, and the tea maid offered tea. Liu Chao went to the inner room to change into his official robe. I wore homely clothes and came out to meet guests.

Sitting down in the main seat, Liu Chao asked politely: "How long has it been since I saw Brother Zhongchun, where can Brother Zhongchun make a living?" ”

Ding Mou looked at his poor pretend. sighed: "Brother Ximeng has been promoted and made a fortune in the past few years, and he has a great future. Ding Mou has studied all his life, and now he is still unsour and undefeated. Not a monk. It's so sad. ”

Liu Chao persuaded: "Brother Zhongchun doesn't have to be too sad. As the saying goes, Jiang Ziya is still fishing in the Wei River in his seventies. Or Brother Zhongchun's fortune has turned sideways, and he will not be able to soar early tomorrow morning. It's just that what has Brother Zhongchun done for a living in the past few years? Last year, my brother and I went back to my hometown on order, and I heard that Brother Zhongchun followed an old path a few years ago, is this true? ”

Ding Mou smiled: "Don't listen to them! What's the old thing? Ding Mou saw that it was really difficult to do business, so it was better to do some business. In recent years, he has been doing some coal business in Shanxi, coming and going from south to north. But that's it. ”

Liu Chao said with a smile: "I heard that the price of Shanxi coal transported to Beijing has increased several times. Presumably, Brother Zhongchun has made a fortune in the past two years. ”

Ding Mou shook his head and said, "It's not worth anything." It's just a matter of living and supporting yourself. ”

After some laughter, Liu Chao said with a straight face: "I don't know how Brother Zhongchun got to Datong?" Brother sues you, at this time, Datong is fighting against the White Lotus Sect, and Brother Zhongchun is a trader, so it's not good to get involved here. Listen to your brother, it's better to walk away as soon as possible, don't mess with right and wrong. ”

Ding Mou replied with a smile: "Who said it wasn't? Ding Mou originally bought and sold in Datong Mansion, but yesterday he went to an inn outside the town and heard that there was a fight between the two sides. Brother, I said in my heart, the place of right and wrong should not stay for a long time, it is better to leave early. I don't want to hear that Datong Mansion invited Brother Ximeng to take charge. We haven't seen each other for many years, brother, I miss Brother Ximeng very much, we meet here, just to catch up with the past. ”

Liu Chao smiled: "I also have this heart. Since Brother Zhongchun doesn't mind, and lives in Datong Mansion for a few days, let's catch up on the old days when we are free. ”

Ding Mou was busy saying that it was exactly. At this moment, a figure flashed outside the door. Liu Chao knew that there was a change, got up and hugged his fists and said to Ding Mou: "It is inconvenient to match in official business. Brother Zhongchun, let's sit here for a while, and when I have leisure in the evening, I will let the kitchen set a table of wine, and we will have a good chat. ”

Ding Mou also got up to see him off and said, "Brother Ximeng is no more idler than us, so let's go and get down to business." ”

When I came out of the study, I was greeted by my relatives. Liu Chao asked, "What's the matter?" ”

He replied: "Qing Gege, Lord Qin, and Lord Yang in the mansion have important matters to discuss with the master, let the master go over immediately." ”

Liu Chao hummed softly, turned around and entered the inner room, changed his clothes, still came out of his official robe, left the apartment, and went straight to Datong Mansion.

In the main hall of the mansion, Gege, Qin Yong and Dark Xiang sat down one by one. Liu Chao came in and sat down. Qin Yong opened his mouth and said: "The spies we sent out reported that Lu Yunfei's men and horses were stationed fifty miles away, and the camp was in order, and they did not retreat or advance, I don't know what Lu Yunfei planned." ”

Qin Yong said quickly: "No, they want to sneak attack us at night, right?" ”

Gege and Dark Incense were silent. Liu Chao smiled and said proudly: "Lu Yunfei won't sneak attack, I'm afraid he has another plan." ”

Although Qin Yong was rough, he also saw the color on Liu Chao's face. He still asked quickly, "Dare Lord Liu guess it?" Tell us about it, and we'll have a plan. ”

Liu Chao changed the topic and said: "I just met an old man in the city. We originally came out of Nanning together, and we used to go to school together. It was also a chance that the ancients could meet in such a place, wasn't it? ”

I thought that Liu Chao would say something earth-shattering, but I didn't want him to say such inconsequential things. Qin Yong said angrily: "People say that Lord Liu is shrewd and scheming, why do you say such indifferent words when you are in a hurry?" We only care about the peril of Datong Mansion, who cares what you are from the ancients and today? ”

Liu Chao took a sip of tea slowly, and said leisurely: "This old man is none other than Ding Mou, the master of Lu Yunfei's army. ”

"What, Lord Liu's deceased turned out to be a rebel of the White Lotus Sect?" Qin Yong asked in surprise. Although Gege and Dark Xiang didn't have much surprise on their faces, they were also full of surprise in their hearts. If he is really a person in Lu Yunfei's army, it is a little strange to come to Liu Chao this time.

Liu Chao glanced at Gege and said, "Liu Chao thinks the same way. He thought that Liu Chao didn't know his identity, but how did he know that Liu Chao had already made it clear to the first, second, and third figures in their army. He came to visit as a businessman, but I was afraid that he wanted to be a spy and visit the reality of our army, and we just happened to give him a plan. (To be continued......)
