The sun sets and the moon hangs high.

The bright moonlight gradually replaced the dusk, dyeing the earth with another kind of snow-white.

This kind of snow white is not as good as everyone will like, and in a dark corner somewhere, two big men are talking.

"Helper, after my investigation in the past few days, I did find that someone is inquiring about Madame's news."

Baili Mad asked: "Is the person who inquires is the person of the county commander?" ”

Lao Luo shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics, he is very careful, he is very good, I didn't find out his identity." ”

"So you don't know if this person is a person from the county magistrate?"

Lao Luo nodded apologetically and said, "Yes." ”

Baili stared at him fiercely, "Incompetent." ”

Lao Luo bowed his head and did not speak again.

The opponent's strength is not strong, only about five or six, but the opponent's light skills are surprisingly good, and Lao Luo pays attention to light skills, even if his true qi is much stronger than the other party, but the other party can always escape.

Let such a person who is not as strong as him run away, Lao Luo is also full of apologies.

"Forget it."

Baili shook his head wildly.

After thinking for a moment, Baili turned his head and returned: "I have to go out with the county order tomorrow, and it may take a few days to come back, and you can find a way to bring Mrs. and Yan'er back to the mountain." ”

"I shouldn't be able to take it back."

Lao Luo said cautiously: "I don't know if I found anything, the yamen has sent a lot of people to walk in Yangzhou City in the past few days, and it is very strict to enter and exit Yangzhou City, it is difficult to take the lady and the villain out." ”

Listening to Lao Luo's words, Baili Mad frowned slightly.

He looked over indifferently, "Why is your 'should' so annoying?" ”

After saying that, Wan Limad looked at the sky and said slowly: "Forget it." ”

"You can protect them during my absence."

Lao Luo arched his hand, nodded, and said, "Obey, help the master." ”

......

The conversation with Baili Maniac did not take much time, and as soon as it was dark, Truman returned to the big ship.

Luo Xianji had already made dinner.

After having dinner with everyone, Truman called out Xu San.

"How's it going?"

Xu San shook his head and said: "They should know that I am investigating them, there will always be someone following me when I am investigating these days, his light skills are not as good as mine, and he did not find me, but it also made me lose a lot of opportunities to investigate." ”

Truman nodded and said, "It's okay, this matter is like this, there is no need to investigate their mother and daughter in the future." ”

Xu San nodded, "Yes, my lord." ”

......

Xu San left, and Truman asked him to call Xu Jinwu by the way.

Soon, Xu Jinwu came to Truman's side.

"Your Excellency, you're looking for me."

Truman nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will go out with Little Rabbit and Li Yu, I have something I want to drag you to do." ”

"Get out?" Xu Jinwu said worriedly: "Now the people from Silong Pavilion don't know when to find it, my lord, go out...... Even if there are two eighth-class people, the safety of adults is still not enough to be guaranteed. ”

Truman smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't just bring two eighth-class people with me when I went out this time, and Baili Mad will also follow me on a trip." ”

"Miles of madness?" Xu Jinwu became even more worried, "Although the adults traded with him, Baili Mad is a bandit after all, his integrity is still very worrying, my lord, he is not worthy of your trust!" ”

Chumen shook his head and said: "Jin Wu, we can't speculate on a person with such thoughts, although most of your words are very right, but you can rest assured, as long as the mother and daughter are in Yangzhou City, there will be no waves in a hundred miles." ”

Xu Jinwu said suspiciously: "That mother and daughter, is the pair that the adults asked Xu San to investigate?" ”

"Yes."

"The adults went to investigate them, and I think they also discovered their identities." Xu Jinwu paused, and said: "Okay, since the adults have confidence, then I won't stop the adults, by the way, what is the task that the adults just said?" ”

Trumen glanced inside the house and said cautiously, "I need you to help me investigate Ji Zhuo." ”

He glanced back at Ji Zhuo, who was busy in the house, before he looked over with a very uncertain look.

"Ji Zhuo?" Xu Jinwu was extremely surprised.

"Isn't he the nephew of an adult?"

Truman smiled before he said: "Just investigate casually, remember not to be found by him, if you find something wrong with him, you don't have to investigate further, wait for me to come back." ”

Xu Jinwu nodded and asked curiously, "Did the adults find something?" ”

Truman smiled heartily and said, "It's not that you found anything, it's not important, let's talk about it later." ”

Xu Jinwu's eyes rolled twice, carefully recalling Ji Zhuo's various actions in the past month or so.

But after thinking about it, I didn't come up with a reason.

"Don't think about it." Truman said.

"Don't show it on your face."

"Just like usual."

Xu Jinwu nodded again.

......

Xu Jinwu left, standing on the platform on the third floor, and Truman was stunned.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the task that Gao Gonggong personally conveyed during the day.

The task is divided into three steps, and the first step is to recruit helpers as much as possible to expand the battle of Yangzhou County.

The time for this first step is only one month.

At present, he has sent Li Fansheng and General Zhang to do the recruitment.

In this seemingly peaceful era, as long as there is money, soldiers can be summoned at a moment's notice.

The most difficult thing is to gather generals who can command these soldiers.

His Majesty was well aware of the difficulty, so he even issued a holy decree that if the bandits were obedient, they would be exempted from their sins.

This is the main purpose of Truman's gathering with Baili Maniac today.

But as a bandit, Baili was arrogant and suspicious, and now that he has a family, he has become more cherished and suspicious.

It is very simple and difficult to convert him.

There are many difficulties.

One of the biggest difficulties is because of Truman's strength.

Among the seventh ranks, in the eyes of the eighth-rank pinnacle and the hundred-mile maniac who can reach the ninth rank at any time, it is still not enough to see after all.

The strength is not as good as him, how can he be obedient.

Truman looked at the sky and sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, this task you gave me is really difficult."

"Give me such a difficult task, and don't send me some people."

"Even with the wealth of the Luo family, it will be difficult for me to do this."

"And that's just the first step?"

After complaining for a moment, Truman smiled bitterly again.

"How did life come to this?"

"Why can't you live a leisurely and leisurely life like other traversers, with a lot of money and a group of wives and concubines?"

"Ugh."

"I just want to be a leisurely county magistrate and live a leisurely life."
