After about a stick of incense, Zhao Yu took Jingnu, Niu Heng, He Shun and twenty other black tiger thieves to leave the county guard mansion with Xun Yi, standing outside the mansion and waiting for Chen Lang.

During this period, Du Wei Cao Suo took Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Han and a few people to pass by them, and looked at them coldly, while Niu Heng, He Shun and the twenty black tiger thieves did not show weakness, their eyes widening one by one.

Looking at the back of Cao Suo and the others leaving, Xun Yi sighed and said, "Leader Zhou is too eager......"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu smiled slightly.

Of course, he knew that Xun Yi's 'eagerness' meant that he was showing his ambition to replace Cao Suo too quickly, but he had a different opinion in his heart.

In his opinion, his conversation with Li Junshou in the side hall today was very successful, and at least initially won the trust of Li Junshou, in this case, he naturally had to strike while the iron was hot and grab the post of lieutenant as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

He comforted Xun Yi and said: "Supervise the post and rest assured, this situation is also expected by Zhou......"

『…… Except for the county guard and me, almost everyone in the house is targeting you today, and this is still in your expected area?"

Xun Yi glanced at Zhao Yu in surprise, and asked curiously, "Isn't Chief Zhou already having a countermeasure?" ”

At this time, Zhao Yu Yuguang caught a glimpse of Changshi Chen Lang walking out of the mansion, so he nodded in the direction of the latter.

Xun Yi suddenly understood, turned his head to look at Chen Lang, and a few traces of thought flashed on his face.

Just as he was secretly thinking, Chen Lang had already come to the two of them, looking at Zhao Yu with a complicated expression.

"Zhou Hu must have a plan that day, you have to be careful. …… Let's see what he wants to do."

Looking at the former bandit leader in front of him, Chen Lang's ears seemed to echo the advice of Song Shu to him before he left the mansion.

In fact, even if Song Shu didn't remind him, Chen Lang could guess that he was 'targeted' by this Zhou Hu, but he couldn't figure out what this guy wanted to do.

Fortunately, now that he is in Xuchang, not Kunyang, Chen Lang does not need to worry that this former bandit leader dares to harm him again, and hangs him for another night for no reason.

As if seeing through the uneasiness in Chen Lang's heart, Zhao Yu chuckled, turned his head to Xun Yi and said, "Superintendent, that's the end of today, how about you and I get together again in the future?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Lang's complexion changed slightly, and this scene fell in Xun Yi's eyes, and he also felt quite funny.

Of course, he understood Zhao Yu's hint, and nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, then Xun won't bother the two of you." ”

As he spoke, he arched his hand towards Zhao Yu and Chen Lang, walked down the steps in front of the mansion by himself, and rode back to his mansion.

Seeing this, Chen Lang felt more and more numb in his scalp, and scolded Zhao Yu in his heart for not knowing what to do - you are good friends with Xun Yi, you go to his mansion, what are you doing in my mansion, I have no friendship with you?

However, scolding is scolding, Chen Lang is also difficult to ride a tiger at this time, who made him agree to this matter in front of Li Junshou.

"Captain Zhou, please."

"Excuse me."

A few people mounted their horses and walked slowly through the alleys, followed by the twenty black tiger thieves.

On the way, Chen Lang didn't say a word, as if he didn't want to deal with Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu didn't care about this, and looked at the buildings and streets in the city intentionally or unintentionally, especially the pedestrians coming and going.

I don't know if it's because he and Jingnu are wearing the masks on their faces, or if the twenty black tiger thieves who are behind him with black scarves and looking around, and the pedestrians on the street are curiously stopping to watch, privately guessing the identities of the twenty 'black scarf pawns'.

In general, Zhao Yu felt that the atmosphere in Xuchang City was quite peaceful.

About a moment later, Chen Lang led Zhao Yu and his party to the front of his mansion, and the words 'Changshi Chen's Mansion' were clearly engraved on the horizontal plaque in front of the mansion.

Maybe it's because it's an extraordinary time, and the door of the mansion in front of you is closed.

"Here, this is the Humble House."

When Chen Lang introduced Zhao Yu, there was obvious reluctance on his face.

As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted, and at the same time ordered the two county guards who came with him: "Go and call the door." ”

"Yes."

One of the county guards clenched his fists, turned and walked up the steps to the front of the mansion, and slapped the brass ring on the door heavily.

Immediately, there was a rush of footsteps in the house, and it was obvious that the doorman heard the sound and ran to open the door.

Sure enough, only to hear the sound of the ground, the closed door of the mansion opened half of the door, and a person's head poked out of it, and it was visually seen to be an old man in his fifties, presumably an old servant of the mansion.

"Sir."

The old servant saw Chen Lang who had already stepped up the steps, and immediately shouted to the mansion: "The master is back." ”

Immediately, he hurriedly opened the door of the mansion, walked over the steps to Chen Lang, and bowed to salute: "Master." ”

"Hmm."

Chen Lang nodded, and immediately turned his head to look at Zhao Yu, seeing that Zhao Yu had also turned over and dismounted and walked up the steps at this time, he pointed to him and introduced: "This is the captain of the upper part of Zhou, Zhou Hu, who came to my house as a guest today, you asked the cook to prepare good wine and food, and you must not be lazy." ”

Seeing Chen Lang's serious expression, the old servant didn't dare to slack off, so he nodded again and again: "Yes, I'll go and tell the cook." ”

After seeing Chen Lang nodding, the old servant immediately rushed into the mansion.

At this time, Chen Lang turned to face Zhao Yu and made a gesture of please: "Please." ”

Seeing that Chen Lang was reluctant but still treated politely, Zhao Yu also felt very interesting: "Please." ”

After a while, Zhao Yu and his entourage followed Chen Lang to the West Garden in the mansion, that is, the elegant garden specially prepared by the owner of the mansion for guests.

As the long history of the county guard's house, although the west garden on Chen Lang's mansion is not large, it is quite exquisite, whether it is a pool, an arch bridge, a pavilion, a rockery, everything is available, and the wooden buildings accompanied by the pond are also quite chic.

Niu Heng, He Shun and the twenty black tiger thieves were all from civilian backgrounds, and they had never seen such a chic courtyard, and they all showed a look of amazement, which made Chen Lang sneer, and secretly mocked this group of countrymen.

While proud, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yu, as if he also wanted to see the reaction of this former bandit leader.

To his surprise, Zhao Yu and Jingnu were very calm - although they couldn't see their faces, Chen Lang could also detect them from their gazes.

"Is Captain Zhou Shang still satisfied?" Chen Lang asked deliberately.

“…… I'm satisfied. ”

Zhao Yu was in a complicated mood, and the scenery here made him think of his Luyang Township Mansion.

His slightly embarrassed tone made Chen Lang feel a little strange, as if Zhou Hu also had such a mansion this time.

"This guy, isn't he also from a big family?"

Chen Lang glanced at Zhao Yu suspiciously, as well as the quiet girl beside Zhao Yu.

It's no wonder, after all, Jing Nu stood quietly in Zhao Yu, bowing her head slightly, as if she didn't care about everything in front of her, this attitude was different from Niu Heng, He Shun and the twenty black tiger thieves, which made Chen Lang a little puzzled.

After a short time, the kitchen in the mansion had already prepared the wine and food, so Chen Lang invited Zhao Yu, Jingnu, Niu Heng, and He Shun to the side hall in the front yard, and as for the other twenty black tiger thieves, there were servants in the house who specially delivered the wine and food to their residences.

I have to say that although Chen Lang has a straight face from beginning to end, the wine and food prepared are extremely rich, even if it is just to entertain Zhao Yu, Jingnu, Niu Heng, and He Shun, he also asked the chef to prepare a table of dishes, especially the wine prepared, which is fragrant and mellow, so that Niu Heng and He Shun do not feel greedy.

"Captain Zhou, please." Chen Lang raised his hand to invite, and after Zhao Yu and the others took their seats, they also sat down in the accompanying seats.

He wanted to leave, but he didn't dare to leave Zhao Yu and the others alone, God knows what this group of lawless guys would do in his mansion.

By the way, he also wanted to take the opportunity to see the true face of Zhou Hu under the mask.

So, he deliberately toasted Zhao Yu with a glass of wine.

『…… Looks like we're going to have to prepare a half-sided mask.'"

Looking at Chen Lang, who deliberately toasted him, Zhao Yu secretly thought in his heart.

In front of Chen Lang, he naturally didn't take off his mask, even if Chen Lang didn't recognize him nine times out of ten.

In order to cover up this matter, Zhao Yu raised his hand and said: "Don't be busy drinking, Chen Changshi, this time Zhou came to disturb me, hoping that Chen Changshi would do me a favor." ”

"Oh?"

Chen Lang put down his wine glass with a strange expression: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yu did not hide it, and said truthfully: "I think Cao Suo may have falsified the casualty figures of the enemy and us, concealed the truth and coaxed Li Junshou, I hope Chen Changshi can find out on my behalf." ”

“……”

Chen Lang looked at Zhao Yu with a smile.

He is not stupid, how could he not understand Zhao Yu's intentions?

"You want to attack Captain Cao Du with this matter? So that you can take your place? Chen Lang sneered, looked at Zhao Yu playfully and said: "I was very puzzled at the beginning, I was surprised that you came to Xuchang at this time, and today I realized that you wanted to take the opportunity to take the position of Cao Duwei." Your undisguised ambition really impresses me a little. It's a pity that it backfired, and as soon as you arrived in Xuchang, you offended a circle of people......"

"So what?" Zhao Yu said calmly: "I am determined to win the position of captain." ”

“……”

Listening to the conceited tone in Zhao Yu's words, Chen Lang couldn't help but be a little suspicious in his heart, and asked, "Do you still think you can be a captain?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded: "As long as Chen Changshi can help me." ”

"Huh."

Chen Lang laughed, looked at Zhao Yu with bad intentions after laughing three times in a row, and said coldly: "You think I will help you?" …… I won't forget how you treated me in Kunyang that day, and you want me to help you, delusional. ”

Hearing this, Niu Heng and He Shun, who were eating and drinking, immediately raised their heads, and Chen Lang was shocked by the unkind eyes, and hurriedly said: "This is Xuchang, not Kunyang, don't wait for nonsense!" ”

"Huh."

Zhao Yu waved his hand, signaling Niu Heng and He Shun to continue eating and drinking, while he looked at Chen Lang and chuckled, "I believe that Chen Changshi will definitely help me."

"Hahahaha......" Chen Lang laughed, his smile full of mockery.

In this regard, Zhao Yu didn't care about it, and asked lightly: "Chen Changshi, are you very curious, what did I say when I met Li Jun Punctual alone today." ”

Chen Lang's laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at Zhao Yu suspiciously: "What did you say?" ”

"No other."

Zhao Yu spread his hands and said calmly: "I just promised Li Junshou that no matter what, I would desperately protect him thoroughly......

"It turned out to be a flattery." Chen Lang sneered.

"Does Chen Changshi think so?"

Zhao Yu chuckled, then raised his hand and pointed at Chen Lang, and said in a low voice: "Once Li Junshou is persuaded by me to abandon Xuchang and retreat to Kunyang, a few of you will be dead people......

“……”

Chen Lang was stunned, and a hint of confusion appeared on his face.

Suddenly, his face turned pale, and all his confidence was lost at this moment.
