Although Song Cong's painting is not very professional, it is seven or eight points similar, Guan Cheng looked at it and nodded, saying that it was more accurate than his own drawing. Zu Gongmao gave him another mouth and scolded: "Don't you know how to draw? ”

Song Cong cried with a sad face but tried to sneer: "Aren't I inspired by you, you said that I am a laundry steward, how can I draw a map when I have nothing to do, fortunately, I am a native born and raised in Two Wolf City, and I am familiar with this place." ”

Zhang Xiaowu looked at the map on the table and asked, "Song Cong, your picture can't be fake, right?" ”

Song Cong raised his palm high and swore to the sky: "Master Jun, I don't dare to lie to you, I hope you are okay more than you." If it's fake, I'll be hit by five thunderbolts. ”

Guan Cheng said weakly on the side: "This...... I just went to the flat embroidery workshop. ”

Zhang Xiaowu lowered the map and said, "Look at the truth and fake." ”

Guan Cheng carefully inspected it and nodded and said, "The picture is true, it is more familiar than me, and I walked along this road during the day." He pointed to the road he had walked, which was the main road and the road with the most people. Guancheng is a direct Pingxiufang prostitution house, not shopping, so there is no question of whether other paths are true or false.

Zhang Xiaowu used his finger pen to draw the places on the map, calculated the route and timing, and then led his men to quietly observe the city defense through the windows and courtyard walls of the inn. They found that the two wolf cities were heavily guarded, especially at night, the wolf guards almost kept patrolling, and it was difficult to sneak into the flat embroidery workshop from the inn without alarming the wolf guards.

Xiangxiu, a little girl watching the excitement on the side, suddenly said: "If it is arson to create chaos, it is also feasible to burn down the harmful flat embroidery workshop." ”

Zhang Xiaowu broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart, you little girl is so ruthless, you set fire to the Two Wolves City, is this to break the Two Wolves Pass? Speaking of which, if a woman is ruthless, it is much more vicious than a man.

Song Cong said with a bitter face: "Don't talk nonsense, if you burn the Pingxiu Workshop, you will burn the property of the Hou family in Yingchuan, do you know how much trouble this has?" To tell you the truth, if the Marquis of Yingchuan killed the people in the entire Two Wolf City, the emperor would not pursue it. Everyone asked curiously, and Song Congcai said: "A hundred years ago, there were Tatars and Wuhuan people who secretly created chaos in the city, trying to conquer the two wolf passes from the inside out. The old Marquis of Yingchuan ordered the people of the city to stay at home, and those who went to the streets without permission were killed. Due to the flames, coupled with the continuous arson of gaps, many people couldn't stand it and ran out of the yard, and were killed by the wolf guards. That time the wolf guard slaughtered the city and killed half of the people in the two wolf cities. As a result, they reported to the emperor and were rewarded. ”

"You know a lot." Zhang Xiaowu praised.

Song Cong said: "I was born and raised here, so I naturally know about the affairs of the Hou family in Yingchuan." Most of the twelve counts and twenty-four marquis of our Holy Han Empire are in the capital, but our Marquis Yingchuan has been in the Two Wolf City, and they have all become legends here. ”

Several people frowned, scratched their ears and scratched their cheeks, the sneak attack was hopeless, and they couldn't take it.

Wang Yijin lamented: "I'm afraid it won't work at night." ”

"But not during the day." Zu Gongmao said urgently.

Everyone was worried, Song Cong lowered his head and said cowardly: "Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, you can go and enter directly, there is no need to kill it." Everyone looked over, Song Cong was so frightened that he closed his eyes and said uneasily: "Master Jun, Cuiyan Pavilion is a place to do business, although it is behind the Murong family, but businessmen are the most reluctant to cause trouble. After you go in, look for the steward, and spend some more silver, and Hui'er and Xing'er are both eight or nine years old, and they won't need much money. ”

Everyone turned this corner at this time, they were all soldiers, and they only regarded Cuiyanlou as an enemy, thinking that they were clearly killing the past and sneaking up alive, but they didn't think that people were doing business, so they could go in directly. Zhang Xiaowu then thought that if the other party insisted that he hadn't seen Xing'er and Hui'er, wouldn't it be a surprise.

If Wu Song is here at this time, this scholar will definitely be able to think of a proper way when his stomach is bad.

"What if they deny it?" Zhang Xiaowu asked.

Song Cong thought for a while and said, "Then I can't help it, but in the end, I am in business, so I shouldn't really offend you to death." The Murong family has been operating in the Two Wolf City for three hundred years, and if the stewards under them are really the kind of people who can't afford to hire them, I'm afraid that there are people who can replace them. ”

Zu Gongmao said: "If they don't admit it, then we can only do it." ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said, "Let's prepare for both literature and martial arts." ”

Guan Cheng immediately said: "I passed by a blacksmith shop before, there are shovels for sale in the shop, but there are no knives, I heard that knives are not allowed to be sold in the Two Wolves Pass. ”

Zu Gongmao said: "The iron shovel is also handy." ”

Zhang Xiaowu agreed with this idea, the five of them, each with a pair of iron maces, after using them up, and then throw them away, he instructed: "Guancheng, go buy five pairs of iron shovels early tomorrow morning." ”

"Whoa."

Zhang Xiaowu asked again: "Steward Song, if we go to Cuiyan Pavilion to redeem people, will it be harmful to the lives and reputation of Hui'er and Xing'er?" ”

Song Cong hurriedly said: "This is not possible, the Qinglou is divided into singers and dancers and dancers, not to mention singers and dancers, and the singers and dancers are famous prostitutes who serve with art." It is not easy to be a child, not only a woman needs to be talented, but also a clean body. The two young ladies are only seven or eight years old, and Cuiyan Pavilion must teach them to learn art, and when they grow up, they can become famous prostitutes. ”

"If that's the case, don't worry about them for now, we can test it tomorrow." Zhang Xiaowu said, "Tomorrow, I will go and see it first in disguise as a businessman, according to the method of Song Steward." Zu Gongmao and his wife left Song Cong to guard Song Cong, and I was worried that if this person was released, this person would report the news. ”

Song Cong immediately avenged his grievances and said: "Master Jun, I swear to heaven that I will not report the news." ”

Zhang Xiaowu touched his nose and asked: "I only believe in the words of the dead, not the words of the living, do you want me to believe you?" ”

Song Cong hung his head and said, "Then don't believe it......"

Guan Cheng and the others carried Song Cong back, and they couldn't say that they were cleaning up again. After a while, a small guy knocked on the door, Zhang Xiaowu nodded, Wang Yijin opened the door but saw a boy, handed over a letter and turned away.

Zhang Xiaowu opened the letter and saw that he was handsome, like a woman's font, and the book read: "Tomorrow, the Twelve Golden Hairpins of Cuiyan Pavilion will fight Yanyan, and the thirteenth prince of Murong Son, the head of the Qinglou of the Murong family, is present, and it can be very useful to make friends with this person." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said in his heart: "Who is helping us?" After thinking about it, the only one who has anything to do with him is Wolf Ear, but why does Wolf Ear help him? The others looked at him, and he crossed the letter to Wang Yijin, who didn't know whether it was true or not, and guessed: "Is someone trying to harm us?" ”

"No, it's the wolf's ear that sent us the news, if he wanted to harm us, he wouldn't have given us a note to remind us. If the wolf's ears help us like this, there must be a plan. Zhang Xiaowu speculated, "It's just that we don't know what he's trying to do." ”

Wang Yijin said: "Xu is because he worships ghost generals." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Wolf Ear is an intelligence dealer, not a naïve child, worship or not worship is useless for people like him, he must have a plan, he must have a plan." ”

Guan Cheng said: "Either he wants to marry his daughter to you." ”

Zhang Xiaowu kicked him with a smile, and Xiangxiu suddenly said, "Son, haven't you married yet?" Everyone laughed again, Xu was angry with the guests next door, the man scolded, Guan Cheng immediately scolded back, the next door was furious, immediately rushed over with a few men, and after Zhang Xiaowu and others pushed the door open, the man saw that there were many people opposite, and immediately confessed, scolded and said: "Don't sleep in the middle of the night, beware of recruiting wolf guards!" Then he turned and walked away.

Zu Gongmao pouted and said: "Look, people are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, and you can't be too good at being a man." Everyone smiled, but Xiangxiu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she secretly kept this sentence in her heart.

The next day, it suddenly rained in the two wolf cities, and the people on the streets happily traveled with various umbrellas, and there was little rain in the north, and both the Han people and the Hu people hoped that there would be more rain to nourish the earth. But the light rain only stopped for an hour, and a rainbow appeared on the mountain to the east, as if this rainbow bridge was growing on the mountain, attracting many children to laugh.

Guan Cheng and Chen Guanxi bought five pairs of iron maces back, the iron mace was an iron rod, only the arm was long but very heavy, Guan Cheng said that the shopkeeper did not have so many iron maces, but sold the unforged iron rods to them as iron maces.

Everyone tried it, the weight was just right, and if it was smashed on the body, it would either be dead or injured, if it was smashed on the head, the head melon would definitely be broken into several pieces. Xiang Xiu asked with a radiant look: "Childe, have you also used this in the army?" ”

"Not really."

"And what do you use?"

"First with a bow and arrow, then with a spear, and then with a short knife and a knife, this iron shovel is heavy, and it can't be used, and the arm is too tired to lift it after a few rounds." Zhang Xiaowu explained, "So this thing can be used for a short time, and very few people in the army use it." ”

Xiang Xiu hurriedly said: "No, I heard from my grandfather that the ancients had great generals who were good at making double ......."

Guan Cheng said: "The iron shovels are all made of pig iron, too heavy, too short, if they are longer, they will be even heavier, and before they can be picked up on the battlefield, they will be poked by the opponent's spear." The ancient generals could not use iron hammers anymore, and immediately either used a horse capsule, a horse pistol, or a spear gun. ...... with an iron shovel If you don't meet anyone, you will be stabbed to death first. ”

In order to facilitate the cover-up, Zhang Xiaowu asked everyone to hide the iron shovel in an umbrella.

Zu Gongmao and Wu went to the ready-to-wear store together, and bought a set of scholar's clothes and regular clothes for everyone, after Zhang Xiaowu put on the scholar's clothes, he was like a beautiful son, but his beard was a little embarrassed, and his eyes were too sharp. Guan Cheng wore a scholar's suit but it was awkward to look at it, so he had to change into a jinfu pretending to be a guard, Chen Guanxi looked at the scholar's suit and the jinzi, and immediately chose the jinfu. However, Wang Yijin was not tall, and he was dressed as a scholar, and after the four of them dressed up, they looked at each other and laughed.
