sixty-six

66And it came to pass, just after mid-morning, that the two soldiers took great difficulty to open half of the gate of the north gate, and then called the people of the village who were waiting outside the gate to enter the city to push the other half of the door open.

A group of people waiting inside the city gate walked out of the doorway, and these people looked unusual, all of them with knives, two of them holding spears, and one of them carrying a sword with a big grin. The farmers who were waiting to enter the city stood on both sides of the city gate, not daring to squeeze forward, waiting for them to pass.

"Yo, Xu Ye is going to dart so early?" Xu Shiyi walked steadily in the middle of the group, glanced at the soldier who was greeting him with a smile, nodded slightly and walked straight forward, most of the rest of the entourage did not look at this soldier, and followed Xu Shiyi out of the city with an expressionless face.

It was not until they were out of the doorway that the waiting people went out of the city and into the city. Not far from the city gate, there were two vegetable farmers squatting on the side of the road talking, and there were two picks in front of them, one was filled with some fresh melons and vegetables, and the other was empty, and one of them was fanning the wind with a straw hat, as if he was tired of walking. When Xu Shiyi and the others had walked away, this person stood up and followed slowly with an empty pick. The remaining one stayed for a while until they were gone, and then they picked up the picks and entered the north gate, and went directly through the city and out of the south gate to the wharf.

"Ten men, all with knives, with two big guns and a long knife." Zhou Dao said. "Damn, it's a bit much!" Feng Yiyi. "They are afraid of you, ten against three, in fact, eleven against two, I will forget it. They want a safe win, or at least they think I can't run. Zhou Dao said with a cold face, and added, "Damn, there are more of him, more of Lao Tzu!" ”

"Zhu Shun, when will they arrive?" He asked Lao Zhang, "It should be almost, I'll call someone in the first half of the night, and it's almost morning." "Everything is according to what was agreed yesterday, Zhu Shun is fresh face, he and Wu Disaster entered the city, and the rest went with me. You go to Pan Ye now, and the family will be handed over to you! "Zhou Dao said to Lao Zhang cautiously." Well, you are also careful. Lao Zhang nodded, and then went out.

Before noon, a team of thirty or so men went north from outside the southern city around the city, followed by a black mule cart. These people were dressed in civilian clothes but they all carried knives, mainly composed of the grain number and the men of the mill, and some people were also selected on the chicken coop. In Hesheng grain store, Lao Zhang is left with the tent and a few mothers-in-law to support today's business, and the hard work will also find a few boatmen and tooth people to hold it for the time being, if someone knocks on the door today, what will happen?

Zhou Dao walked in the middle of the team with a solemn expression, and Feng Yi was beside him. At this time, a guy came from behind and approached Zhou Dao, as if he wanted to say something but stopped talking. After walking for a while, he still mustered up the courage to approach Zhou Dao's side and asked in a low voice, "Dongjia, why are so many people here today, is it to transport grain?" "It was Qin Zhu who asked the question, he was tall and thin, in his twenties. Zhou Dao glanced sideways at him and replied, "Well, the mountains are not peaceful. In addition, I haven't been out for a long time, so how about letting the brothers come out for a walk, are you happy? "Oh, yes, yes, happy." Qin Zhu nodded, with a reluctant look of joy on his face.

After walking for more than half an hour, they arrived at the mountain pass, and at this time they were about to enter the mountain, and the mule cart stopped on the side of the road, and everyone gathered around to take dry food and water from the cart and put it on their shoulders. Feng Yi took out four large guns from the car and distributed them to several people, and then took out a few wooden shields for people to hold. Even if the ban is lifted, spears and shields are still forbidden weapons, which were secretly collected by people some time ago, and everyone looked at it strangely and stepped forward to play. "Don't make a fuss! Let whoever takes it, take it, and let the others stay aside. Feng Yi shouted in a low voice.

"It's time to go into the mountains, hide the mule cart away." Zhou Dao commanded. The chauffeur drove the mule cart into the distant woods, and Zhou Dao and the others walked into the quiet mountain forest and climbed up the path.

After walking for half an hour, I came to the top of a small hill, where the terrain was a little more spacious, and the people could open up and the view was good. The team stopped, and a farmer with an empty pick came up from the side of the mountain road in front, it was Huang Xiaocai, a guy who had rushed from the chicken coop before.

Zhou Dao and Feng led him to a secluded place and asked, "What's wrong?" "I'll just follow here, and they'll go on." Huang Xiaocai replied. "Didn't find you, did you?" "No, I'm so far away, there are so many of them, I can only see a small bit. Besides, this road is not his home, and I am not the only one walking on the road. Zhou Dao nodded, "How long have they been?" "It's been a while, an hour. "How many of them are there?" "Ten. "Well, you go rest and have something to eat. Zhou Dao turned his head to Feng Yiyi, "Immediately arrange for people to go to the front to keep an eye on them, and see when they will come back." Two people in a shift, you have to hide. Feng nodded in response.

Zhou Dao returned to the crowd and cleared his throat, "Everyone." He raised his hand and pressed down, and the guys knew he had something to say, so they calmed down and looked at him. Brothers, let me tell you something, that is, what are we doing on this mountain today? "
