Verse 264 Chance Encounter, I

Shi Yong and Duan Jingzhu telegraphed Liangshan that they had sent capable spies and had found the nest of the Cui family in Yandi, and had roughly figured out the situation.

As a strong horse thief who is proficient in Liaodong, the fast horse scimitar has come and gone like the wind and is invincible in battle over the years, and they have this self-confidence.

Zhao Yue weighed for a long time, and finally denied the invitation of the four generals, and decided to go in person and let the four generals investigate carefully.

It's not that he doesn't believe in the combat effectiveness of this small army lurking in the Liao State in the form of a horse thief, but because this horse thief has an extremely important task and cannot afford to lose.

Today, the sea route from the south to the north has been monopolized and blocked by the Cangzhao navy and frequent caravans, cutting off the convenient channels for the powerful eunuchs and profiteers of the Great Song Dynasty to collaborate with the enemy to fund the enemy's vital materials and sell the intelligence of the Great Song Dynasty to obtain huge profits. The difficult land has become the only way for these people to choose, but no matter how difficult it is, it can't stop the greedy hearts of these traitors, and no matter how dangerous it is, it can't scare the courage to make profits.

These traitors and traitors only have interests in their eyes, no country or nation, they are consumed by profit, they are bold enough, their power is big and strong enough, they collude with the top and bottom of the country with power, open the way with money, and display their magical powers, forming a secret smuggling network one after another, and each has its own secret channels. With Zhao Gonglian's ability and strict control of Qingzhou, he could not cut off the smuggling channels, not to mention other borders of the Great Song Dynasty.

Shi Yong, Duan Jingzhu's department not only stole Liaojin's fine horses and BMWs, but also was responsible for looting traitors' materials and enemies, intercepting and killing traitor intelligence agents, and cracking down on the network of sabotaging traitors' intelligence trafficking. The Jinliao battle situation and the dynamics of Liaodong also mainly rely on the four generals to provide.

In the past few years, the four generals have had a thrilling and hard life. It's fun, and it's a lot of credit.

Almost all of the BMW of the general of the Cangzhao army were stolen by the four generals. have to accept this lot of favors.

The horse thief army and the intelligence network of the department effectively intercepted the leakage of a large amount of intelligence from the Great Song Dynasty, which greatly protected the interests of the Han nation. The uncovered information and confessions allowed Cangzhao to grasp the secrets and criminal evidence of a large number of powerful eunuchs and profiteers in the Great Song Dynasty, further recognized the enemy and the target to be attacked, and also protected Cangzhao's secrets and security in the Great Song Dynasty to a certain extent. The looted materials have also strengthened the development of Cangzhao Group. In the future, when attacking the north and encircling and suppressing the Jin Kingdom, the horse thief army was also the backbone guide.

Therefore, the role of this capable team can be said to be indispensable, and it cannot afford to lose, and it cannot take great risks just because of the destruction of a traitor. After all, it was in the heart of enemy territory. The slightest carelessness will be surrounded and intercepted by the Liao army, resulting in the annihilation of the participating troops.

The Liao army has declined as a whole, and it is no longer as strong as it used to be. But you can't really be the elite troops guarding Yanjing, they are vegetarians.

Fast horse scimitar and quick reaction are still the advantages of the horseback nation to survive.

However, the cancer of the Cui family must be eradicated. The immovable army fought hard against the Yanjing Liao army, and the only force that could be called was the horse thief army.

Shi Yong, Duan Jingzhu, Pan Xun, and Pan Su will be honed. But they are all bold and prone to impulsive and reckless acts.

I am afraid that they will retaliate or make meritorious deeds, and they will take risks rashly.

Zhao Yue was really not at ease, he didn't want to wait to gamble on this clean-up mission, and he wanted to go to the field in person. Grasp the comprehensive intelligence, so that you can make a better attack and retreat self-protection plan.

If the horse thieves are in large force, they are really not sure that they will retreat safely. He was determined to infiltrate the Cui family alone and hit the backbone of the Cui family hard.

Time waits for no one.

Zhao Yue left Liangshan. Alone and fast to Cangzhou. Wang Nianjing, Wu Neng, and Xu Jin were all waiting in Zhaozhuang.

In recent years, corrupt officials, local tyrants and inferior gentry have emerged in an endless stream like maggots attached to the bones, and they are everywhere in the Great Song Dynasty. The legal system is chaotic, people's livelihood is difficult, thieves are everywhere, and it is really unsafe to travel outside. Alone, if you are safe on the road, you can borrow a wilderness village to stay at will, not only is the food and lodging not good, but you must always pay attention to the vigilance, and you will not be able to rest well at night.

On this day, Zhao Yue saw that it was getting late, and he didn't want to spend the night in the countryside to avoid accidents, so he urged the horse to rush to the county seat to find an inn for accommodation before the city gate was closed.

Xinma walked slowly in the county, and the four big characters of "Baolai Inn" on the side of the road came into view in the afterglow of the sunset.

Zhao Yue's sharp eyes glanced at the decoration and scale of the inn, well, the name is old-fashioned, but it should be a big inn with years of power and family, there should be specialty dishes, and the accommodation conditions should be good, at least clean. He was satisfied, so he chose to deal with it for one night.

The hotel welcome Xiao Er is doing eyelid work, at a glance at the momentum of Zhao Yue on the high-headed horse, you don't need to look at whether the clothes are expensive or whether the money bag is rich, you know that this is not an ordinary person, and immediately piled up a professional smile on her face, and trotted to meet it.

"Yo, honorable official, are you here?"

At first glance, those who don't understand it seem that this guy knows Zhao Yue and has been waiting here for a long time on behalf of the master's family.

Zhao Yue has been wandering in the south and north of the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, and he knows in his heart that this is just a means for the hotel to attract high-quality guests to enter the store for consumption.

Seeing Zhao Yue's knife-like gaze, the shopkeeper glanced at him and only responded casually with a smile, and understood that this person must be an expert who is familiar with the rules of travel, and has the identity and strength, so he can't be easily fooled and deceived, so he immediately put away his careful thoughts and became more and more enthusiastic.

"It's a great honor for a big official to come to the small shop. The little one can serve the uncle......"

With a polite flattery in his mouth, he respectfully stretched out his hand to help Zhao Yue dismount, and Zhao Yue had turned over and dismounted.

The shopkeeper cleverly closed his hand, bent down and smiled: "Our restaurant has good dishes and wine, and we have clean and comfortable rooms." The little one dares to ask the big officials if they want to stay? Or do you want to have a banquet? If it's the latter, the small ones will be rewarded early, and they must be ready to satisfy the big officials as soon as possible......"

Zhao Yue stretched his muscles and bones, relieved the fatigue of riding a horse for a long time, and asked lightly: "Your hotel still has a room, right?" ”

Xiao Er was even more pleased when he heard it, and said continuously: "Yes, the big officials are coming, and there must be one." Guarantee the satisfaction of the big officials and people. ”

Zhao Yue smiled.

No matter what the era, it is not easy for ordinary people to survive.

On a cold day, it's hard for this thinly dressed shopkeeper to smile so sweetly in the cold wind and say so slippery.

He took out a large handful of copper coins, no matter how much, and rewarded Xiao Er casually, rejecting Xiao Er's move of reaching out to lead the horse for him in surprise, and said with a smile: "This horse has a strong temperament, and strangers can't hold it." You lead the way, arrange it with me, and it's not too late to enter the store. ”

"Alas. The small ones listen to the big officials. I will especially instruct the men to give the BMW of the big officials to drink warm water essence, and keep it properly washed and served. Officials, please go this way. ”

Xiao Er arranged the horses, followed Zhao Yue into the store, booked the guest room, fetched water and washed his face, guided the seats, and introduced the dishes......

Zhao Yue went to the table on the side of the lobby and sat down on the wall, put down his bags, and glanced at the hotel by the way.

Sitting here is quiet, not conspicuous and not obstructive, and the view is wide, and the situation in the hotel and the people in and out of the hotel can be seen at a glance. In the unlikely event of an accident, we can detect and react in time. It is also close to the window, so that it is convenient to observe the outside and escape through the window when it is dangerous.

The master had specially taught him. When he goes out, he sits like this, no matter how many people are with him. (To be continued.) )
