If it weren't for the other party's sky-high thunder, it was too powerful, and I really wanted people to rush up and fight again!

Madman Tan also thinks the same way, the team led by Madman Tan has already arrived at the scheduled river, and three speedboats are behind them! You can now paddle away from the river at any time.

However, he saw that there were still more than 400 people staring at him in Jinyiwei, which could be regarded as attracting a lot of attention from his opponent, so he was not in a hurry to leave.

According to the personality of Tan's madman Thunderbolt, after such a long confrontation, I have long wanted to go crazy, and I can't wait to go up in person to fight with the opposite Jinyi Wei for a few rounds to enjoy it.

The two sides have been in such a strange situation that they have been not far away and not close, monitoring each other.

"Commander, will you go and take a break? Let's do it here. A thousand households patted their ass and said: "You go to Wuqing City to have a few bowls of hot Yangchun noodles, this day is getting colder, warm up, and then get a good inn to rest for a night." ”

When several other households heard this, they hurriedly nodded their heads in agreement, and said that Xu Xianchun should go and rest quickly, and there was no need to work so hard.

Xu Xianchun raised his hand and stopped the gang from patting on the back, "Millions of taels of gold, as well as immeasurable antique treasures, I have never heard of such a big case since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!" It can even be said that it is rare in ancient times! My generation eats the court, how can I not be faithful to my duties? ”

Everyone saw that Xu Xianchun said such a righteous and awe-inspiring thing, and they didn't dare to persuade it again, Qi claimed that it was, but one by one, they were slandered, secretly wondering if it was not Wei Zhongxian who came to power, is it your turn to say big things here?

Although Xu Xianchun is a martial artist, he is a good hand at Jinyiwei! No one will admire anyone in martial arts.

On judging the case, on arresting the murderer, no one will accept anyone, everyone is a good hand.

In the middle of the night, the person sent by Duan Pengcheng, the Jinyi Wei Qianhu who was caught by Lin Wenbiao and them, finally arrived!

Because this man was on horseback and went first, he was slightly faster than the agent sent by the Statistics Office to report to Madman Tan.

However, the agents of the Statistics Bureau who reported to Madman Tan were also about to arrive, because the agents of the Statistics Bureau knew exactly where they were now, and the people sent by Duan Pengcheng had to search along the way to find Jinyiwei's team.

It doesn't seem right to say that the brigade of people and horses is not right, because Xu Xianchun divided the more than 800 people he brought with him 300 people to search for the whereabouts of the thieves, and there were only more than 500 people around him, which was not much more than 300 people.

"You found a large number of wagons? Duan Pengcheng said that he was a thief with a large share? Is this just a lure to attract our attention? Can he be sure? Xu Xianchun frowned.

"To be sure, Duan Qianhu judged from the traces of their cars, at least a thousand carriages!" The messenger replied.

Xu Xianchun nodded and looked at the people around him, "So, Duan Qianhu has really found the true location of that gang of thieves!" And Duan Qianhu's analysis is also very reasonable, they must be trying to find a beach in Hejian Mansion and use a big boat to transport all their belongings! ”

Xu Xianchun looked at the map as he spoke, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he drew the entire route of the opponent, from the capital to the seaside of Hejian Mansion, he had completely agreed with Duan Pengcheng's judgment.

Others wouldn't give him any advice, and everyone waited silently for Xu Xianchun to give an order.

You are the conductor of this time, whatever you say is what, anyway, the credit is yours, and if there is a black cauldron, it has to be yours!

"Leave a hundred people here, keep an eye on them! They must not be let out! The others come with me! Xu Xianchun quickly gave his own answer. He is going to take four hundred men and go after the main force of the thieves!

Although there is no clear information, Xu Xianchun has already judged that the hundred or so people opposite him now, and the fifty carriages they are carrying, must be nothing, and the carriages are estimated to be some firewood and other things, otherwise why are they tightly wrapped in cloth?

Everyone agreed loudly and followed Xu Xianchun, who was galloping on horseback.

"Commander, they're gone!" Someone said to Madman Tan.

Madman Tan squinted his eyes and looked with a telescope, although it was already late at night, his telescope was the most advanced military telescope, with night vision function, which could see the enemy situation clearly!

"It looks like Lin Wenbiao and they are exposed!" Madman Tan was a little anxious, "Jinyiwei just wants to leave a small group of people to spy on us and go to the brigade chasing us!" ”

"What now? Did you do it with the brocade guard on the other side? They only left a hundred people, what are we afraid of? We also have 100 people. An officer said with a strong face.

Several other officers immediately chimed in, all wanting to fight!

The lowest rank of the convoy is also the non-commissioned officer, and everyone here has combat experience and a high level of loyalty to the president, which makes them even braver.

"Unload the horses from the carriage, and we can have one horse for each of us! But even so, there is no full chance of winning the battle. Madman Tan said: "And our task is to drag the opponent, not to fight, I'm afraid that we can't drag the opponent now." ”

Madman Tan was hesitant to talk to himself, which was very different from his usual style, but he was no longer the original green forest willow, but an officer, still trained, and the concept of the system had been accepted by him. Madman Tan now has more issues to think about than before.

Seeing that Regiment Leader Tan was hesitating, everyone whispered and urged the regiment leader to give the order quickly.

"Don't make any noise! Send two people to contact Steward Lin! Madman Tan raised his hand and stopped the pleading of the people below: "Fight, I want to fight too, I'm afraid it will ruin the overall plan, do you bear this responsibility?" ”

When everyone heard what Captain Tan said, they didn't dare to urge it anymore, these people are also disciplined people.

"Commander, I don't think there is any need to send someone to contact, if there is a change in the plan of the forest manager, they will definitely come to us! We send people now, but it is easy to go wrong, so it is better to wait here with peace of mind. A staff officer suggested.

Madman Tan nodded, feeling reasonable: "Wait another hour, if no one comes to contact, let's scuttle the dinghy, discard the carriage, and ride together to find a large group of people!" If anything happens to them, we can't just walk away! ”

Everyone said that this was the best idea, and they all expressed their willingness to share the hardships with the brigade.

Although everyone didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew in their hearts that something was wrong!

Otherwise, the Jinyi Guard, who had been following them all the time, would not have transferred most of the people away, leaving only a hundred or so people to continue to confront them.

After waiting for more than an hour, no one came to contact, Madman Tan and the others were a little anxious, and decided to send someone to contact Lin Wenbiao's team!

At this time, the liaison sent by Lin Wenbiao arrived, this person was a senior agent of the Beijing Station of the Bureau of Statistics, who was very familiar with the terrain and knew the exact location of Tan Maniac and the others, so although they came on foot, they were not much behind the people who contacted Jinyiwei and Xu Xianchun on horseback.

"Captain Tan, great! I'm afraid you're not here. The man bypassed the hundred Jiannu who had stayed on the opposite side to keep watch, went to the side of the Tan madman, and then reported the code of this operation!

After informing the person who came with his name, Madman Tan confirmed that it was his own person and let the agent come over.

"How's it going over there? You've been exposed! Madman Tan asked eagerly, but he didn't care about the dry mouth and chapped lips: "Quick, give this brother a kettle." ”

The senior agent of the Beijing Station of the Statistics Bureau took a sip of water and moistened his throat slightly: "We know that it has been exposed!" So the agency changed the plan of action! As he spoke, he took out a map and pointed out Lin Wenbiao's changed road map.

After hearing this, Madman Tan and the officers were a little confused, this has changed a lot! However, there was no objection either.

"It's okay to change it like this, but once you enter the triangle lake, if the sailors of Hejian Mansion get the news and block the Wei River, it will be troublesome if you want to go out again!" Lin Wenbiao said: "Moreover, the big boats we hired are all big boats at the canal wharf, and many of them are boats of the gangs in the rivers and lakes below, these people are not easy to control!" They're not from our Coast Guard. Whether they can follow Lin Wenbiao's change plan and arrive at the north depression of the triangle lake tomorrow night is uncertain! ”

"I don't know about this, I'll just pass the word." The senior agent of the Beijing Station of the Statistics Bureau said: "The agency asks Captain Tan to bring people and rush to Beiwa to meet us immediately!" Don't be followed! Don't reveal your whereabouts! ”

Madman Tan nodded and said to everyone: "Lin Wenbiao is the commander-in-chief of this operation!" We've got to listen to him! Now we can only scuttle the ship and kill the brocade guards on the other side, otherwise our whereabouts will be exposed, and they will definitely continue to follow us! ”

Everyone nodded yes in unison, and they all said that they would scuttle the ship and kill this group of brocade guards.

Madman Tan watched everyone go to scuttle the ship, and then looked at the direction of the hundred or so Jinyi guards opposite, a little worried.

If it was a sneak attack, he believed that he would be able to take advantage of it with his own combat strength!

But now that people are staring at their side, there is definitely no possibility of a sneak attack! Both sides are like great enemies!

The speedboats were scuttled, and the horses were unloaded from the wagons!

Almost everyone has a horse, and now it's just a matter of attacking!

After thinking for a while, Madman Tan said, "Let's attack before dawn!" I forgive these people and don't dare to do anything to us, leaving two people to stare at each other, and the others to sleep well! ”

The senior agent of the Statistics Bureau didn't want to sway the order of the madman Tan, but when he heard this, he reminded: "Launching an attack before dawn, although it is beneficial for us to take advantage of the other party's most sleepy time, but marching after dawn is also easier to expose!" ”

Madman Tan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely not be exposed!" Now Xu Xianchun took more than 400 people to personally look for our brigade, and he must be looking for it in the direction of Tianjin Wei, and he would never have thought that our brigade had turned around and gone to Beiwa! As long as you get rid of this group of brocade guards, I promise that my whereabouts will not be revealed! ”

"It's not just the brocade guard, I'm afraid of being seen by the people passing by!" Senior Secret Service of the Census and Statistics Department.

"After the battle, clean up the battlefield, and then go in groups of five, go separately, everyone leads the horse on foot, clears the traces of walking as they go, pay attention to concealment, although it is slower, it will not be noticed! People are only regarded as passing merchants! Madman Tan said: "The most important thing at the moment is to try to annihilate this group of Jinyi Guards!" These 100 or so people are not easy to deal with! ”

Seeing that the madman Tan had taken it into account, the senior agent from the Beijing Station of the Bureau of Statistics nodded and stopped talking.

Everyone then entered a state of rest according to the order of Madman Tan, and there were still three hours before the action, which was enough to recuperate.

The hundred or so brocade guards on the opposite side also wanted to sleep, but they didn't dare to sleep as if they were facing a great enemy! Afraid of being run away by the opponent, I didn't think that they would dare to turn back and sneak attack.

In the hearts of Jinyiwei, who has never suffered losses, they are all invincible in the world, and it seems that everyone in this world can only retreat when they see Jinyiwei!

However, before dawn, there was still an hour before dawn, and many people could not stand it anymore, and they all sat on the ground and snoozed.

The Jinyi Wei Qianhu who led the team could only let the two of them pay attention to the movement on the opposite side, and let everyone rest for a while.

He thought that the period before dawn was the most dangerous time, but with a fluke mentality and a habit of not being able to live forever, he still relaxed his vigilance!

Before dawn, in the darkest hour, the night covered the whole world like ink.

Crazy Tan's men and horses launched an attack on the Jinyi guard on the opposite side!

The speed of the horses is very fast, and the distance between the two sides is only very close, only two or three hundred meters! It was originally a stalemate state to start at any time, and if one party made the first move, the other party's men and horses would suffer a lot!

"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”

"The thieves have been killed! Hurry up! ”

The two brocade guards who were in charge of monitoring the movements on the opposite side shouted in fright!

The brocade guards are all well-trained, and they heard the shouting, and some people seemed to be asleep, and faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the ground, and many people bounced!

Everyone is lying in their clothes, and they instinctively want to board the horse!

From being awakened to boarding the horse, this group of well-trained brocade guards only takes 30 seconds at most!

It's a pity that the non-commissioned officers of the escort team only took less than 10 seconds from launching the charge to reaching their side!

This time, Madman Tan didn't let people use grenades, because when the cavalry was charging at high speed, grenades were actually useless.

The grenade is only a defensive weapon, and its role in the offensive is not prominent, and the power can only be maximized when ambushing and defending the city!

Even if there were not a few people on the horse, the people of the Jinyi Guard were really good, and they were very strong, and they pulled out their waist knives on the spot and fought with the non-commissioned officers of the escort team.

In this dark environment, only the bonfire glows, but it also allows both sides to see clearly.

Knife to knife, fist to fist and kick, this is the time to show martial arts.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, Madman Tan's side defeated the opponent at the cost of more than 60 deaths and annihilated the opponent!

This is still a situation where the conditions are superior, if it is one-on-one and the conditions are equal, Madman Tan feels that the average level of the non-commissioned officers of the escort team may be slightly inferior to the average level of the Jinyi guard!

However, Madman Tan didn't have time to think about this, and asked everyone to clean up the battlefield quickly! Burn all the corpses! It's too late to bury it.

Everyone dispersed and evacuated, and there were only 38 people left, divided into eight groups to evacuate!

Remove traces while retreating, and lead the horse on foot.

At this time, the east was already white, and the world was clouded.

Their goal is to meet the brigade led by Lin Wenbiao!

At the same time, Xu Xianchun took more than 400 people and was still looking for the thief's brigade carriage, and they searched for a whole night and found nothing!

"Impossible! It's impossible! Even if you can't find the thief, you won't even be able to find the three hundred brocade guards who were sent out to search and track the thief! Xu Xianchun was a little frustrated, he had never felt so frustrated.

"yes, what a hell! Where are our people? The mark was broken on the way I came! It stands to reason that it's in this area? We've all gone back and forth! Even if they are in a hurry to chase the thief, they won't even have time to leave a mark, right? A thousand households were surprised.

"Commander, will all of our people be killed by thieves?" He had never said anything, but the scheming Yang Huan suddenly spoke.

Xu Xianchun glanced at Yang Huan in shock, this kind of thought, he Xu Xianchun was not unprecedented, and at first he also felt that the 300 brocade guards on his side might have encountered an accident.

But this kind of thought was unconsciously denied by him! That's 300 brocade guards! Jin Yiwei usually goes out on a mission, and it is enough to have a small flag of twenty or thirty people!

Dispatching 100 people is a rare errand, and it has never been missed!

300 brocade guards, will they be killed all at once?

Who has this ability?

Yang Huan saw that Xu Xianchun never spoke, knowing that this matter was very important, if it was really like that, Xu Xianchun would have to bear a big black cauldron if he didn't do it! The death of 300 brocade guards at one time is enough to shake the government and the opposition, that is, to fight Jiannu, and the Ming army is also very good to encounter such heavy casualties!

Therefore, Yang Huan said again: "Commander, don't take it to heart, I'll just say it casually." ”

Xu Xianchun nodded and said indifferently: "You can say whatever you want!" However, I don't think I'm a big Ming brocade guard, and 300 people! Will be killed by thieves! In that case, these 300 people are wine bags and rice bags, and they are not worthy of wearing my brocade clothes! ”

Everyone secretly thought, damn, your pot is too disgusting, right? Do you know how many thieves there are? Everyone worked hard and worked an errand, and if they were killed, they would become unworthy of wearing brocade clothes? If there is any errand after that, you Xu Xianchun will go alone!

However, everyone can only take these slanders in their hearts, and the iron law of Jinyiwei is to only know how to obey the orders of their superiors! It is to kill brothers and brothers, fathers, sons, families, sisters and mothers, and they will kill with iron and blood, without mercy.

"Expand the scope of the search, and give me a careful search from Wuqing to Tianjin Wei, Tianjin Wei to Dagukou, and Beitang! Let people contact Kyoshi immediately! Ask for reinforcements, at least 10,000 infantry! Use all the horses in the capital, and then transfer 1,500 knights from the brocade guards! In addition, let the river house block all intersections! The sailors of Hejian Province keep a close eye on the seaside, and if they find any suspicious boats, they will all be detained! From now on, they will not rest day or night! Xu Xianchun looked at the rising sun in the sky irritably, the autumn sun, still hot!

Several brocade guards in charge of the order agreed, and they all secretly wondered if you have so much power to mobilize these people? However, that is the business of the officials, and they are only responsible for talking. Seeing that Xu Xianchun didn't add anything, after saluting, he got on his horse and walked quickly in several directions.

"It is impossible for thieves to go so fast, they have a large number of wagons and a lot of loads! I was sure to find a place to hide in the neighborhood! Tell all the surrounding areas, issue notices, and if you don't report it, you will be guilty of rebellion! Anyone who informs the thief of the news will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver! Xu Xianchun then added to the rest of the people.

How many thousands of households have already rewarded 10,000 taels of silver? Do you give money? Do you think you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard? The imperial court is to arrest the most arrogant Jiangyang thief, and the reward is capped at 500 taels of silver, and I have never even heard of a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, and you open your mouth to reward 10,000 taels of silver.

Xu Xianchun saw everyone's doubts, and snorted coldly: "I believe that the nine-thousand-year-old Lord Hetian, as well as several grand dukes from Dongchang, will definitely approve of rewarding 10,000 taels of silver!" You need to know that the thieves hijacked millions of taels of gold alone! What's the point of rewarding 10,000 taels of silver? If only we can recover those gold and antique treasures! Can Jin Shang not be indicated? ”

Yang Huan raised his hand, interrupted Xu Xianchun's words, and said softly: "Lord Xu, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Xu Xianchun nodded, followed Yang Huan away, and went to a place where no one could hear.

"Lord Xu! I understand what adults mean, and I also know that adults are loyal to the country and want to help the nine-thousand-year-old Wada-sama solve their problems. But have you ever thought about it, you are tantamount to characterizing the case in this way! If you give out such a big bounty, the world will surely shake! Moreover, it is equivalent to ruling out the possibility that Jin Shang himself is a thief and catches a thief! Yang Huan reminded thoughtfully.

Xu Xianchun was stunned, he really didn't expect so much, "Jin Shang himself is a thief shouting to catch a thief?" Impossible, right? ”

"No matter whether it is impossible, such a big case will definitely alarm all parties, if the court investigates it, who can guarantee that such a big case will be solved? In case it can't be broken, is there a better way than to let Jin Shang eat himself? Just accuse them of being a thief and shouting to catch a thief, and arrest a few Jin merchants at will, maybe the case will fade! Yang Huan said softly: "Even if we don't leave a way back for ourselves, you have to leave a way back for Lord Tian, for the nine thousand years old and a few grand dukes of Dongchang, right?" Don't make it to the end, you promise Lord to take this thunder yourself! ”

Xu Xianchun was frightened by Yang Huan, and at the same time grateful, he hurriedly clenched his fists, and his attitude was enthusiastic, "Thank you Lord Yang for mentioning it!" ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, we're brothers." Yang Huan smiled. The reason why he mentioned Xu Xianchun so much is mainly because Xu Xianchun's family background is prominent, and now he is getting Wei Zhongxian's favor, and he is his top boss, if Xu Xianchun is unlucky, he may not be able to do any good, but he has helped Xu Xianchun with all his heart, and Xu Xianchun will definitely give himself back in the future!

Xu Xianchun patted Yang Huan's arm: "Lord Yang, I have written down this kindness!" After that, he strode back to the position just now, and said to the thousands of Jinyi guards: "Don't make a noise for the time being!" I'll wait for the officers of the Beijing Division to reply, but we can't be idle, we have to step up the pursuit of clues! I'll rush to Tianjin Wei now and watch it for myself! As long as you don't let go of the sea route and don't let the thieves escape from the sea route, there will always be a time to pull them out! ”

Hearing Xu Xianchun say this, the thousands of households and hundreds of households in Jinyi Wei also relaxed a little, stepping up the investigation is free activity, just unhurried, as long as you don't force everyone like crazy! That's what it is, no matter how big the case is, it's not like we committed the case, what are you doing as if you committed the case yourself? Nothing to blame?

"Yes!" The thousands of households and hundreds of households in the brocade clothes agreed with their fists neatly.

Xu Xianchun divided the more than 400 brocade guards into four teams, and demarcated a search area for them on the map: "Remember, be careful!" Although it is impossible to determine how many thieves there are, it is possible that they dare to kill Jinyiwei! These are real bandits! ”

"Yes! Rest assured, Commander! The thousands of households and hundreds of households in the brocade clothes agreed with their fists neatly again.

As soon as Xu Xianchun left, they immediately led the team and hid in the town in the search area that Xu Xianchun demarcated for them, it was so dangerous, who would dare to go around looking for thieves without knowing whether they were alive or dead?

When Madman Tan first heard the news that Lin Wenbiao was going to change his plan and flee to Triangle to hide, he felt that it was inappropriate.

But in fact, Lin Wenbiao is not untargeted, but he deeply understands and understands the routines of a group of people in the Ming officialdom, so he made such a decision.

Hiding for a few days is far better than going head-to-head with the officers and soldiers! Once the government can't find anyone, it will immediately turn to internal intrigue, where is the effort to put all your mind on doing things?

If the Ming officialdom is really so efficient, let alone a robbery, no matter how many Jiannu are wiped out a hundred times.

By the time Wei Bao received the verbal notice of the change plan sent by Lin Wenbiao, it was already the evening two days after he arrived in Tianjin.

On the evening of the first day he arrived in Tianjinwei, Wei Bao said that he wanted to go out for a walk after drinking according to the predetermined plan, and then he wanted to get rid of these sons and brothers, and take them to the beach alone, waiting for the arrival of the large number of gold thieves at the assembly place of more than 50 large ships hired by him.

Then everyone took a boat back to Weijiazhuang, and in that way, the matter was done.

There was a little bit of a mistake, and Wei Bao couldn't get rid of Wu Xuexia.

Wu Xuexia saw that Wei Bao's people were carrying a lot of accompanying items, not at all like Wei Bao said, so she took the maid Xiang'er and two servants to follow Wei Bao.

Before they left Tianjin, Wei Bao's people discovered them.

Wei Bao asked Wu Xuexia to go back, but Wu Xuexia naturally refused.

Wei Bao had no choice but to ask Wu Xuexia to tell the two servants not to follow, and agreed to take her and her maid Xiang'er.

In this way, Wu Xuexia and Xiang'er accompanied Wei Bao to wait at the beach for one night, plus a day.

At this time, it was almost dusk, on a large sea boat, Wei Bao watched the gorgeous sunset floating on the sea, although the scenery was very beautiful and gorgeous, but Wei Bao's mood was not too good.
