"Didn't Jaeyoung come back either?" The second master looked a little puzzled, and then continued: "My eldest brother should have gone to suppress bandits, recently there was a gang of rogues near Baishan, and he actually set up camp there. These days, this gang of rogues often blocks the road and robs, so the county lord ordered the eldest brother to exterminate them. As for Jae-young, I don't know, the county lieutenant doesn't seem to have arranged a task for Jae-young's song. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shumo sighed in his heart: I didn't arrange a task for Lou Zaiying, so why hasn't Lou Zaiying come back now? Zhang Shumo couldn't help but worry in his heart, hurriedly said goodbye to the second master, and returned to the courtyard of the big house.

When Mrs. Qing saw Zhang Shumo coming back, she hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Did you find out anything? ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "The second grandfather said that grandpa took and took Zaiying to suppress bandits, and Lou Yin also went and went." ”

"Huh? Bandits? Those bandits are all outlaws who kill people without blinking, nothing will happen to a child in Jaeyoung, right? ”

The reason why Zhang Shumo didn't tell the truth was that he was worried that Mrs. Qing would be worried, so he hurriedly comforted: "No, it's going to be fine, grandpa will, will protect them." If you can't let it go, don't worry, I'll go out and investigate. ”

Lou Guang stood up when he heard this: "Brother-in-law, you are a scholar and you don't know martial arts, so I'll go and investigate." ”

Mrs. Qing slapped Lou Guang on the back: "What are you causing me a mess?" Honestly eat and sleep at home. After speaking, he looked at Zhang Shumo: "Then you should be careful." ”

Zhang Shumo was worried about Lou Zaiying, and he left Lou's house without bothering about greetings.

As soon as he arrived on the street, Zhang Shumo calmed down. Now that it is getting late, there is a curfew in Thanh Hoa City, and the city gate will be closed when it arrives, so I am afraid that I will not be able to come back by walking out like this, so I have to borrow a carriage.

Zhang Shumo went straight to Lu Li's restaurant, and when Lu Li saw Zhang Shumo, he quickly led him to the second floor. Zhang Shumo was anxious and no longer polite: "I, I need a horse, a carriage." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it, but can the second son tell me what are you going to do so late?"

"Go, go to the barracks."

Lu Li looked at Zhang Shumo's anxious appearance, and knew in his heart that something was wrong, since he was going to the barracks, it was related to Lou Zaiying, so Lu Li immediately arranged the carriage without delay.

Zhang Shumo got into the carriage, and Lu Li explained: "Second son, this is Hu Xing and Hu Kun, they are both their own people, if you have anything to tell them." ”

Hu Xing and Hu Kun hurriedly saluted Zhang Shumo, and Zhang Shumo waved his hand in a hurry: "Hurry, hurry up." ”

So Hu Kun drove the carriage, and Hu Xing escorted Zhang Shumo to the military camp on the outskirts of the city.

The military camp was stationed in a small village called Ma Ying in the north of the county seat, and the carriage was stopped by a group of soldiers before it reached the barracks. Zhang Shumo hurriedly got out of the car to explain his intentions, and under the guidance of the soldiers, the carriage entered the barracks.

Zhang Shumo was taken to an empty account, and after a while, a man walked in: "You are Zhang Shumo?" ”

"Right, exactly below." Zhang Shumo hurriedly saluted the man.

The man looked behind him, and after making sure that there was no one, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Shumo's arm and whispered: "Marquis Lou left the barracks in the afternoon, and leaving without an order is to be dealt with by military law, so we concealed it and did not report it." It seems that Lou Junhou hasn't come back yet? ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "Ge, Your Excellency, do you know where Lou and Lou Zaiying went?" ”

"Master Lou went to Baishan to suppress bandits today, and in the afternoon, a soldier came to ask for help and said that Master Lou was surrounded, and the Marquis Lou was worried about Master Lou's comfort and went to support alone. In this way, it seems that this wave of mountain bandits is quite powerful, and Master Lou can't control them with 200 men and horses. ”

Zhang Shumo became even more anxious after hearing this, Master Lou's 200 centaurs went and didn't come back, didn't Lou Zaiying go to death alone? Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo hurriedly said goodbye to the man: "Thank you, thank you, you haven't invited your Excellency yet, please ask your Excellency to respect your surname, your name, wait for this, this matter is over, I will come to thank you." ”

The man waved his hand: "My name is Shang Lei, I have heard of your name for a long time, there is no need to thank you, it is my honor to know a talented person like you." Okay, it's not too early, you can go to the county lieutenant Lord Yang Hua, Master Lou hasn't come back with No. 200 people for so long, he will definitely have other arrangements. ”

Zhang Shumo was not hypocritical, and after leaving the big tent, he got into the carriage and rushed towards the county governor's mansion.

Before the carriage drove to the city gate, Hu Kun saw the fire at the city gate, and there should be a large group of people entering the city. Hu Kun hurriedly reported the situation to Zhang Shumo, Zhang Shumo looked at it, and guessed that it was Master Lou who came back, and immediately ordered Hu Kun to chase after him.

Sure enough, after the group caught up, they found Master Lou walking at the front of the team, and Hu Kun immediately shouted: "Master Lou, stay!" ”。

When Master Lou heard the shouting, he stopped and looked behind him, and the carriage quickly came over.

Without waiting for the carriage to stop, Zhang Shumo couldn't wait to get out: "Grandpa, have you ever seen Zaiying?" ”

Master Lou frowned: "I went out to suppress bandits, how could I meet her?" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Shumo took a half step back, and then asked: "No, didn't you let people go to the barracks to ask for help?" ”

Hearing Zhang Shumo's words, Master Lou was also uneasy: "When did I send someone to the barracks to ask for help, what happened, you tell me clearly!" ”

Zhang Shumo took a few steps back as if he had received a thunderbolt from the sky, and Hu Kun and Hu Xing hurriedly supported him. Zhang Shumo was stunned for a while, and immediately became serious: "Grandpa, there are, someone went to the barracks to ask for help, saying, saying that you have encountered hemp and trouble, Zaiying and she went to look for you single-handedly, looking for you, I, she didn't go home before I came out!" ”

After hearing this, Master Lou immediately turned over and dismounted, and grabbed Zhang Shumo's collar: "Who did you listen to?" ”

"The army and the barracks are still Lei, it should not, not fake. Jae-young is afraid that he has been deceived and deceived. Zhang Shumo's eyes narrowed into a line, and he became much calmer than just now.

Master Lou clenched his right fist and slapped his left palm fiercely, and then shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Everyone listen to the order, let's return to Baishan!" ”

"No!" A soldier beside Master Lou hurriedly shouted to Master Lou, and then said: "Without the order of the county lieutenant, the adult's private use of soldiers will be dealt with by military law." ”

Hearing the soldier's reminder, Master Lou calmed down a little, thought for a moment and then said to everyone: "Everyone is on standby, and I will go to the county lieutenant to explain the situation." After speaking, he said to Zhang Shumo: "You go home first, see if Zaiying is back, if you are at home, come and inform me." If Jaeyoung hasn't come home yet, you'll be waiting for my news at home! After speaking, Master Lou got on his horse and galloped towards the county governor's mansion.

Zhang Shumo also hurriedly got into the carriage, and before he set off, Lou Yin walked out of the ranks of soldiers: "Zhang Shumo, Lou Zaiying really didn't go home?" ”
