Bai Dunyi pressed the convoy and walked slowly and leisurely, walking and resting along the way, not nervous at all.

He felt that in the territory of Yiyuan, there were more than 20 heavily armed horseback riders escorting the car, and no blind thief dared to touch the tiger's buttocks.

In fact, just as he thought, the road was safe, and they arrived at Laiwu County before sunset on the third day.

Opposite the county government in Laiwu County, there is a Huo's mountain goods store and a Huo's grocery store side by side.

Looking at the convoy with the Bai family's flag, the guys from Huo's mountain goods store came up from afar, led Young Master Bai's horse, led the convoy, and went around the side door of the mountain goods store along the laneway on the side of the store.

After entering the mountain goods store, Bai Dunyi explained to Bai Dunyi, and left the mountain goods store with a few henchmen, and went straight to the east of the county to have fun.

During the Song and Jin dynasties, there was an advantage, that is, there was no curfew at night, and it was very lively at night.

Bai Dunyi hung out in Washi until late at night, and finally rested in the Goolan courtyard in Washizi.

One night was ridiculous, and Young Master Bai didn't get up until three poles on the second day.

It wasn't until after noon that he took his generals out of the east gate of the county seat and rushed towards Huojiazhuang.

Huojiazhuang is on the plain southeast of Laiwu County.

There is more than one Zhuangzi under the name of the Huo family, there are Laozhuang, Xinzhuang, Nanzhuang, and three Zhuangzi, which are distributed in the shape of a character.

Among them, Nanzhuang is the main residence.

Huojia Nanzhuang is located in the southeast of the county, about 20 miles away.

Without the delay of the convoy, Bai Dunyi took his family to travel all the way, and arrived at Huojia Nanzhuang in more than an hour.

Zhuang Ding of Huojia Nanzhuang was very familiar with Bai Dunyi, the young master, so he put down the suspension bridge in front of the door for him and let him into Zhuangzi.

The area of Huojia Nanzhuang is smaller than that of East Zhuangzi, but the population is larger than that of East Zhuangzi, and the Huo Mansion, located in the center of Zhuangzi, is more than twice as spacious as the Bai family compound in East Zhuangzi.

The earthen enclosure outside Huojiananzhuang is only a dirt enclosure more than one zhang high, but the enclosure of Huofu is a blue brick city wall with two lengths and heights, like a castle.

Everyone dismounted in front of the gate of Huofu, handed over the horses to the next person, Bai Dunyi took the servant from the ear door into the Huo Mansion, the family will naturally have a subordinate to entertain, Bai Dunyi first went to meet the old lady of Huofu, that is, his grandmother.

kowtowed to the old lady and asked for a reward, and Bai Dunyi went to meet Huo Yuanwai.

Huo Yuanwai Huo Yi, in his early forties, is of medium stature, burly, with a dark face, upright facial features, sitting upright like a clock, and still retains a strong military atmosphere on his body.

Huo Yi read Bai Yuanwai's letter, was silent for a moment, but did not express his position, only asked Bai Dunyi some household habits and sent him out.

Bai Dunyi stayed at Huo's house for three days, and when he left, Huo Yuanwai handed over a letter to Bai Dunyi.

When the Bai family caravan returned, there were five more carts in the team, and there were more than a dozen generals escorting the car.

The return journey was also a safe journey, and I arrived at Xizhuangzi smoothly.

The caravan had been sharpened in West Zhuangzi, and out of the city gate of the suit, two fast horses suddenly separated from the convoy and galloped towards East Zhuangzi.

In the afternoon, the convoy passed through the woods between Dongzhuangzi and the suit, and came to the west exit of the woods. "Second young master, it's me, Bai Tong, the master asked me to pick up the heroes sent by Master Huo."

Bai Dunyi waved his hand, causing several overreacted generals to put away their unsheathed swords.

Bai Tong is the deputy manager of the Bai family who is responsible for dealing with the mountain people and collecting mountain goods, and he is quite clever, and he is very close to Bai Dunyi, who is responsible for buying and selling the Bai family, on weekdays.

When Bai Tong approached, Bai Dunyi asked, "What does my father command?" ”

"Second young master, the master instructed me to take all the heroes of the Huo family from the forest to the south of Zhuangzi first, and when it gets dark, then take all the heroes from the south gate of Zhuangzi into the village, enter the Zhuangzi, rest in the small house for half the night, and then start to take down the second Chen Er."

When Bai Dunyi heard this, he said to a burly general beside him: "Liu Dangjia, then bother the brothers to work hard, then the Yang family is keeping an eye on our Bai family's generals, you go back with us, eighty percent will be discovered, you will follow Bai Tong to drill the forest for a while, and when tomorrow is done, I will entertain you with good wine and good food." ”

It turned out that the more than a dozen guards in the caravan were all sent by Master Huo to help at the request of Master Bai.

These more than ten people are headed by this surnamed Liu.

Bai Dunyi also knew that the surname Liu was not the general of the Huo family, but the Jiangyang thief that Master Huo found from Liu Erzu, the giant of Mengshan, and he was the best at breaking people's houses in the middle of the night.

I don't know why, walking with this thief surnamed Liu, Bai Dunyi always felt a chill on his back, his heart was frightened, and he was inexplicably flustered when he saw the other party's eyes.

Liu Dangjia glanced at Bai Tong and nodded, but his cloudy eyes made Bai Tong feel dazzling, and he hurriedly avoided the touch of his eyes.

After Young Master Bai instructed his subordinates to leave enough dry food for these people, he hurriedly took the convoy on the road again.

……

In the evening, the White House, the white staff outside the study.

After reading Huo Yuanwai's letter, Bai Yuanwai slowly put it down, walked to the window and looked at a small bamboo forest outside the window, and was silent for a long time.

After pondering for a long time, he said to Bai Dunyi: "What to do, I have already instructed Bai Tong and Bai Zhi who guards the south gate, in order to prevent the Yang family dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, I recruited a Zhuang Ding into the mansion, and your generals will not disperse, they have stayed in the mansion for the past two days, and they have to worry about defense." ”

"Also, after those people from your uncle's family succeed, they will bring Chen Er to the mansion, you will arrange it, and you will also handle the interrogation of Chen Er."

After speaking, Bai Yuan waved his hand and asked Bai Dunyi to go down and prepare.

Although he didn't understand why everything was going well, his father had a sad face, but Bai Dunyi didn't dare to ask more, and after bowing, he turned around and walked towards the door.

He had just walked out of the door when his father's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Go and invite Mr. Zhao." ”

This was not said to Bai Dunyi, he was ordering the subordinates who were waiting at the door, from his father's faint voice, Bai Dunyi heard the heaviness, he didn't dare to stay longer, and left quickly with a full heart.

Not long after, Zhao Qufei followed behind Bai Yuanwai's personal servant and came to the door of the study.

The little guy pushed the door and was about to make a report, but Bai Yuanwai spoke first: "Please Mr. Zhao come in." ”

The little guy hurriedly retracted his head and bowed to Zhao Qufei and made a gesture to invite in.

Zhao Qufei walked into the study, and the little servant closed the door behind him.

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, Bai Yuanwai turned around, pointed to the letter on the table, and said to Zhao Qufei: "Huo Yi's letter, you take a look first." ”

Zhao Qufei was not polite, picked up the letter and read it carefully.

After reading the letter, the subtle expression of confidence and slight reserve that Zhao Qufei had been hanging on his face had disappeared, and was replaced by a cautious expression.
