Chapter 55: Take-up

Before nightfall, a heavy fog gathered from all over the mountains, hiding everything.

A little later, Zhu Chenghu and others, who fell behind the pressure formation, touched over, met with Chen Ji in the shade, and after a brief exchange of opinions, Chen Ji took Zhu Chenghu's team back again. It is inevitable to be complained about on the way.

Chen Ji also explained with a smile: "These people under your command are all members of the house, so you can rest assured to use them."

Saying this, it instinctively makes people think a lot more about the situation after that. Zhu Chenghu was not a little worried, not that he was afraid that something would happen to him, but in fact, he was worried about Chen Ji, the son of the general judgment mansion. Now everyone is tied to the same boat, Chen Ji Dan Whenever something happens, where are these "righteous gentlemen" who are the opponents of those hungry wolves in Qingzhou City, they are afraid that they will be eaten to the point that there will be no bones left.

After asking a few words at the moment, Chen Ji was hesitant, but he was unwilling to say more than half a word. Zhu Chenghu had no choice but to suppress his nervousness and follow behind Chen Ji calmly.

……

As the night deepened, a light rain fell, and a group of people walking on the official road stopped and stopped, occasionally hearing the sound of chattering teeth.

Outside Pingshan Town, Xu Guogong's guard of honor finally arrived, but the escort seemed to be less, even if the vanguard cavalry team that had already rested in Pingshan was added. Puzzled, the rider next to him turned him on his elbow and signaled that it was time for him to come forward to greet him.

Xu Guogong got down from the carriage, said a few words to the Yicheng who greeted him, and walked to the town. I only hope that those guys don't want to make any moths, and under my mind, there are also a lot of complaints, why don't I talk to him in advance, I have to do business at this juncture.

……

A mile away from Pingshan Town, in front of the continuous manor, the two sides were tense, and the transaction had been successfully concluded earlier, but neither the buyer nor the seller seemed to be satisfied. For buyers, the share promised in advance is not one-third, and in the eyes of the seller, because of "a certain sentence of the owner behind it", it is natural to look at the other party unpleasantly.

Seeing that it was about to become popular, the seller seemed to feel that the current situation was not conducive to him, and snorted coldly: "This time is just a reminder that if Mr. Zhang wants to stay in Qingzhou for a long time, sometimes he must abide by the rules."

"Rules?" The other side sneered and grabbed the reins, "I, Zhang Luan, have never been a person who can abide by the rules. ”

The big eyes stared at the small eyes, but no one really pulled out the knife and stepped forward.

The seller's boss clenched his fists and said, "Goodbye."

Zhang Luan didn't want to stay any longer, there were many doubts about this transaction itself, and he didn't waste time at the moment, so he ordered someone to come forward to receive the materials and set off to return.

Not long after seeing Zhang Luan and his entourage leave, the sellers who stayed in place also withdrew to the forest next to them, and naturally couldn't help but glance at the big mansion not far away before leaving.

Entering the forest, the leader removed the mask on his face and instructed the people around him: "Everyone disperse first, and continue to do things according to the instructions from above......"

Babbled for a while, a little abnormal. But everyone behind him are colleagues who have been doing things for many years, and they have usually seen several ruthless shots from the leader in front of them, no matter how much they are in awe, no one will object. So the people dispersed, and the young leader left the woods again and went on the official road.

……

Pingshan Town, after a short dog barking, everything fell silent, and Zhang Luan's group who was passing by probably suddenly became angry, or wanted to give the "big guy behind the back" a little color, and allocated a team of more than ten people to sweep from the town.

In a few moments, the town was lit with fire.

Zhang Luan, who had already walked a distance, glanced back with interest and set off again, and then a string of torches extended from the official road in front of him.

Zhang Luan's eyelids trembled, and he turned his head and shouted to his subordinates: "All enter the forest......"

The sound of the long knife coming out of its sheath was endless, and the fire points were connected in series, and a condensed killing intent pressed over.

……

When Chen Ji "rushed over", the battle situation had ended, and the knife-wielding soldiers with torches were cleaning the battlefield. Chen Ji was calm, and took out a few items that could prove his identity, of course, the scholar's Xiucai identity post. The other party also believed it, and after a few more interrogations, it had turned into a reminder: "Bandits are rampant in the neighborhood, so don't wander outside, especially at this time."

Chen Ji nodded, patted the horse a few words, "The military master is hard", gave Zhu Chenghu a look, and the group turned towards the Pingshan Town.

Estimating that the speech would no longer be heard by those soldiers, Zhu Chenghu's face turned white, and he said in a trembling voice: "But it's all the border army system, Young Master Chen, you will die."

Chen Ji nodded, his face was solemn, and he was also a little apprehensive.

Zhu Chenghu took a few breaths, calmed down, and asked, "What are we going to do next?"

Chen Ji stopped and sighed: "Of course it's to raise food."

"How?"

"Early tomorrow morning, I'll go and beg those military masters."

Zhu Chenghu was speechless, his throat moved and moved, and he said helplessly: "Can I not know you?"

Chen Ji looked back, "What do you say?" ”

……

Pingshan Station, before dawn, there was already a commotion outside the door, Xu Guogong got up very early, was listening to the subordinate officer's summary of last night's battle, and would ask a few words from time to time. On the other hand, I occasionally chatted with the pioneer rider who took the lead to talk about Pingshan Station. Between the idle, it is also pleasant.

Putting aside his identity, not to mention his military exploits, the rich old man on the chair in front of him stomped his feet, and most of the Jokhang court was going to tremble. This time he was appointed to supervise the disaster relief affairs, which is enough to show the weight of the old man in the eyes of today. The old man went straight to Henan from the north to Henan, and then to Shandong, and the number of severed heads was already two hands......

At first glance, when he heard the noise outside, the old man's eyelids were raised, and the young rider respectfully retreated, came back from time to time, and said to the old man: "Boss, it is the son of Qingzhou who is out asking to see him!"

"Oh?" The old man squinted, according to his identity, a prince of the general judgment mansion was not so qualified to see him, and the current situation was actually a bit interesting.

"Go out and have a look, the old man will be gone."

The young rider nodded, and stepped back again.

The old man got up, paced a few steps, took out a booklet, muttered a few words, and ordered: "In half an hour, we will go to Qingzhou Mansion."

……

Zhu Chenghu had asked Chen Ji more than once before how to see the old man, and Chen Ji mysteriously left a sentence "Mountain people have their own clever plans". Zhu Chenghu couldn't fall asleep one night, and woke up restless early this morning, and was dragged by Chen Ji to "block the door" with a panda eye.
