If Xu Zizhen was here, he would be very surprised, since the last time he saw Pingyang Mansion it was only a few dozen days, Wang Hao had become a lot haggard, his sideburns were full of gray hair, and even the wrinkles were a lot more horizontal, as if he was more than ten years old.

He was not surprised when he heard the news, but raised his eyelids and asked lightly, "Who wants to collect the book...... My life? Where did the news come from? ”

The housekeeper said: "I heard that it was the righteous bandits on Hebei Road who would set up an ambush under the abduction mountain outside Chenliu City, and the Jingxi pacification envoy Min inadvertently found out the news, and sent someone to inform the villain early in the morning." ”

Wang Hao raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Hebei Road bandits? This is impossible. ”

The housekeeper cautiously asked, "Master, should Lord Min ......?"

Wang Hao waved his hand: "Min Xian'an will not dare to deceive me, I don't know who has had a holiday with me, and I am afraid that I will show my wind afterwards, so I just pretend to be famous." ”

"Yes, yes, my lord." The butler was submissive, and then asked in a low voice, "What does the old man think...... Ignore it? ”

A touch of helplessness flashed on Wang Hao's face, and he sighed lightly: "That's it, let's change the route, after leaving Beijing early tomorrow morning, I will go west, and turn from Henan Mansion to the waterway...... Xu Zizhen said that day that the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, but I didn't expect it to be bullied on my head today. ”

"Yes, sir." The housekeeper's eyes also floated a little sad, he had followed the master for so many years, but he didn't expect to fall so far in the blink of an eye, and even the thieves had to take a detour to avoid it.

The housekeeper retreated, and the courtyard returned to a deathly silence, Wang Hao naturally did not know that there had always been a figure hiding on the roof, and after the housekeeper retreated, the black shadow also moved, like a ghost, silently flashing in the darkness for a few moments before disappearing.

……

It's late at night, this is an inconspicuous house in Bianjing City, there are two people sitting opposite each other in a room in the backyard drinking, there is a young man and a big man next to him, there are more than a dozen empty wine jugs on the table, but the eyes of these two people are still very bright, and there is no drunkenness.

"Brother Wang, there won't be any problem with passing on the news to that Min, right?"

"There are many people in the rivers and lakes in Min Xian'an's mansion who act as guests, and it is not difficult to spread some news to him, and he has a friendship with Wang Hao in the same year, so it is the most suitable choice for him to report the news."

These two people are Xu Zizhen and Bianjing Jiuye Wang Zhongfu, from the evening to the present, they have drunk for a few hours, and they have chatted for a few hours, Bao'er next to him is young, and he can't help but yawn for a while, and Ma San beside him is also a little unbearable, and he stretches out his hand to rub his face from time to time.

Wang Zhongfu raised his eyebrows suddenly, but he didn't make any moves, the window was pushed open suddenly, and a black shadow flashed in, and came to Xu Zizhen and knelt on one knee, it was Luo Ji, the leader of the Tianji Battalion that Yongye gave to Xu Zizhen.

Xu Zizhen didn't wait for him to speak, he reached out and pulled him up: "They all said don't kneel here with me...... How's that, did the old thief scare pee? ”

There was also a rare hint of a smile on Luo Ji's eternal dead face: "No, but the old thief has decided to change his route, and after leaving Beijing tomorrow morning, he will go west, and then change the waterway to the south after going to Henan Mansion." ”

He repeated the conversation between Wang Hao and the housekeeper word for word, and a fine light flashed in Xu Zizhen's eyes: "Hey! Impossible? There are indeed traitors in the Hebei Road Righteous Army, and they have a connection with the old thief, otherwise how could he be so sure? ”

Wang Zhongfu also frowned, nodded and said, "It seems that Brother Xu, what you expected is not bad." ”

Xu Zizhen sneered a few times, and suddenly asked, "Brother Wang, there are mountains in Henan Mansion, right?" ”

Wang Zhongfu already understood, and said with a smile: "Naturally, there is." ”

Xu Zizhen slapped his face and stood up: "Okay!" Brother Wang, can you drive me on a business trip? ”

"On a business trip?" Wang Zhongfu was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "Go with Brother Xu to take that old dog's life, this is a beautiful difference, why do you say it?" ”

Xu Zizhen grinned toothy and patted Luo Ji on the shoulder: "Go and tell Governor Nie as well, I'm afraid he is already in a hurry." ”

"Yes, master." Rogie answered, and his figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

……

The autumn in Henan is very cold, the west wind is like a gust of tight, the coachman was blown to shrink his neck, glanced at the road ahead, turned back to the carriage and said: "Master, after a while, I will go around the mountain road, I am afraid that there will be some bumps, you can sit safely." ”

The curtain moved, revealing the face of Steward Wang, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you want to enter the mountain? Is there no other way? ”

The coachman smiled and said, "Yes, yes, but sir, you have to take the waterway early, if you don't take the mountain road, you have to go far, I'm afraid you have to walk for more than half a day, and when you get on the boat, you will be afraid of tomorrow." ”

Steward Wang frowned, and when he was about to speak, he heard Wang Hao's voice behind him: "Then let's take the mountain road, delay more time and cause more trouble." ”

"Yes, sir!" Steward Wang had no choice but to answer, waved his hand to the coachman, and said no more.

The sound of the car is resounding, turning into a quiet mountain road, this is outside the city of Henan Province, the mountain is not very high, the mountain road is not long, from here through less than two hours is the waterway, the coachman chooses this road is also reasonable, because this mountain has never had any beasts, very comfortable, many pedestrians coming and going north and south will go here for convenience.

Wang Hao closed his eyes slightly, feeling the bumpy body, he was too tired these days, not physically tired, but tired, he had offended many people in a high position for a long time, and now I don't know how many people will come to fall into the ground, this so-called assassination can't get out of the relationship, what a righteous bandit, hum, cheating, hiding his head and showing his tail!

Suddenly, the horse pulling the cart neighed violently, and then the body stopped violently, Wang Hao's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and his heart sank instantly.

The coachman jumped out of the car crying and shouted: "The king spares his life, the villain is just a hard eater, beg the grandfather to let the villain go!" ”

An impatient voice sounded outside the car: "What are you crying about?" The old man is asking for money, how much money can you give? Don't get out of here! ”

The butler had already turned pale with fright, and his whole body trembled like chaff, but he barely picked up a knife, and without even taking off the sheath, he faced the curtain like this, and said upside down: "Bandits, there are bandits here?" Don't come here, don't come here......"

Wang Hao and his entourage have a total of three cars, he is the first one, in the middle is the mother-in-law of the family, the former Mrs. Command, and the last one is a few long-term entourage and his property and savings over the years, the corners of Wang Hao's eyes twitched, he didn't believe that he would meet a bandit so coincidentally in broad daylight, and didn't the coachman say, there are people walking around on this road all year round, how can there be bandits?

Without waiting for him to think about it, the curtain of the car was torn open violently, and he saw more than 20 people standing outside the car at some point, all of them holding steel knives in black scarves, and the snowy blades were shining in the noon sun, and a chill suddenly rose in Wang Hao's heart.

This is by no means the bandits, they are holding knives...... Isn't this the thin-bladed Yanling fast knife in the yamen?
