Since that day he fought with the Jurchens in Alum Tower and wrote "Man Jianghong", Gu Haotian has not been to Alum Tower for more than 20 days, during which he did not catch up with the premiere of "Yanqiu".

Tonight, according to Xu Guanzhong's meaning, he asked Gu Haotian to show his face in public and create a false image. Of course, this occasion is the most suitable for Alum Tower, and I haven't met Chai Wenbo, Zhang Jiucheng and others for many days, so I just took this opportunity to get together. So, Gu Haotian sent a letter to the two of them, and made an appointment to meet at the alum tower at the beginning of tonight.

Unconsciously, when the time came, several carriages came one after another in a small set next to the official road in the north of Tokyo, and they were leaning on a tea beach in the middle of the set, as if waiting for something.

In the small tea beach, a man in his thirties who looked like a shopkeeper sat at the tea table, drinking a bowl of weak tea absentmindedly, and his eyes looked around from time to time. About half a pillar of incense had passed, a thin man hurriedly walked over and sat down on the side.

"The shopkeeper's shipment will be shipped on time, and it will be delivered to the old place and you at dusk, so you just have to wait with peace of mind. Here's the list of goods, you can keep it. ”

The skinny man took a sip of tea before he spoke, and then handed over a note.

"That's very good, I'll just take it."

The shopkeeper took the order, the two exchanged pleasantries, and the thin man took his leave. The shopkeeper also got up and settled the account, and when he came to a carriage, he said to a man:

"The goods are almost here, pick them up."

The man answered, and immediately drove the carriage forward, and after that, several carriages around the tea beach also drove along as if they had received some signal.

Chen Qiao, in the original history, Zhao Kuangyin, the general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, added himself in this yellow robe, changed the Zhou Song Dynasty, and created a three-hundred-year foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, and the history is famous. In this era, although there is no such plot, it is located north of Tokyo, and it is an important intersection from the north to Beijing, and it is also very prosperous.

Xu Guanzhong, who was dressed as a shopkeeper, was sitting in the carriage at the moment, carefully looking at the note sent by Shi Qian, and there were three big men sitting around him, Sun An, Li Kui, and the other was Han Shizhong. Sun An didn't go back to the city last night, so he went directly to the house in the east of the city. In the afternoon, when Xu Guanzhong went to the east of the city to deploy the operation, Han Shizhong heard that he was going to fight the Jurchens, so he had to follow. Li Kui has been very close to other places in the past two days, and he also helped to speak. And Xu Guanzhong also knew Gu Haotian's thoughts, and he also had the intention of pulling him into the gang, so he came together.

"According to the news of the relocation of the brothers, the Jurchens do not live in the town, but in the north of the city, a place called He Village. The number of people is not more than 20 people before, but more than 40 people, nearly twice as much. We must be careful not to fight a snake and get bitten by a snake. Xu Guanzhong said to the three of them.

"Yesterday I have already fought with the Jurchens, as long as they don't let their cavalry run, they will have no way to survive in front of our horizontal swords, otherwise, even if we can win, it will be a miserable victory."

Sun An was the only one of the three who had fought with the Jurchens, and he had the most right to speak, so he spoke first.

"Try to avoid unnecessary casualties, yesterday's loss is enough for everyone to be sad, scatter the brothers and settle down, let's go to the scene to see first."

Xu Guanzhong asked Li Kui and Han Shizhong to stay and lead the team, and he and Sun An drove the carriage straight to the north of Chen Bridge.

He Village is located on the side of the official road north of Chenqiao, with only 40 or 50 households, a dirt road in the middle, and most of the low adobe houses on both sides. Xu Guanzhong and the two used the excuse of visiting friends, and the carriage completed the village road in just a moment.

"If the Jurchens really want to hide here, there is only the house on the right side of the middle of the road, and the others are small earthen houses, and there are not many people living there."

Shi Qian's letter was not in the specific address, and after Sun An looked around, he had his own judgment.

"What Brother Sun An said is reasonable, but you can rest assured if you find a local person to investigate."

Xu Guanzhong also felt that there were only some like this, but he was not at ease. Saying that the carriage went around the village, an old farmer happened to come in front of him, and after inquiring, he said that this house had just been bought by a person surnamed Zeng from Lingzhou three or four months ago, and the two of them knew that there was no doubt about it here.

Soon it was nearly dusk, and a large group of merchants came to Chenqiao Town, dozens of horses and several carriages hurried through the streets.

And not long after, Gu Haotian was also in the alum building, and he got together with Chai Wenbo, Zhang Jiucheng and others.

"Haotian is finally empty, but I can't make an appointment several times!"

Chai Wenbo really made an appointment a few times to thank him for rescuing Yurong. Gu Haotian also felt that he couldn't get by, so he said:

"I really can't get out of the next few days, here I will compensate the king of the county first, and everyone will be happy tonight."

"Who is the east! but do not call people to come over for good things. ”

With a pleasant voice, I saw Master Li and Qian'er come in from outside the door, she went straight to Gu Haotian's side and sat down generously, and then opened her mouth to denounce.

"Gu Langjun shouldn't have written a script, but he left it alone, and the slave family acted in fear, so he didn't dare to act again, and told me how to compensate me."

"This is Haotian's mistake, how can there be a beginning and no end to doing things, I am waiting for "Yanqiu" to be staged again."

Chai Wenbo's joke caused everyone to laugh. Since several people haven't seen each other for a while, and there is Master Li, the head of the line, here, everyone talked happily.

Zhang Jicheng touched the scene and sighed: "It's a pity that Brother Zhao Ding is not there? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and Gu Haotian asked, "When is the palace test?" ”

"It was three days later, on March 18, and the reenactment of "Yanqiu" here in the slave family was also chosen on this night." Master Li replied.

"King Cheshire, after the palace tried, the dust will settle today, and then the king of the county will come out to sell face, it should be feasible."

Zhao Ding's imprisonment involved the imperial examination, so what Gu Haotian said was more vague, but Chai Wenbo also understood it, so he said that he should do his best.

A few chatted and laughed but didn't realize that the sky was already dark, Gu Haotian estimated that it was about seven or eight o'clock in the night of the next generation, and couldn't help but worry about those people in Chenqiao Town.

Let's say that in Chenqiao Town, not long after the Jurchen people passed, Shi Qian found Xu Guanzhong and others. Intelligence from both sides also confirmed that the Jurchens lived in the big family in Hezhuang. The five gathered in the room for a while, and finally decided to go in in the middle of the night and settle the battle in the courtyard, so as not to cause trouble.

But in terms of the time of attack, Xu Guanzhong originally set the second half of the night, just taking advantage of the sleeping people to attack. Li Kui had an objection, he said that it was very different from killing pigs, there was a horizontal knife battalion, they came to fight with the Jurchen cavalry, and at worst they had to get a few live to try the blade, and strongly asked Yu Hai Shizhong to attack when they were not sleeping, and drive the Jurchens to the front yard by the horizontal knife battalion to slowly clean up, so that the brothers below could be hidden.

Sun An also helped, saying that there were only forty or fifty Jurchens, but we had eighty people, and besides, it was a sudden night attack, as long as we controlled the horses first, we would not lose.

"Brother Shi Qian, where is the stable in the yard?" Xu Guanzhong did not respond to Li Kui's words, but asked Shi Qian about this issue.

"Probably for the convenience of travel, the stables are set up on both sides of the front yard."

"That's good, the Jurchens are attacked, and they will go to find the war horses as soon as possible, and then Sun An and Li Kui brothers will each take twenty people to line up in front of the horse sheds on both sides, and the Shi Qian brothers will take ten people to patrol outside the courtyard, and I and Brother Han will take thirty people to attack in the backyard to create chaos, and drive the Jurchens forward to fulfill you."

Soon it was the middle of the month, and the moon was just right that night. The brigade set out from all over the place, and after half an hour, it was convenient to assemble at the designated place outside Hezhuang. Shi Qian and Sun An took a few team members to fight the front station first, and soon touched the courtyard, because they had just moved to a new location, it is no wonder that these Jurchens were careless, and they did not set up a sentry.

Shi Qian turned into the courtyard and solved a sleepy porter, and after a while, the men from outside immediately arrived, and the people from all walks of life began to split up as planned.

At the end of the day, most of the Jurchens who had been tired for a day had gone to bed and slept peacefully, and the rest were ready to rest. At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion in the backyard, and then screams and screams came. Those Jurchens who had not yet fallen asleep were alarmed, and immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed to the stable.

"Straight sissy thief! In the end, the smell of blood that Huya smelled, and the time had come for the brothers to avenge the brothers of the Guards' Battalion, and they all cheered me up. ”

Li Kui looked at the Jurchens who kept pouring out, like a blood-devouring beast, he opened his eyes and shouted viciously:

"Up! Chop! ”

In an instant, dozens of cold lights flashed, and a piece of broken corpses suddenly fell in front of them, and the Jurchens were stunned by the sudden attack, but before they could come back to their senses, another command sounded in front of them.

"Progress, up! Chop! ”

In an instant, another group of people fell. At this time, some Jurchens who had participated in yesterday's interception suddenly remembered the scene at that time, and shouted in panic:

"It was yesterday that kid's man took revenge, run away."

However, they were able to escape there, and at this time, the heart-pounding voice sounded behind them.

"Up! Chop! ”

I don't know who shouted, "Hurry up and grab the horse and report to the prince that he knows!" Suddenly, the Jurchens rushed forward like a tide.

Although Li Kui and the others couldn't understand what the Jurchens were shouting, as long as they dared to rush forward, it would be exactly what he wanted. Under his command, the Hengdao battalion brought out the level of training on the mountain for several months, only to see the two platoons of soldiers advancing alternately, the blades swept away layer by layer like waves, but the Jurchens were killed all over the ground.

Under the attack from the front and back, more than 40 Jurchens were quickly killed. Due to the lack of armor protection, many members of the Horizontal Knife Battalion were injured by the thrown weapons, and several of them were seriously injured by heavy weapons such as maces, but none of them died.

Xu Guanzhong immediately led people to search the yard, not wanting that this den also had a lot of valuable things, and they didn't have time to clean it up, so they packed the gold, silver and jewelry, as well as some correspondence, packed them together, piggybacked on the dozens of horses, and quickly retreated.

In the middle of the night, a raging fire broke out in the compound in Hezhuang, and it was not until dawn that the villagers who had been frightened all night hurriedly went to report to the official.

Let's say that in the alum building, Gu Haotian was very happy tonight, and he didn't even say the end when he arrived. Seeing that it was unusual, Master Li didn't know what to think, and he was also extraordinarily attentive. It wasn't until after midnight that Bian Xiang came in and said to Gu Haotian that the time was almost up. Then he stood up full of wine, and said to the people with his glass:

"It's so good tonight, let's have another drink!"

After saying that, he went head-on, and then said vaguely "Brother let's go" or something, and then lay on Bian Xiang's shoulder and got drunk.
