Wu Dehou came today, obviously not only to repair the barrel, but also to deal with more urgent matters. For example, he is still carrying a bag of dry goods in his hand, and the aroma is very shocking.

"It's so fragrant," Zhao Zilong couldn't help but sniff, "This master, in your bag, is it authentic Sichuan peppercorns?" ”

"Exactly," Wu Dehou heard and became happy, "My peppercorns are all picked from Pi County, two hundred miles west of Chengdu. This big brother, you really have good eyesight. ”

"My wife," Zhao Zilong circled, "it's my mother who has been weak recently, and she must drink bird chicken soup." ”

"It's best to put peppercorns in the black chicken soup!" When Wu Dehou heard about his profession, he immediately became happy, "Okay, the peppercorns I have here were originally going to be taken back for the store." I'll buy it for you later. ”

"Thank you, master," Zhao Zilong saw that Wu Dehou didn't know himself under the sunglasses and hat, and his heart was also a lot more peaceful.

When delivering peppercorns, Zhao Zilong deliberately gave more money and asked Wu Dehou to find it. Where would the latter have so much change, so the two of them came to a secluded place.

"Master Wu," Zhao Zilong saw that there was no one around, so he spoke, "I haven't seen you for a long time, have you found Ling Gongzi in Xuzhou?" ”

He knew that the last time he went to Xuzhou, Wu Dehou was not only to cook for the army, but also to find his son Wu Dun.

"Hey, it's you?" Wu Dehou recognized Zhao Zilong at this time, and then he shook his head, "I found it, but I was already injured." ”

As soon as Zhao Zilong heard that the other party said that it was just a traumatic injury, he nodded and said: "Bloody on the front line, where is there anyone who is not injured." ”

"Yes," Wu Dehou also nodded, and then asked: "Zhuangshi, you also have a mission to return to Nanjing this time, right?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Zilong nodded slightly.

When Wu Dehou heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and couldn't help but say with some excitement: "My old man is also responsible for the task when he comes back this time!" ”

"Shh

As soon as Zhao Zilong saw that the other party's voice was a little loud, he immediately put his finger to his mouth, prompted the other party not to speak, and then sensed the surroundings.

Wu Dehou's face changed, and he quickly covered his mouth and looked around.

"No one." After Zhao Zilong found that there was no one else, he said: "Brother Wu, I want to inquire about the whereabouts of a person so that I can take the next step, can you help me inquire?" ”

"No problem, it's not convenient to talk here, come with me."

Wu Dehou didn't ask anyone, just nodded, then threw the wooden barrel in front of Zhang's shop, and walked out with Zhao Zilong.

After turning a few small streets and alleys, they came to a place where fish and dragons were mixed.

Confucius Temple, the place where incense was at its peak before. Now, it is a wolf, and it can even be said that it is a place where wolves run wildly.

Wu Dehou took Zhao Zilong to a spice shop, and the boss looked like his acquaintance.

Nodding slightly at the boss, Wu Dehou didn't speak, and directly led Zhao Zilong into the back of the store.

There was a pug on a leash behind him, and when he saw them, he barked wildly. Zhao Zilong raised his foot, revealing the iron plate on the soles of his feet.

Stamped on the ground again, and the dinging sound scared the pug away at once.

When the two of them saw it, they couldn't help but smile.

Wu Dehou said: "It seems that dogs can't bark, and dogs can't bark." ”

Zhao Zilong knew the meaning of what the other party said, and now the people on the road are calling Wang Jing fake as a dog.

"Yes," Zhao Zilong nodded and agreed, "How many days can a dog bark, and it's not the minced meat on someone's chopping board?" ”

The two of them smiled sheepishly again.

After all, this is the city of Nanjing, and it is a occupied area. It is better to be more restrained in speaking and doing things.

"Long Zhuangshi," Wu Dehou looked at Zhao Zilong and asked, "Who do you want me to inquire about?" ”

"It's the shop we went to just now, his owner, Old Man Zhang." Zhao Zilong said: "Didn't you listen to his guys so arrogant? ”

"What's wrong?" Wu Dehou was stunned and asked with some confusion: "What's wrong with that guy?" It's always been like that. ”

"It's different now," Zhao Zilong's face sank, "Now the owner of that house has changed to the surname Dog Barking." ”

"Huh?" Wu Dehou's eyes widened, and he said a little suddenly: "No wonder his guy said that now the master has gone to do big business, and he has become a traitor!" ”

Then, he made a slaughtering action, Zhao Zilong looked at it carefully, it was a dog killing action, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Wu Dehou said: "Okay, Long Zhuangshi, about the matter of Old Man Zhang, you can wrap it up on me." We'll meet here tonight, if it's convenient, and I'll tell you the whole story. ”

"Okay, please." Zhao Zilong clenched his fists with both hands and left.

Of course, he didn't accept Wu Dehou's peppercorns, he went to Nanjing City to walk around.

It's just that devils are everywhere, and you can't even go to the bustling downtown area of Xinjiekou. Zhao Zilong had no choice but to go to a big smoke house.

This kind of thing was explicitly forbidden before the government moved away, but now that the Japanese devils have come, they have used everything in order to raise taxes.

Zhao Zilong did not eat cigarettes, but chose a hearty lunch. He ate to the end, and called an old smoker to inquire about the matter.

The old smoker is already unable to make ends meet, and if anyone rewards him with a soak of tobacco ointment, he is even psychologically prepared for the death of others.

Zhao Zilong inquired about the recent situation of Wang Jing's puppet government. It turned out that Wang Jingpseudo was also going to make a ceremony in Nanjing.

Zhao Zilong stayed until it was dark before returning to the street of Confucius Temple. On the south side of that street is the famous "Wuyi Lane" written by the poet Liu Yuxi.

Wu Dehou appeared in a simple horse coat, and as soon as he appeared, he called the police: "Long Zhuangshi, there seem to be two unknown people following behind me." ”

"Two dogs?" Zhao Zilong was stunned and asked rhetorically.

"I guess so." Wu Dehou was still a little frightened in his heart, and he nodded and replied: "They have been quietly following me since I left the hotel. ”

"Didn't you get rid of it?" Zhao Zilong asked. If he had been followed, he would have easily and happily flicked his tail off.

"I can't get rid of it." Wu Dehou shook his head, and as he spoke, he kept looking behind him. It's just that it was dark at this time, and the two of them couldn't see anything.

Wu Dehou said: "They always show up at my next intersection. ”

"Don't be afraid." Zhao Zilong's brows tightened, and after he looked around, he pulled Wu Dehou into the alley.

Over the next minute, they swapped clothes.

It's just that when Zhao Zilong saw that Wu Dehou's steps were a little deformed, he couldn't help asking, "Do you have an outer eight characters?" ”

"Yes, I got it when I was a kid on horseback," Wu Dehou nodded with a slightly red face. And his current outfit is a little strange, and the top hat on his body is undoubtedly bigger.

Zhao Zilong's body was naturally a little cramped, but he deliberately shortened his body, which was a lot more suitable.

"You wait here, I'll take a look."

After Zhao Zilong explained, he walked towards the road where Wu Dehou came.
