Before going to bed, Xiang Bo's answer to the question made Zhu Da suddenly enlightened, he understood what Qin Xiucai wanted to do, and the other party wanted to entrap him.

Telling and confessing your past and feelings to people you meet for the first time is indeed a good way to get closer to each other, and there is not much difference from the essence of "undressing and pushing food" in the book, Zhu Da just wondered what is good about himself, worthy of the other party's attention.

However, Xiang Bo made a few inexplicable actions at the banquet at the time, which can be understood now, whether it was to agree to Qin Xiucai's invitation or to let Zhou Qingyun stay and listen, it was to provide a better opportunity for himself and Zhou Qingyun.

After knowing the identity of this Qin Xiucai, Xiang Bo naturally understood that the other party's status was high, not to mention his strength or something, but the master-apprentice relationship was not a trivial matter that could be ambiguous, the world tacitly accepted that the apprentice did not have a certain personal attachment to the master before he left the school, no matter how much Qin Xiucai wanted to be enveloped, as long as Xiang Bo did not agree, it would be fine.

However, Xiang Bo agreed without any hesitation, you know, with such an apprentice as Zhu Da, there are a lot of benefits in the open and in the dark, rock salt, fish and meat, and all kinds of ideas, but Xiang Bo still agreed simply.

This shows that Xiang Bozhen regarded Zhu Da as his own family, and did not consider his own interests when he considered it, but thought about Zhu Da's future and benefits, of course, it was the old man's selfishness to let Zhou Qingyun stay, and he hoped that Zhou Qingyun could have a relationship with Qin Xiucai.

Confused by Qin Xiucai's enthusiasm and grateful for his sincerity from his master, Zhu Da slowly fell asleep.

The guest room of the Qin family is much stronger than the house of the villagers of Baibao Village, clean, warm and quiet, everyone slept well this night, and the three of them got up a little late the next morning, but this "night" is also relatively speaking, and it is only bright after getting up.

Although I didn't see it yesterday, there was more than one servant in Qin Xiucai's house, and after the three of them got up, someone brought breakfast, white porridge, pancakes and pickles, everyone ate very happily, Zhou Qingyun also muttered and said: "It would be nice to be able to live this day every day." Neither Zhu Da nor Xiang Bo answered.

"You can't slack off in martial arts." After eating, Xiang Bo drove Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun into the courtyard.

Most people in this era get up very early, when Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun used wooden sticks to compare knife skills, Qin Xiucai also appeared in the yard dressed neatly, but it happened that there was a rooster crowing at this time, Qin Xiucai said with a smile: "This is smelling the chicken dancing!" ”

After saying this, Qin Xiucai asked Zhu Da with a smile: "Do you know the allusion to this idiom?" ”

"The younger generation doesn't remember it very clearly, it should be an allusion to Zu Xun and Liu Kun working hard when they were young." Zhu Da replied that the idiom "smelling the chicken and dancing" was mentioned a lot in school that year, and it was explained very thoroughly, and he also had an impression.

Qin Xiucai nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Uncle Xiang, Uncle Xiang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Mr. Qin, don't look at the old man, these are not taught by the old man, let this kid make it clear to you in the future!"

This answer made Xiucai Qin Chuan laugh, and before he could continue, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and it didn't take long for the leader of the Yanzhan horse team yesterday, "Third Brother Xu", who walked in, compared to yesterday's full armament, today's middle-aged man was a lot more relaxed, and the spurs on his riding boots had also been removed.

After entering the door, he signaled to Qin Xiucai, and didn't speak, stared at Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun for a long time, and then commented: "This Arhat can also go into battle against the enemy after practicing the six swords, but it's not a show." ”

Then the third brother Xu smiled at Qin Xiucai and said: "The dozen or so family members of the Zheng family left last night, these bastards, I really can't wait to merge them." ”

More than a dozen family members of Zheng Jiaji? Isn't it the thief soldiers some time ago, and the family cavalry sent by the guard to exterminate the thief soldiers? I remember passing by the entrance of Baibao Village, showing off his might and saying that he was going to Zhengjiaji, this salt stack should also be opened by people related to the guard, and nine times out of ten the soldiers in these salt stacks are also from the family guards, how can they be so hostile to the officers and soldiers?

After hearing this, many questions popped up in Zhu Da's mind, and he was used to thinking, and he quickly strung these questions together, and his movements gradually slowed down while he was practicing martial arts.

"Don't get distracted, practice hard!" Because of the presence of outsiders, Xiang Bo didn't roar, just frowned and shouted.

His scolding diverted the attention of Qin Xiucai and Third Brother Xu, and Qin Xiucai even noticed the stunned expression on Zhu Da's face, Qin Chuan asked with a smile, "Zhu Da, what did you think of?" ”

Zhu Da hesitated, whether he wanted to say it clearly, and then made a decision, with some show-off, without any city government behavior, but to make himself more like a smart teenager, he stopped his movements and replied: "I have figured out the matter of the thief soldiers!" ”

This was said thoughtlessly, but Qin Xiucai and Third Brother Xu both understood, the two glanced at each other, and Third Brother Xu said angrily: "What can you understand at a young age, you were lucky to kill a thief, can you know anything else?" ”

Qin Xiucai was gentle, and said with a little encouragement: "Zhu Da, you tell me what you think." ”

"I just heard 'Third Uncle Xu' say that the family is gone, is it the personal guard cavalry of the guard?" Judah asked.

After nodding his head over there, Zhu Da continued: "The junior suddenly thought that the family members of this guard house came to Zheng Jiaji to suppress bandits, but in fact, did they come to deal with Mr. Qin? ”

When he said this, Qin Xiucai was stunned, and then his face was calm, and the third brother Xu was full of incredulity, staring at Zhu Da and asking, "Did you torture that thief soldier for anything?" Why not escalate? ”

"All the torture has been reported." Zhu Da said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Qin Xiucai nodded and said: "Third Brother Xu, we have also tortured us, but we don't know anything, only the thief who didn't catch it should know the inside story, and everyone else was used." ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhu Da: "You go on." A smile appeared on his face.

"I heard from the master that the general number of the salt stack is in another place, but Zheng Jiaji, which is prosperous in all directions, must have a large business in the salt stack here, not to mention that Mr. Qin is here, it is even more important, and there are a lot of guards who want to be placed here, and those thieves and soldiers from hundreds of villages are staring at the salt sellers, thinking that they want to transfer the guards on this side of the salt stack, and wait until the garrison is empty and then kill in, and then the certainty of success will be much greater."

Zhu Da talked eloquently, the third brother Xu's eyes widened, looking at Zhu Da like a monster, Xiang Bodu's face was full of astonishment, but he nodded slowly, thinking that he was somewhat clear by these words, Qin Xiucai had surprise and appreciation on his face, and said gently: "Let's talk about it carefully, say everything you can think of." ”

"In our Datong Zuowei and Huairen County area, the most stable and profitable business is private salt, Shengping Salt Stack is doing so well, it must be targeted by others, and the one who is qualified to have the strength to snatch it is the Wei Sho Jiangmen, but Mr. Qin has a talent and fame, and he must have a backer to open the salt stack openly, and it is impossible to start on the surface, so he can only use other methods, there is no royal law outside the city and town, and there is no one to kill people in the field, and no one cares about the officials, so he can let go of the salt sellers in each village and hundreds of households. Although there is a royal law in the city and town, as long as it is done quickly and cleanly, no one will be held accountable, so they attack the salt sellers and disrupt the foundation of the salt stack, and at the same time divert the tiger from the mountain, and at the same time arrange their forces in the critical places, as long as the garrison is empty, they will strike a thunderbolt, and when the time comes, they will kill and leave quickly, and they will not be caught. ”

The courtyard was already quiet, several people were staring at Zhu Da, except for Zhou Qingyun's ignorance, everyone else was full of shock, Zhu Da was distracted when he said this, in the era of information explosion, after seeing too many examples, he already had a subconscious association with some routines, but he also lost to this era, because he had goals and ideals, so he was cautious step by step, and developed the habit of thinking seriously, otherwise he would not have behaved so "smart".

"It is estimated that the guards who are going to start have been looking for opportunities, and when the smoke is lit, they can naturally do something, such as making people' Thief soldiers', and the thieves gave them a reason to send family cavalry, and the reason for the war preparedness of each hundred households is also for this, so that the hundreds of households everywhere are empty, and it is easier for the thieves to fish in troubled waters, and the guards should know Mr. Qin's wisdom and planning, and feel that Mr. Qin is in charge of the business details of the salt stack, on the one hand, he thinks that killing Mr. Qin will make the salt stack chaotic, and on the other hand, he thinks about coercing and recruiting Mr. Qin for their use, so he will send someone to tie up Qin Qin, and if you think about it more, I am afraid that there are also spies in the Zheng family set, otherwise the thief soldiers will not be so easy to get。 ”

"Amazing!" Qin Xiucai muttered in a low voice, only Third Brother Xu beside him heard it, but at this time, everyone was listening to Zhu Da's analysis.

"It's just that the guard didn't expect that the thief soldier would be carelessly killed by two teenagers, and then the salt stack reacted so quickly, directly exterminated the thief soldier, and caught the live mouth, at this time, there is no possibility of starting, so I can only retreat, and if I don't leave, I am afraid that there will be trouble in both the official and private places."

"But when the thieves are exterminated, the salt stack is also empty, why doesn't the other party do it?" Qin Xiucai interjected and asked.

"One is fast, the back and forth is less than two days, and the second is that the cavalry of the guard house is too peaceful, and after coming to Zhengjiaji, I don't want to keep an eye on it, just wait for the news of the peak, and take care of myself for fun, so I didn't seize this opportunity, and Mr. Qin's risk is no risk."

The courtyard was quiet for a while, and Third Brother Xu asked angrily: "Mr. Qin, did you tell this kid everything and deliberately act for me to startle!" ”
