Cai Fu.

In the lobby, Cai Zhong paced uneasily in the hall, waiting for someone.

After a while, footsteps sounded, and Cai Mao walked into the hall with a leisurely face, still humming a little song, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Big brother is in such a good mood, it seems that my plan must have succeeded." Cai Zhong greeted him and asked with a smile.

Cai Mao handed him the official hat, sat down unhurriedly, poured himself a glass of wine slowly, and said: "Second brother, I underestimated you before, but I didn't expect you to be a little resourceful, the Gan Ning you said did have some ability, and he really robbed the grain ship." ”

"Needless to say, the grain ship of our Cai family that I escorted last time was robbed by the one surnamed Gan, but I have suffered from him, otherwise how would I know his ability."

Cai Zhong received his brother's approval, and immediately got a little carried away, shaking out all the ugly things he had done before.

Cai Mao's face sank immediately, and she reprimanded: "It turns out that you were robbed last time, and you didn't sink the boat in the wind and waves at all, you still dare to lie!"

Cai Zhong suddenly looked embarrassed, so he had to scratch his head and sneer: "Isn't that that because I'm afraid that my eldest brother will scold me for being incompetent, I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it in the future." ”

Cai Mao slapped him on the head and snorted: "That's it, I will spare you this time if you have made meritorious service this time." ”

"Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother." Cai Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, slapped himself secretly, and scolded himself for being cheap.

Cai Mao became vigilant again and asked, "By the way, this matter will not involve our Cai family, right?" ”

"No, no, absolutely not." Cai Zhong shook his head busily, "I sent someone to secretly reveal the departure date of the grain ship and the plan to stop along the way to the surnamed Gan, this matter is known to God, you know and I know, no one would have thought that it was we who revealed the news to the surnamed Gan and stabbed Na Su Zhe in the back." ”

"That's good." Cai Mao nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Cai Zhong asked again: "Big brother, what is the reaction of the lord's side to today's military discussion." ”

"The lord is naturally furious." Cai Mao's expression was disapproving, "The eldest prince also took the initiative to invite Ying, and wanted to lead his troops to beg the thief, but the lord has already agreed." ”

"The eldest prince personally went out on horse?" Cai Zhong is curious.

Cai Mao sneered: "He just wants to take the opportunity to make a contribution, and he also wants to rescue the girl of the Huang family, a hero to save the beauty, and it is a coincidence that the girl of the Huang family is also on the grain boat." ”

"Isn't that better." The corners of Cai Zhong's mouth hooked up a sinister smile, "With the eldest prince's ability to lead troops, most of them can't help that Gan Ning, and when the Huang family girl can't be saved, he can only obediently marry our family's sister-in-law, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone." ”

Cai Mao drank a glass of wine and couldn't help but smile again.

Cai Zhong also laughed along with Hehe, and the smug laughter echoed in the hall.

……

South of Thorn County, the Soviet army camp.

The 1,500-strong Soviet infantry was camping south of the city and west of the river.

In addition to the five hundred soldiers and horses that Su Fei left behind to guard Wancheng, Su Zhe had already brought all his belongings to the thief this time.

In the military tent.

Su Zhe slowly chewed the broad beans and listened to Hu Che'er's intelligence report quietly.

"I have found out clearly, the nest of the water thieves is located in a water nest between Xinye and Thorn City, surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing water on one side, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are seven hundred water thieves in Naganning, all of whom are elite men who are proficient in water warfare."

Hu Che'er compared the map while telling all the information he had reconnoitred.

Su Zhe glanced at the map a few times, and suddenly asked again: "Where are the men and horses in Xiangyang, I expect that the eldest prince Liu will personally lead the army to fight the thief." ”

"Childe is like a god." Hu Che'er gave a thumbs up and praised: "Then the eldest prince Liu did take the initiative to ask Liu Jingzhou for help, and took three thousand soldiers and horses to the north at the starry night, and now he has almost arrived in Xinye." ”

As expected.

Zhou Cang said strangely: "Childe, how could you have expected that the eldest prince Liu would personally lead the army to come." ”

"That's not simple, it's nothing more than women and face." Su Zhe said disapprerovingly.

Zhou Cang realized something, so he said eagerly: "Then we have to kill the water thieves first and rescue Miss Huang, otherwise this hero's good thing of saving beauty will not be robbed by the eldest prince." ”

"Do you have to hurry up and march into the army......" Su Zhe stared at the map thoughtfully.

Naturally, he was not worried about being robbed by Liu Qi to "save the beauty of the hero", because he firmly believed that Huang Yueying's deep affection for him, and any action by Liu Qi would be in vain.

He was just worried that every day of delay would make Huang Yueying more dangerous, so he had to rush into the army.

At this moment, the soldiers outside the tent came to report, saying that there was a young lady named Cai Shu outside the tent, and asked to see Su Zhe by name.

"Cai Shu, what is she doing here?" Su Zhe was suspicious, hesitated for a moment, and still invited her in with a warrant.

After a while, the curtain was lifted, and the glamorous Cai Shu walked into the big tent with high spirits.

Hu Che'er and Zhou Cang retired very interestingly.

Of the big tent, only the two of them remained.

"What kind of wind blew Miss Cai to me?" Su Zhe's tone was flat, and he didn't show much welcome.

"Why, don't you invite me to sit down and pour me a glass of wine to quench my thirst, I've come here all the way, and I'm thirsty." Cai Shu didn't wait for Su Zhe to perform, and sat down unceremoniously.

She was a woman after all, and Su Zhe didn't want to slack off her, so he personally poured her a cup of thirst-quenching wine.

Cai Shu only took a sip, spit it out with a "poof", threw the wine glass on the table, frowned and complained: "What kind of wine is this, it's so unpleasant, no one in our family drinks it." ”

It's really a rich lady who picks and chooses.

Su Zhe didn't give her a good look, and said coldly: "This is a military camp, and the soldiers are all coarse tea and light rice, so it is not easy to have a sip of wine to drink, and naturally it is not as good as Miss Cai's elixir and jade liquid." ”

"Forget it, I don't care about you." Cai Shu pouted, took out a handkerchief and wiped the wine stains on the corner of her mouth.

Su Zhe returned to the main seat, picked up a military newspaper casually and pretended to look at it, and said casually: "The lower official still has military affairs, if Miss Cai has nothing serious, I will not be able to accompany him." ”

"Of course I'm serious."

Cai Shu stood up, approached Su Zhe, and said: "I know that the price of grain in your Wancheng has skyrocketed recently, and the grain and grass transferred to you by Xiangyang have been robbed by Jinfan thieves again, and you are already in a mess of food matters, and I am here to help you." ”

Su Zhe's heart was shocked, he put down the military newspaper in his hand, and couldn't help but look at Cai Shu, thinking that she even knew about her food shortage, and it seemed that the Cai family must be stabbing the knife.

"Why is Miss Cai helping me?" Su Zhe asked quietly.

Cai Shu leaned lightly on Su Zhe's body, raised her hand, gently put it on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's very simple, because Miss Ben has taken a fancy to you." ”
