When Dong Ce followed the middle-aged man to the front hall of the inn, Zhang Dagui and the others immediately surrounded him, and before they could speak, Dong Ce said first: "You wait for me here, if I don't come back after an hour, you can go to Lu Yuanwai and ask him to help me negotiate the medicinal material business." ”

"Alas, my subordinates understand!" Zhang Dagui immediately nodded in response.

Dong Ce followed the middle-aged man to the door, and at this time there was already a carriage waiting outside, and the middle-aged man greeted him, and the two entered the carriage together.

Along the way, Dong Ce didn't ask a word, which surprised the middle-aged man, and secretly thought that this kid was not afraid of selling him?

Dapeng Mansion is not small, the carriage ran for half an hour to reach the destination, and when Dong Ce got off the car, he found that it was not to Chen's Mansion, but to a teahouse.

"Dong Gongzi comes with me." The middle-aged man reminded him, and led Dong Ce to a private room on the second floor of the teahouse, but the middle-aged man just opened the door but did not enter, but put on a posture of invitation.

Dong Ce frowned slightly, and then stepped into the private room, and before he could see the layout clearly, a woman's voice suddenly came from a round door blocked by a light curtain.

"Dong Gongzi, the concubine Chen Ma's family, I asked Dong Gongzi to be resourceful, I invited you here this time, I hope you can do me a favor."

Dong Ce frowned slightly, and arched his hand into the door: "Mrs. Chen, please speak." ”

"You didn't even ask, and you agreed?" Chen Ma's voice looked a little surprised.

Dong Ce said with a smile: "I didn't say yes in my previous words, I hope Mrs. Chen won't misunderstand." ”

"What a mouth that can speak, you relied on this mouth to deceive the granddaughter of the Ma family!" Chen Ma's tone suddenly became cold.

"The granddaughter of the Ma family!" Dong Ce said in his heart. It was immediately understood that what Chen Ma was talking about should be Fang Shuwei.

"Sure enough, it has something to do with that Nizi, and now this Chen Ma is putting on such a show. Obviously, she is going to give me a horse, which also shows that she doesn't want Fang Shuwei to marry me. It just happened to be what I wanted. After thinking about it, Dong Ce shook his head and smiled: "Me and Fang Zhukuai are not what Mrs. Chen imagined, maybe Fang Zhukuai is indeed a little interesting to Zaixia, but he is still self-aware in Xia, and he has never wanted to climb anything." ”

There was silence in the door for a long time before Chen Ma's voice came again.

"It's good that you can think like this, but Wei'er's girl is determined to follow you, and the concubine really doesn't want Wei'er's relationship with us to be stiff because of you as an outsider, so I want her to retreat. So I promised her that as long as you can solve the thief in Huang Sangyu, I will let her marry you, now, what do you mean? ”

"That's what happened!" Dong Ce was surprised, and immediately began to calculate the relationship in his mind.

He didn't know the strength of the gang of thieves in Huangsangyu, but when he heard that they could escape all the way from Luzhou to Xuzhou, they seemed to be only stronger than the Fu Wei army, so he thought about it. This is obviously unusual!

Daning has only been founded for more than 30 years, and even if it is not the peak period of the military, it is not much worse, and the other party can easily break through the encirclement. Less than a tenth of the dead and wounded, how elite is that?

But such a person is a reckless person. Is it possible?

It's not that there are incompetent people in the recklessness, but there are too few. For example, not to mention the military in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, although Fang La chose to defend. But it's also a steel deal with them, and the result is not a complete defeat.

And the Xuzhou army wants war horses and war horses, and bows and crossbows, how can it let one hundred and eighty reckless seven in and seven out?

The only possibility is that the Xuzhou army has their internal response here, and they sent someone to inform them of the loopholes in the encirclement as early as possible.

But in the end, why was he trapped in Huang Sangyu? Was it a mole who was caught? Or did the traitor deliberately lead these people to Huangsangyu little by little, so as to attract the attention of the Xuzhou army?

The former is obviously impossible, after all, let these people kill from Luzhou to the hinterland of Xuzhou, how much the face of the Xuzhou army will be lost! If the mole was caught, it would have been announced to the world long ago, proving that it was not that they couldn't do it, but that the other party was too cunning, and the mole was planted early to infiltrate and report to them.

"Dare to ask Mrs. Chen, has there been any major incident in Xuzhou recently in addition to this incident?"

Hearing Dong Ce's words, there was silence in the door for a while, and after a long time, Chen Ma said: "It's not a big deal, but it's not a big deal, it's just that it has nothing to do with this matter." ”

"Oh, I don't know what's going on? Can Mrs. Chan explain? Dong Ce continued to ask.

"Are you really ignorant or are you pretending to be confused?" Chen Mashi smiled faintly and said, "Isn't it almost the second day of February?" ”

"February 2...... The dragon raises its head! Dong Ce was slightly startled in his heart, and suddenly understood everything!

Daning's February 2 imitated the period of King Wu of Zhou, on this day, the whole Daning will hold a grand ceremony, the civil and military officials of the state capital have to plough in person, every time, for convenience, but also so that the people can see, the local officials are back to gather together to farm, let the people watch outside the field, to see how hard and tired they are.

What's more, some people will also participate in the joint farming, which is called a family of officials and people!

And these two things seem to have nothing to do with each other, but if they do, it will be very serious!

Although it is impossible for the Xuzhou army to all go to Huangsangyu, but the guards of Dapeng Mansion and the township soldiers of Xiaoxian County must stay in the mountains at all times to prevent these people from escaping, then, when the officials of Dapeng Mansion are ploughing, there will be fewer guards and township soldiers to maintain order, and if a group of gangsters mix into the people and release cold arrows, or suddenly rush to the officials who are farming, the consequences can be imagined!

Although all this is Dong Ce's speculation, it is not impossible, after thinking about it, Dong Ce finally arched his hand and sighed: "In the next businessman, there is really nothing that can be done about it. ”

Dong Ce is not helpless, but the risk is very great, besides, the apprentice of the national teacher has been arrested, you have to be a leader as an outsider, even if you succeed, the credit is really nothing to you, and if you don't succeed, you will definitely lose your head!

"Yes, so I can explain it to Wei'er, I hope she can understand." Chen Ma pretended to regret it.

"Although there is really nothing I can do about it, there are some ideas that need to be told to Mrs. Chen." Dong Ce changed his words.

Chen Mashi was slightly stunned, looked at the tall and thin figure outside the light curtain, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Dong Ce didn't hide it, and slowly told Chen Mashi about his guesses, and Chen Mashi was more and more surprised the more he listened, and finally he was even more shocked in his heart, and his face turned pale!

Chen Ma's husband is the commander of the Dapeng Mansion Guards, and he will naturally go to the field on February 2, if what Dong Ce speculates really happens, is it possible for her not to be widowed?

Although her husband is strong in martial arts, this is no longer a two-fist opponent with four hands, but a fight between flesh and iron!

"Dong Gongzi, how likely is this matter?" Chen Ma's tone suddenly softened, and he no longer had the previous domineering.

Dong Ce smiled bitterly and said, "There is no evidence, I am not sure, but I hope that Mrs. Chen will not blame me for lying and confusing the public." (To be continued.) )
