The following day, the city of Lanzhou strengthened its defenses, but in this troubled world, a few more soldiers on the street would not arouse suspicion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In the courtyard of the Tang Mansion, Tang Xu was also thinking about his next move.

Tang Xu thought that if it was only to destroy the cooperation between the Khitan and Tu Sima, it would not be able to ensure the peace of Lanzhou City, and it would not be possible to prevent the Khitan from finding another opportunity to lure Tu Sima to surrender again, then the safety of the Central Plains would still not be guaranteed. The only way to completely eliminate the hidden danger of Tuosima becoming an enemy ally is to become a partner of Tuosima himself. However, how to establish this cooperation and how to arouse the interest of the people is the crux of the problem.

Either way, getting in touch with the people of Desma first is the first priority. Tang Xu stayed at home all day waiting for news from Wang Dali, but there was no movement until the evening.

The next afternoon, Tang Xu was taking a nap, and when Wang Dali came, he saw that he hadn't woken up yet, so he went to look for Lan Jun, and waited on the side after coming back, waiting for almost 1 hour, Tang Xu still didn't mean to wake up, so Wang Dali pushed Tang Xu's shoulder.

"Vigorously, you're here." Tang Xu woke up leisurely.

"Boss, I caught a few people who are out of their minds." Wang Dali said.

"Great, you lock them up first, don't leak the news, let me think about what to do next." Tang Xu happily jumped up from the bed and paced back and forth in the room.

"Tell me how you caught them." After the joy passed, Tang Xu stabilized his emotions.

"I sent more guards to the city this morning, and the number of patrols in the streets increased, and I found a few sneaky foreigners near the city gates. Said that they were going out of the city, and asked them where they lived in the city, but they couldn't say, and then I found a little tea residue on them, and I went to Lan Jun just now, and he confirmed that these tea residues were the kind we were looking for. Wang Dali said and took out a paper bag, which opened it and contained some black-brown broken tea leaves.

"Did they tell where they were hiding in the city?" Tang Xu took a closer look and sniffed it carefully, it was indeed poisonous, although the smell was not as strong as after the boiling water was soaked, but it could still smell a little.

"I said yes, but we searched for it, and there was no tea, only some traces of tea bags piled up, and there were a few pieces of scrap scattered on the ground." Wang Dali replied.

"It should have been given to the Khitans." Tang Xu speculated.

"Yes, those who are out of thinking and numb also said that they have all shot." Wang nodded vigorously.

"Since you are trying to make a lot of money in Lanzhou City, this little place in the city is definitely not enough to stock up. Dali, you said you had roughly touched the location of their foothold outside the city? Tang Xu tilted his head and looked at Wang Dali.

"Yes, but I just looked at it from a distance, and I don't know the specific situation." Wang replied vigorously.

"Okay, you can send someone to find out the specific situation, including how many people they have, how many tea leaves, it's best to know how they make this kind of tea with rice sac flower juice, but you just do your best, don't go to places that are too dangerous." Although Tang Xu had a lot of things to know, he didn't want Wang Dali to be in danger because of this.

"Don't worry, owner." Wang Dali assured him that he would be careful.

"Where are you keeping those people in exile?" Tang Xu wanted to meet him as soon as possible and make good friends.

"In an abandoned warehouse in the south of the city, I haven't reported it to the general, and I personally drove it away, and no one knows." Wang Dali guessed that Tang Xu wanted to fight these people who were out of their minds, so he was extra careful in the process of arrest and detention, and did not leak any rumors.

"Okay, you go and touch the situation outside the city again, I plan to meet those people for a while in the evening." Tang Xu nodded, Wang Dali didn't want him to go on an adventure alone, but Tang Xu was very insistent, Wang Dali had to compromise, but drew a simple map for him, marking the location of several warehouses in the north of the city.

The two of them didn't say much and acted separately. Tang Xu wanted to rush over immediately, after all, the stakes were very high, but he was afraid of arousing suspicion if he acted rashly. It wasn't until it was dark that he finally figured out a solution.

Tang Xu followed the map drawn to him by Wang Dali and touched the north of the city, which was not as lively as other places, and many houses were abandoned, but there were still some people living here. Tang Xu didn't find the warehouse Wang Dali said for a while, and after sneaking around for a long time, he found a small warehouse in a very remote place, surrounded by firewood and grass, as if no one had been here for a long time. Tang Xu wasn't sure if the person was inside, and even if he was, he couldn't just swagger in. Tang Xu turned around a few more times, grabbed a handful of dirt ash from the ground and wiped it on his face, and tore out a few cuts in the clothes on his body. Suddenly, it became a person named Hanako. Tang Xu looked down and was satisfied. Then he touched the door, picked up the firewood and grass pile next to him, and slammed it sideways, the wooden door was in disrepair, so he hit it like this, the door bolt broke, and Tang Xu didn't stand still and fell in.

"Ouch." Tang Xu snorted in pain.

"Who?" Someone in the room asked in a gruff voice, not very friendly.

"Ouch." Tang Xu didn't pay attention to the man, but just glanced at the situation in the room out of the corner of his eye. It was already dark, and the room was even darker without lights, and there were a few dark shadows in the corners of the room, and it was impossible to see clearly, and it was impossible to tell whether they were tall or short, fat or thin.

"Who are you?" The man asked again, and it was not Han Chinese. Tang Xu rubbed his arm and stood up from the ground with a snort, wanting to take a closer look from a different angle.

"Han Chinese!" A person stood up from the shadows, Tang Xu took two steps back in fear, but the person had no intention of moving forward, just stood there, as if he was also looking at Tang Xu.

"I'm Han." Tang Xu spoke, it was useless to keep playing dumb riddles, although they were not Han Chinese, but there were many foreigners in Lanzhou City, and they were just hostages from which bandits, so they still needed to be further confirmed.

"Han, what do you want?" The other party said word by word.

"I want tea." Tang Xu was desperate, saying the word tea at this moment might kill him immediately, but he couldn't think of anything else for a while.

"Are you a Khitan?" The man was suddenly a little excited, and wanted to rush over, but it seemed that his hands and feet were tied, and he only twisted a few times before stopping.

"I'm not a Khitan, I want to drink tea, I have money!" Tang Xu was secretly happy, he had found the right person, but these people seemed to be very annoyed by the tricks they had played with Wang Dali before, if they hadn't been tied up, they would really have been torn apart by them.

"No tea, not us." The man hesitated for a moment and did not enter Tang Xu's trap.

"Give me tea, I have money, I'll get you out." Tang Xu took the initiative to get up and took a few steps forward.

"Help us? It's true? The man seemed to be a little moved, and then muttered to someone next to him.

"Really, I know the way." Tang Xu felt that it was too difficult to talk to them, but it was too complicated and he was afraid that they would not understand.

"I don't believe you." Another voice popped up like a young man.

"Trust me! Believe me! Give me tea! Tang Xu suddenly opened his throat and shouted, and one jumped up, and he didn't know whose clothes he had caught and began to tear them regardless of it.

"Let go! Stinky pigs! Mad dog! The young man happened to be caught by Tang Xu, and cursed in shock and fear, but several people around him seemed to be frightened by Tang Xu's appearance, and they all shrank next to him and no one spoke.

"Give me tea! Give me! Tang Xu thought about it, and launched a crazy attack even more unscrupulously, not only pulling his clothes, but also pulling his hair, and then seeing the opportunity to bite his arms and shoulders a few times, this tossing hurt the man screaming like killing a pig, and there was no way to fight back, and in the end the curse turned into a weak plea.

"Give me tea!" Tang Xu shouted for so long, his voice was a little hoarse, and he looked like a complete madman.

"Save us and give you tea." Now they completely believe that Tang Xu is a madman who has been poisoned by tea, but they let down their guard in their hearts.

"Good!" Tang Xu flipped off the man and was about to untie the rope, but he hesitated, in case there was a fraud, it would be okay for them to leave themselves and run away, if they had to deal with themselves in turn, it would be bad.

"Tell me, where's the tea?" Tang Xu kept an eye on it, if he first found a place to hoard tea outside the city, he could let Wang Dali directly take someone to copy it.

"Save us and tell you." The young man did not let go, and fought with him.

"Without me, you would all die." Tang Xu was on fire, one by one they were tied into pork, and they were still bargaining, thinking about those who were poisoned by tea, Tang Xu couldn't wait to kill them immediately.

"I have a map for you, but without me, they won't give you tea." A chubby desidual-minded man was successfully frightened by Tang Xu's words, and hurriedly showed goodwill.

"You come with me." Tang Xu didn't talk nonsense, he reached out and went to the person, touched it for a long time, and pulled out a rag, sure enough, it was a map, very rough, only the general direction was indicated, but it could basically be understood.

"Traitor!" The young man yelled angrily at Fat Tuosi.

Tang Xu didn't untie the rope for him, just pulled him up from the ground. He had expected the young man to scold the traitor as hard as he had just scolded himself, but he only cursed one sentence and said no more. Tang Xu was suspicious in his heart, and glanced back at these people, the fat and numb looked flattering, and the other people's expressions were a little nervous, and the young man bowed his head and did not speak at this time.

"Let's go!" Tang Xu pulled Fat Tuo Sima out of the warehouse, and wanted to turn a corner and close it somewhere else. He felt that there must be a ghost in this, and he couldn't let him be with him. But as he walked, Tang Xu thought about it, it was not good to tear his face now, his purpose was to have a good relationship with these people and cut off the possibility of them joining forces with the Khitans. So, Tang Xu changed his strategy, changed his attitude, loosened his bonds, apologized to him, and stuffed him with all the money he carried.

Fat Tuo Sima didn't expect Tang Xu to suddenly change his face, afraid that he would want to plot against himself, so although he didn't have any restraints on his body, he didn't dare to run away immediately, and Tang Xu kept stuffing him with money, which made him believe more and more that Tang Xu just wanted tea.

"How do you get out?" The two walked to the city gate and saw a lot of soldiers checking passers-by, and Fat Tuo Sima was very worried, and wanted to hide to the side, for fear that he would be caught again.

"You wait for me." It is definitely impossible to swagger under the noses of human soldiers, and Tang Xu is also worried that if he runs into an acquaintance, he will definitely be exposed in front of this desidual. So Tang Xu asked him to hide first and sneak out to find a way. Fat Tuo Sima had no other choice now, so he had to agree with Tang Xu's opinion.

Tang Xu returned to the city gate to see how the group of soldiers were checking, and after watching for a long time, he didn't see anyone he knew, so he put his hanging heart down, and prepared to go out of the city to find Wang Dali first, and then come back to pick up that Tuo Sima after the convergence.

"Tang Gongzi!" Tang Xu was just about to line up, someone called him behind, Tang Xu looked back and saw that it was Lan Jun.
