The plan was decided, Boss Hu and Song Xianggong discussed it again, and decided not to wait until seven days later to fight Luoding, but to take advantage of the brothers' strength, set off for Luoding now, and start when it gets dark.

Song Xianggong explained, saying that this matter is still too dangerous after all, although the strategy is good and indeed feasible, but whether it succeeds in the end depends on luck. Now the brothers are agitated, but if they wake up and wonder what is not the case, and some people are afraid, then the matter will be yellow. If everyone refuses to go, even as the leader, Boss Hu will not be able to force them to do this death-defying business, they are really in a hurry, and it is possible for these men to fight in their nests.

Zhou Shixiang thought about it, this is indeed the case, if he really wants to delay until seven days later, then he will have a lot of dreams at night, I am afraid that this matter is really going to be stillborn, so he agreed to act immediately.

After everyone discussed in detail how to do it after entering the city, how to respond to the people outside, and how to deal with it if there was an accident, after everything was decided, Boss Hu went out and announced the decision to the men who had been waiting anxiously for a long time. Suddenly, all the men were boiling, and they couldn't wait for each other, and the bald man who had scolded Zhou Shixiang as a madman sharpened and sharpened his knife, lest he not be fast enough to kill the Qing soldiers at night.

The good mental outlook of the men made Zhou Shixiang very satisfied, although the thoughts and starting points of these people were completely different from what he thought, but it did not hinder his mood at all. In his opinion, persuading these bandits to fight Luo must be the first step, and only by solving this first step can there be a second step. If you can't even complete the first step, then it's a joke to talk about the second and third steps.

In order to encourage his subordinates to fight bravely at night, Boss Hu specially asked someone to slaughter a sheep that he had snatched from the mountain a few days ago. There are a few jars of wine in the village, but Boss Hu never dares to take it out, he knows that his subordinates have drunk too much, and they are bound to make a mistake.

Zhang Luo is slaughtering sheep here, and busy supporting pots there, but Zhou Shixiang still has a problem that must be solved first, that is, how to sneak into Luoding City - the Mongolian Tartars don't want the Han people to remove their hair!

Except for a "very smart" bald man, no one else in Daqiao Mountain had their hair removed, and no matter how blind Luo Ding's Qing army was, no matter how bad their vigilance was, it was impossible for the Han people who had not been removed to enter the city. And the key to capturing Luoding is Neiying in the city, if Neiying can't enter the city, then this matter will have to be in vain, if you are lucky, you can get out, and if you are unlucky, you will have to die in Luoding.

Zhou Shixiang threw this question to Song Xianggong, who had already prepared and asked Zhao Sihai to go to his house and take out four Taoist robes.

"Let's pretend to be a Taoist priest and enter the city, the Tartars won't suspect it." Song Xianggong said with certainty, afraid that Zhou Shixiang would not believe it, and specially emphasized, "When I went to Luoding, I was dressed as a Taoist priest." ”

Looking at these four robes with an unknown amount of dirt, Zhou Shixiang remembered that after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and forced the Han people to remove their hair, many Han people who did not want to remove their hair pretended to be Taoist priests or actors, so as to evade the Manchu Qing Dynasty's hair removal order.

"I'm afraid that only four robes are not enough, I mean that there must be at least ten people entering the city, and more people have more strength and security."

Sesame Li Duo Xuzhou only sent four people disguised as migrant workers to pick the river into the city, but that was three hundred years ago, Zhou Shixiang didn't want to draw a tiger into a cat, so he insisted on doubling the number of people who should enter the city, at least ten.

"There are only four robes, and no one else can sneak into the city." Song Xianggong looked embarrassed.

Peng Dazhu, who had been listening, suddenly reminded him: "Mr. Song, didn't we grab a few costumes last month?" ”

Hearing this, Song Xianggong couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: "That's the young lady's clothes, can you wear them?" ”

"Hmm" Peng Dazhu's face turned red and he didn't dare to squeak anymore.

Song Xianggong ignored him, turned around and asked Zhou Shixiang: "What is Brother Zhou's idea?" ”

Zhou Shixiang was also very embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he had to say: "The best way is to remove the hair." ”

"Hair removal?" Peng Dazhu jumped high all of a sudden, "This can't be done, how can the parents of the body hair and skin be removed!" ”

On the contrary, Zhou Shi asked him: "If you can enter the city, kill more Qing troops, capture Luoding City, and make your brothers rich, why can't you remove this hair?" ”

"This" Peng Dazhu couldn't think of how to refute, and he didn't squeak anymore with his head stuffed.

Song Xianggong didn't have a psychological burden on hair removal, let alone Boss Hu, he couldn't think of any other way to get into the city besides hair removal, so he clapped his hand and said: "Cheng, then remove the hair!" His eyes swept over all his subordinates: "Who will pick first?" ”

All the men avoided Boss Hu's gaze, and Peng Dazhu hid directly in the back, seeing that no one was willing to pick it, Zhao Sihai grinned and stepped forward and said: "You all refuse to pick it, then I will come, as long as I can wash Luo Dingcheng, it is worth removing Lao Tzu's bald head!" ”

"Isn't it just hair, it's not that it's not long when it's trimmed, I didn't say it, my brothers also cut it!"

Ge Wu saw that Zhao Sihai stood up, and after not being weak, he pulled his younger brother Ge Liu and stepped forward to ask for hair removal, and when the others saw this, a few more people came out one after another.

There are people who are willing to pick out their hair, but there is a new problem, everyone in Daqiao Mountain has everything, but no one has ever been a head picker, so how to pick this hair has become a difficult matter.

"The braid of the tartar looks like a mouse's tail, and the tip of the braid must be able to wear copper coins, if it is not like it, the tartar can see it at a glance, and it is better not to be recognized by the tartar." Peng Dazhu finally found a reason why he couldn't remove his hair, and he was suddenly excited.

Song Xianggong also said helplessly to Zhou Shixiang: "Everyone can remove their hair, this braid will not work, if it is not like it, it will be a mistake, or, think of other ways?" ”

"There can be no further delay." Zhou Shixiang frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Isn't there a woman in the village?" Ask them to come over and tie their braids, they can always do the work that the old men can't do, right? ”

Hearing this, Song Xianggong nodded and said: "This makes sense, the ladies are skillful, and it is no problem to tie braids." ”

"I'm going to call someone!"

Ge Wu was in a hurry to go to Luoding to make a fortune, and he really didn't want to delay for a moment, so he went to the river to bring people in a hurry.

After more than a dozen women washing clothes by the river were brought over by Ge Wu, they saw a group of bandits staring at them one by one, and they immediately felt frightened.

Zhou Shixiang sighed secretly, he saw a familiar figure among the women, the mute little girl who delivered the meal last night was hiding behind a woman who was a head taller than her, one hand firmly grasped the hem of the woman's clothes, and the other hand was clenched into a small fist because she was too nervous and afraid. seemed to find that Zhou Shixiang was looking at herself, and the little girl's head was lowered.

Zhou Shixiang was afraid that Ge Wu and they would scare these women, so he came forward and told them about the hair and braids in a calm tone, and when they heard that the bandits were going to cut their hair, the women's faces became ugly, obviously thinking that these bandits were going to surrender to the Qing army.

Zhou Shixiang didn't explain to them, and asked the bald man with the sharpened knife to cut Ge Wu's hair, and then took out his bloodstained braid from his arms, signaled the women to see the style clearly, and then asked them to braided Zhao Sihai and them according to this braid.

The bald man's knife was sharpened so quickly, and it didn't take long for Zhao Sihai and Ge Wu to remove their hair, leaving only a tuft of hair on the back of his head, looking ugly.

Ge Wu saw that those women were still standing stupidly, so he scolded: "Don't hurry up and do it, who wants to make it up, Lao Tzu can't beat her!" ”

Hearing this, those women hurriedly stepped forward and began to braid, and the little mute also stood behind Zhao Sihai tremblingly, carefully braiding for him.

Zhou Shixiang looked at it for a while and then turned to leave, not far away, several men were putting the slaughtered and washed mutton into a large cauldron, and when they saw Zhou Shixiang coming, they all grinned at him, obviously they had made Zhou Shixiang their own.

The fire burning under the iron pot was very strong, and when the women had braided their braids, the aroma of mutton in the pot had already spread, and the meat was also stewed so badly that it made people drool when they looked at it.

After checking that there was no problem with those braids, Song Xianggong walked over with Zhou Shixiang's braids, and saw that Zhou Shixiang was staring at those women, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Brother Zhou must also know that these women are robbed, I'm afraid to look pitiful." ”

Zhou Shixiang didn't speak, but the expression on his face was acquiescing. After a long time, he said: "We went to Luoding, I don't know if it was successful, if we unfortunately missed, what should these women do?" ”

Song Xianggong didn't answer, just looked at the women and was silent. The two of them stood in relative silence for a moment, until Boss Hu came to invite them to eat mutton.

Everyone in Daqiao Mountain will gather around the pot, constantly making fun of Zhao Sihai and Ge Wu, who have been picky, and let out a burst of laughter from time to time. The women and the little mute stood far away, not daring to approach at all, and although there was no expression on their faces, their throats were trembling slightly.

In order to show his admiration and respect for Zhou Shixiang, Hu Boss specially filled a large bowl of mutton and held it to Zhou Shixiang himself.

Boss Hu laughed when he heard this, knowing that Zhou Shixiang was a scholar and soft-hearted, he must have sympathized with the little girl when he saw that little girl was thin, and he didn't save his face, so he let him go.

After Zhou Shixiang thanked him again, he walked up to the little mute with this bowl of hot mutton, and put the bowl in her hand under the puzzled and surprised eyes of the other party.

The little girl was already stunned by Zhou Shixiang's actions, looking at the mutton in the bowl in a daze, her heart was indescribably sour, and when she wanted to express her gratitude to Zhou Shixiang, she found that the other party had turned away.

He?

Looking at Zhou Shixiang's tall figure, the little girl remembered that she didn't know what this person's name was. Those women also felt that Zhou Shixiang was different from those bandits, and their eyes were confused.

Just when these women were confused, Zhou Shixiang, who had already walked more than a foot away, suddenly turned back to them and said, "If no one comes back tomorrow, you can go home." ”
