The reflection of the moon floats on the surface of the river.

The willows on the shore are lined up, and the willows dance lightly in the evening breeze.

The river is dotted with fishing fires, adding a bit of earthly beauty to this place!

Caihe is located thirty miles east of Shangcai City, and there is a nearby village named Caigou. 、

There are not many villagers, but the scenery along the river is pleasant, and since ancient times, this place has been a favorite place of Yashi.

Legend has it that Confucius was unable to bear the smoke and fire because of the picturesque scenery, so he starved of food for seven days.

On the willow trees by the river, a few horses were tethered.

The horses are lying on their stomachs or lying down, leisurely, as if they are also intoxicated by the moon of the Cai River.

Yuan Xu carefully surveyed every trace he found.

The guard followed closely behind with torches, and the flames illuminated only a small area, but enough for him to see his neighborhood.

Picking up a handful of hair from the ground and looking at the river, Yuan Xu fell into deep thought.

The guards did not dare to disturb him, and stood behind him in silence.

It has been nearly half an hour since he came to the river, and Yuan Xu has never said a word, just silently looking for something.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from afar.

Judging from the messy footsteps, it could be judged that at least forty or fifty people were approaching the shore.

The guards drew their swords one after another, and looked vigilantly at the flash of fire that appeared in the distance.

Yuan Xu looked at the river and frowned thoughtfully.

"Childe, someone's coming!" Dozens of bright points of light were getting closer and closer, and a guard reminded nervously.

"It's justice that brought people!" Without looking back, Yuan Xu replied casually.

Based on the clues obtained, he analyzed the possible evacuation route chosen by the captivators of the Zhen sisters.

There are many fishing boats on the Cai River, and there are horse hair on the shore, whether by land or water, those who rob the young lady of the Zhen family can leave calmly......

The slaves of Zhen Xiao and Zhen Mi's sisters, except for one who returned to Shangcai to report the news, are nowhere to be found, and they should have been killed.

They decided to kill someone, but they missed a living mouth, so that someone went back to report it......

Yuan Xu didn't believe that the person who did it would be careless to such a situation.

There is only one explanation!

They deliberately let go of the messenger slave and let Zhen Yi know what happened on the bank of the Cai River!

What is the purpose?

Where is the destination?

"Childe!" The chaotic footsteps stopped not far behind him, and as a person approached, Yuan Xu heard a call.

"What exactly are they trying to do?" Without looking back, Yuan Xu muttered to himself.

"Could it be that Gongzi already has a clue?" Behind him, Zhu Gongdao asked.

Shaking his head, Yuan Xu said: "I have no clue, I can't even see where they want to go......

"This is the bank of the Cai River, robbing Miss Zhen's family, you only need to board the boat......"

"If that's the case, it's easier to do!" Frowning, Yuan Xu said: "A certain county soldier has been ordered to search along the riverbank and check all suspicious boats. ”

I wish justice without saying a word.

What he thought of, Yuan Xu must have thought of!

"I always feel that something is wrong......" twisting the horse's hair in his hand, Yuan Xu frowned and pondered.

"Ma's uncle and nephew led people into Shangcai, and they will also investigate ...... secretly" Zhu Gongdao whispered: "With the ability of the two of them, there are ...... in the city"

"There it is!" His eyes lit up suddenly, Yuan Xu looked back at Zhu Gongdao and said, "Tell everyone, you and I went to save people, and asked them to set up an ambush halfway to ambush the thieves!" ”

"Childe knows where the Zhen sisters are?" After being stunned for a moment, Zhu Gongdao said: "If the thief succeeds, he must flee as soon as possible, how to ambush him?" ”

"All you think about is that they will flee as quickly as possible, and what if they don't leave, but wait for me to leave?" Pointing in the direction of Cai Gou, Yuan Xu said: "The thief must be here!" ”

"If you don't leave, why do you choose to start by the river? And why do you leave the mane of the horse? "I still don't know why, I wish justice to ask again.

"Look!" Handing the mane to Zhu Gongdao, Yuan Xu said: "At first, I thought that they would choose to ride away, but seeing the mane made me wonder!" ”

Taking the mane, Zhu Gongdao took a closer look, and found no abnormality, looking up at Yuan Xu with a blank expression.

"There are hair follicles left at the end of the mane, how can it happen if it falls off on its own?" Pointing to the mane, Yuan Xu said: "This is a thief who deliberately cut it down!" The reason why I don't leave is because there will be pursuers no matter how you leave, so it's better to wait for the search to get farther away, but it's safe! ”

"Since the son is expected to be in Caigou, I will wait for the village to come out!" Zhu Gongdao said: "Why do you have to sneak in? ”

"Everyone entered the village to rob it, and the two young ladies were afraid that they would be more than lucky!" Shaking his head, Yuan Xu said: "What's more, I don't know how many people the enemy has, but there are masters hidden in it, and if you act rashly, the success may not be great!" ”

"How?"

"I don't know the enemy, let's do it!"

Yuan Xu's answer made Zhu Gongdao feel bottomless.

guessed that the Zhen sisters were hiding in Caigou, but they didn't have any information about each other at all!

If they have enough time, they can plan in detail!

However, the Zhen sisters are daughters' families after all, and if they delay for a while, it will be more dangerous!

Neither time nor information is extremely detrimental to them.

Yuan Xu and Zhu Gongdao looked at each other.

From Yuan Xu's eyes, Zhu Gongdao saw confidence and determination.

He didn't know where Yuan Xu's confidence came from, but these eyes made him somewhat sure of sneaking into Cai Gou.

"Wait and listen, set up an ambush two miles outside Caigou to pick up a certain and the county lieutenant!" Zhu Gongdao lowered his voice and gave an order to his men.

The men looked at Yuan Xu together, just waiting for him to lead the team forward!

beckoned, Yuan Xu took the lead and walked out!

A team of dozens of people quietly approached Cai Gou through the night.

No one spoke along the way, and many even held their breath before inhaling a cold evening breeze after a while.

"Childe, I'll go with you!" When he arrived at the ambush place, he could vaguely see the outline of Cai Gou through the night, and a guard whispered to Yuan Xu.

"You wait to set up an ambush here, wait for a certain justice to pass by, if there is a pursuer, intercept it immediately!" Categorically rejecting the guards, Yuan Xu commanded: "Unknown number of thieves, half-way attack and killing is very important, don't be careless!" ”

"No!" Knowing that they couldn't disobey, the four guards had no choice but to respond.

Dozens of men who came here with Zhu Gongdao also hid in hidden places on the side of the road.

After settling everyone, Yuan Xu and Zhu Gongdao glanced at each other, and quickly rushed towards Caigou.

Twenty or thirty steps away from the village, the two of them heard a dog barking from inside the village.

Judging by the sound, there are at least three or more dogs.

Making a gesture to stop, Yuan Xu squatted on the ground, staring at the dark village.

Squatting behind him, Zhu Gongdao clenched the cooked copper rod, and his eyes were unblinking.

"What's it called?" The dog barked tighter and tighter, and an angry roar came from the village.
