There was a fat middle-aged man in the banquet crowd, seeing Zhou Ge Lao leaving in a crowd, he couldn't help but be anxious, and prepared a silver tael to give to Zhou Ge Lao to accompany him, and he planned to send the prepared young girl to Zhou Ge Lao in person after the banquet, but who knew that Zhou Ge Lao actually left early, so his abacus would not be in vain.

If you can climb up to this pavilion boss, you will have a great chance of recovering again. Even if it is difficult to become an official for a while, getting to know a former cabinet elder is also a matter of light! This middle-aged man is as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, no, he must immediately visit the elder of the pavilion, this time he will give all the three thousand taels of silver he wears to Zhou Ge Lao, and then give the carefully selected young girl, I don't believe that Zhou Ge Lao is not moved. This middle-aged man secretly made up his mind!

This middle-aged man is Shi Dayong, the official of Zhishi that Feng Jian and others want to calculate, Shi Dayong Shi, who has been exploited too much in office, and has not made good friends with officials in the DPRK and China, so he was impeached by the imperial history and directly dismissed Zhishi.

Although Zhishi returned to his hometown, he has been looking for an opportunity to become an official again, and when he heard the news that Zhou Ge Lao came to Pingdu Prefecture, Shi Dayong was overjoyed, and this God-given opportunity must not be missed.

So Shi Dayong prepared a generous gift, and selected two of the beautiful maids raised in his own home, and took a team of Ding Xingchong to Pingdu City.

It is more important to have a big birthday than to be an official again, Shi Dayong understands this better than anyone else, as long as he talks to Zhou Ge Lao, even if he doesn't have a big birthday, it doesn't matter.

So he handed over the matter of doing longevity to the housekeeper, and he only waited for three days to rush back from Pingdu City to do longevity.

After a while, Shi Dayong, who was very anxious, finally saw Zhou Ge Lao and presented two silver gifts, and Zhou Ge Lao's face with a wooden expression instantly appeared, encouraging Shi Dayong to study quietly and wait to serve the saint again. But there is no word to help him recover, this old liar himself is in a difficult position, how can he help be reinstated, Shi Dayong's filial piety is in vain!

But Shi Dayong, who was full of illusions in his heart, felt that the future was bright, and sighed that there was no silver in vain, and his future would be relied on in the future.

Satisfied to leave Pingdu City, the entourage of the family rode to escort Shi Dayong's carriage all the way to Taojiataizi Village, thirty miles away, Shi Dayong all the way to the words and deeds of Zhou Ge Lao, recalling the expression of the corner of the mouth twitching when the old man saw the silver on his wooden and rigid face, and secretly praised this is the prime minister's bearing, it can be said that Mount Tai collapsed in front and his face is still twitching, and he will follow suit in the future.

Hu Dadao led Feng Jian and his henchmen to protect thirteen people are hiding in a large dense forest ten miles south of Taojiataizi Village at the moment, thirty steps away from the forest is an official road with a hard soil road, going south to Pingdu, the state city, there are some villages scattered around the official road, and a large area of land around it is barren. The autumn sun was basking on the land, and there was no figure on the official road for half a day, only the forest knew the chirping one after another.

Hu Dadao was a little anxious, and he had been ambushed in the forest for two days, seeing that it was the birthday of Master Shi, but the Shi family's Neiying did not show up at all, and it was an accident or a temporary hexagram, which made people uncertain. Of course, Hu Dadao and others are also on guard at any time against this internal response to bite back.

This side has not been in contact with Neiying, Hu Dadao has already sent a brother to inform Commander Xu of the accident here, and Xu Mabang is also puzzled, it stands to reason that Nei Ying should not make this mistake, is that Nei Ying an accident?

If before Shi Jiashou's birthday, Nei Ying had not been in contact with Hu Dadao and others, then Huluyan had no choice but to cancel this operation, just kidding, with only a group of Zhuanghu people who were not even equipped with weapons and blades, to attack a well-guarded fort, it was simply looking for death!

Originally, the plan agreed by the two sides was that the Shi family was recruiting guards for the walled fort, and Hu Dadao and his party of thirteen young and strong people dressed up as relatives and friends of the Nei Ying to defect to the Shi family as guards, and which one of them should take the thirteen people into the Shi family in this dense forest, but after waiting for more than a day, Hu Dadao looked at the direction of the Shi Jiazhai Fort in the distance, and there was not even a bird on the empty official road.

Hu Dadao and the others were anxious, and scolded in a low voice: "When I arrive, I will know that this internal should be unreliable, and now there is one day when the owner of the Shi family is shou, we can't just think about relying on that internal response, no, we people will come to the door by themselves, presumably the Shi family will not refuse, damn it, the general will hand over the heavy responsibility to me, if it is messed up, my old Hu will not be able to raise his head in the cottage from now on!" ”

Next to Feng Jian was also at a loss, he understood Hu Dadao's anxious mood, Xu Ma Gang valued him and handed over the heavy task to him, but he couldn't do it, although the responsibility was not on him, but he always felt that he had lived up to the trust of Xu Ma Gang.

In terms of cunning and calculation, the sum of the two Feng Jian is not as good as Hu Dadao, an old thief who robs homes and houses all year round, he is at a loss, and he can't think of a way, so he has to accompany him and do it in a hurry.

The other more than a dozen guards are all henchmen of Hu Dadao and Wu Whistle, and they are good at fighting and killing, so don't count on them if you think of a way.

Feng Jian never figured out the situation of that internal response, so he couldn't help but ask Hu Dadao: "What errand did that internal should do in the historian?" ”

Hu Dadao said in a rough voice: "Commander Xu confessed that this person is the small leader of the guards of the Shifu, and he has been picking up waste in the city with Commander Xu in the past. Because of some dirty things, he held a grudge against Master Shi, and took advantage of this Shi Mansion birthday to secretly contact Commander Xu, preparing to overturn the Shi family in one fell swoop, kill Master Shi, and rob the Shi family's goods and materials. ”

As he spoke, he gasped, and hit the trunk of the tree beside him with hatred with his hand and said: "It seems that this person is really not a good bird, even his own master family has betrayed, this kind of person can't be interacted." ”

In this case, Feng Jian and the others had no way at all, and the other guards cursed the faceless Nei Ying for not being trustworthy.

Feng Jian looked at Hu Dadao's irritable appearance, and didn't want to disturb him, turned around and walked towards the edge of the secret, where it was easier to find out if there was anyone to contact.

Walking to the edge of the forest, his eyes unconsciously glanced through the woods to the official road not far away.

I saw a group of people and horses coming from the direction of Pingdu, and there were about twenty guards on horseback, guarding the carriage drawn by the two horses in the middle, and seeing that the guards on those horses were a little listless under the exposure of the autumn sun.

Feng Jian blinked vigorously and saw clearly that there was indeed a team of people passing by, it seemed that it was not a merchant transporting goods, and he hesitated for a while before turning around and walking to Hu Dadao's side, and said in a low voice: "Leader Hu, there is a team of people and horses on the official road, all of them are riding war horses and guarding a carriage!" ”

Hearing this, Hu Dadao quickly jumped up, acting neatly like a tanuki, running to the edge of the woods to observe the people and horses coming from afar.

I saw more than 20 knights divided into front and rear, and a wide carriage in the middle of the guard, slowly moving from south to north.

As the team approached, Hu Dadao saw that the front side of the carriage was covered with bead curtains, swaying left and right as the carriage advanced, and a figure leaning in the carriage could be vaguely seen, and his body swayed slightly as the carriage swayed.

The guards on the horses were dressed in uniform jade-colored cloth silk armor (note), and the victory hooks on horseback were hung with various weapons and blades.

On a hot day, they were already drenched in sweat, the horses under their crotches kept snorting, and the horsetails were impatiently swinging back and forth, and the carriage slowly marched in the direction of Shijiazhai Fort.

There was not even a hint of wind on the sweltering official road, and the sweltering heat made the guards on horseback lose their vigilance.

Thinking about it, in the face of more than 20 heavily armed cavalry guards, the average thief didn't even have the courage to confront it head-on, and more than 20 well-armed knights charged at once, and the thieves who fought their ideas could only accept the fate of being slaughtered. As a result, these horseback guards were a little slack.

Hu Dadao's eyes stared greedily at this team of well-equipped knights, and he spit out "bah" in his mouth, but he thought in his heart that it was a pity that there were few people around him, if there were hundreds of brothers around him, he would directly rush up and directly grab the more than 20 horses.

But now I don't dare to make a casual mistake, looking at the whereabouts of these people, it should be going to Shijia Zhaibao, and there should be some connection with Shijia Zhaibao.

Feng Jian was also carefully looking at the group of horseback guards on the official road, focusing on the guarded carriage, there was only one village in Taojiataizi six or seven miles nearby, looking at the pomp and circumstance of the owner on the carriage, this person's identity was very unusual! Maybe it's for the Shi family's birthday? Maybe it's the more important figure of the historian who went out and returned? Feng Jian thought to himself.

No matter what the identity of the person who comes, looking at the posture of the other party, more than a dozen people on his side can't afford to provoke others, and they can't afford to hide.

Feng Jian and Hu Dadao glanced at each other, each of them saw regret and helplessness in each other's eyes, Hu Dadao slowly shook his head, and waved his hand to beckon Feng Jian and the guards to retreat into the depths of the woods.

The people and horses who came from the official road were Shi Dayong and his party, and they set off from Pingdu City in the morning, and now the team has been walking for nearly two hours, and they can reach home in one hour at most.

It is also a pity that the official road is flat, which is conducive to carriage walking, but in this way, Master Shi still feels that his whole body is bumped, and he is eager to find a place to get off the car and take a breath to rest.

In the carriage, he saw the dense forest and the large shady place in front of the forest from a distance, and after a little hesitation in the carriage, he really felt uncomfortable, so he called Sun Fang, the leader of the leading family, and asked him to take the team down the official road, go to the edge of the woods in front to rest for a while, and it was not too late to go on the road again in the afternoon.

Naturally, the carriage could not get off the official road, so Shi Dayong instructed the family to park the carriage on the side of the official road, and loosen the wheels on the back of the horses pulling the carriage, so that the horses could relax and rest for a while.

Sun Fang specially sent a family member to guard the carriage on the official road, in fact, there was no figure on the official road for half a day, the carriage did not need to be guarded at all, and the carriage had special markings, and there was the carriage that dared to steal the Shifu within a radius of dozens of miles.

The family who was sent to guard the carriage muttered full of resentment, everyone else can enjoy the shade by the forest, but he has to be exposed to the sun under the fierce words, when did he offend Sun Fang?

Sun Fang, the leader of the family, didn't bother to pay attention to this unlucky family guard, he had been very anxious for the past two days, and he didn't know if the undercover agent sent by Huluyan had arrived, so he had agreed to connect in the woods in front of him.

According to the plan, he said yesterday that he should have connected the undercover agent to the Shi family, but he was suddenly ordered to escort Shi Dayong to Pingdu City to do business, and it would take at least a day or two to go back and forth from Shijia Zhaibao to Pingdu City, so that the agreed joint date would definitely be delayed, so Sun Fang has been anxious for the past two days, and has been worried that things will not change.

Fortunately, I rushed back now, and now Shi Dayong wants to go to the shade to rest and enjoy the coolness, if there is no accident, the inner part of Huluyan should hide in this dense forest, but don't be noticed by Master Shi and the family, Sun Fang is worried about Hu Dadao.
