Several carts creaked and walked in the uninhabited wilderness, and on the luxury carriage in the middle, Wu Lao Er looked at the surrounding scenery boredly through the window, and at the same time couldn't help but slander Liu Jin's arrangement.

Yesterday, Jinyi Wei gathered, and Liu Jin arranged a plan to assassinate the Black Jade Kingdom. The assassination plan was beyond Wu Laoer's imagination, and each of the above commanded had a goal, and a total of twenty-three people needed to be assassinated. Each person leads his own men, and each component infiltrates in a different way.

Wu Laoer's identity at this time was the young owner of a medicine merchant surnamed Yining in Bai Yuguo, and he deliberately followed the convoy to Huaiyang Mansion in Heiyu Country to do business. The one who received the goods was the medicine store under the Pei family, the largest family in the Black Jade Country over there, and Wu Laoer's target was Pei Ye, the prefect of Huaiyang. Therefore, Wu Lao Er is now dressed as a rich young master, sitting in a luxurious and impractical carriage, followed by a convoy of six or seven carts.

Since the Pei family is the largest family in the Black Jade Country, it is deeply rooted in the Black Jade Country, and both officialdom and shopping malls have a power that cannot be underestimated. Wu Laoer, the young owner, went this way to reach a long-term partnership on behalf of the Ning family and Huaiyang Mansion, so someone with identity must come.

Wu Laoer's identity and mission objectives were all written on a small note and handed to him, and no one else could know. And Wu Lao Er doesn't know who other people's targets are and how to infiltrate, this is to avoid exposing the plan by someone who is caught and caught. Everyone entered different places in the Black Jade Country in batches with different identities, and Wu Lao Er was both lucky and unlucky. Fortunately, Huaiyang is also a large city, with a large number of people, so it is better to run if there is any accident. Unfortunately, Huaiyang is one of the important bases of the Pei family, and if there is not enough time to get out after the assassination, it will fall into the siege of many Pei family masters.

"Young master, after such a long journey, it is better to eat something at the tea shop in front of you, and wait for a break before leaving."

It was Duan Tianbao who was dressed as a guard. Wu Lao Er opened the curtain of the carriage to look at the sun in the sky, and said lifelessly: "Brother Ning said let's rest, how long will it take to get to Huaiyang Mansion?" ”

At this time, Duan Tianbao, who was called Ning Yi, said with a bitter face: "Young Master, it's just past noon, and it will take more than two hours to arrive, if you are bored, you might as well come out and ride a horse." ”

Wu Lao Er pouted and said, ", have you ever seen a young master like this young master who rides a horse like a subordinate like a subordinate?" I can't let go of running, I'm shaking like you, and I'll get hemorrhoids sooner or later. ”

Duan Tianbao looked around and whispered: "Actually, it's not impossible to let the horse run for a while, but you have to be accompanied by your subordinates, so let's wait for the convoy in front." ”

"Bad idea, this mission is not trivial, try not to make extraneous branches. It's not good to run into something along the way that people pay attention to, tell Ning San in front, let's take a break in the tea shop, everyone has to eat something and drink some hot tea, and we have to hurry, try not to delay. ”

Watching Duan Tianbao beat his horse and run forward, Wu Lao Er put down the curtain, lay in the carriage with the hand stove in his arms, and read a book casually. This is also the only way to pass the time in ancient times, it stands to reason that the young master of the big family should follow the girl when he travels. It's just that Wu Lao Er is not used to it on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is also afraid that if he misses something, he will not arrange such a person. Now Wu Lao Er regrets his death, if there is a little girl here, she will have frozen hands while reading a book, hum, it is said that in ancient times, there was a rule for the old man and young master to put his hand into the maid's clothes and put it on his chest to warm his hands? It's beautiful just to think about! Even if you can't do that, even if it's in your arms. That scene, that fragrant, that comfortable, envy the gang of horseback riders outside.

Wu Lao Er was bored, and then the carriage suddenly slowed down, thinking that the tea shop had arrived. This fresh Young Master Ning didn't wait for his subordinates to come to help, so he jumped out of the carriage and walked into the tea shop first.

The driver of the cart loosened the horse and pulled it aside to feed the fodder. Some of the guards took out dry food to prepare a cushion for their stomachs. All the coachmen and guards on this trip were hired, and they didn't know the details of Wu Laoer, and they only heard that it was the young owner of the Ning family in the capital.

Wu Lao Er led Duan Tianbao, Zhang San, and Yuan Hai into the tea shop, and Zhang San shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, bring the best pot of tea for our young master, and a few more big pots for those guards and coachmen." Do you have anything to eat? ”

When the shopkeeper of the tea shop saw that the business came to the door, and it was a big customer, he couldn't close his mouth happily, and replied loudly: "The tea will come soon, and the guest officer will wait a moment." There is still high-quality mutton in our shop, and the dim sum is only steamed buns, how much do the guest officers need? ”

Zhang San looked back and said, "Four steamed buns per person, a pot of hot tea, and two catties of mutton per table!" He asked Wu Lao Er again: "Young master, you?" ”

Wu Lao Er sat at a table, looking at the greasy table with disgust, "It's the same as everyone, you can't pay so much attention when you go out, you three sit with Young Master Ben, have more meat, and mutton soup too." ”

"I heard that there was no shopkeeper, come according to our young master's orders!"

The shopkeeper responded with a smile on his face, "Okay, four steamed buns per person, a bowl of mutton soup, two catties of mutton per table, and ten catties of nobles here!" Coming soon! ”

"Hey, what a smart shopkeeper, you can do more business than Young Master Ben." Wu Lao Er looked at the shopkeeper of the tea shop in surprise, seized the loophole in his words, and opened his mouth to earn more than a dozen bowls of sheep soup money.

Six big cars, six coachmen, six guards, plus Wu Lao Er and four people, this is not a small deal for the owner of the tea shop.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "There are a lot of sons, and the work of his subordinates is not hard." The villain has his own coarse grain muddy wine here, and he will give you a pot, no money! ”

Wu Lao Er smiled and said: "How can I take advantage of you, we will have a pot at each of the four tables, so that the big guys can taste it, and we will not delay the journey." ”

The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly: "Son, forgive me, this wine is only a pot, it was many days ago." The villain's tea shop is full of people coming and going, and there are few people drinking. ”

Wu Lao Er didn't have much to do with the shopkeeper, and just in time for the things they wanted to be brought up, he waved his hand to let him go down. At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves on the road outside, but the vicinity of the tea shop slowed down, and only someone could be heard shouting: "Chief, rest here for a while, drink hot tea and then hurry." ”

"All right, brothers, get off the horse and rest! Eat something before you go. ”

As soon as the words fell, the door curtain was lifted, and Wu Lao Er squinted at it, and sighed in his heart, 'What a big man'! The man who led the way in was tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, a full beard, and a swarthy face. He wears a brass armor and carries a long knife at his waist. Three people came in one after another, all dressed similarly, and at first glance, a few people were from the army. Several people were covered with Sensen's murderous aura, and when they saw it, they knew that they were from the pile of killed people. Wu Lao Er secretly gave Duan Tianbao and the others a look, and in order to avoid any accidents, several people sped up their meals.

Four big men sat at a table next to Wu Lao Er, and one of them shouted: "The shopkeeper cut ten catties of cooked mutton, and then make a few pots of wine, hurry up, we will have to hurry in a while!" ”

The shopkeeper trotted to the front and said slightly apologetically: "A few military masters, forgive me, there are still a few catties of meat, and the wine is gone, so how many people will give you a pot of hot tea to warm up?" ”

The person who shouted just now pointed to the wine jug in front of Wu Lao Er and shouted, "Bullying Lao Tzu has no money, right?" That's not wine? ”

The shopkeeper said cautiously: "That's the last pot, there is really no wine, Master Jun, you bear with me, bear with me." ”

In this world, there is nothing more difficult to mess with than the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes and the ruffians in the army. Both of these are the owners who have nothing to do and want to find something to do, and the shopkeeper knows the urine nature of this kind of person, and apologizes vigorously in his speech. Wu Lao Er, in line with the principle that more things are better than less things, bowed his head and ate meat without saying a word, which inevitably provoked the man to find trouble, and he didn't even drink wine.

The leader said: "Okay, second, let's eat something and go on the road, there are still important things to do, and it's just right to have no wine." ”

"Boss, it's not like you don't know my temperament, and nothing tastes good if you don't eat anything without wine. It's really unlucky, and he actually called a little white face to grab the last one. ”

The man who called the second child spoke very politely, and he didn't put Wu Lao Er and his party in his eyes, Wu Lao Er wore a smooth and smooth coat, a coat sewn from fur, calfskin boots, and a wrench on his hand.

Duan Tianbao and the three of them heard the man's sneering at their superiors, and they all sat up straight, and only waited for Wu Lao Er to give an order, and then drew a knife and slashed people. Although this is definitely not going to be able to carry out the task anymore, but the adults of their own family have been humiliated, and as a subordinate, they have to make a statement, and even the few guards hired, although they frowned and didn't want to cause this kind of trouble, they also maintained the state before the shot. If their employer asks them to do it, they can't be ambiguous, and they have to do a job for a penny.

Wu Lao Er must be angry in his heart, but the task is important. As the leader of this group, he had to be able to suppress things. After drinking half a bowl of mutton soup, Wu Lao Er wiped the hot sweat on his head, looked up and said, "Hurry up and eat, eat well and hurry!" As he spoke, he lowered his head and took a big bite to eat, and the three of Duan Tianbao continued to eat as they said, and even a few guards breathed a sigh of relief. No one wants to provoke these guys who come down from the battlefield, they are all blanks killed among tens of thousands of people, and they are hard under their hands.

One of the four people saw that Wu Lao Er and the others didn't dare to talk, and laughed and said: "Eat your meat, Wu Er, when can you quit this alcohol addiction, Lao Tzu will invite you to a little peach for a month!" ”

"Ahem, poof!" Without waiting for the man to answer, Wu Lao Er coughed and spit out a mouth full of mutton, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, Wu Lao Er wiped his mouth in embarrassment, and said to Duan Tianbao and the others: "It's okay, it's choking." As he spoke, he picked up the wine jug in front of him, turned to the table of the four and said, "This brother who is good at wine is called Wu Er?" ”

The four big men all stared at Wu Lao Er, not knowing what he meant, that is, Duan Tianbao and the others didn't know which one this fight was singing.

"Huh?" The man who was good at wine touched his head, squinted his eyes and said, "What? This little boy still wants to invite me to drink? ”

"Heh......" Wu Lao Er stood up and said with a smile: "As soon as I heard your name, I felt that I fell in love, and there is still half a pot of wine in this pot of junior brother, if the brother doesn't dislike it, I will respect you as the younger brother." ”

The man named Wu Er saw that Wu Lao Er was young and spoke very old-fashioned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but it was the leading man who spoke: "I don't know the surname of the son, my brother was offended by what he said just now." But Childe gave wine for no reason, so we have to know why. ”

"This eldest brother doesn't need to see outside, and the younger brother has said that he is a match, and he has no other intentions." After a pause, he said in a tangled manner: "In the next surname Ning, Ning Zhongze's is it." Go to Huaiyang Mansion to talk about pen business, meet on the side of the road here is also fate, this half pot of wine will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, give it to you. ”

Anyway, what is the name of the kid in the Ning family in the capital is not good, but he is actually called this. Although Wu Lao Er admired that Ning Nuxia at the beginning, his name was weird, and he always felt that he was missing something. At this time, when I signed up, I was not very comfortable.

Several big men glanced at each other, and Wu Er said with a big grin: "Let it go, let's meet in Pingshui, I won't say thank you." ”

Wu Lao Er indifferently put the wine jug in front of Wu Er, looked at him and smiled, and sat back in his seat.

When everyone had almost eaten, Duan Tianbao Zhang Luo Cheman's escort set off, and Wu Lao Er hugged his fists to the four big men before leaving. After driving out of the road, Duan Tianbao jumped into the carriage and asked, "I don't know what the meaning of the adults giving wine to those rough men?" ”

"The deep meaning is no, but those four people are not ordinary soldiers passing by, they should have a mission on their bodies, and they are probably sending letters or passing on military information."

Duan Tianbao pretended to be puzzled and said, "How did the adults see it?" The subordinates saw that they were no different from ordinary soldiers. ”

Wu Lao Er looked at Duan Tianbao and smiled: "Old Duan, you are naughty again, I don't believe you can't see their origins." ”

Duan Tianbao said without any embarrassment: "The subordinates have some guesses, but they don't know if it's right or not, and I ask you for your advice." Seeing that Wu Lao Er made a gesture of speaking, he continued: "These people came from the west, and they looked in the direction as if they were coming from the front line. And everyone has a murderous aura, they should have fought on the battlefield. If it is really like what the adults said is to send a letter or intelligence, it should be that there is an urgent military situation on the front line that needs to be decided by the rear. But Qin Yang, a traitor, has a high position and power in the Black Jade Country, and he is also a concubine, and everything on the battlefield can be decided in a word, but he doesn't know what a big deal is, and Qin Yang can't call the shots. ”

Wu Lao Er nodded and said, "That's right, and these people are quite vigilant." But it's easy to know what they're about......"

"What do you mean, sir?"

"That's right, let's secretly find a place to ambush in a while, and wait for them to come over and take advantage of the situation."

Duan Tianbao hurriedly dissuaded: "My lord, think twice, no matter what major military situation they are, we can't make up our minds, otherwise our identities will be exposed when we check them." At that time, not to mention our mission, even our lives, I'm afraid we will have to throw them here. ”

"It's not as serious as you say, find an easy place to ambush, and they won't think that someone will attack them. It's just that it's hard to catch a car, and there's no way to avoid the driver's sight. He couldn't hear us talking here, but if he sneaked out of the window, he would feel wrong. Or will it be convenient to talk about it in a moment? ”

Duan Tianbao couldn't understand Wu Laoer's thoughts, and said resolutely: "My lord, it is difficult for my subordinates to obey their orders. It doesn't matter if the lives of your subordinates are small, you have already decided to hand them over to adults, but your life is worth it, my lord! We still have to carry out the mission, if we have to ambush those people, I'm afraid the mission will not be able to proceed. Just go back like this, punishment is indispensable, and if you can't say that the one above is in a bad mood, you can wipe it for us. ”

Wu Lao Er said: "No, it's just that such a task has not been completed, and it is not enough to cut off the head." If any major military information is really found, maybe there will be a reward. At that time, Huaiyang Mansion will not have to go, and the province will take that risk. ”

Duan Tianbao scratched his head and said, "My lord, we really don't need to do this. If the assassination is well arranged, it will not be too risky. If you move those four people, run away. And the subordinates don't understand, even if there is any major military information, it has nothing to do with us, why do you have to do this, this is not, this is not ......"

Duan Tianbao didn't continue, but Wu Lao Er knew that what he was going to say was 'nothing to do'.

Wu Lao Er frowned and thought for a while, and said slowly: "Actually, as long as you are careful, it's not impossible, but like you said, it's too suspicious." There is only this road here, and the people who come and go are all merchants, and if something happens to them, it is easy for them to suspect us, which is a bit dangerous...... But old Duan, if I don't kill that kid, I will have to feel uncomfortable all the time. ”

"Huh?" Duan Tianbao asked in confusion, "What did the adults say that they were not inferior?" ”

"It's a trivial matter to be disrespectful, and patience will pass." In Duan Tianbao's curiosity, Wu Lao Er said meaningfully: "There is always a sense of fate, and it feels like his thoughts are not accessible if he is not killed!" ”

"Fate...... Duan Tianbao had a look of seeing a neuropathy, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that mutton is poisonous?" What about nonsense? ”

At this moment, there was a whistling sound of fast horses running from behind, and Wu Lao Er and Duan Tianbao subconsciously stopped speaking. When the sound of horses' hooves sounded next to the carriage where Wu Lao Er was, there was laughter outside, and one person shouted: "Thank you brother for the wine, wait for me Wu Lao Er to give you a ride as a thank you!" And the scolding of the leading man.

Wu Lao Er's sentence of 'shitting' has not yet come out, but he heard the two whips of "pop, pop", and then there was the painful neighing of the two horses pulling the cart, and then the two horses ran forward frantically as if they had been stabbed twice in the buttocks, regardless of the coachman's drinking. Wu Lao Er and Duan Tianbao who were sitting in the car desperately grabbed the whirlpool in the carriage, and at this time, Wu Lao Er's heart had 10,000 grass and mud horses whistling by.

Duan Tianbao nervously propped himself up, looked at Wu Lao Er opposite, and guessed maliciously in his heart: "Could it be that this is the fate in the mouths of adults, both of them are particularly mentally abnormal." ”

With a relatively large bump, Duan Tianbao sat on the pen holder used to place the brush in the carriage. Feeling the pleasure coming from his buttocks, Duan Tianbao blushed and scolded in his heart: "The fate of going to Nima!! ”
