Despite the morning episode, the afternoon survey drill continued. However, for safety reasons, the distance between the flags was not too far apart in the afternoon, and it was agreed to take care of each other. Also, in order to avoid new misunderstandings, the surveying and mapping work was only carried out on the hilly slopes, avoiding the fields of large households.

Chen Dao just hummed and didn't say anything about all these arrangements, as if he was really just a soy sauce beater. Su Hao couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he simply pretended to be naïve, and really responded to all changes with the same.

In the middle of the afternoon, Chen Dao finally came to Su Hao, and he said to Su Hao: "Change, let's finish the exercise here today, and we will set off tomorrow to continue down the river." Xiong Ji and Xu Guangqi are going in the opposite direction of us, Xiong Ji is going to Nanchang Mansion, Xu Guangqi is said to have listened to your invitation and is going to Fengcheng, do you know about this? ”

Su Hao nodded and said, "I already know that they plan to set off with us tomorrow, but we are going north, and they are going south." ”

Chen Dao said: "Today's matter, we have clearly offended this Wu Yuanwai, but he is silent, I am worried about what he will do." If they come to us, we are an army after all, and there are many ways to deal with it. But if they can't help us, and turn to the bad luck of Xiong and Xu, won't we be burdened with friends? ”

Chen Dao woke up the dreamer with a word, and Su Hao suddenly said: "I ignored this matter, according to Brother Chen's opinion, what should I do?" ”

Chen Daodao: "In my opinion, you can send a small flag soldier to escort the two of them to leave immediately and go to Nanchang Mansion to stay." Although I don't know who Wu Yuan is, I can't reach out to Nanchang Mansion if I want to. After our small flag sergeant sent them to us, he would chase after us on a civilian boat, and the ships on the Gan River would come and go, and Wu Yuan would not know that there were any of us among them. ”

"What Brother Chen said is very true, and the younger brother will arrange it." Su Hao said.

Xiong Ji already knew about Chen Dao's arrangement, and when Su Hao found him, he pretended to be polite, and then hurriedly packed up his things. Xu Guangqi was a little surprised by this arrangement, but when he heard Su Hao, he was also a little scared, so he hurriedly ran to pack his luggage and left Qiaosheyi with Xiong Ji.

Su Hao asked Chen Guanyu to hire a small boat on the dock, and sent a soldier with a small flag to escort Xiong and Xu. Since Chen Guanyu gave a lot of silver, the boat boss patted his chest and assured Su Hao that before dark, he would definitely be able to send the two ministers to Nanpu Station, where Nanchang Mansion was located.

"Brother Xiong, Brother Xu, let's separate here." On the dock, Su Hao bowed his hands to Xiong and Xu.

Xu Guangqi said: "Thank you for your care, after Guangqi arrives in Nanchang tonight, he will leave for Fengcheng early tomorrow morning, and then wait for Changzhi to return from Yunnan in Fengcheng." ”

Xiong Ji smiled and said, "Brother Changzhi, I also plan to go to Fengcheng, are you welcome?" ”

Su Hao said: "When Brother Xiong goes to Fengcheng, be sure to inform the younger brother in advance, and the younger brother will go out of the city for ten miles to greet him." ”

Xiong Ji said: "I did something in Nanchang, and then I went to Fengcheng, before and after these ten days, can you rush back from Yunnan?" ”

"This ......" Su Hao was stunned, he thought that Xiong Ji's words about going to Fengcheng were just polite words, who would have thought that Xiong Ji really had this heart, and he was going to go soon. He wondered, "Does Brother Xiong also have a deal in Fengcheng?" ”

Xiong Ji said: "It's really not enough friends to change it, I heard Chen Dao and Zi talk about it first, and I knew that I had done so many things in Fengcheng, coal, phosphate fertilizer, glass, telescopes, all of which were things that could make a lot of money, and I was the only one who was able to make a lot of money." ”

"Uh...... Brother Xiong doesn't want to do this business, does he? Su Hao said.

Xiong Ji said: "Since ancient times, the nature of businessmen has been to pursue profits. Brother Fool is a businessman, so he naturally pursues profit. I heard that Gaizhi had made so many good things, and the foolish brother salivated, and he was about to take advantage of Gaizhi's absence to buy them at a cheap price and sell them in Zhejiang. Gaizhi sent troops to send me to Nanchang Mansion, so that the foolish brother was moved, and it was only then that he made it clear to Gaizhi. ”

"Haha, I see." Su Hao said with a smile, of course he knew that Xiong Ji's words were just a joke, but the willingness to cooperate revealed was real.

It turned out that Chen Dao and Xu Guangqi both told Xiong Ji about Su Hao's invention and creation, and Xiong Ji himself saw the telescope used by the Kanyu Camp with his own eyes, and immediately discovered the huge business opportunities hidden in this product. He had originally planned to take advantage of tonight's time to talk to Su Hao about cooperation, but now that the situation has changed, for safety reasons, he must leave Qiaoshe Town in advance, so he had to mention this matter on the dock.

"If Brother Xiong is interested in the little brother's gadgets, even if you negotiate with the shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper of my Su family's firm, you can negotiate whatever price you want, and the little brother will have nothing to say." Su Hao said. The two shopkeepers of the firm are Lu Xiuer and Su Xiaohu, both of whom are Su Hao's trustworthy people, and they should not let themselves suffer losses when they talk about business with Xiong Ji.

Xiong Ji said: "Brother Fool heard that the replacement son wrote two letters of recommendation first, but when he came to me, didn't he even write a letter of recommendation?" Do you think that the foolish brother is a businessman, and the smell of copper is unbearable? ”

"How dare you." Su Hao said repeatedly, "If Brother Xiong needs a recommendation, the junior brother will write it to you immediately." ”

So, Su Hao stood on the dock and hurriedly wrote another letter to Lu Xiu'er, explaining that Xiong Ji had introduced the past by himself, and asked Lu Xiu'er to discuss cooperation with Xiong Ji at the usual business price. Xiong Ji put away the letter, thanked Su Hao, and then got on the boat with Xu Guangqi and headed straight to Nanpu Station.

Seeing off Xiong and Xu made Su Hao feel a lot more relaxed. Now no matter what tricks Wu Yuanwai has to make, he has no burden. There are more than 100 people in the survey camp, even if this Wu member is a local tyrant, can he still get more guards to come to provoke?

The afternoon survey ended peacefully, and everyone in the survey camp returned to the temporary camp, lit a fire, cooked, and prepared to rest. Hao Tong walked around the outside of the camp, and came back to report to Su Hao: "Su Baihu, there are more eyeliners around our camp, it seems that Wu Yuanwai is still thinking about us." ”

"yes, take me to see it." Su Hao responded.

Hao Tong led Su Hao to the edge of the camp, Su Hao followed his instructions, and sure enough, he saw some idlers hanging around on the side of the street, under the trees, etc. They had nothing to do, pretending to be passing by or setting up stalls, but their eyes were frequently fixed in the direction of the survey camp. Hao Tong had been a scout in the army, and his eyes were very poisonous, so he could immediately see that these people were not good.

"Damn, what does this surnamed Wu want to do?" Su Hao muttered.

Hao Tong said: "According to the guess of his subordinates, he should be looking for help." The helper hasn't arrived yet, so he's going to send someone to keep an eye on us in case we don't leave. ”

"Will he still collude with strongmen to come to us for trouble?" Su Hao asked.

Hao Tong shook his head and said: "It's not that much, colluding with strongmen to frame officers and soldiers is really a big crime of rebellion." This Wu should be a person with a family and a job, so he would not be so extreme. ”

"So what helper can he find?" Su Hao asked again.

Hao Tong said: "Looking at the opponent's position, maybe I want to wait for someone from the official office to handle this matter." ”

"We didn't do anything wrong, and the government couldn't help us." Su Hao said, "Regardless of him, let's eat when we should eat, sleep when we should sleep, and wait for him to make a move, let's see each other again." ”

Hao Tong hugged his fists and said: "The last general also has this intention, but he is just worried that Su Baihu is not at ease." ”

When it came to the war, Su Hao thought that his experience was not as sufficient as Hao Tong and Deng Kui, so he simply handed over the power to them and asked them to arrange duty and other matters. Hao Tong was a meticulous person, on the one hand, he ordered the soldiers of the survey camp to rest as usual and not to be caught off guard, and on the other hand, he arranged several layers of secret posts to strictly guard the camp in case of accidents.

Su Hao and the others still live in the post house, and they don't have to worry about their own safety. If Tolerance is attacked in the post house, it will be a big deal, and I believe that a local snake like Yu Yi will not allow this kind of thing to happen.

The night passed peacefully. The next morning, Su Hao and Chen Dao left the post house and returned to the camp, where Hao Tong reported to them that the people around the camp had not been evacuated the night before, but there had been no further action. This situation makes Su Hao feel that his heart is not steady, think about it, he has offended people, and people are not in a hurry to come to the door to find trouble, but arrange for the next group of people to stare at you next to you, what kind of feeling is this.

"Chief Chen, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Su Hao asked Chen Dao for instructions.

Chen Dao said: "Since this Wu Yuanwai has refused to show up for a long time, there is no need for us to wait for him." After breakfast, let's set off as planned. I guess he should be in a hurry when he sees us set off, otherwise, as soon as we leave this Qiaosheyi, who else can he go to? ”

"This old guy is really calm." Su Hao muttered.

Chen Dao said with a smile: "Change it, you can remember it in the future, so that you can restrain your soldiers and don't make trouble." You see, we're all scared birds now. ”

Su Hao sighed: "How can I hide from this if I don't want to cause trouble?" ”

The survey camp began to set off, and when they saw the soldiers collecting their tents, the people who were watching not far away moved. They got together and consulted with each other, and then a few people hurried away, presumably to go back to report the news. The rest of the group remained where they were, continuing to observe the movements of the camp.

Su Hao decided not to give the other party time to react, he ordered everyone to speed up and do everything according to the wartime requirements. In less than half an hour, the soldiers of the Kanyu camp had already packed up all their things, and the embroidery girls who lived in the post house also came out. Su Hao gave an order, and the team walked towards the dock in a mighty manner.
