Chapter 616: The Snake's Nest

The group set off overnight, and it was not until dawn the next day that Liu Liniang got the exact information, saying that Wuding Shitai had entered a small county town called Langcheng.

Lang County is a small county town about 100 miles southwest of Chang'an City, and it is also inconspicuous, and the only thing that left an impression on Liu Yu before was that during the drought two years ago, Lang County sheltered tens of thousands of refugees and needed to allocate food for relief. The water conservancy in Benlang County is relatively developed, and even in the event of a severe drought, there are canals and waterways around it to transport water from large rivers. But because Lang County is a semi-mountainous place, it is still very poor, such a mountainous place, Liu Yue can't think of a reason why Master Wuding wants to come.

In order not to expose his hiding, Liu Yu specially asked everyone to change into ordinary clothes and enter the city in batches. In this way, there is no need to alarm the local government, and it is convenient to act.

As soon as the city gate opened in the morning, Liu Yu and Liu Liniang brought some entourage, and they easily crossed the city gate, because the small county town did not come on weekdays, and it was close to the foot of Chang'an City, and there were no mountain bandits, so the county's defense was also very lax. Liu Yu also knew that usually in such a small county town, there are only some soldiers guarding the city gate at most, and if Guanzhong is in an emergency, or the city will spontaneously organize two or three hundred villagers to defend the city.

Liu Yu thought to himself, could this be Su Zhe's stronghold in Guanzhong? This place is not far from Chang'an City, but it is also very inconspicuous, and ordinary people would not think that he would hide in such a small county.

"Li Niang, when you enter the city, can you find your master as soon as possible?"

After entering the city, looking at the scattered people who got up early and some small stalls and vendors around, Liu Yu asked Liu Liniang on the side.

Liu Liniang said: "Why did the master enter the city, the slave family doesn't know. Now I only know that her old man went into the city alone. Where the hell is it. You have to look for it to find out. ”

It seems that the undetermined teacher is already in the twilight of his life in peacetime. But there is no ambiguity at all when he gets on the horse, this night is a hundred miles of road, and the general march cannot reach such a speed, but fortunately, these people under Liu Yu have been trained, and it is a transfer of two horses, so he barely came over overnight. And the indefinite master is one person and one horse, but the speed is not bad at all.

After entering the city, the whereabouts of Master Wu could not be found for the time being. Liu Yu could only arrange for people to check if he could find the horses of the indefinite master, while Liu Liniang wanted to meet with the local intelligence officers in Lang County and ask them about some information. The group temporarily settled in an inn.

So many guests came early in the morning, the inn suddenly became lively, the shopkeeper personally greeted out, and Zhilu Dao is some business trips from Hanzhong to Chang'an City to do business, the shopkeeper is also very enthusiastic, and arranges accommodation for a group of people.

Liu Yu was also a little tired, so he rested in the room for a while, but Liu Liniang never slept. By noon. Liu Yu woke up, and Liu Liniang informed him. There is still no news of the uncertain teacher.

"Could it be that your master's entry into the city was just a pretense, and she found out that she was being followed by you, and then threw off the tracking and went elsewhere?" Liu Yu asked.

Liu Liniang was also nervous, since the morning, she was also afraid that this time it would be a failure. She neither wants Liu Yu to be too an enemy of Wudingshi, nor does she want Wudingshi to be too troublesome, if Wudingshi really wants to get rid of the pursuers, it is very likely that Wudingshi is too bad to do things that are not good for the court, and she doesn't want to be known by her.

"It's fine." Liu Yu patted Liu Liniang on the back, comforted her, and said, "Now that you know that your master has entered the city, there must be important things and people in the city, let's look around, maybe there will be clues." ”

When they arrived, Qu Zhu and other follow-up people also rushed over from Chang'an City one after another, in order not to startle the snake, Liu Yu still did not plan to alarm the government. Qu Zhu not only came in person, but also brought her sister Qu Shu with her, and the Carriage and Horse Gang had rudders in many counties in Guanzhong, and she came here to facilitate the investigation of the internal situation in Lang County from the level of rivers and lakes.

Because this group of people also set off overnight, they were very tired when they came, Liu Yu first met with the Qu Zhu brothers and sisters, roughly understood the situation in Lang County, and then asked them to go to rest first.

"General, subordinate ......"

Qu Zhu still wanted to be strong, but Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "Listen to the order, there may be action tonight, and you can do it with a little spirit." ”

Qu Zhu understood what Liu Yu meant, probably in the evening, there would be a big operation, so he went to rest first. Liu Yu left Qu Shu alone and asked about the gangs in the city.

“…… At the beginning, after the Xingqing Society was swept away by the imperial court, the remaining party fled to some counties in Guanzhong, and then the imperial court encircled and suppressed, so they scattered and formed some small gangs, but secretly, they should all collude with the rebel king......" Qu Shu said in detail, and when it came to the Xingqing Society, Liu Yu also paid special attention to listen.

"After the fall of the rebel king, the Xingqing Society was leaderless, and there were some fights within these small gangs, which made the Xingqing Society fall apart.

Liu Yu nodded and said, "If you are in charge of the troublesome Qu family, contact the brothers in the city first, and let them start with these small gangs to see if there is anything special." ”

Qu Shu nodded, she knew that tonight's action was not hers, Liu Yu was preparing to work, she would inquire first, and then let her rest.

"Lord Wang, sometimes you are still quite inconsiderate." After finishing business, before Qu Shu parted, he pursed his lips and said with a smile.

Jianghu people are also generous in their speech. Liu Yu was not surprised, but smiled, feeling that what she said made some sense.

Liu Yu actually didn't understand whether Qu Shu was saying that he was not considerate enough to Li Sha'er, or was he to her.

"If you have Lao Qu in charge, turn back, the imperial court will definitely give some help to the chariot and horse gang, so that you can develop and grow." Liu Yu made a promise.

Qu Shu said with a smile: "The prince still doesn't promise yet, in the future, if the chariot and horse gang are involved with the imperial court, then the chariot and horse gang will not be far from destruction." The brothers of the Che Ma Gang are not too close to the imperial court. ”

Liu Yu thought to himself, this Qu Shu is still very knowledgeable, and he knows that the Tao is once a son of heaven and a courtier. Gangs like the Che Ma Gang can stand on the rivers and lakes for decades or hundreds of years, not only relying on the hard work of these leaders and brothers, but also to deal with the relationship with all parties, they will not get close to the imperial court, but they are afraid of being involved in the political whirlpool of the imperial court. It's like the Xingqing Society, which was once the largest gang in Chang'an City, but because it involved King Huai, it was exterminated by the imperial court without hesitation. The Carriage and Horse Gang is afraid of following in the footsteps of the Xingqing Society.

Liu Yu would not be embarrassed, and personally sent Qu Shu out, and Qu Shu also went directly to investigate the local situation, because Lang County was not very important in Guanzhong County, so that whether it was the imperial court, Qu Zhu's intelligence organization, or Liu Liniang's intelligence organization, and the Che Ma Gang, they didn't know much about this place. When I arrived in Lang County, it was as if I was blind, and my eyes were black.

By dusk, there was still no news, and Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a little upset. This has been searching for a whole day, and it can be said that all the resources that can be mobilized have been mobilized, unless it is that the indefinite master is too winged to fly, otherwise as long as she is in the county, she will definitely be found. Liu Yu thought to himself, if there was no news at night, then he could only mobilize the local government and rely on these local snakes to launch a search. But in this way, the snake was also frightened.

At dusk, Lian Husheng suddenly brought a thin boy over, and when he saw the boy, he felt that he should be the kind of gangster in the market, who was very tactful. The person is not big, he is clever, and a pair of eyes are rolling around recently.

"Who?" Liu Yu pointed to the young man and asked Lian Husheng.

"The boss, this is the man we found on the street, it is said that he is a jack of all trades in the city, and you can get answers to everything by asking him."

Liu Yu smiled, this Lang County is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, such a kid actually dares to call himself a jack of all trades?

"Where did you find it?"

"There was a fight in the street, and after the fight, he actually came to steal, and we took it, and he said that he knew the Tao......"

Not only is he a gangster, but he is also a thief, but he is nothing, such a teenager, any county in Guanzhong is a big handful, the two years of war have been endless, many people are homeless, and there are many displaced people. And natural and man-made disasters, in these years, it is difficult for the imperial court to take into account all aspects.

There is another reason, those who can't afford to support them in these years, and those who have children and diseases, are generally abandoned before they are sensible. Huo Yi and the Three Tigers and Four Tigers are the representatives of orphans in Guanzhong.

"What's it called?" Liu Yu looked at the young man and asked.

"No name, whatever you want to call. Did I say that you didn't arrest me and go to the government, and you were willing to give some money to spend? ”

Liu Yu pursed his lips and sneered: "Then it depends on whether you know the Dao." Let me ask you, today, do you know that there is an old nun in the Dao, or someone like the old Taoist aunt, riding into the city on horseback? ”

The young man shook his head: "I haven't seen it." ”

"I'm afraid, you don't have any money to make." Liu Yudao.

The young man shouted: "If you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it, I never lie to people." In the past two days, the old nun has not been in the county, but there is an old woman, seventy or eighty years old with a rather handsome little granddaughter, that look, quite fierce...... The sixth year on our street went up to touch the handsome girl, but she slapped her until she vomited blood, do you say it's unusual? ”

Liu Yu glanced at Liu Liniang, who was sitting on the side, but saw that Liu Liniang was also looking at him.

Although I don't know where Master Lu Dao Wuding is now, the old woman and her granddaughter are like Liu Liniang's junior sister and her junior sister's apprentice. If this is the truth, then the purpose of the indefinite master to come to Langcheng is self-evident, he is here for the book of heaven and the disciples who are not angry.

Liu Yu smiled and said: "This is a bit interesting, there are such strange things in the world, what else do you know about them?" ”

"There are not many people who know the Tao, we have discussed in the past few days, to find the chick for revenge, but it really can't work, so we tied up the old woman and forced the chick to let us touch it alone. The chick is so fierce, the old woman must be the kind who will die after two blows. How about it, can this news be changed to a little big flower? ”

Liu Yu asked Lian Husheng to take out a silver ingot and said, "If you can help us find those two people, this silver is yours." We'll do it for you...... Big six brothers, revenge. ”

The young man snorted and said, "Then, a word is a certainty!" (To be continued......)
