"yes,"

With the master waking up in time, Diao Saburo lost no time in taking over the conversation and continued,

"This grandmaster of our county has personally gone to explore the place where the gang of thieves are entrenched, Pingliang Village, and the bright and dark entry and exit routes there, we can divide into two roads, one way directly to their lair, and the other way to the secret route that they are likely to use to escape."

"Zong, Master?"

Sobra nodded, and turned his smiling gaze to Zong Jiyuan again,

"Ji Yuan, didn't you say that you are the master in charge of money and food? Why did he become a master again, and he still took care of the errand and handled the case and went to personally investigate the thief? ”

"Who said that the master Bo can't be the master at the same time?"

Zong Jiyuan retorted angrily and funny,

"Who said that the master can't go and investigate the case in person? Now the focus is on the elimination of the thieves in the East Mountain Valley, what are you doing with so many other things? ”

The sudden conversation between the two of them made everyone a little stunned, and Diao Sanlang, who had not been able to witness the scene when the two of them met outside the city gate, was even more puzzled, surprised how Zong Jiyuan dared to talk to the young general like this, and involuntarily and slightly uneasily screamed,

"Ji Yuan, why are you ......?"

"Ah, Major General,"

In fact, he had already seen that his master and the young general should be old acquaintances, so He Ruichang opened his mouth to explain,

"Do you know, although our grandmaster is a civilian, since he took office, he has often presided over the investigation of the case, and now he is the main assistant of this official in handling the case."

"yes, there is such a thing......

Hearing this, Sobra suddenly showed a very interested and happy expression, and said,

"So, in the course of the operation of this case, you will definitely participate in Ji Yuan?"

"yes, I can be a guide,"

Zong Jiyuan said expressionlessly,

"Because I know the light and dark roads where those thieves are entrenched, you can take people along the bright road, and I and the third brother Diao will take the brothers in the yazhong to guard the dark road that should be used to escape."

"That's ......"

Sobra's eyes turned,

"You are the guide, but you have gone with your own men, so who will show us the way?"

"Okay, who are you trying to fool?"

Zong Jiyuan sneered, mercilessly "exposing" his lies,

"Didn't you send eyeliner in the Admiral's Mansion a long time ago? Then Changping will not show you the way? ”

"Constant, peaceful...... Who is it? ”

Sobra was stunned, and turned to look at the deputy general next to him, Lang Yongkuan.

Lang Yongkuan showed a smile that couldn't help but think, and said,

"Major General, why did you forget? Isn't it the permanent lieutenant general under the Admiral? ”

"Oh, oh, it's him!"

Sobra suddenly realized,

"It turns out that the eyeliner is him, no wonder I haven't seen that guy for a while, but, Ji Yuan, when Changping sent us a few maps with pigeons, one of them didn't come back, so the map was incomplete, and the drawings on it were still very messy, I was worried that we would go the wrong way and delay things with just those few pieces of paper."

"That's it, that's easy to do, we still have a guide in this county office,"

While speaking, Zong Jiyuan said to Ke Yi, who was waiting beside him,

"Brother Ke, please go and find Wang Yu and Wang Yishi here."

"Hmm."

Ke Yi agreed, turned and left.

Sobra looked at the figure who was walking out and asked,

"Ji Yuan, who are you going to look for?"

"Wang Yishi is the head of a dart game,"

Zong Jiyuan explained to him very seriously and seriously,

"Although he is not from our public family, he has the same bitter hatred for the thieves in the East Mountain Valley. And his own martial arts are also very strong, in the case, has been helping us a lot, this time when the official went to explore the thief's lair, if it was not for Wang Yishi to assist, I am afraid it will not be successful. At the same time, like me, he had a good grasp of the situation there, and was a very reliable man, who could be a guide for the major general. ”

"I—I'm not ......"

As she said so much in one breath, Sobra's face became more and more strange, and when she finally finished speaking, she couldn't help but laugh and cry,

"I'm not asking you this...... I want to know, can't you let the righteous man you mentioned be a guide for the servants of the county government, and you will lead us along the way? ”

"Of course not,"

Zong Jiyuan still has a serious and categorical face,

"First of all, the garrison officer army is under the command of your three generals, and you can formulate strategies at any time, and the brothers on our county government side must be led by me and Diao Zhutou, and the lower officials must be the guide at the same time, and they must make decisions together with Diao Sange according to the changes in the situation at any time."

"First of all?"

Sobra listened helplessly, and said casually,

"Is there a second thing?"

"Of course there is,"

When he asked, Zong Jiyuan really continued to talk endlessly,

"Secondly, Wang Yishi's martial arts are fierce and strong, and he is good at fighting, and these skills of my ability are basically only enough for self-defense, and they are not suitable for fighting with the enemy head-on, so I need to go to the secret passage to guard."

"What? You're just defending yourself,"

Sobra laughed angrily,

"Do you dare to say that you are not fit to fight head-on? When you wrestled in Shengjing last year, you threw these two friends of mine who were generals like that, and you dare to say that you ......."

"It wasn't real wrestling at all,"

Seeing that the faces of Lang Yongkuan and Xiang Yongzhong instantly became embarrassed, Zong Jiyuan hurriedly interrupted his behavior of "revealing the old man", and hurriedly said,

"I was just opportunistic at the time, and the two generals suffered a loss because they were unprepared, and if I really followed the rules of wrestling, I would definitely be beaten by them......

"Ji Yuan,"

Speaking of this, Wang Yu, who had just arrived from outside the door, stepped into the door and shouted, temporarily interrupting this conversation of "reviewing the history of the fight". Before coming to the main hall, Wang Yu first bowed to Lord He, and then turned to Zong Jiyuan and asked,

"I heard you're looking for me, what's the matter?"

"Of course there's something,"

Zong Jiyuan smiled and nodded at him, and guided the three of them with his hand, and then said,

"Brother Wang Yu, these are the garrison generals who came from Shengjing, and this time they are acting jointly with us, planning to besiege the lair of the thieves in Pingliang Village in two ways. So I want you to be the guide, and a few generals lead the garrison to raid from the open road in the front, and I take the Yazhong brothers to guard the secret passage on the side of the hunting house that Grandpa Xiao pointed out to us, what do you think? ”

"Okay,"

When Wang Yu heard this, he sank, his eyes showed a bit of gratitude, and he smiled at Zong Jiyuan and said,

"Thank you, Ji Yuan, for your thoughtfulness."
