There were some words, Xie Yao didn't dare to ask.

These people seem to have been planning for a long time, which means that from the very beginning, they have been eyeing this Birthday Gang, is Chu Zhao not aware of it?

She thought back to what happened, Han Lin is now in Fengyang, Danzhou is really close, but Cangxian is not close to Fengyang, taking the capital, she could have gone north directly from Fengyang, but she made a detour to Cangxian, which was an extra four days......

Could it be that something happened on the road? So Chu Zhao had to make a detour to Cangxian?

Her eyes were puzzled, and her mind drifted a little.

Chu Zhao made a detour to Cangxian County to second, and it seemed that he had encountered some trouble on the road.

At this moment, a masked figure in white came, one on the left and one on the left, and soon entered the cave.

Xie Yao came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "My lord, this person is so angry, he is actually wearing a white mask in the middle of the night, for fear that others will not be able to see him?" ”

After a pause, she added, "My lord, shall we come closer and take a sneak peek?"

"Soon it will come out."

Xie Yao didn't believe it, but she didn't dare to refute Chu Zhao's words, so she had to hold back and wait quietly.

Sure enough, after a while, more than a dozen men in black walked out carrying two large boxes.

Xie Yao said in surprise, "My lord, I really made you right." ”

A few people walked away, Xie Yao was about to catch up, but was dragged by Chu Zhao, and squatted back in place, and soon two big men fell from the tree, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he hurriedly caught up with his companions.

Xie Yao said, "My lord, how do you know that there are people?"

"Because I'm an adult."

"An adult deserves to be an adult, it's really powerful."

Chu Zhao still despised Xie Yao's kung fu of slapping the horse, he didn't look back, he walked faster and faster, as if he wanted to get rid of the people behind him, but although Xie Yao's kung fu was average, her kung fu was extremely fast, no matter what speed, she could keep up steadily.

She reminded, "My lord, we are getting farther and farther away. ”

This distance refers to leaving the original path.

The two men followed the men in front of them, made several turns, crossed the river, and came to an unknown road, where a carriage was waiting, and the people got on their horses and quickly sailed away.

There was no one else but him.

Xie Yao asked, "My lord, what should we do now?" ”

The Birthday Gang is a birthday gift dedicated to King Liang, if it is robbed like this, not to mention how King Liang will guess, Chu Ge Lao personally opened the mouth for Chu Zhao to escort, and now that the Birthday Gang has been lost, Han Lin's side must not look good, and it is even more difficult to ensure that the world will not think that Chu Zhao deliberately lost the Birthday Gang.

A while ago, in the Queensland smuggling case, five of the nine officials executed by the Criminal Department were former students of King Liang, Chu Zhao acted resolutely, directly crossed the cabinet, and did not even say hello, which was already considered ruthless, Chu Ge Lao took the initiative to ask him to escort him, and he did not have the idea of letting him turn over, if this matter is messed up, then the world's statement, King Liang's opinion, and the position of the officials will only become more and more complicated and difficult to distinguish.

The two of them didn't have horses, so they couldn't catch up with the thieves, so they walked along the road, and after walking for a while, Chu Zhao frowned and said, "Did you smell anything?"

Flavor?

Xie Yao took a sharp breath, shook his head, and said, "No." ”

It was very windy here, the air was humid and moist, Xie Yao's clothes were half dry and half wet, and he couldn't help but sigh and rub his nose.

Chu Zhao glanced at it, endured it, and said, "If you don't have this ability, don't be reckless." ”

He was referring to her chasing the man in black, but Xie Yao would be wrong, and said, "My lord, I really can't smell it, and I'm not a dog, this ......"

She woke up suddenly, remembering how close she had just been, and the smell seemed to be faintly in the air.

Xie Yao sniffed hard again, and said firmly, "My lord, this smell...... There's a river around here?"

The river Xie Yao refers to is not an ordinary river.

Chu Zhao said, "This should be near the Lan River, which is a big river in the southeast, which feeds many fishermen and people, the boats and waterways are bifurcated, and the rivers and lakes are complicated. ”

"Just now I was on that person, smelled an obvious fishy smell, but the little one was too scared just now, so that he ignored the smell, now it seems like this, it can be said that the two of them, should be dealing with water all year round, if it is a person on the Lan River, perennial fishing, it is inevitable to be contaminated with the smell of water, if you don't fish, but if you are in contact every day, all year round, over time, the smell will naturally penetrate into people."

Chu Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that the waterway transportation of the Lan River is extremely prosperous, the aquatic products are abundant, and there are ......."

He paused, as if thinking of something.

Xie Yao waited for a while, but when he didn't see him speak again, he was silent.

Soon, Xie Yao said, "My lord, I was just hiding in the shadows, and I heard them seem to say something to help...... Vice-helper...... Deputy Gang Leader? Isn't it some kind of Jianghu sect?"

"In the Lanhe area, there are more than a dozen gangs of all sizes, and it is difficult to draw conclusions, but ordinary gangs dare not fight my idea."

Chu Zhao's words may be true, with his status and status, a small sect, where can such a dare to pluck the hair on the tiger's head?

Xie Yao said again, "Maybe they didn't know that it was the birthday gang that the adults personally escorted." ”

I don't know?

Chu Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't reply to her.

Last night's people named names, obviously for the birth of the Gang.

He set off from Fengyang to the north, losing several entourages along the way, and all parties were eyeing him along the way, so he was forced to change his route, detour to Cangxian and then go north, this section of the road, he already knew that it would inevitably not be peaceful.

Chu Zhao walked in front, took a step faster than her, and said slowly, "The surface of the Lan River is the world of the Cao Gang. ”

Rao is far away in Cangxian County, and Xie Yao still has heard about the Cao Gang.

Cao Gang has been building a gang for more than 50 years, earlier it was just a small sect that did not enter the rivers and lakes, and later climbed with the government, and gradually grew by taking advantage of the situation, and the power was wide, so that a group of small gangs were afraid of it, but six years ago, the Cao Gang broke out a big civil strife, Guo Lao Gang was seriously ill and bedridden, and the gang elected Liu Rulong as the head, and the gang called it the deputy gang leader, and the people outside the gang called him the gang leader, as if there was a meaning to replace Guo Lao's gang leader, if it were not for the deep roots of the old faction, maybe the current deputy gang leader has become the gang leader.

The Cao Gang has been extremely chaotic in the past two years, no one from the old and new factions obeys anyone, on the surface there is a group of harmony, but behind the scenes, there are arrows and crossbows.

"My lord, if you look at it this way, is there any contradiction in this Cao gang that you can't sit down and talk about?"

Chu Zhao glanced at her with some surprise and said, "Indeed, in recent years, the business of the Cao Gang has been divided into two factions, one faction insists on fishing, and the other faction advocates expansion and has more contacts with the surrounding territories. ”

Xie Yao's eyes rolled and said, "Let the little one guess, this coming-and-going seems to be a little boring." ”

Chu Zhao smiled, noncommittal, looked at her differently in his heart, and said, "It seems that in addition to your kung fu skills, you look average and talk a little more, which is not without merit." ”

Xie Yao was a little used to being counted down by him, so he didn't care at all, but grinned, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

"Let's go, go to Yanzhou."

Yanzhou is where the helm of the Cao Gang is located.

Xie Yao was surprised, "Just the two of us?"

"What? I see, so unreassuring?"

"Don't dare, my lord's face is majestic, I am naturally relieved of you, I am not at ease with myself, I am afraid of pulling your back...... Ay...... Wait for me, sir......"
