There is no room for optimism

Although Zhang Xiaocao has been in contact with Mu Jiu in the past few years, Mu Jiu has only been to Los Angeles twice, and when he heard Mu Jiu's instructions, Zhang Xiaocao immediately realized that something was wrong, hurriedly handed over the counter to the second shopkeeper, and personally took Mu Jiu to the best private room in Jiu'an Restaurant.

was about to go out, but was stopped by Mu Jiu, "Xiaocao, you come with you, what about Guangshu?" ”

"I went out this morning, although the master told Xiaocao, what Guangshu can do, Xiaocao can also do." Xiaocao's gaze was firm.

Mu Jiu suddenly raised his hand and waved his right palm at Zhang Xiaocao.

Caught off guard, Zhang Xiaocao came back to her senses, Mu Jiu's palm wind had already reached her eyes, but she calmly dodged back, which was able to avoid Mu Jiu's attack.

Mu Jiu didn't stop and continued to hook right, but the space in the private room was too small to operate, Zhang Xiaocao was on guard and could hide with ease.

After a few moves, Mu Jiu withdrew his hand and showed a satisfied smile, "Sure enough, I didn't see the wrong person." ”

"Thank you for the master's cultivation, the master often writes to Xiaocao to say, we must not live up to the master's expectations for us, Xiaocao has been learning kung fu with Guangshu in his spare time, and the master can't talk about it, and it is more than enough to deal with ordinary people."

Mu Jiu was very satisfied, "Okay, let's sit down, Xiaocao, you can sit too." ”

"Master, I'll go and guard the door." Xiaomi is not at ease.

"Okay." Anyway, Xiaomi knows everything, and there are some things that you can tell Xiaomi when you turn around.

"The time has come to test you." Mu Jiu took out the image of the carriage drawn by the painter, "You have been in Los Angeles for almost three years, how are you doing here?" ”

Xiaocao replied humbly, "Master, it's okay, it's still easy to find two carriages." ”

Mu Jiu handed the portrait of the carriage to Xiaocao, "As soon as possible, there are two people in the carriage." ”

Mu Jiu took out the minister's album again, and turned out the portraits of Jiang Xian and Dong Xinyang, "Find these two people." ”

The prince's people couldn't help but remind Mu Jiu, "Head Mu Yuan, your people only said that they might be in Los Angeles, not necessarily in Los Angeles, we should look for them all the way." ”

Mu Jiu glanced at him lightly, "Your master asked you to listen to me." ”

"But I think you're probably missing them on the road if you just came over like this. What if they stop halfway through, what if they don't come to Los Angeles? ”

"You also said that in case, if they reach Los Angeles as quickly as possible, wouldn't we lose the opportunity if we didn't hurry up?"

"But these are just your speculations, you don't..."

"Enough!" Mu Jiu interrupted him, "Your master asked you to listen to me, but you didn't do it." ”

Mu Jiu didn't explain, this was his agreement with An Kang, and when he met the beggar gang disciples along the way, they gave her a gesture hint that the carriage was coming this way.

But Ankang's people were not as fast as the carriage, and when they were about to reach Los Angeles, the clue was broken.

However, the clues in their hands were enough to make Mu Jiu sure that they had entered Los Angeles, even if the final destination was not Los Angeles, they had to come in to make up for it

To give.

But she was not obliged to explain so much to the prince's people.

The man thought of the relationship between Mu Jiu and the crown prince and the crown princess, and obediently shut up.

Zhang Xiaocao got the portrait, and immediately went out of the private room and ordered to go down.

About an hour later, Zhang Xiaocao returned to the private room, "Master, there is news."

These two carriages entered the Fulai Inn this morning, and they are still in the Fulai Inn at the time, but there is no one the master is looking for, don't worry, the master has returned, I asked him to find it. ”

"Well done." Mu Jiu was not idle, left Jiu'an Restaurant, went to find the local beggar disciple, and showed the token that An Kang gave her, "I want to find your elder." ”

Every city has an elder of a gang of beggars, who are connected to each other.

Ankang learned that Mu Jiu was going to come in person, so he gave her a token because he was not at ease, hoping to help.

Mu Jiu saw the elders of the beggar gang in Los Angeles and asked them to help find Jiang Xian's whereabouts.

When it comes to finding out the news, the most well-informed are the beggars, because they have people everywhere.

Not only went to the branch of the beggar gang, Mu Jiu also went to the Yamen of Los Angeles, found the prefect Zhou Shoucheng, and took out the token given by the prince, "I need your help." ”

Zhou Shoucheng was scared into a cold sweat, when Mu Jiu came a few years ago, he also framed Mu Jiu with Luo Lian, and now Mu Jiu's power is big enough to kill him at any time.

I thought that Mu Jiu was here to settle accounts with him, but it turned out that it was his villain's heart.

"How do you need to cooperate, the lower officials will go all out."

"You have a friendship with Lord Luo Lianluo, and now that I am Lord Luo, I am in the same boat, I think you also know." Mu Jiu said very calmly, having long forgotten the unpleasantness of the past.

"Lord Luo mentioned to the lower officials that the lower officials were confused before..."

Mu Jiu was in no mood to listen to his so-called confessions and the like, "Let it pass the previous things, what you need to do now is to mobilize the defenders of the city and be at my disposal at any time." ”

"This..."Zhou Shoucheng hesitated a little.

Mu Jiu immediately took out the Prince's token, "His Royal Highness the Prince's order!" ”

"The subordinate obeys!"

Mu Jiu didn't hide it from him, and explained, "Lord Jiang and Master Dong of Jingzhao Mansion are missing, I suspect that the person is in Los Angeles, but I can't look for it with great fanfare, my people are looking for it in secret, if you encounter trouble, you need to take action, if everything goes well, you will treat it as a drill." ”

"Xiaguan knows!"

After communicating the details with Zhou Shoucheng, it was already dark when Mu Jiu returned to Jiu'an Restaurant, and the prince's people had already dispersed, using their own methods and channels to find out the news.

Sure enough, before dawn the next morning, Xiaocao came with news that the whereabouts of the two were found, but the situation was not optimistic.

Mu Jiu chuckled in his heart, the other party really focused on revenge.

Immediately go to Zhou Shoucheng, "Are your people ready?" ”

Zhou Shoucheng was drenched in a cold sweat, "Xiaguan will do it immediately." ”

It was dark last night, and he didn't go out of town.

Seeing this, Mu Jiu fiercely threw down a reproachful look, "You know Liujia Village, two miles away from the city!" ”

"I know, the people in that village are very united, no one dares to mess with them, but they didn't make trouble, and the annual taxes were paid in a timely manner, and there was nothing illegal about it, so I couldn't interfere with anything."

"Master Jiang was arrested and taken to that village."

Zhou Shoucheng was shocked, "Xiaguan immediately go to the army in a hurry!" ”

"I'll take someone first, and you'll follow." Mu Jiu didn't wait for him, and immediately sent a signal to recall the prince's people, and under the leadership of Xiaocao and Guangshu, he went to that Liujia Village.

The morning breeze blows, the golden sun shines on the land, the mist covers the whole village, and the smoke curls up.

On the outskirts of the village is a field where the seedlings are green.

A group of people came to the hill a mile away from the village and looked at the village condescendingly, "Master, they are in this village, and I heard that no outsider has ever entered it, so no one knows what the situation is inside." ”

"When was you locked up?" Mu Jiu asked, calculated the wind speed and the weight of the poisonous smoke, shook his head and smiled, the wind is too strong, it is unlikely.

"Last night, when the master came."

"How are you going to get in?" Mu Jiu couldn't come up with an effective method for the time being, and he also intended to test Xiaocao.

"Master, I brought the purchase of Jiu'an Restaurant, and he often goes around to buy, and goes to inquire in the name of purchasing."

"It's fine."

About half an hour later, I came back, "Owner, I couldn't even enter the village, they were very xenophobic, I said I wanted to buy grain, they said no, I said I wouldn't buy anything, they said no, and they brutally drove me away, I was worried about startling the grass, so I had to come back first." ”

"It's okay, you go back first." Mu Jiu didn't have much hope.

At present, we can only wait for Zhou Shoucheng to bring troops to capture it in one fell swoop.

After waiting for about half an hour, Zhou Shoucheng came with about two thousand people and stopped at a distance of one mile from Liujia Village, waiting for Mu Jiu's order.

Mu Jiu hurriedly took someone to answer, "Did you bring the map?" ”

Zhou Shoucheng took out the map of the surroundings, "Here." ”

Mu Jiu will not arrange troops and leave this matter to the prince's people.

The prince's people were a little surprised, he thought that Mu Jiu would definitely command blindly, but he didn't expect...

"Do you see clearly? It should be fast, not slow. Mu Jiu urged.

The prince's man came back to his senses, a little embarrassed, broke off a branch, and pointed it on the map, "We are in this position now, if we attack head-on, they are likely to hide in the mountains from here, we are not familiar with the mountains."

So we need to send a team of people to go around from here, ambush here in advance, and arrange two hundred people, and here, we also need to arrange a hundred people. ”

The prince's people ordered a total of several positions, and after finishing speaking, Zhou Shoucheng hurriedly ordered the troops to divide into several roads and surround Liujia Village.

The process took about two hours, and everyone dispersed in place, leaving some people to guard the road to prevent anyone from going out to notice their tracks.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, some villagers picked vegetables and headed for Los Angeles.

The prince's people are all masters, quietly putting people down, dragging them into the jungle, and hiding.

At the appointed time, another order was given to attack.

Mu Jiu's kung fu is not high, and Xiaocao and Zixiao are at the back.

The people working in the fields were the first to see the people from the government and shouted, "The government is here!" ”

One look at these people and know that they have committed a crime.

Zhou Shoucheng didn't have any effort at all, and followed Mu Jiu's side, "The registered population of this village is only two hundred, and our people are ten times as many as them, all of them are strictly trained elite soldiers, they are just ordinary villagers, rest assured, they will definitely be able to take it." ”

This matter involves Xia Zhongmo, Mu Jiu is not as optimistic as him, but Xia Zhongmo's matter involves the royal family, so he can't say it outside, just nodded, "Hope." ”

"Rest assured, Master Mu will definitely be able to rescue Master Jiang." Zhou Shoucheng also hoped that after rescuing Jiang Xian, he could make meritorious service and enter Beijing to become an official!

Before entering the village, the forward troops had already fought with the villagers, and Zhou Shoucheng was so frightened that he almost fainted.

One moment he swore that he would definitely win, but the next moment he found that these villagers were so strong in combat that one-on-one soldiers were no match for them at all!
