Before dawn.

The mules rushed to Zhang's mansion.

He knew the gravity of the matter.

So this night, he mobilized almost all the Blood Shadow Guards in Jintian Mansion to investigate the news of Jun Cheng Shi An's presence in an all-round way.

For the whole night, he was like a madman, running around the four major cities, supervising the war.

In Zhang's Mansion in the past, people had already gotten up at this point, cooking soup and preparing breakfast.

And today, Zhang's Mansion is quiet, but it was the people in the mansion who packed up the salute last night and seized the time to make up for sleep.

The mule walked lightly into Zhang's mansion, and saw from a distance that the lights in the living room were still on.

This let him know that the eldest brother had really waited for him all night.

He couldn't help but slow down, straightened his clothes, and walked in respectfully.

"Master Chu. ”

He bowed down and saluted Zhang Chu in the hall.

Zhang Chu raised his gaze from the map of Xuanbei Prefecture in his hand, looked at the mules under the hall, and said with a faint smile: "I guess you should come over too, you've been hungry all night, right?" I'll ask the guy to give you a bowl of noodles, you eat it while it's hot first, and we'll talk after eating." ”

He raised his chin to the left.

The mule followed his gaze, and when he looked over, he saw that on the coffee table next to the chair, there was a large bowl of clay porcelain for soup.

Another earthen porcelain bowl is kept upside down with another porcelain bowl, and a pair of chopsticks are placed next to it.

Very unpretentious.

It's so unpretentious that it doesn't look like hospitality at all.

But it was this simplicity that warmed the mule's heart.

He didn't say anything, just gave Zhang Chu a deep bow, but he took three steps and two steps, walked to the chair and sat down.

He opened the big bowl covered on the top, and a hot air mixed with the fragrance of green onions rushed to his face, obviously not long after the pot, he looked at it, and saw two fried eggs lying on his stomach on the light hand rolling noodles, and the green green onions were scattered and floating on the noodle soup, which looked very appetizing.

Looking at this bowl of egg noodles that was only worth two or three big bucks on the roadside, the mule suddenly felt that this night's running around was nothing.

He picked up the noodle bowl, picked up the chopsticks, and began to eat with his head buried in "hula hula", the faster and faster he ate, the more he ate the more he devoured it.

It smells so good!

Zhang Chu lowered his head again and set his eyes on the map of Xuanbei Prefecture.

......

"Snorr. ”

The mule drank the soup from the bowl in one go, then burped comfortably and exhaled a mouthful of hot air filled with the smell of onion and garlic.

Zhang Chu put away the map of Xuanbei Prefecture in his hand and asked, "Tell me, what did you find out this night?"

The mule put the noodle bowl aside, and said with a straight face: "Master Chu, my subordinates can now confirm that Master Di and Master Nie have left Jintian Mansion. ”

Zhang Chu nodded: "Go on." ”

"Recently, the official affairs of the county government, including some official affairs of Lord Nie, are all reviewed by Lord Shi, and even Hou helps...... Hou Juntang has been to the Juncheng Mansion three times at night recently. ”

Zhang Chu pinched his chin and thought carefully.

Is this a smoke bomb released by the county government to confuse the Northern Barbarians?

But the city has already screened the Northern Barbarian spies a few years ago, and with Hou Juntang's methods, coupled with the cooperation of all the gangs in Jintian Mansion, even if there are still fish that have slipped through the net, they will definitely not be able to reach the level of the county guard, the county lieutenant, and the county cheng.

So what's the point of putting this smoke bomb?

Think about it from another angle.

Di Jian is in charge of the military affairs of Wuding County, and Nie Ben is in charge of the military affairs of Wuding County.

And the county Cheng Shi Anzai, in charge of the affairs of Wuding County, his official position is a pure civil official, although he also has the responsibility of defending the territory, but he does not have the right to command the army.

In the current form, it is definitely a reasonable choice for military generals to go out to lead the army and fight, and civilian officials to sit in the rear to appease the people of Liming.

The judgment of the mule is more than eighty percent likely to be correct.

"Shi An is in ......"

Zhang Chu frowned and whispered the name.

This Master Shi's presence in Jintian Mansion is extremely low.

With his official rank and martial arts grade, as long as he has a sense of existence, Zhang Chu has to honor him a large sum of silver taels every month.

But in fact, Zhang Chu has never dealt with this county lord and the civil officials under him.

Those ordinary people at the bottom of the Allsky Mansion are afraid that they don't know that the Allans Mansion still has the official position of Juncheng.

Now that such a high-ranking official who can't understand the depth is sitting in Jintian Mansion, what he does is too wrong.

Of course, Di Jian, Nie Ben, and Zhang Chu are actually not familiar with each other, but these two have some shooting records, and they can infer their reactions to certain things from some clues.

For example, Nie Ben.

If he sat in Jintian Mansion and gave Zhang Chu a hundred dares, he would never dare to run away.

That county lieutenant is a ruthless man who really doesn't move, and if the news of the Silian Gang's escape south reaches his ears, Zhang Chu is eighty percent sure that Nie Ben will personally catch up and slaughter them!

If he sits in Jintian Mansion, Zhang Chu will at most let his family members withdraw from the city first, stay in Jintian Mansion himself, and wait for the opportunity to run away when the city is broken.

Zhang Chu pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, got up and said resolutely: "It can't be delayed any longer, the order will go down, as soon as the city gate opens this morning, you will leave the city immediately!"

The mule hurriedly got up, bowed down and said, "Yes, Master Chu!"

"Go ahead!"

The mule saluted, turned and trotted out.

Zhang Chu wandered around the living room twice with his hands behind his back, and suddenly shouted, "Someone!"

A voice came out, and a Xuanwu cousin walked briskly into the living room, "Helper." ”

Zhang Chu turned around and took out three letters that had been written long ago from the top of the living room, and handed them to the Xuanwu Tang brothers under the hall, "Send someone immediately to send these three letters to Nancheng Wufu, Liu Wu, the chief helmsman of the Qinglong Gang, and Zheng Butcher in the cattle and sheep market, and call the brothers who delivered the letters to go back quickly and follow the team out of the city!"

"Yes, helper!"

The Xuanwu Tang brothers in the hall shook it to the end, turned around with the letter and walked out quickly.

......

A carriage stopped outside the gate of Zhang's mansion.

Dozens of Xuanwutang brothers helped the people in the house to send a mouthful of large wooden boxes to the carriage, tied them with ropes, and then pulled up the oil paper to protect them from the rain.

Familiar moving scenes......

It's just that the old woman who couldn't even give up a broken cutting board, this time she didn't have the strength to go in and out again to greet the moving Xuanwu cousins, and sent her treasures to the car.

After all the salutes were loaded, Zhang Chu personally took the old lady out of the room and gave her a spacious carriage with thick animal skins and a warm stove.

He held her hand and whispered softly: "Mother, let's leave for Jintian County, go back to sweep the graves of my father and eldest brother......

It was difficult for Zhang to stay awake anymore, sometimes fainting, sometimes confused, but hearing Zhang Chu's words, the old man's dim eyes lit up, and he nodded very hard.

Zhang Chu tucked the corners of the quilt for her, turned around, and water vapor quickly floated in her eyes......

He knew that the old man's body would not be able to hold up to Jintian County......

She herself knew that she couldn't get past it.

Her only wish is to be buried next to her father's grave......

Zhiqiu and Xia Tao, who were standing behind him, couldn't help but reddened their eyes when they looked at him like this.

The two sisters stepped forward, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, hugged him, and then walked into Zhang's carriage together.

Zhang Chu cleaned up his face, took the shocking cloud from the big bear, stepped on the high-headed horse, and waved his hand.

"Let's go!"
