Zhou Gu walked quickly, and after finishing speaking, he went down the mountain, without delaying for a moment, and almost flew down the mountain.

Midnight followed him, and I wanted to ask why I had to go down the mountain after hearing that there was a secret passage, shouldn't I go to arrest people? But he could barely keep up with Zhou Gu's pace, so naturally he didn't ask.

The two of them left on the front foot, and a team of people broke into the courtyard where Zhou Gu lived, looking at the empty courtyard and house, as well as the warm tea in the house, the person who started the head frowned, "What about people?" Why not here? ”

The interrogator was in his forties, named Lin Hai, with two goatees, a sharp face, and a bad temperament at first glance.

The person behind him was also in his forties, with a Chinese character face and thick eyebrows, his name was Feng Jiang, looking at the steaming tea, "Go out and look for it, he came to Zhao'an, it didn't work out, with his temperament, he will definitely not give up halfway." He was friendly with Jiang Zhu in the eleventh village, and he probably went to find Jiang Zhu. ”

"Let's go!" Lin Hai waved his hand and led the people out of the house where Zhou Gu lived.

A group of people went to the eleventh village Jiangchai is practicing calligraphy, he is twenty years old, a scholar, looks thin and weak, but the pen falls on the paper, through the back of the paper.

Hearing someone's voice, he paused and asked, "Why are so many people here?" Who is coming? ”

"Back to the master of the village, Lin Hai of the thirteenth village and Feng Jiang of the fourteenth village." Someone replied: "Brought a lot of people." ”

Jiang Zhu put down his pen, picked up the rice paper, threw it into the stove on the ground with his hands, and then covered his lips with his hands, coughed, and walked out while coughing.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Lin Hai and Feng Jiang, who didn't seem to be good, the two of them had stiff faces, and when they saw Jiang Zhu, they arched their hands to him, "Master Jiangzhai, Zhou Gu is here with you?" ”

Jiang was stunned, "An hour ago, he had gone back to rest. ”

"Are you sure?" Lin Hai looked at Jiang Zhu.

Jiang Zhu coughed and said helplessly: "This kind of thing, what's uncertain?" He had indeed gone an hour ago. Are you looking for him? ”

Lin Hai stared at Jiang Zhu, "Master Jiang Village, our Village Master asked Zhou Gu to go to the Thirteen Villages to discuss the conditions." We had just been to his yard and he was not there. ”

Jiang Zhu shook his head, "He's not here with me, if you don't believe it, just search it." ”

Lin Haidao: "Since the master of Jiangzhai said so, I am not welcome." ”

He waved his hand behind him, "Search!" ”

The people who followed him glanced at Jiang Yiyi, and saw that he was coughing and did not object, so they quickly entered the house and searched all the rooms and the entire courtyard, not even letting go of the cellar.

After the search, no one was seen.

Lin Hai arched his hand, "Offended the master of Jiangzhai." ”

Jiang Zhu shook his head, didn't say anything, and waved his hand at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai walked away quickly with the people.

Jiang Zhu faintly heard Jiang Hai walking and ordering, "Go, go search somewhere else." Search the entire eighteen villages. I don't believe I can't find him. ”

He turned his head to the person behind him and asked, "What happened?" Why did Lin Hai and Feng Jiang suddenly lead people around to look for Zhou Gu? And it doesn't look good? ”

The person behind him shook his head, "The owner of the village, my subordinates will go and investigate." ”

Jiang Zhu nodded: "Go!" ”

Lin Hai led people to rummage through one mountain after another, and he had the momentum of turning over the entire eighteen villages, he was sure that Zhou Gu was hiding in the eighteen villages, because he didn't think that Zhou Gu had not achieved his goal and would leave the eighteen villages.

But on the contrary, Zhou Gu really left the eighteen villages, took a shortcut, and used the fastest speed to go down the mountain and get out of the eighteen villages.

At the foot of the mountain, ten miles away, there were 10,000 soldiers and horses given to him by Ning Chi.

He instructed the men who led the troops, "From now on, send people to guard the exits, and then send people to find the secret passage into the village, and I will get the results before dawn." ”

The leader of the soldiers was called Cheng Mu, and he glanced at Zhou Gu in surprise, it should be.

So, this night, the people on the Eighteen Zhai Mountains were looking for Zhou Gu, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses under the Eighteen Zhai Mountains, in addition to guarding the various passes, were also looking for the secret passage to the mountain.

Midnight finally saw the opportunity to ask Zhou Gu, "Childe, is it dangerous on the mountain now?" ”

"Hmm."

Midnight took a breath, thinking that he was fortunate to come down, and he guessed, "Who can make Chen Qi's old thing have an idea?" And still want to do it to you in the eighteen villages? Could it be the second prince's person? ”

Now in Beijing, the second prince can still jump.

"Zhang Ping's people." Zhou Gu said: "Over the years, there must have been people in Eighteen Villages who have had close contact with Zhang Ping. ”

Midnight speculated, "I don't know what Zhang Ping promised Eighteen Villages, and it turned out to be more ambitious than His Royal Highness the Prince's plan to recruit An?" ”

Zhou Gu sneered, "If Zhang Ping has the ambition of rebellion, then he can promise more, and he will be crowned a king." ”

Midnight suddenly felt that the bones of the eighteen villages were difficult to gnaw, and it was impossible for His Royal Highness the prince to be knighted, although the eighteen villages were righteous bandits, but in the final analysis, they were also bandits, and they had not made any contributions to the court, so they whimsically opened the king of Kaifeng to be knighted? How can those who have done their best for the imperial court be embarrassed? If you want to be an official, there are more four and five products.

He asked Zhou Gu, "Childe, what should I do now?" ”

"I guess that if you can convince Chen Qi and convince Chen Qi to oppose the imperial court, the person sent by Zhang Ping must be a pivotal figure in the Pingxi General's Mansion, at least, on behalf of Zhang Ping himself. That can only ......" Zhou Gu sneered, "Zhang Ping's sister-in-law, Zhang Mao." ”

Midnight was shocked, "Childe, this person, if he really comes to the Eighteen Villages, he has to be left behind." ”

"Nature." Zhou Gu frowned, "He can't run, and it is impossible for him to run." ”

He instructed, "Let the secret guards be vigilant, once they find the secret passage, guard the exit, if Zhang Mao hears that Su Rong is coming, he will not stay here for a long time." ”

Midnight sighed, "Childe, Miss Su Qi's reputation is now bigger than yours, Zhang Mao is not afraid of you, but afraid of Miss Su Qi." ”

Zhou Gu curled his lips and smiled, "The situation in the court has been disturbed since she went to the capital, and the prince's rise is also because she broke the situation." Anyone who is not a fool can see how powerful she is. Zhang Ping's sister-in-law Zhang Mao, compared to Zhang Ping, can only be blue and will not be too wasteful. ”

Midnight nodded.

The soldiers searched all night, but they did not find the secret passage into the eighteen villages. In the eighteen villages, Lin Hai led people to look for it all night, but he didn't find the shadow of Zhou Gu. After dawn, the people in the eighteen villages also realized that Zhou Gu should have gone down the mountain.

Lin Hai returned to the Thirteen Villages and told Chen Qi, "The owner of the village, I didn't find Zhou Gu, he should have gone down the mountain." ”

Chen Qi was in his fifties, with a good face, his face was not good, and he looked at the young man on the side, the man was in his early twenties, and his eyebrows were heroic, it was Zhang Mao.

He looked at Chen Qi expressionlessly, "Eighteen villages, it's not a nobody, that's Zhou Gu, he actually let him go down the mountain quietly, doesn't the owner of Zhou Village think it's ridiculous?" ”

Commuter pass, what's it?
