"Lord Wu. How am I before the rain? Zhang Shiping took a bite of the teacup and asked Wu Nian with a smile.

"Good tea." Wu Nian remained silent and praised him. Then, unprepared, he pinched the note, held it in the palm of his hand, and stuffed it into his belt.

A cup of tea was quickly drunk, Wu Nian put down the teacup, hugged his fist at Zhang Shiping and said, "Thank you Mr. Zhang for your tea hospitality, I take my leave." ”

"Lord Wu, please." Zhang Shiping also stood up and hugged his fists very politely. Then he arranged for domestic slaves and sent Wu Nian out of the house.

"Your Excellency. What do we do now? After leaving the mansion, Zhang Jin asked in a deep voice.

Wu Nian pinched a note, Zhang Jin stood behind him, and naturally saw it.

There were only four people in the hall.

The note must have been sent by Zhang Shiping, so the person Zhang Shiping had to guard against was Qian Guangyuan. What kind of medicine is in the gourd?

Only by reading the note can you understand it clearly.

Long Ji looked at the expressions of the two brothers, and wondered in his heart, what are you doing?

"Get out of town first and find a secluded place." Wu Nian narrowed his eyes and said quietly.

"Yes."

Long Ji and Zhang Jin responded, and the coachmen drove the horses to pull the heavy carts, and the personnel followed the guards, turned around, and went out of the city from the original city gate.

Wu Nian also asked the sky-scuring monkey Chen Jiagui to star, and only after making sure that no one was following him, did he find a secluded place to stop.

Wu Nian got out of the carriage, turned his back to everyone, and took out the note to watch. Zhang Jin and Long He poked their heads out from behind him and looked at the note in Wu Nian's hand.

"Tomorrow at noon. Hou Jiaji, see you in the land temple. ”

Along the way, neither Wu Nian nor Zhang Jin revealed. The dragon doesn't know the inside story, and he is confused, what the hell is going on? Where did the note come from?

Wu Nian and Zhang Jin were moved.

"This Zhang Shiping is very likely to be a prisoner. The person named Qian Guangyuan was not Mr. Xixi, but a cell boss. ”

Wu Nian's face showed a deep color, and after a long exhale, he said to Zhang Jin.

"This is a two-way zone. Zhang Shiping is extremely powerful, and the people who can control him are either the court of Chu or the people of Mengyuan. I'm more inclined to the latter. Zhang Jin nodded and guessed further.

"Hmm. My brother and I guessed the same. ”

Wu Nian nodded slightly.

If it was the Chu court that controlled Zhang Shiping, then there was no need to treat him like this.

"Your Excellency. What are we going to do? To go or not to go? Zhang Jin asked.

Wu Nian shook his head slightly, then found a stone and sat down, bowed his head and pondered.

The confused dragon grabbed Zhang Jin's arm and asked for the ins and outs.

"Go. One comes. I originally came here for the 100-year-old wild ginseng. Now things are strange. Zhang Shiping may have this thing in his hands. ”

"Two. If it was really Meng Yuan who controlled Zhang Shiping, Zhang Shiping would convey the message in this way. I can't afford to ignore it. ”

Wu Nian raised his head, his eyes sparkling, and he was indomitable.

"That's right, everything that Mengyuan people want to do, we are going to mess up." Long He took advantage of this time, he already knew the ins and outs, his hands were clenched into fists, and his voice was loud.

"Let's go. Let's go to Houjiaji first and find the Land Temple. ”

Wu Nian stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, turned over his horse vigorously, and ordered loudly.

"Yes." Everyone responded, and the team set off again, led by a brother who was familiar with the terrain, and headed for Hou's house.

The next morning, Wu Nian and others arrived at Houjiaji.

The location of Houjiaji is very remote, and now after the plague, Houjiaji has also suffered a huge blow, and the local people have died and fled.

Although it was daytime, the entire Hou family set was full of gloomy flavor.

After questioning an old man, Wu Nian and the others came to a very remote place far away from Houjiaji.

A deserted earth temple towering over a large century-old tree.

The team stopped outside the Land Temple, and Wu Nian looked at the surrounding terrain. said to Zhang Jin: "Brother." You take someone to the Land Temple to have a look. ”

"Brother. You take the monkey and take a look around. ”

"The heart of defense is indispensable. Beware of the ambush. ”

"Yes."

Long Ji and Zhang Jin responded, and each went down with his own men. Wu Nian saw a stone under the big tree, and he didn't feel dirty, so he sat down.

Soon after, Long Ji and Zhang Jin led people back back, and there was no enemy ambush in the vicinity of the Land Temple.

Wu Nian nodded, set up a guard task, and then waited with peace of mind.

It was fast to noon.

Wu Nian's ears pricked up, and he heard the sound of horses' hooves in a hurry. The personnel on guard immediately turned around. Wu Nian also stood up and looked ahead.

Not long after, a middle-aged man dressed in black and looking ordinary came to Wu Nian on a tall horse.

"But Mr. Wu?" The middle-aged man turned over and dismounted, seemed to be not very good at riding, and was unsteady on his feet and almost fell to the ground.

"Exactly. You are? Wu Nian hugged his fists and asked.

"I am Zhang Shiping's house slave, and my cheap name is not worth mentioning." The middle-aged man gasped, and then hurriedly said, "Our master, let me tell Lord Wu." His entire family was controlled by the Mengyuan people, who coerced him to sell Mengyuan specialties such as Dongzhu, ginseng, and Korean ginseng. ”

"The one named Qian Guangyuan is the lackey of the Mengyuan people."

"Our master heard that Lord Wu, you are the enemy of Banbian Zhang, and intercepted a batch of supplies from the Mengyuan people. Later, I heard that Lord Wu was at the gate of the city and killed more than a dozen Mengyuan people. Surely someone to be trusted. ”

The middle-aged man said so much, but the words did not go straight to the core. Wu Nian was a little impatient and asked, "Your master, are you planning for me to save him?" ”

"Don't dare." The middle-aged man clenched his fists very solemnly, shook his head at Wu Nian and said, "My lord, I don't dare to expect Lord Wu to save my life." But there is a message, please send it to Wei Changqing, General Wei. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man pointed to the Broken Earth Temple and said, "In the lobby of this Broken Temple." Lord Wu digs three feet into the ground, and he will see a thousand taels of silver. This is a reward. ”

Special code.

It's getting weirder and weirder.

I'm just here to get a hundred years of ginseng, and a thousand taels of silver is very good, but now it's not interesting to have an extra amount of silver, it's better to have an extra ton of grain.

Wu Nian was a little impetuous, but he still suppressed his temperament and asked, "What news?" ”

"Because my lord is controlled by the Mengyuan people, the Mengyuan people are defenseless against him. So got a little bit of news. This time the plague was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. ”

"The Mengyuan people killed many livestock, death row prisoners, intercepted and killed many Han people, and used their corpses to brew a plague. Let the people of the Liu family's fist are scattered all over the water sources in eastern Liaodong. ”

"The Liujia boxing gate is the largest boxing gate in Liaodong, and many dignitaries and dignitaries have hired their people as bodyguards and guardians. They completely took refuge in the Mengyuan people, this matter is too big. ”

"If this news doesn't get out, there will definitely be a big mess."

Wu Nian seemed to have been hit by an electric current, and his whole body was shocked, his hands stretched out like lightning, grabbed the middle-aged man's collar, lifted him up, and his eyes widened.

"What did you say?"
