"Are you sure they're in Wucheng?" Kong Bao stood outside the gate of the West City of Wucheng, looked at the not very high city wall, and asked the people around him.

"I can't make a mistake, military master, a man, two women, and three teenagers, said that they fled from Anhui City, and they wanted to go to Wucheng to find relatives, and it was half a day old to go ashore, so it stands to reason that they had already arrived." The person who was talking on the side was the boatman who crossed Yi Xiaodao and the three of them in the morning.

"Okay, these three little masters of my family went out to play in the mountains and rivers, and they didn't dare to report the names of the adults in the family when they suffered a disaster in Anhui City, thanks to you, we can find them." Come, take him down and receive the reward. Kong Bao said with a smile, and then glanced at the soldier next to him.

The soldier who was blinded was the personal guard of the leopard, and when he saw a trace of murder in the eyes of the leopard, how could he not understand what he meant, walked over with a smile, and pulled the boatman to the direction of the ferry.

"Thank you, thank you. It's better to give silver if the military master can, I haven't seen a silver tael on weekdays, and I won't give me a silver ticket. The boatman hurriedly bowed, looking at the reward in front of him, and had long forgotten that Yi Xiaodao had agreed with him to come to work, and he had not studied in detail why a child with status would agree to come to row to work.

The boatman rubbed his hands together and followed the soldier away.

Kong Bao ignored it, turned around and suddenly laughed: "I won't make it, it's not okay, in the future, the family will burn it, but it will be all tickets." ”

Xu Mo asked on the side: "My lord, let's go to the east of the city now, the 'poisonous snake' said, they are connected at the notice board in the east city." ”

Kong Bao bowed his hand to Xu Moyi: "Oh, yes, if you don't say that I have forgotten, then bother General Xu to take someone to take a trip, there are a lot of people in Wancheng, there are still two hundred people here, General Xu will take twenty people." ”

"This..."Xu Mo was a little dumbfounded.

"Twenty is a lot? Or ten people? The leopard continued to discuss with a gentle face.

"Humble and stupid..."Xu Mo had to bow his head and surrender his hand to plead guilty.

Only then did Kong Bao put down his hand: "Idiot! You were all there and you heard it, can they still go there? Kong Jie, you take fifty people to guard the four gates, and when you see those little rabbit cubs, you can take them down directly, and if you resist, kill them on the spot! Kong Fang, you take ten people from Wucheng to the capital to search all the way, and if you find it, you will be killed directly, so you don't have to worry about the impact outside the city. Kong Tao, you take all the rest of the people and scatter and search the whole city! ”

Xu Mo stepped aside with the knife, but no one noticed that his hand was holding the handle tightly, and the green tendons were looming...

"Yi Xiaodao, this is not the way to Dongcheng, you are going south." Xiang Lian'er couldn't keep up with Yi Xiaodao's pace, so she had no choice but to pull Xiang Lian'er to follow at a trot.

Yi Xiaodao looked around as he walked, and said, "You can't go to Dongcheng, when that Uncle Wei told us, the deputy general was also there." That night, the uncle was thrown off the cliff, and the deputy general was alive and well, right next to the leopard, and we went to Dongcheng, weren't we arrested? ”

"Then why are we still here in the East City? Isn't it good to go to Jingshi directly? Xiang Lian'er then asked.

Yi Xiaodao saw a small alley on the side of the road, and when he walked to the alley, he saw that there were still forks in it, and it seemed that there were still a lot of forks in the road, so he took the lead in it, and Xianglian'er and He Yue'er had to follow closely.

Yi Xiaodao turned around and finally stopped in front of a land temple, which was built not big or small, but it had been dilapidated for a long time, and the wild grass in front of the temple was knee-high. "This land temple is well built, I didn't expect it to be so dilapidated now, so let's do it here." As he spoke, he pushed open the temple door and went in, and Xianglian'er dragged He Yue'er to follow in.

Xiang Lian'er asked angrily: "You haven't answered me yet, if you can't find their Tianwei's people in Wucheng, wouldn't it be better if we bypassed Wucheng and went directly to the capital?" ”

Yi Xiaodao found a few shabby futons, patted the old ash on them, handed them to the second daughter and said: "If we go directly to Wucheng, we will be caught up by them on horseback in less than half a day, one man and two women, so obvious." Isn't this looking for death? ”

Xiang Lian'er nodded thoughtfully: "What you said also makes sense, so what should we do next?" ”

Yi Xiaodao leaned against the wall: "Wait!" Wait for this Wucheng to change. If they can't find us here, they will think that we are still on the way to Wucheng, and they will leave Wucheng to find us along the way they came, or they will be in a hurry to return to Beijing to resume their lives, and when they are gone, it will not be too late for us to go to the capital again. ”

Xiang Lian'er pulled a futon and sat down, handed it to He Yue'er, and pulled her to sit down too: "We haven't eaten for a day..."

Yi Xiaodao smiled "hehe": "I'll go out at night to beg." ”

In the evening, Wucheng.

The leopard sat alone in a teahouse, a cup of fragrant tea steaming a little hot on the table in front of him, and a plate of white and crispy pastries.

At this time, he had already changed into his regular clothes, wearing a green robe, eating and drinking slowly.

Outside the door, several big men entered the teahouse, all dressed in regular clothes and short-term workers, and when they saw Kong Leopard, they came straight to him.

The one at the head was Kong Tao, and seeing that there were still many diners in the teahouse, he said softly: "Big brother, I have searched all over the city, but I haven't found those little ghosts." ”

Kong Bao glared, "How many times have you said it, call me Lord!" ”

Kong Tao shrank his head in fear: "Yes, my lord." ”

"Tell me, where have you looked?" As he spoke, Kong Bao pinched up a piece of good-looking peach cake and looked at it.

Kong Tao replied: "I searched all over the inn, teahouse, and restaurant, but I didn't find them." ”

"Pop" The peach crisp in Kong Leopard's hand was instantly crushed, grabbed Kong Tao's collar, and whispered in his ear: "If it weren't for my mother specially asking me to take good care of you, you wouldn't know how many times you would have died." ”

As soon as Kong Tao heard this, although it was a sign of forgiveness, cold sweat gradually broke out, and he didn't dare to speak.

"Those imps are penniless, can you find them in these places? Why don't you go to the casino Qinglou to have a look! Go, find me again! There were still many tea customers in the teahouse, and Kong Leopard was not good at attacking, so he had to scold in a low voice.

"Yes, yes... The subordinates will go. Kong Tao hurriedly agreed and left the teahouse with people.

Kong Bao looked at the few people who left, and secretly thought: "I can't find those little ghosts with these wine bags and rice bags, maybe... I should go to this Wucheng County Decree and ask him to help..."

Thinking of this, Kong Bao got up, threw a corner of broken silver on the table, and left the teahouse and headed towards the Wucheng County Ya.

Coming to the county office, after Kong Bao reported, the Wucheng county commander hurriedly ran out.

"Master Sun, it's been a long time." Kong Leopard smiled.

"Oh, General Kong, please hurry, please hurry, please inside." Sun Xianling replied with a spring breeze on his face, and invited Kong Leopard to the ya.

Kong Bao didn't twist either, when he entered the yain first, he was born as a military general, and he acted vigorously and resolutely and left Sun Xianling behind.

Sun Xianling was stunned for a moment, and followed with a wry smile.

Entering the hall, the main and secondary seats were completed, and the maid tea was handed over.

Kong Leopard picked up the tea, carefully watched the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the teacup, but did not speak, Sun Xian Ling saw Kong Leopard like this, he knew in his heart, and retreated from the maid.

"I don't know why General Kong came to Wucheng here?" Sun Xianling asked.

Kong Bao saw that there was no one else, so he said: "The piece of jade Ruyi that Lord Sun gave at the beginning of the year, Master Li likes it very much, this time, I am here, one is to ask me, thank you for the kindness of Sun County..."

When Sun Xianling heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "That jade Ruyi was specially sent by the lower officials and bought it from the Persians, and it is good for Taishi Li to like it, if you like it, hahaha." ”

Seeing that Sun County Ling had no intention of asking, Kong Bao secretly scolded the stupid man in his heart, so he had to continue: "These two, Taishi Li still has one more matter, and he needs Lord Sun's help, and I hope that Lord Sun will not shirk." ”

"Well said! Say! Master Kong, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it! Sun Xian Ling hurriedly said.

"Taishi Li sent me to Wucheng to do some errands, but my subordinates did not do it well and were seen by three little ghosts. Now I only know that those three little ghosts are still in this Wucheng, and I can't find them for a while, Lord Sun, look..."Kong Bao wanted to speak and stopped.

When Sun Xian Ling heard this, he quickly thought in his heart: "What did this hole leopard do... I've got to be careful not to put myself in there... Ask first."

Sun Xian Ling carefully replied with his words: "General Kong, this is easy to find someone, but since it is a child, every family is raised by his mother's father, and the lower official is a parent official, so he has to ask clearly..."

Kong Bao said: "Don't worry, Lord Sun, these three are little beggars, and they won't cause any trouble to adults, and... Master Li doesn't want to live. If it happens, this Wucheng won't be able to keep Master Sun. If it doesn't work out... Hehe, this Wucheng may not be able to keep Master Sun. ”

When Kong Bao said this, he basically made it clear, and stared at Sun Xianling tightly.

He came to this Wucheng County Ling Sun Zilin this time, and he also took some risks, of course, just some. This grandson Lin has no ink on his chest, if it weren't for Taishi Li, this Wucheng County Order would not have been his turn at all. He can also be a man, he hugged the big tree of Taishi Li and didn't let go, this time... Gotta get him to hold it tighter.

Sun Zilin's heart sank: "This is to ask me to accept the name." ”

"If Taishi Li needs it, he will be an official... Do your best! Sun Zilin thought for a moment, knowing that Kong Bao would not be able to penetrate to himself, so he gritted his teeth and expressed his attitude to Kong Bao.

Kong Bao laughed: "Okay! Lord Sun is really a smart person, then Kong wishes Lord Sun a high ascension as soon as possible, and when he is a big man in the future, don't forget Kong, bring one or two. The leopard raised a cup of tea and toasted it, taking a sip and drying.

Sun Zilin hurriedly said: "Don't dare... Can't... I also asked Master Kong to explain the physiognomy and characteristics, so I can send someone to search. ”

In the hall where the lights were shaking, there were whispers, and the maid guarding the door didn't have the heart to listen, she was thinking about what gifts to bring home next time she visited relatives...

As the night deepened, the lights in Wuhu gradually increased.

"Come, buns, although it's a little colder, let's eat it. And siu mai, and behold, there's a chicken leg! Yue'er, the chicken leg is for you! Yi Xiaodao walked into the temple gate with a bag of food, happily showed it to Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er, and handed He Yue'er a big chicken leg, secretly looking at Xiang Lian'er's reaction.

"How did you get so much good? Hey, why should the chicken leg be given to Yue'er! Xiang Lian'er asked, seeing that Yi Xiaodao handed the chicken leg to He Yue'er, she said dissatisfiedly.

"Yue'er is weak, and she has been on the road with us for these days, so why don't you eat a chicken leg to make up for it! I'm... Of course, I got it by skill! Yi Xiaodao argued.

He Yue'er shook her head and pushed back the chicken legs, and said, "You work harder than us, it's all up to you all the way, you should eat the chicken legs yourself." I'll just eat a siu mai. Sister Lian'er, don't ask, it's not easy for the knife to get us food. ”

When Xiang Lian'er heard He Yue'er say this, she was unwilling, but what He Yue'er said was indeed reasonable, and she grabbed a bun and stuffed it into her mouth.

Yi Xiaodao didn't tease the two, tore the chicken leg in half, and handed it to them separately: "Since I brought it to you, it means that I know it in my heart, so don't shirk it." As for me, I've long been fed. ”

Seeing that the two took the chicken legs, Yi Xiaodao removed the curtain in the temple, shook off the dust, and handed it to the two to signal to cover it. He sat down against the door, keeping an eye on the situation outside.

He Yue'er picked up the chicken thighs and siu mai and ate them in small bites.

Xiang Lian'er quietly turned her head and found that the chicken leg handed to He Yue'er was better than the one handed to her... Bigger!
