The group pretended to be a horse team, divided into two roads before and after, and crossed the two states of Cangyun and Feiyun. Along the way, there were only horse gangs or big merchants, and after some silver taels, no one was embarrassed by the checkpoints.

By the time we reached the Snow Pass, it was already half a month later.

"Big brother, this Feiyun Prefecture is clearly in Guangyang County, why didn't I be allowed to meet that assassin Xu Meng when I passed by?"

After joining forces, everyone found a deserted place in front of the snow pass, dismounted and repaired. Liu Kun was very puzzled by Zu Que's arrangement, if he didn't report to Xu Meng at this time, when he got out of the pass, he would be besieged by the Bai Dengcheng bandits, and everything would be over.

"Feiyun Prefecture assassin Xu Meng, I have only heard of it, I have never met it, I don't know what his character is. If it is a treacherous and vicious person, rash to the bottom, we lose our troops and lose a small matter, and implicate the two royal palaces of Yuzhang and Gaomi, then it will be troublesome. ”

"What's the plan?"

If you are so reckless and lose the customs, it is also resigned to fate, and you need to have a careful arrangement.

Zu Que had obviously considered this situation a long time ago, and stroked his short beard lightly, his expression solemn.

"For today's plan, we still have to pin our hopes on the defenders of the Snow Pass. Before leaving the customs later, the second brother can first bring some treasures to visit the guards of the snow pass, and with the second brother's conversation and heart, even if he is unwilling to accept it, he will never turn you away. Remember not to reveal your identity first, just say that we are a wealthy businessman in Cangyun Prefecture, and we went to the customs to do business outside the customs on the orders of the master's family. ”

Liu Kun nodded and wrote down, Zu Que was not wrong about this, compared to Qing Wei, who was arrogant and arrogant, Liu Kun, who often traveled in the Golden Valley with twenty-four friends when he was young and flattered Lu Gong Jia Mi, was obviously more suitable for this task.

"I'll wait for two ways out of the customs, my eldest brother and I go first, and Brother Liu can take the lead all the way, first watch the situation from a distance before closing it, and then make plans. At that time, he also took the letter as a whistle, and Brother Liu listened carefully. ”

Qing Wei added that this plan has been perfected and made it well-founded. It's just that he still has a problem with Liu Kun, and the second brother has always been reluctant to call him, only calling him Brother Liu.

Liu Kun knew Qingwei's thoughts, and he was not annoyed, so he nodded yes. So he ordered dozens of men and horses, brought treasures, and went to see the guards at the gate, so that they could lead the guards, and Zu Cu and Qing Wei also led the troops towards the gate.

"I'll go and inform the general here!"

The pawn led Liu Kun to the gatehouse and motioned for him to wait outside the door. When you want to serve in the Gaomi Palace, what kind of person has never been seen, it seems that if this general is lucky enough to return to the Central Plains and go to pay homage to the King of Gaomi, he has to look at the face of his Liu Peng. It's just that when I arrived at someone's land today, I was not allowed to reveal my identity, even if Liu Kun was outside the door, I couldn't help but be a little nervous.

There was a low laugh and a few shrill voices in the door, sounding as if a girl was playing.

In a short time, a crack opened in the door, and only half of the head of the gate pawn could be faintly seen, but the frolicking was heard more clearly.

"The general summoned you to go in alone. ”

"Then these ......," Liu Kun pointed to the large and small boxes carried by the pawn behind him.

"Let's put it here first, bring a gift list, and you don't dare to play any tricks. ”

Liu Kun hurriedly nodded in agreement, asked the servant for a gift slip, and stepped into the room.

Even though it was daytime, the few windows in the room were covered with a thick layer of bast paper, as if to resist the cold wind of the north, but the room was poorly lit and unusually dim.

In the center, a great circle was made with candles, and a curtain was tied. Through the flickering firelight, Liu Kun could vaguely see a middle-aged man, wearing a short robe, disheveled, and his appearance was not good. But he held a woman in one hand, clad in tulle, and snuggled in his arms. One held the melon and fruit, and the other held the wine glass and handed it to the man's mouth.

"I heard that your lord's family is a wealthy businessman?

"That's right, General Tianwei will be able to deter Xiaoxiao, and it is not a tribute to be a little polite here, and I hope that the general will see it. ”

Liu Kun bent over, did not squint, and presented the gift list respectfully with both hands.

The guard laughed, "I have been in the border for many years, and these local chickens and dogs are naturally in awe of me, and they are insignificant." Anyway, it seems to be winter at this time, the military salaries and materials are not enough, and the soldiers are hungry and hungry. ”

The guard patted the woman lying next to him, and one of them stood up gracefully, twisted his body and walked in front of Liu Kun.

Liu Kun raised his eyes and peeked, the woman's eyes and teeth were bright, her facial features were deep, and her smile had a breathtaking charm, which was quite exotic, and her appearance was definitely not from the Central Plains.

The woman gently took the gift list and winked at Liu Kun, who hurriedly lowered her eyelids and didn't dare to look more.

"Silk, jewelry, goldware, yo, and a big pearl of the night, your lord is really rich, and the gift list used to make points is so rich, but I don't know what kind of items are being transported this time. The admiral rubbed his chin slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, and he did not take a sip of the wine that was handed to his lips.

The adults laughed, the adults worked hard to guard the border passes, and this small gift was just a little care. The profits of trade inside and outside the customs are well known to the world, and this time there are no valuable items transported, but some Central Plains specialties and grains, but the quantity is quite huge, so it is bothered to be blessed by the adults. ”

Liu Kun hurriedly bowed down and explained, in fact, in addition to weapons, armor, grain and grass this time, all valuable items are on this gift list, if this guard really wants to search, then he will definitely be exposed.

"Well, that's the case, pass on the lieutenant Jia Yuan, order five hundred soldiers and horses to accompany you. The general's surname is Ding Yan, and when you go back, remember to talk to your master about the general's kindness. ”

"As it should be, thank you, sir. ”

Liu Kun waved again, and the etiquette was thorough. Turning around and pushing open the door of the house, he was about to step out when he heard a sharp whistle ring through the sky.

Qing Wei and Zu Que restrained their horses, looking at the horse bandits lined up on the plain in front of them, roughly estimating, about three hundred. In the middle, there is a cavalry holding a big flag, the flag is shabby, filthy, and the two big characters on the book are barely legible, which is the word "begging for capture".

This Zhao Li don't look at a bandit, but also have some thoughts, the cottage banner does not play Bai Deng, does not write Zhao characters, just use this self-styled name to beg for capture, this is the self-proclaimed teacher is famous, and it is similar to the way of heaven.

"I don't know how the second brother is going. Zu Ke frowned, not long after he came out of the customs, he bumped into such an unfortunate thing, and he was really scared.

"It's better to prepare early, three hundred people, there should be a fight!"

Qing Wei crossed the golden tiger head spear, signaled his subordinates to prepare armor and sword soldiers, and prepared to rush to kill, but the ground began to shake slightly.

"There seem to be soldiers and horses approaching in the rear!"

Qing Wei looked back, the dust and smoke were billowing, and the snow on the ground was trampled by the horses' hooves, and the snow chips stirred up formed a white fog barrier. The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer.

"Big brother, third brother, I and Deputy Lieutenant Jia are here to support!"
