Three days later, Cao Dayuan's injuries had improved and he was able to walk around on the ground. www.biquge.info Yang Xiangxiang dressed up as a black-faced boy and went to the street to buy a carriage, and she drove Cao Dayuan south.

"Where?" she asked.

Cao Dayuan said: "Hongze Lake." ”

Yang Xiangxiang asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Cao Dayuan said: "Second brother." ”

Yang Xiangxiang asked: "Should the sharp-billed crocodile be painted?"

Cao Dayuan said: "Yes, the second brother is from Hongzehu, and the eldest of Hongzehu is his shirtless brother, who grew up together. ”

Yang Xiangxiang said: "The boss of Hongze Lake is very famous in the rivers and lakes, known as the 'Golden Retriever Water Monster', named Huangtoumao, specializing in robbing Hongze Lake, Gaoyou Lake and the merchants around the canal, because of his strange behavior, very cunning, so he is called 'Water Monster'." ”

Cao Dayuan said: "Xiangxiang is also very familiar with things on the waterway." ”

Yang Xiangxiang said: "Yes, there are several people under the military advisor who specialize in collecting intelligence on the waterway. ”

Cao Dayuan asked, "Could it be that a nest of wolves in Yinshan also wants to occupy a place in the waterway?"

Yang Xiangxiang said: "Can't you see it, of course." Passenger and freight transportation on the waterway is prosperous, and whoever occupies the water transport and wharf will have a lot of money and wealth. I heard that in today's rivers and lakes, the wealth of the old leader is in the first place. I'm waiting for the wolf clan, and I even dream of getting a piece of the waterway. ”

Cao Dayuan said: "Hmph, then why don't your bosses take me in and open the door to the waterway?"

Yang Xiangxiang said: "He just said that he still wanted to see, and waited, he didn't close the door to death." Perhaps, he has his point. ”

Cao Dayuan said: "Hmph, he is afraid that I will take away his power in the future, he is afraid of wolves and tigers, it is difficult to achieve great things." ”

The two sat in the car and chatted about the rivers and lakes. Yang Xiangxiang has Cao Dayuan, her heart is at peace, and she will never go outside to mess around, in her eyes, the most handsome man in the world is Cao Dayuan, and it is enough to have a confidant in life; Cao Dayuan has Yang Xiangxiang, there is youth and beauty in his eyes, and he feels that he is much younger, just like Xiangxiang is full of fresh youthful vitality, so that when he is terrible, he has ignited hope again and again, and since then, the loneliness and loneliness on the way to escape have been swept away. Chatting with Xiangxiang can release all the anger and distress in his heart.

It was an old two-horse carriage with a saddle under the seat, ready to be replaced by a single horse, and galloped away.

Cao Dayuan had become an expert at escaping, and the pursuit of the Yellow River was always one step too late, allowing him to get away with it. Perhaps, it was his luck, perhaps, because of his cunning.

Their carriage walked along the avenue next to the canal, and there was an endless stream of people and cars, and the spring field was full of greenery.

Cao Dayuan was wearing a soft-brimmed sun hat, the brim of the hat was pressed low, leaning against the window, looking at the scenery, and said, "I don't know what happened to the second brother and the golden retriever monster?"

Yang Xiangxiang asked, "What do you want the second brother to talk about?"

Cao Dayuan said: "Talk about cooperation." ”

Yang Xiangxiang said: "It won't work." ”

Cao Dayuan asked, "Huh, why?"

Yang Xiangxiang said: "You are too capable and too strong, and people dare not partner with you." ”

Cao Dayuan smiled bitterly: "Ha, is it? It's not a partnership, it's a cooperation." ”

Yang Xiangxiang asked, "What is the cooperation?"

Cao Dayuan said with a smile: "I can't tell you yet." ”

Yang Xiangxiang said: "Who is rare, only you are rare." You don't always understand. ”

Cao Dayuan smiled: "Okay, good, I don't understand, who can understand a woman's heart, in fact, a woman's heart is deeper than the rivers and lakes." ”

walked like this for two or three days, and when he arrived at Huai'an Mansion, Cao Dayuan's leg injury had basically healed. On the head of Huai'an City, a wanted notice of the Criminal Department was posted, and the reward for the wanted Ding Piaopeng was tripled: Anyone who could provide reliable information that led to Ding Piaopeng's arrest or death would be rewarded with 300,000 taels of snowflakes and silver for those who provided information. Under the wanted warrant, countless men and women gathered, and everyone talked about it, and they were amazed by the reward. Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. Now, there are countless eyes staring at Ding Piaopeng, the old dragon head will never betray Ding Piaopeng, that's for sure, the old dragon's temperament he couldn't be clearer. However, if the old dragon head insists on going his own way and protecting Ding Piaopeng, once the evidence is obtained, it will violate the imperial law, and all his passenger ships and cargo ships, dock warehouses and mule and horse carts on the 36 waterways will be confiscated by the government, all the rudder owners will be arrested and killed, and all the backbone leaders will be thrown into prison. Cao Dayuan wants to see the day when the old dragon head is gone.

After reading the wanted warrant of the new list, Cao Dayuan was very happy, and that day, his appetite was also opened, and he even ate two more bowls of rice.

Cao Dayuan lives in the Canal Inn in Huai'an, the Canal Inn is a stone's throw away from the canal, and only a mile away from the downtown area.

The Canal Inn has three depths and dozens of guest rooms, and he wrapped the courtyard of the last one, so that it is quiet and stable. instructed the shopkeeper: If someone comes to find Cao Ye, say that they live in the backyard.

As soon as it got dark the next day, a shopkeeper came in, wrapped in a headband, with some beard on his face, and a towel on his shoulder, saw Yang Xiangxiang and asked, "May I ask the guest officer, is there a Cao Ye here, someone is looking for it outside." Yang Xiangxiang said: "Yes, yes, please let him in." The shopkeeper didn't say anything, smiled, closed the courtyard door reflexively, took off his headscarf and beard, and said, "Hello sister-in-law, don't you know my little brother?" Yang Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, then recognized it, and said: "Hey, dead ghost, scare me to death." The sharp-billed crocodile entered the house, and the three of them were very affectionate, politely exchanged, ordered a few drinks and dishes, closed the doors and windows, and talked while eating. Cao Dayuan liked to drink spirits and ordered two bottles of high Beijing Erguotou.

The sharp-billed crocodile should be colorful, in his thirties, thin and thin, with sharp-beaked monkey gills, but the eyes are dark and bright, and the bones are spinning around, revealing agility. Yang Xiangxiang poured wine for them.

Cao Dayuan said: "Come, let's do one of the brothers." Cao Dayuan raised his glass to toast.

Ying said: "Thank you, brother, okay, do one." With a ding, the two wine glasses touched, and the two of them leaned their necks.

Cao Dayuan asked, "Did you see the yellow hair of the golden retriever monster?"

Ying touched the color and said: "I saw it." ”

Cao Dayuan asked: "How did you talk about cooperation?"

Ying Mocai said: "The conversation collapsed a few days ago, and Huang Tou Mao said, it's not worth taking such a big risk for 100,000 taels of silver, he won't do it." Today he changed his hexagram, he came to me and said, touch the lottery, let's do it, Chengguan hangs a new wanted warrant from the Criminal Department, Ding Piaopeng's head is worth 300,000 taels of silver, let's say it's okay, as soon as the reward arrives, we will divide it immediately. Then each of them went to his own side, and the road was facing the sky, and each of them went on both sides. ”

Ying Mocai said: "Huang Tou Mao means that the division of labor is clear, so as not to pull off, all the information is provided by us, and Huang Tou Mao cooperates; the action plan is jointly agreed; the manpower and material resources of the action are provided by Huang Tou Mao, and we participate; if the situation changes, then the camera will act, so that the whole body advances and retreats, and nothing goes wrong." ”

Cao Dayuan praised: "It is worthy of being a Hongze water monster, with careful thinking and a good hand." ”

Ying Mocai said: "Meticulous, he is also too meticulous, you know how the reward is divided, he wants 250,000 out of 300,000, and we only get 50,000." This is called exhaustive strategy, counting into the bones of people, counting in and out. ”

Cao Dayuan laughed and said, "Second brother, have you heard that the strong dragon is invincible to the ground snake, this is on his land." I don't value silver, as long as the old dragon head is planted, the old dragon head is planted, and our brothers can regroup and seize power in chaos. With the territory, what are you afraid of? ”

Ying Mocai said: "Brother is right, I listen to my brother." ”

Cao Dayuan said: "He didn't mention taking you and me in?"

Ying Fucai poured the wine glasses of Cao Dayuan and Yang Xiangxiang and said, "Come, I'll give my brother and sister-in-law a glass." The wine glass touched, and said: "Do it first for respect." With a squeak, I tilted my neck, and the bottom of the cup was dry again. He lowered his head and picked up the vegetables, and said: "Huang Toumao said at the time, I want to stay, he wants, my brother wants to stay, Hong Ze is shallow, he can't afford to raise it." I am a road to the dark, where my brother goes, my little brother will follow him, he doesn't keep us, let's go elsewhere to mix, we don't believe that we can't get a look, with our brother's energy, sooner or later we can get ahead. ”

should touch the lottery's loyalty, Cao Dayuan has nothing to say. Huang Toumao's attitude was also expected, he didn't feel strange, and said: "It's actually casual to stay, let's take a look at the two brothers, don't worry." Let's have a drink together. ”

The three of them poured their wine and toasted again. Cao Dayuan is a large amount, used to be good wine, often have to get drunk before resting, since the defeat of Jiujiang, in order to survive, he never dared to indulge in drinking and making mistakes, to escape must be sober, counterattack must be sober, he said: "As long as we catch the old dragon's head harboring the evidence of the crime of Ding Piaopeng, we can salted fish and turn over, the sea is dusty, where we fall, we will get up from where, maybe, the place where our brothers pull the pole in the future will be in Wuhan again." ”

Yang Xiangxiang said: "I also like Wuhan, for some reason, I like Wuhan very much. ”

Ying Mocai said: "What's strange, you met our brother in Wuhan, there are duck necks in Wuhan that are easy to gnaw, and Wuchang fish is delicious, Wuhan is good." ”

Yang Xiangxiang gave Ying Mocai a chopstick on his head and said, "You are smart and know more." ”

Ying touched her scalp and said with a smile: "How can anyone be a sister-in-law like that, my little brother dares to hit my head, my brother has never hit me." ”

Cao Ayuan smiled: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble." To be serious, you see, when the old dragon head leaves Handan, will he return to Nanjing from the waterway through Hongze Lake and Gaoyou Lake?"

Yang Xiangxiang said: "It's not clear. ”

Ying said: "There are many possibilities, the biggest possibility is to go to Nanjing, Nanjing is one of the three headquarters of the 36 waterways, the old dragon head has to live in Nanjing for about 200 days every year, and the other two headquarters Luoyang and Guangzhou, together only live for 160 days." Nanjing has the three favorite troupes of the old dragon, as well as his favorite concubine Ge Jiaojiao. Originally, he would have taken the dry road, which was much faster, but now, he took the seriously injured Ding Piaopeng, on the one hand, Ding Piaopeng could not withstand the bumps, on the other hand, the dry road was checked tightly, and he could not walk, he must take the waterway to Nanjing. ”

Yang Xiangxiang said: "How does the second brother know so much?"

Ying Mocai said: "All this information is bought with money, and the price is expensive, so it's not easy to get it." ”

Cao Dayuan said: "That's the ability of the second brother, the second brother beware, don't reveal the hidden." ”

Ying Mocai said: "This is natural, not a joke. ”

Yang Xiangxiang said: "Da Yuan, don't worry, the little brother is a ghost elf, who can compare to him." ”

The three of them talked and laughed, time flew by, and before they knew it, it was late at night.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and there was a shout outside the door: "Open the door, open the door." ”

Cao Dayuan blew out the lights with a "poof", and the three people in the room invariably the guys together.
