The young man was also paying attention to the master's side when dealing with Rong'er.

When the old man saw a few soldiers here, he felt a lot more at ease. Listening to the conversation between the master and Zhang Lu, I roughly understood their current situation.

The master is actually the young master, but the concubine Rong'er calls him the master in private.

He is Wang Shihao, the eldest young master of the Wang family, a big businessman in Yueyang County. The head of the family is old, and he wants to choose one of his three sons to be the head of the family, and he asks the three sons to use it in three years, and whoever earns the most money will be the head of the family. The three sons worked hard to make money, and they all wanted to sit in the position of the head of the family.

Wang Shihao came to Pingyang County this time to discuss a big business. Because the things he carried were extremely valuable, he brought his own butler and hired the chief dart head of the Yongquan Dart Bureau with a team of dart masters to escort the darts in person.

Rong'er is Wang Shihao's newly married concubine, because she is greedy for beauty, she is reluctant to be separated from Rong'er for a long time, so she took Rong'er on the road together.

The routes were all temporarily chosen by Wang Shihao, and it stands to reason that no one could have arranged an ambush in advance, but along the way, he was sacked by bandits several times.

Huang Baozhong took fifty bodyguards with a dart master, and now only he and Ah Zheng are left to continue to guard. This made him regret taking this dart very much, and the dart master suffered many casualties, and the blow to the dart game was significant. Fortunately, Wang Shihao promised to pay twice as much money after the dart bet, so that he could reluctantly accept it.

Now only Wang Shihao and his concubine, housekeeper, groom and Huang Baozhong's master and apprentice are left. He was terrified along the way, for fear of being discovered, and the fear in his heart drove him crazy.

That's why Wang Shihao was so excited when he suddenly saw the three Pingyang County government soldiers.

It is natural for officers and soldiers to catch thieves, and with the intervention of the government, presumably the bandits will be reined in. You must know the fierceness of the soldiers of Pingyang County, which is well-known in the nine counties of Muzhou.

Zhang Lu's face remained unchanged, and he shook his head and waved his hand to interrupt Wang Shihao's words.

"Wang Dashao, you have found the wrong person, we are the soldiers of the Pingyang County Government, not the Pingyang County Government, and it is their business to catch thieves and bandits, but it is not under the control of our government soldiers. If you want to go, go to the police and find them. ”

I finally saw the soldiers of the government, how could I just let them shirk it, this is a major matter that threatens their lives and future.

Wang Shihao was anxious, and stood up with a "pong".

"Master Jun, you are soldiers, they are bandits, and soldiers and bandits have not been separated since ancient times. How about I hired you to protect me and send me to Pingyang County for three hundred taels of silver?"

Seeing that Zhang Lu still disagreed, Wang Shihao was ruthless and stretched out five fingers.

"Then five hundred taels, the price is negotiable, if it's not enough, you can mention it!"

Zhang Lu was unmoved, and simply remained silent. The pillar and the forest were a little dizzy by the sky-high silver price, and they were quite moved. However, seeing that the old man avoided the snake and scorpion, he extinguished this thought.

Lao Shichang is not the kind of person who has a advantage and does not take advantage, since he does not want to get his hands dirty, it means that this matter cannot be touched. They trust the judgment of the old man.

Wang Shihao is extremely angry, Zhang Lu doesn't want to help him, he can't force Zhang Lu to help him, right?

After being quiet for a while, Wang Shihao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said to Zhang Lu: "The government soldiers have the duty to defend the place, and there are a large number of bandits in Pingyang Mansion. As a soldier, you know that there are thieves who are hurting the people, but you do not stop them. What will be the result when it is transmitted to Pingyang Mansion?"

Zhang Lu, who looked indifferent, finally changed color, if this crime is deducted on his head, it will be light if he does not die.

This is a * annoyance, dare to haunt so frequently near Pingyang County, the thieves who kill people and rob money are by no means ordinary, and they dare not resist the pressure of the government so unscrupulously without absolute strength.

But the problem is that now they have only three government soldiers, how can they deal with that group of fierce thieves? Money is a good thing, but if you have money, you have to spend your life.

Wang Shihao is not stupid, as soon as he said this, it made it difficult for Zhang Lu to ride a tiger. Don't agree, unless Wang Shihao and they are all wiped out by thieves, otherwise a major dereliction of duty will not be able to run away at that time.

Zhang Lu's expression changed, and finally sighed: "Since you said so, we have the responsibility to maintain the safety of Pingyang Mansion. But I need to know the details, and you have to cooperate. ”

Wang Shihao was overjoyed, and this was what he was waiting for.

"It must be, we will answer whatever the military master asks. Afterwards, I will definitely give a lot of thanks. ”

Zhang Lu nodded, looking at Huang Baozhong.

"Yellow Darthead, I want to know all the details of the thieves' attack on you. Also, do you know which thief ambushed you?"

Huang Baozhong's face was ugly, and he slowly spit out two words: "Black Mountain." ”

"What, it's from Montenegro?" Zhang Lu and the others were shocked.

Montenegro is not a mountain, but a group of extremely vicious bandits and thugs! Montenegro has no fixed residence, wanders around and plunders, and most of them are active in the Muzhou region.

When they find a target, they rob it, and when they finish it, they leave, and they are very fierce and brutal, killing people at every turn. There are very few people who can survive in their hands.

The county officials encircled and suppressed many times, but the result was either not surrounded, or they broke through with heavy losses.

No one knows how many Montenegrin thieves there are, but they are dispatched in teams every time, a team of ten people, each with extraordinary skills. One man, one horse, strong mobility.

Every time the news of Montenegro's infestation reaches the county government, and then the government army is dispatched, the Montenegrin bandits have already retreated. For more than ten years, banditry in Montenegro has been the most troublesome thing in the counties of Muzhou.

"Judging from the past situation, the targets targeted by Montenegro thieves rarely missed. I don't think the dozens of you guys will be able to withstand a few of their ambushes. ”

Zhang Lu said to Huang Baozhong: "I didn't mean to underestimate you, it's just that the Black Mountain thieves have always been difficult to deal with. ”

Huang Baozhong nodded and said, "What Zhang Junye said is right, I have fought with them and know their strength. I thought I was the best at it, and the three of them could get away with me. Later, I sacrificed my life to exchange injuries for injuries, and only one was solved, and my dart master ...... but they were all dead and wounded. ”

He was sad when he said this.

Zhang Lu said solemnly: "I'm afraid their goal is not as simple as ordinary property, it looks like they want to be captured alive." Wang Dashao, what did you bring so that they had to stay alive?"

Wang Shihao's eyes flickered, and he said lightly: "How do I know? If I know, I'll give it to them." ”

Zhang Lu couldn't ask anything, and he no longer insisted.

The old butler spoke: "Master Jun, what are you, not only these soldiers, right? If we recruit them nearby, we will be safer, aren't we?" ”

"The rest of my soldiers have a mission to do, and they will follow us, and they should be able to follow when it is dawn. ”

"The Montenegrin thieves will definitely come back, and there is no other way now. The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, so be it. Rest first, wait for dawn to leave, now everyone is a little more alert. ”

Zhang Lu waved his hand and went to discuss with Lin Zi and Zhuzi.

Everyone was kicking and kicking, but they were all physically and mentally exhausted. Arrange for the groom to cook some food, and rest after eating.

Zhang Lu arranged tasks for Lin Zi and Zhuzi, and glanced at the young man. I saw that his eyes had been rolling around Rong'er, who had been helping to make the soup. I can't help but slander, this kid is also a pervert, a fellow practitioner.

The young man was looking at the beautiful women in a daze, and when he came back to his senses, the beautiful women in front of him were gone, and he became a bad old man with a cheap smile.

"Oh oh!" the boy screamed, almost scared to pee.

slapped the old face away, and said angrily: "What are you doing?"

"Look, Sichun? ”

Seeing that the young man's expression was not good, he hurriedly said seriously: "The old man is looking for you to do me a favor." ”

"Yo, how powerful you are, you can knock me to the ground with one hand, how can I help you. At that time, it doesn't matter who comes, you will be overwhelmed by all your might. The boy sarcastically sneered.

Zhang Lu pretended not to hear the young man's sneer, and said very seriously: "Our current situation is very dangerous, if the Black Mountain thieves chase after us, we will not be enough to kill." If you don't want to die like this, do me a favor, and we still have a chance to turn the tables around. ”

"How do you want me to help you?"

The boy knows the severity, and in order not to hang up on the first day of becoming a mortal, it is better to cooperate well.

"Don't expect me to help you fight, I can't beat any of them. The boy first explained that he had been beaten.

You just want to fight, I don't dare to let you go, isn't that just to give people seconds? Zhang Lu complained in his heart.

"I just asked, and Huang Darttou said that he was alone, killing three along the way and severely injuring more than a dozen. The Montenegrin thieves acted in teams, with a team of about ten people. It is clear that the Montenegrin thieves have dispatched more than one team of men this time, and it seems that the target is something very important. ”

What's more, Wang Shihao's trip along the way was all planned by himself temporarily, and it was impossible for the Montenegrin thieves to ambush them several times in a short period of time. Therefore, if it weren't for Wang Shihao's own bitter tricks, then there must be internal ghosts. Zhang Lu said very firmly.

"And what do you want me to do?" the boy was not at all surprised, as if everything was expected.

"I see that your kid is very smart, and he doesn't seem to be nervous at all, if we find a way to find out the ghost before the Black Mountain Pirates find us, we can be sure that we can escape from tracking. Of course, the sooner the better. ”

"Yes, but will they listen to me?" the boy looked at his black body, which was no different from that of a beggar.

"I'll leave this to me. ”

A rich aroma of broth came to his nose, and the beggar's eyes were frighteningly bright, and saliva had already flowed from the corners of his mouth. The boy was dismissive, what was good about such a crude food, although he was so hungry now.

Wang Shihao instructed the groom to give each of the three military masters a copy, but Zhang Lu refused. Huang Baozhong's master and apprentice didn't ask for it, and only ate the dry food he brought.

When the butler saw the crowd like this, he knew what he was worried about. Without further ado, I took out a silver hairpin and tried it in every bowl of soup, proving that the soup was fine.

The beggar wanted it, but he didn't plan to give the beggar a bowl of broth. The housekeeper was kind enough to hand a bowl to the beggar, but was stopped by the young man and refused to go. In a hurry, he cried and stamped his feet.

The young man's eyes signaled, and Zhang Lu stood up at the right time.

"Don't drink the soup yet, there's something I want to say. Seeing that all the people had stopped, he continued:

"I think there's an inner ghost between you. ”
