Chapter 149: A Chance Encounter
Xu Yang arched his hand to Chen Jialuo again: "I am not familiar with the place in the next life, and I have no relatives and no reason in Lanzhou, this matter of investigating intelligence can only be carried out by the helmsman Chen to arrange for elite soldiers and strong generals!"
The words are very serious, this matter is not a joke, if it is just Xu Yang alone, he will run away at any time, so many heroes of the Red Flower Society, if they are not careful and fall into the trap of the Qing court, it can really be said that the northwest sky is tilting, and he will become a sinner through the ages.
Chen Jialuo saw that he was serious, so he replied solemnly: "That's natural, please rest assured Xu Daxia, the helmsman of Lanzhou is a fine person, and he has already arranged for someone to infiltrate the local green camp and yamen, and wants to investigate some information, but it is not a big problem." ”
Xu Yang said again: "Those brothers who made trouble in the Green Camp last night also need to be arranged by the chief helmsman to investigate, but it is estimated that they are already unlucky, Hongday, this person, has far-reaching plans, unpredictable opportunities, and is ruthless, you all have to be careful, don't break the prestige of the Red Flower Society!"
Listening to his words, everyone admired and maintained the Red Flower Society in many ways, and they were all moved in their hearts and promised one after another.
After this arrangement, the specific candidate is naturally determined by Chen Jialuo, but he still needs to follow Xu Yang's train of thought, and it is impossible to say that Chen Jialuo has no fear in his heart.
However, if this thing can be completed, the biggest benefit will undoubtedly be Chen Jialuo and the Red Flower Society, no matter what Xu Yang can get in the end, at least the Red Flower Society will be famous in the rivers and lakes, so Chen Jialuo also has to cooperate.
At the moment, which masters are responsible for contacting the surrounding martial arts colleagues to participate in the grand event, which masters follow the Lanzhou rudder master to investigate the intelligence near the Qing army camp, and which ones go to track the location of the military rations, Chen Jialuo is assigned one by one, and the command is determined, even Xu Yang, who has been belittling him in his heart, has to praise him, this son can be!
After arranging everything, Xu Yang also asked Chen Jialuo for two companions so that he could act later.
Both of them are local congregants, including Long Si, who led the way before, and the other is Long Si's cousin, named Wang Biao, who is also a person as his name, sturdy, not tall, like a little tiger, it is said that he is good at using a ghost-headed knife, and he is a rare master in the rudder.
Xu Yang himself is not very interested in his martial arts, and in today's world, there are not many people who can make Xu Yang interested in martial arts, not to mention the so-called masters in this small place.
However, it is important to note that both of them are locals, which is very helpful for Xu Yang to infiltrate the local environment.
Sometimes luck is very important, and the next day, not long after Xu Yang led his two companions out, he noticed that something was wrong.
The city defense of Lanzhou City is much stricter than before, this is not Xu Yang's self-feeling, when he entered the city last night, in fact, the inventory was not strict, but at this time the city gate is obviously different, in addition to the ordinary guard soldiers, there are actually a few people dressed as warriors on the side, searching for suspected personnel at any time.
Xu Yang frowned, these martial artists seemed to be a little familiar, but they didn't remember seeing them there.
After turning around, the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest are all like this, this is only on the surface, there are more than 20 martial artists in total, and it seems that the martial arts are not weak.
If you count the dark pile, I'm afraid there are no thirty or fifty masters?
This kind of pomp reminds Xu Yang of a person.
That's right, it's Hongday.
Hongyang was in Cangzhou before, and he did the same, and the most of his subordinates were such people in the rivers and lakes, although he heard that he was reprimanded by Qianlong and disbanded most of them, it doesn't mean that he can't be re-recruited.
It seems that Hongyang should be in Lanzhou City at this moment.
This is not surprising, the Yellow River disaster, and the nearby important town is only Lanzhou, if you want to store military rations, there is no more suitable than Lanzhou.
Xu Yang finally remembered why those martial artists looked familiar.
It turned out that I had seen a few in the Prince's Mansion before.
It seems that this Hongtian has really moved to Lanzhou City.
However, why did Xu Yang always feel that something was wrong.
Xu Yang paced slowly, thinking about these tricks as he walked, and finally, with a flash of inspiration, he remembered why he had always had strange feelings.
Who is Hongday?
Among the many princes, he was known for his resourcefulness and decisiveness.
If you think differently and stand in Hongyang's position, how can you block the four gates and make the appearance of guarding the military rations?
Isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver?
Don't?
Just as he was thinking of the critical moment, he unexpectedly came up with a group of people, but Xu Yang didn't notice it, and bumped into a woman led by him.
"Oops!"
Two screams of pain, Xu Yang and the woman were in pain at the same time, and the collision was not light.
The woman is slightly shorter than Xu Yang, wearing a bright yellow shirt, with a slender figure, just covered with white gauze, and she can't see her appearance clearly, but judging from her figure and facial contours, she is obviously a Peugeot beauty.
She was also in a hurry, and when she turned around to talk to her companions, she didn't pay attention, and hit Xu Yang, who was also distracted, and her shoulder was hitting Xu Yang's rib wishbone.
With a snort, the woman took a few steps back and touched her shoulder, obviously in pain.
Xu Yang... It hurts even more, the rib wishbone is one of the weaknesses of people, the so-called soft underbelly, where the nerves are more dense, obviously the other party is also a person who practices martial arts, this collision, the strength is very great, Xu Yang exhaled again and again, and even tears came down for a while.
This is the stress instinct of the human body, and it is not something that Xu Yang can do if he wants to be stronger.
Seeing this, Long Si and Wang Biao hurriedly came up to support Xu Yang, looked up, and when they saw each other's outfits, their faces were a little unkind.
"It turned out to be a barbarian, and this Lanzhou City is also something you can rampage?" Wang Biao was a rough man and couldn't say anything good.
That group of people didn't want to care about it originally, it was just that they didn't look at the road while walking, and if they bumped into it, it should be no big problem, but as soon as the barbarian said it this time, the atmosphere was a little wrong.
An old man stood up from the ranks and said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the world can walk all over the world, why can't we go back to the people? If we talk about it, it is also you Han men who bump into our Hui women, and instead of apologizing, they insult us?
This group of Hui people was in a bad mood, the most precious treasure in the ministry was stolen, and they came in a hurry, but they lost the traces of the thieves near Lanzhou City, so they wanted to search in Lanzhou City.
But I didn't expect to go into the city yesterday and search for a day without results, today I wanted to go out of the city but saw the Qing soldiers at the city gate to stop and check, they have many swords on their bodies, naturally they can't pass the city gate of the check, but here is too long, I'm afraid the treasure has already been taken away and flying, how not to be anxious?
At this moment, Xu Yang's group bumped into him, Wang Biao spoke out again, and three points of anger were also aroused, how not to be annoyed?
Some people secretly thought, anyway, if you can't get out of the city for the time being, it's better to create chaos, maybe you can fish in troubled waters, and it is not necessary to get out of Lanzhou City?
So there were a few Hui people, and the blades on their waists were touched by their hands, and they were about to do it when the leader gave an order.
