Zhao Bufan quietly left Huayue Tower, went directly to the Logistics Department to apply for a horse, and rushed to Juxianzhuang overnight. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Great Song Dynasty war horses are very scarce, in the infantry of the box army stationed at the border pass, the quota of war horses is very small, and the commander and above have special horses to travel, and the subordinates are not equipped at all, when there is really an urgent need for horses, then they must also apply for borrowing from the logistics department, and they must be returned immediately after performing the task, even if it is the deputy commander.

After Zhao Bufan bought Juxian Village, Zhuangzi gave him fifty horses, but none of them rode to Yantou Village, and the horses he rode back last time were also given to He Daye and Wu Song, so now he can only go to the Logistics Department to apply for it, but fortunately, he is the deputy commander, and the use of military supplies does not need Luo Ash's approval.

Hurry up and drive all night, and the next morning, he successfully arrived at Juxianzhuang and went directly to the apricot garden.

Passing through the vestibule, I happened to meet Wu Song practicing on the bluestone slab, and immediately asked, "Second Brother Wu, where is Zhang Jiaotou?"

Wu Song was dressed as a brand-new walker with a golden hoop on his head, and when he saw him walking into the apricot garden, he immediately put away the Qinglong and White Tiger swords and happily greeted him.

"I just saw Zhang Jiaotou taking care of the garden, he knows that you like those flowers, and he is afraid that no one will take care of them and they will wither, so you have to fiddle with them every morning and evening!"

"Well, then trouble Second Brother Wu to take me to him!"

"Okay!" Wu Song responded, and immediately took Zhao Bufan to the central garden of the courtyard.

Seeing Zhang Jiaotou bending over to cut dead branches from a distance, Zhao Bufan smiled slightly and walked forward slowly.

"Zhang Jiaotou, you have a heart!"

"Eh, you are the great benefactor of our Zhang family and the Lin family, what is this little thing!" Zhang Jiaotou smiled and waved his hand, put down the big scissors in his hand, and smiled calmly: "The owner of the village hasn't been gone for two days, why did he suddenly rush back, is there something urgent?"

Zhao Bufan smiled: "Zhang Jiaotou is really wise, nothing can escape your eyes, and this time I came back to bother Zhang Jiaotou to do something!"

"The owner of the village is too polite, what do you say about the trouble, just give the order!" Zhang Jiaotou said.

"Okay! It's all my own, so I won't be verbose. As he spoke, Zhao Bufan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Jiaotou: "I bother you to hire a few honest and strong tenants immediately, take them to drive a carriage to Bianliang, Tokyo, and send 10,000 yuan worth of gold to Cai Jing, don't worry about anything else, this letter must be handed over to Cai Xiang by hand, don't shy away from anything!"

At this time, the imperial court has long been rotten, this mission is a little huge except for the amount, in fact, it is ordinary, Zhang Jiaotou used to be the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo, he saw more, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Yang Jian, Gao Yu, Liang Shicheng, Wang Huang, these people who were favored by the emperor, but when the birthday is approaching, the birthday gang from all over the country is paying tribute, it is an endless stream, Zhang Jiaotou has seen a lot, and he is naturally used to it. Although he did not advocate this, he also deeply understood the current way of the world, and sighed helplessly.

"Owner, send this gold over, there will be no way back in the future, in the hearts of many people, you will also become a traitor, which is far from the owner's heart!"

Zhao Bufan smiled slightly: "Let them say go!"

Zhang Jiaotou looked at him deeply, and arched his hand: "Since the owner of the village has made up his mind, then I will leave, does the owner have any other instructions?"

"If you meet young orphans along the way, as long as the character is not finalized, or the heart is kind, then bring it back as much as possible!"

Zhao Bufan's words made Zhang Jiaotou a little stunned, but he quickly agreed.

It took more than two hours for Zhao Bufan to count the gold, pack it and seal it, and before leaving, he once again instructed Zhang Jiaotou to send it to Tokyo as soon as possible. After getting these, he didn't stop for a moment, picked up a horse of his own in the stable, and also brought the horse brought by the logistics department, the two horses changed, and quickly rushed back to Yantou Village.

After a night's rest, Zhao Bufan came to the practice ground outside the village, but instead of practicing as usual, he took off the package on his shoulder, messed his hair, and smeared his face with mud, and then put on tattered clothes like a beggar, held a broken bowl, and completely pretended to be a beggar.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no problem with his dress, he strolled back to the village, along the bluestone street, and begged outside the command department in a short time. He had a short experience of begging when he was a child, so he learned the behavior of beggars very similarly, and no one knew that he was Zhao Bufan.

Soon, Luo Ash came to the command department and walked in front of him, but he didn't recognize him at all.

Zhao Bufan disguised himself as a beggar wandering here, without saying a word, and followed Luo Ash day and night.

During this time, Luo Ash was anxious to trap him, so it was the time to panic and use his means, and he firmly believed that he would definitely be able to dig up Luo Ash's secret.

One, two, three......

Five days later, rumors began to circulate that Zhao Bufan was missing in the city, and some rumors spread in the streets and alleys, Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen sent people to look around, and even Li Miao, the governor of Bazhou, was alarmed, and sent people to investigate the disappearance, and Luo Ash's activities became more and more frequent, his face was very gloomy every day, Zhao Bufan's sudden disappearance made him inexplicably uneasy, and he was afraid that his plan would change.

But Zhao Bufan still didn't show up, he still turned into a wandering beggar and followed Luo Ash every day, only sleeping when Luo Ash was dealing with army affairs every day, and staring closely at it the rest of the time.

Late at night on the first day of November, Zhao Bufan was hiding at the top of the big locust tree outside Luo Gray's house, and suddenly saw a man in black rushing out of it, very fast.

This figure is too familiar, Zhao Bufan stares at him every day, he already remembers it clearly, and immediately understands that this is Luo Ash.

"Hmph, I really got to wait!"

With a secret sneer in his heart, Zhao Bufan urged Qinggong, followed lightly from afar, hid and hid along the way, and gradually came to a very inconspicuous dilapidated compound.

When Luo Ash entered the courtyard, he poked his head out and carefully observed for a long time, and after confirming that there was no one on the street, he instantly dodged into the house and closed the door.

Zhao Bufan hurriedly ran to the outside of the courtyard wall, took a short look, ran a few steps towards the corner, and jumped into the courtyard lightly with his legs on the wall. At this time, the courtyard was blinded by black lights, only the candlelight was lit in the hall in front of him, Zhao Bufan held his breath and concentrated, his luck restrained his breath, and he bowed down like a ghost and dived over.

With his back against the wall, his eyes focused on the cracks in the worn windows, and he quickly saw what was going on.

In addition to Luo Ash, there are two people in the room, a man and a woman, the woman has her back to the window, Zhao Bufan can't see her face clearly, she only feels a little familiar, and the other man can only see one hand because of his sight, and he still has a huge green jade wrench on his thumb.

The status of these three people was obviously the highest in that woman, and Luo Shen was a little trembling and frightened in front of her, and she didn't speak very neatly. "My lord, I have been doing what I am told, this winter the Liao army is coming, our Yantou Zhai Dongzhai will definitely be lost, now the biggest problem is Zhao Bufan, this kid has a high prestige, and at the critical moment, the soldiers will still listen to his command, and this wild boy does have some real skills!"

The woman spoke, and her voice was very cold: "This is your business, I can't take care of it, Master Tong has already issued a strict order, this time the Liao army will commit another crime, we must let them come in, and the Great Song Dynasty will be painfully beaten, and the Great Song Dynasty will suffer heavy losses! The Liao army invaded in the winter of last year, and the planning was so thorough, but it was destroyed by Li Miao and Zhao Bufan respectively, one stubbornly defended Ping'an Village, and the other stubbornly defended Bazhou City, which stopped the Liao army's offensive pace alive, so that the Liao State could not open the situation for a long time, and finally the Zhejia army came to the aid in the spring of last year, resulting in the failure of the plan.

"Humble knows!" replied Luo Ash respectfully.

The woman was cold: "I repeat this process not to let you know, but to learn a lesson, when Bazhou City was so well planned, Zhizhou Li Miao has been forced to go out to rescue the Xin'an Army, and the capital eunuch who stayed in Bazhou City was also killed by us and the Liao State, but Lu Man's fool was counterattacked by a small soldier, and let this little soldier with more than 700 Song soldiers and a group of people actually defend Bazhou for more than half a month, which is an unforgivable mistake."

You should know Lu Man's fate, now this little soldier has become the deputy commander, and has also become Cai Jing's person, and you spent more than half a year but failed to kill him, how are you better than Lu Man? Lord Tong is already very disappointed in you, if it weren't for your parents who were kind to him, he would have let your head fall to the ground! Now there is only one month left, if you still can't do it, you know the consequences!"

Luo Gray's expression changed greatly, and he begged with a sad face: "Zhao Bufan is really not an ordinary person, he is more ruthless than me, it's really not that I don't do my best, can I think of a way from above?" I am only one level older than him, and I am really powerless many times!"

The woman snorted coldly: "Above, which one is above? You are Li Miao above, there is a dead-eyed person like him sitting in Bazhou, is so easy to deal with? That is a person who is also a scruple of three points, you want to buy him to frame Zhao Bufan? Okay, you go and try to buy it, see if Li Miao cuts off your head first, or Zhao Bufan's head first! The reason why you came here is because you are the best at this level to frame Zhao Bufan, and then hand over the evidence to Li Miao and use Li Miao to behead him. ”

As she spoke, the woman turned her head.

The moment he saw her face, Zhao Bufan couldn't control his breath no matter what!!

That's none other than Xue Ling, it's Xue Ling after heavy makeup!!

Xue Ling, who first saw Bazhou City, was dressed up delicately and lively, carved in pink and jade, with earrings, headdresses, hand ornaments, and foot ornaments, complex but very layered, like a little sister in the family. Xue Ling, who appeared as Cai Jingyi's daughter, was dressed fresh and elegant, just like everyone's ladies. Xue Ling, who appeared at this moment, was dressed gorgeously and thickly, like a ruthless demon girl.

The only thing they have in common is that their faces are cold, so cold that they have no expression when they speak.

How can this make Zhao Bufan calm down? How can he not be surprised?

In an instant, there was a moment of violent fluctuation in the rhythm of his breathing, and the hidden qi machine leaked!

Xue Ling and the man with the green jade wrench were both aware of it in an instant.

"Who?"

Zhao Bufan didn't think much about it, he directly turned around and grabbed the wooden pillar of the house, jumped onto the roof with a few steps, and fled quickly.

Xue Ling and the man with the green jade wrench broke through the door and window and rushed out, looking up to see the black shadow on the roof fleeting, but it was a step too late after all.

"Oh no! is a beggar with strong martial arts? Is it a member of the beggar gang? I'll chase it!" said the man with the green jade wrench.

The strange light in Xue Ling's eyes flashed, and she suddenly grabbed him: "Don't chase it, this person is not weak, he may not be able to catch up, don't cause a commotion, since he is dressed as a beggar and has high martial arts, it should be a member of the beggar gang, you send someone to check inside the beggar gang, it is better than exposing your identity here!"

"Okay, then I'll go first!" The man with the green jade wrench was very decisive, and immediately flew up to the roof with light skills, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xue Ling didn't care about him anymore, her cold face turned to the place where Zhao Bufan disappeared, and she muttered silently in her heart.

Zhao Bufan, I helped you stop him, but I saved your life, you owe me!
