Chapter 179: Back to the City
Zhou Tong changed the topic: "It's not early, we should go back, otherwise, it's going to be dark!"
Zeng Huai looked up at the sky: "It's really not early, you go back in the carriage first." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Zhou Tong suggested: "You just send someone to send me into the city, in a remote place, and I will walk back to the inn by myself, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble." β
Zeng Huai was a little worried: "Is this okay?"
Zhou Tong said: "How to say, I have also brought it in the rivers and lakes, at least half of the people in the rivers and lakes, if the adults are really not at ease, then you give me a set of clothes, I put on a little makeup, with my skills, no one will find out." β
Zeng Huai said: "Okay, I'll ask someone to prepare some ordinary clothes for you." β
"Then I'll go first!" Zhou Tong said, "We'll have a date later!"
Zeng Huai watched Zhou Tong get into the carriage and then leave, still a little apprehensive in his heart, and said to the people around him: "You take a good look at me, Zhou Tong, it will be the key to winning or losing, understand?"
The subordinates around him agreed to retire.
The carriage back to the city was relatively fast, after entering the city, Zeng Huai's men got off in an uninhabited alley, and two people sentry and found a very ordinary dress for Zhou Dong, Zhou Dong squeezed into the crowd after changing, and entered the inn from the back door of the inn unconsciously.
In the inn, Zhou Tong successfully avoided everyone's eyes and ears, and even the shopkeeper and his buddies did not notice that this guest who had lived here for so long. Zhou Tong walked upstairs very casually, came to Pang He's room, and knocked on the door.
Pang He guessed that maybe the master had returned, but for the sake of caution, he opened the door slightly, and saw a person dressed as an ordinary person, standing in front of him, and after a closer look, he almost cried out. After looking around, he pulled the master closer to the room and closed the door: "Master, you're back!"
Zhou Tong smiled and said: "Yes, I'm back, our Zeng Master is a thousand uneasy, ten thousand uneasy, I don't know how to tell him." Now, it is estimated that he will increase his forces around the inn again. β
Pang He also sarcastically said: "As a parent official, I worked hard to be like this, and it was difficult for him." If there was really something wrong with his city defenses, I think, he would have collapsed. This governor of Jiangnan is not very good. β
Zhou Tong said very understandingly: "Since I knew him and understood him, he has been like this. By the way, what happened here after I left?"
Pang He said: "There is no big situation, master, from the moment you get into the carriage, we will go back to the room." I opened the window and looked downstairs at what was going on and noticed that something wasn't quite right with one of the guys in the inn. β
"What's wrong?" Zhou Tong asked.
Pang He replied, "Yes, I looked down from the window and vaguely saw him whispering to a few people, surrounded by a few people, and handing something in his hand. Then, I had a tentative chat with the old guy at the inn, who had only come in a few months earlier. Judging from this situation, this person is probably the eyeliner planted in the inn to listen to the situation of the inn. It stands to reason that this guy is not Chao Gai's side, nor will it be Song Jiang's side, let alone Lord Zeng's side. Speaking of which, I have to admire this planner, who has done it really well. β
Zhou Tong said: "Actually, in our current situation, he can't hear any meaningful news, so it doesn't matter if he is by our side or not." I don't think they're just targeting us. Judging from what you just said, he should have gotten some valuable news. β
"It should be!" said Pang He, "but we also have to be careful!"
Zhou Tong nodded and said to Pang He: "He'er, you help me go to the room and take off my clothes, and I'll change these clothes first." β
Pang He hurriedly went to the master's room, found a piece of the master's clothes, and then quickly returned to his room and handed the wrapped clothes to the master. After Zhou Tong changed his clothes, he said to Pang He: "Okay, let's go out for a walk!"
Pang He was stunned for some reason, understood what the master meant, and the master took the lead, and the master and Su Ying were left and right, and went downstairs together, and said hello to the shopkeeper. Slowly passing by the place where the brawl had just taken place, as if nothing had happened, under the gaze of several people, he naturally walked away.
Zhou Tong said to Pang He: "Sure enough, there are more people here!"
Pang He responded: "Yes, it seems that it is getting more and more lively." β
Zhou Tong said: "I don't know how Song Jiang is going, if it goes well, plus Chao Gai's side, our goal will be easier to achieve." β
Pang He was about to speak, but someone deliberately approached, as if he wanted to hear something, Pang He said loudly: "Master, this Suzhou City, is it more lively every season?"
Zhou Tong said: "Why is the weather a little cold all of a sudden, let's go back first!"
Just as Pang He and Zhou Tong turned to leave, they saw Chao Gai coming out of that corner without knowing it, walked to Zhou Tong's side, and said softly: "Senior, please go back first, now here, it's not suitable to come out for a walk." β
Zhou Tong also responded softly: "Oh, I was about to go back, I have already thought about the thing you said, and now I happen to meet it, then I..."
"This, let's talk about it tomorrow, after today's toss of not knowing who it is, here, there are a lot more people, it's not convenient to talk now, I'm near here, I just saw you walking by, I came to remind you. Chao Gai said.
Zhou Tong said: "Then let's talk about it tomorrow, and then we will talk about it in detail, there are indeed many people here now, and it is not very convenient." β
In this way, Zhou Tong took Pang He and them back to the inn, Pang He said: "Master, we just came back from the street, and there are more officers and soldiers patrolling, but Chao Gai has some scruples about this, it should be explained that Chao Gai is not standing with Lord Zeng, otherwise, he should be happy that there are more patrols." β
Zhou Tong said: "Well, that's true, it's not just Chao Gai who is protecting Lord Zeng, it's Zeng Huai, judging from the situation I met in the afternoon, plus Song Jiang, maybe not standing with Lord Zeng." But the question is, if Chao Gai is not with that mysterious organization, then why did he come all the way from Shandong to wade through troubled waters. β
Pang He said: "It's really complicated, this Suzhou City is mixed, and it can be regarded as slowly clearing the clouds and seeing the day." β
Zhou Tong asked, "What is the mysterious situation of the Iron Armor Army now?"
Pang He replied: "A total of 6,000 people, of which 2,000 are now in Suzhou City, the other 3,000 are in each county town, and the remaining 1,000 are on standby outside Suzhou City." β
"Very good!" Zhou Tong said: "According to the current situation, don't move again, just arrange it like this, and wait until the end of the conference, and then the people in the county town will slowly enter Suzhou City." (To be continued.) )
