Pei Zifu said: "If I don't fulfill my promise, how can I be worthy of my parents' spirits in heaven." As long as Mr. Xiao can explain one more thing, he will be dispatched next. Xiao Dong said: "What do you explain?" Pei Zifu said: "Mr. Xiao is just a teacher who has no power to tie the chicken, how can he kill the military attache of the Jin State?" Xiao Dong smiled and said: "Mr. Teaching is good, but the power of the chicken is not necessarily." As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his bosom and caught it between his index and middle fingers. Pei Zifu and Xiao Yan were dumbfounded, how could they have imagined that the honest uncle was actually a master of martial arts. Luo Tianchu praised: "Good finger power!" Xiao Dong gently threw the silver ingot onto the table, and then sank into the sandalwood table.

Pei Zifu took a breath of cool air, took the silver ingot with his hand, but couldn't pick it out, and sighed: "Mr. Xiao really didn't deceive me." I should keep my promise and let them be at their disposal. Luo Tianchu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Boss Pei." Pei Zifu smiled and sighed: "I have enjoyed almost everything in the world, even if there are three long and two short, there is no big regret, I have made the worst plan for doing this." Xiao Dong asked Xiao Yan, "What about you, child? If you don't do it, my uncle will never blame you." You're still young, so you don't have to gamble with us. Xiao Yan resolutely said: "I am also from Liao, and I have a national hatred with Jin. Besides, no one knows darts better than me, and I have to join in. Xiao Dong nodded and said, "Ambitious, I am the man of Da Liao." ”

Luo Tianchu said: "Since we have the same aspirations, let's discuss the plan of action." Both of them are veterans of darts, do you have any suggestions?" Pei Zifu said: "Those fifty boxes must be extremely heavy, and at least fifteen carriages are needed. With the addition of the dart master and the executioner's mounts, it takes about fifty horses. There are not enough horses in the city, so they need to be seconded to the various sub-bureaus, but fortunately, the distance is not far, and they can be ready in one day. It's just that the scale of this dart is too large, and it's easy to arouse suspicion. As long as you investigate deeply, you can find out the flaws, and you must make up a suitable reason. ”

Xiao Yan said: "I think it can be broken into pieces and go out of the city in batches." If the target is small, no one will pay attention. Pei Zifu shook his head and said: "No, we can't cover the matter of shunting from the sub-bureau, and the sneaky will arouse suspicion, don't forget that Wanyan Wushu and Wanyanchang are still in the city." Luo Tianchu thought for a while and said: "Boss Pei is a businessman, and the business is naturally getting bigger and bigger, so let's not talk about bodyguards, but go to Yanjing to expand business, so it is reasonable to carry a lot of belongings." Pei Zifu nodded and said, "It's a good reason." But if you don't have bodyguards, you won't need to clear the customs papers, and the soldiers defending the city may check their luggage. Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "The exit of the treasure is outside the city, so you can really put some belongings in the luggage, and then change it into treasure when you get to the outside of the city." ”

Pei Zifu said: "This is the opposite, but Chang'an has thousands of mountains and rivers, not only the checkpoints of the Jin Kingdom, but also the checkpoints of the Qi State, and the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty is not safe, how to ensure the safety of the treasure?" Luo Tianchu was also worried: "Such a huge convoy must attract attention, how can you avoid the search?" After a period of silence, Xiao Yan said: "Take the waterway." Pei Zifu came to his senses and said: "Yes, we can enter Shandong through the Bohai Sea and enter the Wei River along the Yellow River, which is already the territory of the castle owner, and we can unload goods at any wharf." Luo Tianchu said happily: "The naval armies of the two countries are useless, and it is indeed a clever plan. The Xigang Wharf on the Wei River is only a few hundred miles away from Chang'an, and you can unload goods there, but you don't know how long it will take to take the waterway?"

Xiao Yan calculated: "It takes three days from Linzi to Hulukou, Boss Hu in Hulukou is my friend, it is not a problem to borrow someone and borrow a boat, and it depends on the mood of the sea god after setting sail from Hulukou." If the wind is calm, you can enter the Yellow River valley in fifteen days, and if you are unlucky enough to encounter a storm, it is possible to delay it for a month. After entering the Yellow River, you have to sail against the current, and the speed will be slower, and it will take you 20 days to reach the Wei River. It takes about a month and a half. Luo Tianchu pondered: "Now Wanyan Sticky Han is besieging Tongguan in a big way, Tongguan is located at the pass of the Yellow River and the Wei River, and the Jin army will definitely control that section of the river at that time, and our ships will not be able to enter the Wei River without the army withdrawing." Xiao Yan frowned and said, "That's not easy." Although there are many tributaries of the Yellow River that can go around the Wei River, the draft of the tributaries is too shallow for large boats to pass. ”

Luo Tianchu thought for a while and said: "Then there is only one way, when the time comes, I will hurry back to Tongguan, defeat Yan Muhan in a month, and lift the blockade on his river." Pei Zifu was surprised: "Wanyan Sticky Han is the first general of the Jin Kingdom, he has experienced a hundred battles, has insight into strategy, and the castle lord is confident that he can defeat him in a month?" Luo Tianchu said: "Since the defeat of the monk Yuan and the loss of the six counties of Xiangyang, the morale of the Jin army has been low. The successive wars also consumed a lot of grain and grass. So I judged that Yan Muhan would not fight a protracted war with us, his fighting style was nothing more than a strong attack and a surprise attack, as long as he could not succeed, it would be a matter of time before he withdrew. Pei Zifu laughed and said: "What the castle lord said is reasonable, but if the Jin soldiers still don't retreat after a month, then we have to catch carp on the Yellow River to eat." Luo Tianchu also smiled: "That's also an elegant thing." ”

The bright light unconsciously shines through the window paper, and a few sparrows chirp outside the window. The candelabra was filled with dried wax, and when the windows were opened, the sky was gray, and the breeze carried the fragrance of the leaves of the distant mountains, and the first rays of dawn were soon coming. The details of their operation have also been finalized, and Pei Zifu spreads the news of the expansion of business to Yanjing and seconds horses to the sub-bureau. Xiao Yan immediately set off to Hulukou to negotiate with Boss Hu about borrowing a boat. Luo Tianchu's people will transport the treasures out of the cave one after another tonight, leaving two masters to take care of them. These tasks will take at least three days to complete, and the biggest difficulty during this period is to survive the wedding of Yeluqi and Wanyan Wushu, so it is necessary to wipe out all the golden people today.

At this time, the sky was bright, Pei Zifu and Xiao Yan made a pot of strong tea to refresh themselves, and Luo Tianchu and Xiao Dong were still in good spirits. Yeluqi had been sleeping on her desk for an hour, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and she looked like a lovely child. Luo Tianchu put on a human skin mask and prepared to return to the palace, but he couldn't bear to wake her up. Pei Zifu said: "I have prepared a carriage outside the mansion, and the county lord can rest in the car." Luo Tianchu said: "Boss Pei bothered. After speaking, he picked up the sleeping Yeluqi and said, "We'll get in touch tonight." Seeing that Xiao Dong didn't get up, he asked, "Isn't Mr. Xiao leaving?" Xiao Dong said: "The old man is just a shadow, he only appears when he should appear, please take the first step in the castle master." ”

The one who drove the car was the head of the house, Ding, who was also Pei Zifu's most trusted person, and the two of them didn't ask a word after getting in the car, and slowly drove the carriage. Early morning is the beginning of the day, full of life and hope. The vendors and shops were busy, and the owner of the silk village unloaded the door panel with a sigh of relief, urging the men to sweep the fallen leaves in front of the door. Stalls have also been set up in front of the hotels, selling breakfast in the store, and other fried cakes, mutton soup, and steamed buns are also competing to attract business. Everything seemed so ordinary, but Luo Tianchu knew that this was the calm before the mountain rain was coming, and he decided to meditate and return to his senses immediately after going back, and to raise his spirit to the peak before the noon wedding. Wan Yanchang's martial arts are unfathomable, but he is not afraid, but a little eager to try. (To be continued.) )
