Judging from Li Baohua's conversation with the two, there was another person who wanted this batch of food, and Lin Fengsheng secretly wondered: "Who is the master in their mouths? Brother Tang once said that as long as these two people escort him to Weichu safely, there will be no more relationship, then naturally it will not be Brother Tang. Who could this person be?"

It turned out that these two people were Wang Shijie and Wu Zhong of the Kunlun faction, and the two escorted Tang Tianyin all the way from the Great Song Dynasty to this point, but they had not left yet.

Guo Xian'er lowered her voice and said: "It seems that Li Baohua is going to sell the grain to these two old turtles, as long as they make a deal, we can punish him." When the time comes, everyone will get the stolen goods, and see what he has to say. So I went and asked where the bread was buried. With that, he got up and quietly returned.

Lin Fengsheng and Mei Ruoxue walked a few feet closer, hid behind a huge mountain rock, and listened carefully to the conversation between Li Baohua and Wang Wu.

I only heard Li Baohua say: "Two gentlemen, since you want to transport this batch of grain to the north, then store it here first, and the lower officials will send someone to guard it for you." If it is transported back to the Weichu Mansion and then transported back, it will not be a troublesome and futile effort, and it will be a little unstable. ”

Wang Shijie hummed and said, "This is reasonable, but you don't even know where the food and salary are, so why are you talking about guarding for us! Are you looking for us here just to see your pus-filled subordinates scurrying around like headless flies?" There was a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Wu Zhong laughed and said: "I think you are afraid of the kid surnamed Lin, don't be afraid, my master will take care of it for you." What kind of bullshit General Yunlu, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, Lao Tzu doesn't care at all!"

Li Baohua smiled again and again: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, the lower officials have found one of them, and the rest are nearby, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they will definitely find them and dedicate them to the two." ”

At that moment, Wang Shijie and Wu Zhong didn't speak anymore, but just urged the officials to hurry up the search.

Lin Fengsheng heard it clearly in secret, and said secretly: "Li Baohua is really cunning, and he is secretly trading in such a remote place, and he can be said to show no trace at all. If it were not for the coincidence, this amount of food would have fallen into the hands of traitors. ”

Mei Ruoxue was very angry, gritted her teeth and gurgled, and she didn't know how many times she had scolded a few people in her heart, and several people had unconsciously borne what kind of "dog legs", "dog officials", "old pigs and dogs", "seeing money, only profit", "should be cut with thousands of knives, broken into thousands of pieces, chopped into meat sauce to feed dogs" and so on. However, although the grudge is vicious, it is also the truth.

After a while, Guo Xian'er came back with a pile of clothes under her arm. Mei Ruoxue said: "What are you doing with these clothes, is it cold?"

Guo Xian'er said: "This is what I peeled off from the officials who were restrained by us, and I may be able to use it later." ”

Lin Fengsheng saw that she was thoughtful and thoughtful, and he was very appreciative in his heart, and asked, "What, where is the food hidden?"

Guo Xian'er nodded and said, "I asked, Fu Daen said that they divided the food into several parts that day, and hid them in the big trees and the cracks in the cliffs. ”

Mei Ruoxue was puzzled when she heard this: "Hiding in the big tree?

Guo Xian'er said: "Yes, it was hidden in a tree hole. It is not surprising that there are many hollow trees in the century-old trees. ”

Lin Fengsheng said: "It is not uncommon for trees to be hollow, I think it is because there are many mountains and rocks here, and the water and nutrients absorbed by the roots of the trees are insufficient. Fu Daen and the others could think of hiding the food in the hollow of the tree, it seems that they were born in the mountains and are familiar with the habits of trees. ”

Mei Ruoxue said: "So what should we do now?"

Lin Fengsheng sighed slightly: "Senior sister and I changed into the clothes of the government officials, blended in with them, and pointed out the location of the salary. Go back and tell the men to set up an ambush on both sides of the road, and be careful not to attract the attention of these people. ”

Mei Ruoxue nodded in agreement, bent down and walked out a few feet, and then disappeared into the night.

Lin Fengsheng and Guo Xian'er immediately changed into the clothes of the officials, quietly touched a big tree, and observed carefully. There was a pile of rocks under the dragon-like roots, a corner of linen cloth peeking out of the cracks, and a fist-sized hole about seven or eight feet above the ground in the thick trunk of the tree, which at first glance was dug with a sharp weapon. Knowing that what Fu Daen said was true, he pulled out a sack, lowered his voice and said, "Come and see, everyone, there are clues here!"

When all the officials heard this, they all gathered around, and one of them took the sack and said, "It's a sack of grain!" Fu Da'en and they actually threw away the rice grain!" "I didn't find a grain of rice in the vicinity, could it have fallen under the cliff?" "The grain is just gone, and it would be a pity if the silver was also dropped off the cliff!"

Everyone was searching for food and salary, where did they think that someone would pretend to be their own people to sneak in, and the night in the woods was extremely heavy, Lin Fengsheng and Guo Xian'er always kept their heads down, so they were not suspicious of the two of them at all.

Wang Shijie, Wu Zhong and Li Baohua also rushed over when they heard the news, Li Baohua snatched the sack and looked at it, and said angrily: "Fu Daen, this kid, actually come with me! Prepare a long rope and go to the bottom of the cliff to see what is going on!"

Lin Fengsheng took a few steps back, hid his body in the dark, stretched out his hand and pointed at the big tree and said, "My lord, there is a hole in the big tree!"

Wu Zhong's figure flickered, and when he arrived under the big tree, he glanced at the empty hole casually and said, "Most of them were pecked out by woodpeckers, what's the fuss." This hole is so small, can a large amount of food be in it?"

Li Baohua looked at the sack in his hand again, and suddenly felt happy, and said loudly: "Come on, dig the hole a little bigger!"

In response, a government official stepped forward and slashed several times around the hole with a single knife, and large pieces of sawdust fell, and found that the sawdust was only four or five inches thick except for the bark, and said, "My lord, this big tree is hollow!" At this time, the hole can be penetrated by people's heads.

Li Baohua was overjoyed, took a torch and shone it on the tree hole, took a closer look, and blurted out: "Here we are!

Wang Shijie and Wu Zhong were overjoyed when they heard this, and they also approached the tree hole to check, only to see that the big tree was hollow, and the white flowers in it were full of rice, which was as much as dozens of stones. Wu Zhong shouted: "Go and see if the other big trees are hollow, and the food is not inside!"

The officials cheered, inspected several large trees nearby, and found a large amount of rice grain and official silver. Some of the trees were solid, and according to the number of them found, some of the food was not found.

There were more than ten government officials present at the time of the robbery, and naturally reported the approximate amount to Li Baohua, Li Baohua naturally knew this, but Wang Shijie and Wu Zhong did not know. When the two of them saw that the food and salary had been found, they were overjoyed, and smiled and said hello to Li Baohua, they all said that Master Li had made a fortune, and if you made such a great achievement, my master will definitely be rewarded.

Li Baohua was also full of joy, and ordered the officials to cut down the big trees, take out the grain and pack it. He smiled and said, "Two gentlemen, now that the food has been found, I wonder when you will leave?"

Wang Shijie scolded with a smile: "You Lord Li have been an official for many years, and you are very prosperous, is there still a shortage of silver in hand, why are you so anxious?"
