Miao Shou'an nodded, "The Cao Gang has a large number of people and has a lot of influence in the Huaishui area, if they really surrender to the Shenwei Army, I'm afraid it will really be very unfavorable to us!" ”

After listening to Miao Shou'an's words, Lu Dashi nodded, "I think the Shenwei Army also knows this, so they sent Ge Feiyu to recruit the people of the Cao Gang and Shuangniu Mountain." ”

Miao Shouan turned his head to look at Lu Dashi and said slowly, "We must not let their plan succeed. ”

When Lu Dashi heard this, he frowned, "What do you want to do?" ”

Miao Shou'an's eyes burned, "Lu Zhutou, I want to ask you to go to the Cao Gang to see if they have any thoughts of defecting to the Shenwei Army?" ”

After hearing Miao Shou'an's words, Lu Dashi was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Do you want me to go alone?" ”

Miao Shouan nodded, "At this time, it's not good to have too many people. ”

After hearing Miao Shou'an's words, Lu Dashi only felt a chill in his heart.

If he really went to the Cao Gang, in case Li Wenchang and Ge Feiyu also went, it would be bad.

Seeing that Lu Dashi didn't answer, Miao Shou'an suddenly sighed and said slowly, "Lu Zhutou, I won't hide it from you, no matter what the reason is this time, in short, Ge Feiying and Zhang Nanhao were rescued by them, which is very unfavorable to me and Master Zhang, so I can only ask you to help go to Cao Gang to see if you can catch Ge Feiying and Zhang Nanhao back again, so as to atone for their crimes." ”

Speaking of this, Miao Shou'an's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Lu Dashi to answer his words, and continued to speak on his own.

"Lu Zhutou, I know that this time is very dangerous, so I promise you, as long as you can get things done this time, Master Zhang and I will definitely not treat you badly.

Whatever you require, we'll do it for you! ”

Speaking of this, Miao Shou'an's tone paused, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Dashi before he continued, "Lu Zhutou, what do you think?" ”

After hearing Miao Shou'an's words, Lu Dashi wanted to say that this method was not very good, but he also knew that even if he said this, it would be useless.

Miao Shouan said this matter to himself in a consultative tone, this is to save face.

If he didn't tell himself about it, as long as he issued an order to Huaishui County, he would still have to go obediently.

Since you have to go left and right, it is better to go happily.

Thinking of this, Lu Dashi nodded, "It's all up to the adults!" ”

Seeing that Lu Dashi agreed, Miao Shou'an was immediately overjoyed, and said with a smile, "Lu Zhutou, I knew that you would definitely agree to ......." ”

Speaking of this, Miao Shou'an's tone paused before continuing, "Lu Zhutou, you say, if you want any help, I will send it to you directly." ”

When Lu Dashi heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment before he said slowly, "My lord, I want to stay in Nanjun City for two days and investigate this matter again, and after two days, I will set off immediately." ”

After hearing Lu Dashi's words, Miao Shou'an's eyes suddenly lit up, "Lu Zhutou, do you think those gangsters are still in Nanjun now?" ”

Lu Dashi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Although I have some doubts about this matter, I don't have any evidence, I want to stay for two days, just to see if there are any clues." ”

When Miao Shou'an heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then nodded slowly, "If those gangsters are really still in Nanjun City, then it would be better, it is best to catch them all, and by the way, catch Ge Feiying and Zhang Nanhao back." ”

……

Lu Dashi stayed in Miao Mansion again for a while, and then left.

Back at the inn, Lu Dashi came directly to the guest room, originally wanted to think about this matter before going to bed, but not long after lying down, sleepiness poured into his mind and he fell asleep deeply.

Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Dashi had a simple breakfast, then left the inn and walked in the direction of the West City Gate.

Lu Dashi and Li Zhutou had already made an appointment to meet at the West City Gate in the morning.

When Lu Dashi came to the West City Gate, Li Zhutou and Zhong Zhukuai were already waiting there.

After a night's rest, everyone's spirits were much better, and even there were a little more smiles on their faces.

Li Zhutou walked quickly to Lu Dashi, casually handed the reins of an empty horse to Lu Dashi, and asked with a smile, "Lu Zhutou, where are we going today?" ”

Lu Dashi took the reins of the horse and said with a smile, "Li Zhutou, according to the original plan, let's go to Zhangcun first." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Dashi's tone paused before continuing, "Li Zhutou, how did Captain Zhang and their search go yesterday?" ”

Hearing Lu Dashi's question, Li Zhutou shook his head with a wry smile, "Before coming this morning, I went to Captain Zhang's place and asked them about their situation last night. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhutou's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Lu Dashi to answer his words, so he continued to speak on his own.

Captain Zhang said that they divided into two routes yesterday, but they chased them far away, and they found no trace of those people, and it was already midnight when they came back.

But listen to him, today during the day, they will continue to follow these two roads. ”

After hearing Li Zhutou's words, Lu Dashi nodded, "Since this is the case, then it depends on whether we can find clues today." ”

After speaking, Lu Dashi immediately jumped on the horse's back and rode out of the West City Gate.

Seeing this, everyone didn't dare to slack off, and jumped on their horses one after another and chased after Lu Dashi's back.

It was still early in the morning, there were not many pedestrians on the road, everyone galloped all the way, and after more than half an hour, Lu Dashi restrained the war horse and stopped in front of a small road on the left.

Li Zhutou chased after him, pointed to the path next to the official road and said, "Lu Zhutou, this path leads to Zhang Village." ”

Lu Dashi nodded, "Let's go to Zhang Village first." ”

After speaking, he turned his horse's head and ran forward along the path.

The official road is not far from Zhangcun, and everyone has walked for about a stick of incense before they have seen Zhangcun's house.

Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, Li Zhutou immediately stepped forward, rushed to the front, and ran towards Zhang Village.

Before entering the village, I saw a middle-aged man walking out of the village.

Seeing this, Li Zhutou immediately shouted, "Fellow, please stop, I have something to ask you." ”

As soon as the middle-aged man walked out of the entrance of the village, he saw a large number of people dressed in fast hunting and serving on horseback, and was immediately startled, and was about to retreat, when he heard Li Zhutou's shouting, he could only stop and look at Li Zhutou who was riding a horse.

"Fellow, let me ask you, did a large group of people come to the village yesterday?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he shook his head, "No, no outsiders have come in the past two days." ”

When Li Zhutou heard this, he jumped off his horse, came to the middle-aged man, and asked sharply, "Do you know who we are?" ”

Hearing Li Zhutou's question, the middle-aged man hurriedly arched his hand and replied carefully, "Know ......, know ......, you are people from the yamen." ”

Li Zhutou nodded, "Didn't the horse team really come yesterday?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head with a wry smile, and stretched out his finger to point to a house at the entrance of the village, "That's the villain's home, if an outsider comes, I will definitely know." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhutou looked at the house that the middle-aged man was pointing to.

The house that the middle-aged man was referring to was on the side of the road at the entrance of the village, and it was true that as long as someone passed by the entrance of the village, he would definitely hear it.

Seeing this, Li Zhutou couldn't help frowning, and asked in a deep voice, "Didn't you go out yesterday?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, "It's been snowing too much these days, it's nothing, I've been staying at home?" ”

Hearing this, Li Zhutou looked at the middle-aged man and asked slowly, "Then what are you going to do now?" ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly replied, "The villain has laid down a few sets in the back mountain, and today, the weather is good, so I want to go and see it." ”

When Li Zhutou heard this, he shouted, "Then did you go up the mountain yesterday?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, "No! ”

Li Zhutou nodded and waved his hand at the middle-aged man, "Okay, you go get busy!" ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand, turned around and walked towards the back mountain.

Li Zhutou stood there looking at the back of the middle-aged man, and after a while, he said loudly to a few catchers behind him, "How many of you go to the other houses at the entrance of the village to inquire and see if he is lying?" ”

When several catchers heard this, they hurriedly walked towards several houses at the entrance of the village.

Li Zhutou slowly walked to Lu Dashi's side and sighed, "It seems that most of them didn't come here." ”

When Lu Dashi heard this, he didn't answer Li Zhutou's words, but just nodded and turned his head to look in the direction where the catchers walked over.

Not long after, several catchers hurried back.

"My lord, they all said that no outsiders came yesterday."

Hearing this, Li Zhutou turned his head and looked at Lu Dashi with an inquiring gaze.

Seeing Li Zhutou's gaze, Lu Dashi nodded silently, waved his hand at everyone, and said loudly.

"Let's go, let's go to Lijiazhuang and have a look."

With Lu Dashi's order, the crowd immediately turned their horses' heads and chased towards Lu Dashi's back.

Everyone rode up the official road, ran forward along the official road again, and after walking for a long time, they saw the path leading to Lijiazhuang.

Lu Dashi didn't stop, he turned the horse's head directly and ran towards Lijiazhuang.

Not long after everyone ran, Li Jiazhuang appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the last destination, Lu Dashi, you couldn't help but be a little nervous.

When everyone came to the entrance of the village, no one came out, so Li Zhutou waved his hand directly to the catcher behind him and said loudly.

"You go and ask if anyone has been here?"

When the crowd heard this, they hurriedly responded, and immediately jumped off their horses and were about to go to the village.

Seeing this, Lu Dashi hurriedly shouted to stop, turned his head to look at Li Zhutou, and sighed, "Li Zhutou, let's go together!" ”

Lu Dashi was really nervous, if they couldn't find clues in Lijiazhuang, then they would have nowhere to check.

Since Li Wenchang and their clues can't be found here, what Lu Dashi has to face is to rush to the Cao Gang two days later.

went to Shuangniu Mountain, Lu Dashi met the kind-hearted An Hongbai father and daughter, and was able to come back alive.

It can be said that without An Hongbai's protection, Lu Dashi and Du Qingyu would never have come back.

Going to the Cao Gang, I'm afraid it will be more dangerous than going to Shuangniu Mountain.

Once he met Li Wenchang and Ge Feiyu in the Cao Gang, Lu Dashi was sure that neither Li Wenchang nor Ge Feiyu would give him time to speak.

Now, Lu Dashi's greatest hope is to find them in the Cao Gang and capture Ge Feiying and Zhang Nanhao back.

Seeing Lu Dashi's nervous expression, Li Zhutou didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly jumped off his horse and walked towards the entrance of the village with Lu Dashi.

The two came to the nearest door, Li Zhutou knocked on the door, and shouted, "Is anyone at home, hurry up and open the door......?" ”

As Li Zhutou's shouting sounded, it didn't take long for the sound of footsteps to be heard in the courtyard.

"Who? What ...... shouting in broad daylight! ”

The voice stopped abruptly as soon as the door opened.

An old man with gray hair looked at Li Zhutou and Lu Dashi outside the door in surprise, and after a while, he reacted and asked in a trembling voice.

"Two poor masters, is there anything wrong with looking for the old man?"

Li Zhutou was not verbose, and asked directly and loudly, "Old man, let me ask you, did a horse team come to Zhuangzi yesterday?" ”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly shook his head, "No, there is no horse team here!" ”

Hearing the old man's answer, Li Zhutou suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, and asked loudly, "Is there a horse team here?" ”

The old man was taken aback by Li Zhutou's words, and involuntarily took a step back, hurriedly waving his hand, "Poor master, there is really no horse team here, those people who ride horses are all people from our Zhuangzi, and there is no outsider!" ”

Hearing the old man's answer, Li Zhutou was suddenly stunned, stayed for a long time, and suddenly asked loudly, "Old man, what kind of horseback rider, what kind of outsider, you tell me clearly." ”

When the old man heard this, he nodded hurriedly, "In the first few days, two people came and wanted to borrow the door of our village for use, and promised a lot of thanks.

Seeing that they had paid a lot of money, several people in the Zhuangzi agreed to this and promised to lend them their horses. ”

Speaking of this, the old man's tone paused, shook his head, and then continued, "The villain only knows so much, you can ask those who borrowed the horse about other things, they should know better than the villain!" ”

Hearing the old man's answer, Li Zhutou turned his head to look at Lu Dashi.
