Zhang Jianping stood on the edge of the map and stammered to Wei Gongzi: "Childe, I really haven't seen this picture, I can't understand it." ”

A group of people laughed, everyone actually couldn't understand it, because they couldn't read, and people in this era, even if they had geographical understanding, they all had the map in their heads.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, the map is such a high-end goods, it is not surprising that people at this time do not recognize it, and asked Lin Wenbiao: "Wen Biao, do you know this map?" ”

"I can tell you a rough idea." Lin Wenbiao walked to the front of the picture and pointed, "Are we here now?" This is Shanhaiguan, here is the old forest, and then this is not Haiyang? Is this a deep river? In the past, it should be Fu Ningwei, right? ”

Wei Bao was very happy to see that Lin Wenbiao could actually read maps, and secretly thought that if he studied geography, at least he could read maps at a very high level, these people can understand without knowing big characters, it is indeed not simple, it can also be seen from this point that the locks live by the road, and the people who walk on the feet also live by the road, but Lin Wenbiao is already a middle-to-upper-level person in their industry.

"What you said is right, we are indeed here, this is Shanhaiguan, here is Haiyang Town, here is Shenhe, the past fifty miles of Shenhe is Funingwei, after Funingwei, you have to walk seventy or eighty miles to Lulong Town, that is, the location of Yongping Mansion, after Lulong, Yongping Mansion is calculated, and then it is the boundary of Shuntianfu, it will be safe there, right?" Wei Bao pointed out the route very carefully, explaining it from place to place, so that Zhang Jianping and these foot masters could understand it, "I didn't expect you to be able to understand them all." ”

"I can understand that this painting is a river, this painting is a painting of Heshanhaiguan, recognize these two places, and guess other places according to their locations." Lin Wenbiao said.

Zhang Jianping could also understand it now, pointed to the map and said: "Gongzi is right, when he reaches the boundary of Shuntian Mansion, it will be too peaceful, no matter how bold the Silkworm Gang is, I have never heard of anyone who dares to run to Shuntian Mansion to make trouble, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven." No matter how powerful the Silks Gang is, it is because there are people in Liaoxi who are sheltered, and it really provokes the garrison of the Jingshi Territory to get angry, and there are two or three thousand people, and no matter how powerful the Silks are, they will be exterminated. Although we can't understand the picture, but Childe can understand it as soon as he says this. ”

Wei Bao nodded and said, "Okay, Master Zhang will talk about the route and itinerary of this trip." ”

"I'm going to leave today, I can go whenever I want, it's better to go now! According to noon, it is safe to go from Jinshanli to Haiyang Town, which is close to Shanhaiguan, where the army of the imperial court is stationed, and the silk man does not dare to run this piece easily. If we set off at noon, we will be able to reach Haiyang Town in time, and the area from Haiyang Town to Funingwei is the most dangerous, because Lao Linzi is here, and it is not clear where the cottage in Zhentianbei is, but they usually operate in this area. Therefore, we have to wait until it gets dark and pass through here quickly, and whether we can avoid being discovered by the people of the Earthquake North depends on our luck. But I haven't heard of anything that hasn't been discovered. ”

Wei Bao looked at Lin Wenbiao.

Lin Wenbiao understood what Wei Bao meant, and he took the initiative to point out the location of the cottage in Zhentianbei on the map: "The cottage is here, from Haiyang Town to Funingwei, there are three roads in total, one big road is an official road, one small road, and one mountain road. The mountain road can go directly to the cottage in the north of the earthquake, so except for the occasional hunter hunting around the cottage in the north of the earth, no one dares to go here. And Zhentianbei will send people to keep an eye on the roads and paths that pass through Funingwei every day, with a group of three people, taking turns to change twice a day, no matter day or night, there are people guarding! So no matter when, no matter how lucky you are, you will definitely be discovered. ”

Wei Bao hurriedly marked the various locations that Lin Wenbiao pointed out, including the location of the cottage in the north of the earth, as well as the location of several sentry posts, on the map, as well as the mountain road.

Zhang Jianping looked at Lin Wenbiao curiously: "Brother knows very well?" Are you from a dart background, or are you from an Orion background? ”

Lin Wenbiao glanced at Wei Bao, and didn't know if he should tell the truth?

Wei Bao took the lead and Lin Wenbiao replied: "He is from Orion, so he knows it." ”

"No wonder you know so clearly, dare to go to the edge of the territory of the Earthquake North to hunt, it can be regarded as a kind. I know that the location of the cottage in the north of the earthquake is excellent, it is a big mountain when you go in, and there are cliffs and dangerous peaks in front of it, although there are only a few dozen people, but hundreds of officers and soldiers are helpless against them, it is really not good, they can also retreat into the mountain. Zhang Jianping said: "So, if you want to make a dreadlock, don't think about it, no matter how many people do, we don't dare to think about it." The only thing we hope for is to mix up, don't let them know that we are transporting goods for Wei Gongzi, saying that it is a cargo from Shanhaiguan to Lulong, just say the goods of a business name and see if we can mix up. ”

Lin Wenbiao interrupted Zhang Jianping's words: "There is absolutely no such possibility, you are walking on your feet, don't you know that the people from the north of the earthquake have to come forward to check every time?" Look at the same thing, never look away. They know better than anyone what goods belong to which company and where they want to be trafficked, and they can't fool them. You can say the same, don't even move the idea of beating the locks, as long as the Locks Gang doesn't have infighting, they are not afraid of how many people come outside. Especially in the old forest, thousands of troops are not afraid of coming. ”

Zhang Jianping frowned, nodded to Wei Bao and said: "Childe, this brother is right, then I have no choice, I said before, offended the eldest son of the Wu family, and wanted to transport the goods to the Guannei, it is impossible, just the old Lin Zi Zhentianbei's handmaiden gang, it is difficult to fly over." ”

As soon as Wei Bao heard the two of them say this, the situation was already very clear, and he fell into a dead end again, thought for a moment, pointed to the map and asked Zhang Jianping: "If you are stopped by the Earthquake North, will they do anything to you?" ”

"That's not afraid, bandits have the rules of bandits, and they know that we are walking on our feet and specialize in transporting goods, so they generally won't embarrass us." Zhang Jianping replied.

Lin Wenbiao slandered in his heart - but now that you are transporting goods to Wei Gongzi, it is not clear. But Lin Wenbiao didn't say it.

Wei Bao nodded and said, "You must not be allowed to be in any danger, and you must not give up your life for the sake of delivery." The bandits won't embarrass you. ”

After Wei Bao finished speaking, he went on to say to Lin Wenbiao: "What do bandits rely on to transmit information? From these two sentry posts to the cottage in the north of the earth, there are more than ten miles of road, so you can't rely on horses, right? It's impossible for a horse to stay in the snow for a long time, right? ”

"By carrier pigeons." Lin Wenbiao explained: "The sentry man does not bring the horse out, and it is unbearable to let the war horse stand in the snow for a few hours." The cottage has a kind of hardy pigeons, which are very precious, and there are more than 20 in total, and they rely on these pigeons to deliver the news. The brothers who stood guard simmered the carrier pigeon in their arms, not daring to let it freeze. At this point, the carrier pigeon transmits the news, and a stick of incense will not be used for an hour. In general, carrier pigeons are not used. Generally, the caravans will consciously hand over money to the Shawls Gang, and these things are known to the foot walkers. ”

Zhang Jianping nodded and said: "Yes, it's not an important product, five coins of silver are about the same, and if you want to be a little more important, you will give one or two lines of silver to five taels of silver." If the goods from Yongping Mansion are out, then there is only the caravan of the Wu family, they have both a caravan and a dart shop, and they are also in the same group as Zhentianbei, so they don't have to pay money. ”

Wei Bao nodded and continued: "Since you can't get through, then you can only break through." That's what I thought, let's rush to Haiyang Town to assemble first. I am going to divide your 50 porters into 5 groups, each group of 10 people, still according to what Master Zhang said, starting from noon, the two groups go all the way from the main road and all the way from the small road! Walk at the same time. So is Zhentianbei going to send two strands out to intercept it? ”

"Usually the locks are put together, when they go out to do errands, they are generally taken by Brother Tan, and now Brother Tan has left the cottage, it may be that the second master Chang Wuye has come out all the way, or Chang Wuye's junior brother Hou San temporarily takes the position of Brother Tan, he takes all the people out to intercept, and the people who are generally brought out are 20 war horses." Lin Wenbiao knew that Wei Gongzi wanted to ask about the operation of the cottage, so he said it directly, "The head of the Earthquake Peking University usually does not leave the cottage, and he will take the remaining more than 20 people to guard the house." Even if the two ways of the son are darts at the same time, the cottage can send two groups of people at the same time, and it will not be able to pass either. ”

Wei Bao understood the internal management of the bandits, and continued: "I am so grouped, and I don't plan to go over, I am deliberately playing with the locks." I have an idea, Wen Biao, you listen to me first, and then you can see if it's okay. ”

"Childe, please speak." Lin Wenbiao hurriedly said.

"At noon, I divided into two groups of porters, each carrying an empty basket, and passed by the road and small road from Haiyang Town to Funingwei separately, and found that it was empty-handed footwalking, and they must be suspicious, if they asked, you will say that I hired you and asked you to do this, as for why, you will say that you don't know, just take money to do things." Wei Bao Road.

"It's fine. If we are empty-handed, we will definitely not embarrass us, but if this is the case, will they still report it? Maybe the investigators will send us back, right? Zhang Jianping said.

"It's certain that they will send you back directly, but they will definitely report to the cottage first, wait for Zhentianbei to deal with it, and dare not decide on their own." Wei Bao said, looking at Lin Wenbiao.

Lin Wenbiao said, "If you let the footman go empty-handed, the investigator will find it strange, and he will definitely wait for the reply of the cottage first, maybe Zhentianbei will let people come out to investigate, I heard that if Wei Gongzi is looking for a porter to do this, it is more likely to send someone over." It's just, what is Childe doing this for? Just to play the Bunkers? ”

"To toss them. I am going to send out two groups of porters in the middle of the night, still carrying out goods from the main road and the small road at the same time, still empty-handed, what will happen to the dreadlocks this time? They had just run for nothing at noon, and they must have had to discuss on the road for a while, and in the middle of the afternoon, they would definitely go back if they couldn't wait for our goods. Then in the second half of the night, I heard that we started to ship, at this time, do you come, or don't come? Wei Bao asked.

Lin Wenbiao seemed to understand Wei Bao's intentions a little, "If the people who intercepted Gongzi at noon the day before, and at night, it is the same situation, they will still come over, and they have been made so twice in a row, knowing that Gongzi will definitely pass from here today, they will not be negligent." ”

Wei Bao smiled: "Then I waited until dawn the next day, I personally led people to charge the goods and the last group of porters, divided into two groups, we took the goods and walked the road, the porters are still empty-handed, take the small road, at this time, how many people will come to the locks?" ”

Hearing Wei Bao say this, Lin Wenbiao completely understood, secretly thinking that Wei Gongzi tossed for a long time, just to tire the copycat people?

"It's still a whole road, 20 horses! It's just that the first day has been tossed twice, and he can't rest for more than ten hours, and he will be tired, even so, if the son doesn't have forty or fifty iron cavalry to suppress the formation, if he wants to fight with the 20 war horses of the Silk Gang, it will not work. Lin Wenbiao replied.

"Who's going to argue with him? I tired them, so I just led people to rush over, didn't you say that there were only three people at the sentry? Three people, I am still sure, when the time comes, each person will have two good horses, and the carriage will also take two horses to rest in turn, I have good horses in my hands, as long as I break through, the silk will definitely not be able to catch up! Wei Bao replied.

Lin Wenbiao suddenly realized, it turned out that Wei Gongzi was going to toss the locks first and get tired, and then rush over? "This is feasible, but if we rush over, we will have to rest when we go to Funingwei, right? There are still seventy or eighty miles from Funingwei to Lulong Town, if we rush through Funingwei, Zhentianbei will definitely come to chase after us in person! If we change horses and bring two truckloads of goods, it's too late, right? ”

Wei Bao looked at the map and frowned, yes, there is such a long official road from Funingwei to Lulong Town, and there are still seventy or eighty miles, the bandits will definitely be able to catch up, these damn locks! Wei Bao originally wanted an idea, and he didn't plan to kill people head-on! On the one hand, it is dangerous, on the other hand, he doesn't want to get too stiff with the dreadlocks, kill too many people, and really become a mortal enemy.

"Then let's rest first when we get to Funingwei! No matter how bold the handmaidens are, they don't dare to run to Funingwei, right? Wei Bao asked.

Lin Wenbiao said: "That's not daring, two or three people can come in disguise to explore the way, and a large number of people don't dare to rashly enter such an important town as Funingwei, if it is exposed, the government will inevitably send someone to arrest it." ”

"Well, that's easy to do, as long as we get to Funingwei, it means that we are safe for the time being, and I will go down with him to the north of the earth, I don't believe that he has been waiting for me outside Funingwei, and it is safe to make sure that it is safe, let's go to Lulong Town again, at this time, the initiative is already in our hands." Wei Bao smiled indifferently.

Lin Wenbiao and a group of foot workers looked at each other, everyone seemed to understand a little, and they all seemed to be still confused, anyway, including Wei Bao's own group of subordinates, everyone was in a state of ignorance now, and everyone was quiet again.

"I think it's possible, so let's do it!" Wei Bao saw that no one had any more opinions, so he made a decision. For fear of delaying any longer, these foot walkers were already scared to death, and they would not dare to go even more when they dragged and dragged them.

"Wei Gongzi, if you go such a little way, and you take empty goods, what salary?" Zhang Jianping asked after discussing with several foot masters for a while.

Wei Bao said very simply: "Shoot it!" Still everyone has a silver or two, and they have a share! You can go to Hai Duong Town now, and start shipping as I said! I'll take someone to Hai Duong Town to meet you later. ”

Zhang Jianping, Wu Laosan, Wang Sidao and Wang Zhankui and other leaders of the foot line saw that Wei Bao's mind had been decided, and the price did not change, so they had to give up.

"Childe, are you really going to do this? Just a few of us? Going to Riverhouse? After the footwalkers left the hall, Lin Wenbiao asked Wei Bao uneasily: "Don't underestimate the three guards standing guard, the three of them, I will be one against one at most, and it will not be a problem for the remaining two people to beat you and the ten or so guards." ”

Hearing Lin Wenbiao say this, Liu Jintang, Zhang Haobo, Li Nan, Peng Mingbo and Gao Du were all angry, and Zhang Haobo said in an urn: "The locks are powerful, and two people can't beat a dozen of us, right?" Besides, our son-in-law can clean up two locks alone, which is more than enough. ”

Lin Wenbiao thought of Wei Bao's 'secret weapon mastery', nodded, and arched his hand: "It's not that I look down on you brothers, since Brother Tan and I, Bai Yougen and the three of us have taken refuge in Gongzi, we will be dead hearts to be Gongzi's people in the future, if you don't say it, you still watch Gongzi jump, that's even more wrong, do you say this is the reason?" ”

Several people heard Lin Wenbiao say this, and their psychology calmed down a lot.

Liu Chunshi and Fan hurriedly played a round.

"It's all right, it's all for the son, and it's right to be thoughtful." Fan said with a big smile.

"Well, I think it's all right, Lin Wenbiao said that don't underestimate the three sentry handkerchiefs is right, and the brothers think that we are not much worse than the handkerchiefs, and they are still careful, but everything still has to be decided by the son." Liu Chunshi added.

Wei Bao said indifferently: "Since you have thought about it, it is the safest and the only way to do it at present, so let's do it!" Three locks, let's not underestimate it. ”

"Yes, Childe." The group waited for Wei Bao to make a decision, and bowed down together to agree.

"Childe, even if we get to Hejian Mansion, what should we do when we come back? Pretending to be a desert escape? Lin Wenbiao still asked uneasily.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, "Let's go to Hejian Mansion and talk about it, when we come back, we will sell the sycophants and carriages we brought on the spot, and we will not transport the goods back." Can you go or are you afraid you won't be able to come back? One person and one good horse, all the way from Funingwei to Haiyang Town, does the silk dare to run to Haiyang Town to kill people? ”

"That's not going to happen, since the son has thought it through, I'm relieved." Lin Wenbiao squeezed out a little smile, but he was very stiff, completely smiling, he knew the strength of the silk cloth very well, and felt that Wei Bao's current plan could only be called on paper, and it was really hard to say what effect it could have. Whether it is in Lin Wenbiao's heart, or in the hearts of Madman Tan and Bai Yougen, their former eldest brother Zhentianbei, it is an invincible existence! Wei Gongzi is still too tender compared to Zhentianbei.

"I'm just worried that We'll be mad by us when the time comes, will I go directly to Jinshan to find trouble with our armor?" Wei Bao Road.

"Then don't worry, just let the people in the armor not go out casually during this time. I saw that there was a fence around Jia, and it was not easy for the horses of the silk to rush in, and I was afraid of being ambushed by the officers and soldiers, so I didn't dare to come. Lin Wenbiao replied.

Wei Bao was relieved when he heard Lin Wenbiao say this, "This is easy to do!" I don't worry about myself, the only thing I worry about is my family and the people who follow me. If you don't come to Jinshan, it's fine! Didn't the locks of the Earthquake North have Wu Sanfeng as a backer? Why do they still worry about being ambushed by officers and soldiers? ”

"Wu Sanfeng is a backer, and that is also secretly, and it can't be on the stage." Lin Wenbiao replied: "Moreover, if something happens, Wu Sanfeng will at most protect a big brother like Zhentianbei, and the brothers below Zhentianbei, he will not pay attention to it, and if he is caught, he still has to use the silver to ransom people, otherwise Bai Yougen and I will take Brother Tan to see the injury, and we will not be hunted down by a group of officers and soldiers." ”

Wei Bao nodded, now that this relationship is completely sorted out, indeed, even if the Wu family can not only form a gate valve relationship with a group of thousands of households on the ground in western Liaoning, wear a pair of pants, but this is all a matter under the table, and what should be done on the table.

Wei Bao felt both nervous and excited, this was the first time he took people out of the Golden Mountain to fight, and he was facing the most ferocious Silkworm Gang in this era!

After the foot walkers took the lead in leaving Wei Bao's armor, Wei Bao took the time to go to a warship, two revolvers, and two spare wheels, which can already ensure that 24 bullets are fired in a row, and then bring white bullets, it is good to be able to outwit, but not to outwit, Wei Bao is also ready to do his best, in this era, the weak eat the strong, not to mention the bandits, don't pay too much attention to it, if it is for the people in the officialdom, you have to think about whether there is room for it.

Wei Bao was going to Haiyang Town to spend the night, so let everyone have dinner early, so that they could go to Haiyang Town to rest for a night, and then rush to Funingwei the next morning.

Although Luo Sanzi, Wei's father, Fan Lao Pimple, Wang Zhihui and others did not attend this meeting, but a group of foot-walking people came and went, and they still knew what was going on.

In the lobby of Wei's father and Wei's mother's house, a table of wine was placed, Luo Sanzi, Wei's father, Fan Laopmp, Wang Zhihui, Wei Bao, Liu Chunshi, Fan Datou, Lin Wenbiao, Liu Jintang, Zhang Haobo, Li Nan, Peng Mingbo, Gao Du, all came.

Originally, Liu Chunshi, Fan Datou, Lin Wenbiao, Zhang Haobo, Li Nan, Peng Mingbo, Gao Du and others were not qualified to sit in the table because they were supernumerary personnel and had not yet entered the official establishment, so they were forced to sit by Wei Bao.

Wei Mu, Xu Rui, Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya and other women stood on the side and talked, the queen mother and Fan Mu were originally busy cooking for the people who worked in Jiazhong, but after explaining how many women in Jia cooked today, they also rushed over, although it was inconvenient to discuss it openly, but everyone knew that this trip was very risky.

"Xiaobao, you still don't want to go to this matter in person, right?" Wei Dakang said to Wei Bao.

This is the words in everyone's hearts, and Wei Dakang took the lead in proposing it, and others persuaded each other together.

Wei Bao smiled and picked up a glass of wine, stood up and said: "Needless to say, if you say it again, there is no way to eat this meal, you should persuade me to win!" ”

Wei Dakang counted with his hands: "With you, there are only nine people in total, such a few people, where is the opponent of Lao Linzi's gang of handmaidens?" ”

Wei Mu stood beside Wei Bao and said, "Yes, Xiaobao, don't go by yourself, just let the people below Zhang Luo, right?" Now that Chunshi and the big head are gone, aren't you worried about them doing things? ”

"Yes, Xiaobao, my brother is okay, my brother goes, what's the difference between you and yourself?" Fan Xiaolin also said.

"Why don't you go by yourself next time? Didn't you say that there will be such opportunities in the future? Wang Qiuya persuaded softly.

As soon as this head opened, the queen mother and Fan Mu and other women began to persuade each other again, although Xu Rui didn't say anything because she was new to the city and abided by the rules, her affectionate eyes also said everything.

"Dad, mother, aren't there still 50 foot buddies? Doesn't that add up to more than sixty people? When the Silkworm Gang saw that there were many of us, they didn't dare to do anything, and besides, we all took the official road, in broad daylight, what did they dare to do? Wei Bao smiled: "Everyone's concern, I have a number in my heart, come, don't talk about this, although this trip will not take a few days to go back and forth, but it is the first time I have gone out, I am here to toast everyone with a glass of wine, mother, Aunt Wang, Aunt Fan, you also have a drink, right?" Rui'er, Qiuya, Xiaolin, you can also have a drink. ”

The more relaxed everyone listened to what Wei Bao said, the more they felt a bit like farewell wine, and they were very sad.

Wei Bao seemed very angry, and kept beckoning everyone to drink and eat, after all, a group of men were more hearted than women, and after a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere soon became warm.

Fan's head was still yelling, so he simply kept drinking until mid-afternoon, and ate dinner together, which provoked Wei Bao's applause.

Fan was so unhappy when he saw that Wei Bao supported his idea, and the elated Zhang Luo everyone ate and drank, but it heated up the atmosphere.

The Queen Mother and Mother Fan felt that the more times like this, the more opportunities, although women could not serve on such occasions, the two of them still persuaded their daughters to go and toast Wei Bao with a few more glasses of wine and talk to Wei Bao more.

Fan Xiaolin didn't need to persuade at all, she stood beside Wei Bao generously, had a drink with Fan's head for a while, and then found an opportunity to have a drink with Wei Bao, and kept talking.

"Go, what are you ashamed of? are already Xiaobao's maids, and they can't wipe their face? Seeing that Wang Qiuya had been embarrassed to go over and toast Wei Bao, the Queen Mother kept encouraging her.

Wang Qiuya's face turned crimson and said, "Mother, there are so many people, what kind of wine do I still persuade Xiaobao?" I'll get him drunk. ”

"It's better to be drunk, if you're drunk, Xiaobao won't leave today." Wang Qiuya's mother said, "Do you think that Xiaolin will come to trouble?" You, stupid, hurry up and say a few more thoughtful words. When a man wants to go out, he thinks about women the most. ”

Wang Qiuya listened to her mother's 'enlightenment', and finally stood beside Wei Bao with a wine glass and a shy answer.

"Childe." Wang Qiuya said softly.

Although Wei Bao has been talking and chatting with everyone, his mind has never left Wang Qiuya, Xu Rui and Fan Xiaolin, Xu Rui and Huang Ying stood together and did not come over, Fan Xiaolin has always been by his side, so Wei Bao has seen Wang Qiuya the most, and when he saw Wang Qiuya calling himself, he immediately turned around and said: "Qiuya, why are you still called Childe?" You can call Xiaobao, didn't I say that? ”

"Xiaobao, I toast you with a glass of wine, and I wish you a smooth and smooth trip." Wang Qiuya's face was blushing, her head was slightly lowered, and she was full of shyness.

Wei Bao felt excited when he looked at Wang Qiuya's appearance of wanting to refuse and welcome, and thought of the scene when he was alone with Wang Qiuya, when he ate Wang Qiuya's tofu, he was particularly moved, "Borrow your auspicious words, cheers." "Anyway, drink it all.

Wang Qiuya snorted and drank it all.

"Okay, another drink." Fan Xiaolin saw that Wang Qiuya actually drank a glass of wine at once, and said, "I didn't expect Qiuya to be so able to drink, and I will have to toast with Xiaobao later." ”

"Don't drink too much, wait until you get up." Wei Bao smiled, "Drinking is the atmosphere, the atmosphere is there, and the mind is there." ”
