"Green Dance, are you happy?" In the carriage, Lin Jue held Lu Wu's cold little hand and asked in a low voice.

Lu Wu was looking at the backward street scene outside, and when she heard this, she smiled at Lin Jue and said, "Happy, as long as you can follow your son, Green Dance will be very happy." Thank you Childe for letting Midori Dance follow. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Hey, I'm happy now, after leaving the city, you will know what a long and arduous journey this is." The weather is cold, and there may be bad weather with wind and snow. I'm afraid you'll be overwhelmed. ”

Lu Wupu fanned her eyes and said, "I'm not afraid. What is the combination of wind and snow? The weather is not terrible. Are there a few hurricanes in Hangzhou every summer? Isn't the green dance afraid of lightning and thunder and the tsunami of the mountains and tsunami? ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Not only the weather, but you may also encounter many terrifying scenes that you have never seen before. ”

"Terrible scene? What is that? A big insect and beast that eats people? Or is it some kind of demon or something? Green Dance was a little worried by what Lin Jue said. Although she had never seen these things, listening to the old mothers in the house tell stories about ghosts and beasts almost scared her to death. My mind is also full of weird imaginations.

"Demons and monsters are not scary, I'm talking about things that are even scarier than that. Well, I'll not say it, so as not to scare you. In short, I tell you, no matter what terrible things you see, don't be afraid, because with me by your side, you just have to trust me to protect you. Lin Jue reached over and patted her little hand.

Green Dance nodded and said, "I'm not afraid, as long as I'm with my son, I'm not afraid of anything." They all say that Childe is a big hero, and Childe can solve anything. ”

Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Who said I was a big hero?" ”

Green Dance said: "Those people in the house, they all say so in private. said that Childe is the most powerful and capable hero of our Lin family. said that my Lin family's ancestors accumulated virtue and wanted to be a big man. ”

Lin Jue laughed and shook his head. Lu Wu looked at Lin Jue's handsome silhouette, and said in her heart: Don't you know, the maids in other rooms in the family are envious of me, and I am the only one who can serve my son, which is really my luck.

The master and servant drove all the way north, and traveled along the land route to Xiaoxing for the night. Originally, the most convenient way to go north from Hangzhou was to take the canal waterway, which was the fastest, safest and most comfortable path. However, it was already early November, and the waterways south of the Jianghuai River were still passable, but the waterways north of the Jianghuai River, especially along the Yellow River, had frozen and were already impassable for boats. Therefore, in the harsh winter, the only way to go to the capital is by land.

However, the overland roads are mostly bumpy, and there is no way to cut through the rocks in these days, so it is often necessary to take a detour to a small hill. Therefore, the overland route is long and difficult. Since the opening of the canal, no one wants to go north by land unless they have to. The hardships of the three masters and servants along the way can be imagined.

The first few days of leaving Hangzhou were quite smooth, after all, the land south of the Yangtze River is prosperous and rich, with few mountains and many plains, and the roads are quite smooth and feasible. Although the weather is cold, Jiangnan is Jiangnan after all, and no matter how cold it is, it can't go there. When the sun comes out, if there is no strong wind, people still do not feel too cold. However, the further north you go, the more difficult the road becomes and the colder the weather becomes. After crossing the Yangtze River and arriving at the Jianghuai Mountains, the people were sleepy and tired, and the carriage was as cold as an ice cellar. Lin Hu, who was riding on the wheel to catch the car, began to ignore Lin Jue's warning, and did not put on sheepskin gloves and a fur hat to protect him. As a result, within a day, his hands were frozen like a steamed bun out of the oven, and his face was swept by the wind and cold as if he was ripe. The angry Lin Jue scolded. Starting the next day, without waiting for Lin Jue's orders, Lin Hu wrapped himself like a zongzi.

In the first few days, the green dance was still a little leisurely and elegant, and when it stopped, it also came out to bounce and see some scenery. But soon, she lost that interest. The strong jolting and cold made her very uncomfortable, but even so, she gritted her teeth and did not complain. When he stopped for the night every day, he still silently arranged food and accommodation for Lin Jue, and Lin Jue was distressed when he saw it.

Nine days later, the arduous journey finally came to an end for the time being. Starting from Hangzhou City, crossing the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, passing through Huainan West Road into Jingbei Road, and finally arriving at a small town called Qingtai in the north of Tangzhou at the southwest end of Gyeonggi Road.

Along the way, Lin Jue took out the road map drawn by Shen Tan from his arms countless times, and here in Qingtai Town, Shen Tan drew a big circle with a black brush, which is where Lin Jue is going to carry out this dangerous mission.

Here I must talk about the plan that Lin Jue and Shen Tan whispered on the Spring Breeze Tower that day. In view of the fact that weapons and equipment could not be obtained from legal channels, and because the black market transactions could not meet Lin Jue's needs and were extremely risky, Lin Jue finally chose the idea of fighting the old equipment that had been replaced in the palace. Of course, it is impossible to buy it with money, even if Shen Tan is willing to take risks, it will not be long before the stuffing will be revealed. So Lin Jue came up with a plan to transfer flowers and trees.

The solution was that Shen Tan escorted this batch of weapons and equipment to the capital, because he could only go north by land in this season, so he asked Shen Tan to choose a land route closest to Funiu Mountain. In this way, Lin Jue could perform a good show of mountain bandits robbing goods on the way, with the cooperation of Shen Tan, and the location was chosen in Qingtai Town. Things are robbed, in order to avoid making things bigger, Shen Tan will promise to compensate according to the price, and the people in the Ordnance Department must not want things to make a big deal. Lin Jue called it forced trading. It's like a gang of robbers robbing the road, but they don't kill people or steal things, but they want to forcibly buy the goods that are being escorted, and the price is very fair. In this case, the people who were robbed obviously would not scold their mothers for reporting to the officials to make trouble, they would only feel fortunate and choose to keep quiet.

Of course, this plan is extremely risky. First of all, it is how to play this scene realistically, it must be intense, but it must not kill people, and it must not arouse the suspicion of the attaché of the Weapons Division who was escorted with Shen Tan. This is a robbery, naturally it is necessary to do it with real knives and guns, and if it is too fake, it will reveal flaws. But because the escort is Shen Tan and their men, they can't hurt their lives, and no one can die on this side of the cottage. Therefore, this play, even if the actors of the Jiangnan Grand Theater are invited to perform it, it may not be seamless. The most important thing is to hide from the eyes of the attachés of the Weapons Division, if they realize that this is a scene, then the rest of the matter will definitely be out of control.

Secondly, can this scene open normally and sing gold? There is a reason why Qingtai Town was chosen, it is eighty miles away from the nearest place of Funiu Mountain, and it is outside the area controlled by the mountain bandits. This was done to make Shen Tan's escort route reasonable. If you really pass by the official road next to Funiu Mountain and enter the control of the Funiu Mountain bandits, then this scene seems too deliberate. Afterwards, someone will definitely smack the door and question the route chosen by Shen Tan, and it is easy to think that Shen Tan is deliberately delivering goods to the door.

And this place is nearly 120 miles away from Luoyan Valley, because Luoyan Valley is on the east side of Funiu Mountain, and the location of Qingtai Town is in the southeast of Funiu Mountain. This brought several questions, whether the news could be delivered to Gao Muqing in Luoyan Valley in time. Even if the news is delivered, will the people of Funiu Mountain be able to arrive here in time to carry out the robbery plan. Finally, can you evacuate smoothly after the robbery is successful? You must know that between Qingtai Town and Funiu Mountain, Fangcheng County, which belongs to Tangzhou, Nanyang County, which belongs to Dengzhou, and Ruzhou to the northeast, are all garrisoned by imperial court soldiers and horses. These soldiers and horses are stationed around Funiu Mountain in order to guard against the attack of bandits in Funiu Mountain, how to cross the defense area of these garrisons unconsciously, and how to quickly withdraw to the mountains after succeeding, this will be a difficult problem. If it succeeds and attracts several officers and soldiers to surround it, it will be a disaster.

It is precisely because there are so many risks that Lin Jue has always believed that this plan is actually very dangerous. If it doesn't work, it will be a fierce battle, and it may even lead to a disaster, which will harm Gao Muqing in order to help Gao Muqing.

The three masters and servants found an inn to live in a remote street north of Qingtai Town. Before entering the town, Lin Jue was completely prepared. He took out a few masks and made a disguise with the green dance Lin Hu and changed his appearance. Lin Jue turned into a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion, Green Dance became a stupid girl with rough skin, and Lin Hu was a black-skinned little root class. At first glance, it was a merchant from the south who took the maid and the maid to the capital to do business, and passed by here to rest temporarily.

This is naturally to ensure that nothing goes wrong, after the plan begins, it is necessary to ensure that there will be absolutely no sequelae, and if there is a robbery here in the near future, it will definitely alarm the people in the town, Lin Jue definitely doesn't want anyone in this town to remember the appearance of the three of them. Even if they were to remember it, it would never be the real thing. Of course, these masks and disguised means are exactly the masks and disguised things that Lin Jue got from Shen Tan in the past few days.

Even so, the three of them encountered some strange eyes when they entered the town, because it was rare for someone to pass by in such a remote town during this season. Maybe it's because of a natural vigilance that has lived near Funiu Mountain for a long time, after all, mountain bandits often pretend to be all kinds of ordinary people to haunt the towns on the side of the mountain and do some murder and arson. The townspeople have heard too much of these rumors, so they are extra wary of outsiders. When Lin Jue and the three of them stayed at the inn, the shopkeeper of the inn also asked some irrelevant words with a scrutinizing gaze. In the end, it was the southern accent of the three of them that relieved the well-informed innkeeper, after all, it was impossible for the bandits in the mountains to speak the unflawed southern official dialect, and the southern dialect was fast, urgent and glutinous, which the mountain bandits would never learn.
