The figure who came from the west was wearing a hat and a big hat, and the man suddenly appeared, but the hairy man did not meet him, but just waited for the man with a hat to approach.

The place where Chu Huan was hiding was quite far away from that side, and it was windy at night, but he couldn't hear what he said for a while, but when he saw that the hat man was a few steps away from the hairy man, he immediately stopped, and then arched his hand to the hairy man, and the hairy man also bowed his hand to the man, and then the hairy man seemed to say something, and the hat man laughed.

"What are they talking about?" Zhou Xiong frowned, but when he asked this, he knew that he was talking nonsense, and looking at Chu Huan's expression, he obviously couldn't hear what was being said over there.

Soon, I saw that the hat-man said a few words, and when he spoke, he made a few strange gestures, and then I saw the hat-man take out a thing from his arms and throw it to the hairy man, the hairy man took it, stepped forward, and said a few words, but saw the hat-man laughing, arched his hand at the hairy man's horse, and turned around and left.

The hairy man stood on the ground, as if thinking about something, and soon saw him put the thing that the hat-man had thrown into his arms, and turned and walked this way.

Zhou Xiong and Chu Huan moved silently, turned to the other side, and it didn't take long to see Mao Renju walking by, Mao Renju obviously didn't expect someone to follow him, and when he walked out of a distance, Zhou Xiong looked at Chu Huan and said in a low voice: "Bamboo Hero, it seems that things are really the same as I thought, Mao Renju, this beast, is really colluding with the bandits." ”

"Brother Zhou, do you know the hat man just now?" Chu Huan asked softly.

Zhou Xiong shook his head.

"Brother Zhou didn't judge that it was a bandit." Chu Huan said softly: "Maybe it's just a friend of the hairy man, who came out to meet friends in the middle of the night." ”

Zhou Xiong hurriedly said: "Does Bamboo Daxia think so? ”

"The whereabouts of the hairy foal are indeed strange." Chu Huan said softly: "But it can't be concluded that he has colluded with the bandits ...... because of this!" "At least we can't be sure that the man with the hat just now is a bandit." ”

Zhou Xiong smiled bitterly: "What Zhu Daxia said is true. ”

"But Brother Zhou's worries are right." Chu Huan said: "Although it can't be determined, the whereabouts of the hairy foal are strange, and it seems that it is still very problematic." Brother Zhou rest assured, if something really happens, I will not sit idly by, Brother Zhou will keep an eye on the hairy colt in case something changes. ”

When the two returned to the camp, the camp was still dead silent, and they went back to camp.

As soon as the sky was bright the next day, the team packed up and set off, Chu Huan once again saw the two maids covered with veils and helped Jinlingque into the carriage, and the fact was really as Zhou Xiong said, from Jinlingque's tent, it was really five or six large boxes that were moved, if what Zhou Xiong said was true, the boxes were all Jinlingque's savings over the years.

According to the itinerary of Peacock Terrace, it is from Jinling into the territory of Xishan Road, and then go to the northeast, passing through the Liang, Lin and Yang states of Xishan Road, Xishan Road has jurisdiction over six states, this trip is in the territory of Xishan Road, it will pass through half of the state capitals, out of Xishan Road, you can enter the territory of Hexi Road, but the territory of Hexi Road is a little strange, he is like a fan, the northeast is a fan, and the southwest is a narrow strip, like a fan handle, the bottom end of the fan handle is bordered by Xishan Road, both sides of the narrow strip, the north is Anyi Road, To the south is Hujin Road, and you have to walk through this narrow corridor to really enter the Hexi Mansion, and this corridor, which has always been called the Hexi Corridor, belongs to the territory of Yingzhou, Hexi.

After walking for two more days, out of the territory of Linzhou, into Yangzhou, only need to walk for another three or four days, you can go out of Yangzhou, enter the Hexi corridor, and enter the territory of Hexi.

At noon, the team rested by a river.

The team distributed dry food to everyone, but the deputy leader Zhou Xiong came to do this work, and when he arrived at Chu Huan's side, Chu Huan was sitting alone by the river, and saw Zhou Xiong coming over, taking the dry food, Zhou Xiong squatted down beside Chu Huan, Chu Huan saw that he looked tired, with black circles on the side of his eyes, and said strangely: "Brother Zhou hasn't slept well in the past two days?" ”

Zhou Xiong rubbed his eyes and said with a wry smile: "I have been restless for the past two days, I always feel that something has happened, and I can't sleep well...... Did Bamboo Hero sleep well? ”

"Okay."

Zhou Xiong said with a smile: "The art master is bold, and the bamboo hero is strong in martial arts, so he is naturally not afraid of heaven and earth, and he can sleep soundly wherever he goes." He took a piece of cake and took a bite, but at this moment, he saw Ding Miao coming over and said in a low voice: "Deputy Team Leader Zhou, someone has appeared behind ......!" ”

Zhou Xiong's expression translated, he immediately got up, stretched out his hand to hold the saber on his waist, hurried over, Chu Huan also got up, and followed, most of the people in the team were still eating, talking and laughing in groups, seeing Zhou Xiong's solemn expression, everyone was suddenly solemn, and walked to the back of the team, but saw that Mao Renju had already arrived first, and when he saw Zhou Xiong coming, Mao Renju said: "Deputy Team Leader Zhou, those guys have appeared ...... again!" ”

Chu Huan raised his eyes and looked over, only to see that on a dirt slope in the distance, two horses appeared, and the riders on the horses were all wearing big hats and hats, and they were looking condescendingly from afar.

Chu Huan frowned, he could see clearly at this time that the clothes of the two people were almost exactly the same as the hats that Mao Renju met privately that night.

Chu Huan glanced at the hairy man's horse, only to see that the hairy man's horse had a solemn expression, and he was also staring at the two horses on the hillside from a distance, his expression was solemn, but his eyes were flashing with an extremely strange color.

Zhou Xiong glanced at Mao Renju and said, "Team Leader Mao, what do you mean by these people?" I've been following us for more than ten days since I came here from Jinling, what do they mean? ”

Mao Renju didn't answer and asked: "Who does Deputy Team Leader Zhou think they will be?" ”

"Needless to say." Zhou Xiong sneered: "If you have been following us, it is naturally the idea of beating us, and there is no doubt that it is a bandit." ”

Mao Renju said: "Deputy Team Leader Zhou is right, I also think they have bad intentions." ”

"In that case, let's not wait like this." Zhou Xiong's eyes showed a fierce look: "We have more than a dozen people, why don't we go and fight with them?" ”

Mao Renju said lightly: "They didn't do it, do we have to take the lead?" If they don't want to attack us, but we attack first, wouldn't that be a cause for trouble? ”

At this time, Wu Shizhao, the chief manager, also came over, saw the two horses, frowned, and said, "They are still following?" ”

"Steward, I mean to lead everyone up and catch them." Zhou Xiong said in a deep voice: "Yiqiē is safety-oriented, first arrested these two people, and when we get to Hexi, if they are safe and sound, they will be released, if they have other companions, but there are rash moves, we also have these two people in our hands, let's do it now, Baojiao These two people are difficult to fly." ”

"Nope." Wu Shizhao shook his head and said: "They didn't do anything, we can't cause trouble, although they follow us, but who it is, we can't be sure, we can't arrest them just because they are following us, right?" ”

Zhou Xiong saw that Wu Shizhao also said this, smiled helplessly, looked at Chu Huan, and asked: "Bamboo hero, you walk the rivers and lakes and see a lot of knowledge, according to your opinion?" ”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Even if you want to catch it now, I'm afraid it's too late......!" ”

Zhou Xiong turned his head to look over and found that the two riders had disappeared.

Wu Shizhao instructed everyone not to make a fuss, but called Mao Renju to the side, whispered, Zhou Xiong and Chu Huan walked aside, shook their heads and said with a wry smile: "Zhu Daxia, you have also seen it, the two of them are dressed exactly the same as the people they saw that night, you should believe my words now, right?" Glancing at Wu Shizhao from afar, he saw that Wu Shizhao seemed to be explaining something to Mao Renju, Mao Renju nodded again and again, and said helplessly: "Look, Manager Wu still thinks that Mao Renju is a good person, even if we sue him now that Mao Renju has a problem, I won't believe it." ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming, and Brother Zhou doesn't have to be too anxious." ”

When it gets dark, they can only camp on the edge of a forest, everyone is still skillfully set up tents, and the tent of the Jinling Sparrow is surrounded in it, Chu Huan has followed the team for three or four days, but until now, he has not said a word to the Jinling Sparrow, and he has not even met the Jinling Sparrow head-on, nor has he seen any interaction with other people in the Peacock Terrace of the Jinling Bird River, but Wu Shizhao has gone to the side of the carriage several times to report something to the Jinling Sparrow.

After setting up the tent, it was still cooking in a pot, and before Chu Huan could lie down in the tent, he heard Wu Shizhao's voice outside: "Bamboo hero? ”

Chu Huan immediately sat up and said, "Chief Manager Wu, please come in." ”

Wu Shizhao came in and said with a smile: "Bamboo Daxia is still used to it these days?" Everyone has always been like this, if there is any neglect, don't blame Bamboo Hero. ”

Chu Huan smiled and said: "The chief manager is polite, I feel a little ashamed to be taken care of by you along the way." ”

"It should be, it should be." Wu Shizhao hurriedly smiled, and then asked in a low voice: "Bamboo Hero, those two people during the day, ...... you Do you think they're bandits? You walk the rivers and lakes, and you have seen a lot of things in the rivers and lakes......! ”

Chu Huan smiled and said: "Manager Wu, in fact, you don't have to worry too much, you have more than a dozen martial artists in Peacock Terrace, and I can see that they have all been practiced, and the martial arts of the Mao leader are not weak, in addition to the Mao leader, there are also several good players in the team, ordinary Mao thieves are not to worry about at all, if the following behind is really a bandit, then they have not made a move for a long time, I am afraid that they are also worried, if they are really strong, it is impossible to follow them all the way from Jinling, I am afraid that you have not yet left Jinling, and you have already started......!" ”

When Wu Shizhao heard this, his expression relaxed slightly, and he said with a smile: "It's still Zhu Daxia, yes, if they really have the ability, they don't have to sneak around and follow here...... They must have some scruples, and we still have you, Bamboo Hero, don't worry, in a few days, you will be able to enter Hexi, and when you get to Hexi, it will be much safer. Wei Yi hesitated, but frowned and said: "It's just a little strange, if they really want to do something to Peacock Terrace, it should be as secretive as possible, and they shouldn't expose their whereabouts lightly, but it makes us ...... prepared!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a voice outside: "Boss, it's not good, something happened......!" ”――
