525 Mr. Wu: I’m thankful

Xu Yue and her father and brother looked at each other, and the three members of the family looked unhappy.

"This Sun Ashan..." Xu Da sighed in disappointment.

Xu Yue shook her head and told her father not to rush to a conclusion for Sun Ashan. She felt that Sun Ashan might not know what those men did. The authorities were confused, and maybe he was also kept in the dark.

If this is the case, then Sun Ashan is in danger.

"Don't think about this first, hurry up and get the food, grass and armaments and send them to them immediately!" Xu Dadao.

Xu Yue nodded, but they were not familiar with the place in Jizhou, so large purchases would inevitably attract attention. How should this matter be carried out?

Obviously Xu Da also thought of this. The father and daughter looked at each other, and they all fell silent.

Xu Yue was directly caught blind. The intelligence system was in the hands of her father, and she didn’t know as many people as him.

Xu Da began to search for candidates he could use in his memory. After a moment, a simple and honest middle-aged man's face suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Yes!"

Xu Yue and Xu Dalang both looked over, "Who?"

Xu Dashen secretly let it go and only asked Zhao Jian to "escort" himself and others to a small town in the south.

.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the sunset cast an orange-red light, adding a sense of warmth to the cold town.

People returning from the journey saw their home shrouded in warm orange light, their hearts warmed, and they quickened their pace as they felt eager to return.

On the loess road outside the town, a group of officers and soldiers were escorting the suspect, following the people returning home, and separated from the people entering the city at the city gate.

The common people entered the city one by one, but the team escorted by officers and soldiers bypassed the city gate and drove towards the green brick and white wall village in the suburbs.

"Bang bang bang!" Several times, the brass ring of Pixiu was slapped loudly and loudly on the black painted door.

"Who is it? You were shooting so fast that the door was almost broken!"

A man's impatient questioning came from the courtyard, his voice rough and ferocious.

With a "squeak", the door opened halfway, and a dark-faced middle-aged man in coarse cloth stuck his head out of the door. When he saw the huge group of officers and soldiers in front of the door, his heart trembled and his eyes flashed rapidly.

After a moment of panic.

Just when the middle-aged man thought that he had accidentally exposed his identity as a spy, and the officers and soldiers came to arrest him, a man with a fairy-like manner walked out from the officers and soldiers.

Seeing that face that he didn't recognize at first glance, but looked familiar upon closer inspection, the middle-aged man in the door almost stared out of his eyes.

He asked tentatively: "Who are you looking for?"

"Old Wu, long time no see!" Xu Dalue greeted cheerfully, completely ignoring the frightened and miserable look of the other party.

Hearing this familiar voice, Mr. Wu whispered in disbelief: "Mr. Xu?"

"Mr. Xu, if you are more talented, just call me Xu Da." Xu Da raised his hand and patted Boss Wu warmly on the shoulder.

I think back then, when they were at the border of Youzhou, they were considered brothers who had experienced life and death.

Xu Da naturally put his arms around the opponent's shoulders, but Boss Wu looked at the Gongsun officers and soldiers outside the door, confused.

"Here, these officers and soldiers..."

Xu Da waved his hands, looking indifferent, "Hey, we are all our own people!"

When Mr. Wu heard this, his anxious heart finally fell to the ground and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, he would really be grateful for being so scared!

Ignoring the excitement of meeting an old friend, Mr. Wu looked at the Xu Yue brother and sister sitting on the bullock cart in the crowd, and suddenly felt that he was not well.

It's definitely not an easy thing for this family to suddenly come to our door.

Moreover, he remembered that there was a portrait of Xu Yue's wanted order posted on the notice board at the entrance of the town.

That was a huge bounty of 20,000 taels of gold. If he hadn't seen the power of this family before, Boss Wu would have felt that he couldn't help but feel crazy.

"Gulu~" Boss Wu swallowed to moisten his throat that was tight due to fright, and then he smiled.

He looked around. Fortunately, his house was at the foot of the hill. There were no neighbors around. It was getting late and everyone had gone home. Shouldn't no one have seen these people in front of his house?

"Don't worry, there was no one on the road when we came here." Xu Da saw what Boss Wu was thinking and comforted him with a smile.

Boss Wu smiled reluctantly and invited the person into the hospital.

His house is quite large. After entering the courtyard, everyone herded their carriages and horses into the stable at the back door. There were already several good horses here, and there were several carriages beside the stable.

After the carriages and horses of Xu Yue and his entourage joined in, the whole backyard was so crowded that they couldn't even move their feet.

Everyone had no choice but to go around the front yard and enter through the gate.

There are a total of forty-six people. Even though Mr. Wu’s house is spacious enough, it is also cramped.

There seemed to be no one else at home, except for two cleaning boys and two young couples in charge of the kitchen.

This courtyard is not Mr. Wu's old house, but the house where he temporarily settled in Hejian County, where he could rest while doing business.

Xu Da stood in the hall, looked at it for a moment, and praised: "I didn't expect that Old Wu, you look so shabby, but you hide such a big house behind your back."

Boss Wu still had lingering fears for the officers and soldiers like Zhao Jian, so he politely arranged for them to sit on the benches in the courtyard to rest. Then he walked into the hall and smiled bitterly at Xu Da,

"Brother Xu, don't make fun of me. This little property is not worth much money. It can't compare with the great business of your family, Brother Xu."

Boss Wu suddenly remembered something and asked in surprise: "How did you know that I settled here?"

Xu Da smiled mysteriously, "A destined person told us that we haven't contacted each other for a long time. Is your business going well here, Old Wu?"

Mr. Wu said modestly: "It's okay, it's okay, but there has been an uprising in the city recently, and checkpoints have been set up everywhere. The trade roads in this area are temporarily inaccessible, so I will take a rest at home."

There was a temptation in these words, and Xu Da didn't mean to hide it. He said bluntly: "You also know the leader."

Boss Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead. Of course he knew that Sun Ashan and other Huokang Gang disciples had asked someone to inform him in advance before the riot, which allowed him to successfully move the shops in the city in advance.

Since leaving Youzhou, he has not had as many contacts with the Huokang Gang disciples as before.

Although everyone had worked together in Juyong County, he still had to lead the caravan to continue making a living.

In addition, there was little activity in the Huokang Gang during this period, and the two parties gradually became less and less frequent, and it was not until mid-February that they regained contact.

Now meeting the Xu family, Mr. Wu guessed that the so-called riots and the uprising were all planned by the Xu family army early in the morning.

Outsiders don't know the relationship between the Huokang Gang and the Xu Jiajun, but he does.

After learning that Sun Ashan led the disciples of the Huokang Gang into Hejian County and drove away Jizhou Shepherd Yuan Song, he had a premonition that the Xu family was about to arrive.

I just didn't expect them to arrive so quickly, and they came with the Jizhou officers and soldiers, so I was shocked.
