A drizzle of rain fell in the sky, and dark clouds covered the afternoon sun. Six people wearing green hunting uniforms jumped off their horses and walked into the bamboo forest in the mountains. Behind the mountains was a huge city built along the river, which was famous for its beauty.
The rainy and smoky city—Suzhou!
"Put on your poncho and put on my hat. Don't catch a cold..."
Lu Datou took out a poncho from his horse bag, took off Ouyang Jin's bamboo hat and helped her put it on. The poncho made of oilcloth was a modern style, with two sleeves and a hood.
"This poncho is so light. Where can I buy it..."
Ouyang Jin opened her arms in a novel way. Lu Datou helped her tie the buckle of the hood, put on the bamboo hat himself and said: "Jiguo can't buy it. This is military supplies for the dragoons. It can keep out the rain in normal times and in battle."
It can block blood when you wear it, so you won’t be afraid of corpse blood seeping into the wound when you wear it!”
"The dragoons use really good stuff. This poncho can be folded up and put into a horse bag..."
One of the catchers wiped the rain off his face and said with envy: "I heard that a dragoon's outfit, not counting the horse and saber, is worth thousands of taels. Someone picked up an iron lump they dropped and took it home.
After tinkering for a long time, it is said that after splitting it, it turns out to be pork belly, is it true?"
"You're talking about canned food, come with me..."
Lu Datou led the horse to the foot of a big tree, took out two more tin cans from the horse bag, threw one to give them some insight, then took out his dagger and cut open the can in his hand. Sure enough, it was a whole
Jar of greasy braised pork belly.
"Why do you need to wrap the meat with iron sheets? Is it just for convenience..."
Ouyang Jin looked through the cans in confusion. Unexpectedly, Lu Datou took out the outdoor alcohol stove again, put an iron kettle on it and started making tea comfortably.
“More than just convenience!”
Lu Datou sat on a wooden stake, covered the alcohol stove with a bamboo hat and said: "As long as it is not damaged or exposed to the sun, the canned food can be guaranteed not to deteriorate for several years, otherwise it will smell bad in a few days on hot days. These canned meats are last year's meat.
Have you tried it or not?"
"Last year?"
Several people pulled out the meat in disbelief and tried it. Someone immediately nodded and said: "It's delicious! It hasn't turned smelly after so long. If you are marching for a long time, you won't be afraid of running out of meat wherever you go, but such a can of iron
I’m afraid it’s too expensive to wrap the meat?”
"I don't know the specific price. Anyway, currently we only supply Shunguo's elite troops..."
Lu Datou lit a cigarette and said: "People are always more important than money, especially experienced veterans. The equipment of a dragoon can be equivalent to ten ordinary border troops, but if you regard the lives of soldiers as a top priority, others will also sincerely
I will sacrifice my life for you!"
"That makes sense!"
Several people gathered around and squatted down. When the tea was almost boiling, Lu Datou took out a set of small porcelain cups and poured hot tea for them one by one. After the several agents finished drinking, they got into the bamboo forest and sneaked around.
Looking around.
"Zheng Yijian!"
Ouyang Jin sat on the wooden stake and said curiously: "I used to think you were a bastard. I didn't expect you to be a warm-hearted and careful person, but why don't you bring a female deputy? Your boss can't live without a woman. You
This is nothing like him!"
"Who doesn't want to be surrounded by beautiful women, but I can't envy them..."
Lu Datou held the tea cup and said with a bitter smile: "I am a person with rich emotions. It is easy for me to fall in love with anyone. I have suffered a lot from women before, so I don't dare to touch career-oriented women. After all, I live in troubled times, and I will fall in love accidentally."
It’s not worth losing your life!”
"It turns out that you were bitten by a snake once and have been afraid of well ropes for ten years. No wonder you have been behaving well to me..."
Ouyang Jin looked at him playfully, but Lu Datou smiled and said: "You are a lesbian with Stockholm syndrome, why should I waste my energy on you? I am not a friend of women!"
"What is Brother Syndrome, what does it mean..."
Ouyang Jin looked stunned, and Lu Datou chuckled: "To put it bluntly, you have a psychological problem. As a victim, you fell in love with the person who harmed you.
I have masochistic tendencies both physically and mentally, but these are not my words, but my boss’s actual words!”
Ouyang Jin said unconvinced: "Who has masochistic tendencies? How come I am the victim?"
"You used to call her husband Changdi Ji, but now you call her sister. Why..."
Lu Datou stood up and said: "Because a stronger perpetrator than her has appeared, she has also become a lost little lamb. She is no longer the support of your heart. And you have been asking about my boss along the way. Isn't it love?"
Did you fall in love with him? Hehe~"
"Whoever falls in love with him is simply ridiculous..."
Ouyang Jin walked out of the woods with a blushing face. Two fast horses came running from the bottom of the mountain. When he saw her, he immediately turned over and dismounted. One of them clasped his fists and said, "Master! Now we are in trouble. A group of people came to look for the target. As a result,
The Yuan family’s spies are on the lookout!”
"Where are they from? They can't be Thai shadows..."
Ouyang Jin frowned solemnly, and the other party shook his head and said: "The way they act is like being from Jin Yiwei. They should be a group of people secretly controlled by the emperor. However, this group of people is inexperienced, and the Yuan family doesn't even know if they are targeted. If they are allowed to
Once we find the target, the Yuan family will definitely take them down together!"
"This unlucky emperor really fails to succeed and fails more than he should..."
Ouyang Jin cursed angrily. After deliberating for a while, the group immediately went down the mountain. When they entered a ruined temple, she disguised Lu Datou, dressing him up as a bearded man, and she herself became a
A rugged female catcher.
The two Shenyin Sect disciples left on their own, and the six of them entered Gusu City easily as catchers and quick hands. They went to the county government office to deliver the official documents of the sea arrests in a serious manner. After finishing the business, it was already evening, and a few of them were generous.
Went to the night market.
"Come! Try Gusu's famous bee syrup..."
Lu Datou bought a few snacks and wandered along the busy street, but Ouyang Jin whispered: "The target lives in the middle of Ranfang Street. The alley at the door is very narrow, and there are dogs in the yard.
I only go out every once in a while, and I will be alarmed when I get close!"
"Where does the Eagle Dog live?"
Lu Datou rolled his eyes, and Ouyang Jin said: "Those idiots pretended to be traveling businessmen and lived in some Zouma Lane, but the target had gone anonymous and they were exposed after asking around!"
"These two places are not far apart, only two streets apart..."
Lu Datou said softly: "Danfang Street is a brothel den. We fight guerrillas with the officials all year round. When I blow the whistle, hundreds of people can run out to cause trouble. And if I am a dead soldier, I will never have only one den. There must be other secret hiding places."
land!"
"Sir! Someone is following us, has the news leaked..."
One of the catchers suddenly reminded in a low voice that the six of them were all very experienced. They continued to move forward without looking back. They casually turned into an alley and then quickly separated. After about ten seconds of silence, they saw a man approaching.
He ran in.
"Don't scream!"
One of the catchers suddenly covered his mouth, held him up with a knife and dragged him behind the courtyard wall. Several catchers surrounded him and asked, "Say! Who told you to follow us? If not, I would chop him with a knife."
Got you!"
"Don't get me wrong, fellow heroes, I know Zheng Yijian..."
The young master pointed at Lu Datou in horror, and Lu Datou said in shock: "Shi Datiao? I've already turned into this, how did you recognize me? Do you have a crush on me?"
"Haha~ Even with your coquettish temperament, I can recognize you even if you turn into ashes..."
Shi Datiao smiled stiffly and said: "Brother! I heard that you became a high official in Jinling and made a fortune. You should pay back the four hundred taels of silver you owe me. Brother, I can hardly open the door!"
"Didn't you send someone to ask for it last month? Why are you asking for it again..."
"But you didn't give it last month..."
"Tch~ As if I will give it to you this month..."
Lu Datou picked his chin disdainfully and asked: "I remember your boy has a widow.
Fantou, does she live in Ranfang Street, are you still hooking up with her?"
"No more! She thinks I have no money and is more snobbish than a pheasant..."
Shi Datiao cursed angrily, but Lu Datou took out fifty taels of silver notes and gave it to him. He said with a lewd smile: "A widow is cleaner than a pheasant, right? Our brothers will go to her place to have fun, but we are not allowed to tell anyone."
I'm back, otherwise you won't want the rest of the account!"
"Oh! You are really my brother. I'll treat you to tea tonight..."
Shi Datiao excitedly put the banknotes in his pocket and happily led them out, but Ouyang Jin asked suspiciously: "Zheng Yijian! What does this person do? Is he reliable?"
"Of course it's unreliable, but this guy is very smart..."
Lu Datou said in a low voice: "His father was a private salt dealer. After the fall of Shangguan, he was beheaded and his house ransacked, so this kid knows what to ask and what not to ask. Moreover, he used to be a local snake, and he is better than the one in Dyefang Street.
Everyone is familiar with it!”
"It's better to be cautious, our trip is a life-threatening one..."
Ouyang Jin frowned and walked out, obviously uneasy about Lu Datou's decision, but Lu Datou did not expect that the little widow's family not only lived in Ranfang Street, but also lived in the deepest part of the street. Once so many people entered, several families
All the dogs barked.
"Squeak~"
A door to the courtyard was suddenly opened. Ouyang Jin poked Lu Da's head fiercely, and saw a dark-skinned middle-aged man walking out with a dustpan in hand. He didn't look strange when he saw them, but he bent slightly.
Kneel down and wait for them to pass.
"Datiao! If we go with so many people, will we scare people..."
Leader Lu Da spoke in dialect without squinting. Shi Datiao waved his hands in front and said with a smile: "She is just a bitch who is greedy for money. As long as the money is in place, she can do whatever you want. I will call two good families over later. I promise
My brothers’ trip tonight was well worth it!”
"You can order a table of food and drinks later..."
Lu Datou slowed down and took out a broken piece of silver, but when Shi Datiao saw this, he said depressedly: "Brother! You can't let me pour money again. How can you drink with a few coins? I'm no better than before. All the slaves have run away."
, how much can you give me?"
"Do you still need to pay me for drinking? This is your errand fee, idiot..."
Lu Datou threw the silver to him angrily, but his hand slipped and fell to the ground. It rolled right in front of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man subconsciously bent down to pick it up, but a quickie suddenly touched his neck.
Ouyang Jin immediately stepped forward.
"Brother! You are so handsome tonight..."
Shi Datiao stepped forward with a smile on his face, took the money from the middle-aged man's hand, and led them deeper into the street while talking and laughing. They almost reached the end of the street before entering a courtyard, where a pretty little widow greeted him.
When she came out, Shi Datiao immediately dragged her into the house.
"What's wrong? Why don't you take action..."
Lu Datou's face was full of doubts, and Kuaishou who gave the code whispered: "There is someone else in his room. I saw someone's photocopy on the window, and the person who came out didn't look like Li Donglai. Although his appearance was similar to the portrait, his hands
At first glance, he is not a Lianjiazi!"
"But we have already alerted the enemy..."
Ouyang Jin whispered: "Suddenly there are so many official officials here. Being a woman is my biggest flaw. I must take them down tonight, otherwise they will disappear tomorrow!"
"I have a way..."
After Lu Datou whispered for a while, he quickly walked into the room. The little widow's cheeks were red and said: "Master! There are too many of you. I... I have to pay more!"
"In the third courtyard from the front, there is a dark-skinned middle-aged man. Do you recognize him..."
Lu Datou took out two hundred taels of silver notes. The little widow nodded quickly. Lu Datou immediately pulled her and whispered a few words. Soon the little widow rushed out of the door with disheveled hair, shouting sternly: "Come quickly.
People, they force young women into prostitution, they rape civilian girls..."
