Chapter 78 78 Return to the next
There were shouts and shouts all over the road, and some of them had learned to write. They used a wooden charcoal pen to write handwriting patterns in front of them, and they stood behind the wooden boards and waited.
It doesn't matter if you don't know the words on the wooden board, the pictures can be seen after all.
For example, the restaurant staff and the wine shop staff were looking for work, so they drew a rough appearance of a wine glass.
Those who sell things and sell people directly put the price on the person being sold.
The man looked left and right, and soon stopped in a corner.
"We collect herbs on the mountain, and we go back and forth in the forest of Hongshan Mountain in one day! He was born as a local hunter, and the government has registered, so come quickly!"
"Miaoshan Hongxigou, come quickly if you want to go, a team of ten people, leave when full."
"The Zhao family caravan, the destination is the capital, there are still three positions left, and they will set off in four days. Bring your own food."
"The Tonghe mansion is gone, the last person, the last person, come and leave! Thirty-person team, come back and forth in January! Three taels of silver and money! Bring your own food!"
Behind the wooden signs, stood a group of people in different clothes and ages shouting.
The sound made the man frown at first, but without him, the sound was too loud.
After turned around, he slowly got used to it and started to find the target he needed.
This man is Zhang Rongfang who has been around the city.
After he got the news of the Golden Wings Tower, he immediately went to confirm it, and then went to the Prison Department to ask for leave.
Has the Li family's relationship, and recently killed a large number of people, the law and order is excellent.
The team happily gave him a week's vacation.
After asking for leave, Zhang Rongfang found the road immediately.
When he was chatting with his subordinates in the past, he learned that many people in the road field, many of them are veterans who have traveled far and wide. If they want to go somewhere and learn about the specific information of that place, the best way is to come here to inquire about the situation. .
But at this time, Zhang Rongfang turned around and couldn't find anyone who went to the seven counties.
"Anyone going to Huaxin County?" He couldn't, so he walked to a guy who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a few stones in front of him playing some game.
This man had a plank in front of him, and it was written that he was going to a place called Jiannong.
The guy heard the words, raised his head and glanced at him.
"I can't go to that place now, and the main road has been blocked."
"What about the trail?" Zhang Rongfang asked with a frown.
"Xiaodao? Not many people know about it. And the trail is a bit dangerous, and most people don't dare to go." The guy looked at Zhang Rongfang's strong physique, and then shook his head again.
"But this uncle, there are people who want to go to the seven counties, but there are people in the family who can't get there. If you want to go, you can go and pair with them."
This man pointed to the side, a dozen paces away.
There were several red-painted wooden boards on the stall there.
On one side of the plank, most of the people standing were taciturn and silent, in stark contrast to the people around them who were shouting.
Zhang Rongfang walked over. I asked.
"Huaxin County? Let's go!"
The speaker was a thin, three-stroked bearded man.
His face was gloomy, his hands were tucked into his sleeves and held together in front of him.
"Now you can't walk on the main road, you can only walk on the small road, does this one know?" He looked at Zhang Rongfang and asked.
"I know, how do I get it?" Zhang Rongfang breathed a sigh of relief. There were not many people going to the seven counties, and even fewer of them were going to Huaxin County.
Now it's hard to find one.
"Twelve and one person." The three-curved Hu man said solemnly.
"Twelve taels!?" Zhang Rongfang was suddenly surprised.
Huaxin County is only three days away from Tanyang and the official road.
When he came with the caravan, it only cost him three or two.
"Special time, whether love will go or not." The man said impatiently.
Zhang Rongfang looked at the people standing behind the man. Some of them were pale and red. Some were muttering something in a low voice with the beads in their hands. Others squatted and lowered their heads, not seeing any expressions.
"When?" Zhang Rongfang asked.
"Let's set off early tomorrow morning and take the Qingding Mountain detour." Three-handedly Hu replied, perhaps because Zhang Rongfang might have financial resources, his attitude was slightly better.
Thinking that he must go back as soon as possible within five days, Zhang Rongfang was too lazy to bargain.
At times like this, people make it clear that the price will start on the ground, and there is nothing to say.
He decisively paid the deposit, got the agreed place, and after exchanging the names of both parties, got up and left.
On this trip back, he still doesn't know what the condition of the master and senior brother is, and he has to make various preparations.

Huaxin County.
In a residential house.
Two groups of strong men with sturdy bodies and weapons faced each other.
The leaders on both sides sat down at the two ends of a wooden table, motionless.
The one on the left is a middle-aged man with a gray beard, a black leather armor, a machete hanging from his waist, and a scar on his right eye from top to bottom, almost stabbing him blind.
This person is the general manager of Hailong in Huaxin County, Zhao Yueting.
Standing behind him is Hailong's most elite backbone in Huaxin County.
The man sitting across from him was the head of intelligence who came here from Tan Yang, the Red Dog King.
Red Dog King is already over thirty years old.
Because the skin of the whole body is slightly reddish, and there are few hairs on the head, it looks like a stray dog with hair loss, so people give him the nickname Red Dog King.
This person is a Huxi, and he has a large number of Huxi people of the same ethnicity and hometown to cooperate and form a group. He usually sells information for a living.
And the reason why he came here is naturally to gather more information. At the same time, it is also to sell more information to the Lingting garrison.
Wealth and wealth are at risk. The more this happens, the greater the value of information.
"How is it? Have you found out the foundation of this group of chaotic troops?" Zhao Yueting asked in a deep voice.
He was arranged here to investigate the logistical breach of the rebel army for more than a month.
Unfortunately, progress is very slow.
"Hey, no breakthrough, I will invite you to trade here?" The Red Dog King took the dry smoke handed over by his side, carefully lit the velvet with flint, and took a deep breath.
Wait until the cut tobacco lights up red dots, then put it down, and puff out the smoke leisurely.
"Not only did I find logistical clues, but I also found one of the most important pieces of information for you. I will keep you and get promoted after you go back!"
Zhao Yueting's heart moved, but he didn't move. The Red Dog King has always had this exaggerated style, and he is used to it.
"Tell me? The price is still the same."
"Okay." The Red Dog King nodded. "This chaotic army is called Zhenyong Army. Among the six leaders, three of the Han family are responsible for military affairs, and some of the resources are also supported by the Han family themselves. You should know this, right?"
"Naturally." Zhao Yueting nodded.
"Also, Huaxin County is located behind the seven counties, hey, guess which one has the most food in this place?"
"You mean??" Zhao Yueting's expression changed slightly.
"It's the one you think." The Red Dog King smiled, "How about it, this time, I'll give you another breakthrough, but you Sea Dragons want to do me a favor!"
"Look at how expensive what you gave." Zhao Yueting said solemnly.
"Okay." The Red Dog King laughed, "Your Hailong's credit is good enough. After working together for so many years, I trust you."
He stepped forward and leaned forward.
"It is the Qinghe Gong Chuan Gongdu Master, Zhang Xuan, and his son Zhang Xintai who are in charge of the logistics of the chaotic army."
"It's him!?" Zhao Yueting's face sank. "Zhang Xuan is at least Rank 4. He was a Rank 5 master when he was young, and with the support of the chaotic army, even if we find him, it doesn't make much sense. So, what is the breakthrough you're talking about?"
"I found out that there are people who are dissatisfied with Zhang Xuan within the chaotic army. They want to attack him."
Red Dog King smiled mysteriously.
"And just so, that man has a very good relationship with Zhang Xuan, and he is also one of the leaders of the chaotic army."
"You mean, that person wants to surrender?" Zhao Yueting suddenly understood.
"Exactly! I just need to wait for him to create opportunities."
"Besides, the strange thing is that Zhang Xintai, the son of Zhang Xuan, should have been newly married not long ago, but the Yang Hongyan Yang family he took over is now missing." The Red Dog King continued.
"In addition, I also found out that Zhang Xuan accepted a disciple a few days ago named Zhang Rongfang. Now that Zhang Rongfang is nowhere to be seen.
I suspect that these people were arranged to go somewhere safe. "
"Yang Hongyan, if Zhang Rongfang is talking about a safe place, which of these seven counties is the safest?" Zhao Yueting shook his head gently.
"Don't worry, I have already checked the Yang family. The Yang family has been doing a small business in the county before, and the purchase has always been to Tanyang, and the hometown is in Xuyang Town. It is nothing more than these three places. I followed this line to find , and finally find clues."
The Red Dog King smiled and said, "At that time, we will arrest both sides together. If we can't solve Zhang Xuan directly, we will use another line to threaten the lives of his daughter-in-law's family and apprentice. There is always a way to get through."
Zhao Yueting nodded with a smile, and he was relieved.
The so-called Zhenyong Army was actually destined to fail from the very beginning.
"Then when is he going to do it?"
"The set time is three days later, when he will bring Zhang Xuan's head to find us." The Red Dog King smiled.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was bright.
Tanyang City Gate opened slowly.
A small group of men and horses mixed with those who left the city, lined up to inspect the letter and left the city gate.
In the team, including Zhang Rongfang, there are a total of six people.
The leader is the three-handed Hu Chen Guocao, and another woman named Xiaohuan.
The two seem to be husband and wife, and Chen Guocao is thin. Xiao Huan is big and three thick, one arm can be used as her husband and one leg.
The other three were the three Zhang Rongfang had seen before.
After leaving the city, no one in the team spoke, but after carefully checking the luggage, they left the main road and walked to the left into a small road.
From morning to noon, a group of people fetched water and rested by a stream.
led the team, Chen Guocao and his wife to sit aside, and the remaining four rested separately.
No one has time to meet anyone.
At this time, they spent a lot of money to return to Huaxin, and everyone's apprehension and worry were almost beyond words.
Zhang Rongfang also took out a hard-boiled egg from his bag, peeled the shell and ate it, drinking milk tea from time to time.
This milk tea has added a lot of sugar, millet, black glutinous rice.
The taste is mellow, not much different from the milk tea I ate in my previous life. Even more mellow. It is the best to use to fight hunger and supplement nutrition.
He frowned, thinking about what to do in Huaxin County.
What's going on over there? What did the rebels do to the county seat? How to quickly find a master and a brother?
These all need to be considered in advance.
Chen Guocao and Xiao Huan sat not far away, next to a large rock, nibbling on the scallion pancakes in their hands.
"How far are we?" Xiao Huan asked.
"It's still early, even if the road is faster, it won't be until tomorrow night at least." Chen Guocao shook his head.
"Where is the fire then?" Xiao Huan rubbed her hands, feeling a little cold.
"It will be born in the next ditch in a while, don't worry." Chen Guocao replied impatiently.
"All right."
So far, the two stopped talking, and each ate bread with a water bag.
After resting for a while, the group continued on their way.
Chen Guocao and his wife led the way, and the rest followed behind.
No one noticed, the two couples made eye contact as they walked.
In fact, from the very beginning, these two people planned to use the guise of leading the way to defraud high-priced tolls.
After all, Huaxin County is now in a chaotic uprising, and human life is like a must. Wasn’t it courting death in the past?
The two originally planned to leave Tan Yang, but due to the lack of travel expenses, they thought of a way to make a deal, and then take the opportunity to sneak away when they took people in the wild, and then took the money they cheated and went to other places. place to live again.
And most importantly.
The two of them actually didn't know how to get to Huaxin County.
I don’t even know the path to Huaxin County.
just aimed at the general direction and walked down a herb collecting path that they had traveled before.
They don't know the way anyway, and it's even less likely that the idiots behind them know.
As long as the general direction is similar, just mess around and you’re done.
