Chapter 10: The hero is old (Sixth)

At the west end of Luofengpo Town, at the intersection of the first prison in the capital, a cloth sign hung on a seven or eight feet tall. The thick blue square cloth was blown in the cold north wind.

The four words in the book are: "Li Ji Tea Shop".

Due to heavy snow, there were almost no pedestrians on the official road, so the tea shop's shop finally found an opportunity to sleep in, so of course I wanted to sleep for a while.

There are three people in the tea shop, one boss and two friends. The boss's home is in Luofengpo Town, so his wife and concubines will naturally not come too early. The two friends stay in the hotel, one is Zhang, the third place in the family, and the other is Li, the fourth place in the family. Zhang San and Li Si are so easy to call, so the two are hired by the boss at the same time.

"Dongdong..." Zhang San and Li Si were awakened by a sudden knock on the door. The two opened their sleepy eyes and looked at each other, thinking to themselves, "It's such a cold day, who can spend the two of them so early?"

"Li Si, go and open the door!" Zhang San said first. It was cold outside, and he was reluctant to leave the warm bed.

"Why did you let me go?" Li Si was unhappy.

Zhang Sanyi said as if he were right, "The boss told me that you have to listen to me when he is not here." After saying that, he smiled and looked proud.

"Hmph!" He had to listen to the boss's words. He was his parents who had to slowly poke out of the bed.

Just as Li Si was reluctant to put on his clothes, the knock on the door became rapid, and there were endless curses. Li Si quickly accelerated the speed of passing on the clothes, and shouted loudly to the front: "Here, come..."

"Li Si, what's wrong with you? This captain called the door for a stick of incense. Why did you come to open the door? This captain is using official duties. If it is delayed, you can't afford to be guilty!" Li Si opened the door and saw seven or eight constables wearing soap clothes standing at the door. The leader was still an acquaintance. Guo Xiong, the captain who was afraid of everyone in Luofengpo Town, felt that it was not good for the Year of the Ox. When he met such a evil star, he immediately smiled with a sad face and said, "It turns out that it is Captain Guo, the young Li Si has apologized for you."

"Go and make a few pots of good tea for us, hurry up!" Guo Xiong glared at Li Si fiercely and said.

"Okay, Captain Guo, and a few officials, you can wait and come soon." Li Si quickly lowered his head and bowed and said with a smile.

"Brother Guo, what's the important thing about handing us brothers over to this Li Ji Tea Shop early in the morning?" Guo Xiong led the seven detectives to find two tables near the door and sat down. One of the detectives sitting beside Guo Xiong asked.

"This captain received news that the 'poisonous spider' who committed more than a dozen lives in seven provinces in Jiangnan will pass by our Luofengpo Town today." Guo Xiong said in a low voice and mysterious manner.

"Ah!" The detective who asked was shocked, quickly covered his mouth and said with a nervous expression.

"Brother Guo, Poison Spider is very skilled in martial arts. Just we guys may..."

"Why, you're afraid. You have to know that since you're wearing this public uniform, you're loyal to your duties. You're afraid of going home to breastfeed the child!" Guo Xiong glared at him.

"No, we are so blatant..."

"The female demon, the poisonous spider, has a high opinion of herself and is arrogant. If she knew that we were waiting for her here, she might have come over on her own initiative." A flash of light in Guo Xiong's eyes, as if she was full of confidence, and seemed to have some meaning.

After hearing the news from Li Si, Zhang San knew that the person who came was Guo Xiong, the headmaster of the town, and immediately complained secretly. Guo Xiong relied on his loose martial arts to be invincible in the entire Luofengpo Town. He relied on his own to have more than a dozen people under him. He was extremely arrogant and arrogant on weekdays. Although he did not bully men and women, he also had bad records. This Li Ji Tea Shop was not the boss in Beijing and had some connections. He probably had a surname of Guo for a long time. Because Guo Xiong had been unable to get along with their boss openly and secretly. Today, this plague god came to his door, but I don’t know what trouble would cause!

"Damn it, Li Si, brewing a pot of tea is so slow!" A sudden shout came from the front.

"Here, come, it's almost done!" Li Si had a bitter face and tried his best to stir up the stove, hoping that the water in the pot would be able to be opened sooner.

"Brother Guo, this is boring. I'm waiting anyway. Why not play a few more games?" The detective said in a flattering suggestion.

"Okay, this idea is good, waiting for nothing is boring!" Guo Xiongniu's eyes lit up, as if he was good at it, and immediately slapped the table and agreed.

The detectives took out all the guys whom they carried with them for timely fun, and immediately shouted and shouted.

The tea shop, which was just deserted just now, has become lively.

It takes one day to walk from the capital to Luofengpo Town, and it takes half a day to ride a carriage. This was the past, now the journey is flat, you can get there in half a day, and you can get there in just two hours of riding a horse.

In order to protect his master Lan Rong from going to the First Prison, Xiao Meixiang pretended to be Lan Rong with a pass token and left the city overnight. The Hai brothers who received the order immediately followed with the token in hand.

Xu Rongrong had already been the Ming people who had been chasing Xiao Meixiang outside the city and led the Hai brothers who had been chasing him astray. Then Xiao Meixiang went to meet with Lan Rong at the scheduled location, and then suddenly attacked behind her back, thus capturing Lan Rong without any bloodshed.

Indeed, according to normal people's thinking, even if Lan Rong had a hasty doubt on how Xiao Meixiang could get rid of the Hai brothers' tracking, she would not have thought that Xiao Meixiang no longer cared about revealing her identity and launched a sudden attack. This attack was at least 80% sure that Lan Rong would be severely injured or captured.

Xu Rongrong's plan is very strict, but the mechanism is too smart. She never thought that Xiao Meixiang had exposed her identity. This flaw was enough to make all her plans turn over, but she was plotted against her.

Xu Rongrong ignored two points. One is that since Lan Lin was willing to invest so much capital to send Lan Rong into the palace, it shows that he valued Lan Rong and proved from one side that Lan Rong was not a vase with high martial arts skills. Secondly, the Hai brothers are not ordinary people. Especially under Zhou Huaian's training, the tracking ability has reached the highest level. Before leaving, the two brothers were quietly pulled over by Magu and instructed them. Even Zhu Yinglong didn't know these two sentences. It was not until later that he realized how powerful Magu was in calculating.

Of course, there are some details. For example, when Lan Rong was found out that she had left the palace, Zhu Yinglong immediately sent someone to issue an order to Ma Jie that she would not allow Lan Rong to visit the prison and detain him. This was for the people of Wuwei Sect to see, because some subtle things were not done, or the omissions according to normal procedures would inevitably arouse the enemy's suspicion. He did this and made the people of Wuwei Sect believe that Lan Rong had indeed left the palace and came to the First Prison.

Therefore, unfortunately, the envoy who sent the order was ambushed halfway, and the imperial edict in her arms was also searched and fell on Xu Rongrong's desk. Combined with the information given by Mei Xiang and the news from her subordinates, plus the imperial edict sent to the First Prison, the uneasiness in Xu Rongrong's heart completely disappeared. She seemed to have seen the bitch Lan Rong kneeling in front of her and crying and begging for mercy to her!

"Report to the brigade generals, the scout is back." After returning to the Xishan Camp, Li Yao immediately transferred more than 400 people from the first battalion, the most direct line of his brigade, out of the barracks in the name of night field marching. After a quick march in the middle of the night, he finally arrived in the woods behind a small hill about three miles northwest of the Sanchakou of Luofengpo.

The private transfer of troops violated the military law of the Ming Dynasty, but almost all the officers and soldiers of Li Yao were brought out by Li Yao, so none of them, from battalion commanders to ordinary soldiers raised questions. In their eyes, they were only loyal to Li Yao, and Li Yao would do whatever Li Yao asked them to do.

"What's the matter?" Li Yao was wearing camouflage, wearing a pair of long-legged black military boots, her hair was tied behind her head, hidden under her helmet, and a military telescope was hung on her chest. Her pretty face was tight, and she had a majesty and radiant from the inside out.

If Zhu Yinglong saw Li Yao in military uniform at this moment, he would have wanted to come forward immediately and hug the peerless enchantress in his arms and become frivolous.

"Reporting to the brigade general, Li Ji Tea Shop has been surrounded, with about a hundred people, all hiding under the school. Early this morning, a team of public constables came to Li Ji Tea Shop to drink tea and gamble in it, and I don't know what purpose it was." The scout was called to Li Yao and said.

"Constable?" Li Yao was stunned. She felt that the pair of constables seemed a little unusual, and it appeared too abruptly. In such a cold day, there was nothing to do and wouldn't they go to Li Ji Tea Shop to gamble. The door of the tea shop was wide open. Aren't these constables afraid of the cold? She was still sitting on two tables just by the door. There must be something wrong with the constables, and Li Yao immediately made a judgment.

There is no doubt that these hundred people who are ambushed in the snow are all from Wuwei Sect, and who is the team of constables? There is an official road in front of Li Ji Tea Shop. No one dares to swagger the fake imperial court mansions above the official road. These people must be real constables, but their purpose is questionable.

"You find someone smart and immediately go to Luofengpo Town to find out if there is a team of constables in the town coming to Li Ji Tea Shop. Who is the leader?" Li Yao ordered the captain of the scout team.

The captain of the scout team quickly went down and picked a clever soldier to change into the clothes of the people, and went to inquire about the news according to Li Yao's order.

Although it is affected by heavy snow, it is not very big. Therefore, there are not people walking on the official road. Those who are tired and thirsty will go to Liji Tea Shop to drink a bowl of hot tea, take a rest and then set off. It is just that it is much colder than before. Who says that the road is cold and the road is slippery and difficult to walk!
