There was a fat middle-aged man in the banquet crowd. He couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw Mr. Zhou staying in a crowd. He had prepared a piece of silver for Mr. Zhou to accompany him. He planned to hand the prepared young girl in front of Mr. Zhou himself after the banquet. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhou left early. In this way, his plan would be disappointed.

If you can climb up to this master, you will be very sure of your recovery again. Even if you are unable to become an official for a while, it would be a shame to meet a former master of the dynasty! This middle-aged man was as anxious as an ant in a hot pan. No, he must immediately visit Master of the Prime Minister. This time he gave all the 3,000 taels of silver he wore around him, and then presented the carefully selected young girls. He didn't believe that Master Zhou was not moved. This middle-aged man made up his mind secretly!

This middle-aged man was Shi Dayong, a retired official who Feng Jian and others wanted to plot against. Lord Shi was exploited too much during his tenure and did not make friends with officials in the court. He was impeached by the censor and was directly dismissed and resigned.

Although he retired and returned to his hometown, he was always looking for the opportunity to become an official again. When he heard the news that Mr. Zhou came to Pingduzhou, Shi Dayong was very happy. This god-given opportunity must not be missed.

So Shi Dayong prepared a generous gift, picked out two of the beautiful maids he had kept in his family, and led a team of servants to Pingdu City.

Having a birthday is not as important as a new birthday, becoming an official again. Shi Dayong understands this more than anyone else. As long as you curry favor with the old master of last week, it would be fine if you don’t do a birthday.

So he handed over the birthday party to the housekeeper, and he rushed back from Pingdu City to celebrate his birthday after only three days.

A day later, Shi Dayong, who was extremely anxious, finally saw Mr. Zhou and presented two silver gifts. Mr. Zhou's dull face instantly showed an expression, encouraging Shi Dayong to study quietly and wait to serve the emperor again. However, there was no word to help him recover. This old liar himself was unable to protect his official position. How could he help others recover? Shi Dayong's filial piety was wasted!

But Shi Dayong, who was full of fantasy, felt that his future was bright and lamented that there was no white silver, and that his future would be supported.

After leaving Pingdu City with satisfaction, the servants rode a horse to guard Shi Dayong's carriage and walked towards Taojia Taizi Village, thirty miles away. Shi Dayong recalled the words and deeds of Mr. Zhou, and recalled the expression of the mouth twitching when he saw Yinzi on his dull and rigid face. He secretly praised him for his demeanor as the prime minister. He could be said that the face of Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his expression was still twitching. He would have to follow his example in the future.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hu Dadao led Feng Jian and his thirteen guards to hide in a dense forest ten miles south of Taojiataizi Village. Thirty steps outside the forest was a hard-grain road, which went south to Pingdu, Zhoucheng. There were villages scattered around the official road, and the surrounding land was deserted. The autumn sun was exposed to the land. There were no one on the official road for a long time, and only the cicadas in the forest were chirping one after another.

Hu Dadao was a little anxious and had been ambushing in the forest for two days. Tomorrow was the birthday of Mr. Shi, but the Shi family's inner supporter did not show up at all. If an accident occurred, he would change his mind temporarily, which made people inaccurate. Of course, Hu Dadao and others were also always on guard against this inner supporter's back bite.

There has been no contact with the insider here. Hu Dadao had already sent a brother to inform Commander Xu about the accident here. Xu Ma Gang was also confused. Logically speaking, the insider should not have made such a mistake. Did the insider have an accident?

If the inner person had not contacted Hu Dadao and others before the birthday of Shi Jia, then Huluyan had to cancel the operation and joked that he would only rely on a group of village households who were not equipped with weapons and weapons to attack a tightly guarded fortress, which was simply a death sentence!

The plan agreed by both sides was that the Shi family was recruiting guards fortresses. Hu Dadao and his thirteen young and strong men dressed up as relatives and friends of the inner circle and joined the Shi family as guards. Which inner circle would pick up the thirteen people into the Shi family in this dense forest. But after waiting for more than a day, Hu Dadao looked at the direction of the Shi family's fortress in the distance, and there was not even a bird on the empty official road.

Hu Dadao and others were anxious and cursed in a low voice: "I know that this inner man is not reliable. Now there is another day to be the life of the owner of the Shi family. We cannot just rely on that inner man. If we don't have to come to our door, we will come to our door by ourselves. I believe the Shi family will not refuse. Damn, the commander will hand over the important task to me. If I ruined the matter, I, Old Hu, will never be able to raise my head in the counterfeit village from now on!"

Feng Jian next to him was also helpless. He understood Hu Dadao's anxiety. Xu Mabang valued him and handed him over the important tasks, but he couldn't do it. Although the responsibility was not on him, he always felt that he had let down the trust of Xu Mabang.

The two Feng Jian combined, which was not as good as Hu Dadao, an old thief who had been robbing families for many years, was at a loss, and he couldn't figure out a way, so he had to stay by the side and work anxiously.

The other dozen guards are Hu Dadao Wushou's confidants. They are good at fighting and killing. If you have any ideas and solutions, don't expect them.

Feng Jian had not figured out the situation of the inner responder, and at this time he couldn't help but ask Hu Dadao: "What is the errand doing in the historian?"

Hu Dadao said rudely: "General Xu Da's confession that this person is a small leader in the escort of the Shi Mansion. He has picked up the wasteland in the city with General Xu Da. He holds a grudge against Mr. Shi because of some dirty things. He took advantage of this time that the Shi Mansion will celebrate his birthday and secretly contact Commander Xu Da, preparing to overturn the Shi family, kill Mr. Shi, and rob the Shi family of goods and supplies."

As he said that, he gasped and hit the tree trunk beside him with his hands and said, "It seems that this person is really not a good person. He even betrayed his own master. Such people cannot be associated with him."

In this case, Feng Jian and others had no choice but to do anything. The other guards cursed the insider who did not show up and did not speak his credit.

Feng Jian looked at Hu Dadao's irritable look and was unwilling to bother him. He turned around and walked towards the edge of the secret, which made it easier to find out if anyone was in contact.

Walking to the edge of the forest, my eyes unconsciously glanced at the official road not far away through the woods.

I saw a group of people coming from Pingdu, with about twenty horse-riding guards guarding the carriages pulled by the two horses in the middle. Seeing the guards on the horses exposed to the autumn sun, they were all a little listless.

Feng Jian blinked hard and saw clearly that there was a team of people passing by. It seemed that they were not the merchants who transported goods. After hesitating for a while, he turned around and walked to Hu Dadao and whispered: "Captain Hu, a team of people came from the official road, and everyone was riding war horses and guarding a carriage!"

Hu Dadao rushed up quickly when he heard this, and moved quickly like a raccoon cat. He ran to the edge of the woods and observed the people coming from afar.

I saw more than twenty knights divided into front and back, and a large carriage in the middle of the guards was slowly moving from south to north.

The team gradually approached, and Hu Dadao saw bead curtains hanging on the front side of the carriage. As the carriage advanced, he could vaguely see a figure leaning against the carriage, and his body swayed slightly as the carriage swayed.

The guards on the horse were dressed in uniform jade-colored cloth and silk armor (note), and the horse's back was hung with various weapons and weapons.

In the hot days, they were already sweating profusely. The horse under their crotch kept sniffing, and the ponytail swung back and forth impatiently, and slowly followed the carriage towards Shijiazhai Fort.

There was not even a trace of wind on the sultry official road, and the sultry weather made the guards on the horse lose their vigilance.

Thinking about it, facing more than twenty fully armed cavalry guards, ordinary thieves did not even have the courage to confront them head-on. More than twenty well-equipped knights charge, and the thief who had the idea of ​​them had to accept the fate of being massacred. Therefore, these horse-riding guards were a little lazy.

Hu Dadao stared at the well-equipped knights with greed eyes, and spat out in his mouth, but he thought it was a pity that there were few people around him. If there were hundreds of brothers around him, he would rush forward and grab the more than twenty horses directly.

However, I dare not make rash things at will now. Judging from the whereabouts of these people, I should be heading towards Shijia Village Fort, and I should have some connection with Shijia Village Fort.

Feng Jian was also carefully looking at the group of horse-riding guards on the official road, focusing on the guarded carriage. There was only a village in Tao Family Taizi nearby. Looking at the owner's pomp, this person's identity was very unusual! Maybe he was a birthday celebration for the Shi Family? Maybe he was a more important figure in the Shi Family who returned from going out? Feng Jian thought to himself.

No matter what the person is, judging from the other party's attitude, more than a dozen people on his side cannot afford to offend others, and they cannot afford to avoid being offended.

Feng Jian and Hu Dadao looked at each other, and each saw regret and helplessness in each other's eyes. Hu Dadao slowly shook his head and waved his hand to greet Feng Jian and his guards retreated deep into the woods.

The people who came from the official road were Shi Dayong and his party. They set out from the Pingdu City in the morning. The team has been walking for nearly two hours, and at most one hour can get home.

It is also because the road is flat, which is conducive to carriage walking, but even so, Mr. Shi still felt that his whole body was bumpy and was eager to find a place to get off the car and take a breath.

In the carriage, I saw the dense forest and the large shade in front of the forest. I sat in the carriage for a while and felt uncomfortable all over. So I called Sun Fang, the leader of the leader, and asked him to take the team off the official road and take a break to the edge of the woods in front to take a break. It would not be too late to get on the road again after noon.

The carriage naturally could not get off the official road. Shi Dayong ordered his servants to park the carriage on the side of the official road, and let the horse pull the carriage loose on the shaft, so that the horse could relax and rest for a while.

Sun Fang specially sent a servant to guard the carriage on the official road. In fact, there was no figure on the official road for a long time. The carriage did not need to be guarded at all. Moreover, the carriage had special marks. Within a radius of dozens of miles, the brave man dared to steal the carriage from the Shi Mansion.

The servant who was sent to guard the carriage was muttering and resentful. Others could enjoy the cool air by the forest, but they were exposed to the scorching sun. When did they offend Sun Fang?

The head of the servant Sun Fang had no intention of paying attention to the unlucky servant guard. He had been very anxious these two days. He didn't know if the undercover sent by Huluyan had arrived. He had agreed to join the team in the woods in front.

As planned, he should have connected the undercover agent to Shijia yesterday, but suddenly he was ordered to escort Shi Dayong to go to Pingdu City to do business. It takes at least one or two days to go from Shijiazhai Fort to Pingdu City. The agreed date for the connection will definitely be delayed. Therefore, Sun Fang has been anxious these two days and has been worried that things will not change.

Fortunately, he has come back now. Unfortunately, Shi Dayong is going to the shade of the tree to rest and enjoy the cool air. If there is no accident, the inner belle of the Huluyan should be hiding in this dense forest. Don’t be noticed by Master Shi and his servants. Sun Fang is worried about Hu Dadao and the others.
