291 After hearing this, Chen Jie stood up and said, "Xiao Hu, notify the brothers to prepare to set off."
"yes!"
Xiao Hu stood up and immediately said to Tang Ziyue, "Mr. Tang, come back and kill me again. I don't believe I can't beat you!"
Tang Ziyue said: "Haha, okay."
Immediately afterwards, Tang Ziyue and Nan Batian looked at each other, and Nan Batian nodded imperceptibly.
Qin Ying yelled at this time: "Chen Jiusi, don't go and embarrass yourself. If you mess up, don't say that we are from the White Tiger Hall."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie ignored Qin Ying and immediately led his men to Nan Batian and said, "Boss, let's set off."
Nan Batian said: "I wish you immediate success!"
Chen Jie clasped his fists, followed the group and quickly left the headquarters and went straight outside. When they got outside, they saw that tents had been set up and the brothers of the White Tiger Guard's A Battalion were all sitting on the ground, waiting for their leader.
As soon as Chen Jie came out, the group immediately stood up. Seeing the neat military appearance, Tang Ziyue couldn't help but frowned: "A division of tigers and wolves."
I don't know why he blurted out such words. After all, most of the disciples of the Fisherman's Gang don't know how to eat or sit properly. They look like thugs, and when they move out in large numbers, they look like Young and Dangerous.
But Chen Jie's White Tiger Guard seemed like a team of well-trained elite soldiers.
Seeing all this, Tang Ziyue looked at Chen Jie. This boy has big ambitions.
Chen Jie did not mount his horse immediately, but turned to Tang Ziyue and said, "Mr. Tang, how about my White Tiger Guard?"
Tang Ziyue said sincerely: "Elite division."
Chen Jie laughed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Tang. Come, you and I will go in front."
As he said that, Chen Jie led Tang Ziyue directly to the front of the team. At this time, Xiaohu who was at the back of the team was stunned, because just when they passed each other just now, Chen Jie said a few words to him, and he immediately reacted and took action without making any sound.
Fifty or sixty people marched through the streets, and after the army had crossed the streets, a few people appeared behind them.
The leader was actually Si Xi.
According to Chen Jie's regulations, if he did not return home for a long time, the logistics department would send someone to wait and investigate the situation.
At this time, Si Xi came to a corner. There was a piece of paper wrapped in a stone on the ground, with a line of Chinese pinyin written on it in scribbled handwriting.
Now Pinyin has become the encrypted text of Baihutang.
Only a few people at the top can understand it.
And there is no need to worry about information leaks because no one can understand it except the top management.
Si Xi took it and looked at it, silently spelling out the meaning, and then his eyes immediately widened.
The next moment, Si Xi said, "Quick, hurry back to the hall!"
Si Xi hurried back to Baihu Hall, and immediately went to his backyard to look for the carrier pigeon.
The carrier pigeons are specially raised by pigeon breeders in their logistics department, and each of these pigeons corresponds to an intelligence officer.
In fact, Chen Jie also had secret agents in the Cao Gang, and they were mixed in Liu Song's team, but they were peripheral members of Liu Song's guard team, just like Chen Jie's guards were the Twelve Tiger Guards. After half a year, Chen Jie's spy infiltrated at all costs and entered the White Tiger Guard and became a small soldier!
And this is already Chen Jie's most useful spy in the Cao Gang. If the situation is not urgent, Chen Jie must not be exposed.
Si Xi tied the top-secret information to the pigeon's legs and released it directly, hoping it would be in time.
Then he immediately asked people to prepare fast horses, and he went to the North City. The North City was the territory of the Cao Gang, and he needed to go to the Cao Gang to find Old Monster Liu.
This is Chen Jie's order. We must find Old Monster Liu and explain the interests involved.
But when he rushed to the Cao Gang, he was told that Old Monster Liu was not there. He went to the Ghost Hand Hall with several hall masters to drink in Gu Qingfeng's newly bought villa.
Si Xi was very anxious and asked quickly where this villa was.
After hearing this, the gatekeeper said, "I don't know."
Si Xi was extremely anxious and had no choice but to squat outside the Cao Gang and wait, hoping that Old Monster Liu would show up.
Meanwhile, Chen Jie and his entourage came to the city gate in a mighty procession. When the soldiers who opened the city gate saw that someone dared to approach the city gate in the middle of the night, they immediately became furious and shouted, "Stop!"
Chen Jie stopped the team and immediately asked Xiaohu to go up and negotiate.
Xiaohu rode forward on his horse. At this time, the gatekeeper looked over with a lantern in his hand and saw Xiaohu.
"Hey, Master Tiger, why are you here?"
Xiaohu glanced at him and said, "White Tiger Hall is doing business, open the door."
"Hey, Master, please wait a moment. I'll open the door. Open the door. Open the door quickly. You're blind. Can't you see that you are the masters of the White Tiger Hall?"
The runners at the yamen gate were divided into three groups: fast, strong and clean.
The fast squad refers to the constables, that is, Wu Hong and his group of people who catch thieves.
The Zhuangban refers to these gatekeepers.
Don't underestimate them, they are also know-it-alls in Mianshui County. They know who went out of the city today and who they met today.
Xiaohu threw a silver ingot over and the city gate opened soon.
Chen Jie, Tang Ziyue and their group left the city. It took more than an hour to get to Xiantao Village, so they quickly headed towards Xiantao Village.
How to get there is not mentioned yet...
The ferry crossing of Xiantao Village at this time.
The ferry is usually managed by the fishing gang, but since it is not a major cargo terminal, the gang is usually negligent in its management, and the people on duty at night are not very dedicated.
For example, the young man from the fishing gang who was on duty tonight was invited to drink by the people from the Cao Gang of Xiantao Village.
It is very rare for a disciple from the countryside who has no money to be invited to drink and eat some meat. After all, he cannot eat wine and meat on weekdays.
Someone is treating us to a drink today, who would want to look at this shabby pier?
So the dock was empty.
At this time, in the woods not far from the pier, Liu Song was sitting in front of a carriage, and the carriage was transporting ironware down to a small boat not far away. After a while, when the special envoy of Beitu Tewanhu arrived, the boat would sail away to complete the transaction.
Liu Song was sitting in the front of the car at this time, holding a bunch of grapes in his hand and eating them in small bites.
There were two people standing next to him. One of them had a black face. He was the captain of his guard, his cousin, who was personally selected by Old Monster Liu.
On the other side stood a white-faced guard named Zhao San, who was selected through connections within the gang.
They are all his confidants.
At this time, Liu Song was in a good mood. He didn't expect that the business of escorting ironware would fall on him. He had to thank his own intelligence. If he hadn't cleverly sold the garbage in the gang at a high price and helped the gang make a fortune, even if his father was Old Monster Liu, he would never have gotten the task of escorting ironware this time.
Once this mission is successful, I will have made a great contribution, and I will be better than the Chen Jiusi that my father always talked about.
Thinking of Liu Song eating grapes, he felt even happier, and imagined the scene of completing the task and receiving exaggerated happiness from his father.
At this time, there were trucks carrying pig iron in the forest.
These pig irons will be transported to the north and forged by blacksmiths to become top-quality weapons. They will be very useful for killing the Zoroastrian Red Turban Army.
At this time, Liu Song distributed the grapes to the black-faced man standing behind him and said, "Cousin, have a bunch of grapes."
"Old Zhao, you should have one too."
"Thank you, sir."
The two took the grapes and expressed their gratitude. Liu Song said, "Haha, why are you so polite? You are my left and right arms, and you will assist me in the future."
The two of them didn't say much after hearing this. Liu Song continued to fantasize: "After this mission is completed, I will ask my father to give us the Beishan Iron Mine. By then, we will have our own industry and be able to make our own career."
The dark-faced man said, "Master, the Beishan Iron Mine has always been managed by Hall Master Gu. If we take it directly, Hall Master Gu will probably be unhappy."
"No, Uncle Gu loves me the most. What do you think, Zhao San?"
After hearing this, Zhao San said, "Young Master, you are right. Young Master is the heir of the Cao Gang. It is only natural for him to shoulder some of the burdens earlier."
After hearing this, Liu Song laughed and said, "Well, that's right."
While Liu Song was imagining life with others, suddenly a pigeon fluttered down from the woods not far away.
At this time, a Cao Gang guard who was in charge of watching the Cao Gang workers transporting ironware was stunned. He immediately went into the woods and soon saw the carrier pigeon.
Passing message in the hall?
The man was stunned. What kind of message was being sent in the middle of the night?
Is there something urgent?
Thinking of this, the man took a step forward, grabbed the pigeon in his hand, then took out a bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg, opened it, and his face suddenly changed.
He turned his head and looked at Liu Song, who was sitting in a carriage eating grapes by the woods.
The man thought about it, then gripped the hilt of his knife, as if he had made a great decision.
Going out like this would be equivalent to exposing myself, and as a spy, my life and death would then depend entirely on the mercy of the enemy.
But now that the hall master has given the order, he has no choice but to make a decision.
Thinking of this, the man strode over directly. When he got close, Liu Song's guards noticed him. At this time, the black-faced man walked over directly: "Stop!"
After hearing this, the spy stopped and looked at the black-faced man.
The man asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to see the Master."
"See you, young master. Why would a peripheral guard like you see him? Why would he want to see you?"
After hearing this, the man said, "Let me introduce myself. My original name is Zhang, but I was fortunate enough to be given the surname Chen by the White Tiger Hall Master, and my name is Ba."
"Master of the White Tiger Hall? Chen Jiusi? Are you Chen Jiusi's man?"
After hearing this, the black-faced man widened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him who called himself Chen Ba in disbelief.
Chen Badao said, "That's right. I have been hiding in the Cao Gang for three months under the order of the hall master. Can I see you now?"
Canglang!
The black-faced man pulled out his knife and pointed at Chen Badao: "What on earth are you planning, kid? What do you want to do?"
Chen Ba looked at the long knife that was less than five centimeters away from his neck and said calmly, "Commander, if I didn't have something important, would I risk exposing myself to see you? Commander Hei, please forgive me. I can only talk to you."
The black commander frowned and looked at Chen Badao: "What do you mean?"
Chen Badao: "If we don't hurry up, we will run out of time. Please ask Commander Hei to tell the young master that I want to see him!"
After hearing this, Commander Hei didn't know what to do. After all, it was rare for someone to voluntarily reveal his identity.
