In the blink of an eye, it has been ten days since the camel team set off.
Zhuzi and Hong'er led a small camel team of eighty people and drove the camels to follow the big team.
Whether intentionally or not, their camel team was placed in the middle, with people in front and behind.
Zhuzi didn't even secretly open the bag, but he knew that they were transporting food and wooden barrels, which contained either wine or fresh water.
This camel caravan is very complex. Except for the Fan family’s own people, who account for half. There are three groups left. Zhu Zhu and Hong'er are considered to be on the same team. The three one-eyed dragon brothers are considered a group. The knife-faced old man is a group.
All three were recruited.
To outsiders, these three families look strange.
Three Cyclops brothers. They are all one-eyed dragons. And both are missing their left eye. This can't help but make people think. Their brothers all had sinister faces, and they looked like tyrannical men at first glance.
The old man with a knife-like face looked to be in his sixties. He was very sick and kept coughing. Sometimes when I take away the handkerchief covering my mouth, there are still specks of blood on it.
Zhuzi was so frightened that he quickly pulled Hong'er away. If this is consumption, it will be a trap.
Zhuzhu looks at others strangely. But what others think is the strangest is them. A handsome young man and an older girl. They said they were a couple, but the girl was clearly a young girl. And the people they have are also the toughest to look at.
This young couple, as harmless as rabbits, always smiles brightly when they see them. This makes the old guys on the camel trail feel very uneasy. This sight is even more frightening. There is no good reason for doing this.
The rules on the camel trail are not to inquire about the other party's details.
But Zhuzi soon discovered the clues. That is, seven members of the Fan family never interact with anyone, and no one orders them to do anything. They just pulled the camels and followed them on their way.
Coming out of Zhangjiakou and walking through the grasslands all the way to Shenyang, most of them were traveling within Yang Fan's sphere of influence. Zhuzi secretly mobilized the horse bandits along the way and made several small-scale attempts to raid the camel caravan.
Then people kept an eye on the reactions of these seven people.
As a result, every time there was an emergency, someone would approach these seven people seemingly unconsciously. Stayed for a while and left.
Zhu Zhu is already 70% sure that these seven people are the real leaders of this camel team.
Zhu Zhu had already begun to make these people disappear during a certain raid by horse bandits.
Otherwise, people like themselves will be in big trouble when they get to Shenyang.
At night, the camels formed a circle to block the cold wind. There was felt on the snow. Hong'er and Zhuzi snuggled together to keep warm. At the same time, he was also talking quietly.
"You tell me, why are you wading into this muddy water? Isn't it good to be a maid for the second lady? Follow the second lady to serve the master. Live your life well in the house. The food and clothing are so good. Why bother? You have to do it. This kind of business involves licking blood from the blade. Haven’t you had enough in Dongchang?”
Hong'er looked at the dead branches burning in the fire pit, her face illuminated red by the firelight. He whispered: "Master doesn't like me, why should I stay at home? Last time in the grassland, Master drank a bowl of deer blood. Madam called me, Xiaoyu, and the four girls from Sixiang. As a result The master glared at his wife and sent us all away."
Zhu Zhu sighed. To be honest, he really hoped that Xiao Hong could live a good life in the inner house. Although he was still a little moved by Hong'er. However, what happened last time made him very uncomfortable.
The people above are beaten today and will be fine again tomorrow. But what about the people below? It's so uncomfortable.
Originally, the master and the second lady were enemies, but who would have thought that they would become husband and wife in the blink of an eye. This made the following people who were fighting each other, life and death very uncomfortable.
"Brother Zhuzi, I shouldn't take advantage of you, nor should I lie to you. Are you still angry with me?" Hong'er lowered her head and whispered.
"I was quite angry at the time. I'm such a pig. You fooled me so easily over such a simple matter. I almost ruined the master's big event."
"Brother Zhuzi. The master and his wife said that when a person is in love, his IQ will drop to zero. Did you like me then?" In the dark night, Hong'er's big eyes were round and round like a pair of black grapes. He looked at the pillar and said.
Zhuzhu glared at her and snorted softly.
Hong'er hit him with her fist and said, "Stingy guy."
Zhuzi smiled bitterly and said: "We are all hard-working, struggling to survive in such a world. Many times, we just follow the crowd and can't help ourselves. There are not many opportunities for us to make our own decisions. Did you refuse at that time?" Thinking about it makes me not angry anymore. No one in this world is different."
"Actually, as long as you live a good life, I will be very happy." Zhu Zhu took out a cigarette from his arms and lit it with a lighter. Take two sharp breaths. Cigarettes are such a good thing, no wonder I give them to everyone. Especially good at relieving mood.
"Brother Zhuzi, you know, it wasn't the second lady who sent me here this time. It was the master who came to talk to me alone and asked me if I was willing to accept this task. This time, no one ordered me. I chose to come here myself. "
Zhuzi was a little surprised and turned to look at Hong'er.
What the master meant! Zhuzi felt that his brain was a little exhausted.
Zhuzi knew about the second wife's affairs. After she gave birth to a child, the best place for her to end up was to stay at home to raise her husband and raise her child. Gradually separated from the Military Intelligence Department.
The master asked Hong'er to go on a mission with him. What did the master mean?
He was personally trained by his master. Ordinarily, she shouldn't have anything to do with the second lady's direct maid. This is detrimental to diluting the influence of the Second Lady in the MI Office.
"Actually, I think you all think of the master too complicatedly. For more than a year, I have been by the master's side and felt his temperament, joys and sorrows up close. In fact, he is an ordinary person who cannot be ordinary. And There is no difference between you and me. As the saying goes, a marriage cannot be ruined. He may just feel that because of the fight between them big people, the fate of us little people has been irreparably changed. He feels that this is not good. So, give it to us Create an opportunity.”
Zhuzi was a little stunned, but after thinking about it, this reason seemed reasonable.
However, he is not Hong'er. Women always consider issues with intuition and emotion. He also discovered that the master has become more and more mature in the past two years. When he does things and hires people, he often goes out of his way to not handle things properly. Leave some tail. The purpose is to make it easier to intervene when necessary in the future.
To be honest, Hong was the first person who came into his heart when he was a child. He had a cold and indifferent temperament and never asked others for their welfare. Except for the little blushing girl next to me.
Zhuzi thought about it and laughed a little. Since when did he start planning this? If you still care about this girl and don't let go of her, then marry her. What's the big deal.
Zhuzhu suddenly smiled and said: "You know, the master and the second lady had a fierce fight at the beginning, but the second lady always had a good impression of the master. In fact, I could see it the first time I went to Tianxiang Tower to sell stoves. The first thing she asked me, I still remember, was, was it your master who asked you to come here?"
