But when I saw Su Qing walking around the streets, choosing places where there were many people, she was not afraid of being recognized by others.
He knew that he had long ago abandoned his usual Tsing Yi, and now he was dressed in a slightly rough and arrogant Hu style. Those who had only heard the legend but had never been "visited" by the thief Su Qing would only think that The slovenly man in front of me with a delicate mustache is a passing visitor.
Su Qing likes to go to restaurants and taverns to look for flowers and willows. In the past, he did this because he was a romantic and could not bear to be lonely. Now, he knows that he has a family, and he can even be said to be raising a family. He has long lost the prodigal nature of the past.
He still often patronizes madams and pimps, and summons several women who are good at singing and dancing to come to him, just because he knows very well that these prostitutes know many local anecdotes, and their purposes are simple and ordinary. They don't harbor any evil intentions, and with just a few silver ingots, they can reveal all the dirty things that the young master or young lady of that family has done.
It just so happened that Su Qing had no shortage of silver ingots.
In less than half a day, Su Qing returned happily from the land of fireworks. Not only did he bring back some new news, but he also bought a whole carriage full of wine, meat and delicacies. Later, he went to Bai Feng and others and said politely: "Tomorrow we will dress up as cooks delivering wine and meat, and carry a cart of wine and meat into the military camp!"
"The news I just heard is that after the review of the new recruits in the Western Front military camp, there will be a big banquet to welcome Tong Erniang. Many restaurants and shops have sent a lot of gifts these days. As friends of General Tong, we have to Give me a meeting gift?"
Both Bai Feng and Murong Yan were amazed by Su Qing's sudden idea. They discussed it for a while and quickly accepted the plan. Everyone knew in their hearts that it was safer to have a reason to cover up than to walk into the military camp swaggering.
At midnight on the next day, they put on disguises and dressed up like store clerks, wearing cloth clothes and tying their hair with cloth strips. They drove their carriages slowly out of Woye Town and headed for the Western Front Camp.
The camp was stationed on an open sandy land, and only a few hundred feet away from the camp could you see the green grass surrounding it. It was probably because they were afraid of the enemy's fire attack that the grass there was shoveled away.
There are no fences in the military camps on the grassland, and roads extend in all directions. Only the outer campsites are protected by horseback. In the nearly three hundred military camps in front of them, there were dozens of wooden spurs that were several feet wide. Each of the four entrances, east, west, south, and north was guarded by a team of three people.
Such a garrison strategy not only facilitates advance and retreat, but also minimizes the consumption of garrison expenses.
Bai Feng and Su Qing were sitting at the front of the car. The former was silently holding the whip and driving the horse, while the latter was constantly saying hello to the passers-by, chatting casually: asking about the road conditions, the other party's goods and gifts, and talking about pulling a truck. How much can I earn from a freight trip? Do I have to pay tolls? I rambled here and there without feeling unfamiliar at all.
After a while, they came to a pass. Su Qing did his duty and immediately walked over to negotiate.
"Several military lords would like to express their gratitude to you. Take this money and use it to buy wine!" Su Qing smiled and handed over a few taels of silver. Unexpectedly, the other party refused to accept it outright.
"What are you doing? I don't know what is on your carriage, why are you so anxious?" The military master moved his shoulders, called two colleagues behind him to come over, and scolded: "Routine inspection, get out of the way!"
Seeing that the bribe failed, Su Qing quickly waved to Bai Feng and asked him to bring the people in the car down.
When Bai Feng saw this, he naturally asked the two women in the car to hide the tools for kidnapping people. He also took the tools with him, such as hemp rope, night clothes, etc., and hid them in his clothes in advance, hoping that these people who abide by military regulations would Soldiers do not randomly search women's bodies.
Su Qing resisted for a while, and when he saw the women on the other side getting out of the car, he greeted the military masters respectfully.
One military officer said: "Four people, so many? No, only one person can enter the barracks, everyone else should stay here!"
"Enter alone?" The four visitors stared at each other, as if they had never thought that there was such a rule.
Su Qing saw that the military masters were still reasonable and talked about right and wrong, so he walked up to them and said a few words: "Masters, these are my guys. Without them, I wouldn't be able to move so much goods by myself! "
Zichai agreed one after another and said, "Yes, we have prepared some good wine and meat to reward you!"
"Go, go! No matter how much you say good things, only one person can enter. This is the rule. Besides, do you think we are all lazy people? When we get to the military camp, there will naturally be someone to move it for you!" After hearing this, Zi Chai was moved by a few people. The soldier's rough temper scared him and he hid behind Murong Yan.
After talking for a while, the other two fellow soldiers had already got off the carriage. They did a brief inspection and found nothing unusual. Returning to the checkpoint, the leading soldier asked aggressively: "Let's discuss it carefully! Only one person can be allowed in. Don't worry, we won't hurt your buddy."
After hearing this, Su Qing could only nod silently, turned around and returned to the carriage to discuss with the other three people: "Brother Bai, do this alone... I think it's better to talk about it another day?"
"Why don't you just let me go alone." Bai Feng's heart stopped and he said firmly: "It's not like I haven't been to a military camp before. It's probably pretty much the same inside, right?" After saying that, he showed a sad smile.
When Murong Yan saw Bai Feng being so arrogant, she couldn't help but recall that the last time she left the military camp, she was whipped by the female general He Ba Yu'er of Wuchuan Town until her whole body was covered with injuries and she was almost on the verge of death. She suddenly felt angry and wanted to cry, and turned her head away. He went to the side and cursed in a low voice: "You are just a fool."
Murong Yan originally thought that she said these angry words quietly enough, but Bai Feng still noticed this small movement. The young man wanted to go over and comfort her, and said, "Yan'er, now is not the time to lose your temper. You go first in the carriage and take off your night clothes..." Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched the other person's arm, he felt a strong push. opened.
"Don't come here, you fool who will only get you killed!" As soon as she finished speaking, the slightly inappropriate hairpin on Murong Yan's head slipped from between her buns, and her beautiful long hair once again fell down her shoulders in public. Then he cursed secretly: "What kind of hairpin is this? Do you really dislike my hair so much?"
There was a soldier next to the checkpoint who was attracted by this sentence. He took a closer look and suddenly felt a bolt from the blue. He invited his two colleagues next to him to take a look.
Murong Yan picked up the hairpin on the ground and patted the dust on the gem. She felt that the hairpin was really cute and valuable. Just as she was about to turn her head around, the soldier on the opposite side came over and said, "Excuse me, this girl, is she flawless?" Madam’s friend?”
"Uh?" Murong Yan replied half-heartedly: "What's wrong?"
"You... go in quickly!" During the conversation, the military master asked his two colleagues to open the checkpoint. At the same time, he was also observing the surrounding situation to ensure that there were not too many people waiting, and then urged: "Hurry up and get in the carriage. , leaving only one person outside!"
At this point, the four visitors suddenly realized that the guards guarding the door today were all replaced by Tong Yao's cronies. However, they did not expect that Bai Feng and the others were actually disguised as cargo delivery boys.
After a while, Murong Yan, Zichai, and Su Qing returned to the carriage one after another. Only Bai Feng sat outside with the carriage. There was a leading soldier in front of them, who was responsible for taking them to the granary for unloading.
