Chapter 131 A woman disguises herself as a man, the moon is dark and the wind is high

Horses neighed and dust filled the sky.

After the people from the county government stopped their horses, they jumped down one after another.

"Chu Tang, you caused trouble for my brother and me again!" The person in charge began to "accuse" Chu Tang from a distance.

Who else could it be if it wasn’t Fang Kai, the leader of Team A of Gui County’s yamen arrest team!

He strode up to Chu Tang and asked anxiously: "Where are we now? Are you going to go into the mountain to kill the thieves? Leave the rest to us. Hurry up!"

As soon as he finished saying this, Fang Kai saw the police officers next to Chu Tang looking at him strangely.

"What's going on?" Fang Kaimen was stunned for a moment, not knowing why.

Chu Tang smiled and looked at Fang Kai with interest without saying anything.

Zhou Zhou was sweating because of his bad taste in catching heads, and had to go to Fang Kai and said: "Team leader Fang, this... we have come down from the mountain. Then, the thieves are all over there, and they will be caught in one fell swoop. Take one!" As he said that, he pointed to Shi Junlong and others not far away.

"What?" Fang Kai was shocked. He turned around and saw, good guys, more than ten thieves were tied together in twos and lined up on the roadside like carrot heads.

"Took them all? So quickly?" Fang Kai was still shocked, his eyes bulging slightly as he looked at the thief and then at Chu Tang.

Chu Tang had no choice but to explain: "In order not to leak the news and let them escape, I can only make a quick decision and take people up the mountain for a while. It doesn't take much effort for a warrior from the four realms!"

Fang Kai was choked. He didn't understand the word Versailles, but he felt that he had been tricked.

After reacting, Fang Kai was inevitably more confused: "Chu Tang, what did you do? You took the county governor's daughter to the mountain to get someone? You are crazy! If something happens, can you bear this responsibility?"

"Listen to my sophistry...explanation!" Chu Tang slowly told what happened.

After listening to this, Fang Kai not only admired the boldness of Chu Tangyi, but also warned him seriously: "It's too risky! Don't do this again in the future. Your mission is to escort Miss Su to Qingcheng, not Kill the thief on the way."

Chu Tang responded repeatedly.

Fang Kai looked around again, extremely depressed, and said: "If I had known you were so fierce, I wouldn't have brought so many brothers here. Raising troops and mobilizing people will waste people and money!"

Chu Tang smiled bitterly, "Good guy, Fang Kai has brought all the men from Class A."

It looked like there were no fewer than twenty people.

There are more than twenty catchers, all of whom are good men; there are also more than twenty horses, which are very handsome.

The battle is huge, the lineup is very strong, and it can scare people very much.

Fang Kai noticed Chu Tang's surprised look and sighed: "As soon as Capt. Zhuo heard that your people were coming to report, for fear of threatening Miss Su's safety, he asked me to set off immediately, bringing with me all the cultivation levels of the Three Realms. I'm a police officer, but I'm afraid something will happen to you if I'm late and I'm too late. It's fine now, it's a waste of time, and at most it's just escorting the prisoners!"

Chu Tang consoled him and said: "These people dare to take advantage of the county government. They are so bold and their crimes are unforgivable. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are repeat offenders of the imperial court. Bringing them back is a great achievement! And they are also related to the Shi family... …You know!"

"You still have a conscience!" Fang Kai patted Chu Tang's shoulder hard, understanding that the other party was trying to share the credit.

Chu Tang laughed.

Fang Kai glanced at the Changfeng Escort Agency and others in the distance, took a step closer to Chu Tang, and asked quietly: "Will the people from this Escort Agency rely on you?"

"Did you see it?" Chu Tang was surprised.

Fang Kai glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? Do you think I'm stupid because I can't see something so clear? I went up the mountain with you to kill thieves, and I'm still not on the road now. Isn't this because I want to become one with you?" Are you getting along?"

Chu Tang nodded slightly and acquiesced.

Fang Kai asked again: "Have you figured out their details? They are escorts. They are eye-catching and coveted. Don't get into trouble! Miss Su's safety cannot be compromised!"

Chu Tang reiterated the request he had just made to Hu Yang, and then said: "Wait until I test it out before making a decision. My advantage is not so easy to take advantage of!"

Fang Kai smiled: "I agree with this! I can see that you, Chu Tang, are smarter than a monkey. It's harder than climbing to the sky to get an advantage from you! As Zhuo Captou said, this mission, the entire mission You are the most suitable person for the county government."

Chu Tang rolled his eyes. He had not forgotten what Sheriff Su said that it was Fang Kai who "recommended" him as an escort.

"Brother, do you want me to go with you to try it out?" Fang Kai asked.

Chu Tang shook his head and said: "No need. Just take the person back. After it's done, I will continue on the road."

Fang Kai thought for a while and said: "Okay! Don't delay too long. If you miss this half a day, you may not be able to reach the next big post before evening. Go two towns ahead and look for it in the town. Let’s stay somewhere for one night. I’d rather be late than take any chances.”

This is what he said with experience. Chu Tang nodded in approval, and that was what he planned to do.

As for whether the people from Changfeng Escort Bureau were on their way in a hurry, what did it have to do with him? !

After the exchange between the two, Fang Kai came to Miss Su's carriage, exchanged greetings for a while, and then asked everyone to hand over the "prisoner". Without any delay, he escorted the prisoner and returned.

Da da da!

With the sound of horse hooves, everyone watched them leave.

This handover was really neat and tidy, coming and going in a hurry.

After Fang Kai left, Hu Yang took the opportunity to walk towards Chu Tang and said with joy: "Master Chu, our distinguished guest is willing to meet you. Please move aside to talk to him."

Chu Tang nodded and followed Hu Yang to the camp of Changfeng Escort Bureau again.

Hu Yang did not ask him to meet the people in the carriage immediately. Instead, he told everyone to leave, and then he led the carriage to a big tree on the side of the road more than ten feet away from everyone's sight.

Chu Tang followed silently.

Under the shade of the trees, the light and shadow are mottled, and the sound of cicadas at noon is sometimes near and sometimes far away.

The two of them stood in silence for a long time.

After a long time, the black cloth curtain at the front of the carriage was opened by a hand, revealing two cautious faces.

The two of them jumped out of the carriage hand in hand.

"Huh?" Chu Tang was surprised, surprised by their age.

There were two people, one older and one younger. The older one was only twenty years old, and the younger one looked about seven or eight years old.

The younger one is a boy, chubby, fair and pink, like a porcelain doll. At first glance, he looks like the son of a wealthy family.

As for the big ones…

"Huh?" Chu Tang frowned slightly and looked at it carefully.

I saw that the other party was dressed in white silk satin, dressed as a scholar, and looked like a noble man. He was tall, with thin skin and tender flesh, bright eyes and white teeth. He looked... extremely handsome!

Yes, Chu Tang is willing to describe the other person as handsome, which is more lovable than him, an "ordinary" guy.

This look, this gesture, not to mention women, even men will be moved by it when they see it...

"No!" Chu Tang shook his head to get rid of inappropriate thoughts, and he also had more guesses, "A woman disguised as a man?"

Of course, he wasn't sure. After all, there were too many impostors in the world. Not to mention their appearance, some men even had extremely feminine voices and postures. It was impossible to distinguish between male and female.

"I'm Cheng Ming, I've met you sir!" The handsome scholar bowed his hands and saluted Chu Tang on the spot.

The voice sounded a little rough.

But Chu Tang sounded like the other party was being a little deliberate. Before he could speak, he heard the scholar pull the child to the front to teach him and said, "This is my brother Cheng Liang. Xiao Liang, come here and show your respects to the adults."

The child was a little scared, shrank back, his eyes flickered, and finally whispered: "Cheng...Cheng Liang has seen adults!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Tang glanced at the two of them thoughtfully and said, "Brother Mingliang, you got a good name, it's very loud!"

"Thank you, sir!" Cheng responded with obvious caution, glancing around from the corner of his eyes from time to time, looking very uncomfortable.

Chu Tang asked directly: "Looking at the extraordinary family backgrounds of the two of them, are they from prominent families in Meng County?"

Cheng Ming replied: "I am laughing at you. I am not from a famous family. My family only does business in Meng County. I can barely be considered a rich man."

Chu Tang asked again: "Why do you two need an escort to escort you to Qingcheng?"

"Sir, I am going to Qingcheng to visit my sister. She married into a family in Qingcheng and I haven't seen her for many years. My brother has no martial arts skills and was afraid that the road would be unsafe, so he paid for a few bodyguards. Escort." Cheng Ming answered accurately.

"Oh." Chu Tang responded, but didn't believe a single word!

But he didn't expose the other party either.

With his current skills and eyesight, he really didn't notice that the two of them knew martial arts, and there was no hint of internal strength at all.

Cheng Ming didn't mention it for the moment, but said that the younger brother Cheng Liang he called was a genuine child.

Chu Tang wanted to find out the identity of the other party because he was afraid that they would be detrimental to Su Qingyue.

It would be outrageous to say that children are brought along just to disguise themselves.

It was obvious that the other party was not here for Su Qingyue.

As long as this is excluded, he has no interest in knowing the origin of the other party, where he came from, where he is going, and what he plans to do!

The more you know, the more trouble you may have.

In that case, why should he meddle?

Thinking of this, Chu Tang turned around and told Hu Yang: "Boss Hu, Mr. Chu doesn't mind if you wait to accompany me. However, Mr. Chu made a scandal in front of me. Let me just say two things: first, don't get too close to me. Keep a certain distance and everyone will be safe; secondly, if you encounter any danger, our Yamen has no obligation to take action for you, Changfeng Escort Bureau, I hope you will bear this in mind."

Hu Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Master Chu, I have already remembered this, and I dare not trouble you all!"

Chu Tang nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hu, we are all equal. I don't stand up for you, and you don't have to stand up for me. I rely on your numbers to increase my reputation. You use my banner to intimidate others, it’s just a fair transaction.”

Hu Yang glanced at Chu Tang in surprise, thinking that this man was really living a clear life, but he said: "Your Excellency, you are so righteous! We can't thank you enough."

Cheng Ming was also there, so he quickly bowed and thanked you: "Thank you, sir, for letting us use your Yamen's banner as a deterrent. With your master here, Xiaoxiao can avoid it and don't dare to stroke your beard. I think the journey will be safe."

Chu Tang smiled and said, "I hope so."

With that said, he asked Hu Yang and others to pack up and prepare to set off.

Then, saying goodbye to the two of them, Chu Tang returned to the Yamen crowd.

Zhou Xiang immediately stepped forward and asked: "Board leader, have you found out everything? Who did they send?"

Chu Tang told the story of his meeting with the Cheng brothers, and finally said: "They must have concealed their identities, I'm afraid they are not as simple as ordinary rich kids. In addition, I feel that Cheng Ming is a woman disguised as a man."

"Girl's house?" Zhou Xiang called out unexpectedly, then winked and teased, "Board leader, this is going to give you a chance to be a hero and save the beauty!"

"Save your life!" Chu Tang cursed angrily, "I just hope that there will be no incident all the way to Qingcheng safely."

Zhou Xiang was speechless, who wouldn’t want to do this!

Chu Tang glanced at him and said, "Brother Zhou, I am telling you these things because I hope you can use your experience in the world to help take care of them."

Zhou Xiang asked uncertainly: "Is this care serious?"

"What do you think?" Chu Tang was unhappy.

"Don't worry, squad leader, I will keep an eye on them and prevent them from being evil!" Zhou Xiang immediately became serious and patted his chest to assure him.

Chu Tang nodded, explained a few more words, and then let Zhou Xiang leave.

After thinking about it, he felt that he should inform Su Qingyue, so he came to the carriage and told the story through Miss Xiaoyou's words.

Su Qingyue was noncommittal and did not refute Chu Tang's decision on the spot.

Chu Tang thought she had agreed meekly, and left with satisfaction, calling everyone to set off.

When the carriage drove slowly and walked a few steps, Su Qingyue said with an unhappy face: "This person is so rude! He only told me after the matter was finalized, and he didn't take me seriously at all! "

Xiaoyou said in surprise: "Miss, since you are dissatisfied, why didn't you accuse him just now?"

A trace of anger flashed across Su Qingyue's beautiful face, and she snorted coldly: "The ship is done, the rice is ready, so what's the use of talking about him! It's just making everyone unhappy! After all, we still have to count on him along the way. I'm annoyed. What should I do if he doesn’t work hard?"

Xiaoyou couldn't stop giggling: "It turns out that young ladies also bully the weak and fear the strong!"

"What! I am a man who knows the current affairs and is a hero." Su Qingyue said dissatisfied.

Xiaoyou nodded repeatedly and said: "It's Junjie! It's Junjie! Miss, wait a moment, I'll see what's going on outside." As she said that, she stuck her little head out of the window and looked left and right several times.

Then she retracted her head and said with a surprised look on her face: "Why did the people from the escort agency run to the front? They are fifty or sixty feet away! Didn't they say they wanted to follow us?"

Su Qingyue thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "Are you stupid? They are walking in front. If something happens to them, we will always run into them as we go forward. We can help if there is anything we need." If you stay behind, you have to worry that we won’t turn around and pay attention to them.”

Su Qingyue paused for a moment and then said: "Also, if you are walking in front and encounter someone who wants to rob the escort, those thieves will naturally be wary when they see the official escort following them, and generally they will not dare to take action. This It’s just a conspiracy, it’s just subduing the enemy without fighting!”

"Oh!" Xiaoyou scratched his head and looked at his young lady with admiration, "Young lady is still smart!"

"You're the one who's stupid!" Su Qingyue couldn't help but complain, and rubbed the long hair on Xiaoyou's head vigorously.

Xiaoyou escapes and gets entangled with the lady...

In this way, we kept on walking, and soon it was evening.

There was no time to rush to the next inn, so Chu Tang found a few B\u0026Bs in a small town on the first night and paid people to stay for one night so that everyone could settle down.

Changfeng Escort also followed their example and was not in a hurry. They also spent money to find two families next to them to invite them out and live as neighbors with Chu Tang and his party.

On the second day, everyone set off at the same time again.

Just walking and walking like this, it took two days to leave Guijun and enter the boundary of Hejun.

Between Guijun and Qingcheng, there are three counties, from south to northwest, namely Hejun, Jiangjun and Guijun.

The terrain of these three counties is higher than the last. Where there are no people gathering, there are high mountains and winding rivers. As far as the eye can see, it is full of desolation.

Only after entering the Qingcheng area will the road be smooth.

There is only one official road, and sometimes there is no human habitation for hundreds of miles.

Chu Tang and his party did not dare to miss the time, and strictly followed the route.

We left as soon as it was light and took a rest at the nearest inn before it got dark, waiting for the sun to rise the next day.

In this way, after walking for four or five days, after passing through He County, we walked less than half of Jiang County.

On this day, God suddenly lost his temper.

The heavy rain in early summer comes at any time in the afternoon.

The rain was pouring in heavy torrents, washing out the roads and blocking the way forward.

At this time, there were no villages around, and everyone could only hide under the big trees, hoping to wait for the rain to pass and the sky to clear up.

However, God kept crying for a long time. It rained all afternoon, making everyone wet. Even the people in the carriage were miserable.

After the rain stopped, it was already dark. The roads were muddy and it was difficult for cars and horses to move. It was really impossible to reach the next fireworks place.

Chu Tang had no choice but to order to camp on the spot and rest.

It was night, the moon was dark, and the wind was high.
