少年人此去肯定是九死一生。拖到最后，张金称如果现自己上当受骗，也许会把他的心肝挖出来当众下酒。所以其最后的要求有些让人为难，林县令依旧决定接受下来。“程兵曹大可放心。你若出使成功，本县定然在郡守大人那里保举你担任县丞一职。如果张贼胆敢起了恶心，本县一定想方设法替你雪恨。至于你家中的老娘，本县决不亏待了她，只要本县活着，你的俸禄便不会中断！”
说罢，他摆出一副慈祥的笑脸面对程小九，希望能在对方眼中看到曾经的佩服与感动。但他很快便失望了，此刻程小九的眼里只有浓烈的悲哀。那悲哀如火，让林县令看了一眼便不敢再去注视。他心中有一种冲动想要收回前面的安排，站起身来号令大伙血战到底。勇气在嘴边滚了几次，终于还是消散了开去。“待会儿本县先命人支二十吊钱送到你家，算作预付你半年的薪俸。你还有别的要求么？本县尽量帮你办!”
“如果没有确切消息，请县令大人不要将程某的事情通知给俺娘亲！”程小九突然又抬起头，以一种命令般的语调说道。“如果贼营突然出现了混乱，请大人抓紧机会。无论是战是走，都不要再犹豫！”
“你要干什么？”林县令被程小九脸上凶狠的表情吓了一跳，颤抖着声音追问。他突然想起来了，眼前这个看似软弱的少年心志其实坚硬如钢，昨天半夜，就是他明知必死也持刀挡在自己面前！如果他试图去行刺张金称，万一失败的话……
“大人尽管放心！”程小九的话继续传来，带着几分从容不迫。“只要和谈有一线希望，程某便不会采用非常手段。程某还想活着返回来继续在大人帐下效劳呢，绝不会拿自己的性命做赌注！”
心思被人一下子瞧穿，林县令脸上不觉有些讪讪的。尴尬地笑了几声，头承诺道：“本县期盼着你能平安归来。本县在边塞上还有些人脉,前几天已经把信出去了，估计很快……”
接下来的话，程小九左耳朵听进，右耳朵紧跟着就冒了出去。他没有心思再跟任何人虚与委蛇，他需要充足的时间来恢复体力。城墙外有一个未知的凶险在等着他，只有养足了精神，他才有希望活着回来。到那时他将不再于龌龊的衙门里边打滚。林县今天答应的那二十吊买命钱足够他娶了杏花过门，最近的积蓄和杀敌的奖赏也可以拿出来，在闹市区租一间小小的铺面……
逍遥楼今天根本没有营业，伙计们铁棍闩了门，躲在门板后听街上的动静。得知昨夜带领大伙杀贼的程兵曹下午要亲探虎，几个大厨立刻命人升了火，用尽全身解数整治出一桌上等好菜，趁热送了过来。几个轮换下城休息的队正也听说了县令大人的安排，义愤填膺地跑到了程小九身边，要求与他一同前往。对于大伙的美意，程小九都笑着婉拒了。安安静静地吃了一顿饱饭，然后又安安静静地将市署同僚从商铺中强征来的绸袍缎冠换好，腰上别了一把横刀，拱手跟大伙告辞。
到了此时，即便一直将少年人看作眼中钉的贾、郭两位捕头，心中也涌起了几分佩服之意。带着众徒子徒孙，跟在林县令背后将他送到了栅栏边上。众乡勇默默将栅栏抽去一条，为兵曹大人开出一个小门，然后又默默站成了两排，看着昨夜与大伙同生共死的少年走向那条绝路。
“兵曹大人！”旅率蒋百龄受不了这种压抑的气氛，哽咽着拦在了程小九面前。“大人且慢行！如果张金称狗贼趁机攻城，谁来带领大伙抵抗？”
“对，兵曹大人不能去！县令大人，不能让兵曹大人去送死！”一向老实巴交的众乡勇们看到有人带头，立刻围拢了上前。“如果张金称狗贼不讲道理，大伙怎么办？谁有兵曹大人会打仗？”
林县令被问得额头见汗，支吾着给不出答案。大伙的担忧他也曾经想过，但如果没人去敌营挡一挡张金称，馆陶城恐怕破得更快。况且两位捕头都相信张金称有信誉……其言而有信的名声，似乎比自己这位县令还要好！
正尴尬间，林县令忽然听见程小九说道：“此事我已经跟县尊大人商量过，早有相应对策。蒋百龄，你昨夜表现最为出色，最适合接替我来指挥调度弟兄们。大伙别拦了，我去敌营探探他们的虚实，说不定转眼便能回转。届时咱们再一起守城，拿贼人的脑袋跟县令大人换钱花！”
“对，对，程兵曹已经向我举荐过蒋旅率。他昨夜的作为，大伙都有目共睹！”林县令感激地看了程小九一眼，一连声地向众乡勇解释道。蒋百龄是蒋烨的侄儿，他来代替程小九指挥众乡勇，应该不会再引起两位捕头的猜忌。至于赏钱，那是早就答应好了，什么时候兑现都一样。
“大伙送走了程兵曹，就可以到刘主事那里领赏钱。当天兑现当天的，绝不拖欠！”怕时间拖久了麻烦更多，董主簿接过林县令的话头，大声宣布。
乡勇们先是一愣，转瞬便出了齐声的欢呼。昨夜和今早两场血战，数以百计的敌人倒在了栅栏外。如果林县尊肯兑现先前的承诺的话，活着的众乡勇每人都了一笔小财。在大伙兴高采烈的欢呼中，程小九笑着侧转身体，沿着刚刚拓宽出来的栅栏缝隙挤到了残墙边缘。他又留恋地看了看身后那一片茅草屋，笑了笑，纵身跳了下去。
已经足够了，一跃之后，他便永远不再是驴屎胡同的半大小子程小九。他是程名振，敢效仿古人提一匕入不测之地的程名振。可惜这里不是易水，没有人击缶，也没有人为自己拍剑而歌。
“小九哥，等我一步！”背后突然听到了一声熟悉的叫喊，猛然回头，程名振看见王二毛愣头愣脑地坐在残墙下。上沾满了漆黑的血迹，脸上却带着坦诚的笑容。
“我跟你一起去！”王二毛拍了拍手上的泥土，笑嘻嘻地说道。
