XXXVI Hongbin Building
And the state, still and the state.
The war did not turn the city into ruins, or as other cities were, as they had been, hell on earth under the ravages of the conquerors.
From the first day of its establishment, Zhu Wu's Dingyuan Army emphasized discipline, and the generals in the army would not use innocent lives to provoke the fighting effectiveness of the soldiers and soldiers. The most important thing is that the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army have never had the bad habit of harming the people at all.
So, the current and the state are the same as before. It's noisy and lively, and the people are buzzing. Since the Dingyuan army needed a lot of copper and iron, sentinel stones, there were even more merchants coming and going than before.
In a small inn in the city, Zhang Tianyou and Guo Tianxu stood side by side in front of the window, looking out of the window and silent for a long time.
"Hezhou is much more lively than our Haozhou!" Zhang Tianyou sighed with some emotion, "In the past year, Haozhou has been eating the old foundation, and there was still some popularity, but now it is becoming more and more decaying." When this matter is over, persuade your father to bring a large army to Hezhou! ”
Guo Tianxu's brows were furrowed, and he no longer looked like he was domineering in the past, "Uncle, do you really want to release Zhu Xiaowu after the matter is completed?" ”
"Why ask what you know?" Zhang Tianyou sneered, "Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, let's go?" ”
Knock knock! There was a knock at the door, and then a man dressed as a red-scarf officer entered.
"Young master, uncle, it's all right." The man said, "The two tables in Hongbin Building at night are all old brothers from the time of the Left Army. ”
Hearing this, Guo Tianxu's frowning brows stretched out, and he said with a smile, "Wang Chun'er, do a good job, after the matter is completed, the master will reward you heavily!" ”
As mentioned above, when Zhu Wu founded the Left Army, Guo Dashuai sent several old soldiers to assist, among which there was an old army surnamed Wang who had two righteous sons, and stayed in the Left Army after becoming an army.
At the beginning, he was the captain of the 100-man logistics team, and as the left army became the Dingyuan army, he occupied Hezhou, the two brothers of the Wang family, Wang Chun, and Wang Sheng were already thousands of households in the thousand-person team.
Now it is Wang Chun who comes in to speak, and it is his younger brother Wang Sheng who is arranged in Hongbin Building, and the two of them are inconspicuous and diligent in the Dingyuan Army. No one could have imagined that they would be the nails planted by Guo Zixing at the beginning.
The dog that bites people doesn't bark, these two brothers are not only old brothers in the army, but also have good popularity, they do internal response, and it is estimated that none of the real power figures in the Dingyuan Army can escape.
The day passed quickly, and after the city gates were closed, Hezhou was a closed world.
The small doors and small households closed early to rest, and only some restaurants and fireworks were still lit. But there is only one place in the city that is as brightly lit as Hongbin Tower.
Wang Chun and Wang Sheng stood at the door, smiling and greeting guests. Dressed in new clothes, with joy on his face.
On the street corner, a group of generals of the Red Turban Army came talking and laughing.
The person in front of him, with a strong body and a loud voice, was really one of Zhu Wu's henchmen, Erhu.
Next to him, who is more than forty years old, looking at the appearance of the Han people is Zhu Wu's cavalry commander Li Sai, who was originally a veteran of Haozhou's gatekeepers, and later defected to Zhu Wu and was regarded as a confidant.
Behind are Zhu 13, 22, Zheng Yuchun and other backbones of the Dingyuan Army.
"You two boys are not authentic, the brothers are anxious, and they don't even have a warm bed, but you two are quietly married?"
Seeing the two brothers of the Wang family, the two tigers took the lead in laughing.
Wang Chun said with a smile, "The matchmaker introduced the girl from Zhangjiazhai!" ”
"Why did you two run into this good thing, step on shit!"
"Does the fifth brother know about this? You have to keep the fifth brother for this happy wine! ”
Everyone was gossiping, and there was a bustle in front of Hongbin Building.
"Today, please have fun with the brothers, of course you have to wait for the fifth brother to come back!" The brothers of the Wang family smiled and said, "Brothers, please." ”
Subsequently, in addition to the old men of the Dingyuan Army, the Feng brothers arrived, and the Liao brothers also arrived.
"Xi Laodao, Li Shanchang didn't come?"
After everyone entered, the Wang brothers muttered quietly.
"It's almost, except for the injured Guo family brothers, they are basically all here."
After muttering, the two of them changed into smiling faces and went in slowly. Before entering, he nodded to the guy at the counter.
……
"Five leaders, eight horses, six, six, six!"
"Two crabs, eight legs! Two pointed ends, such a big one! ”
On the second floor of the Hongbin Building, in a huge private room, guests are seated at two tables. The table is full of good wine and food, in addition to Dingyuan's military salary, Zhu Wu will give his henchmen's brothers private salaries every month, which is enough for these brothers to eat, drink and have fun.
They were all rough people, and it didn't take long for them to be big, and the two wine tables on the second floor began to shout in a miasma.
Feng Guoyong and other people who later defected to Zhu Wu were better, and Erhu took those brothers who followed Zhu Wu in Haozhou, laughing and scolding no big or small.
Of course, this is only among them, and if they are unfamiliar outsiders, they don't bother to speak.
"Brothers, I'll mention one!"
Erhu drank a little and stood up with a wine glass, "Today is a good day for the brothers of the Wang family, and they are married!" The old brother has a nest, I'm happy, let's take one! ”
"Let's go!" Everyone was coaxing, and the Wang brothers laughed and clinked glasses with everyone.
"The brethren are open to drink, and it is rare to be happy today!" The Wang brothers said with a smile.
"Hey, Lao Wang, why didn't you see the Yue family show up when you were married?" Someone was born and asked, "The bride and we can't see each other now, so the eldest brother should be there!" ”
The Wang brothers glanced at each other, smiled unnaturally, and then pushed to the door.
"Uncle Zhang, you always show up!"
"Your uncle is here, don't you invite ...... early"
Before the words of the crowd were finished, they heard a dense footstep on the stairs. Teng Teng, the drum beat is average.
Everyone is a veteran of the battle, and they subconsciously touched the weapon, but they touched the void. Before going upstairs, everyone left their weapons downstairs.
Immediately after, several doors in the private room were pushed open. A team of fierce black-clothed men broke through the door, their weapons in their hands were shining, and the few people at the front were holding a few crossbows flat.
"Brother Wang! What for? ”
In an uproar, Erhu directly overturned the banquet, protected the round table in front of the brothers, and roared with red eyes.
"Erhu, don't be impatient!"
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the stairs, and then an old man and a young man came complacently.
"Zhang Tianyu!"
"Guo Tianxu!"
Everyone in the room was in an uproar, and they were still a little confused and immediately woke up, and they were already thinking about how to resist and call people when they reacted quickly!
No matter how stupid people are, they understand that these two people are not welcome to Hezhou, and now that the fifth brother is not here, everyone is trapped by their design, and what the other party wants to do is already ready to come out.
Guo Tianxu looked at the people in the house who were either flustered, gritted their teeth, or at a loss, and a little happiness flashed in his heart.
It's boring for the cat to scratch the mouse and kill it all at once, it falls into the hands of grandpa, if you don't concoct it well, how can you solve the evil anger in your heart.
"Everyone!"
Zhang Tianyou's face was full of kindness, and he didn't look like he was going to kill at all. Looking around, on the side of the two tigers, the backbone of the Dingyuan army was all crowded together.
The guests at the other table should have defected to Zhu Wu, and they may have been stupid at the moment, and several people sat in a daze, without any reaction.
"Zhu Wu is ungrateful, intending to murder the marshal, and has been sentenced. Zhang and Gongzi, who were ordered by the commander to take charge of the military power of Hezhou, and those who know the times are handsome, obedient and obedient, and the marshal has his own reward.
It is said that it is stubborn and stubborn, and it is not to mention killing! ”
"Huh? Fifth brother is dead? ”
"Da Shuai killed the fifth brother?"
In a panic, Erhu stood on the round table and roared angrily, "Brothers, don't listen to his nonsense, kill the people who go out and call us." ”
"Mantis arm block the car!"
Guo Tianxu snorted coldly, "Do it!" ”
A few crossbows were immediately aimed at the two tigers, and their fingers were already on the trigger.
"Wait!"
………
Originally scheduled to hit the shelves on August 1, it has now been postponed to August 7.
Because there was a recommendation from a giant bull this week, the leader said that I posted a little fast, so I could only lick my face and wronged everyone.
Thanks to everyone's support, after I put it on the shelves, I will break out, and I won't break out of the chicken.
