Just when Zhao Dangshi thought he was out of danger, Gao Jie suddenly said again: "There is an old acquaintance brother who also works before the old man returns to the account, but he hasn't seen him for a long time, I don't know if the brother knows it?" He casually reported the man's name.

Zhao Dangshi was stunned for a moment, and then saw Gao Jie's compulsive gaze, and said in his heart: "Little brother is lonely and unheard, and this old acquaintance of Big Brother Gao has never heard of it." After many dangers, Zhao Dangshi has been able to control the expression on his face, so Rao is heart is heart is beating suddenly, and outsiders can't see any clues.

Not only him, but among the subordinates behind Zhao Dangshi, those who knew a little bit about things were extremely nervous. This Gao Jie is very kind, but secretly he is hiding the knife step by step, and he has lied before, if he can't continue to make it up, everyone may have to eat hob noodles this time.

Zhao Dangshi is not a person who is addicted to gambling, but he sometimes has to gamble. He really didn't know about the person Gao Jie said, and it was better to tell the truth than to risk being interrogated and say that he knew.

The atmosphere in the tent condensed for a while, and after a while, Gao Jie first laughed: "Also, my old acquaintance is only a small squad leader back in the camp, with a low status, and Brother Zhao's identity as a sentry, how can the two get together?" It's rude haha, don't be surprised. ”

When Zhao Dangshi heard this, he was relieved, and barely squeezed out a smile and politely said a few words. Hou Dagui and the others also secretly took back the hand that had been placed on the handle of the knife.

Gao Jie is currently in charge of military quarters in Li Zicheng's army, and most of the generals in the battalion have followed Li Zicheng to fight, and he is the only one who can call the shots, and he is the first to entertain Zhao Dangshi and others as the battalion representative. The soldiers behind him hummed and carried up a number of wooden barrels and vats, which were full of noodles, steamed buns, and pork and beef.

When they were in southern Shaanxi, everyone fled from place to place, nothing more than eating some dried meat and rice, only to satisfy their stomachs, and there was nothing to say about the taste. This time, when he saw these foods, his eyes lit up, and he salivated.

Everyone is from a reckless background, and they don't know what etiquette is reserved, and a few eager people don't wait for the dishes and chopsticks to come up, and directly scoop up the big meat from the tank with their hands and feast it. Gao Jie also sat on the side to eat with him, and asked Zhao Dangshi about the content of the code words halfway, but Zhao Dangshi only said that he could only speak of meeting Li Zicheng in person, and he was vague, so he did not continue to ask.

Halfway through the meal, a slender figure walked in from outside the tent, and judging by his appearance, it was actually a woman. Looking at the soldiers on the left and right, seeing that the woman bowed her head and saluted, very respectful, Zhao Dangshi was at a loss, Gao Jie got up and said, "Why are you here, you didn't see me entertaining guests." ”

The woman did not care, and did not care that there were others in the account, and said directly: "You have taken away so much pigs and cattle from the back camp, and you have not repaid the account with me, and you still speak like this, is it really a woman to be deceived?" "The tone is very proud.

Gao Jie looked around in embarrassment, gave Zhao Dangshi an apologetic expression, pulled the woman over, and whispered. The woman listened, looking at Zhao Dangshi and the others from time to time, and her expression gradually eased. In the end, the woman shook off Gao Jie, and the big lama walked in front of Zhao Dangshi and hugged his fists and said, "I don't know if the little brother is from the camp, the concubine is rude, please bear with me." ”

She was wearing a placket and armor, but her tone and movements were almost the same as that of her husband, and she was even more gorgeous, giving people a sense of heroism.

Even Gao Jie was submissive to her, no matter what the identity of this person was, Zhao Dangshi didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly returned the salute, and praised by the way: "The camp is really worthy of its reputation, the man is brave and fierce, and even the female dependents are also a woman's momentum, Zhao is really eye-opening and worthy of this trip!" ”

When the woman heard this, she laughed out loud without covering her mouth: "The little brother speaks in a literary manner, not like a fighting man, but like a big cuo who drops his schoolbag all day long in the village, is it possible that everyone who returns to the camp is so neat and tidy?" The woman is also an eye-opener today! ”

Gao Jie coughed lightly twice, inserted between the two and introduced: "This is the wife of the general, and now the head of the rear camp is reporting and disbursing. When I heard that Brother Zhao was coming, I was in a hurry, and I really forgot to tell my wife. ”

He lowered his head and apologized again in front of everyone's urns, but the woman didn't say anything, but looked at him with disgust, and there was some ambiguity between her eyebrows.

However, in the midst of lightning, the woman resumed her bold and straightforward demeanor, and said, "The concubine's maiden name is Xing, and she also does some small errands in the camp. I heard that the little brother came here this time to find the plate? ”

It seems that Gao Jie told her everything. Zhao Dangshi was secretly surprised, I don't know what powerful means this Mrs. Xing has, she can pack up Gao Jie, a fierce general who is on an equal footing with Li Zicheng, so obediently. Looking at Hou Dagui and the others behind him, they were all stunned - these hungry ghosts had already flowed all over the place before they could talk to this Mrs. Xing.

Gao Jie didn't hide it from her, and Zhao Dangshi also told her about Ma Shouying's appointment with Gao Yingxiang and others, Mrs. Xing didn't react much, only said lightly: "The person in charge of the plate has just sent someone to send a message over, and he will return to the camp to eat, and he will come soon." Wait, little brother. ”

After finishing speaking, Piao Piao walked out of the tent and glanced at Gao Jie. Gao Jie gave a few more instructions to the soldiers who were waiting, and then quickly left.

Hou Dagui and the other bachelors didn't finish eating, but after seeing the graceful Mrs. Xing, they were tasteless and uneasy. It's no wonder that during this period of time, there are many murderous opportunities, and everyone still has the energy to think about women's affairs when they are in danger, but at this time, when they are a little settled, everyone remembers that they haven't touched a woman for three or two months, and Mrs. Xing's color is provoked, how can they not think nonsense.

Seven emotions and six desires, human nature. Zhao Dangshi himself was still dry in front of Mrs. Xing, how could he order a group of men under his command to put away the pickled look.

One yard to one yard, the sudden appearance of Mrs. Xing certainly made everyone's eyes shine, but Zhao Dangshi cared more about Gao Jie's attitude, to be precise, the relationship between him and Mrs. Xing.

Full of suspicion, he pulled Hou Dagui over and asked, "You have been in the eighth team, do you know this Gao Jie?" ”

Hou Dagui's mouth was stuffed with food, and it was easy to swallow it, and he said in a low voice: "A hundred households are a hundred households, and you can see the clues when you first arrive." He wiped his oily mouth with his hand, and continued, "Although the villain is not a character who can be on the stage in the eighth team, he can also smell some rumors...... Speaking of this, he glanced at the soldiers of the eighth team who were waiting not far away, and only said after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, "It is rumored that Li Chuang will be a heavenly eunuch, and his crotch is weak, and his wife committed adultery with others before he turned back in his early years. This Mrs. Xing is the second term. It was given to him by King Chuang from outside Lintao City...... Hehe, but it's inevitable to steal from the man......"

Zhao Dangshi was surprised and said: "You said high...... Have a leg with Mrs. Xing? ”

Hou Dagui shook his head indifferently: "It's not that it's small, it's that it's spread like this in the camp." What do you think, the surname Gao has outstanding appearance, and he is brave and good at fighting, which woman doesn't like when she sees it? Hundred, you have never seen Li Chuangjiang, that look, not to mention higher than the surname, even ...... Even Xu Hui can't compare. He wanted to say, "It's not as good as me", but he was a little cheeky, and he didn't dare to say Zhao Dangshi, so he chose Xu Hui, who was a little ahead in the team, to talk about things.

Zhao Dangshi still didn't believe it: "According to what you said, then Chuang Jiang must also know about this, and he is a hero." How can you be so cowardly, allowing your wife to be laughed at behind people's backs? ”

Hou Dagui pouted: "It's not clear about this matter." However, this surnamed Gao has a very high status in the camp, and General Li Chuang didn't catch the rape in bed, so he can't just beat people to death with a stick, right? ”

According to the remaining memories of his previous life, Zhao Dangshi knew that Gao Jie would join the official army in the future, but as for why he was like this, the details were not clear. But looking at today's situation, it may have a lot to do with this Mrs. Xing.

"Bad face......" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Hou Dagui didn't hear what he said clearly, but fell into his own imagination and muttered to himself: "If you can sleep with a slut like Mrs. Xing for one night, even if you castrate Lao Tzu, it's worth it." He shook his head as he spoke.

"That's not possible, you want Lao Tzu to have a eunuch as the captain?" Zhao Dangshi said coldly, and the two looked at each other and laughed, which made others think that they were confused.

The crowd swept away the food in the buckets and jars, and the waiting group of eight soldiers carried the empty utensils down. After lying lazily for a while, a letter came, and the general had returned to the camp, and he urgently invited Zhao Dangshi to meet.

Zhao Dangshi left Hou Dagui and others behind, and left the camp alone. Looking up at the sky, it was already twilight, and all the tents in the camp had been buried in pots for a long time, and many soldiers were putting out the fire. When passing through the camp of the old eighth team, a large number of soldiers had just returned, and they were taking off their armor and helmets, and when they saw such a fresh face as Zhao Dangshi, many of them cast provocative glances without fear. The ferocity overflowed the face.

Li Zicheng came to the camp because he was surrounded by a group of brothers who had returned from the battle. Seeing his true face, Zhao Dangshi knew that Hou Dagui's house was not a mouthful. The "general" in front of him is not at all as tall and majestic as described in later novels, on the contrary, he is thin, dark, and not very tall, so it can be said that his appearance is not amazing. In contrast, the Gao Jie I met earlier is more in line with the image of Li Zicheng and Gao Weizheng in Zhao Dangshi's heart.

Li Ziyuan, who was still wearing a dirty armor bundle, was talking and laughing loudly with a group of brothers, and when he saw someone coming in, he left everyone behind and walked over and said, "Your Excellency is the brother who has returned to the camp?" As soon as he raised his eyes, Zhao Dangshi felt a difference. Those eyes were different from the usual cloudy and godless rogue, but they were unusually clear and sharp.

"In the world of Xia Zhao, on the orders of the old man Huihui, he brought the agreed code to the general!"

Without waiting for Li Zicheng to answer, a man suddenly interjected from the hypotenuse and said in a rough voice: "Haha, are you an old Huihui?" Lao Tzu heard that the guy was beaten by the officials and soldiers, and he could only retreat in the area of Zhongnan Mountain, and now he called you here, he must have wanted to move the rescue soldiers, yes or no? ”

Zhao Dangshi looked at the man, with big shoulders and a round waist, a mustache, and a thick beard under his chin, which was very rough, so he asked, "I haven't asked for advice yet......

The man waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "I only ask if you are." ”

Zhao Dangshiyuan and Li Zicheng had a good chat, but this man suddenly interjected and didn't say anything, and he didn't ask questions unrelentingly, not taking Zhao Dangshi in his eyes, but also treating Li Zicheng as if he didn't exist. Zhao Dangshi was shocked and peeked at Li Zicheng, but saw that he looked helpless and had no intention of stopping him.

"It's not." Zhao Dangshi said decisively. When he first arrived, he never wanted to be looked down upon by others, "This general, I don't know your name, but listening to what you say, it doesn't seem to be a great person." ”

"What?" The man's color changed suddenly, and he instantly turned from triumphant to annoyed.

Li Zicheng looked at Zhao Dangshi meaningfully, and stopped talking.

The man took two steps forward, bullied Zhao Dangshi in front of him, and pointed at him with a halberd: "You are looking for death!" ”

Zhao Dangshi was not afraid, and said with a straight face: "The officials and troops of Shaanxi are waiting for each other, and we and other battalions are all in the same breath, if we don't work together to meet the enemy, just by breaking into the camp, the general thinks that he can really break Xi'an and Tongguan?" ”

The man said disdainfully: "Lao Tzu just killed the officials and soldiers and came back, what's so terrible?" ”

Zhao Dangshi sneered twice and said: "Since the general is so heroic, how can the general not be heroic in the Battle of Fengyang?" ”

The so-called Battle of Fengyang happened a few months ago. At that time, the soldiers and horses of each battalion were surrounded by the officers and soldiers in a corner of Henan, and they were in a hurry, but fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong led the army to attack Fengyang, the capital of China, and disrupted the deployment of the officers and troops, so that the soldiers and horses of the battalions were able to escape from the encirclement network. This dangerous move of thousands of miles of rushing cannot be done by those who are not wise and brave, and Zhang Xianzhong is also shocked by this incident. Although Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng were also involved in this matter, they basically followed behind to pick up the bargain, and only came after the city was broken.

When the man heard this, he was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he shout: "That's Lao Tzu didn't have a chance!" ”

Zhao Dangshi continued: "Then what did the general do during the Battle of Xi'an? ”

This sentence directly poked at the weakness of the man, he didn't say anything more, his face was blue and purple for a while, and he stood there stupidly.

Li Zicheng was also very sensitive to the words "Battle of Xi'an", and when he saw that the arrogance of the Han was suppressed, he said in a round game: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and our battalions are in the same vein." Earlier, before entering Shaanxi, Lao Huihui and King Chuang had agreed on a secret word, saying that they would work together to achieve justice, and now is the time. ”

Zhao Dangshi left Nahan and said, "What the palm of the plate said is extremely true. At present, Hong Chengchou's gang and the surrounding provinces continue to add troops to Shaanxi, trying to reproduce the siege of Henan, we must not sit idly by. ”

Earlier, at the beginning of the breakthrough from Henan into Shaanxi, the Zhongying Liukou set their responsibilities with each other, in order to avoid the point of exhaustion again, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Ma Shouying and other powerful people exchanged code words for this. Li Zicheng, as Gao Yingxiang's right-hand man, also knows this.

After Zhao Dangshi whispered to him in his ear, he nodded slightly, indicating that he knew it. However, he did not rush to ask Zhao Dangshi about the deployment of the camp in southern Shaanxi, but arched his brows and said: "To cooperate with Lao Huihui to open up roads in Yun, Henan and other places, there is still a tricky matter to deal with at the moment......

Zhao Dangshi arched his hand and said: "Please make it clear on the plate." ”

Li Zicheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Yicao." ”
