After arranging the affairs of Ganquan and Zhiluogou, Lu Shi could not stay here for a long time, because there was news from the old camp of Huluyu that an old acquaintance had come to Heihu Village and was eager to see Lu Shi, so Lu Shi could not delay here any longer.

He himself knows that in this turbulent era, his pole does not exist in the records of history, and the reason for its non-existence is that it once had, and now he is watching, participating, and working hard to develop, but there is no record of the reason in history, the only explanation is that in history, like a pole composed of thousands of hungry people, it was wiped out in the long river of the great uprising. I was oppressed by such a historical reality.

To live, with his beloved Chunlan, his adoptive parents, his little girl, the three brothers of the Zhang family, and these brothers who love him, struggle to live to a peaceful and prosperous era, this is Lu Shi's sleepless work motivation.

Lu Shi wanted to rely on the advantages of the traverser several times and wanted to change history with pride, but history seems to have his inertia, as if he stubbornly let himself go back to the original path - there should be no such people as himself in this history, so although he buried his head in a low-key and hoped that he could live safely in this troubled world, he jumped out of Zhang Yuan, who had never been in history, and let himself start to be tired.

Strength is the basis that determines the survival of a brother like himself, so he must work hard.

Before leaving, Lu Shi pulled Zheng Hao to the side and whispered but sincerely: "Mr. Dacai, we are incomparable to these rough men, the safety of the hundreds of thousands of people in this base area, and the hundreds of thousands of people who are about to join will be handed over to Mr., I don't care about your original, and I don't care about your purpose, but now we accept you, if nothing else, just for the lives of these hundreds of thousands of people, please sir." ”

Holding Zheng Hao's hand strongly, he couldn't bear to let go.

Zheng Hao felt Lu Shi's helpless trust from this palm. It's really incomprehensible to know that your joining is abrupt, but I also know that understanding takes time.

Helpless, because the base area does lack talents who can stand alone, Zheng Hao's arrival is a piece of fat that may be poisonous, the base area has to eat and eat, and if you don't eat, you have to eat, this is also the arrangement of the three subordinate units of this Ganquan, contain each other and monitor each other, but what Zheng Hao has done these days has made Lu Shi feel at ease.

With his only son and wife as hostages, Zheng Hao Ruomo is a righteous man, and Ruomo is a big hero.

Zheng Hao smiled sincerely, shook Lu Shi's hand and said: "People often say that Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has seen the hearts of the people for a long time, please see the behavior of King Chuang." My dog and the clumsy thorn will ask the king. After a pause, he said confidently, "One month, only one month, I will use the materials and manpower allocated by the base area to build a solid base front shield ,—— Zhiluogou."

"I believe in what the gentleman says."

Bidding farewell to everyone who stayed behind, Lu Shi rushed to the Black Tiger Village with the rest of the spearmen and cavalry.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the army entered the noisy Black Tiger Village three days later, and in the crowd of greetings, Lu Shi saw a familiar figure - Boss Jia - it was the businessman Zheng Hongda.

Lu Shi hurriedly stepped forward to meet with his fists, and Zheng Hongda also laughed and stepped forward to salute: "Hahaha, I only went for a month if I don't want to be a brother, but the army has won a big victory, congratulations."

"It's all brothers' lives, I'm just going back and forth."

Cao Meng stepped forward to see Zheng Hongda, and then said with a smile: "The two of you are close but you shouldn't be in this cold wind, or go to the cottage and talk about it while the fire is on?" ”

Lu Shi and Zheng Hongda laughed loudly, "That's exactly the reason." ”

Guo Tianxing stepped forward and punched Zheng Hongda, who was originally a strong physique, and laughed: "My brother is going to come quickly, but why did he come back and forth between Yunnan and Shaanxi in January?" Do you want to have an early fight with me? ”

Zheng Hongda hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Guo Tianxing and said: "I didn't drink well last time, this time the old brother came in a hurry to give you a drink, the most important thing is to let the old brother bring you something, it must make you unable to sleep, and drink with me all night." ”

"What do you bring is the heart of King Chuang, but a drunk Fang Xiu is my favorite, this expedition for half a month, Mr. is not allowed to drink, but I am hungry, I want to die, borrow my brother's reason to drink a good time."

appeased the elated cottages stimulated by the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression, and welcomed the brothers. Everyone walked quickly to the hall together, at that time, the people of the cottage had already prepared a sumptuous (relative) wine banquet for King Chuang and the commander, according to the old man and the representative who came, he toasted Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing with joy, and said words of gratitude from the bottom of his heart, and the two of them joined hands to respectfully accept the rice wine sent by the villagers, and killed it one after another, and then returned the salute one by one.

There are even more nearly three hundred Lu Shi's disciples, who have already rushed from the old camp to celebrate their mentor's achievements, and they are chattering around Lu Shi, and their noisy little faces are red, so that Lu Shi can't hear who said what, so he has to laugh heartily.

Zheng Hongda looked at the scene where there was no dignity and humility but there were young and old in this base, and his heart longed for it, and he also stood up and had fun, and drank the world upside down.

The excitement was not until the second half of the night, the people in the base area dispersed happily, Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing lost their breath, and the three people came to the back hall crookedly and sat down, Zhao Xing had a heart, and there were many tricks between the people's toasts, so he secretly hid, and saw that the three of them were drunk, and brought out the warm tea that had been prepared long ago, and the Wang Zhang brothers were busy pouring sobering wine for everyone, and if they didn't want to leave, they were tired of being next to the teacher.

Zheng Hongda, who was tired of traveling, felt a real feeling of being home, and leaned back on the back of the chair, opened his feet and exclaimed with a long sigh of relief: "I am in this world, dealing with all kinds of people every day, but I really don't feel as comfortable and happy as I am today, I really want to live in the base of my brothers for the rest of my life, but I live this life in vain." ”

Guo Tianxing smirked and said: "The old brother is not imagining, our base is surrounded by officials and soldiers, but the collusion with the outside world needs the old brother's communication, where can I give you a place to live for a long time?" ”

Zheng Hongda laughed open-mindedly when he heard this: "I love to listen to the words of the commander, since the elder brother has become your elder brother, you have to do the thing of being an elder brother, where do you dare to be lazy?" ”

Zhao Xing poured tea into the big bowl that he drank, drove the Wang brothers back to sleep, and then said: "Although our base area is slowly prospering under the guidance of King Chuang, the more this is the case, the more it has become a thorn in the side of the government, we will only fight and kill, but there are some things that cannot come forward, this base area can not only last by fighting and killing, some things also need the old brother to collude inside and out, as the so-called, yin and yang are the foundation of the purity of things, so ah, the old brother has to work hard." ”

Lu Shi was drunk and confused, and he also admired Zhao Xing's insight, and tried to sit up straight and said: "Old brother Hugh wants to complain, and said that he brought something this time, he originally said in front of the village that he wanted us to be surprised, but wasn't it a deception?" ”

Guo Tianxing also shouted when he heard this: "That is, don't make your brothers happy when you are a brother." ”

Zheng Hongda laughed and said: "Although my brother drank too much, I also have to repay the credit." Then he shouted outside: "Butler, come in and tell you what we have brought, we will be ashamed if they are not happy to go crazy." ”

With the words, Shi Shiran, a housekeeper in a green coat and a small hat, pushed open the door and walked in, and said to everyone who was already drunk: "I've seen the owner, I've seen the leaders." ”

Zheng Hongda waved his hand and said to everyone: "Don't think about it, this is the old man of my family for several lifetimes, and he is absolutely loyal." ”

Lu Shi and others are relieved at the moment, this era is like this, the ancestors are on an errand in the family, that is almost the inheritance of generations, and they also have the loyalty of the family, and they are really prosperous and lose with the head of the family, so it appears, even if the head of the family asks for food, there are housekeepers and subordinates to share weal and woe with him.

After seeing the salute, the housekeeper unfolded a piece of paper and read: "This time, the owner brought 30,000 taels of silver, 10,000 catties of salt, 2,000 horses of Songjiang cotton cloth, 100 stones of corn seeds, 1,000 stones of potato seeds, 200 books for the disciples of King Chuang, and a batch of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. ”

After reading this, Guo Tianxing and Lu Shi were shocked and lost their sense of drinking, Lu Shi staggered to his feet, and gave Zheng Hongda a deep salute: "Brother saved the great emergency." With this thousand stone potato seeds, you will not worry about hunger up and down this black tiger village in the future, you are really a Buddha of ten thousand families. ”

Zheng Hongda's face was full of pride, so he sat down and calmly accepted the two of them.

Then he shook his hand and said: "Two brothers, don't thank me, I didn't give this thing away for nothing, brother, I didn't just take out this big deal at once, this is still the credit of your brothers." ”

Zhao Xing immediately asked.

That Zheng Hongda said: "Last time, I rushed to Yunnan overnight with two hundred sabers and five hundred guns from the cottage. All the way with the old brother's connections is safe, to the loser to encircle and suppress the rebellion of the barbarians in Yunnan governor's office, show the saber and spear, the governor and the general soldier almost shed tears after seeing it, said that this Yungui bandit has a dawn, the current old brother can not take the credit of the brothers greedy, said that it is the contribution of the righteous people, at the moment at the price of each saber eighteen taels each gun one two five yuan, but also put forward the requirements of the brothers, the Yunnan governor and the general soldier also sympathize with the situation of the brothers and brothers, In the case that there has been no help from the imperial court for two years, the governor braved the great relationship and raised 30,000 silver in the silver pit, and the general soldier also reduced the rations of the soldiers again, and allowed the rations of 1,000 stones to be used as seeds for the old brother to transport, and asked the old brother to purchase 2,000 sabers and 5,000 guns for the Yungui official army again, thinking that the emperor would exterminate the southwestern barbarians as soon as possible and save vitality for the Han family. ”

When he said this, Zheng Hongda's voice gradually lowered, and tears flashed in his eyes.

It has become common sense for the court to owe wages and food, and the border army brothers have become beggars one by one, without food, without clothing, with rusty knives, guns and sticks in their hands, enduring the miasma, but for this Ming Dynasty is still fighting without regrets.

Now, for the sake of this saber and spear, the soldiers' rations that cannot be eaten have been reduced again, and they have already achieved the point of breaking their homes and serving the country.

Lu Shi really wants to fight for justice, but he is a thief and grass coward struggling to survive, and he is his mortal enemy officers and soldiers, but for the sake of national righteousness, how can he bear to watch the counterinsurgency officials and soldiers suffer, innocent casualties?

Lu Shi was very entangled, really entangled.
