Chapter 2: Sharpening the Sword (Seven Tops)

Worried about the safety of Zhou Heitan. Zhang Songling had lunch. Immediately, he went down the mountain with the red-bearded guard Xiao Zou. Changing horses non-stop along the way. It only took a day and a half. rushed to the county seat of Heishizhai.

Li Laojiu, the ninth leader of the Black Wolf Gang on duty at the city gate, is his old acquaintance. It was Zhang Songling who came clearly. Quickly opened the gate and brought him in. He stepped forward and led him into the city. While saying with a smile: "It's really time for Zhang Ye to come. Our chief treasurer was still talking about you this morning. Say you're not showing up. I'll pass on the share that's left for you.."

"Keep my share. Leave me that share." Zhang Songling was stunned. I was a little surprised and asked.

Li Laojiu, the leader of the Black Wolf Gang, rolled his eyes. deliberately raised his voice a few points: "Of course, it's the dividends of the partnership. Our big shopkeeper said it. This time I was able to dig out the little devil's nest. Except for us Black Wolves. The credit goes to your greatness. So it's time to give your share of the jackpot. Definitely no less than anyone else.".

"He doesn't know I've cast a red beard." Zhang Songling was stunned again. Some can't guess what kind of medicine is sold in Zhou Heitan's gourd. By common sense. From the moment he received a letter asking for help from his trust. Zhou Heitan should have understood that he had chosen the Lamagou guerrillas. When calculating the distribution of loot. Of course, you should also count your share in the guerrillas' due. Why is it specially separated separately..

"This.." Li Laojiu hesitated. His eyes began to flicker." This one. The big shopkeeper of our family really didn't mention it to me. Maybe he thought you were going to Lama Gou this time. It's just to return the favor of the red master. I don't know very well. When you meet, ask him yourself. Anyway give your booty. It's all stored in the warehouse. I don't have a warrant from my treasurer. No one can move."

"Kuroko this week." Zhang Songling smiled wryly and shrugged. Li Laojiu must not be telling the truth. But he didn't have to be serious with the other party. After all, Li Laojiu is just a big leader of the Black Wolf Gang. Not the real mastermind of the discord scheme.

"This way. Walk a little closer this way." Li Laojiu has already found out Zhang Songling's attitude. I don't want to waste too much time on this matter. Take the opportunity to give the other person directions. Take the initiative to divert the conversation." You look at this roadside buying and selling. What it was. It's still what it looks like. As long as it's not related to the Japanese. We've all done it without committing any crimes."

"Hmm!" Zhang Songling nodded. Looking around with a smile. It's approaching sunset. But none of the shops along the street were closed. The shopkeeper and the big guys sat behind the empty counter. Gazing at the same empty pavement. I heard Li Laojiu's voice coming from outside. Immediately jumped to the door as if stung by a bee. Forced to greet loudly with a smile on his face." This old guest. Here you go again. What is needed. I'll get it for you right away. Our family has been in business for three generations. Guaranteed fair price."

"Old customer. Old customers. You might as well come in and have a look. New arrivals. Good quality and low price."

"Come in and sit down. Come in and sit. Our store specializes in southern goods. It's all first-class......"

The voice of greeting is warm though. looked at Li Laojiu and the others no matter what. Zhang Songling looked at this battle. I guessed that the enthusiasm of the shopkeeper and the guys was all pretended. Nodding. smiled and said to Li Laojiu: "I have heard someone say it a long time ago. You Black Wolf Gang are good men who do the right thing for heaven. See you today. The rumors are not nonsense. But I'm coming to you today. There is an important matter to inform him. Let's not delay our efforts on the road. Another day there was time. Excuse me, and take me for a good walk."

"No trouble. No trouble." Li Laojiu hurriedly quickened his pace. While walking. while responding loudly." Master Zhang, you can take a fancy to me. It was my pleasure. The great treasurer lived in the barracks in the city. Walk through the street. Just turn a corner."

The shopkeeper and the guys are worried that Li Laojiu will find fault. Suddenly listened to his humility called by Zhang Ye. I couldn't help but look up secretly. Look at the horseback." Who is this lad. can actually let Li Gouzi lead the horse for him... Could it be the big boss of a village? It's not like ah. He's in his early twenties at most. How is it possible to climb to the position of the big master. Unless he's like Zhou Heizi. The son inherits the father's business. But this is a radius of five hundred miles. I haven't heard of any big bandit leader surnamed Zhang.."

Just confused. Suddenly I heard the sound of gongs and drums. Turn your head again and look at it. I saw a wave of horse thieves from the Black Wolf Gang beating gongs and drums to greet him. The strong man headed by is the big boss Zhou Heitan. From afar, he opened his arms to the man on horseback: "Good brother. You're finally here. I've been looking forward to the stars and the moon to you these days."

"Brother Zhou, where are you talking. I just went to Old Scar. Then I came to you in a hurry." Zhang Songling immediately jumped off his mount. Greeted from afar. While saying polite words. While reaching out and slapping Zhou Heitan on the back a few times.

Zhou Heitan was slapped by him and frowned. Hurriedly took two steps back. Hold his hands with both hands and shake them vigorously." Look for old scars. You're hurt.. Seriously. Do you want me to find another doctor to help you take a look? I captured a Japanese Lang Zhong alive here. Although people look crooked, melons and cracked dates. The medical skills under his hands are still passable."

"A little injury. It's already a no-brainer." Zhang Songling shook his head with a smile. Then he quickly turned his gaze to Peng Xuewen, who was following Zhou Heitan's side." What about you. I didn't hurt anything. Let's be honest. I didn't expect you to come back."

"I don't want to collect your body so early." Peng Xuewen glared at him. He responded with a sneer. Also want you to know to know. You are not the only one in this world who has the courage to fight with the little devils."

Anyway, the other party just helped me a lot. Zhang Songling doesn't compete with him for the limelight. Smiled. He said very politely, "It's good that you're not hurt. Thanks to your help this time. Great gratitude. In the future, if there is a need to use my place. Send me a letter. As long as you can do it. I'm absolutely not shiying."

"Including asking you to come back south with me." Peng Xuewen glanced at him. Keep sneering.

"I've joined the guerrillas." Zhang Songling shook his head. Answered very seriously." Today is Captain Wang Hong. That is, the life of the red beard in everyone's mouth. I'm here to send a message to the two of you. If you both feel the need to listen to it. We'd better go in and talk."

"So fast.." Peng Xuewen's brows quickly wrinkled into Sichuan characters. The look of disappointment in his eyes was clear." They don't care that you used to be a company commander on the 26th Road... Also. A flock of turtles shut up and call them kings. Finally, there is a person who can fight and runs to the past. Why don't you hurry up and give it up as a treasure."
