After tossing and turning in Shandong for a month, the Guoxing Asuo Department finally embarked on the way home again, and went straight to Gu'an through Cangzhou and Guoba County. There were no more waves in eating and drinking along the way, but Cao Meng, the commander of the fourth company, who was careful everywhere before, became more careful, as if the whole person was going to be invisible.

In a few days, they had already arrived outside the city of Gu'an, and although they were still twenty miles away, everything had become familiar to the locals of Gu'an, such as Saishan'a. The garrison of the Eight Banners is not allowed to leave the station for twenty miles, they are actually not familiar with the outside of Gu'an City, but they feel the customs of their hometown, think of their family at home, and their hearts are warm.

"My lord, I can enter the city this afternoon, let Mu Shun take someone to the front station in a while, should we start preparing now!" Saishana came to Goshinga's carriage and asked for instructions. He used to make up his own mind, but after the turmoil in Texas, he also began to try to treat Goxinga the same way he treated Hui Yang.

"Good! Let everyone pack up and enter the city beautifully! "Guo Xinga also wants to make a good impression on the so-called hometown people.

"No, sir! The coffins of Lao Zuo Ling and several masters returned to their hometowns, although they will still be buried in Beijing in the future, but the old ones here in Gu'an also have to be memorialized. And you are returning to your hometown, and you are not suitable for you freshly dressed and angry horses! "Sezanne knew that Goxinga hadn't thought about these things at all.

"Oh! I kept all the clothes from the last ceremony! Guo Xing's heart was thinking about the scene of his triumphant return, forgetting that there was a truckload of ashes behind him.

"Keep them all! Let's see if we're here to take a break and let the soldiers and officers change their clothes! "Saishana didn't want to carry that pile of mourning clothes, it was too unlucky, and he made new ones when he was ready to use them. But in order to save money, Guo Xing'a took these things all the way, and he didn't care. A bunch of white clothes is unlucky, and that truckload of ashes is not wanted.

"Done! Let's take a break! It's been a morning away! "Guo Xing'a doesn't care about these things at all, he should be helping the spirit, and he is playing with two little bees with the Tianni sisters in the carriage!

The brigade stopped on the road and began to organize the equipment and change the mourning clothes. They didn't think about blocking the official road, thousands of people marched in a brigade, and the one who took the wrong medicine dared to move near them. Some of the caravans who traveled with them would rather spend an extra day of shop money than go with them. To those who had always come, when he saw them, he retreated. Don't let them give way, even if you pass by the side, you feel panicked.

The fourth platoon commander of the Eighth Company, Ah Jing'a, was changing his clothes while scolding the idle streets, and at the same time regretting the foolish things he had done in the past. Being able to go home, the flags that came out of the Eight Banners of the Gu'an Garrison were all happy, but Ah Jing'a was not happy at all. Although he also became a platoon commander, except for Yu Ding, who no one knew, basically the familiar face flag people in Gu'an were all platoon commander-level officials. Moreover, the platoon commanders of other people are all the main platoon, not to mention the big oil and water, and the combat power of his subordinates is also strong, and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to an officer for meritorious service in the future. And his subordinates are all a group of recruits, with little oil and water, and there is no chance of meritorious service. Besides, everyone has been a platoon commander a long time ago, and he has only been a platoon commander for a few days, if it weren't for the strength of Cezana and others, this platoon commander would have nothing to do with him. Eight companies and four platoons, the platoon commander is the last. He is still the worst among the banner people of his generation, Acton, Chengtai and even Ta Er, who were originally similar to him, are now officials with tops, how can he hold his head up when he returns home. What's even more hateful is that the company commander on his head is still a Han man, and he is a Han with a disability.

Ah Jing Ah does not blame others, he knows that his things are all done by himself. The sister flower who almost fell into his tiger's mouth at the beginning is now Guo Xing's forbidden belly, although Guo Xing'a is still young and has nothing serious to do, but the two sisters are also very favored. Guo Xing'a treated him well, didn't give him small shoes to wear, and secretly comforted him, but this promotion is getting farther and farther away from him. The pillows on both sides were blowing in the wind, and almost every time he was promoted, Goxinga bypassed his name. Ah Jing, who is in a bad mood and has no place to vent, can only express her emotions by scolding the idle street.

"Platoon leader, that little begger has been peeking at us!" A recruit had been looking around while changing his clothes, and after changing his clothes, he hurriedly reported his findings to Ah Jing'a. Not far away, on the side of the road, a little beggar in tattered clothes had been observing the situation of the troops.

"Go and bring it to him!" Ah Jing'a is going to vent his frustration with a whip, regardless of whether he is a spy or not, let's talk about it first.

When the two soldiers rushed over, the little beggar did not run, but calmly said something to the two soldiers. What made Ah Jing'a wonder even more was that the two soldiers did not carry out his order to bring the beggar over, but walked over calmly by the little beggar.

"I've seen four platoon lengths!" The little beggar gave Ah Jing a thousand greetings, his face was not flustered at all, but he was very happy, and his eyes were clear and he didn't look like a beggar at all.

"You know how to beh! Are you a fallen son? Ah Jing'a laughed, this thing is funny.

"The fourth platoon leader laughed, I am a member of the teaching team, my name is Shi Guang, please take me to meet the adults." Shi Guang finally met his relatives, and his face was full of excitement.

"You're on the teaching team?" Ah Jing'a was startled, how could a beggar on the side of the road in Gu'an be a member of the teaching team. No matter how sluggish Ah Jing'a is, he understands that the teaching team is the cradle of future officers, and the little cubs in it now will have a good future when they are a few years older in the future. Even after the current officers are promoted, they have to go to the teaching team to study, how could Ah Jinga not know the importance of the teaching team.

"Yes!" Shi Guang nodded quickly.

"Where did you hear about it?" Ah Jing'a couldn't accept that a little beggar was from the teaching team.

"My direct commander is Fushun, and I am subordinate to ......" Shi Guang reported his subordinate relationship, and told all kinds of brief histories and well-known figures of the army.

"Why are you like this?" This little beggar even Tan Shaoguang knew that it was definitely not a fake, and Ah Jing'a felt that his brain was a little messy.

"I can't tell you for a while, so please send me to meet my lord!" Shi Guang did a lot of things, and Ah Jing'a didn't know enough about it.

"Well said, well said!" Ah Jing Ah agreed repeatedly, which can be regarded as a good fate.

Guo Xing'a was naturally served by someone to change his clothes, and he also changed his clothes early in the morning, and was enjoying the beautiful rivers and mountains of Gu'an with his sisters by the carriage. Guoxinga's current life is very extravagant, with a coffee table and maza placed next to the carriage, hot tea, melon seeds, and snacks. When Guo Xing'a was happily talking about meat jokes and teasing the sisters, Ah Jing'a came over with a small meal, and when he saw Ah Jing'a's two sisters, there was no smile on their faces, and their eyes were full of deep hatred.

"Why are you bringing someone to ask for food?" Guo Xing's interest was disturbed, and naturally he didn't like Ah Jing'a.

"My lord, the minion Shi Guang is back!" Without waiting for Ah Jing'a to speak, Shi Guang knelt down in front of Guo Xing'a and began to cry.

"Shi Guang? Why are you here? What about Rong Hong? What happened to you and you met the pirates? After recognizing Shi Guang, Guo Xing'a almost flew out of the sky.

"No, no, everything has been bought, and Lord Rong is fine, my lord! The minions can see you, and we've suffered a big loss! Shi Guang looked at the dim sum and swallowed and spit, and then cried again.

"Ah, go ahead! Remember the commendation once! "Rong Hong and the machine are fine, Guo Xing'a stabilized, although Shi Guang's disguise and change like this still makes Guo Xing'a very puzzling, but he is not in a hurry. Many things were inconvenient to spread, and Goxinga hurriedly drove away Ah Jing'a.

Tianni found that Shi Guang had been peeking at the snacks on the coffee table when she was crying, so she picked up the plate and sent it to Shi Guang. Shi Guang almost put his face on the plate, but he peeked at Guo Xing'a and didn't dare to eat it.

"Eat! Let's talk about it after eating! Guo Xing'a sent the entire coffee table to Shi Guang.

"Thank you, master!" Shi Guang has no scruples now, he can't describe his state when he spits and swallows, and he swallows the palm-sized snack whole, and dares to pour the hot tea into his mouth.

"Where's Rong Hong?" Shi Guang was a little better, and Guo Xing'a hurriedly asked, he had to ask Rong Hong's whereabouts before Shi Guang choked himself to death.

"I'm going to have dinner too, it's in the small temple in front of me!" Shi Guang rolled his eyes and pointed in a difficult direction.

"You two wait for me in the car! I'll explain to Uncle Sai in a while, I'll go find Rong Hong! "Guo Xing'a arranged the sister flowers first.

"Fuquan, bring more food, get on the horse and follow me!" Guo Xing'a picked up Shi Guang and led the guard platoon to gallop towards the machine and Rong Hong that he had been waiting for for a long time.

After running for more than two miles, Guo Xing'a found the small temple that Shi Guang said. It was really a real small temple, only the size of a room, and there were no idols, and the ground was covered with straw and fallen leaves and some rotten cotton wool, and seven young beggars and a thin young beggar were accumulating nests in it. Seeing the appearance of the young beggar clearly, Guo Xing'a really couldn't believe that the person in front of him was Rong Hong, who was dressed in a dress and was chic and dignified. Now he was dressed in a tattered robe, his face was covered with black mud, his hands were black and shiny as if he had just dug coal, he had no top hat on his head, and his hair was fluffy and disheveled like a chicken coop. In his left hand, he held a forked branch, and in his right hand he held a broken bowl dirtier than a shit basin, his eyes blurred and determined. This is not a graduate of Yale University, this is the leader of the Gu'an Beggar Gang, the chief scoop of the Zhili Beggar Gang.

"Da Meng!" Guo Xing'a shuddered.

"Huh?" Rong Hong's voice was very long, and he was weak.

"Your Excellency!" Rong Hong looked carefully at the person standing at the door, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed to Guo Xing'a in one arrow step, and plunged into Guo Xing'a's arms, crying loudly.

"Da Meng has suffered! It's hard! Guo Xing'a comforted Rong Hong's shoulder. Although some people mind that Rong Hong's black and beautiful hands, and it is conservatively estimated that his face that has not been washed for dozens of days will stain his filial piety robe, Guo Xing'a still hugged Rong Hong tightly, which is really miserable.

"Master!" The seven teenagers also gathered around, hugging Guo Xing'a and crying bitterly, and Guo Xing'a's snow-white clothes were covered with handprints and all kinds of strange stains for a while.

Everyone wept bitterly, and Fuquan hurriedly rescued Guoxinga with food. The people who finally saw the grain again, and the desperate repeated Shi Guang's way of eating similar to self-destruction. After a meal that was not much better than the vicious dog grabbing food, Rong Hong looked at Guo Xing'a with tears in his eyes.

"Da Meng, what happened?" Goxinga still hasn't figured out what happened to these people.

"Your Excellency! We are wronged! These bastards, it's too damn bad! "Yung Hong's Chinese has become very proficient, and his accent has improved a lot. To learn a language, the external environment is very important, and Yung Hong has recently had a very good external environment. It is impossible for him to use fluent English to ask for a little leftover food from an old lady in the countryside of Gu'an, and the landlord has no surplus food at home, who will help a person who can't even understand people's words. Stimulated by hunger, Rong Hong quickly learned to speak Chinese, and because of the working environment, his scolding level also improved rapidly.

Speaking of sad things, Rong Hong also never said anything about rain and tears. His trip to the sea went very smoothly, and he bought back a large number of precision machines and various raw materials for Guo Xing'a in Hong Kong and Singapore, and even more than 3,000 authentic Enfeld P1853s, and also brought back a large amount of silver. Rong Hong's business is still good, the local products he bought in Shanghai were sold at a good price after going abroad, he not only brought back the machinery and raw materials, but also brought back more than 40,000 taels of silver to Guo Xing'a. After finding Shi Guang in Shanghai, because Cao Yun could not pass, they chose sea transportation and successfully logged in Tianjin, but his good luck ended here.

The sea is much faster than Guo Xing'a's walking, and when he arrived in Tianjin, Guo Xing'a had just entered Shandong! Therefore, after Rong Hong landed in Tianjin, he could only take the official certificate given to him by Guo Xing'a to prove his identity, and walked to Gu'an by inquiring. As a result, he was robbed as soon as he arrived at Hexiwu, and the Hexiwu Inspection Department thought that he was impersonating an official and carrying a large amount of prohibited materials. mercilessly detained Rong Hong's materials and official credentials, and drove Rong Hong and others out.

Rong Hong, who lost his supplies, could only go to Gu'an, wanting to find Guo Xing'a to get things back. But none of Shi Guang and the others were banner people, and none of them had ever been to Gu'an, and they didn't know anyone at all, so they touched the Gu'an County Ya with black eyes. Rong Hong, who has no official credentials, has no way to prove his identity, and the Guoxing'a they said and the Guoxing'a people know from Gu'an are not a person at all, so they naturally hit walls everywhere. If you want to die, the more than 40,000 taels of silver tickets hidden on Rong Hong's body have been exposed again, and the county order will immediately cure Rong Hong for the crime of pretending to be an official. It is also the young men under Fushun who are brave and ruthless, otherwise Rong Hong would have been pressed into a sack in the prison of the county government. A few teenagers relied on daggers and killed several officials to protect Rong Hong and escape. But at this time, Guoxinga was still suppressing bandits in Shandong! Where can they find a place to reason, they can only guard the road of Gu'an, and look forward to Guoxing's return every day. The silver on their bodies was robbed by the Gu'an County Order, and they didn't dare to enter the city, so they could only become beggars outside the city.

"I'll fuck him, uncle, I'll avenge you!" After listening to Rong Hong's crying, Guo Xing'a immediately turned it over, and if he didn't turn it over, he couldn't do it, but what he deducted was all his things.

"Master! Let's go back to Gu'an to settle accounts with the county order! Fuquan felt that the worst thing that harmed Rong Hong was the Gu'an County Order.

"Order, the army will be diverted to Hexiwu, and I will dismantle his inspection department!" Of course, Guoxinga has to go to Hexiwu, where are the machines, raw materials, and guns! It's too late, and it's over with a slip.
