As night fell, the lights came on, and Wenxian, which had been lively for a day, gradually became gentle, Chang Zhenbang carried a small lantern and carefully walked in this familiar and unfamiliar city. Walking through the noisy night market and the flowing crowds, I realized that something seemed to be missing from my heart.

What's missing?

Chang Zhenbang shook his head with a wry smile, telling himself that he was doing well now, and there was no shortage of anything!

There are also two small lanterns hanging in front of the gate of the Guandi Temple in the east of the city, the lanterns are like the eyes of the Guandi Temple on the left and right, giving people a faint hope, but they can hope that in this night they are too small to dispel the majestic darkness around, whether this is like life, and they will leave the light after working hard, but this light is not enough to retreat the darkness of fate, and the only thing that can dispel the night is a round of rising sun.

Zhao Wugen came to the Guandi Temple early, squatted at the door, and saw Chang Zhenbang hurriedly drop most of the cigarette rolls left in his hand, and greeted him.

"My lord, those people are in there! I'll go and report on it. Wait a minute! After saying that, Zhao Wugen trotted into the Guandi Temple, and after a while, the door of the Guandi Temple suddenly opened, and out of a strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, more than eight feet tall, this man had a proud face, without the slightest obscene atmosphere, and the emperor's braids were not cut off, but they were not closed, but they just went down like a waterfall. Let him add a little more freedom. At first glance, you will know that it is not something in the pool!

This person is Wood, a graduate of the second phase of the Tianjin Garrison School, and the former leader of the first squadron of the Wen County Garrison.

He stood on the steps and looked at Chang Zhenbang carefully, looking at him as Chang Zhenbang did.

This is the first time the two of them have met, but it seems that when they meet again after a long absence, they are stunned for a while, just like Wang Ba has fallen in love with mung beans.

Zhao Laosi hid behind the door, and when he saw that they didn't speak like this, he couldn't hold back, and said, "This birdman, why don't you say a word, isn't he a dumb person!" ”

Qi Weitian said: "What do you know about a reckless man!" Learn more about how the boss speaks and does things. ”

"Learn from him to be dumb?" Zhao Laosi said fiercely: "The boss is a very open man, why is he so abrasive today?" , achievement, no achievement, no achievement, how good it is to be refreshing! ”

Wood smiled slightly and said, "The feng shui here is good, the scenery is also good, the adults are willing to go on a night tour with the villains!" ”

Chang Zhenbang also smiled: "It is really a blessing to be able to play with Mr. Wood!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it in his hand and handed it over.

Wood took it with a smile, walked to Chang Zhenbang's left side, and said, "My lord, please!" ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled and said, "Sir, please!" ”

Zhao Laosi was really a little confused about what was happening in front of him, so he turned around and asked, "Third child, this kid won't be selling ass, right?" ”

The two of them talked and laughed and walked around the Guandi Temple, Wood seemed to know that he knew this Guandi Temple very well, as if he had grown up here since he was a child, every brick and tile here was so familiar to him, and the stories in the corners and corners were not only unseemly, but he said them clearly, but he didn't mention a word about them, the people of the original garrison.

"I can't help but believe what you're saying, Mr. Wood."

Chang Zhenbang said very seriously.

Wood smiled and said, "It's good if the adults like it, the night is over, let Weitian and the fourth give the adults a ride!" ”

"It's hard work!" Chang Zhenbang said: "The affairs of the squadron are tired, Youneng Youhua is my cousin, and Zhao Wugen's squad leader can't be withdrawn, things are difficult to do, but Mr. will have a way!" ”

"It's a matter of facts, and it's just a matter of people!" Wood smiled, shook his hair, and said, "It's just a pity that I have such good hair." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "There is sacrifice in doing anything!" Don't mind, sir! ”

Wood smiled, found Qi Weitian and Zhao Laosi, handed the lantern to Qi Weitian, explained a few words to Zhao Laosi, and asked these two people to send Chang Zhenbang home.

The way back seemed to be darkened and narrowed with the company of someone.

The three of them didn't speak at first, after all, what could someone say when they met for the first time? However, such a depressed and silent atmosphere really made Zhao Laosi a little uncomfortable, and after seeing the Guandi Temple in the night, he couldn't help but stop, stopped in front of Chang Zhenbang, and shouted: "Boy, what did the boss and you say?" How did you arrange our brothers! If you say a word wrong, Lao Tzu wants you to look good! ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled, he didn't mind his attitude, if he was as knowledgeable as a Hun person, wouldn't he also become a Hun person. He just said: "You can't sit on the throne whether you succeed or not!" ”

"Damn boy, eat Lao Tzu's punch!" Zhao Laosi roared viciously, and punched Chang Zhenbang in the chest.

Chang Zhenbang does not hide.

As he expected, Qi Weitian casually dropped the lantern, took a flash step, and came between the two, overlapping his hands to block Zhao Laosi's tiger punch.

The lantern stood firmly on the street not far away, undamaged.

"Third child, you eat things outside the grill, quickly get out of the way for me, let me teach this young master a good lesson who doesn't know the height of the sky!"

Qi Weitian said angrily: "Zhao Laosi, you give me some brains, Master Chang will be our gold master in the future!" ”

"Don't do this!" Zhao Laosi was a little disdainful and a little unconvinced: "Lao Tzu only listens to Boss Wood, what is he?" Only you, who are full of goods, need to be a gold owner! ”

"You idiot!" Qi Weitian was furious, and smashed a fist on Zhao Laosi's face, and after being held by him with one hand, he randomly flew out and kicked him in the stomach, so painful that he fell to the ground at once, and he couldn't get up again!

"Idiot!" Qi Weitian kicked a few more times disdainfully, and said: "There is no nation in this world that is more skillful than the Han people, reversing black and white!" ”

"Qi Laosan, what kind of man is a dark yin person!"

"The man is Song Ming's swear words, and if you shout too much, you Han people will not be ashamed, but proud!"

"I'm, you minion ......"

"Boy, let me tell you the truth again, a courtier means a minion! A long time ago, didn't you Han people think that it was more shameful to be a minister than to be someone else's son? Why is it glorious again now? I think you're getting stupid! ”

Qi Weitian said and kicked Zhao Laosi a few times in anger, kicking Zhao Laosi until he rolled his eyes before stopping!

"I'm a full man, whether adults use me or not, I hope adults don't forget this!"

Chang Zhenbang looked at him, nodded, and said, "I know." Qi Weitian, born in the Red Banner of Manchurian, was born in the deputy capital of the Imperial Forest Army, advocated the monarch's constitution, spoke disrespectfully, and was demoted to the second-class supervisor of the Tianjin Garrison, and in the same year, he was demoted to the captain of the Wenxian Garrison Team! The emperor abdicated and was dismissed by the prefectural governor! ”

Qi Weitian was a little sad, and then said in a low voice: "Chang Zhenbang, the first big family in Wenxian County, Chang Jia, young and intelligent, little grown, self-funded study tour Dongying, initially mixed in Dongying's eight famous schools, after Waseda graduated after a year, during the study abroad, and a Dongying woman fell in love, returned to his hometown with sadness, and since then he has been in a slump, staying at home, known as crazy, becoming a joke in Wenxian County, after the battle of Chenjiazhuang, the shock is quite big, forcing back the big old black, and it is rumored that the big old black is ashamed under the rout, and finally burned the village and absconded, I don't know whether it is true or not! ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said, "Think that old man is full of crimes, and he has been in Wenxian County for more than ten years, especially what I, a hairy boy, can clean up?" It's just a rumor! ”

Qi Weitian smiled and said, "My lord is too modest, you can pretend to be crazy and stupid for three or four years, and the big old black is forced to run away by you, but he doesn't complain!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Everyone in this world wants to be smart, who wants to be crazy?" In fact, I don't leave the house, I have a last resort, I believe Brother Qi will definitely be able to understand! With that, he took off his hat and reached out to pull a braid from his head.

"...... you?" Qi Weitian was stunned for a moment, his face was cloudy.

Chang Zhenbang clasped his fists in the direction of Beijing with both hands, and said: "My Chang family has been favored by the emperor, and my ancestors have also been out of Hanlin. As a state official, the younger brother went abroad to stay abroad to serve the emperor for the sake of enriching the country and strengthening the army, but he didn't expect the world to make people, and he was braided by Sun Fa's bandit's party in Dongying, so he had to hide in the bookstore, I wanted to develop braids and serve the emperor, but I didn't expect it...... Ay...... Don't you say it, it's all tears when you talk too much. ”

Qi Weitian looked at the braid in his hand, tears flashed in his eyes, he just sighed softly, kicked up the lantern on the ground with one kick, reached out to catch it, and said, "It's getting late, I'll send the adults home!" ”

The two of them hadn't walked a few steps, when suddenly a sharp arrow flew out of the night, piercing the rope of the lantern, and the lantern fell to the ground and burned to the ground.

"Who?"

Qi Weitian stretched out his hand to protect Chang Zhenbang, and said with a gloomy face.

The lanterns on fire on the ground were extinguished by the night wind, and four or five big men jumped out of nowhere in the night, and they each slashed at Chang Zhenbang with a big knife.

Qi Weitian smiled coldly, threw the lantern handle in his hand hard, smashed the big man in front to the ground, and swooped down randomly, his two arms were like meteor hammers, and everywhere he went, people turned over on their backs, and after a while, they knocked all these people to the ground.

Looking at the groaning on the ground, Qi Weitian had no pity, reached out and picked up a big knife, his face was gloomy as ink, and he pressed against the neck of a big man, and said, "Who sent you?" ”

The big man glared at him viciously, and he didn't know where the strength came from, but he actually crashed into the big knife in Qi Weitian's hand, and the blood flew away like a sharp arrow, and he died.

"Good man!"

Qi Weitian sighed lightly, turned around and walked towards the other man, but unexpectedly a big man burst out from the dark shadow on the side, this big man is like an iron tower, his muscles are as strong as stones, and his bald head is even brighter, it seems that it is not a brain but also a good muscle.

"Second Li!"

When Qi Weitian saw that it was him, he didn't speak, and the big knife in his hand cut out without hesitation. That Li Shiming was able to be one of the four leaders of the imperial court security in Wenxian County, and it was by no means in vain, he found an iron rod in his hand from nowhere, and he became a mess with Qi Weitian.

Qi Weitian has a strong body, skilled swordsmanship, and a light skill is also quite good, he really deserves to be born in the Royal Forest Army, but this Li Shiming is not so easy to deal with, he has reached the peak of kung fu with a horizontal practice, and the sticks in his hands are like a raptor out of the water, and his moves are simple and rough compared to the chic and free Royal Forest Army routines, which are more street combat types.

As expected, after dozens of rounds, Qi Weitian gradually fell into disadvantage, but Li Shiming fought steadily and steadily, biting the other party like a python, so that Qi Weitian could not get out and counterattack was ineffective!

Chang Zhenbang saw Qi Weitian hanging in a predicament, hurriedly raised the box cannon from his sleeve, opened his throat and shouted: "Weitian, I'm here to help you!" As he spoke, he pulled the trigger, and the bullet slashed through the night with a dazzling light, passing through the back of Qi Weitian's heart.

The blood was warm and pleasant, Qi Weitian only felt that his back was soft for a while, and the strength of the whole person was lost all of a sudden, and he fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, and his eyes were puzzled.

"Sorry, it's so close that I made a mistake!"

Chang Zhenbang said without shame, and the box cannon in his hand pointed at the strong men who fell to the ground, and after a few shots, the heads of these dead people instantly bloomed and became a rotten persimmon.

Li Shiming was stunned, completely unable to understand what Chang Zhenbang meant, and at this time, Chang Zhenbang's box cannon was already pointed at him.

"Do you want to ...... Do. ”

Li Shiming has done the same thing before, but this time he changed himself, and his body couldn't help but be a little soft.

Chang Zhenbang smiled and said, "Get out!" ”

"Huh?!"

"Ahhh Go back and tell your master, you didn't succeed in sniping Lao Tzu, but you also got rid of Qi Weitian and these people, it's not a bad achievement, now don't let Lao Tzu change his attention, get out of Lao Tzu immediately! ”

Li Shiming didn't know what to say at all, so he turned around and ran.

Several gunshots in a row seemed to alarm the entire Wen County at once.

In the direction of Guandi Temple, Wood, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, changed his face even more after hearing the direction from which the gunshots came, and hurriedly chased after him with more than a dozen brothers. When he saw Qi Weitian's frightened and confused face among the dead corpses, his face suddenly darkened a lot, and the green tendons on his fists jumped out one by one, like a few little green dragons with their teeth and claws.

"Ah, isn't that Young Master Chang?"

With an exclamation, Wood turned his head and saw that the blood was still coming out, lying on the ground in a decadent manner, his face was already pale, and Chang Zhenbang, who was out more than he was breathing, didn't say a word, and called three or four intimate brothers to carry him back. He stayed behind to clean up the mess.

Half an hour later, the relevant departments lazily dispatched three or four people, asked a few scribbled questions, and hurriedly put away the scene.

Who knew that an hour later, the county magistrate actually rushed over with people to check in person.

All of a sudden, all kinds of gossip emerged one after another, and the inside story of Gong Dou achieved the best sales since Wenxian County had a newspaper.
