Zhou Shixiang, who appeared in the house, was dressed as a showman, which made the young Nanming official stunned, and when he saw that the head of this Xiucai was actually haircut, he immediately showed a look of disdain, and the original expectation was no longer gone, and he turned to Hu Quan and said coldly: "When this official came, Governor Zhang once told me that although Hu Quan fell into the grass in Daqiao Mountain, his conscience was not clear, and his heart was still towards Daming, so as long as I came this time, you will gladly accept the order, and from now on you will be a loyal minister and righteous man of my great tomorrow." But now it seems that what Governor Zhang said is wrong, you Hu someone's heart is not towards the Ming Dynasty, and this official has come to Daqiao Mountain for nothing. ”

Hearing the words in these words, Boss Hu frowned, not knowing what he meant, and said in confusion: "Why did Master Cheng say this?" ”

"Didn't you knowingly ask?"

The young Nanming official who was called Master Cheng pointed at Zhou Shixiang with his hand, and then snorted angrily at Hu Quan, and said: "You have already connected with the Tartars, how can you still be a loyal minister and righteous soldier of the Ming court!" After speaking, without waiting for Hu Quan to react, he flicked his sleeves and got up, and the four guards saw this and hurriedly followed.

Hitched up with the Tartars? Here's how to say it!

Boss Hu was stunned, saying that he was a bandit, and it was okay to kill people and kill the people, but it was impossible to say that he colluded with the Tartars.

When Master Cheng saw that Hu Quan was going to stop him, he couldn't help but be angry, and said in a trembling voice: "What? Are you going to take my head and ask the Tartars for credit? ”

"Protect your lordship!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the four Ming soldiers hurriedly drew their swords out, and as soon as they pulled out their swords, the men under Boss Hu also moved, and they copied the guys one after another. For a while, there was tension in the room, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. The four Ming army guards were so nervous that their palms were soaked with sweat, and if they really started to do it, they would immediately let these bandits chop up with knives.

Although Master Cheng also has a bit of courage, but this will be pointed at by so many knives, and his calves and stomach can't help but tremble slightly, and his heart is bitter: I knew that this Hu Quan and Tartar were colluding, why bother to come to die! That Zhang Xiaoqi really killed me!

"What? Put your knives down! ”

Boss Hu saw that this misunderstanding was getting bigger and bigger, and Lord Cheng's face was even more pale with fright, so he hurriedly stopped a group of subordinates from messing around, although he was no longer a Ming army but a bandit, but he was still close to Nanming, and he didn't want to cut off the Ming army's road, let alone be scolded as a traitor by pointing at his backbone.

After all his subordinates calmed down, Hu Lao generously clasped his fists and said to the official surnamed Cheng: "My lord misunderstood, this Zhou brother is not a Tartar man, but a righteous man who is a thief with a blade from Yunlong, and the Tartar is now wanted everywhere, if you don't believe it, send someone out to investigate!" ”

"Killed the righteous man of Youyunlong?" When Master Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Shixiang again in surprise, and said, "You are Zhou Shixiang, the talent of the new club?" ”

Zhou Shixiang knew that this young official had misunderstood him, and if the two sides really started to act because of this, it would be difficult for him to be mixed in the middle, after all, he was preparing to go to Guangxi to defect to Li Dingguo, and Li Dingguo was the guardian of the Southern Ming court. Immediately nodded and said, "It's Zhou Shixiang below." ”

"It turned out to be you."

Master Cheng thought that he had known Zhou Shixiang's name for a long time, his brows suddenly soothed, and the vigilance in his heart also went away, and after signaling the guards to put down the knife, he glanced at Zhou Shixiang again, nodded slightly, and said: "Since it is a righteous man who killed Youyunlong, he is naturally not a Tartar person, and this official has indeed misunderstood." After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Zhou Shixiang, but said to Hu Quan: "Whether to accept the appointment of the imperial court, you can make up your mind in your heart?" ”

"This"

Boss Hu hesitated a little, and his face showed embarrassment.

Seeing this, Lord Cheng took out a blank document with a seal from his bosom and held it in his hand, and ordered the guards behind him to take out a big seal, and said to Hu Quan: "The seal and the official have all been brought, as long as you promise to come down, you will immediately be my general of Luodingzhou in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

General Luo Dingzhou!

Looking at the confession and the big seal, Boss Hu said that he was not tempted that it was fake, and he had changed from a bandit to a general. Temptation was not something that ordinary people could resist, but the thought of the troubles that would make him feel so hard to make up his mind. After all, the dozens of people under him really can't go to fight Luo Dingzhou, and if they really want to go, I'm afraid that the generals won't be done, but this life will be lost first.

Seeing that Hu Quan was still hesitating when he saw the body and the general Dayin, Lord Cheng's face immediately changed, and he said dissatisfiedly: "General Luo Ding is a military attache of the third grade, and the Son of Heaven also knows the name, if you Hu Quan is inappropriate, there are many other people who rush to be it." After speaking, he persuaded: "This official also knows your difficulties, but at present, the court is in danger, and people with lofty ideals all over the world are running for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Before he finished speaking, Peng Dazhu jumped out and scolded: "The imperial court? What a bullshit court! Where was the court when the Tartars came? When our brothers and the Tartars are desperate, where is the Son of Eternal Heaven! Mom, a piece of broken paper, a broken seal will ask me and other brothers to sell their lives, your court's deal is really cost-effective! ”

As soon as he shouted, someone immediately shouted: "If you really have the heart, you will allocate money and food to us, and for the sake of real money, maybe you can go out and fight a dozen Luoding cities for you!" But if it's empty talk, we have to work hard, no way! ”

"Luo Dingzhou is in the hands of the Qing army, but you have appointed our eldest brother as a general of Luo Ding, hehe, this is an official of the Ming Dynasty, or an official of the Qing Dynasty?"

"Big brother, don't believe the nonsense of this bird official, last year you led the brothers and the governor surnamed Zhang to fight Xinhui City, what was the result? So many brothers died, did the man surnamed Zhang give us a good word, a tael of silver! ”

“”

Hearing this shout, Lord Cheng was really angry, and scolded: "You bandits who have no court, no king, no father, shameless and incorruptible, are really bastards, bastards!" ”

"The surname Cheng, don't forget, we are a bandit den, can you not be a bastard when you are a bandit in this world!"

"If you think we are shameless, what are you doing all the way from Gaozhou? What's the matter, the officials of the Ming Dynasty dealt with the bandits, and they also made the bandit leaders a big official, who is shameless and who is a bastard? ”

"Haha"

The crowd burst into laughter, and the men were scolding and scolding, and the chaos was really unseemly.

Boss Hu was also silent there, obviously thinking about it in his heart, and made up his mind not to accept this appointment, and let these brothers go to make trouble with the surname Cheng, if the surname Cheng left, it would be better.

Zhou Shixiang here was confused, he half understood and half didn't understand, he understood that this Nanming official surnamed Cheng was here to give Boss Hu an official, in order to let Boss Hu work for Nanming, and Boss Hu obviously didn't want to work for the Zhu family's son of heaven in vain.

I don't understand, there are only dozens of people under Boss Hu, so how can the Nanming court look at it, and one is a general of the third grade, could it be that this military attache of Nanming is already as cheap as a dog? Besides, doesn't Nanming have a regular army adapted from the original Great Western Army, and its combat effectiveness does not seem to be worse than that of the Qing Army, so why do you need to recruit some bandits, and what can you expect these bandits to do?

This Nanming official's brain is broken?

Zhou Shixiang was inexplicably wonderful, seeing Song Xianggong standing behind the crowd as if watching a play, his heart moved, and he took advantage of the chaos to squeeze over, tugged at the other party, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Song, who is this?" ”

Song Xianggong smiled, lowered his voice and said: "Don't look at this kid is young, but the official is not small, his name is Cheng Bangjun, and he is a member of the military department of the Yongli Imperial Court." ”

Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War?

Zhou Shixiang didn't understand what this official was doing for a while, and how old he was, but he thought that since it was from the military department, it must have something to do with the army.

"If you don't give anything, you want us to die, this Yongli Imperial Court is really unreasonable. Last year, we suffered Zhang Xiaoqi's loss, and this year's situation is not as good as last year, this time we can't be fooled by them anyway. They, this is their own no soldiers, and they want to coax the eternal son to play, so they take us as fools. ”

When Song Xianggong said this, he obviously disdained the Yongli court, looking at his expression, it seemed that he had already seen through what the officials of the Yongli Dynasty were doing, it was nothing more than casting a net all over the sky, and it was a great achievement to be able to catch the net, and it was also those bandits who died if the net was not dead, anyway, it was not his own death, and it didn't cost him a little fame, so why not do it.
