The crowd stayed in Liujiakou Guancheng for one night, and set off early the next morning. From beginning to end, Ye Sizhong, the president of Qian, who was stationed here, never showed up. Wang Fulin didn't care about this at all. Don't say you don't know, even if you know that he is a new jinshi, as a real military general who has killed Japanese in the southeast with his head, he may not be able to stick to the pole, and not everyone is like Shen Duan or Lu Huaiyuan. After all, Ye Sizhong was born in a big family in Yiwu, and unlike the previous two, he has always been the backbone of the Qi family's army.

Coincidentally, Wang Daokun and Qi Jiguang formed a friendship in Fujian because they fought side by side against the Japanese. Almost all of the Qi family troops built by Qi Jiguang are Yiwu people, and the first official after Wang Daokun is the Yiwu County Commander, and the two of them can be said to have an indissoluble bond with Yiwu. It can be seen that the two can have such a friendship, and they can't do without the word Yiwu.

Not being able to see Ye Sizhong, Wang Fulin was just a little regretful, but on the way to the east, he became familiar with the guide and the soldiers, and they all talked and laughed with each other, and when he learned another news, it was a real regret. This is because Hu Shouren, who was the former deputy chief soldier of Jizhen East Road and was in charge of the Yanhe Battalion, Taitou Battalion, Shimenzhai and Shanhaiguan Roads, was just transferred back to Fujian this year to serve as a chief military officer to pursue and suppress the Japanese pirates -- in fact, they were several pirate groups entrenched in that area. As the highest-ranking general under Qi Jiguang, this person can fight from the southeast to Jizhen, can bear hardships and stand hard work, and is one of Qi Jiguang's most powerful arms.

"The one who went to Yiwu to recruit soldiers was Hu Dashuai, no one expected that he would become the chief soldier so quickly!"

Although it was Wang Fulin who personally borrowed Zhong Nanfeng and the three of them before. But along the way. Zhong Nanfeng didn't take the initiative to get up. There isn't a lot of communication between them. The other two veterans of the Zhejiang army were obviously a little more vigilant and vigilant against people and things because they were deceived by He Si in Nanjing. Over time, there is an obvious estrangement between the three people and the others. They were also aware of it, but the people around Wang Fulin were a circle, the Shen family's uncles and nephews were another circle, and the rest of the pro-soldier guides were still a circle, and they didn't take the initiative to get close. can only be excluded from the periphery.

At this moment, hearing the guide Lao Huang talking about Hu Shouren's achievements in the spittle, Zhong Nanfeng and the other two changed their previous absent-mindedness and listened very energetically.

"How old is Hu Dashuai? In the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing, he began to follow Qi Dashuai to fight against the Japanese, and now he is only thirty-five or sixteen, and his achievements are all shot with one knife and one shot! ”

"Isn't there a rumor among the people that when Hu Dashuai Jiajing was given the title of hereditary commander in the 42nd year, he was only 20 years old? Now that he is still thirty years old? ”

"That's nonsense, Hu Dashuai because his family is a family in the army. When he didn't take office, he was a hundred households, and it seemed to be the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing at that time? It must be that he joined the army at the age of thirteen. I don't let it at home! ”

Finding that a group of people gradually began to argue about Hu Shouren's age, Zhong Nanfeng lost interest, when he saw the two Zhejiang army veterans beside him keep glancing at Wang Fulin, he thought of the situation of the three of them these days, and couldn't help but whisper: "Wang Xiaoguan is also a good person who is righteous, I have a bullish temper, I can't pull my face to cover it, if you want, you can go and say thank you, it's better than being left out of everything by others." ”

The two veterans of the Zhejiang army were all soldiers trained by Hu Zongxian's people back then, not the Qi family army from Yiwu, and they had few battles, and their combat exploits were far less brilliant than the Qi family army, but when they listened to other people's idle talk at this moment, what they noticed was not only Hu Shouren's achievements, but a few people who had been watching Wang Fulin's side. Although these people didn't talk much and were far away, they didn't pay attention to each other this day, but they had been paying attention every day before, so they didn't hear Zhong Nanfeng's words clearly at this moment, they only hummed absentmindedly, and their buttocks didn't move.

Zhong Nanfeng only thought that they were unwilling, so he didn't take it to heart. But it didn't take long for him to get on the road when he had enough rest and was about to go on the road, when he heard two people behind him talking in a low voice.

"You've got it, really?"

"Isn't it Li Erlong, Zhao Sanmazi, who carried a sedan chair in Nanjing and worked as a coachman? Although I don't have a lot of dealings, I will never admit my mistake! ”

"But if that's the case, they should also know us, why haven't they said hello after walking all the way for more than ten days?"

"In the past, they were the people who liked to talk the most, but now they have all become stuffy gourds, and I wonder a lot...... Just ask, or I'll be in a panic! ”

Zhong Nanfeng was a little inexplicable when he heard it, and secretly thought that he was talking about whom, but he didn't expect that the two of them would lead Ma Zhen over. He thought that when these two guys first came to Xifengkou, they were even more reckless and reckless than he was at the beginning, and he was a little uneasy, so he hurriedly led the horse to follow. When he was about to reach Wang Fulin, he saw that the two of them did not go to talk to the little official Wang, but went straight to a few entourage, and he couldn't help but be even more confused. His unspeakable doubts reached the apex when he heard the brainless words that people asked.

"These two brothers, have we met in Nanjing City before?"

The abrupt question was followed by a long silence. After a long while, one of the two people who was asked laughed: "It's really not easy to endure it until now." This is not the place to talk, wait until you find a place to stay in the evening! ”

In Zhong Nanfeng's opinion, this was just prevarication, but seeing that his two companions were a little dissatisfied, they really let it go, he couldn't help but feel even more strange. But then I have to hurry, in this season of cold wind and howling, while riding a horse and hurrying, while talking, it is simply pouring wind into the throat, not to mention the hardships, and it is a big trouble to turn back and get sick. Therefore, he was full of doubts and held it all the way to Jielingkou Guancheng. The general guard here was more attentive, and vacated a lot of rooms to accommodate them, and seeing that the two companions had run to find someone again, he simply followed him again with curiosity. This time, he was taken aback by the fact that he had broken it.

"You are saying that Wang Gongzi gathered all the veterans of the Zhejiang army who were dismissed in Nanjing and opened a dart game together. That's why you followed him? ”

Zhong Nan couldn't help but ask. Only then did I realize that my surprise was not only superficial in the eyes of others. And it's a bit silly to ask. He hesitated for a moment, and then told Wang Fulin about helping to settle his brothers when he was in Hangzhou, who knew that Li Erlong, who was the leader of the four entourages, was not strange at all, but smiled hesitantly: "It's because my uncle said about Hangzhou that we are not convinced." If you want to say that you can play those rabble training training, you can open a dart game. We had formal training and fought in the first place, so why don't we do it? ”

Since Hu Zongxian recruited peasants to train into the army, the family's fields were divided among his brothers and relatives, and after they went back, they had no land to plant, and they didn't have much to do, so they didn't bother to go back to their hometowns, and they only mixed in the city. One of the two is named Feng Zhong. One is named Liu Bo, but everyone else is ranked according to the ranking. Call them the second son, Liu Sanzi. At this moment, they couldn't help but ask in unison, "Uncle? ”

Even Zhong Nanfeng couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you recruit Wang Gongzi?" Why is it called Aunt Wang? ”

Li Erlong realized that he was called Shunkou, and he brought it out unconsciously just now, and suddenly covered it up bluntly: "I'm willing, you care about me?" Anyway, it's not just me, Zhang Xi and Zhang Bing are in charge of a trip to the Nanjing Dart Bureau, and a few of us have no other ability, so we follow my uncle out to Beijing. Feng Er, Liu Sanzi, the two of you almost stabbed a hornet's nest in Nanjing last time, if you hadn't made a fuss about it yourself, it would have almost affected a lot of brothers, so we were afraid that you would make a mess again, so we didn't care about you, I didn't expect you to finally have some eyes, and you actually came over. ”

If others said that, Feng Zhong and Liu Bo would have jumped up, but when they were ridiculed by Li Erlong like this at this time, they just twitched the corners of their mouths. There are so many veterans in Nanjing City, not to mention that they have a good relationship with each other, and there are always some contacts, and now Wang Fulin has almost wiped out those people, but they were almost hurt by He Si and a lot of people, where can there be no guilt?

After all, Zhong Nanfeng has never really served in the army, but his thoughts are different from those of the old soldiers in the house. He calculated carefully, and suddenly found that Wang Fulin's name as a new science and technology scholar might be very bluffing to ordinary people, but only those of them who had really dealt with him could understand his ability in other aspects. In Hangzhou and Nanjing alone, how many people did this Wang Xiaoguan gather? Even if he can't say an order and let people kill people and set fire to him, but he knows very well the morality of his brothers, these old pawns are expected to be no worse, if Wang Fulin is as kind everywhere in other places as in Hangzhou and Nanjing, how many people will work for him?

"Second Brother Li, Third Brother Zhao, are you here?"

Zhong Nanfeng and Feng Zhong Liu Bo, who suddenly fell silent, suddenly heard the crisp and excessively crisp voice outside, and then came back to their senses. But before they could, Li Erlong had already opened the door and turned sideways to let in a junior who was about seventeen or eighteen years old. The three of them recognized that it seemed to be one of Wang Fulin's closest two, but before they could take a second look, the others had already blocked their sight, and they only listened to Li Erlong and Zhao San Mazi talking to people for a long time, and they could only vaguely hear a few words, as if they were explaining their intentions to others. Soon, the afterlife was gone, only to be back again after a while.

And this time, if he brought it over, he asked Li Erlong to accompany Feng Zhong and Liu Bo to go over, but there was no Zhong Nanfeng. In this regard, Zhong Nanfeng only felt as if he was tickling in his heart, and he couldn't say anything, especially when he saw Feng Zhong and Liu Bo going over with deep vigilance and vigilance, and when they came back after about two quarters of an hour, they were just refreshed, and he was even more full of questions. However, Feng Liu and the others didn't notice his depression at all, and Feng Zhong actually said to Li Erlong: "Second Brother Li, don't worry, although Liu Sanzi and I can't go back to Nanjing without pardon, we must work hard next, and we won't lose my uncle's face!" ”

Zhong Nanfeng's eyes widened suddenly. I just went on a trip, and I turned around and called my aunt, what the hell is going on?

Just when he was entangled, Li Erlong opened his mouth and said to him: "The little official said that if you want to go back to Hangzhou, he will try to operate the operation for you, and it is not difficult to find an opportunity to get a pardon." If you want to join the army by Qi Dashuai's side, you can also ask Qi Dashuai to transfer you to the Santun camp, think about it yourself! (To be continued.) )
