"Don't worry about people coming, but be careful in front of you, General!" Before Pang Tianci turned his head, Lei Xianchu fell, and then laughed: "Dead chess, a huge person loses." ”

Pang Tianci turned his head to look, and sure enough, Lei Xianchu had already killed himself, and couldn't help but say absent-mindedly: "It's still an adult's chess game, and the lower officials admire it, admire it." ”

While the two were talking, the sound of the horse's hooves was already from far and near, and when they got closer, they rode a few horses, and when they saw the first person riding under his crotch, Lei Xianchu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he secretly said that there was a big green horse!

It was only a few people who came to Pang Tianci breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Lei Xianchu was calm from beginning to end, he was ashamed of his performance just now, and he also admired Lei Xianchu a little, he was worthy of being a hereditary military attaché, and his courage and insight were stronger than ordinary people.

Lei Xianchu's subordinates have already ordered the soldiers to line up, although there are only a few people on the other side, but the appearance that should be done must always be made, otherwise the guerrilla lord's face must not look good. After the order of several officers, the Gaozhou soldiers reluctantly got up and lined up in front, although it was chaotic, but they finally lined up before those few people dismounted.

Over there, Zhou Shixiang stood still, did not rush off the horse, but observed the opposite side, and then asked the brothers Ge Zheng and Ge Yi behind him: "Is Li Dingguo's soldiers like this?" ”

"If Li Dingguo's soldiers are like this, why should the Tartars be afraid of him?" Ge Zheng glanced at the other side disdainfully, "Most of them are scattered miscellaneous cards summoned by Zhang Xiaoqi, let me see, this surnamed Lei is probably also a miscellaneous product." ”

"What kind of bullshit guerrilla, just this kind of goods, if you really dare to swallow us, you don't need to do it with a thousand households, and I Ge Liu can take care of them."

Since inquiring about Zhang An saying that Gaozhou sent a guerrilla to prepare for the annexation of the Taiping Camp, Ge Liu's heart was on fire, and Brother Hu's bones were not cold, and Gaozhou made the idea of annexing the Taiping Camp.

"Don't act rashly, the person who came is a guest, and he came on behalf of the governor of the four prefectures, before the other party explained his intention, we can't lose our courtesy, otherwise, it will be us who don't take advantage of it."

Zhou Shixiang was afraid that Ge Yi's rough goods would cause trouble, so he told him in advance before turning over and dismounting, and then led the brothers to the front, clasping his fists and saluting as he walked, and asked in a loud voice: "Which one is Lord Leizhou Guerrilla Lei?" ”

"General Hu doesn't have to be polite!"

Pang Tianci only said that the person who came was Hu Quan, and when he saw that the other party looked like Sven, he didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance, so he couldn't help but feel good, and got up with a smile and nodded.

"This official is Lei Xianchu."

Lei Xianchu was not as polite as Pang Tianci, and he didn't even stand, just sat and nodded slightly towards Zhou Shixiang.

In this way, it was natural for the brothers who came with Zhou Shixiang to make a fire, but Zhou Shixiang was silent, stepped forward to Lei Xianchu and arched his hand, neither humble nor arrogant: "Lord Lei came from afar, I have worked hard all the way, please go into the city with me, I have asked people to prepare thin wine for the adults to catch the wind and wash the dust." ”

"It's not necessary to drink alcohol, it's a lot of mistakes, and the official quit it a few years ago."

Lei Xianchu looked Zhou Shixiang up and down, and then stood up, but an attendant on the side quietly took two steps towards him, and then whispered something. After listening to what his entourage said, Lei Xianchu's eyes suddenly became puzzled, and he stared at Zhou Shixiang and said, "You are Hu Quan?" ”

Zhou Shixiang looked at him, and then looked at the entourage with a strange look, and guessed in his heart that the other party was afraid that he had seen Hu Quan, and knew that Hu Quan was a one-armed person, and his appearance was different Hu Quan, and both arms were there, so he was suspicious. didn't hide it at the moment, and said: "It's not Hu Quan below." ”

As soon as he heard that it was not Hu Quan, Lei Xianchu's face suddenly sank: "Where is Hu Quan, why don't you come to see this official?" ”

Without waiting for Zhou Shixiang to reply, Ge Yi, who had long been on fire, preemptively said: "My eldest brother is dead, it's not easy for you to see him." Hmph, even if my eldest brother doesn't die, he is a general, you are a guerrilla, why do you want my eldest brother to come to see you? ”

"Huh?"

Listening to Ge Yi's words with a gun and a stick, Lei Xianchu was furious, and his eyebrows were about to attack. Pang Tianci saw the opportunity quickly, and also rushed to say: "How did General Hu die?" This fork made Lei Xianchu uncomfortable.

Zhou Shixiang was inconvenient to blame Ge Yi for speaking out of proportion, and said a few words briefly about the battle with the Deqing Green Battalion, Pang Tianci couldn't help but sigh after hearing it, whether he was sincere or not, he always sighed a few words for Hu Quan's death.

Lei Xianchu did not sigh, but was surprised: How can these bandits dare to take the initiative to fight the Qing army in Deqing, is their strength very strong?

Surprised but delighted, if the strength of these bandits is not weak, then this trip to Luo Ding is worth it. The minion on the other side didn't like to listen to what he said, but the young man in front of him was very measured, and there was the court standing behind him, and Lord Futai was standing, forgive this chick for not daring to mess around, and after entering the city, he was appeased, and the people left by Hu Quan were all his own.

Thinking of this, his face couldn't help but ease a lot, and after expressing regret over Hu Quan's death, he asked Zhou Shixiang: "Who are you, and what is Luo Ding sending now?" ”

"In the next Zhou Shixiang, the brothers can afford it, and now they are temporarily acting as the leader." Zhou Shixiang said.

"What leader is not a leader? Listening to it, it is arrogant, since you have been recruited, you should regard yourself as an official and a soldier in the future, and promise yourself with the name of the imperial court, and you can't say it again in the future if this leader is not a leader. Lei Xianchu changed his words, "Since Hu Quan is dead, this official will ask the court for him to be sealed, and as for you and others, this official also has his own arrangements." ”

As soon as he heard this, Ge Yi couldn't help but have another seizure, but he was pulled by his brother Ge Zheng, and Zhou Shixiang also turned his head and glared at him, which made Ge Yi hold back his words.

"This is not the place to speak, please enter the city first, and it will not be too late to talk about this tomorrow after the wind and dust are washed."

"It's fine."

Lei Xianchu did not refuse, and introduced Pang Tianci and several subordinates who came with him to Zhou Shixiang, Zhou Shixiang hugged his fists one by one, and then led the way in front and led Lei Xianchu and his party back to the city.

On the way, Xu knew that Hu Quan was dead, and he took away his general Dayin and his subordinates without obstacles, Lei Xianchu was in a very good mood, and it was rare to laugh and talk with Zhou Shixiang, and he also asked a lot about their attack on Luo Ding and Deqing. Zhou Shixiang knew everything, but it was obviously unfinished, and many important places in it were not said to him at all.

Pang Tianci's riding skills are not very good, this way riding has worn his thighs painful, but fortunately, Luo Ding is not far away, so he also holds on, interjecting a few words from time to time, nodding or surprised, and the cooperation is excellent.

Zhou Shixiang didn't forget to knock on the side, wanting to ask why Lei Xianchu, the military attaché, came to Luoding, and where did Zhongcheng Bangjun, the staff of the Ministry of War, go, but just like he deliberately concealed it, Lei Xianchu and Pang Tianci didn't say much about it.

Zhou Shi saw that they didn't want to say, so he didn't ask, but asked about the current situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty, Lei Xianchu was not very clear about this, so he didn't say anything. However, Pang Tianci Xu got some news from his brother Pang Tianshou of the same sect, saying that Sun Kewang, the king of Qin, was leading a large army to confront the Qing army in Hunan, and intended to seize Nanjing along the river.

The seizure of Nanjing along the Yangtze River is a major event, if successful, the revival of the Southern Ming Dynasty is really not a luxury, but Zhou Shixiang knows that his historical memory does not have the battle of seizing Nanjing led by Sun Kewang, but there is a battle of Zheng Chenggong into the Yangtze River, and Sun Kewang's final outcome is to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, which shows that Pang Tianci's statement that the King of Qin waved his army to seize the southern capital is afraid of empty talk.

He asked Li Dingguo, the king of Xining, again, but this is really embarrassing, Lei Xianchu is just a miscellaneous guerrilla under Zhang Xiaoqi, although Pang Tianci has a brother of the same sect who is a eunuch who holds the seal of the seal, but he is only a Qipin Zhi County, and the news that King Sun of Qin is expected to seize Nanjing is still Pang Tianshou unintentionally mentioned two sentences with him, he guessed by himself, where can he really know what the princes are doing.

During the conversation, Lei Xianchu praised the big green horse ridden by Zhou Shixiang more than once, and when he learned that this horse was snatched by Zhou Shixiang from the hands of Yunlong, the general of the Tartar Han Army, Lei Xianchu was even more red-eyed, and his eyes fell on the big green horse several times, so that Pang Tianci didn't hear him speak clearly. In this regard, Zhou Shixiang just kept it in mind and did not care about him.

Later, the two sides had nothing to say, so they hurried all the way without saying a word. In a hurry, I finally saw the broken city wall of Luo Ding before the sun set, but in front of the city gate, I saw a group of soldiers with two carriages parked there, judging from their appearance, it was obvious that they were waiting deliberately

"What's in the car?"

Lei Xianchu galloped to the front of the carriage, and saw that the carriage was full of hay, covered tightly, as if there was some treasure hidden, and couldn't help but wonder, looking at Zhou Shixiang who came from the front and rear feet with a puzzled face. Pang Tianci was also curious, and couldn't help but want to see what was loaded in the car, but Ge Zheng, Ge Yi and others were secretly laughing in their hearts, waiting to see the joke with a straight face.

"It stinks!"

A Gaozhou officer who came with Lei Xianchu saw that his adult was strange, so he wanted to go and open the grass, but before he could approach the carriage, a strange smell made him subconsciously stop, the strange smell was really smelly, and the smoke made his stomach turn over and over, and he wanted to vomit very much.

"What's that? It stinks! ”

At the same time, the Gaozhou soldiers who came over also covered their noses, Pang Tianci's entourage looked at the car with disgust, and Pang Tianci himself also covered his nose, as if he saw a dung truck and hid to the side, no way, the smell from the car was too bad.

"What the hell is it?"

Lei Xianchu's stomach was on fire, he had not yet entered the city but smelled this stench, what did these bandits want to do? Do you want to use the smell of feces to give me a dismount? If that's the case, it's child's play!

Pang Tianci also frowned, and his intuition told him that these two carriages were not loaded with good things, and it was really the bandits who did it with their intentions. He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked Zhou Shixiang: "What is on the car?" ”

Zhou Shixiang said slowly: "The head, the head of the Qing army." ”

"Human heads?!"

Pang Tianci was startled, jumped far away, his eyes widened, and his face was incredible.

"What are the heads afraid of, this official has been fighting in the south and north for so many years, and he has never seen anything!"

Lei Xianchu didn't care at all, and he wasn't afraid, he just thought that Luo Ding's gang of bandits was considering his guerrilla master's courage and deliberately scared him. Since he has the intention of annexing them, he must not show his cowardice in front of them, otherwise how can he obey the people!

As he spoke, he took his hand to pick up the hay on the car, and when he saw the guerrilla master move, two Gaozhou soldiers immediately stepped forward to help, but at the moment when the hay was removed, the three of them all stayed there as if they were evil, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

"What a human head..."

The faces of the two Gaozhou soldiers also turned white, their voices stammered, and their legs trembled.

Lei Xianchu did not turn pale, let alone retreat in fright, but looked at the heads piled up on the car in a daze, and his cheeks couldn't help shaking.
