Zhou Hao has not been in the late Ming Dynasty for a long time, and he is not very familiar with the terrain in this area, so he can only walk all the way and ask people all the way.

Along the way, Zhou Hao didn't see Su Qing'er's shadow, so he simply hired a donkey cart that passed by the side of the road and quickly rushed to Huai'an City.

By the time the towering city wall of Huai'an City appeared in his eyes, it was completely dark, and he could only see the shadow of the city wall.

Zhou Hao only entered the city, the lights in the market were brilliant, and people came and went on the street, Zhou Hao relied on his memory to walk to the place where Su Qing'er met him, where was Su Qing'er's shadow, although the flow of people was like a tide, they were all some unfamiliar faces.

Zhou Hao is now back in the tide of wandering history, he simply put his box on the ground and sat on the box, he really felt like crying.

I don't know how long I waited, but Su Qing'er still didn't come. Zhou Hao began to regret that he asked Su Qing'er to go to Huai'an to wait for him, and Su Qing'er had no money, so it was difficult to walk to Huai'an City, and he didn't think about it at that time.

There were fewer and fewer people on the street, and a cool breeze blew, Zhou Hao reluctantly got up from the ground, lifted the box, found a pavilion, and stayed.

Early the next morning, Zhou Hao went back to that place and began to wait, until noon, he didn't see Su Qing'er's shadow, Zhou Hao decided to get up and go back to Sanglinzi Village, it must be Ma Liang's people who left Su Qing'er in Sanglinzi Village.

At this time, dozens of horses were speeding over the street, and the sound of horses' hooves was incessant, and the sound of trampling on the street was very crisp.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

Immediately, the knight drove the crowd with a horsewhip, and everyone avoided it, and in a moment, the knight arrived in front of Zhou Hao, and a whip rolled straight towards Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao flashed sideways, pinched the end of the horsewhip in his hand with one hand, and shook it hard, and the knight almost threw it off.

"The dog doesn't want to live anymore, and dares to stand in the way of the uncle."

At this time, all the knights arrived in front of Zhou Hao, and several big men rolled their saddles from their horses and dismounted, and some drew out long knives.

"Isn't it looking for death!"

A big man in a big suit with a long knife slashed straight at Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao flashed sideways, and the palm edge of his left hand was cut back to the man's right wrist, and the big man's right hand was in pain, and the long knife fell to the ground.

The rest of the big men were about to pounce on Zhou Hao, only to hear a big man say: "Cut slow!" ”

Everyone stopped suddenly, and at this time, the crowd came to ride, and the person on the horse was wearing a Ming-style military uniform, seeing this, he turned over from the horse, looked at Zhou Hao carefully for a moment, and said: "Dare to ask the surname of the Great Han Zun?" ”

Zhou Hao saw that the other party was showing kindness, so his expression softened and said, "Next Zhou Hao." ”

The big man said: "Wasn't it our just now, I don't know where Your Excellency is high?" ”

Zhou Hao said: "It's just a matter of wandering around the rivers and lakes. ”

The big man heard the words and said: "In Xia Cheng Yue, my subordinates are reckless, and I will pay a compensation first, I see that you have a lot of kung fu, how about you do it under me, I will introduce you to Huang Zongbing in the future, I think Brother Zhou is such a talent, he will inevitably be reused." ”

Zhou Haoqi said: "Mr. Huang? ”

The big man said: "Exactly, General Huang is General Huang Degong." ”

A series of historical events poured into Zhou Hao's heart, Huang Degong was one of the warlords in the late Ming Dynasty who assisted the Fu King Zhu Yousong to ascend to the throne with a strong force, if he climbed Huang Degong, maybe he really stepped onto the political stage of the late Ming Dynasty, history will not change with his own efforts, thinking of this, Zhou Hao's blood surged, and he couldn't help but look at his box, which was a box containing the most advanced weapons in the world.

But Su Qing'er, where did she go, although she didn't get along with her for a long time, she had long fallen in love with this kind and lovely girl, but Zhou Hao, who was very likely to be on the political stage, never wanted to miss this opportunity.

"Then thank you Brother Cheng, I am living in the rivers and lakes and I want to join the army."

Su Qing'er, where are you, it's not your husband's affection, this may be my turning point in this world, please God bless you, you must be safe and sound.

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "For a person like Brother Zhou, who is outstanding in martial arts, I think Mr. Huang can't ask for it." ”

Zhou Hao said humbly: "In the martial arts, I just learned some self-defense skills." ”

Cheng Yue pointed to the big man who whipped Zhou Hao and said: "This whipping you is named Chen Hong, the whipping method is superb, and there are three hundred catties under one whip." ”

Chen Hong turned over and dismounted, bowed to Zhou Hao and said, "I'm sorry just now." ”

Zhou Hao also learned from the ancients and said: "I really don't know each other, and I will ask Brother Chen for help in the future." ”

Chen Hong said: "Zhou Hao's martial arts are outstanding, I should ask you for advice." ”

Zhou Hao said: "Let's learn from each other." ”

Cheng Yue seemed to be interested in Zhou Hao's huge wooden box, and said curiously: "Brother Zhou, what is this box?" ”

Zhou Hao said in his heart, you can't say that this is a powerful modern gun to these ancient times, and it is better to be cautious for people who have just met, and said: "Bring some iron parts below." ”

Zhou Hao was afraid that Cheng Yue would open it and look at it, but fortunately, Cheng Yue didn't ask any more.

At this time, Cheng Yue and dozens of big men all dismounted and walked with Zhou Hao.

Between the lines, Cheng Yue said: "A few days ago, the Li thief broke through the capital, and the northern magnates and gentry transferred their property to the south, and many troops became a dart bureau. ”

Zhou Hao thought to himself, anyway, now that he is alone in the rivers and lakes, it is nothing for me to help protect the salt and money, no matter what, I also have a ability, which can just give full play to my strengths, and I will never suffer a loss when I walk the rivers and lakes in ancient times, and I have to say at the moment: "Although Zhou is not talented, I am willing to help Brother Cheng protect this property." ”

Cheng Yuexi was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Brother Zhou, it seems that my brother has not made friends in vain, let's go to the front restaurant for a meal." ”

As soon as Cheng Yue said this, Zhou Hao felt that he had been hungry for a long time, and said, "I'll let Brother Cheng break the bank." ”

Cheng Yue said: "Brother Zhou is looking down on Cheng when he says this. ”

Zhou Hao smiled: "Then I might as well be respectful." ”

Yuelai Restaurant is the best restaurant in Yangliu Town, with three floors and luxurious interior decoration, all rosewood Eight Immortal Tables, covered with transparent mica stones, semi-circular rosewood chairs.

Zhou Hao and others went to the second floor, Zhou Hao sat down by the window, and through the window, the scenery on the street was unobstructed.

Cheng Yue pointed to the several dishes served on the table, and said: "Please try Brother Zhou, the town is small and sparse, there are no good dishes, these days will be served, and when the brothers arrive in Huai'an, Yangzhou and other places in the coming day, please ask Brother Zhou to eat well." Brother Zhou has been in the north for a long time, and may not know much about the Jianghuai area, and the Qinglou in Yangzhou is also first-class in the country. ”

The dishes on the table are all unknown to Zhou Hao, after Cheng Yue's introduction, what chicken juice snow plum cup, the best double-flavored lion head, Qiandao Lake fish head ......

Zhou Hao looked at these names and sounded very elegant dish names, and he didn't feel that his index finger moved, so he moved his chopsticks, and the dish was in his mouth, and the taste was indeed delicious, and it was not a famous Jianghuai dish.
