After hearing this, Zhou Hao was shocked, this person who turned out to be Liu Zeqing's subordinates, I don't know if it was a deliberate arrangement of fate or a coincidence of history, which gave him the opportunity to make friends with Liu Zeqing, a warlord force.

"I've seen Brother Zhou in Xia Wuxiong."

Wu Xiong's words woke Zhou Hao up from his contemplation, and he hurriedly said, "General Wu is good." ”

Cheng Yue looked at Zhou Hao's very confused expression, just now Wu Xiong was noisy, Zhou Hao seemed to be in a fugue, not in a state, I don't know what he was thinking.

Wu Xiong didn't seem to mind at all, and then he put aside Zhou Hao and said to Cheng Yue: "The injury just now was caused by this brother and a person under the command of General Liu, named Shen Tao, and the injury he suffered was not a knife wound, but a firearm. ”

Cheng Yue said: "The injury of a firearm, what is the injury of a firearm?" ”

Wu Xiong said: "It was injured by the arquebus, and the projectile is still in his body, but I can't wait for medical skills and can't take the projectile out." ”

Zhou Hao knew that the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were already very developed in the world, but the Qing Dynasty did not attach importance to the development of firearms at all, so that it completely lagged behind the world.

Cheng Yue said: "I have to find Lang Zhong in this town, otherwise this brother will die." Cheng Yue sent to find the innkeeper and asked if there was any Langzhong in this town.

The innkeeper was dressed in satin-blue silk and reflected his fat body, put down the abacus that he didn't leave his hand, got up and thought about it, and said: "There is a medicine assistant in the east of the town, named Derentang, and there seems to be Lang Zhong in it. ”

Cheng Yue found a guard and asked him to invite Lang Zhong of Derentang as quickly as possible, and the guard took the order, stepped on his horse, and went out through the gate.

Cheng Yue said: "Let's go, brothers, let's go into the house and talk." ”

The wing room on the east side of the inn was full of people, and more than a dozen people who had just come were sitting on chairs, their waists straight, obviously people who had been in the army all year round.

Cheng Yue asked the guards to pour tea for everyone, and then asked, "What happened, Brother Wu won't go into details." ”

The tea was hot, Wu Xiong still took a sip of the tea, obviously caused by the long journey, and then said: "A few days ago, Liu Zongbing and Jiang Huaishang talked with several black and Taoist chief scoop handlers and learned that the big dart bureau kept a property worth tens of millions of taels of gold, so Liu Zongbing was moved and prepared to do a vote. ”

When Cheng Yue heard this, he was shocked, put the teacup that was just about to be sent to his mouth on the table, and exclaimed: "Mr. Liu's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and even the darts of the big dart bureau dare to move. ”

Zhou Hao listened quietly on the side, and was also quite interested in this kind of ancient anecdote.

Wu Xiong said: "Who said no, our brothers in the army heard Liu Zongbing's idea, all opposed, brother, I clearly remember five years ago, Hebei Cangzhou Feiyun Fort and Dafeng Village on Jingnan Road, want to rob the dart of the dart bureau, the dart was not robbed, as a result, Feiyun Fort 321 people and Dafeng Village 313 people were all slaughtered by the Dafeng Bureau, no life was returned, Feiyun Fort and Dafeng Village were completely destroyed, at the same time, Feiyun Castle owner Luo Shicheng and Dafeng Zhai owner Qian Lijie were executed by the Dafeng Bureau Ling Chi, this incident shook the capital area, However, with the strong backing of the imperial court, the big dart bureau not only did not receive any sanctions, but said that Feiyun Castle and Dafeng Village were traitorous forces, and they should be punished. Zhou Hao was shocked, the kind-hearted dart bureau, what kind of organization is the dart bureau, he wanted to ask, but when the two were talking, it was difficult to interject, so he had to listen patiently.

Cheng Yue said: "At that time, my brother I was still selling salt in the Jianghuai area, and sometimes I would move when I encountered a small dart team of business travelers, since I heard about it, I ran into the dart flag of the big dart bureau and avoided it far away, for fear of causing trouble, Liu Zongbing's move was indeed a little bold, but it was just ......"

Wu Xiong said: "Brother, I also led more than 100 brothers to fall into the grass in Xifeng Mountain, and later, Liu Zongbing was frustrated in the battle with Li Zi, so I defected to Liu Zongbing. Later, the army went all the way south, I have some understanding of the things on the rivers and lakes, and I also tried my best to dissuade Liu Zongbing, so that he should not move the dart of the big dart bureau, I know that the eyeliner of the big dart bureau will be spread all over the world, once the matter of our dart robbery is known to the other party, it will not be good. ”

Cheng Yue said: "Yes, back then, Feiyun Castle and Dafeng Village let the Dart Bureau know the news in advance, and the Dart Bureau set up an ambush, only to be dealt a devastating blow." ”

Wu Xiong said: "Mr. Liu listened to the words of my brothers and gave up this idea. At that time, I received your flying pigeon message, and Shen Tao and I were ready to lead a hundred or so people to support you, but I didn't expect to march to Cuiyunling, and met dozens of big men pushing a wheelbarrow, Brother Shen Tao suddenly pulled out a long knife, pounced on one of the big men, and said What Luo Tianqi, finally let me meet you here, it's really a big eye. This time the two sides fought, I saw that I ordered my brothers to come forward to fight, a few of the other side were hard ideas, our people suffered heavy casualties, Brother Shen suddenly did not know who fired a shot in the fierce battle, and immediately fell to the ground, I and my brothers fought to the death, and finally broke out of the encirclement, there were only dozens of people left, and the rest of the brothers were killed. ”

Cheng Yue said: "So that's the case, I don't know what kind of enmity Brother Shen Tao has with that Luo Tianqi?" ”

Wu Xiong said: "Brother Shen Tao has been in a coma, so I have to wait for him to wake up." ”

As he was talking, he heard the sound of hooves in front of him, and after a while, the guard came into the house and saw Cheng Yue and said, "Mr. Cheng, that Lang Zhong of Derentang was taken away by the big dart bureau a few days ago, and now the store is closed." ”

"What!" Wu Xiong stood up in shock, sat down on the chair for a moment, and said, "It seems that Brother Shen is hopeless." ”

Zhou Hao suddenly said, "Can you let me take a look at this Brother Shen's injury." ”

When Wu Xiong heard this, he said, "What's the matter, Brother Zhou can also heal?" ”

Zhou Hao said: "A few years ago, I also served as a soldier and learned a little knowledge of self-help. ”

Wu Xiong was overjoyed and said, "That's really good." ”

Zhou Hao has been in the army for many years, and he has a certain ability to treat all kinds of injuries, especially gunshot wounds, and Zhou Hao will basically treat all kinds of gunshot wounds.

The blood oozing from Shen Tao's body had stained the clothes on it, Zhou Hao gently moistened the clothes with his hands, separating the clothing cloth from his body, Zhou Hao said: "Take some alcohol." ”

Wu Xiong said: "What is alcohol? ”

Zhou Hao remembered that this was ancient times, there was wine in the Ming Dynasty, there may not be alcohol, and even if there was, it could not be found in the inn, so he said: "Is there any wine?" ”

Wu Xiong immediately rushed into the shopkeeper's account and said, "Boss, come here for a few bottles of wine." ”

The shopkeeper said: "We have all kinds of wine here, I don't know which one the guest officer wants, there are the strongest burning knives, there are hundreds of years of Shaoxing daughter red, and there are Suzhou flower carvings." ”

Wu Xiong asked for a jar of each of these three kinds of wine and brought it back to the east wing.

Zhou Hao knew that the most of his daughter's red wine was the strongest, and the strong alcohol was essentially the high concentration of alcohol, so Zhou Hao chose to burn the knife.

Wu Xiong patted the mud seal on the wine jar and poured half a bowl into the bowl, and immediately a strong smell of alcohol filled the whole room, and some soldiers who were good at wine couldn't help but swallow their saliva, but at such an urgent moment, no one dared to offer to drink.

Zhou Hao used a burning knife instead of alcohol, and began to operate on Shen Tao with his own healing methods.

Zhou Hao first used tweezers made of bamboo sticks to take out the projectile from Shen Tao's body, and then bandaged his wound, there was no gauze, and Zhou Hao had to replace it with a clean silk cloth.

Seeing that Zhou Hao's operation was completed, Wu Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Zhou Hao repeatedly.

Zhou Hao knew that getting to know Liu Zeqing was inseparable from the help of Wu Xiong and Shen Tao, so he said: "In the future, they will be their own brothers, so they don't have to be like this." ”

After a while, Shen Tao woke up and looked at the room full of people, very surprised.

Wu Xiong was overjoyed, stepped forward to hold Shen Tao's hand, and said, "Brother Shen, you finally woke up." ”

Shen Tao's voice was weak, and he said, "This is not the Netherworld. ”

Wu Xiong said: "No, this is an inn in Yangliu Town, and this Brother Zhou saved you." ”

Wu Xiong pointed at Zhou Hao as he spoke, and Zhou Hao got up and said, "Brother Shen, rest well, in a few days, your injuries will be healed." ”

Shen Tao said: "Thank you Brother Zhou, I want to drink water." ”

Zhou Hao knew that this was caused by excessive blood loss, so he ordered someone to pick up a bowl of water.

After drinking the water, Shen Tao closed his eyes again.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the street, and from the sound, it was clear that there were more than a dozen people.

Everyone sat down and came out of the chamber so as not to disturb Shen Tao's rest.

Suddenly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves in the street, the sound of hooves colliding with stones, apparently with hooves on them.

Everyone was stunned, and more than a dozen big men came in through the gate.

The horse rode into the gate, the front horse raised its front hooves, led the neck to neigh, the person on the horse pulled the reins of the horse, and after the horse stood still, turned over and dismounted, and then stepped forward and said: "Brother Cheng, don't come to harm." ”

Cheng Yue stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be Brother Zhang." ”

Then he said to Zhou Hao: "This is Brother Zhang Degong, the private sentinel of the Tianjin Yangang Office." ”

The so-called Shiotsuna Office is an official office that is responsible for the management of salt transportation.

Zhou Hao stepped forward and said, "In the next Zhou Hao, I have seen Brother Zhang." ”

Zhang Degong also returned the courtesy.

Zhang Degong was not polite, and said directly to Cheng Yue: "Nanjing wrote a few days ago saying that the salt must be delivered within five days, why did Brother Cheng rest in Yangliu Town these days, and I hope that Brother Cheng will go to Nanjing as soon as possible." ”

Cheng Yue said: "Brother Zhang didn't know, three days ago, this salt was targeted by a group of bandits, afraid of a mistake, so he flew a pigeon and passed a message to let Brother Wu bring an army to support, I didn't expect Brother Wu and Brother Shen to be attacked by strongmen in Cuiyunling, and there were only dozens of casualties left under the hundreds, yesterday I got acquainted with this Brother Zhou in the town, he is a simple method, he is a master, I think it is also a help to us." ”

Zhang Degong paid attention to Zhou Hao and said, "I don't know where Brother Zhou has been?" ”

Zhou Hao said: "It's just walking on the rivers and lakes, but fortunately, General Cheng appreciated it and came to the army to eat." ”
