The wolf smiled, didn't speak, picked up his sword and walked back, but began to think about his next plan.

Two hours later, in Qi Jiguang's camp, in the empty tent of the Chinese military camp, a wolf dressed in night clothes, covered with black cloth and covered his face, only revealing two bright eyes, was sitting opposite Qi Jiguang, the swaying lights in the tent flickered with the whispered narration of the wolf, and the expression on Qi Jiguang's face was also cloudy and sunny under the projection of the light.

After the sky wolf finished talking about what he had seen, he sighed: "General Qi, I'm afraid that tomorrow I will trouble you more." ”

Qi Jiguang nodded: "This is as it should be, if there is a Japanese Kou, the matter will be strict, are you really sure that this Japanese Kou is the last time you saw it in Nanjing City?" Did Hu Butang really allow these would-be robbers to come ashore to negotiate? ”

Heavenly Wolf knew that Hu Zongxian didn't tell Qi Jiguang all about the plan to suppress the widows, so he nodded: "Yes, in addition to the scarface headed by the leader, there are more than a dozen of them that have been seen in Nanjing, and they can't be wrong, but the two leaders, Xu Hai and Mao Haifeng, have not appeared." General Qi, you also know the current situation of the army, the new recruits are temporarily embarrassed and useful, it will take a year or two to train an army that can fight with the Japanese invaders, and it is difficult to completely destroy the Japanese by relying on the wolf soldiers alone, and in addition the traitors in the DPRK and China are in power, it is difficult to make a final decision with the Japanese in this case, so we can only use the procrastination trick to pretend to negotiate peace with the Japanese first, so as to reduce their attacks on our coastal areas and buy time. ”

Qi Jiguang shook his head: "But these widows negotiate on the front foot, aren't they doing bad things here on the back foot?" If Hu Butang does this, he will give Yushi a handle to impeach. ”

The wolf's heart sank. Qi Jiguang's words reminded him, he thought about it carefully, and nodded: "Not bad." Maybe this is a poisonous plan set up by Yan Shifan, sending the Japanese to stir up trouble here, and then making the matter public, and then sacrificing a few ronin subordinates to shake out the matter that Hu Butang and the Japanese have private negotiations, and those officials of the Qing school will definitely make a big fuss. wrote a letter of impeachment, and the emperor could not say that he nodded too much about this, and would only use Hu Butang as a scapegoat. ”

Qi Jiguang sighed: "Sky Wolf." Do you know that although Hu Butang has not taken much care of Zheng Bichang and He Maocai, members of the Yan Party, in recent years, he must also ensure the most basic anti-Japanese funds every year, and the emperor wants a lot from Zhejiang. These corrupt officials did not dare to touch the emperor's taxes. I started the idea of leveling the military expenses, that is, the cost of recruiting new soldiers, and Hu Butang took a lot of pains and pains, snatching food from the mouths of these people, they are the people who hate Hu Butang the most now, since Shi Wenliu has been colluding with the surname Zheng He and the surname He, maybe this matter is the mastermind of these two people who killed a thousand knives. ”

The wolf's eyes flashed: "So tomorrow's top priority." If you want to take down Na Shi Wen Liu, you must catch the thief and take the stolen goods. Capture those few widows alive, force them to explain their relationship with Shi Wenliu, and never let them splash dirty water on Hu Butang's body. ”

Qi Jiguang's brows tightened: "Heavenly Wolf, do you have any good plans now, you can take Shi Wenliu in one fell swoop under such a complicated situation tomorrow, not only without hurting the people of Yiwu, but also reducing the casualties of those bandits, and even more so to take down those widows." ”

Tianluo thought about it carefully, and said: "Now I think the key to the matter lies here in the people of Yiwu, although I have done my hand and foot on those swords, but if the Japanese are in front, or some people change their knives at night, then tomorrow the fight will be killed, and the Yiwu people may lose control, and when the crowd is crowded together to fight, those Japanese will fish in the water and start killing, this situation is something we must try to avoid, General Qi, maybe I will have a night meeting with that Chen Dacheng tonight, I'll need to borrow some of your men tomorrow. ”

Qi Jiguang nodded: "Do as you say!"

An hour later, Chenjia Village, in the north of Babao Mountain, Yiwu County, under a small slope more than ten zhang high outside the village, surrounded by a crowd of black presses, the old man with gray hair, down to the children who are only in their early tens, all holding hoes, stationed with a flat shoulder, squeezing the bottom of this small slope to the bottom of the water, and in the small courtyard of an ancestral hall on the small slope, at this time it is still brightly lit, more than 20 people are sitting in front of a sand table, looking at a person about 30 years old, dark skin, broad shoulders, The strong man with a strong force held a wooden stick and kept gesturing on this sand table.

This strong man only has a white cloth coat on his body, and his strong and developed muscles are shining under the light, and the purple scars look shocking, but he seems to be fine, with the movements of his hands, the developed muscles of his upper arms are constantly rising and falling like small steamed buns, showing a masculine charm.

This strong man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face is heroic, it is Chen Dacheng, the patriarch of the Chen family who once served as an officer and served as a head catcher in this county after retiring, the cause of this incident is precisely because when Chen Dacheng led people to negotiate with Shi Wenliu, he was arrested and beaten by Shi Wenliu indiscriminately, and many of the blood scabs from the whiplash on his body are still there, which also shows everyone the injustice and grievances he has encountered.

Because Chen Dacheng went out to see the world, served as an officer and a head catcher, and had a certain command ability, so there are ninety-nine out of a hundred people who have never been out of Yiwu in their lives. Gradually, he gained the upper hand, and Chen Dacheng's prestige was unprecedentedly strengthened with successive victories.

At this time, Chen Dacheng was discussing tomorrow's tactics with the chief of more than 20 townships, at first he let everyone gossip about their own opinions, and now it has reached the stage of summarizing and assigning orders, this Chen family ancestral hall has become the temporary command of the Yiwu people in the past few months, and the thousands of villagers under the slope are the best protective wall.

When Chen Dacheng was talking in a daze, he suddenly felt a flower in front of him. At some point, a person wrapped in black appeared in front of him, in the dark of this summer night. Like a ghost, people don't feel a trace of warmth, and a pair of eyes that shine through the outside, like cold stars in the starry sky, staring at themselves motionless.

The township chiefs around Chen Dacheng reacted at once, and the two of them shouted "There are assassins" and "protect Patriarch Chen", while sacrificing themselves in front of Chen Dacheng. Everyone else also woke up like a dream, and they formed a wall one after another to protect Chen Dacheng.

The person who came was none other than the wolf. The impassable slope was enough to hold off thousands of officers and soldiers, but for him, it only took a thousand miles to resist the wind to come up easily, he waved his hand. He said in a deep voice: "Patriarch Chen." In the next place, there is no malice. ”

Chen Dacheng lined up the few people in front of him, at this moment, more than 100 sturdy men have poured in under the slope, blocking the door of the ancestral hall tightly, the torches in everyone's hands suddenly made this small area brighter a lot, and the Yiwu people one after another "catch the assassin" sound with the hurried sound of gongs and bangs, noisy in this quiet countryside exploded. It is a mixture of dog barking and rooster crowing, and it boils and boils.

Chen Dacheng carefully looked the wolf up and down. Nodding, he turned to the people at the door and said, "You guys should retreat first." Be quiet. ”

A few sturdy people at the door hurriedly said: "Big brother, no, this person is from an unknown background, and he is dressed like this, and he suddenly came here for some reason, I am afraid of bad intentions." ”

Chen Dacheng shook his head: "His martial arts are very high, if he wants to take my life, he can make a move just now, since he took the initiative to show up, and said that there is no malicious intent, it should not be sent from the other side." Friend, what do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, if your affairs are upright, here are our folks in Yiwu, there is nothing to hide. ”

The heavenly wolf took out a token given by Hu Zongxian from his arms and threw it to Chen Dacheng: "Patriarch Chen, look at this." ”

Chen Dacheng stretched out his hand and grabbed the token in his hand, and saw it in the light of the fire, he had also been in the army for a few years, of course he recognized this kind of military token, and the four big characters of the governor of Zhejiang directly engraved on the front made him understand the identity and status of the person who came.

Chen Dacheng nodded, and threw the token back to the Heavenly Wolf: "It's disrespectful, it turned out that the lord sent it, but since Your Excellency is a member of the public family, why do you hide your head and tail like this, and don't show your true face?" ”

As soon as Chen Dacheng's words came out, the hearts of the people around him fell to the ground, but then a few people shouted: "Big brother, is this person sent by the government, there are no good people in the government, we can't fall for them." ”

"That is, if it weren't for the favoritism of the government, how could that unscrupulous businessman surnamed Shi be so bold, big brother, I think this guy is a lobbyist for the surname Shi, we must not listen to him!"

The wolf's eyes flashed: "It's not all the way to the ordinary government, Brother Chen should know that the reason why I came to see you like this is because I have to suffer, Brother Chen, there are many people here, please take a step to speak." ”

Chen Dacheng groaned for a moment and gritted his teeth: "For that adult, I will believe you once." Brothers, please be calm and don't be impatient, I'll talk to this person and I'll get back. ”

A few people on the side wanted to speak again, but Chen Dacheng waved his hand: "I have seen this person's token, not those dog officials in Hangzhou City, don't worry, I will talk about it in advance." As he spoke, he threw down the wooden stick in his hand, made a gesture of invitation to the wolf, and strode into the hall where the tablets of the ancestors of the Chen family were placed in the ancestral hall.

The heavenly wolf followed Chen Dacheng and walked in, and the rest of the township chiefs were respectful of Chen Dacheng, and they didn't take a step forward, standing outside dozens of steps away, staring at the two people in the ancestral hall with hundreds of pairs of eyes in unison.

After the heavenly wolf entered, Chen Dacheng turned his head to face him, and said coldly: "Friend, I came here alone with you because I gave Governor Hu a face, you can say anything directly, but if you want to be a lobbyist for the surname Shi, don't open your mouth." My surname Chen is a ghost, and I will not bow my head to him. ”

Tianluo waved his hand: "Chen Dacheng, you are also a soldier and a fast catcher, you should know that Hu Butang is not the same person as those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how can he support Shi Wenliu." ”

Chen Dacheng snorted heavily: "I don't believe anyone now, and the officials protect each other." I have seen this kind of thing a lot, if Hu Zongxian is really a good official, why hasn't this matter been solved for almost four months. I didn't send troops until today, but when the army came, they didn't catch the bad guys, and they wanted you to come to me in a sneaky way. ”

Sky Wolf took out his Jinyiwei gold medal from his arms and handed it to Chen Dacheng: "You can take a look at this first." ”

A trace of doubt flashed on Chen Dacheng's face, and when he took the gold medal, his eyes widened suddenly, obviously much more reactive than when he got Hu Zongxian's waist card just now. Raising his head, Chen Dacheng looked at the wolf carefully: "Are you Jinyiwei?" Or the deputy commander-in-chief? ”

The Sky Wolf took the token and nodded, "Not bad." I am the deputy commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei, codenamed Sky Wolf, Chen Dacheng, you should understand my sincerity by now. ”

Chen Dacheng's brows furrowed: "I heard that there is a person named Heavenly Wolf in the Jinyi Guard. When the Mongols invaded, the White Lotus Sect was leveled. You also entered the Mongolian camp at night to assassinate Altan Khan, is that you? ”

Tian Wolf didn't expect that his name would even be known to Chen Dacheng in this poor countryside, so he couldn't help but smile dumbly, but he was still a little proud in his heart: "It's here, how can Brother Chen also know about this?" ”

Chen Dacheng laughed: "That's what happened last year when I was the head catcher, if you were a wolf, I would assassinate the Mongolian Khan at your risk, and my surname Chen would believe you this time." Say, what are you doing with us this time? ”

Sky Wolf didn't expect the conversation to be so much more than the original Shun lì. Secretly happy in his heart, he nodded: "Chen Dacheng, you should know what our Jinyiwei does, we will not be dispatched unless it is a rebellion or a major case of collaborating with the enemy, and I am here today for this matter." ”

Chen Dacheng was slightly stunned, and his face was angry: "Why, the court thinks that we are gathering people to rebel?" ”

The Celestial Wolf shook his head: "No, I am here for the sake of the Celestial Lord. According to the information I have now, Shi Wenliu is suspected of being a cross-fertiliser, and today he has recruited people back, but this time it is no longer the people of Longquan in nearby Yongkang, nor the bandits and bandits in Fujian and Zhejiang, but the authentic Oriental Japanese bandits. ”

Chen Dacheng was so shocked that he took a step back: "Damn, this dog thief is really a thief." Lord Skywolf, since you have the evidence of his conspiratorship, and now you have an army with you, why don't you go out and take him down now? What's the use of coming to us? ”

Chen Dacheng's move caused a commotion among the people outside, and a few anxious steps forward were a few steps forward, their worried expressions overflowing. Chen Dacheng hurriedly stood up and waved his hand: "It's okay, this brother is his own person, don't worry." Only then did the people outside relax and retreat.

Chen Dacheng turned around and calmed down his feelings: "Lord Tianluo, please can you answer the question just now, we only have tens of thousands of ordinary people here who don't know martial arts and have no training, just want to help you catch the Japanese invaders, but I am afraid that there is nothing you can do, your martial arts are so high, you can come and go freely in the Mongolian camp, and you can't clean up a few Japanese invaders?" ”

The Heavenly Wolf smiled slightly: "The matter of the Wokou is very complicated, if it weren't for the internal and external collusion, they would not be able to have the momentum they have now. ”

Chen Dacheng didn't know anything about the Japanese Kou, and he frowned: "Internal and external collusion? Are you saying that someone in the government is colluding with the Japanese pirates? ”

Tianluo nodded: "Chen Yishi, in order to show my sincerity, I might as well reveal some news to you, this Japanese robber looks like killing people and setting fires and attacking towns, but in fact, what they want is to force me to open the sea ban and do business with them, and as long as they do business, there will be oil and water to be made, so from the imperial court to the local officials, there are some scum secretly exchanging money with the Japanese invaders, which is also the reason why our army fights against the Japanese and has been defeated repeatedly, Hu Butang is precisely because he saw through this, so he transferred famous generals from other provinces, For example, General Qi and General Yu are training recruits, and this time General Qi Jiguang and Qi brought newly trained sergeants. ”

Chen Dacheng's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, and he slapped his left palm with his right fist: "Damn, the court should have done this a long time ago, Lord Tianluo, let me tell you the truth, I also achieved the general flag in the army back then, and there were dozens of brothers under my hands, but because of the corruption of the army, if I wanted to promote hundreds of households, I had to go through the door to hand over the silver, so I took off this military uniform and returned to the township in anger. I was also corrupt and perverted the law as soon as I took office, and I didn't want to go along with him, so I resigned from my post and returned to my hometown. ”

Sky Wolf smiled and took off the face towel, revealing the face after the disguise: "Chen Zhuangshi, this face is not my original face, I need to change my face to perform the task, please forgive me, but when I was in the southeast, I used this face." ”

Although Chen Dacheng didn't know the disguise technique, he still nodded: "Lord Heavenly Wolf, since General Qi's recruits have been formed, are they here to catch the Japanese Kou this time, you are here to be our guides, no problem, we are familiar with the road here, I can lead you to the camp where the surnamed Shi's subordinates are located now." ”

Heavenly Wolf waved his hand: "No, Chen Zhuangshi, you listen to me." The imperial court is now at war with Mongolia in the north, and its financial revenue depends entirely on the southeast, so as a last resort, Hu Butang can't arrest all the officials here for the time being, otherwise these people will be in a bad group, so that the court can't collect taxes, and Hu Butang himself can't stay.
