Nandianzi's inn was originally to entertain guests and horse gangs from all over the world, the so-called upper room is not much of a good condition, just cleaner, the kang is solid, the other rooms are large shops, a kang can sleep more than a dozen people, four large rooms can live all the people of the Song family's horse gang.

Song Biao didn't sleep all night yesterday, so he went to the room to sleep for a while, and the wounded were also arranged to take care of him in his room.

Song Biao slept very soundly this night, the kang was more comfortable and real than the heating, and even the hard work and tiredness of the day could be dispelled, and after waking up, the whole body was also hot and comfortable.

He slept until late in the evening before he was woken up by Li Dahan, and it turned out that Liu Tongpao and Liu Ye personally brought people over.

People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, bandits rely on guns, soldiers rely on cannons, Song Biao's current outfit is similar to that of a Russian lieutenant from a noble background, which is really majestic, and how many foreign guns is worth in his outfit, the beards in the Northeast know in their hearts.

Song Biao was dressed neatly before leading people all the way down, what he did between his beards was the ability to pretend, and Zhao Tingzhu followed him all the way with more than a dozen people, looking majestic and very frightening.

Entering the store, Song Biao raised his eyes and saw an old man over forty-five years old sitting at the tea table, wearing a black leather jacket, a dogskin hat probably mink, brown and shiny, at first glance, it was a genuine high-grade product.

Beside this person, Hu Erye stood by with more than a dozen beards, and they all sat down, while the old golden head sat side by side with this person and chatted, talking very happily.

Song Biao stepped forward quickly, and as soon as he saw him, the old golden head immediately got up and introduced to the old strong man: "Master Liu, this is the new gang leader of our Ma Gang, surnamed Song Mingbiao." ”

"Oh......!"

That Liu Ye seemed to be very surprised, probably didn't expect Song Biao to be so young, and immediately got up and hugged Song Biao with a smile and said: "Biao Ye is so powerful, he is really a hero out of a young man, I Liu Tongcang admires it!" ”

Song Biao hugged his fists and said: "Liu Ye has won the award, I am grateful to be entertained by Liu Ye." ”

Liu Tongpao smiled, but he didn't think so, and said: "It's easy to say, they are all brothers in the rivers and lakes, since Biao Ye has not been very convenient recently, you can rest in my small temple for a few days." Everyone is a friend, Master Biao, the use of the horse gang in the past few days is all counted in my Liu Tongcang's account. ”

"This?"

Song Biao was a little surprised by Liu Tongcang's "hospitality", but he didn't decline, and said: "Then thank you Liu Ye, my batch of goods is actually in a hurry, and now that the snow has stopped, I will go on the road after a few days of rest!" ”

Liu Tongcang said with a smile: "These things are easy to say, Master Biao, I heard the old golden head say that you have defeated more than a dozen soldiers by yourself, and you are really admired." No wonder I heard the gunfire at the mouth of the Hunjiang River a few days ago, presumably you were outflanked by the little devils, but unfortunately I have insufficient troops, I know that it is a big formation when I hear the gunshots, and I dare not rush up to help, I hope you will bear with me, if you don't mind, tonight, I will personally do it to your horse gang brothers to accompany you. ”

Song Biao said: "Liu Ye is serious, as soon as the gunshot rang out, we all know that it is my own thirty rifles and the water beads of Russian Maozi, they are fighting so lively in the Northeast at the moment, who dares to get involved, but pity our villagers in the Northeast are displaced, miserable!" ”

Liu Tongpao couldn't help sighing, and said: "What Biao Ye said is right, a few days ago, there were a group of homeless people from Fengtianfu who came to me to ask for a bowl of rice, but fortunately, I have a lot of land around Nandianzi, so I can barely settle them." Having said that, this is also a drop in the bucket, Hunjiang County is full of displaced people, I heard that there are tens of thousands, alas, if it continues to be tossed like this, our people in the Northeast will really suffer, maybe, even our brothers who rely on the mountains to eat will have no jobs. ”

Song Biao thought to himself, what are you afraid of, you occupy a thousand rings of land around Niujiabao and rent it to others to plant, and guard the copper and gold mines, there are more than a dozen copper cannons, and you also open an inn, what are you afraid of? It's amazing that bandits can do this step for you.

He always felt that Liu Tongpao was motivated, and he was not in a hurry to talk, so he took the big bowl of tea sent by Zhao Tingzhu and took a sip, pondering in his heart for a moment before asking, "I don't know what Liu Ye thinks?" ”

Liu Tongpao smiled and said: "Actually, I don't have any high opinions, it's not good at the moment, everyone has to find another way to live, just like you go to the Russians." A few days ago, Xiao Yueben also sent someone to contact me, and they offered me a price, willing to sell me a batch of guns and ammunition at half price, and let me kill the Russians, and for every Russian killed, they would give me ten silver yuan. ”

Song Biao was not surprised, during the Russo-Russian War, there were "allies" everywhere in the Northeast, which had a great impact on the logistics of Tsarist Russia, which was directly related to Tsarist Russia's previous domineering and evil behavior in the Northeast, and also had something to do with the Qing political axe secretly helping Yueben, and now Yuan Shikai, the governor of Zhili, quietly sent dozens of capable subordinates to move around in the Northeast to spy on intelligence for him.

He replied quite simply: "Master Liu, this is also a good deal, it's always a good thing to buy guns and ammunition at half price!" ”

Liu Tongpao snorted: "Fart, it's beautiful, as soon as I opened my mouth to buy 600 rifles, they said that they would supply them within half a month, but they haven't landed yet." I can see that the two countries are not good at fighting in our northeast, and both of them are uncomfortable, and Xiao Yueben can't sell some guns and ammunition now. That's choking. ”

Song Biao said: "Six hundred guns is a little more." ”

Liu Tongpao asked: "Master Biao, you and my brother tell me the truth, how about the benefits that the Russians have given you, if it is good, let's follow the Russian Maozi together." I have someone in my hand, your team can take the cargo, Guo Siye of the Red Clay Cliff was also discussing with me a few days ago, if we make a team of thousands of people, then we will have the capital and the asking price of Russia, and we will definitely be able to make an extra profit! ”

Song Biao still laughed dryly and said: "Liu Ye's words are true, there are too few people from all walks of life, and there are not enough guns, so we are not qualified to negotiate conditions with others." ”

Liu Tongpao said: "Then let's negotiate here, you and I will cooperate, pull a big team together to negotiate with Russia, whoever pays the highest price, we will help whom!" ”

Song Biao sighed: "We can't just ask to make money, we can't do things that betray the country." ”

Liu Tongcang said: "Master Biao, are you making a mess here, do you think, even the imperial court and the feudal officials don't take the northeast of the country seriously, what else should we do, not to mention that his two dogs eat dogs, the more fierce the bite, the better, let's do something to add fuel to the fire!" ”

Song Biao arched his hand in awe: "Master Liu, what you said makes sense, I have been taught, then you allow me to discuss it with my brothers in the next few days?" ”

Liu Tongpao smiled: "Naturally, but you have to be careful, this is said to be coming, they are not easy to provoke, although I Liu Tongpao has more than a dozen copper cannons, but this thing can also scare the grandsons of the imperial court, and I can't scare myself, in case I can't stop it, don't blame me Liu Tongpao for not being righteous!" ”

Song Biao said: "Liu Ye is willing to entertain us for a few days, I am already grateful, how dare I blame it?" ”

That's just saying that, Song Biao always felt that Liu Tongpao wanted to take the opportunity to eat his team.

After all, Liu Tongcang is Liu Tongcang, I heard that others are in trouble, and there are more than 40 foreign guns and more than 40 horses in his hand, and this thief's heart immediately rose. Perhaps in Liu Tongcang's opinion, Song Biao, who is unknown, may not have much real ability, and the team of forty or so people can have anything to fear, although they are dressed like dogs, so what can they do, can they be more powerful than the dozen copper cannons in his hand?

Song Biao realized that he was actually a little self-defeating, he didn't expect Liu Tongcang's ambition to be so big, and even the team related to the Russians dared to swallow it alive.

Between the conversations, Song Biao has been quietly paying attention to the equipment of Liu Tongcang's brothers, and he can see very clearly that Murata Type 22 rifles are more equipped here.

Although the Murata Type 22 rifle is a product that the army is eliminating, the output of the 30 rifles has not kept up, and the Murata Type 22 rifle is still one of the main equipment of the army, so Song Biao has a hunch that the connection between Liu Tongpao and Xiao Yueben may not be as simple as a month or two, and Liu Tongpao only deliberately belittled Xiao Yueben in front of him.

With Xiao Yueben's support, Liu Tongpao is wealthy, and I am afraid that he already has a team of 300 foreign guns.

Even if this is the case, Song Biao is not in a hurry, he knows his ability very well, and he does not believe that Liu Tongcang is more difficult to deal with than a reinforced platoon of Yueben infantry squad. If Liu Tongpao is really deeply involved with himself, he really hopes that Liu Tongpao will take the initiative to send him to the door to beat him, without further ado, one shot can explode Liu Tongpao's head.

The characteristics of this kind of armed bandit are very simple, if you shoot the leader of the big boss, it is easy to scatter the birds and beasts below, and it cannot be compared with the regular army, unless it is the green battalion of the Qing army, which is inferior to the bandits.

That night, Liu Tongpao warmly entertained the Song family's horse gang, with chicken, duck and fish, and opened more than ten jars of soju, Song Biao also drank a few more bowls, and soon returned to the room to rest on the grounds of limited alcohol.

It's not that Song Biao isn't worried about this kind of thing, the legendary killer in the rivers and lakes - Mengsweat medicine is indeed there, but this thing is really not easy to dissolve in water, do you think, can the formula handed down in ancient times be instant?
