According to the news from Dong Qinghai, he has led a team to chase him to Shanghe County. The vicinity of Texas is considered peaceful, but the atmosphere in the city of Texas is still relatively tense, because there are still more than 10,000 people gathered at the docks, and no one knows if there are still cultists lurking inside.

The days still have to pass, two days ago, the city gate of Texas was opened, but the people who came in and out were strictly checked, and the household registration was indispensable. There are also many wanted lists posted at the gate of the city, with portraits and character information on them, but after Zhu Houwei saw it, he sighed, "It turns out that abstraction is an ancient Chinese invention, many years earlier than the West." ”

The water and land battalions were stationed near the docks, which brought a huge sense of security to the people of Texas. On that day, the water and land battalions blew the ancient decay, and won more with less, and many people on the city wall saw it, and the reputation of being good at fighting quickly spread throughout Texas. Zhu Houzhao and his entourage were in the water and land camp, and dozens of people soon entered the city.

In ancient times, waterways were very important modes of transportation, and cities that developed on the basis of very important canals were undoubtedly very prosperous. As a county seat, Dezhou has a population of more than 600,000 people, which has surpassed the capital cities in the southwest. Entering the city, people come and go, shops are lined up, and people are noisy and neighing, a prosperous scene.

The unique military uniforms and weapons of the amphibious battalion attracted the attention of many people, and some people with more cheerful personalities also greeted Zhu Houzhao with a smile, which made Zhu Houzhao feel satisfied in their hearts.

Zhu Houzhao and they came to Texas mainly to eat first, with the intention of inquiring, and by the way, they also tasted food.

Shiwei is in the middle of the county, and it takes a while to walk through. Zhu Houzhao didn't have horses and carriages, so they walked slowly. Suddenly, from the gate of a house called "Minfengju", a man was thrown out of the gate by four or five thug-like people, followed by a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper, and shouted loudly, "Beat me, beat me hard." Dare to eat overlord meals in our store, I feel that my life is too hard, right? ”

Four or five thugs also went up to punch and kick, but the man who was beaten did not say a word, and did not even hold his head and shrink to protect the vital point. Fortunately, those thugs were also measured and didn't hit the vital places.

Zhu Houwei is in a good mood, after the matter here in Texas is dealt with, he can go back to the capital, and he will be out for more than two months, and he will miss his relatives very much.

Zhu Houwei took a few steps forward, walked to the shopkeeper, and said, "Okay, stop." How much silver can you have for a meal, is it really fatal? As soon as Zhu Houwei spoke, many people around him also spoke, "Yes, shopkeeper Li, just a few dollars of silver, do you still want to get involved in a lawsuit?" "Shopkeeper Li is usually a kind-hearted person, why did he change his personality today."

This shopkeeper Li first asked the thugs to stop, and then made a square plan to the surrounding crowd, and said with a bitter face: "Most of you all know me Lao Li, what kind of person I am, everyone knows in their hearts." It's really infuriating today. Pointing to the motionless man on the ground, he said, "This man came to our restaurant for dinner today, and at the end of the day, he ate a total of three pieces of silver." When I said I didn't have any money at the checkout, I thought to myself that it wasn't a big deal, and everyone who was away from home had an inconvenient time. But you have to talk about some rules, or you can put something as collateral, you really can't leave a name, and I have an explanation when the owner asks. In the end, he took a broken sword and gave it to me, saying that it was worth the money. I don't know how much this thing is worth, so I asked him his name, and he didn't reply to me, did he look down on me or what. As he spoke, he threw a broken sword in his sleeve next to the man on the ground. Zhu Houwei suddenly stiffened when he saw the man's motionless body, and his fists clenched and loosened. Looking at the broken sword again, there is basically only one handle left, and the metal is only about five centimeters, no wonder the shopkeeper is not eye-catching.

The onlookers talked about what they said again: "Shopkeeper Li did the right thing", "This person is here to entertain you." Some even said, "I don't even dare to report my name, and if I can't keep it, I'm causing trouble outside the city." ”

Zhu Houwei was a little hungry and wanted to go to eat as soon as possible, so he took out a five-dollar silver and said to Shopkeeper Li, "Okay, I'll give it to you for him." Shopkeeper Li took it carefully and said, "Son, give too much, I'll look for you for change." Zhu Houwei shook his hand and said, "Forget it, just get out of the way." It's not a problem that so many people are stuck here. ”

Shopkeeper Li nodded and went back to the store. The people around saw that the excitement had passed, and they also began to disperse. Only then did Zhu Houwei look at the man lying on the ground pretending to be a corpse. is not small, about one meter eight, his appearance is also good, he is not very old, it is estimated that he is less than thirty, but his current image is not good, his hair is scattered, and the coarse cloth clothes on his body are also dirty, and he can smell the smell of his body when he is closer, his eyes are empty, and he stares at the side of the road in a daze.

Zhu Houwei walked up to him and squatted down. Seeing this, Ma Sanniang also walked next to Zhu Houwei, put her hand on the waist knife, and began to look at the man.

Zhu Houwei glanced at him twice, sighed and said, "Brother, there is no hurdle that people can't pass. You think you're the worst, but it's much worse than you in the world. There is hope in life, live well, for yourself and for your loved ones. As he spoke, he took a piece of silver for about five cents and put it in the man's hand, which was stained with dirt and scars.

The man's pupils regained focus, glanced at Zhu Houwei, nodded almost indiscerningly, slowly stood up, and then staggered away.

Zhu Houwei shook his head, looking like a vicissitudes of life. There are many sad people in the world, and he is also in a good mood today, plus he remembers his past life. The difference is that Zhu Houwei is more hysterical, while the man freezes himself. The moment he jumped off the building, in fact, Zhu Houwei also regretted it, fortunately, this life is good, and he is ready to live well. I hope I can help him.

Ma Sanniang asked with some confusion: "What's wrong?" Suddenly, he looked old. Zhu Houwei rubbed his face, then stretched out his index finger with both hands, put it on his cheek, and pretended to be cute, "You read it wrong." I'm so young, what does it have to do with Gu Xi? "It's obviously a typical example of giving a little sunshine. Ma Sanniang turned around and didn't look at him.

When Zhu Houwei saw the broken sword on the ground, he picked it up, and spent a tael of silver to gain something.

Everyone soon came to Texas to eat first, and the branch here is also high-end and high-grade, everyone went to the private room on the third floor, called a few rooms, and ate together. During the period, the shopkeeper was called up for questioning, and the result was that the shopkeeper would not come until at least two days later. Also, even if the branch of Linqing notifies the shopkeeper, it will not be a day and a half a day to come.

After lunch, a few people didn't have much intention of playing, and went straight to the camp of the water and land camp to rest. I've been running around these days, and I'm too tired to do it.

The next day, Zhu Houzhao and his entourage did not leave the camp, but only sent one person to Shiwei first to wait for news. Ma Sanniang didn't know where she went early this morning, but with her skills, Zhu Houwei was not worried about what she would lose.

It was not until about three o'clock in the afternoon that Ma Sanniang returned to the camp. Zhu Houwei smiled and asked, "Sanniang, where did you go to play today?" Ma Sanniang shook her head slightly, "I met with our people and brought bad news." ”

Zhu Houwei still smiled and said, "What news?" "The team you sent to pursue Luo Xing should have returned in vain, and Luo Xing did not leave the Texas border at all."

Zhu Houzhao frowned, "Do you know where it is?" Ma Sanniang smiled bitterly and shook her head. Texas is bigger, much smaller than the capital. However, compared to ordinary counties, it can be regarded as a large county, and there are many villages around, and it is difficult to find out if you hide in any village. After all, they still have a very large mass base in Shandong.

The room was quiet all of a sudden, and everyone was frowning and thinking about what to do. If Luo Xing is not caught, it will be a dignified sweep for Daming, and with the qualifications of this incident, coupled with the extensive followers of Luojiao in Shandong, maybe there will be even more chaos in a year or two. The combat effectiveness of the Shandong Guard Institute is already obvious to all, and if there is no team with strong combat effectiveness, Shandong will have a lot of fun.

Zhu Houwei suddenly smiled and asked Ma Sanniang, "Is there anything interesting near Texas?" ”
