Nanao Island, the yamen of the right camp of the town standard, and Xiao Sheng, the guerrilla of the right camp of Nanao Town, also looked at the two people blankly, Zhang Ying and Zhang Ding.

Zhang Ding has been following Xiao Sheng and acting as Li Shi's liaison, while Zhang Ying has been hiding in Xin'an, Guangdong, helping Li Shi cover up the Hong Kong base.

When the news came that the imperial court was going to do it earlier, Xiao Sheng was worried about Li Shi's situation, so he sent Zhang Ding back to investigate, but he didn't want to go for more than a month, and he didn't come back until now, and he also brought the news that Xiao Sheng's whole soul was scattered, Li Shi ...... On the contrary, the flag was raised, and the king was proclaimed.

Zhang Ying followed Zhang Ding, the intention couldn't be clearer, these two brothers are already Li Shi's minions, Zhang Ding wants to enter the study hall of the Tianwang Mansion as an official, Zhang Ying also wants to go to the Huangpu Martial Arts School to study, and when he comes to see Xiao Sheng, he is naturally a lobbyist.

Liang Deguang on the side couldn't stand the cold atmosphere anymore, gritted his teeth and said to Xiao Sheng: "Boss, General Rong still doesn't know our roots, but Shi Junmen is clear!" Right now, he is gathering troops to prepare for war, but he has left our right battalion cold here, and his precaution could not be more obvious! ”

Xiao Sheng's dull eyes finally turned, and he nodded with a wry smile: "That's right, Shi Junmen is waiting for the reaction of the imperial court, otherwise I don't know what to do with me, I, the official of the imperial court, after all, have a brotherly relationship with the rebel leader." ”

Zhang Ying and Zhang Ding frowned, and Zhang Ying said in a deep voice: "Boss, this is how you see the fourth brother...... No, the king's? That's how you see yourself? ”

Xiao Sheng's eyes were in a trance: "I only know my fourth brother, I don't know Li Tianwang, and I have been eating the court's Yulu, and I can't get rid of the identity of this court official." ”

Liang Deguang was anxious: "Boss, even if the court wants to ask you for the crime, you still have to work hard for this court!?" ”

Looking at his three old subordinates, Xiao Sheng sighed: "In my Xiao Sheng's life, nothing else has fallen, a word of loyalty can no longer be lost, I am loyal to my brothers, and I am also loyal to the court......"

He shook his head hard: "My brother is in trouble, I, Xiao Sheng, sacrifice my life to save it!" The court wants me to fight, and I will sacrifice my life to fight! It's that simple! ”

Looking at Zhang Ying and Zhang Ding, Xiao Sheng seemed to be a broken jar: "I won't listen to anything that King Li wants you to say!" I just want to hear from my fourth brother! ”

Zhang Ying and Zhang Ding glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders and were speechless, and then Zhang Ying took out a letter.

"Those words just now are the brothers persuading the boss, not the fourth brother, what he wants to say is in the letter."

Xiao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, just now Zhang Ying Zhang Ding persuaded him to go back to Guangdong to join Li Shi, with the word "loyalty" in his heart, he couldn't do such a thing. I thought that the brotherhood with Li Xi was going to be broken, but I was full of entanglement, and I said these words with a stubborn face. It's right that he eats court food, but if he hadn't had Li Shi, how could he have eaten so sweet now? It is estimated that it is just a small additional foreign commission, managing a group of poor soldiers in the countryside, and living by protecting the black.

When he opened the letter, Xiao Sheng was stunned, and after a while, the corners of his eyes were hot, and he quickly turned his head to cover it.

"If Shi Shibiao wants to drive you into battle, remember not to come within two hundred steps, my sharpshooters don't recognize you. If he wants to arrest you and put you in jail, I am ready to save you. What do you want to do, just follow your heart, just don't lose your life, I have a daughter-in-law and a disciple, and now I have a courtier, but I don't have a brother, I can't bear to lose you. ”

Li Shi's words are very simple, in addition to the taste of brotherhood, there is also a strong and incomparable self-confidence, which also makes Xiao Sheng feel relieved. In his opinion, Li Xi is still saying that when he sees him on the battlefield, he Xiao Sheng is definitely not an opponent, and outside the battlefield, he can still control the situation, anyway, he doesn't care about being an enemy with a person who is familiar with his roots.

"Go back and tell the fourth brother, my brother, he forgot the best. Beam pole, you go with it. ”

Xiao Sheng bitterly picked up the letter, and then beckoned Liang Deguang.

"Boss! If you don't go, how can I go? ”

Liang Deguang hesitated for a while, and then shook his head resolutely, if he really left, there was no one around Xiao Sheng, and it was not easy to take care of anything that happened.

"Worried about what I'm going to do? The fourth brother is worth worrying about, and if you are willing to help him, you can go. ”

Xiao Sheng said helplessly.

Zhang Ying, Zhang Ding, and Liang Deguang also looked at each other, and then they both smiled.

"Boss, I think it's the court that should be worried, what's the fourth brother worried about? He took Guangdong with less than 10,000 people, and now he is expanding his army on a large scale, and when he has 100,000 people, the emperor of Yanjing may have to start worrying about his dragon chair. ”

Zhang Ying's words were the voices of the three of them, Zhang Ding and Liang Deguang nodded again and again.

"What a fool, you still think that you are a little guerrilla, and you can still compare with the fourth brother? Tens of thousands of troops in the imperial court were annihilated in one fell swoop, and Guangzhou City was occupied in two days, Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng, what kind of bird are you, don't say anything to the fourth brother, just say help him, what can you help......"

Xiao Sheng also laughed, laughing at his own inadequacy, smiling and laughing, all kinds of things flashed in his mind, the battle of Tianxinhe Thief's Nest, the battle of Yingde Litang, and the naval battle of the Honest Man, blood red with the sound of guns, his blood gradually burned.

"Follow the fourth brother and fight a new world with guns, this is a pleasure that a soldier like me can hardly enjoy in ten lifetimes. It's just my Xiao Sheng's loyalty, this hurdle is really difficult to cross......"

Xiao Sheng hates himself very much, why is his "loyalty" to the court so difficult to give up?

"Shi Junmen summoned guerrillas at the Yamen of the General Army!"

The soldiers spread the news outside the door, and the three of them were startled, and at the same time looked at Xiao Sheng.

"It's okay, if you want to take me, you don't need to take it at the Yamen of the General Army, it's too close to our camp......"

Xiao Sheng smiled, he knew the rules for doing things.

The Yamen of the South Australian General Army, Shi Shibiao stared at Xiao Sheng for a while, and finally nodded: "I know that you are loyal, and I haven't spread the word about your close relationship with Li Shi before, there are some rumors outside, you don't have to think about it, just concentrate on doing things." ”

Xiao Sheng had nothing to say, so he had to thank Shi Shibiao for his trust.

"Li Xian's rebellion is huge, but it is also a good time for our generation of warriors to seek wealth and nobility! Yue Zhongqi, a guerrilla in Fubiao, Hunan, was awarded the title of deputy general because he had damaged Li Shi's army, and Governor Nian Qianyao had already reported him for his overpromotion! ”

Although Shi Shibi was inspiring, he was still sarcastic, that Yue Zhongqi just relied on the Miao soldiers to raid the mountain, and was finally beaten down, and the soldiers were completely damaged, and it was actually regarded as a great achievement! It's no wonder that compared with others, Yue Zhongqi can hit the thief army, his performance is already eye-catching, the other soldiers are all wrapped in dumplings, how can the court raise a few examples, brush the ground full of blood, he can be sure that Nian Qianyao's merits, the Ministry of War will definitely approve it!

"The soldiers in the north of Guangdong Province are disabled, the imperial court has to remobilize, it will be difficult to be comprehensive in three or five months, and the east is our Fujian people, let the imperial court see, this battle has to rely on our Fujian people to fight."

Shi Shibiao said confidently that he already had a strategy, but like his Lao Tzu, he never wanted to be constrained, so he still had to fight for power. Now the eastern army is divided into three units, one is the Guangdong remnants gathered by Guangdong Governor Zhang Wenhuan, one is the Fujian Provincial Green Battalion led by Fujian Land Governor Mu Tingyan, and the other is the Fujian Navy Division led by his Shi Shibi, who has won the entire Nanao Town.

It is impossible for him to command the three people, but he also doesn't want others to be pressed on his head, especially the possibility of the comeback of the former veteran Lan Li, who is pleading guilty in Beijing, this news makes his heart very blocked. Therefore, while anxious to ask for power, he encouraged his subordinates to fight for the army, and his strategy, not to mention Xiao Sheng, a brave general who is familiar with guns and water warfare, has a good idea of Xiao Sheng's suppression of foreigners' gunboats.

"If you have done miraculous achievements, let alone the deputy general, the location of the general soldier is unknown!"

Shi Shibiao said in a warm tone, Xiao Sheng knew the matter, and also responded loudly, but said in his heart, wealth is naturally good, but what I want is far more than wealth and ...... "The emperor is the king of the Holy Ming, he governs the world with benevolence, pays people with sincerity, how the courtiers do things, he can see it clearly, as long as you serve the court to the death, the emperor will never treat him badly!" ”

Shi Shibiao bowed his hand to the north and continued to encourage him, Xiao Sheng naturally kowtowed again and again, but knocking and knocking, a question, buried deep in his heart, almost forgotten by himself, suddenly rushed out of his heart.

That was what Li Shi fooled him earlier, saying that he didn't shave his head today. Now that he has a broad vision, he already doesn't believe it, but Shi Shibiao suddenly said the word "sincerity", and this question violently stirred his heart, making it difficult for him to suppress the urge to speak.

Shi Shibiao nodded and flicked his sleeves, signaling the end of the conversation, Xiao Sheng bowed and retreated, and when he arrived at the door, he was about to turn around, and he couldn't suppress the impulse anymore, so he turned around and asked: "Mark the Emperor Mu for a long time, but there is no blessing to see the face of the sky, the military gate has seen the imperial appearance, can you tell the mark to relieve the pain of the feeling under the mark?" ”

Xiao Sheng is an honest man, the expression on his face has always been difficult to fake, Shi Shibiao sees Xiao Sheng like this, but he doesn't know that once an honest person acts ruthlessly, anyone can deceive him.

Hearing this "heartfelt" question, Shi Shibiao also came to the spirit.

"The emperor is kind and kind, and he can still see the heroic and handsome ...... when he was young"

He talked about Kangxi's appearance roughly, in fact, he hadn't met Jun a few times, and when he faced Jun, he mostly knelt below, how dare he look up and look carefully. It's just that once, Kangxi should have been in a good mood and tested his archery skills in the Changchun Garden Arrow Field, and he took a closer look from the corner of his eye at that time.

"Heaven is naturally full, and the appearance of the Holy Monarch is unmatched by the world......"

Shi Shibiao was talking about this, and Xiao Sheng suddenly interjected.

"Is the emperor's sideburns dense?"

Shi Shibiu's mind was on recalling Kangxi's appearance, and before he could react to this question, he naturally replied along the memory: "There are a lot of gray hairs ......"

Then he paused and took a breath, what is the purpose of this question!?

The emperor is full of people, so he naturally wants to shave his hair, but the hairstyle is no longer the money rat tail at the time of entering the customs, and how much to shave depends on the emperor's own happiness. Besides, shaving your hair will also grow stubble, but ...... The emperor really has sideburns.

But that's a big deal!

Shi Shibiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Sheng, the hairstyle thing, if you don't care about it, it's incomparably small, if you think about it, it's so big that you want to lose your head, this guy actually talks around the bend, is he looking away?

Xiao Sheng let out a long sigh of relief and said calmly: "It's just that I have doubts in my heart, and I don't dare to ask directly, so the military gate is not strange." Now that this doubt is gone, I can't be more sure in my heart. ”

He said in a deep voice: "It is the duty of a soldier to be loyal to the country!" The heart of seeking wealth and nobility under the mark is also hot, what is the dispatch of the military gate, go to the soup and go to the fire, and the mark will not give up! ”

made a sonorous statement, Shi Shibiao was also infected, and he didn't ask what Xiao Sheng's doubts were, as long as he fought with all his heart, he could see that Xiao Sheng's statement couldn't be more sincere.

Out of the general soldier's yamen, Xiao Sheng smiled lowly.

"What I want to be loyal to is the country of China, not a country of aliens who use braids to break people's hearts, and not a country of hypocrisy that talks about guns and cannons in order to prevent Han people. Fourth brother, what you said at the beginning, let me find the answer by myself, in fact, the answer has always been in my heart, but I have never dared to face it. ”

He looked at the misty sea from afar, and his heart suddenly opened up, and the waves were surging.

"After going through so many things, I Xiao Sheng has only woken up until now, and I hope it's not too late. Be loyal to my request, and I will also ask for wealth, fourth brother, you have to prepare a big official for me, at least three levels higher than Zhang Zhizi's guy, let him continue to call me boss! ”

Xiao Sheng's laughter turned louder, and the tide echoed his laughter, rumbling and lapping on the shore to celebrate his new life.
