Unconsciously, the two talked for more than an hour, which made Cheng Baguio and Wang Yanan even a girl, the two of them had been soaking in the water for a long time, and their bodies were so cold, although they went ashore, but due to the loss of a lot of heat and body before, they were about to be unable to hold on, but fortunately, Xiao Zhenlei and the eagle finished talking in time, and the two of them were able to be freed, Xiao Zhenlei saw that the two of them were very cold, so he asked them to go to rest in the carriage on the river embankment, where there was no river wind blowing, and it was warmer.

Next, Xiao Zhenlei and the eagle worked together to deal with the injuries of these surrendered Xu Baoshan's subordinates, so that these guys who were still bleeding from death.

"Alright, I ask you, the leader of you raises his hand!" Xiao Zhenlei asked while standing in front of the dozen or so wounded guys with two shell guns.

After listening to Xiao Zhenlei's question, three of these wounded hesitated and raised their hands, Xiao Zhenlei saw this and asked, "It's just the three of you, is there anyone else?" ”

One of the three strong men in his forties said: "Boss Xiao, no, just the three of us are the leaders, and these people are all selected by us from among our brothers to fight!" ”

"What's your name?"

The strong man said: "Boss Xiao, in Xia Zhu Fusheng, ten years ago was the leader of the salt lord in the area of Twelve Wei and Qihaokou, when Xu Baoshan came with hundreds of people to grab the territory, I wanted to take advantage of his unstable foothold to kill him first, but I didn't expect this guy to buy off a few of my subordinates and hit me off guard, under the defeat, I had to take other brothers to take refuge in Xu Baoshan!"

Xiao Zhenlei nodded and pointed to the other two leaders and asked, "What about the two of you?" ”

A middle-aged thin man in his forties in the middle said: "Boss Xiao, my name is Sun Qi, Xu Baoshan first took refuge in the rivers and lakes, and later this guy relied on his reputation to be loud." He also made friends with my brothers, and even made himself a big boss for the sake of the guest, but he didn't kill me completely, and let me follow him all the time! ”

The third person on the right is in his thirties. He is tall and big, burly, and he is not much more reckless than Xiao Zhenlei and Xu Baoshan, he said: "Boss Xiao, my name is Wang Zhenguo, and I eat on the green forest road." He has always been an ally with Xu Baoshan, and he wanted to raise his self-respect, so he found me, and we joined forces to fool his Shangguan, which was beneficial to both parties. However, Xu Baoshan often betrayed his allies, and in the twenty-eighth year of Guangxu, he led his troops to exterminate Tao Longxiang and Tao Longbing, and was promoted to general. In the twenty-ninth year of Guangxu, Xu Baoshan obeyed the instructions of the Qing court, and together with the Qing army, he killed his former ally Zeng Guozhang in the green forest, and was promoted to the commander of the Jiangnan patrol battalion because of his merits. There are countless other Qinghong Gang Shantou members who have been betrayed and killed by him! I've been wary of him since I became an ally with him, but I didn't expect to be cheated by him this time. Ay! ”

After listening to these three people introduce themselves, Xiao Zhenlei knew that these three people turned out to have a lot of backgrounds, he thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to know what I will do with you?" ”

The three looked at each other. Zhu Fusheng said: "I heard that Boss Xiao had killed Orientals in Shanghai at the beginning, and he had also defeated Western strongmen in the ring. Xu Baoshan was killed by Boss Xiao today, and even if we go back, we will be punished by Shangguan. Whether he will survive or not is unknown, in that case. I think it's better to vote for Boss Xiao to eat! Brother Sun Qi and Brother Wang, what do you two think? ”

Sun Qidao: "It's not proper, it's inappropriate, I have too many people, and most of them are still Yang?" State patrol battalion, we can't just leave, and Boss Xiao is a serious businessman, where can we accept so many brothers under us? Besides, Boss Xiao is not from my Qinghong Gang, so it's not appropriate for us to take refuge in him! Isn't this breaking the rules of my Qinghong Gang? ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhenguo next to him immediately said: "Brother Sun, I don't dare to agree, why is it inappropriate for us to take refuge in Boss Xiao?" What if it's not from my Qinghong Gang? Who was born in the Qinghong Gang? The dozen or so brothers here, almost all of them are members of the Qinghong Gang, as long as I wait for Boss Xiao to be the old man, Boss Xiao is a member of the Qinghong Gang, even if he was not a member of the Qinghong Gang before, as long as he follows the rules of our Qinghong Gang, he can also set up a separate dock to open a mountain to accept apprentices! The reason why I say this is not because I, Wang, am afraid of death and want to curry favor in front of Boss Xiao, but in fact because Boss Xiao is a man who is truly righteous, which can be seen from Boss Xiao coming to rescue the two young ladies alone, if you can be good to a woman, won't you be good to your brother? In fact, I have been against the kidnapping of the woman and the threat of Boss Xiao from beginning to end, but I didn't dare to say it because of Xu Baoshan's obscenity, and now that he is dead, what am I afraid of! Boss Xiao, I, Wang Zhenguo, am willing to worship Boss Xiao as an old man, and there are hundreds of people under my hands who are also willing to be driven by Boss Xiao."

People in the gang worship an old man who is not in the gang as an old man, this kind of thing has never happened in the history of the gang, but this kind of thing is not unusual. In history, the later chairman of Han Fuqu, the provincial chairman, held a military and political meeting before worshipping Zhang Renkui as an old man, and it happened that Zhang Renkui, an old man of the Green Gang, held a wedding banquet for his son, and few people attended his military and political conference, and they all went to attend the wedding banquet of Zhang Renkui, the son of the old man of the Green Gang. Many military and political officials in the east worship Zhang Renkui as an old man to obtain political capital, which is a big news.

Sun Qi and Zhu Fusheng are right to think about it, this Xiao Zhenlei is not only rich, righteous, and hot-blooded, and can trust his life to his friends and brothers, worshipping such a person as an old man will not only not disgrace his reputation, but also may have full benefits.

Thinking of this, both of them said at the same time: "What Brother Wang said is good, Boss Xiao, I am willing to worship you as an old man, and please fulfill it!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei was dumbfounded, what was going on? Lao Tzu hasn't sent you yet, but you want to worship Lao Tzu as an old man, are you three guys sincere or false?

After thinking for a while, Xiao Zhenlei was puzzled, and then looked up, only to see Wang Zhenguo and others looking at him with blank eyes, he thought that since people want to take refuge, whether it is true or false, they will accept it first, and then say, if they find that these guys are anti-bones in the future, it is not too late to clean up, and now people want to take refuge, if they don't accept it, it will not be good for their reputation, and after thinking about this, he said: "Okay, since the three of you are willing to worship me as an old man, then wait until you go back and hold a ceremony, now there is nothing but you here, There are fifteen other people, are they all willing to follow me? ”

Zhu Fusheng turned back to the fifteen people behind him: "Now we all choose Mr. Bai Xiao as the old man, how do you choose?" I can tell you, you must choose carefully, don't lose your head! ”

These words are obviously threatening, Zhu Fusheng is helping Xiao Zhenlei to subdue these unruly people, these people are all elite daredevils under Xu Baoshan, compared to the waste of the patrol battalion, if it is not for Xiao Zhenlei and Eagle to join forces today, even if two or three hundred people come to the patrol battalion, it is estimated that they will not be able to escape.

At this time, Xiao Zhenlei spoke: "You don't have to be afraid, tonight's incident was all done by Xu Baoshan, it has nothing to do with you, even if you have other plans, I won't embarrass you, but if you want to leave, you have to wait a few more days, and I can only let you go after I deal with the aftermath here, and you must not harm the good people on the rivers and lakes in the future!" ”

After Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, a person said loudly: "I am willing to follow Boss Xiao!" ”

"I do, too!"

"And me!"

"Count me in!"

In the end, there were only three people who were unwilling, they wanted to go home, they didn't want to mix in the rivers and lakes, Xiao Zhenlei was not reluctant, this kind of thing was reluctant, and now he reluctantly agreed to join, maybe he would rebel in the future, this kind of person would leave early.

Xiao Zhenlei immediately untied these people and let them regain their freedom, but almost all of these people were injured, and it was basically impossible to walk back to the concession, but when Xu Baoshan and the others came, everyone was riding horses, and now those horses are in the woods on the opposite side of the river embankment.

Xiao Zhenlei asked Zhu Fusheng, the leader who was not injured in any way, to take a few other slightly injured younger brothers to the woods to lead the horses over, and asked Sun Qi and Wang Zhenguo to take the rest of the people to collect the guns and ammunition on the ground and the corpses, which would be useful in the future.

After some counting and counting, it was found that forty-two guns were in good condition, and more than a dozen guns were somewhat damaged in the battle just now, either the parts were broken, or they were simply blown into pieces by grenades, in addition to these, more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition were also collected, and these people brought by Xu Baoshan did not put a few shots in the first place, but only knocked out a very small number of bullets, and most of the bullets were retained.

Xiao Zhenlei asked these people to tear off some of the clothes on the corpses and tie up the guns and ammunition, and it didn't take long for Zhu Fusheng to lead more than 50 horses with a few people, and the guns and ammunition were all placed on horseback, and everyone rode on horses and walked towards the river embankment.

When they arrived at the river embankment, Xiao Zhenlei instructed Sun Qi and others to put the guns and ammunition in the carriage, if they were put on horseback like this, it would not be good if they were discovered by the people patrolling the house after entering the concession.

Under Xiao Zhenlei's order, everyone galloped towards the direction of the concession, and finally rushed back to the concession in the early hours of the morning. (To be continued) R466
