Gong Jichang chased out of the camp, the man was dressed in black, his face was covered, he glanced at Gong Jichang, and threw out a dart casually, Gong Jichang turned his head sideways, and the dart pierced into a poplar tree. Then the man leaped forward and ran ahead.

Feeling that the person's back was a little familiar, Gong Jichang couldn't confirm who it was. The man ran too fast to catch up with him, and in a few moments he disappeared into the dense woods of the mountain. Gong Jichang did not continue the pursuit, and stopped in front of a rock like a knife.

At this time, Rong Weishan also caught up: "Big brother-"

"Hmm." Gong Jichang responded, "Why did you come out too?" ”

"Yes, who could this man be?" Rong Weishan asked.

"I don't know...... There are only two possibilities, either the escaped Blue Wolf Army, or someone who knows me well. Gong Jichang said.

It's very strange, that person has been lurking outside the camp for so long, if he assassinates Gong Jichang, there is a chance, but why didn't he do it when he eavesdropped? Could it be that he is here to spy on the military? Or is there something else going on?

"Big brother, now the two of us go into the mountains to search." Rong Weishan carried his sword and walked forward dozens of steps.

"Brother Rong, I suspect that this is not an ordinary assassin, you better go back to the camp." Gong Jichang said. He could see from the man's posture that he had just made a move, and he didn't want to put himself to death, but just a temptation.

Rong Weishan suggested: "This matter is very serious, let's go to Yin Zongtang's camp and report the situation." ”

Gong Jichang thought for a while: "Okay." Anyway, we are idle, and we just happened to talk to Lord Yin Zongtang about how to deal with the prisoners of the Blue Wolf Army. ”

On the way back, Rong Weishan inadvertently talked about Jiang Changyi, the governor of Jiangdong who fell under his horse due to vomiting blood on the way to Nanchang and died in his 30s.

Rong Weishan was also afraid that he would suffer retribution for cutting off so many people's heads on the battlefield. Although most of the wolf army were outlaws, a considerable number of them were involved in the rebellion.

"Little brother, do you also believe in karma and the cycle of life and death?" Gong Jichang said with a smile.

"If you believe, you have, and if you don't believe, you don't. You and I have both hands stained with the blood of the Blue Wolf Army, and after our deaths, Hades sentenced us to the eighteenth layer of Hell Purgatory. Rong Weishan said.

"Yes, maybe do some good deeds, and when you go to hell, Hades will deal with it at your discretion. When the war subsides, let's start and do something meaningful for the people. Gong Jichang said.

"Yes. In the past few years, we have robbed a lot of silver, although it is the silver taken from the hands of the blue wolf army, but most of it is also the hard-earned money of the common people, we can build roads and bridges, or build schools, Confucian temples, and subsidize those poor students......" Rong Weishan said, "But I don't know how long it will take for my days to end?" ”

"I heard Brother Yanqian say that after killing Wang Haiyang, the Jingyi Battalion should be disbanded." Gong Jichang said.

"That's great, I can go home and see my wife and son." Rong Weishan rubbed his hands.

"Hmm. I've been looking for my eldest lady for almost two years, and I still haven't heard from me at all......," Gong Jichang sighed.

"Don't be in a hurry. Sister-in-law should be fine. By the way, didn't you have a master named Zhu Shuiqiang under your former subordinates? ”

"Yes. What does he do, you ask? Gong Jichang couldn't help but be stunned.

He couldn't help but think of the army that was taken away by Jiang Changyi back then, among which the chief bookkeeper Zhu Shuiqiang had disappeared for several years, and he missed this rap guy a little.

"I heard that Zhu Shuiqiang was captured by Wang Haiyang in a blocking battle, so wouldn't Zhu Shuiqiang also be in Jiaying Prefecture?" Rong Weishan asked.

Gong Jichang shook his head, if Zhu Shuiqiang was really in Jiaying Prefecture, he should have seen it a long time ago.

"Big brother, let's go to the prisoner camp first and check if there is Zhu Shuiqiang?" Rong Weishan said.

"Tens of thousands, how to identify them?" Gong Jichang frowned.

"Lord Yin Zongtang has a roster, don't worry." Rong Weishan said.

There is a roster that is also fake, and Gong Jichang doesn't want to look for the roster one by one at all. His wife has not been found, how can he have time to care about Zhu Shuiqiang's life and death.

"Brother, I suddenly don't want to go to Lord Yin Zongtang's camp." Gong Jichang said.

"Why don't you want to go again?" Rong Weishan asked.

"I'm afraid that when I see Lord Yin Zongtang, I won't be able to control myself, and I will draw a knife against him." Gong Jichang smiled.

"No, it won't. Lord Yin Zongtang is not confused in big things, and pays great attention to small details. ”

When I arrived at the Chinese military tent of Yin Zongtang, I saw him in his fifties, with a beard and coarse cloth clothes, sitting at a table, holding a thick roster, and ordering his own soldiers to pay the prisoners of the Blue Wolf Army one by one and repatriate the surrendered Blue Wolf Army in batches, and they were busy.

Yin Zongtang shouted to the roster:

"Zhang Xiaosi——"

"Here."

"Liu Ergou—" "Here!"

"Yellow bull—" "Yes."

……

"The one who is calling the roster is Lord Yin Zongtang." Rong Weishan told Gong Jichang.

"Got it." Gong Jichang nodded, and then pressed the Lock Dragon Divine Sword and followed a personal soldier to Yin Zongtang.

"Lord Hao—" Gong Jichang interrupted Xu Zongtang, who was shouting the captive's name.

"Didn't you see that Ben Du was busy?" Yin Zongtang didn't raise his eyelids and ignored Gong Jichang.

"My lord, I am Gong Jichang, the general of the Xi Yan Department, and I want to inquire about the ...... of the deceased," Gong Jichang continued.

As soon as Yin Zongtang heard the three words "Gong Jichang", he pressed the brush on the roster, stood up, and held the general's belly: "Gong Junmen, please sit!" ”

"My lord, what do you mean by the military gate?" Gong Jichang sat down.

"Junmen is the honorific title of the commander of the highest green battalion in a county in the Qing Dynasty and the country." Yin Zongtang smiled slightly.

"And what is the general soldier?" Gong Jichang said.

"Zhentai." Rong Weishan said with a smile.

"Oh, Gong is blunt, I don't know." Gong Jichang arched his hand to Yin Zongtang and said.

"Gong Junmen, please tell the camp if you have something." Yin Zongtang said.

"No...... Adults ......" Gong Jichang waved his hand, he glanced at the prisoner roster, and saw that there was a name "Zhu Shuiqiang" on it, so he quickly took away the brush and found that there was no check behind the name, and Gong Jichang knew the word "Zhu Shui".

"Gong Junmen, don't move the roster." Yin Zongtang hurriedly stopped Gong Jichang.

"My lord, why is this name not ticked?" Gong Jichang asked.

"If the severance pay is paid, the governor will tick it. This Zhu Shuiqiang didn't give the travel fee, so he didn't tick it. Yin Zongtang explained.

"You show me, this wishing water...... Whatever, where is the origin. Gong Jichang poked his finger at the name of "Zhu Shuiqiang".

"Zhu Shuiqiang, from Rulin County, Baocheng Prefecture, Jingnan County." Yin Zongtang said.

"Oh. That's from the same county as me, please call him, and Gong will confirm whether he is an old man. Gong Jichang said. Because there are too many people with the same name and surname in the world, judging from the name, it may not be possible to conclude that this Zhu Shuiqiang is his old subordinate.

"No problem." Xu Zongtang took the roster and called the names of five or six captives in a row, and finally it was Zhu Shuiqiang's turn.

"Zhu Shuiqiang-" Gong Jichang personally called his name.

"Yes."

A captive with gauze wrapped around his head, on a wooden stick, and with red and swollen eyes, limped along. As soon as the captive arrived in front of Gong Jichang, he was immediately stunned, and then he said in Sidu dialect: "Old situation, a hundred birds wish the water to be strong." ”

"Shang Lao (buddy), why did your bang (head) hurt like this?" Gong Jichang asked.

"When Huang Shazhang broke through, he fell like this." Zhu Shuiqiang replied, uncovering the gauze on his head and showing his face.

"Shui Qiang—" Gong Jichang shouted.

"General-" Zhu Shuiqiang threw away the wooden stick in his hand and hugged Gong Jichang tightly, crying with joy.

"You're a big man, crying wool!" Gong Jichang helped Zhu Shuiqiang to sit down on the side.

"Gong Junmen, do you two know each other?" Yin Zongtang asked.

"Hmm. We are all (township), and Zhu Shuiqiang is my main book when I was in Lenghu Mountain. Gong Jichang nodded.

"Then you can catch up with the old days." Yin Zongtang stuffed a tael of silver into Zhu Shuiqiang's hand, and then turned around and called his name according to the roster.

"General, what level are you getting mixed up with now?" Zhu Shuiqiang said.

"Admiral Rank Named Commander-in-Chief." Gong Jichang replied.

"Wow, a first-class officer, the official of the feudal territory." Zhu Shuiqiang threw the silver on the ground, "I still want to follow you and continue to be a master bookkeeper ......"

"Let's go back and heal our wounds." Gong Jichang said.

"No, I don't go back. If you want to go back, I will go back with you. Zhu Shuiqiang shook his head.

"I don't want to take in a prisoner of the Blue Wolf Army......" Gong Jichang waved his hand.

"Big brother, if you don't give me a horse, I'll ......leave," Zhu Shuiqiang said. It turned out that he didn't want to walk back, Jiaying Prefecture was more than 1,600 miles away from Sidu, too far, and one or two silver was not enough.

"The beauty you think." Gong Jichang said with a smile.

"Big brother, you give me another two taels of silver, and I'll leave now." Zhu Shuiqiang stretched out his palm.

"Nope." Gong Jichang said.

"Big brother, I saw more than 500 female soldiers of the Blue Wolf Army in the prisoner camp, and one of them was very similar to General Ran Yingying...... Zhu Shuiqiang leaned into Gong Jichang's ear and whispered.

"Are you sure?" Gong Jichang couldn't help but be stunned.

"Not sure." Zhu Shuiqiang suddenly asked, "Didn't the eldest princess stay in Sidu?" ”

"Ran away...... Where are all the female soldiers being held? Gong Jichang became nervous.

"I heard that last night, Xun Zongtang's subordinates had privately divided those female captives." Zhu Shuiqiang said seriously.

"Oh. Got it. Gong Jichang said.

Then, he took Rong Weishan and Zhu Shuiqiang to other tents one by one to check on the female captives. I searched all the camps, but I didn't see the female soldier of the Blue Wolf Army who was similar to the eldest princess Feng Jiao'er that Zhu Shuiqiang said.

So, Gong Jichang walked out of Yin Zongtang's camp dejectedly. As soon as he went out, Gong Jichang saw Ding Sun coming.
