Chongzhen walked forward for another hour.

It is only 30 miles away from Zunhua County.

The official road in front of it forks to the right at an intersection, looking like a village from a distance, the high wall, about two zhang is about the same, and there are various colored flags fluttering on it.

There is also the shadow of Zhuang Bing faintly visible.

Chongzhen didn't dare to underestimate the regimental training armament in these places, thinking that Wu Sangui was the leader of the regimental training armament back then, and later mixed with the general army.

There is also the famous Li Zicheng, who died under the armed hands of the regimental training.

Of course, he couldn't go directly to the county seat, and now he didn't know the situation in the county seat, and he didn't know where Tang Tong and Bai Guangen were, so Chongzhen decided to go to the village first.

It was still early in the morning, and the sun was still more than an hour away.

Four people and six horses got off the official road and turned right in the direction of the village.

After walking more than a mile, Chongzhen saw clearly.

The wall is more than two zhang high, and it is indeed an adobe wall, but it looks very neat, and the earthen walls are all hard soil, and it seems to be very strong.

There are red, yellow, green, blue and black five-color flags on the wall, fluttering in the wind.

The heavy wooden village gate is tightly closed, and the three big characters of "Gujiazhai" are written directly above the gate, each word is almost one meter square, which is very eye-catching.

"Phew! What are you waiting for, peeping at the Dazhai Gate can't succeed, go forward and release the bow and arrows!"

Suddenly, there were more than 100 Zhuang Ding gathered on the wall, although they had no armor, they were all dressed in short clothes, and they all held swords, guns, bows and crossbows in their hands, and glared at them angrily.

In fact, Chongzhen is still two arrows away from Dazhai, and even if ordinary bows and arrows are condescending, they can't reach them at all.

Han Yinma took two steps forward and arched his hand at the crowd above the wall, "Don't get me wrong, we are merchants from afar passing by here, and seeing the majesty of the village, we can't help but stop and look at it twice, and there is no malice."

"Since you are so quick to leave, lest you hurt the peace."

The leader should be a patrol village owner, in his forties, with a chubby face, a black beard, dressed in green clothes, carrying a waist knife, and yelling at them.

"Okay, let's go." Han Yin entertained, "But there is still a reluctant invitation below, we have walked for a long time, there is still a long way from the county seat, this road is tired enough, thirsty and unbearable, can you go into the village to ask for a bowl of water to drink."

"No." The patrolling owner of the village flatly refused, but he also clasped his fists with both hands, which was considered a salute, "At the moment, the soldiers are in chaos, who knows who you are, so forgive me for not waiting."

"The young master is here, the young master is here,"

The head of the village moved, and Zhuang Ding dodged to the side, revealing a young man in Tsing Yi with a tiger head and a tiger brain, sixteen or seventeen years old, also with a round and fat face, holding a fire-tipped gun in his hand, and there was no red tassel.

squeezed to the front and said to the patrolling village owner, "Uncle Li, why are you driving people away, aren't you just begging for a bowl of water?"

The patrol owner said to the young man: "Young village master, it's very chaotic right now, the capital has become a world of thieves, Wu Sangui retreated to Shanhaiguan and brought *** over, the thief chief Li Zicheng sent heavy troops from the capital have passed from here, and the battle of Shanhaiguan is about to break out, and the old village owner has an order not to allow people to enter the village."

"Uncle Li is not afraid, with me, don't listen to my father. These friends are tired of walking, what can they do to beg for water? Otherwise, I will go out and try with them, and as long as I win them, I will let them into the village to drink water, and if they dare to make trouble, I will kill them. If I can't win against them, I'll send someone to bring water outside the village, so as not to tarnish the reputation of our Gujiazhai."

"Young village master, how does this work?" The patrol owner looks, isn't this nonsense?

"Needless to say, open the gate." The young man in Tsing Yi said and carried a fire-tipped gun and led people down the wall.

The gate of the village really opened, and the young man in Tsing Yi went out with more than 20 Zhuang Ding Pegasus.

"This little cub is terrible!" The patrol owner was so anxious that he scolded, and shouted to his subordinates, "Why don't you hurry up and deliver a letter to the old village owner?"

Someone ran down with a promise.

The patrol owner was afraid that something would happen to the young villager, so he had to order someone to guard the gate of the village, and brought 50 Zhuang Ding, and then followed out.

At this time, the young man in Tsing Yi came to Chongzhen, Han Yin and the others, clasped his hands into fists, "Do you want to ask for water? It's easy, not to mention drinking water, eating and lodging, but I'm going to have a competition with you below."

Chongzhen had actually heard him talking to the patrolling owner on the wall, and from the tone of his voice, he speculated that they should be dead fans of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Chongzhen became very interested, and felt that this young village master was very interesting to speak.

Chongzhen nodded, "We are happy to accompany you, Your Excellency is the master of the young village, right?"

The young man said: "In Xia Gu Shunyi, my father Gu Entong is the owner of the village here, may I ask where are the few immortals, and your surname is high?"

Chongzhen saw that this young man was very honest, and said half-truthfully: "I, Zhu Wu, this is Wang En, Han Cheng, and Yang Wan, they are all my generals, and they are familiar with martial arts, we are from Shanxi, and we go to Jizhou East to do business, since the young owner wants to try martial arts, then let Han Cheng accompany the young owner to go a few times."
