"Zhang Huangyan, see the horse."

Zhang Huangyan, who was dressed in military uniform, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists towards Zhou Shixian and said: "The grass people are too late to save the car, and I also ask the horse to give me the guilt." ”

"No need to be polite!"

Zhou Shixian hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up, he didn't expect that he would meet the famous "Mr. Cangshui" here.

Moreover, although Zhou Shixian did not expect that Zhang Huangyan would just arrive in Qinghe County with the righteous army he organized, he still knew something about the other party's recruitment and organization of the righteous army Qinwang in the south.

After all, this was the first time that a leader of the anti-Qing resistance in the late Ming Dynasty, who was both civil and military, led the army in the true sense.

Zhou Shixian admired this one of the "Three Heroes of West Lake" who knew that he could not do it, despite repeated defeats, but still insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty for 19 years in his original history, and was finally brutally killed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Not to mention, Zhang Huangyan was still a rare clear stream in the late Ming Dynasty, an era when demons danced wildly and there was no bottom line, and his morality was even more blameless.

"Mr. Zhang worked hard and personally led the righteous teacher to the north to King Qin, what is the crime?" Zhou Shixian looked at the sword-eyed starry eyes in front of him, his face was white, he was wearing a silver-white chain mail, and there was a sword hanging from his waist, and he also said politely:

"This horse has also heard of Zhang Cangshui's name for a long time, it is said that he can be able to write and martial arts, eight years ago when he participated in the county test, he investigated the riding and shooting, and the three arrows were all targeted. I was able to see it today, and it was really extraordinary! ”

Zhang Huangyan listened, he was stunned at first, he never expected that the horse of the dynasty would pay so much attention to him, and then he was sincerely frightened, overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his waist, clasped his fists and said: "Don't be joking, where did the grass people come from?" ”

"Don't be modest, when the national crisis is at hand, talented people should be exposed, otherwise how can the saint know who to use?"

Zhou Shixian immediately interjected, and became a life mentor again: "In this way, it has allowed those incompetent Xiao Xiaojuni to take advantage." ”

"Yes, colt." Zhang Huangyan said respectfully, but he still couldn't change the upright energy and the sour spirit of the literati, after thinking about it, he still said the words that were interrupted by Zhou Shixian just now:

"Please also ask Your Highness to be aware that the grass people were all hit by the bull's-eye with ten arrows that day, but no one outside the field believed it, and it became three arrows when it was passed on, which is definitely a rumor, and it is a great slander against the grass people who have been training hard for ten years and thousands of days."

This time it was Zhou Shixian's turn to be stunned, good guy, this is too good, unbelievable!

Not to mention that all the ten arrows were hit, and they all hit the bull's-eye, even if Zhou Shixian listened to it, he didn't believe it.

"If the horse doesn't believe it, you can immediately set up a target, and the grass people will show the horse, the daily training of the grass people on weekdays, the highest is to hit seventeen arrows in a row, if you shoot birds, the hit rate is lower, but basically you can shoot two arrows under one."

Zhang Huangyan said as he spoke, and his tone unconsciously became Versailles, and he sighed slightly: "There were actually some mistakes that day, but those who don't practice martial arts still say that the grass people bought the examiner first, no matter what the grass people say, they don't believe it." ”

"Hahahaha, no need to demonstrate, this horse believes you."

Zhou Shixian had heard of Zhang Huangyan's uprightness, but he didn't expect the other party to go to such a point, and he didn't know that this "loyal martyr" hero also had such a side.

The two did not go on on this topic, Zhou Shixian immediately let the other party stand among the generals under his command, and Zhang Huangyan naturally understood the meaning.

He was not shocked at this time, but his heart was already excited, and the ambition of resisting the Qing Dynasty and saving the country, Jin Ge Iron Horse, which had been buried in his heart, seemed to be about to be realized.

Now, the war outside Qinghe County has ended, and Qinghe Zhixian has woken up in time, after Zhou Shixian sent the emperor and queen into the city, he immediately arranged for the generals under his command to perform their duties, sort out the battlefield, count casualties, and reorganize the system.

Zhang Huangyan's department has nearly 1,000 people, although it is trained by Qi Jiguang's art of war, and the army array is quite neat, but the weapons and equipment are not good, not even the most basic muskets, and the armor is pitiful.

However, a scholar, not to mention a hundred steps through Yang, and the ability to train soldiers, has passed the test of history, where can Zhou Shixian miss such a talent?

After Zhang Huangyan received the task of Xue Laoer, Wu Xingye, Zhang Hong, Wang Chaodong, Sun Hu, Li Daxi and others, he was also assigned the arduous task of guarding the prisoners.

This is not a joke, if Zhang Huangyan hadn't arrived in time, Zhou Shixian really didn't know who to give this task to, so that he could not only grasp the distribution of these 3,000 elite soldiers and horses, but also maintain the balance and unity of the generals under his command.

After arranging these things, Zhou Shixian took a few guards to the top of the city tower, where he saw Lu Jiude, who had just woken up from a coma.

Lu Jiude sat on the ground with a dead face, watching Zhou Shixian Shi Ran walk in, his expression was calm, and then looking at the outfit, he probably guessed the identity of the other party in his heart.

But he didn't respond, neither saluted nor spoke.

"Father-in-law Lu, you have been in Fengyang all these years, is it possible to learn this? Which law of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that when you see the horse, is your current appearance, this attitude? ”

Zhou Shixian scolded while sitting in front of Lu Jiude, and the two guards stood on his left and right.

However, Lu Jiude was still unmoved, just like a puddle of mud, as if these had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Zhou Shixian knew that the other party was planning to fight all the crimes by himself, but as soon as he died, he smiled slightly, and then changed the topic and asked, "What about Lu Zhenfei, you killed it?" ”

"Pony, Lu Zhenfei is a friend of our family, an old acquaintance, and a loyal person, why did our family kill him?" When Lu Jiude heard that he was being questioned like this, he immediately retorted.

"By tonight at the latest, he should break free and come to Qinghe to meet him."

"Really didn't kill?" Zhou Shixian looked surprised, a little incredulous.

He hadn't interrogated Wang Hui yet, and he didn't know that the other party had just tied up Lu Zhenfei.

With his understanding of this era, Lu Jiude should have already killed the killer, but the result was completely beyond his expectations.

Lu Jiude did not continue to speak, or rather, after proving his innocence, he didn't want to say anything more to Zhou Shixian.

Zhou Shixian originally wanted to win over Lu Jiude and let this capable eunuch work for him. After all, Lu Jiude's discipline and ability, in Nanjing, I am afraid that there are not many ministers who can match it.

Moreover, the opponent's ability to lead troops is indeed not low, at least there are still more than 2,000 descendant troops, which can conduct small-scale operations.

To put it mildly, most of the princes in the Nanjing court are not as good as even a eunuch, not only in terms of moral integrity, but also in civil and military talent.

"Actually, you don't have to die, with your father-in-law's talent, if you use it in a serious place, you will be able to use it well, and the future is unlimited. Now that the rogues, the Tartars are all there, the Ming Dynasty is in danger, and the father-in-law is looking for death at this time, how can he be worthy of the court? ”

Zhou Shixian looked at Lu Jiude, and naturally wanted to say such things, regardless of whether he fully approved of it or not.

"Hmph, our family also asks the horse master not to be delusional, our family is one person to do things, it is absolutely impossible to say anything, let alone help the horse to testify."

It's just that Lu Jiude didn't seem to be interested in this at all, and sneered: "What's more, one servant doesn't serve the two masters, although our family is not a complete person, but it is also reasonable and loyal." ”

"Hahaha, what this horse values is his father-in-law."

Zhou Shixian immediately smiled and said: "Moreover, this horse doesn't need you to do any proof, who do you really want to kill, there are a hundred ways to do this, why do you need evidence?" ”

"You ......"

Lu Jiude glared at Zhou Shixian fiercely, speechless for a while, he had a hunch that the person in front of him was definitely not scaring him.

"Father-in-law Lu can rest assured, this horse is not the kind of person who is cruel and unreasonable. Besides, at this moment, indiscriminate killing can only be said to be counterproductive and not beneficial to the country. ”

Zhou Shixian said lightly: "But does Grandpa Lu really not consider what Ben Ma just said?" ”

Lu Jiude shook his head and didn't speak, he had already given the answer just now.

For Lu Jiude, King Fu is his master, and it is natural for him to serve him, and although Zhou Shixian is a concubine, he does have some lord's spirit, but this is not worth his life.

"But ......"

Lu Jiude's eyes suddenly had some brilliance, for fear that Zhou Shixian would refuse, so he hurriedly said: "However, there is another request before our family dies, I hope that the master of the horse will be fulfilled." Our family, our family wants to see the leading general of the horse, such a talent, the horse must be used more. ”

Zhou Shixian was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't hear clearly, and then laughed.

Lu Jiude looked at the other party and smiled, a little unclear, he just thought that for himself, a dying person who refused to cooperate, the other party no longer planned to pretend to be a recruiter, and even laughed in his heart: "Guangzong is in the same vein, virtue is not worthy, now it is exposed." ”

And after Zhou Shixian was stunned for a moment, he immediately figured out what Lu Jiude was talking about, it turned out that the other party was still thinking about the person who defeated him.

After laughing, he stood up and said slowly, "The person you are looking for is Ben Pony." ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Jiude listened to it, but he held back a smile on his face, and he didn't believe it at all, after all, if the other party had this ability, he would still end up in such a situation and flee south to Qinghe?

"What, my father-in-law still doesn't believe me?"

Zhou Shixian didn't mean to blame him, paused, and continued: "Then think about it, these soldiers and ruffians in the Beijing camp, the Jinyi Wei General Banner who knocked you off the horse, which one can command the other party?" ”

Lu Jiude listened to it, and thought about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the truth: such a plan, such a complex relationship, in addition to Chongzhen, perhaps only the most favored imperial concubine can do it.

Chongzhen has naturally been ruled out, so there are only horses.

And the other party seems to be only seventeen years old this year, even if he had this strength before, I'm afraid it would be ......

Looking at the surprised expression on the other side, Zhou Shixian knew that this smart man had figured things out, and immediately said: "Father-in-law Lu, you are a human being, not a slave of anyone, what one master and two masters, why bother to put it on yourself?" With the talent of his father-in-law, how many people can compare, why bother to break this good life in vain? ”

Lu Jiude seemed to be moved, looked up at Zhou Shixian, but still didn't speak, his heart is too complicated now, if everything that the colt in front of him said is true, then ...... Da Ming, Da Ming has hope.

Seeing this, Zhou Shixian knew that the other party had been a little moved, and continued: "If you want to save the Fu King, then you have to keep Daming, and my father-in-law shouldn't understand, under the nest, there are eggs?" ”

Zhou Shixian saw that the other party was obviously touched, approached again, looked at Lu Jiude, and said again:

"Lu Jiude is dead today, and he was beheaded by the general Xue Changfu, and in the future, there is only Lu Jiude under the command of this horse in the world, and there is no slave Lu Jiude."
