Chapter 19: Return to the capital

Hou Xiaofeng said goodbye to Chai Bo, went down the mountain along the path, and walked along the avenue in the direction of the capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The road was unimpeded, much easier than the mountain road, but in less than a day, Hou Xiaofeng entered the city.

Hou Xiaofeng didn't encounter any guerrilla generals along the way, and the city in front of him looked orderly, not like there had been a war, but there were more soldiers with guns at the city gate, and they were very strict in and out.

Hou Xiaofeng didn't dare to approach rashly, and pulled an old man out of the city from a distance and asked, "Old man, what's wrong with the city, you have to search your body when you enter and exit?"

The old man snorted, "I've been fighting for days, and I've just stopped. ”

Hou Xiaofeng asked, "What kind of war? Are they searching for someone?"

The old man sighed: "When the soldiers are fighting for power, who knows what kind of battle to fight, anyway, whoever wins listens to whom, what does it have to do with us, if you want to search." ”

Hou Xiaofeng asked again: "Is it okay in the city?"

The old man snorted, walked forward with his hands behind his back, and replied without looking back, "Okay, okay!"

Hou Xiaofeng was confused, and was about to go into the city to find out, when suddenly a person came to him, who was wearing a black coat, a pair of rolled pants, a pair of flat scalp shoes on his feet, and his hair seemed to be smeared with hair wax and other things, and he was combed back very neatly.

Hou Xiaofeng looked up and down, feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, but the person came over to greet Hou Xiaofeng like an acquaintance: "Oh, isn't this a little crazy monkey, it's been a few days, where are you going?"

Hou Xiaofeng was still trying to figure out who this person was, and that person had already come to Hou Xiaofeng, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "What, you don't know me? You used to call me a bed bug, and the bed bug knows!"

As soon as the man said this, Hou Xiaofeng suddenly remembered that there was such a number one person, one of the few gangsters in the Tianqiao area, who always wore sloppy clothes and had a sour smell on his body, so he was called a bed bug.

Hou Xiaofeng followed Li Cripple into Rongxing and made a living by stealing, while the bedbugs and their gangsters joined the Green Gang to make a living by extortion, all of which belong to the unsightly business, although on the surface the well water on both sides does not violate the river water, but in private they look down on each other, so Hou Xiaofeng and the bedbug don't see each other much, and now the bedbug is dressed like this, Hou Xiaofeng naturally can't remember who it is for a while.

Hou Xiaofeng was stunned, thinking that although he was not an acquaintance, he could be regarded as an acquaintance, not to mention that people took the initiative to come up to say hello, so he replied with a smile: "I know each other, I really haven't seen you for a few days, what's going on in this city, I heard that it's a war?"

"It's a long story, let's find a place to talk?", the bug said, making a gesture of please.

Hou Xiaofeng originally wanted to go into the city to find the old pig and the little mouse, but after thinking about it, the bed bug's dress and style, it must be easier to enter the city with him, and there must have been a lot of big things in the capital recently, the old pig They don't have to say where they are, it's okay to ask the bed bug, anyway, let's go in first, but why the bed bug suddenly found him didn't understand it for a while.

The bedbug swayed to the city gate, Hou Xiaofeng followed behind him, and the soldiers standing guard saw the bedbug coming, and immediately stood straight, saluted and shouted: "Captain Zhang is good!"

Seeing the scene in front of him, the bed bug was obviously very useful, and his face bloomed, and he waved his hand at the two soldiers and said, "This is my brother, so there is no need to check." ”

The two soldiers saluted again, "Yes!" and stepped aside.

The bedbug still smiled from ear to ear: "Crazy monkey, I used to be the same as you, and the bedbug and bedbug didn't have a serious name, but now my name is Zhang Yang, and I am the captain of the security brigade, and I don't have to live the same days as before, go, my brother will take you to a good place." ”

Hou Xiaofeng thought to himself how this bed bug turned into a security captain, but he was not there for a few days, how things in the capital had become strange, and he began to secretly ponder what Xuan Yi said, no matter what he saw or heard, don't act impulsively and rashly, retreating with his whole body is the complete strategy, so he was also alert to the things around him.

The bed bug took Hou Xiaofeng through the streets and alleys, all the way to Wangchun Tower, Hou Xiaofeng looked all the way, the street building did not see anything, compared with the previous is no different, the bed bug brought him to this Wangchun Lou Hou Xiaofeng also knew, it is a famous Fengyue place, this bed bug changed a skin, but the bones still did not change, with a lewd smile and steps into the Wangchun Tower.

Hou Xiaofeng looked up at the signboard of Wangchun Tower behind the bedbug and scolded in his heart: "Damn, what do you want to say here?!", although he is ignorant about men and women at this age, he is also a little familiar with it, so he is a hundred unwilling to come to Wangchun Tower, but he can't let him think much at the moment, and he followed the bed bug into the door after a little hesitation.

As soon as the two entered the door, a mother-in-law with heavy makeup twisted her body and beckoned: "Hey, Captain Zhang is here, and he brought such a handsome little brother, Cuiyu and Hongxing hurriedly came to greet him." ”

The bedbug shouted: "A little incense, hurry up and find a quiet private room, Lao Tzu is here to do business today." ”

A little fragrant smile and said: "Oh, jade, isn't the red apricot here to do business." ”

The bedbug ignored her, and walked straight to the second floor, a little incense didn't look right, and shouted towards the second floor: "Hemp, hemp, where are you dead, why don't you hurry up and invite Captain Zhang to Xiangyue Pavilion!"

Hou Xiaofeng followed the bedbug into the Xiangyue Pavilion, and after the two sat down, the bedbug spoke: "Brother Monkey, we are old acquaintances, I won't talk nonsense with you, now the capital looks stable, in fact, it's very messy, right now, brother, I am lacking a few good hands like you, if you are willing, I will naturally not treat you badly." ”

Hou Xiaofeng didn't answer this, but asked, "What's going on with the war in the capital?"

The bedbug was surprised: "Don't you know? Why don't you say it, Zhang Dashuai is now in charge of the capital, and I have a relative with Zhang Dashuai, so I will be a half-official person, and when the time comes, I will also introduce you to you." ”

Hou Xiaofeng has no concept of Zhang Dashuai in the mouth of the bedbug, and he doesn't care about the introduction or anything, he has a little more understanding of the words of the old man he just met at this time, the struggle for power and power of the soldier is a matter of concern to me, anyway, who is the emperor, Lao Tzu is not just a thief, how long can this kind of errand be beautiful, it is better to have a real ability, and end up at ease.

Looking at the thoughtful Hou Xiaofeng, the bug said tentatively: "How about it, Brother Monkey, think about it? I will definitely not treat you badly." ”

Hou Xiaofeng didn't have much interest in following the bedbugs, but he thought that he was now the captain of the security brigade, and it should be easier to inquire about individuals, so he asked: "I went out a few days ago, but I didn't expect such a big thing to happen, I don't know if the flyover is still safe now, Captain Zhang is still going to walk around over there?

The bedbug shouted: "Hey, what are you calling Captain Zhang in our relationship, just call me Brother Yang, Tianqiao Ansheng is very good, not only Ansheng, many brothers have entered the security brigade!"

Hou Xiaofeng heard the bedbug say that he wanted to call him Brother Yang, and he felt nauseous, and said in his mouth: "Yang...... Brother Yang, my little brother is also in your security brigade?"

The bed bug laughed and said: "Yes, of course, Zhang Dashuai is informal, as long as he has righteousness and skill, he is quite important, think about it, isn't it our brothers who have righteousness and skill?", the bed bug glanced at Hou Xiaofeng, his eyes rolled, as if he remembered something: "What is that skinny boy called? Xiaodouzi? and the fat one seems to be called Lao Pig, they are all here." ”

Seeing that Hou Xiaofeng was silent, the bed bug continued to say proudly: "Think about what kind of life they used to live, now follow me to eat and drink spicy, and when you have nothing to do, you can still come to this Wangchun Tower to find the little girl, let me tell you that there are a few here who are smart, then ......", the bed bug said endlessly with an intoxicated face.

Hou Xiaofeng didn't listen to what he said at all, and he was full of doubts in his heart, the little bean sprouts originally went to the West Mountain with him, wasn't he taken away by the four heroes of Xiangling, but was saved by the later Qian Sanye? In this way, it is reasonable for the little bean sprouts to be in the capital, or the thin man that the bed bug said is actually a little mouse, but he remembered the wrong person, so he said it wrong? In short, the bed bug that suddenly appeared was not right, and it seemed that he had to get rid of himself and investigate.

The bedbug looked at Hou Xiaofeng in a daze, thinking that he was itching by his own persuasion, and said with a lewd smile: "How about Brother Hou, with your qualifications, it won't be a problem to mix up with the vice captain in a short time, and then my brother will bring you here to be happy!"

Hou Xiaofeng scolded in his heart: "Vice captain, you're a fucking ghost, who is fucking rare!"

However, although Hou Xiaofeng thought so in his heart, he didn't show much on his face, and laughed with him haha: "It's easy to say, I haven't seen my brothers for a few days, I'll see them first, and I'll definitely come to Brother Yang when the time comes." ”

The bedbug's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Okay, your brother is there with me, just go now, I'll take you to see Adjutant Han by the way", saying that the bedbug got up and was about to leave.

Hou Xiaofeng asked, "Who is Adjutant Han?"

The bedbug urged: "Adjutant Han is my immediate boss, just in the Qian family's compound, Qian Sanye has set aside a room for Adjutant Han to work, let's leave now", the bedbug walked out of the door.

Hou Xiaofeng followed the bedbug out of the door, thinking that the bedbug was too strange, and he had to find a reason to get rid of him quickly and find out for himself.
