314 People die for money

The setting sun sets west, the setting sun is like blood, and the harmonious sunshine shines on the desolate and quiet land, as if it is trying its best to drive away the coldness of all things on the earth and give this disaster-stricken land a little comfort. Under the setting sun, a figure of a soldier wearing cotton armor is long, and it looks so desolate in the wilderness, but the figure stands straight in the bleak cold wind.

There are not many soldiers who can be so self-disciplined without the current supervision, and Lu Haoshan's soldiers can do it.

The one guarding here was Zhang Ping, the captain of the first scout team of the Wenchong Qianhu Institute, and Zheng Hui, the subordinate of Zheng Hui. Today it was their turn to be on duty in the east.

"Ah" After looking at the sun that was about to go down the mountain, Zhang Ping yawned a long time, pulled the cotton armor on his body with his hand, and muttered: "This ghost weather is much colder than our Sichuan. It's so cold before November has arrived."

"That's not," Zheng Hui echoed: "Although this place is close to the capital, it may not be very good. Our land is a famous country of Heavenly Prefecture, which is incomparable. Fortunately, we are generous and have bought us an extra layer of underwear. If we rely solely on the cotton armor sent by the court, we will be cold."

Lu Haoshan's opponents have always been generous, and they can provide enough food and salary, and even take care of them in terms of clothing. Before the cold winter comes, they put a pair of thick underwear to their subordinates, so Wen Chong's soldiers stood up straight in the cold wind, unlike other troops, who trembled when the cold wind blew.

Looking at the warm underwear on his body, Zhang Ping thought to himself: It is said that men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. In fact, there should be another saying that they have to follow the right person when they enter the right industry. If they follow those generals who drink blood, they will probably live a worse life than a dog.

"Captain, there is something wrong." Zhang Ping was thinking, and Zheng Hui beside him suddenly reminded.

Zhang Ping felt nervous and asked quickly: "What's the matter?"

Zheng Hui handed the Qianlimu in his hand to Zhang Ping, and said, "Captain, look, it seems that a team of Shaanxi soldiers are coming."

Zhang Ping took Qianlimu and saw that, yes, a team of about 1,000 people was heading towards him. Looking at the outfits and faces, they were the Shaanxi soldiers. The soldiers were all pale and thin, as if they were wilted leaves. They were not energetic, and some people who looked like officers were whipping their subordinates with horse whips.

"It's getting dark, why are these people still rushing to the road? If you don't set up camp, it's getting dark." Zheng Hui murmured from the side.

"I guess I received an order from the military headquarters. Those masters sitting in the yamen didn't care about my hard work in the army. A single order made the soldiers run away desperately. What's this called? Shangguan moved his mouth and the soldiers ran away and broke their feet." Zhang Ping hesitated for a moment. He said quickly: "Xiaohui, go and see what their background is."

"Yes, captain." Zheng Hui responded. Then he pulled out the horse hidden in the woods, turned over the horse, and shouted lightly, directly questioning the army of unknown origin.

It’s fine if you meet me on weekdays, but the Feilai Peak is twenty miles away. It is the base camp of our own people. Lord Qianhu lives on Feilai Peak, everything is for safety reasons.

Just when Zheng Hui went to interrogate, Zhang Ping kept paying attention to his every move with his eyes. This would be beneficial. In case of any emergency, the person left behind could also deliver a letter to the headquarters. Just at Zhang Ping's feet, there was a cage wrapped in cotton cloth outside, with two carrier pigeons used to deliver information.

If there is anything wrong, release it immediately. Within half a quarter of an hour, the base camp will receive the news.

In the eyes of thousands of miles, Zhang Ping saw Zheng Hui communicating with a captain-like person. He didn't know what the two said. Zheng Hui nodded from time to time, and patted the captain on the shoulder before leaving.

"Xiaohui, where are they coming from? Seeing you talking and laughing with them, why did you meet an old friend?" After Zheng Hui came back, Zhang Ping couldn't wait to ask.

"No, captain, these are the soldiers of General Cao from Shaanxi. According to them, they were going to Wu'an to encircle and suppress the enemy. Because the road was delayed, they had to rush to go even if it was almost dark. That person was not an old friend. That is to say, we were from the Qianhu House of Wenchong, and that person looked jealous and said that they were suffering and how we were doing well. Just comfort him two words."

They all eat the food of the public, and they communicate and cooperate when suppressing bandits. When they have too much contact, the Wenchong troops of the Sichuan Army have become the object of envy of each army. How can they not envy them? They use horses to make transportation, eat, live, and have good food and salary. The generals are not greedy and have no credit, nor are they deducted food and salary, and they are never ruthless when rewarding.

I don’t know how many people secretly asked Lu Qianhu whether he would recruit people again. Some captains said that as long as they were willing to accept them, they would be willing to be a soldier.

Zhang Ping asked with a rigorous look: "Have you asked clearly? You can't be careless."

"No problem, captain, they all got the code words, and they also had General Cao's warrant."

It’s Wu’an again, I’m really uneasy recently. Zhang Ping has also heard that many mobs have had abnormal activities recently. I guess they are doing something to go to Wu’an again. The Shaanxi soldiers rushed to fight, needless to say, it’s also for this matter.”

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Zhang Ping stopped saying anything, took out his pen and slapped it in his mouth a few times, brushed it and wrote a few secret words, then skillfully tied it to the bamboo tube on the legs of one of the flying pigeons. With his hand raised, the carrier pigeon soared into the sky, and the wings just shook a few times and soon disappeared in the forest.

Just after the pigeon was released, Zheng Hui suddenly saw the team member who was talking to him and walked over with a few people smiling. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Stop, Captain Huang, what are you going to do?"

"Oh, brother." Captain Huang opened his mouth and showed his big yellow teeth, and said familiarly: "Don't be nervous, brother, I have something good to take you."

"What's the matter?" They were all their own people. They had just said something, and Zheng Hui didn't doubt it and asked strangely.

Captain Huang opened a package, and Zhang Ping and Zheng Hui's eyes lit up. The package was full of jewelry and jewelry. Before Zhang Ping could speak, Captain Huang said directly: "We have been on the road for a few days. We ate steamed buns that are as hard as stone every day. A bird faded out of our mouths. Our adults asked me to find something to eat. I wonder if the two brothers have any wine and meat. We exchanged these for some wine and meat to honor our adults. The price is easy. Don't worry, we will definitely not lose to the two of you."

It turned out to be looking for food.

Zhang Ping and Zheng Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and spoke politely, but felt a little contemptuous in their hearts. They thought that these jewelry were very much for robbing the people. He heard that he was buying things to honor their boss, and probably he used the things he stolen to flatter his boss. He was really obedient.

This was clearly a way for him to strike the bamboo pole. Zhang Ping and Zheng Wei looked at each other and nodded slightly. It was obvious that both of them were moved.

How many people are not moved in front of gold, silver and wealth?

This is a fortune that comes to your door.

The two of them took out the jerky meat they had treasured on their bodies, which was used to drive away the cold wine. Lu Haoshan was very generous to these subordinates who were standing guard. They took out a small pile of food, and two small jars of wine to drive away the cold.

"Not bad" Captain Huang held the food in his hand and said generously: "It's not easy to take out this little thing from this wilderness. Let's do it. Two brothers choose the same thing, even if they make friends."

He was really generous. Those things were not worth much money. Unexpectedly, Captain Huang was so generous that he asked each person to pick one. Zhang Ping and Zheng Hui just saw that there were a lot of valuable things inside.

Now they are getting rich. These guys are so generous, they probably snatched these things, so they don’t cherish them either.

Zhang Ping and Zheng Hui were happy when they heard this. After thanking him, they squatted down to pick up gold and silver. Zhang Ping picked up a string of pearl chains and was hesitating. He suddenly felt a pain in his chest, as if he had lost control of his body. He subconsciously looked down and saw a half-sharp blade in front of his chest, and blood was still dripping from the tip of the knife.

I suddenly realized that I was imprisoned. These people were definitely not as simple as Shaanxi soldiers. Zhang Ping wanted to resist, shout loudly, and let the pigeons in the cage show warning, but it was all too late. The fatal knife seemed to take away all the strength of his body. However, Zhang Ping felt that he was not lonely, because before he fell down, he saw his subordinate Zheng Hui, his head was twisted in the back exaggerated manner, and his eyes were about to protrude.

It was caught off guard and forced people to break their necks. Like himself, their eyes were wide open, and they died with their eyes open. At the moment of losing consciousness, Zhang Ping understood a truth: people die for money, and birds die for food.

After successfully dealing with the two, a soldier dressed up, and the inconspicuous people came out, glanced at the two corpses on the ground, nodded with satisfaction: "Notify those behind to follow, and the rest of them continue to move forward."

"Yes, leader of horses." Everyone's faces stern and responded quickly.

The person who spoke was Lao Huihui. After being recommended by everyone, he was the commander-in-chief of this operation. In order to ensure that the operation can proceed smoothly, everyone obeyed his dispatch. Those who violated the order could be killed on the spot, even if they were not his own soldiers.

Lao Huihui narrowed his eyes, with a sharp murderous aura in his eyes, and said in his heart: It is only twenty miles away from success.

In the cold moon and October, although the cold wind was raging outside, the temporary barracks in Lu Haoshan were filled with red tents. There was a bonfire in the middle of the tent, and a large iron pot was hanging on it. There were large pieces of mutton rolling in the pot. As the rolling, the smell of meat came to the nose, making people salivate.

Every time we rest, it is an opportunity for Lu Haoshan to train troops and win over the hearts of the people. He often holds banquets in the tent, invites his subordinates, and discusses war while eating. While talking and laughing, not only will the subordinates grow better, but the friendship between them is also constantly sublimating.

Many soldiers were proud of being invited by Lu Haoshan. It was obvious that this was a sign of their confidant.

If you were invited by Lu Haoshan the most, it was undoubtedly Tang Qiang and Li Dingguo. They were Lu Haoshan's right-hand man. Lu Haoshan's many things were handed over to these two people, so they would always be there. Of course, Sun Xiong, Dashan, and Zhao Gongchang were also very important, but they were different because of their ability issues: Sun Xiong is very powerful but his IQ is average, and he is stubborn. He is the most suitable to give Ji Feng to him on weekdays. He is known as Shadow, because he admires Lu Haoshan, and he should do whatever Lu Haoshan said. He has no opinion, so he became Lu Haoshan's "shadow". Zhao Gongchang and Dashan are good at reconnaissance and inquire about news. If they always want to run outside, they are jokingly called "left leg and right foot".

However, the two did not feel anything wrong. As Lu Haoshan's subordinates, they were proud of it.

While eating and drinking, Li Dingguo suddenly put his ear on the ground, listened for a moment, and suddenly said with a serious look: "There is movement, it seems that a large group of people are heading here."
