lethal arsenal

Chapter 33 Zhang Wenxiang's Request
Rumbling, several thunderclaps, and a torrential waterfall.

At first, Lin Dong thought it was thunder and rain, but soon he and Luo Xingyun realized that they had made a mistake.

The rain in the carriage directly wet the shoes, and the car was leaking.

The rainwater on the blue mudstone slabs poured down like a small river, submerging the horseshoes.

In this case, it seems that nothing is appropriate, and it is like a warning from the gods to the world.

"Master Lin, should we do that matter another day?"

Luo Xingyun didn't pay attention to studying abroad, and learned all the skills of the West, but he was a real Hongmiao of the Qing Dynasty, and his thinking was very old-fashioned.

Of course, in this world, it is good to be conservative.

After all, if monsters are allowed to exist, shouldn't ghosts and gods be allowed to interact with each other?
"Tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows? Just today, today I will go to meet Emperor Wenchang."

Lin Dong had a stubborn temper and said forcefully.

It is not convenient for construction on heavy rainy days, but the rain can't last all day, right?
He opened the curtain, looked at the thick dark clouds through the window, and muttered silently in his heart.

"Come and buy big and small, buy and leave."

Zhang Wenxiang of the Military Control Office is playing money with a group of brothers.

The sound of the torrential rain outside did not alarm him at all.

"Tell you generals, I'm here. By the way, help me find my clothes, add some umbrellas, and send them to the people in the car."

Lin Dong went under the eaves, and took off his wet mandarin jacket and inner clothes, revealing his lean body, with flesh on the bones, and every muscle and muscle looked solid and strong.

The pawns with knives at the door were dumbfounded, they didn't recognize Lin Dong, and thought to themselves who is this, who is so generous and treats the barracks as his own home.

Immediately, the expressions of the two pawns became unfriendly, grinning like two hyenas grinding their teeth.

It hasn't happened yet.

Among them, a one-armed pawn wearing armor and saber recognized Lin Dong with sharp eyes.

"Clap."

He slapped the other two pawns on the heads, and shouted: "Don't call anyone, this is the third master."

Lin Dong had some impressions. If I remember correctly, this guy was also called Ergou, and Zhang Wenxiang dug him out from the pile of dead people in Cuiyu Tower.

One arm is missing, but life is still alive.

It seems that he has become a small boss now.

"Three masters."

The crowd suddenly changed their faces and shouted in unison.

The Taiping Army entered Yangchang. Among them, the British king Chen Yucheng transferred a brigade to Ma Xinyi, a brigade of 500 people, and the chief was also called brigade commander.

The position is under the commander-in-chief, and the five brigades are one division.

The military ranks of the Taiping Army followed the "Zhou Li", which was relatively easy to distinguish, and the remaining four brigades were recruited by Ma Xinyi himself.

The cakes of the Taiping Army are very large. In fact, it is not bad for a division to have six or seven adults.

The brigade commander who was transferred was firstly to supplement Ma Xinyi's strength, and secondly, he also had the meaning of monitoring.

"Your name is Ergou?"

Lin Dong greeted the pawn.

"Yes, please remember. The second head said that you don't need to report when you come, just go in and find him."

Er Gou responded cheerfully, although he lost his arm, his personality was still very cheerful.

"By the way, master, I still have a change of clothes here, why don't you make do with it first."

"Thank you."

I won't mention some small things.

After a little tossing, Lin Dong could still hear Zhang Wenxiang yelling inside, "His grandma is a bear, and I want to get everything back for me."

"Zhang Shuai, that's not necessarily the case. I see you—you're doomed."

In another laughing voice, he retorted slightly jokingly.

Zhang Wenxiang's dog temper has always been very kind and licking to capable people.

Lick the dog's lick.

As for those who are not as capable as him, he often looks down on them. Who would dare to talk to him like that in the military camp?
Lin Dong's thoughts wandered, he put on a starched military uniform, and walked in.

The hall was full of people, making it look like a casino.

Many men who didn't look like ordinary officers were playing dice, buying big and small, shouting and growling endlessly.

Zhang Wenxiang's table should be in the middle, surrounded by a lot of people.

Smell the smell of sweat in the air.

Lin Dong frowned subconsciously, "Excuse me."

He gently pawed and pulled with both hands, and the strong men whose muscles were knotted on both sides and opened their clothes were all pulled aside one after another.

The scolding sound was about to sound.

But as soon as he met Lin Dong's eyes, he died down again, and not everyone could bear the stabbing gaze like a knife.

A ferocious air surrounded him.

"Hey, third brother, you're here."

Zhang Wenxiang turned his head, just in time to see Lin Dong standing beside him.

Lin Dong smiled, but turned his eyes to the person who gambled with Zhang Wenxiang.

The one who played with money squinted his eyes, and there was a cold light between his brows.

The man was thin and short, like a monkey.

This reminded Lin Dong of Old Freak Liu of Han Fang Plaster.

However, Old Monster Liu is a mandrill and a wild monkey.

This guy looks like a lawless demon monkey, and because he is really short and short, he is full of demon nature. If we have to make an analogy, the monkey in Xingye’s Journey to the West Conquering Demons was a bit like a monkey, probably Sun Wukong without his armor.

"Your Excellency is Lin Sanye who is endowed with supernatural power."

Monkey clasped his fists and saluted.

"I have seen it, who dare to ask who is your lord?"

Lin Dong bowed his hand and returned the gift.

"Lan Chengchun."

With one mouthful of spittle and one pit, Lan Chengchun's words were resolute and forceful.

Zhang Wenxiang on the side helped to introduce: "Brother Lan is one of the four King Kongs under the British throne, a master of martial arts, a monkey fist and a gas stick in martial arts are superb, Yuanjue, you can call him an old man."

"It's been a long time, old man."

Lin Dong was obedient and called him that.

Lan Chengchun sneered and said: "Why is senior not senior, maybe you are still superior to me, and I will have to call you master when I see you in the future."

Lin Dong thought about the meaning of these words, he hehe and didn't say much.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhang Wenxiang quickly pulled Lin Dong's arm and said, "What do you need from me?"

"Yeah, second brother, you've forgotten your business. I remember two days ago, didn't you take over a job? It's all done?"

Lin Dong asked with a smile.

"Stinky boy, is it your turn to mention me?"

Zhang Wenxiang scolded with a smile, then cupped his fists and said to Lan Chengchun: "Brother Lan, let me talk to brother about something first, let's continue the joy later."

"Come on, go ahead."

After a few words, Zhang Wenxiang led Lin Dong to another room, and he could still vaguely hear the shouts from the gaming tables in the hall.

"Stinky boy, don't you think I'm really easy to gamble?"

Zhang Wenxiang said with a hippie smile.

Lin Dong didn't make trouble with him, but just kept a straight face: "Why, isn't it? Little sister-in-law knows, and she has to peel your skin."

When Zhang Wenxiang heard this, he was not happy.

"What nonsense, Bai Zhi is my junior sister. Besides, I was ordered by my elder brother to find out about this man? Find out if he is a mule or a horse, and what is his temper? What can I do?"

Zhang Wenxiang glared and boasted.

"It seems that I really misunderstood him."

Lin Dong's thought flashed, and immediately, the expression on his face changed, and he squeezed out a smile: "Apologize to brother, I misunderstood you."

"Hmph, it's good to know."

Zhang Wenxiang sat down on the wooden chair, and Lin Dong quickly made him a cup of tea.

Zhang Wenxiang was also polite, took it casually, and said after puffing: "Is it because of Wenchang Academy?"

Lin Dong nodded.

"This matter is troublesome. There is a Taoist temple in Yangchang called Bailong. In the past, when the old Taoist leader was in a hurry, he would go to that white dragon temple to copy scriptures. I even smashed it. The statue of the White Dragon King was pushed down by myself. But Wenchang Academy, I have been procrastinating."

Zhang Wenxiang spoke very slowly this time, and it was rare that he articulated his words very clearly.

Lin Dong could feel the emotion when he mentioned the old Taoist priest and the Taoist temple in his words.

Unwilling?

wrong.

lonely?

Doesn't seem right?
It should be a faint feeling of nostalgia, light and floating but always lingering around the body, with the breath again and again, it is expelled and then absorbed into the body.

"Even the place where the Taoist priest used to love to go, he smashed it. Why did Wenchang Academy..."

A flash of thought.

"Is there anything weird in there?"

Lin Dong thought for a while and asked.

"Nothing?"

Zhang Wenxiang took a sip of tea and gently put down the cup.

His eyes were a little worried and he said: "You don't have a job at the moment, so I'll draw a pawn from me to give you."

Five soldiers and one brigade of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The pawn is a military post, manages almost 100 people, and belongs to the first-level officer in the army establishment.

Zhang Wenxiang's voice paused, then took over the topic just now and said: "When the old Taoist leader was around, he always said that scholars are the hope of the whole world. I am not, and he is not."

"The only ones who can really take on the burden of the country are the seeds of reading. Therefore, the world should respect scholars. There are rules in the village. Among the three non-robbing, the second place is the scholar."

"Actually, I never thought of it this way. Every time I slaughter more dogs in righteousness, I read more people who are guilty of heart. The Hunan Army crossed the border and killed no less than the Taiping Army."

"The real suffering in the world will always be the dead souls who can't make a sound!"

"But among the scholars, there are always some people with lofty ideals who are willing to run for the lowest people, spilling their blood into the sky, so I can smash the Dragon King statue without changing my face, but I don't want to be disrespectful to Wenchang Academy. At least I will leave a little thought for the scholars."

"Actually, the Wenchang School in Yangchang County has no effect now. The county has not produced a single candidate for more than 30 years. There is only one poor scholar who is still guarding there, and enlightens young children on weekdays."

"It probably won't work, so I want to let it go! I also want to ask you, Lin Yuanjue, to let it go."

Zhang Wenxiang said slowly.

Lin Dong raised his eyebrows, never expecting this reason.

This makes it very difficult for him!

One big brother, one second brother, one wants to demolish the temple, and one is not allowed to demolish it.

Who do you listen to?
Listen to the big brother, after all, Ma Xinyi is the boss.

But the second brother Zhang Wenxiang also made sense.

Listen to the second brother?

Brother, don't you want to lose face?
Lin Dong was caught in the middle, in a dilemma.

"I'll think about it."

Lin Dong didn't give a direct answer, but said that Qianyan Wanyu had to take a look to know how to make a decision.

For the next itinerary, we can only pay homage to Emperor Wenchang first.
