Chapter 2685 The Capital (41)

Gou Chengxuan stood in a daze in front of the Ziming Building on Huifu Street that had been looted, thinking of her family being ruined and her future ruined, a kind of inexplicable grief and indignation welled up in her heart.The nameless evil fire had no way to vent, and Gou Chengxuan could only pick up a broken brick on the side of the road, smash it vigorously against the sealed door, and roared through gritted teeth: "Shameless bastard, I curse you all to die!"

"Young master, why is this so?" Gou Chengxuan didn't expect that there would be someone in the deep alley next to him, the sudden sound frightened him so much that he thought it was a thief chasing him, and almost knelt down and begged for mercy.After taking a closer look, Gou Chengxuan discovered that the speaker was a wandering Taoist with gray beard and hair.The Taoist priest used the guise of "cutting straight through the iron mouth" and sat upright on the side of the road, with a Taoist boy standing behind him, looking quite like an outsider.

"Who are you?" Gou Chengxuan asked boldly when he saw that the other party didn't look like a gangster.

"Testing characters by face to face, eliminating disasters and disasters." The Taoist smiled slightly, and pointed at the cover with his whisk, "The poor Taoist travels all over the world, and happened to pass by the precious land. Today's meeting is a fate, why don't you come and count it."

"I don't have any money." Gou Chengxuan tightened his cloth robe to ensure that the life-saving money hidden in his arms was still there.

"I won't take any money." The Taoist still had an unpredictable smile, "Excuse me for being a poor man, but I'm afraid the young master has been harmed by a traitor, so it's difficult for me?"

Gou Chengxuan's curiosity was aroused by the other party's talk about the pain, and he walked up to him suspiciously and asked, "Why did the Taoist priest teach me?"

"Wealth and fortune, future and marriage, whatever the young master wants to ask, just give me a word." The Taoist said flattening the scroll, and the Taoist handed over the pen and ink respectfully.

Gou Chengxuan gave a wry smile, thinking that if the Kun thief is not eradicated, what future is there for him to talk about, he wrote the word "thief" after thinking for a while: "Just ask how long the Kun thief will run rampant?"

"It's a strange question, sir." The Taoist pointed to the word "thief" and shook his head to dismantle it. "According to this word, the thief is probably not very easy to deal with. The character for thief is from the bottom to the army. Fighting, if you have these two, you can rule the roost. This time the imperial court has used troops, one has not cut off its money and food, and the other has not defeated its soldiers. It seems that those thieves are going to occupy Qiongzhou for a long time."

"Could it be that I, Ming, can't deal with these gangsters?" Gou Chengxuan lamented with a desolate expression, and continued to ask, "Can the Taoist priest be counted in the future?"

"Sir, take a look."

Gou Chengxuan stretched out his hand, but he didn't want to be caught by the Taoist. He was startled and wanted to break free, but he didn't expect that it seemed to be clamped by iron tongs, and he couldn't break free for a while.Gou Chengxuan didn't dare to say anything, so she had to beg for mercy in a low voice: "Master Dao, why are you bothering? If you want money, how much money do I have to give you here... Aw... If you don't let go, I will call someone!"

However, the Taoist not only did not let go, but said with a smile: "Sir, do you have an enmity with that gangster? Let's talk about it, poor Daoist and sir."

The Taoist's words were right, and Gou Chengxuan couldn't help being agitated when he said it.But thinking that Gou Chengxuan was also the master who escaped from death several times, how could he easily reveal his life experience, even if he was in a hurry, he just said in a haha: "Why did the Taoist priest say that?" He wanted to be perfunctory.

"Mr. Guan's handwriting with golden hooks and iron paintings is indispensable for ten years of hard work. Looking at Mr.'s cloth robe, although it is made of high-quality new materials, it is often stained and damaged. I think these days must be quite embarrassing. Mr. Fangcai again Throwing bricks at the old nest of the thieves is not difficult to guess." The Taoist paused intentionally, and after he had whetted his appetite, he lowered his voice and teased, "Mr. Well, there is still a red flag at the gate of the governor's office. Anyone who escapes privately and refuses to return to the camp will be treated as a spy."

Gou Chengxuan was covered in cold sweat by the words, and tremblingly said: "You...what do you want to do!"

"Hahaha, sir, don't panic, the poor Daoists don't like the few taels of silver rewards." The Taoist suddenly put away his smile, and asked sharply, "I'll ask you, but you lost from the battle?"

"So what if it is, so what if it's not!" Gou Chengxuan turned pale with shock, he was not an ordinary soldier, but an aide on the roster.Now that the entire army crossing the sea was wiped out, he fled back alone, and if he didn't report to the governor's office for investigation, it would be no good if he was caught.

It would be fine if he was a native of Guangzhou or an old man in the official army, but an out-and-out "outsider" plus "newcomer", with no background or backing, and a household registration of "Bandit Nest".If you really want to report for duty, isn't it a good "spies", and you may be "borrowed for use" by some lord.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be dizzy - the gangster is certainly hateful, but the ruthlessness of the official is even more frightening.From the journey in the past few months, he has fully experienced it.

Thinking of this, he said in a trembling voice: "Master Daoist, hero, let me let you go. As long as I know about it, I will tell you everything..."

"Since that's the case, there is something unclear about Pindao, and I hope you can tell the truth." The Taoist pointed to the south and asked, "How did He Zhentai lose this time?"

Gou Chengxuan suffered pain in his wrist, and he didn't dare to hide it, he shook it out like a bean: "The thieves are so sharp that the cavalry are not allowed to approach, and they were suppressed after several charges. The artillery is even more terrifying. Here, He Zhentai's Hongyi Cannon is no match at all..."

After listening to the narration, the Taoist's face became more gloomy, and he asked for details before letting go of his hand.Gou Chengxuan seemed to be pardoned, he jumped out when he saw the opportunity, and disappeared without a trace before the Taoist came back to his senses.Gou Chengxuan only found a secluded alley and stopped when he was running until he was about to die. Then he quickly took off his cloth robe and dressed himself up like a flower with his muddy face.

He didn't dare to stay in the city anymore, so he hurried to find a deserted place outside the city and hide it!

Seeing that he ran away without a trace, Liu Wei didn't care.He whispered a few words to Daotong.

It was not easy for this person to escape from the rebellious army in Qiongzhou. Not only did he have a deep hatred for the Kun thief in his speech, but he was also familiar with Kun's situation.It doesn't matter if he runs away now, as long as he looks for the right way in this city of Guangzhou, there is no one he can't find.

As for finding such a way out, it is not difficult for them who came from Beisi.

The summer heat in the southern country is still hot in October, and even after the three-way evening drum is played, it is still sweltering and oppressive.Liu Wei had been setting up a stall for a day and was about to pack up and go back to the hotel when suddenly a greeting came from his ear.

"Liu Mutou! Yo, it's really you!"

Liu Wei looked back, only to see a tall, lean man waving to him at the corner of the street.

"You are... Huang Laoliu! Why did I meet you here!"

This Huang Laoliu was originally a target of the supervisory officials in Beijing, and he had some friendship with Brother Liu Xiao.They reunited in a foreign land after not seeing each other for many years, and both of them became interested, so they found a wine shop together to catch up on the old days.Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.Speaking of the current situation, it turns out that Huang Laoliu also lost his job last year. Fortunately, he has a big brother here, so he came to Guangzhou to ask for a living.

Reunited after a long absence, the topic of the two has been from the secrets of the capital to the bandits in the South China Sea.Here Liu Wei is still lamenting the sharpness of the gun thief's firearms, but Huang Laoliu over there is full of disdain.I don't know if it's because of the alcohol, or if I'm talking big on purpose, Huang Laoliu patted his chest and shouted: "I think you and my brother have some skills, but what kind of sours ruined their jobs. You are so fucking useless. Look at those gangsters. Trash, even a few thieves can't do anything about it, and you won't be afraid of being laughed at if you say it."

"Brother Huang's words are wrong. That Kun thief's firearms are so sharp, it is said that even Hongyi cannons can't do anything about it!"

"Hehe, Brother Liu is scared out of his wits by those useless words. I think that gunk's firearms are not uncommon." When Huang Laoliu said this, he deliberately leaned over and lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "Brother, I But I've seen the real guy!"

"What the hell?"

Huang Laoliu looked smug, "Since I'm my brother, I'm not afraid to tell you what to say. Although the gangster is powerful, he's still a person if he's on the list. Brother has a gun for this gangster."

"Is this true?"

"That's still fake, brother, I'm looking for buyers for those bird guns now." Huang Laoliu laughed.

Liu Wei was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said in his heart that it really didn't take much effort to find a place where he had broken through the iron shoes. He had been looking for it for the past few months, but he didn't expect there to be a ready-made deal. How could he miss such a good thing: "Brother Huang is so kind!" Means! I don’t know if this sharp weapon can open my brother’s eyes?”

"Well..." Huang Laoliu rubbed his hands and scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed, "The things are in our hands, but what we are doing is not an ordinary business after all, and I am afraid that we will be tempted to get rich when we see the wind."

Hearing the key points in the words, Liu Wei quickly took out a silver ingot from his arms and took a photo: "Brother, what other buyer are you looking for? As long as it is genuine, the price is negotiable!"

"Brother Liu is so good at writing!" Huang Laoliu stared at Yinzi with glowing eyes, and his wine was three points sober, "Brother Liu, do you have a way to get rich?"

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, since I lost my job as the governor, brother, I have voted for a talented boss. This new boss has a high position and authority, and he is kind, but he only likes this thief's artifact. Don't say how much you Even if there is a cannon, we can take it away."

"It's easy to talk about, I'll rely on Brother Liu to take care of me from now on." Huang Laoliu was about to come to get the money, but Liu Bao shrank back:

"If you don't see the real Buddha, you don't burn incense. This is the rule of the world." After saying this, he threw out a bunch of copper coins, "I will keep the money for running errands, and I will be rewarded after the work is done."

Huang Laoliu sneered and said: "Understood! Don't worry, you can't miss anything! Brothers don't care about money or anything. If there is any opportunity to work, I hope the elder brother will take care of the younger brother!"

"Good to say."

Huang Laoliu put the copper coins in his arms, frowned suddenly, and said: "To tell you the truth, Brother Liu, the bird gun is just outside the city. It was convenient a few days ago, but now the thieves are doing harm at the mouth of the Pearl River, and the city gate is strictly guarded." There are a lot of them, and all the past goods have to be checked. The bird guns have to be delivered outside the city."
