So when the words came to his lips, he changed his words and said: "Actually, I am a Qianhu officer. This time I came to Mr. Bardo specifically to modify the guns."

Regarding Lao Wei, Lin Dong did not hide his intention to forge guns.

"It turns out it's Mr. Qianhu. I, Wei Haisheng, have met Mr. Qianhu." Old Wei hurriedly greeted him.

This is not the military, and you and I are not subordinates, so you don't need to be so polite.

"Thank you, Lord Qianhu." Old Wei did not dare to go overboard, but bowed politely.

Lin Dong didn't stop him. He wanted to seek a military position with a thousand households when he came out this time. If he said it in advance, it wouldn't be a lie. He secretly cursed in his heart.

Shang Ba has been working in the shopping mall for most of his life. Although he was wondering why Lin Dong pretended to be Qian Hu, he did not say anything. After all, merchants like them were not qualified to interfere in official affairs.

"Tell me about your origins." Now that he had impersonated Qianhu, Lin Dong decided to give full play to the value of his identity.

Sure enough, after hearing that Lin Dong was also a member of the Ming Army, Old Wei lowered his guard and immediately told the origins of himself and his brothers. According to Wei Haisheng, they were indeed born in the border army and were in Henan last month.

After a big battle with the Chuang army, the army was dispersed. They managed to break out of the siege and fled here.

With him were more than twenty brothers, all junior officers in the Shenji Battalion, including five general banners and eighteen minor banners.

Lin Dong nodded with satisfaction and said, "I wonder if it would be convenient to call all your brothers over?"

Old Wei had no doubt that he was there, and immediately greeted him, and the group of men who had just come out put down their guns and walked towards Lin Dong.

When Lin Dong saw these people, his jaw almost dropped. These people were all tall and tall. Compared with the soldiers he recruited, they were almost a head taller. It seemed that these people were the elite of the border army.

.

Thinking of this, Lin Dong secretly shouted in his heart that he came to the right place today and found a treasure.

"General, have you come to see us for anything?" Everyone looked at Old Wei in confusion and asked.

"It's Master Qianhu who wants to see you." Old Wei pointed at Lin Dong, and then pointed at the soldiers who had just arrived and introduced them one by one.

Lin Dong was thinking about how to draw these ninjas into his camp. After hearing what Old Wei said, Lin Dong immediately coughed and said: "Brothers, listen to what you, a hundred households, said, you were all born in the border army.

I wonder if you still want to return to the military?"

"Of course." Everyone agreed in unison. During this period of stay in Fengyang, this group of people had never suffered any kind of suffering. Even their leader, Old Wei, was almost beaten by a group of dandies who drank human blood.

If it hadn't been for that raking ear, Lao Wei, a hundred households, might have died at the hands of those dandy boys.

What happened was that just yesterday, Lao Wei and his brothers were really hungry. Lao Wei had no choice but to go into the city to find some work.

So he took everyone into the city and looked around for places to recruit workers.

But in these troubled times, refugees are everywhere, and the people's lives are in embarrassment. How many people can afford workers.

So more than 20 people walked around the street but couldn't find any suitable job.

Just when a few people were tired and hungry, a boss finally kindly took them in and asked them to help move some rice, and promised to treat them to a full meal as long as they finished moving the rice.

The twenty or so brothers of Lao Wei were so hungry that their eyes were green. As soon as they heard that there was something to eat, they immediately agreed and followed the shop owner to the dock and began to carry food.

However, just as they finished moving the grain, a dandy appeared out of nowhere, waving a folding fan in his hand, and kicked Old Wei, knocking him staggering.

Lao Wei was also a soldier. He was already tired and hungry. Now he was being bullied and he was ready to resist.

But at this moment, the store owner hurriedly ran out, grabbed him, and whispered the identity of the visitor.

It turned out that this man was actually the son of Magistrate Yan.

In the Ming Dynasty, he was a noble man but a weak man. When Old Wei heard that the other party turned out to be the prefect's son, he did not dare to take action anymore.

When Mr. Wei saw that Old Wei did not dare to fight back, he became even more arrogant, insulting and even punching and kicking Old Wei.

His brothers originally wanted to come up to help, but Old Wei didn't want to involve his brothers, so he resisted alone. It was in this way that he was almost beaten to death. Fortunately, at this time, Bardo rushed out from nowhere and killed Wei.

The young master knocked him away and snatched Old Wei out of the hands of those dandies.

Hearing this, Lin Dong couldn't help but sigh. A dignified officer was insulted at will by a prefect's son on the street. It was strange that a soldier in the Ming Dynasty was undefeated. His colleague felt a little weird. According to what Lao Wei said, then

It seems that the young master of Magistrate Yan also came here for the rice grain. I wonder if this matter has something to do with Magistrate Yan!

Lin Dong originally wanted to say that in this case you might as well just follow me.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. I'm afraid it's not good for him to solicit so unscrupulously.

He immediately smiled and said: "I have some contact with your commander, Mr. Hong. As far as I know, your commander, Mr. Hong, has returned to the north during this period. I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome to return to the team."

"General Hong has gone north?" Old Wei was shocked. It seemed that it was impossible to return to the army in a short time. However, although Fengyang City was the central capital, it was in dilapidated condition. He and others were already here.

I can't hold on any longer and don't know what to do.

"Not bad." Lin Dong nodded and said.

"It seems that we have to stay in Fengyang for a while longer." Old Wei said dejectedly.

Lin Dong shook his head secretly. It seemed that Old Wei had no intention of following him at the moment. This matter should not be taken too hastily. Thinking of this, Lin Dong immediately shook his head and said: "I'm afraid so."

Old Wei sighed and said: "Thanks to the general for reminding us today, otherwise I would have waited to find the main army without knowing it, and I would have starved to death on the road before I found the army."

Lin Dong waved his hand and said: "In that case, I'll take my leave first. Oh, by the way, there are ten taels of silver here. You can take it and ask a doctor to take a good look at it for your Wei Baihu household, so as not to leave the root cause of the disease."

Seeing that Lin Dong actually gave such a large ingot of silver, everyone changed their minds. In this era, ten taels of silver can buy several loads of grain. This man is really generous.

Seeing everyone's eyes shining brightly, Lin Dong was secretly happy. Now that the bait has been spread, as long as he forces these people again when the time comes, he will definitely be able to recruit these people into his army.

Thinking of this, Lin Dong did not stay any longer, turned around and left the Qianzi Camp with Shang Ba and Yang Jiu, heading towards the city.

"Boss Shang, what's the matter with the grain you're talking about?" Lin Dong asked the doubts in his heart when he saw no one was around.

Shang Ba waved his hand and said: "The government has been strict these days. It is very difficult to buy food. If the general really wants to buy a large amount of food, he might as well try Sifang Pavilion."

"Sifang Pavilion?" Lin Dong wondered, what kind of existence is this Sifang Pavilion? Do they dare to openly disobey Magistrate Yan's order and sell grain to him?

"I wonder where this Sifang Pavilion came from, that it actually sells grain?" Lin Dong asked in confusion.

"You'll know this when you get there."

Lin Dong nodded slightly and returned to the dock. At this time, Cheng San was still kneeling outside the door. Seeing Lin Dong coming back from outside, he hurriedly said: "Please general, give this villain a chance."

"You really want to follow me?"

"good."

"Seeing your sincerity, I will give you a chance. However, our Anton Army does not raise idlers. If you want to follow me, you must let me see your ability." Lin Dong said unhurriedly.

"General, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders. I will do my best, little man."

Lin Dong nodded with satisfaction and said: "I need some information about Fengyang City. Go collect it for me. I want to get the information before dawn tomorrow. Can you do it?"

"General, don't worry, I will definitely live up to my trust," Cheng San said excitedly.

"Besides, you can go to the warehouse to ask Manager Su to withdraw fifty taels of silver as expenses for the work. Go ahead..."

"Fifty taels of silver?" Cheng San was shocked. He had never seen so much silver since he was a child.

"Why, not enough?" Lin Dong frowned slightly.

"That's enough, that's enough. I will definitely complete the task on time."

"According to the rules of our Anton Army, money can be used to do things, but it cannot be used as your own. Therefore, you must use the money in a practical way. If I know that you embezzled public property, don't blame me for doing it illegally."

Cheng San shrank his neck and said, "General, don't worry, I will definitely not take it for myself."

Lin Dong waved his hand and said: "Wang Xiaoer, you go with Cheng San to help him with his work."

"Yes, General..." Wang Xiaoer agreed loudly, then pulled Cheng San, quickly got off the ship, and ran towards the shore.

The two left the ship and walked toward the downtown area, where they began to inquire about the information Lin Dong needed.

As expected, Cheng San was a newbie. He bought a few steamed buns on the street, and then went straight to a shantytown behind the street.

Wang Xiaoer frowned slightly and thought to himself: Could it be that this guy wants to abscond with the money?

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoer couldn't sit still anymore, grabbed Cheng San and said: "What are you doing there?"

"Of course I'm asking for information. Don't you know it? Although this street looks shabby, it's a mixed bag of good and bad. It's the best place to ask for information."

Wang Xiaoer saw that he didn't look like he was lying, so he nodded and walked towards the street.

Soon the two of them came to the street, and they saw Cheng San constantly greeting people on the street, and the people on the street responded one after another. It was obvious that he was very popular in this generation.

Even so, he didn't stop at all and went straight to a dilapidated house behind the street.

"Brothers, look what I brought to you!"

"What? Let's take a look!" A group of people rushed out, staring at the bundle in his hand and asking, "What is this?"

"Smell it..." Cheng San waved the baggage in front of everyone, and the aroma of the buns instantly filled the air.

"It's food..." Everyone immediately became excited. They ate twice in three days. Sometimes they couldn't find anything to eat all day long. They were so hungry that they were dizzy. Now when they saw the food, their eyes were filled with tears.
