The expression on Mr. Zhou's face became more and more disappointed, and it could be seen that his mood became very bad.
After a long while, he said: "Mr. Wang, I want to visit every place where the bandits passed. Can you arrange a guide and guards?"
"It's easy. Just wait for my arrangement." Wang Yehao saw his expression change unpredictably, from surprise to disbelief, to fear, hatred, disappointment... It seemed that Liu Zheng's words had an effect.
It turned out that these things were not fabricated out of thin air. Wang Yehao had long seen that the Hearthstone Immortal seemed cynical, ignorant of the importance of his words, and a little greedy and lustful, but in essence he was a "good person."
Just look at his attitude towards his slaves, and you will know that ordinary people, regardless of high or low, would not have such an easy time treating the wife of a bright matchmaker, let alone a slave.
In a word, Hearthstone Immortal is a soft-hearted and kind-hearted "useless good guy".
If he is asked to continue to follow him wholeheartedly and not go to his Australian accomplices, he can only stir up discord.
The bandits' burning, killing and looting outside the city of Guangzhou actually helped him invisibly.
"Kun Thief has now established himself as the Yuan Dynasty." Wang Yehao said, "This matter will be troublesome!"
Pirates and bandits are not uncommon. The imperial court can suppress or appease them, but if they are called Yuan, they have to compete with the imperial court. Even if the bandits in the northwest are powerful, they can only call themselves a certain king or a certain general, and they still use the name of Da Ming.
There is no national title either.
Mr. Zhou naturally understood this truth and immediately asked: "They founded a country? What is it called?"
"After the Kun thief claimed to be a Song Dynasty, he used the banner of the Australian Song Dynasty. However, he sometimes claimed to be the Great Song Dynasty, and called himself the Fubo Army to the outside world."
Mr. Zhou, who originally had a gloomy face, suddenly showed an expression of laughter. He seemed to find it very ridiculous.
"Where's the year number?"
"Say it's AD..."
"A.D.?!" Taoist Hearthstone shouted at the table, "Adoring foreigners and favoring foreigners!"
"What?" Several people were stunned.
The Hearthstone Immortal then explained that the so-called AD refers to the calendar used by the red-haired people, the Franji people, and is popular in Western countries.
"I see." Wang Yehao became even more confused. What does this Australian have to do with Westerners? He might have connections with foreign countries, so be careful!
"This is strange." Jin Wenchi said in a low voice: "It is common for people to start armies and separatist regimes, pretending to be the legacy of the previous dynasty, but I have never heard of anyone adding a prefix before the country's name. Doesn't this make it clear that he is not Zhengshuo? The Song Dynasty
Australia is the best - it's still a title."
"I think there must be a mystery in it." Liu Zheng's divination instinct began to show, "The country used fire to establish its virtues, and the former Song Dynasty also had fire virtues. How can it be possible to attack fire with fire? Therefore, the thief plus one'ao
'The word, I want to turn to Shui De. I heard that the Kun thief's attire is either black or blue, so I think I have this consideration."
"Yes, most of their announcements to the outside world now call themselves Fubo Army. In addition to aiding horses and aiding the old code, they probably also adopt a water virtue."
Wang Yehao did not make any judgment and asked: "What do you think Mr. Zhou?"
Mr. Zhou looked confused, and even Zhou Lezhi could tell that he knew nothing about these things. But in order not to show any cowardice, he still nodded pretendingly:
"Well, what Master Liu said makes sense. That... was the former Song Dynasty also a fire virtue? I thought it was a wood virtue."
"Sir, don't you hear the saying, 'Yan Song is prosperous, Zhou Zen is accepted'?" Liu Wei looked surprised.
Mr. Zhou really couldn't remember where it came from, but seeing everyone's expressions, he seemed to be the only one who didn't know, so he didn't have the nerve to ask, so he smiled.
"This traitor has a disobedient heart when he established his name and changed his name." Wang Yehao sighed, "It's just that Guangdong has suffered such a disaster. All lives have been devastated, and mountains and rivers have been shattered. For a while, they will no longer be able to suppress them!"
Jin Wenchi understood the master's thoughts best and said: "Now we can only hold back and wait for the Kun thief to cause chaos. It's just that we don't know much about the Kun thief's inner story..."
Liu Zhen smiled and said: "What's the difficulty? There are ready-made people here. They are originally from Lingao. They fled back from Zhentai to conquer Lingao. He knows the situation of the bandits very well."
"There is such a person?!" Wang Yehao was a little surprised, "Where is he?"
"He ran back and didn't dare to show his face. Now he is hanging around in Doukou. I sent a few people to keep an eye on him. If the master wants to ask, I can catch him at any time."
"Get him here and place him there, don't scare him." Wang Yehao ordered. What he needs most now is someone who understands his relationship.
After Gou Chengxuan escaped from Liu Zheng's clutches, she changed her mind, found a Doukou family, and worshiped Dagu, thus becoming a member of the local beggar gang.
As for the protection of the people from the Imperial Temple, his status as a fugitive was no longer an issue, and the government would not come to Luo Su. Because he was a scholar and was proficient in writing, he was left to do some clerical work by Da Gu, and he lived a good life.
It was quite comfortable. Gradually I became less alert.
Unexpectedly, when he went to the street that day, he was tied up with a sack. In the dark, he was stuffed into a sedan chair and carried for an unknown distance. He was very scared, fearing that the thieves would come to take revenge.
When I untied the sack, I came out and saw that I was already in a hall. Standing in front of me was the fortune teller!
Gou Chengxuan panicked. This Taoist had held on to her at first, and now he had tied her back... What kind of peace of mind was this?
"Don't you know your surname?"
Another man's voice came slowly. Only then did Gou Chengxuan realize that there were several people sitting in the hall.
Judging from their appearance, there are young and middle-aged people, all dressed as gentry or scholars, and it is difficult to tell the details. But the person who spoke is older, and his demeanor and behavior are different from ordinary people. He is obviously an official, and a high official at that.
of.
Gou Chengxuan's mind was spinning rapidly, and he knew that the person who came was not an ordinary robber - he had nothing now, and he was not a handsome young man. As long as he was not a thief, he could talk to anyone. He calmed down and said, "Student Gou Chengxuan. I don't know, Mr.
"
"Since you claim to be a student, you must also be a scholar. Why do you hang out with beggars?"
This question touched Gou Chengxuan's heartache, and he couldn't help but sigh: "To be honest, sir, this student was originally a student who attended the school. His family had a small income, but his family suffered a disaster, and he ended up like this."
"Oh, in that case, come and listen."
Gou Chengxuan felt more and more that the old man in front of him was unfathomable. He had already determined that the old man in front of him must be a high-ranking official, and it seemed that he was not a thief. When the thief was about to land in Lingao, Goujiazhuang was attacked, and he and his father acted together.
He escaped to Guangzhou, how he later dispersed his actions, defected to He Zhentai's command, and made plans for the conquest of the Kun bandits, and then how he was defeated in Lingao and fled back to his original position.
"...You said that the entire Goujiazhuang was massacred?" Before the old man could speak, a young man next to him who looked like an aide interjected in surprise.
Gou Chengxuan looked carefully and saw that this person was unknown to him, and he didn't know why he was so interested in Goujiazhuang.
"No one, male or female, old or young, was left alive. The uncle and several aunts of the student were either killed or committed suicide. All the old and young in the clan were slaughtered, including the maids and servants. I have pity on my Gou family, and the four to five hundred people in my village were killed.
Just clean and escape our father, son, master and servant..."
Thinking that he was originally the Gou family man who dominated men and women in Lingao County, but now he has become a beggar. During this period, he ran away, was scorned, insulted, injured...all kinds of pain came to his heart, and he couldn't help but cry loudly.
The staff member who asked the question looked pitiful and sat down in a daze.
But the old man was calm and calm, and said: "Since your father has also escaped, and there are two other servants, where are they now?"
"My father and one of his servants were originally in Danzhou, contacting the martyrs and preparing to meet the heavenly soldiers. The other one followed me to Lingao, but his whereabouts are unknown..."
The old man obviously didn't know where Danzhou was. Another middle-aged staff member beside him whispered a few words and nodded. Gou Chengxuan felt that the other party was showing appreciation, and the originally dark fire in his heart began to rekindle.
"So, you have a grudge against the Kun thief."
"We will never live together." At this moment, Gou Chengxuan was completely sure that the other party was Kun Thief's enemy, and she became more determined in her words.
"Now that the imperial court has failed in its expedition against the Kun thieves, and the Kun thieves are becoming extremely powerful, how should we deal with it?"
Gou Chengxuan was startled: There was a vague meaning in these words to inquire about government affairs. This old man is not simple! He thought for a moment and said: "Be patient and wait to wait for the civil strife among the Kun thieves!"
Wang Yehao was secretly surprised: "Be patient and wait" is not uncommon. The current situation in Guangdong means that if you don't want to be patient, you have to be patient. The so-called "standby" is just an excuse to pretend to be a grandson. But the last sentence is the real deal.
"Sir, why do you think the Kun thieves will cause civil strife?"
"I don't know something, but this bandit is different from ordinary bandits..." Gou Chengxuan immediately thought that the bandits were all elders. Although Wen and Ma were named bandit leaders, their status was just that of one of the elders. "...
Among the Kun thieves, some had long been dissatisfied with Wen and Ma for stealing power. At the beginning of the landing, the Kun thieves originally numbered a thousand people. Later, due to the unfair distribution of women, they killed each other, and only a few hundred elders were left.
"
"That's it." Wang Yehao twisted his beard and pondered. It seemed that "the civil strife among the traitors" was not an empty talk. At this moment, he paid more attention to Gou Chengxuan. After all, no one could provide such detailed and accurate information until now.
.In contrast, this Hearthstone Immortal knew nothing about this... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Mr. Zhou.
The Hearthstone Immortal looked as if he had eaten a fly at this moment. He asked slowly: "Are they really going to fight over a woman?"
Gou Chengxuan said resolutely: "Is this false? Everyone in Lingao knows it!" Although he didn't know why this staff was so concerned about this matter, when it came to the scandal of the thief, Gou Chengxuan immediately became energetic, added fuel and jealousy, and finally said: "
In order to protect themselves, Wen and Ma sent many people to search and rob women for their sexual pleasure. This time they invaded the Pearl River and robbed many women..."
