Although Guizhou is not the south of the Yangtze River, it is almost no different from the south of the Yangtze River in terms of climate, and it is drizzling like the south of the Yangtze River in the rainy season. A boat slowly approached the Da Nanqiao wharf, the old man with white hair held an umbrella in one hand and brushed his beard in the other, standing in front of this wharf, remembering the fierce battle here back then, he couldn't help but feel agitated: "Boy, that old man is here, and he was almost shot by the crossbowmen of the Miao people." ”

"The Miao people's crossbow arrows are indeed powerful, but unfortunately now it is the world of machine guns and cannons, whether it is a fierce general or a divine shooter, it has been useless since then." Tang Cheng walked out of the cabin slowly, looked at the old man and said with a smile: "It's also You Weng's skill, if it weren't for that, where would he be able to escape from the Miao people's crossbow." ”

"General, average." Old man You was a person who couldn't stand praise, and he kept waving his hand and said, "We can fight like you are now, although we also have guns in our hands, but there are very few bullets. Besides, Guizhou has been a poor and remote country since ancient times, and there is no place to replenish it when the ammunition is exhausted, so many times, we can only rely on broadswords and crossbow arrows to fight, but we also have artillery. ”

Although Old Man You and Tang Cheng had only known each other for two days, the two of them had a very happy relationship like old friends, and they had nothing to say between them, and the juniors of the You family couldn't help but secretly marvel at themselves. As soon as the boat docked, the two of them hadn't gotten off the boat, and Old Man You suddenly sighed twice: "It's a pity that Mr. Mu went to Xiguan to see people, if he is still here today, I will have a ...... to chat."

"Old man, what you said is a little bad, let's go all the way, I haven't talked to you less, and I have been talking to you for a long time, and you have always used me as air." Tang Cheng saw this and said angrily, this old man is very good, he was righteous and brave when he was young, although he is now nearly seventy years old, he is also old and strong, although he has a little bit of his own little calculations, but he still does not lose his pride.

"Yo, boy, you're so annoyed." Of course, Old Man You knew that Tang Cheng was not really angry, and immediately laughed and said, "Old Man knows, your kid is a capable person, and it is actually not interesting to accompany me, a clumsy old man." That is, the Mr. Mu next to you, who only has something to say when he talks to the old man. "The old man is really straightforward, if he changes someone else, even if he has such a thought, he will not say it directly.

"Yes, yes, you have to rest, I know what your idea is, you just ask the kid if he wants a gun or a bullet, and I can give you some of it, but this Mr. Mu can't." Tang Cheng raised his hands at Old Man You, "Mr. Mu is the only one around us who understands medicine, and our one hundred and ten people are all injured, if it weren't for Mr. Mu taking care of him all the way, I'm afraid that at least more than half of them would have died." Since they were able to withdraw from the battlefield alive and I promised their commander that they would take them back to their hometowns, then they must be brought back alive, and Mr. Mu was the key to ensuring their continued survival. ”

Seeing that Tang Cheng had already guessed his thoughts, and said it so clearly and clearly, Old Man You had no choice but to laugh and scold Tang Cheng for being a little slippery, so he no longer mentioned the matter of wanting to keep Mu Lianshan. The two of them had just gotten to the dock from the boat, when they suddenly heard the sound of shouting not far ahead, and when they listened carefully, it seemed that there were many people arguing about something. The group then quickened their pace and walked towards the place where the noise had come from, and when they got closer, they realized that it was the locals working on the dock who had caught two rout soldiers who had come to steal things.

Old man You turned his head to look at Tang Cheng who was following beside him, and the latter slowly shook his head, indicating that these two people were not the soldiers of the Dian Army under him. Tang Cheng was wearing civilian clothes at this time, and seeing that the locals gathered here did not make any radical moves, he did not reveal his identity, but just stood beside Old Man You and watched quietly. "Tell me about you, why do you always come to us to steal things when you don't fight well? I shouldn't have let you go last time, I think I'd better send it to the town office. ”

There were always one or two people who could take charge of the dozens of locals gathered around, and it was immediately said that the two soldiers who had stolen the goods would be tied up and sent to the town office. Tang Cheng looked through the crowd at the two routs who had been pressed to the ground, and saw the situation inside clearly, and his brows, which had been furrowed together, couldn't help but wrinkle even tighter. The two routs in the crowd can't even be called routs, judging by their age, they may not be as old as Liu Shishi, and wearing a tattered military uniform on them is more like wearing a singing robe.

"Wait, I have something to ask them." Seeing that someone had already brought the rope, Tang Cheng gestured slightly, and Wu Laosan, who came with him, squeezed away the crowd with a wave of his hand. The locals who were squeezed away by Wu Laosan were about to scold, but suddenly saw Old Man You standing beside Tang Cheng, so he had to dodge and get out of the way, letting Tang Cheng, who was walking behind Wu Laosan, squeeze into the center of the crowd. The two creeps were let go, but they didn't dare to get up and stand up in confidence, just lying on their sides on the ground, looking at the bruises on their faces, they knew that they had been beaten before.

"Stand up and talk back." Although Tang Cheng's injuries were good, it was still a little troublesome to squat briskly, so Tang Cheng just stood like that, letting Wu Laosan reach out and pull up the two little soldiers who were lying down. Tang Cheng was wearing civilian clothes, but Wu Laosan was wearing a military uniform and had a short gun pinned to his waist, and the two soldiers could only stand up tremblingly, lowering their heads and not daring to look at Tang Cheng. "Seeing that you are wearing military uniforms, you should be in the army, then you should tell me your troop number now, otherwise I won't be able to help you."

"Old man, I'm going to take the two of them to my camp, can you always do it?" Tang Cheng asked several times in succession, but the two soldiers who had kept their heads down refused to say a word, and Tang Cheng had no choice but to prepare to take them back to his camp. Tang Cheng had already said so, how could Old Man You say no, saying that he also wanted to know the origin of these two little soldiers. Old man You asked his housekeeper to whisper a few words to the locals working on these docks, and the crowd gathered around gradually dispersed, except that there were still people peeking at Tang Cheng and the two thieves.

The new camp in Tangcheng is in a forest outside Old Man You's house, and the big car ride around the pier is only 2 miles away, and you can see the curling smoke in the camp from a distance. The two small soldiers who were put into the cart by Wu Laosan obviously did not expect that there would be a camp here, and there were many people in military uniforms in the camp, but their attention was not on those Dian troops, and the meat pot on the fire had already attracted all their attention.

The expressions of the two little soldiers had already been seen by Tang Cheng, but he didn't expose it, but turned his head to look at the old man You who also jumped out of the cart, "Old man, there is just a chance, boy, please taste the food in our army, how" Ignoring the two little soldiers, Tang Cheng took a sip of the broth handed by the fat man, and it was a great help to drink this hot broth on a rainy day, which is of great help to relieve fatigue.

"Give these two boys a bowl too." Seeing the two little soldiers who couldn't stop stirring and drooling on the side, Tang Cheng smiled. After the two little soldiers took the bowl, they swallowed it as if they were hungry, and there was still some meat foam in the broth, which made them seem to have a hand in their stomachs, and they couldn't wait to grab the soup in the bowl. In just two blinks of an eye, a bowl of broth is completely gone. Tang Cheng smiled and looked at Wu Laosan beside him, "San, these two boys are good, they have a bit of your style." ”

Wu Laosan just smiled but didn't speak, Ma Fatzi can't fight, but the broth he cooks is a must. When Wu Laosan drank soup that day, he also poured a bowl of broth in one go. "Give these two boys another bowl of soup!" It took the two creeps only two blinks to swallow a bowl of broth, but when the third bowl was served, they didn't gobble it anymore.

"You've all eaten my broth, now tell me what's your name?" Tang Cheng put down the bowl and asked. I heard that Tang Cheng picked up two little soldiers, and Liu Shishi, who was forced to train, had already surrounded them, and the two little soldiers holding bowls were surrounded in the middle, which was quite a bit of a sheep into the tiger herd. "We are the returning Yunnan army, if you tell me my name and the number of the troops, you will have such broth to drink every day, otherwise, you will only be tied up and sent to the town office."

The two soldiers timidly looked at Liu Shishi and the others beside them, then glanced at each other, and then opened their mouths to answer Tang Cheng's inquiry. "Old man, I originally wanted to stay with you for a few more days, but now it seems that it may not work. The foot of the valley is not very far from here, so we will pull it out now, and we may be able to get there before dark. Seeing that the rain had subsided, Tang Cheng immediately decided to set off for Gujiao Town, according to the two soldiers, there was a gathering point outside Gujiao Town, and there were dozens of wounded soldiers who were left uncared for.

Old Man You didn't want Tang Cheng and the others to leave, but he had also heard Tang Cheng and the two little soldiers talking just now, and he knew that he couldn't stop Tang Cheng, so he had to nod and agree. Tang Cheng sent people to ride horses to Xiguan to pick up Mulian Mountain, and on the other hand, he discussed with Old Man You to buy a few carts of grain in Longli, and everything was ready, Tang Cheng and his party said goodbye to Old Man You and hurried to Gujiao Town.

On the way from the Dragon Emperor to Gujiao Town, Tang Cheng finally understood the origin of those defeated soldiers from the mouths of the two small soldiers, strictly speaking, those soldiers gathered in Gujiao Town were not defeated soldiers at all, they should be called deserters. Most of those defeated troops were the Dian army that had been scattered in the Battle of Wuhan, and these people did not join the original troops, but chose to return to their hometowns without permission.
