Chang Sihao followed Qin Yi and Chen Shengyi to the sedan hall, led the horses from the people, Qin Yi said: "Our soldiers are divided into two roads, with Gulou Street as the boundary, I am responsible for contacting the brothers in the north of the city, and the two of you are responsible for the south of the city, remember to tell the brothers to slow down the horses, not to be too ostentatious in the city, and after going out of the city for three miles, they will meet in the Yulin on the side of the official road." ”

Chen Sheng nodded, and the three of them were about to set off, but they saw Qin Jue waving behind him: "Uncle, wait for me, grandpa promised me to go with you." Qin Yi said coldly: "You are deceiving people again." Qin Juexiang smiled and said: "How could I lie to you? Grandpa did agree, saying that let me go through the experience, it's past noon today, time is pressing, let's hurry up!" Qin Yi said: "Okay, let's go to your grandfather to confront you, it is indeed not too late to leave." Qin Juexiang hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, no need." Qin Yi snorted coldly: "I knew it was fake!

Qin Juexiang wanted to confess again, knowing that it was useless, and when he was annoyed, he had to nod, turned around and walked to Chang Sihao, took out something from his arms, and said whimfully: "Big brother, this is stronger than a crossbow, you can take it, maybe it will be useful to kill the enemy." ”

Chang Sihao saw that the object was a black iron cylinder, with ten small holes at the front end, and a sharp edge was hidden in the hole, and there was a small red wrench on the side, and there was a handle at the bottom to hold. Take it with a smile.

Qin Juexiang took out another bag of crossbow arrows and handed it to him, and said: "The crossbow arrows are pressed in from the front, and they are installed when they are clicked, and the bracket in front of the handle is launched, and the red wrench on the side is a single shot upwards, and ten crossbow salvos are fired downwards, don't forget." He pulled out another round iron cover. The iron lid was round on one side and cork on the other, and the cork was nailed to a metal clip, and he said, "It is too troublesome to put crossbow arrows on one by one, so you can clamp the tip of the crossbow to the clip, and then push ten crossbows into the upper load at once." As he spoke, he demonstrated it to Chang Sihao. This design is extremely simple, Chang Sihao will look at it, and think: "Jue Xiang is really smart, this gadget is extremely convenient for arrows, there is cork inside, and it can not hurt the tip of the crossbow. This is a strong repeater, with a very fast rate of fire and a strong power, which is suitable for dealing with a large number of enemies. "Buckle the iron cover on the crossbow stronger, tie it around the waist, and was about to say thanks, but saw Qin Ziyin coming and standing under the sedan hall. Said to Qin Yi: "Daddy, be careful all the way!" Qin Yi nodded, but his eyes glanced to the side. Qin Ziyin understood, astringent and looked sideways at Chang Sihao, her eyes were shy, and there was a mixture of melancholy, she didn't dare to look at it, untied the long knife on her waist, and threw it over: "You can't resist a strong enemy without a good blade, this 'chopping waves', you take it!" Chang Sihao opened his hand and took it. Qin Juexiang smiled evilly: "You are not here to send uncle, but you are here to deliver a knife." ”

Qin Ziyin's face turned red, and he reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense!" Qin Juexiang turned his head and pretended to ignore her, and said to Chang Sihao: "Big brother, I have been asking for this knife for a long time, but grandpa just didn't give it to her, but last year he gave it to her as a birthday gift, and now it's in your hands, it's considered to be its master, hahaha." ”

Chang Sihao looked at Qin Ziyin's appearance, but he was a little thoughtful, and said in his heart: "Looking at the look in her eyes, it seems to be sincere, could it be that she herself has a slight affection for me, and no longer thinks about Xiao Jinyue?" Hmph, Qin Yi is insidious, pretends to be an elder, only considers the interests of the Qin family in everything, but does not put human life first, her daughter forgets her feelings very quickly, she is definitely not a Zhen'er, nor is she a good person. She has been in love for four years, if she can forget Xiao Jinyue so quickly, how can she know that she can't forget me so quickly? The old people often say that women are watery, and it seems to be true. He is a person who will not hide his heart, so he faces him coldly.

At this time, a large hand was placed on his shoulder, and warmth came. Looking sideways, Chen Sheng's eyes were warm, which made his heart hot, and he thought that even if he was at Brother Chen, he couldn't be too rude to her. Then he held the knife and tilted towards Qin Ziyin and arched his hand: "Thank you." ”

Qin Ziyin saw his indifferent expression, thinking that it was a great enemy in his heart, and the pressure was causing him, so he didn't care.

Qin Juexiang wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and said, "Sister, do you need us to avoid it first, let you talk to the eldest brother for a few words?" Qin Ziyin blushed, snorted, turned his head and left, but he was colliding with a maid, the maid was busy making compensation, Chang Sihao looked at it, and said, "Ah Yao, what are you doing here?"

The maid's face turned red, she lowered her head and saluted everyone first, ran to Chang Sihao in broken steps, handed over something with both hands, and said: "The maid heard that Aunt Sun was going out to resist the enemy, and it was very dangerous, so she sewed a talisman bag and asked Aunt Sun to keep it." ”

Qin Ziyin was next to her, and saw that the thing in her hand was a beige brocade bag, embroidered with a white dragon, and a red rope was closed, which could be hung on the neck or waist, very delicate and beautiful, and thought: "How can this maid be so hearted?" Chang Sihao was moved in his heart and thought: "Usually she sees that I am bored, so she explains it with words, and I don't pay much attention to it, but now it seems that in the Qin Mansion, with sincerity to me, except for Brother Chen and Jue Xiang, I am afraid that it is only this maid." Stretched out his hand to take it and said, "Ah Yao, thank you." Ah Yao's head was lowered, but he lowered his head again, turned around and fled in broken steps.

Qin Ziyin looked at him from a short distance, and the tone of his voice when he spoke to a servant girl was far warmer and softer than when he was talking to himself, and his heart was sour.

Seeing that Chang Sihao was very close to that servant, Qin Juexiang smiled evilly and said in a low voice: "Big brother, have you used this servant?" Chang Sihao was cheeky: "No." Don't talk nonsense. Qin Yi snorted on his side and led the team out. Qin Ziyin turned his head and left.

Chang Sihao saw her posture, and his heart moved: "Don't misunderstand me, she can't misunderstand me." When he wanted to stop him, he thought: "Chang Sihao, you are really obsessed, you are cheap and greedy for her beauty and disgust, and your husband has not done anything ashamed in his heart, why should he be afraid of misunderstanding, why do you need to explain in a low voice?" People who have never been misunderstood, it is difficult to understand this profoundly, could it be that Liao Gushi's murder of his mother is also difficult to explain and disdainful to explain the reason, let the world think at will? That day, my attitude towards him was too reckless. A thought flashed, and I sighed in my heart, and I didn't have time to think about it. Seeing Chen Shengyi looking towards the mansion along the inner gate, there was a slight regret in his eyes, but he was not looking at Qin Ziyin's back, and felt a little strange: "What is Brother Chen looking at?" and suddenly understood: "Ah, he is looking at Qin Menghuan." This time to go to Huocheng, the enemy is outnumbered, and there are many auspicious and less, she knows very well in her heart, even if she has no intention of Brother Chen, she should come to see her off, even if she stands there far away, let Brother Chen take a look, it is good. What can we say about a woman's desperation?"

The two of them resigned from Qin Juexiang, led the escort of eight people, and came out of the mansion, led by Chen Shengyi, to the south of Taiyuan City to preach the message, at this time it was past noon, and they ate in the restaurant.

There are brothers of the Qin family everywhere in the city, such as restaurants, tea shops, pawnshops, silver horns, silk shops, antique shops, and even brothels in Qinglou, etc., these people usually take care of the business for the Qin family, firstly, so as not to be too conspicuous and make it difficult for the official family to speak, and secondly, such a huge organization, the cost of running is also very huge, if there is no strong economic support, it will definitely not work.

The Qin family is tightly organized, the network is vertical and horizontal, it is spread in one place, one is ten, ten is hundred, less than half an hour, people and horses go out of the city in batches, except for a few big shops in the Taiyuan commercial block are open as usual, and the rest of the shops are only one or two people, and even close the door temporarily, and it seems to be a lot deserted for a while.

Chang Sihao crossed the street, seeing this scene, the Qin family almost monopolized all the commercial lifelines in Taiyuan, all industries were involved, and the wide coverage and mixed distribution of forces were amazing. I secretly wrote down in my heart: "People die for money, birds die for food, and if you want to organize gangs to become bigger and stronger, the economy is fundamental." With the support of such abundant financial resources, there will be dead soldiers to serve their lives, human and financial resources, and without one of the two, it will be difficult to achieve the great cause!"

Chen Shengyi walked with him, and asked with a smile: "Brother, what are you thinking?" Chang Sihao said: "Little brother has something unknown, places like restaurants, pawnshops, and silver horns are extremely profitable, but a business like a tea shop has a meager income, how can the Qin family have to run it?"

Chen Sheng said with a smile: "Brother is not in the rivers and lakes, he doesn't know the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the tea shop and the teahouse are the places where the people from all over the world, the merchants come and go, and the people from the rivers and lakes rest and gather. The old lady has always considered things thoroughly, and he attaches the most importance to this aspect of news, so the Qin family's teahouses have operated a lot, and even the inconspicuous small tea stalls have been distributed with more than 100 of them. ”

Chang Sihao nodded, and suddenly the question that he had been pondering in his heart became clear: "At that time in the hall, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be very annoyed, thinking of Gu Weixin's concealment of himself in the matter of Dongchang, Qin Yi's selfishness of valuing profit over human life, and feeling more and more that Qin Langchuan was also very suspicious, and suddenly thought that Qin Ziyin suddenly became enthusiastic about himself, could it be that he also had other feelings? Yes, his Qin family was short of manpower when it was in trouble, maybe Qin Langchuan sent her to gather his heart, so that he could teach my surname Chang to work for them!

Seeing Chen Shengyi smiling and waving in front of him, his heart was hot again, and he said: "How can others be suspicious and coaxed, but they don't have to take it to heart, Brother Chen can sacrifice his life to save him in danger, it is true to me, no matter what, this big killing, I will sacrifice my life to accompany him!" Thinking of the horse's head here, I speed up to catch up.

The two of them took eight warriors and slowly came out of the city, at this time the red sun was in the west, the green willows were in the wind, Chang Sihao crossed the black-maned horse, held the wave knife, and was full of spirit and pride. He glanced at Chen Sheng, remembered the horse racing on the official road when he ran to Taiyuan that day, smiled and knew his heart, pulled the reins and led the horse's head, and kowtowed his knee to clip the flying tiger.
