Pudong Military Camp. Qinbei Pavilion
"Brother Guan, are you going out?"
Hao Siwen asked quickly when he saw that Guan Sheng was fully clothed, wearing a Fan Yang Li and a cloak, riding a horse and holding a big sword and was about to lead people out of the camp.
"I'm going to take people on a patrol. Bandits have been rampant recently. With this heavy snowfall, those people who lack food and clothing must be dishonest."
Guan Sheng looked at Hao Siwen and said, he is patrolling Pudong and needs to be responsible for the security of Pudong and nearby areas and to catch bandits. It is freezing and the thieves will definitely come out to do evil if they have no food and clothing.
"I will also go with Brother Guan."
After hearing this, Hao Siwen also put on his horse and prepared to ride with him. Guan Sheng nodded.
The two of them left the Pudong military camp with twenty cavalry.
"Brother, I know you are feeling depressed. Now the war in the north has stopped again. If you wait a few years, there will definitely be a war in the north. Your martial arts and strategy will be put to good use by the imperial court."
Guan Sheng stood up and walked away and said to Hao Siwen, Hao Siwen has been working hard in the army these years, but he has never been promoted. Until now, he is still an ordinary officer in Pudong.
"Brother Guan, Hao Siwen is incompetent, and that will be the case for the rest of his life."
Hao Siwen laughed at himself.
"Brother, why are you so frustrated? You and I both know that the war in the north will eventually start, and when the time comes, the imperial court will definitely use us."
Guan Sheng comforted Hao Siwen. Hao Siwen's words were so depressing. If word spread, Shangguan would definitely not be happy and his future would be ruined.
"Brother Guan, what chance do I, an ordinary officer, have? Even if a war breaks out in the north and there is no way, who will use me? I really want to be like Brother Tang Bin."
Hao Siwen shook his head and said, it doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to please the superior, otherwise he wouldn't have been an ordinary officer for so many years.
Speaking of Tang Bin, the two were silent for a while. The three of them had become sworn friends at the beginning and often drank and talked about the future. How high-spirited were they? It's a pity that Shangguan is a treacherous person and only likes those villains who are careless and flattering. The three of them have always been disliked.
Later, Tang Bin couldn't bear the oppression and frame-up by the local powerful, and reported it to the army, but he didn't get a fair verdict. In a rage, he killed people and fled, leaving only the two brothers in Pudong.
"Brother, you have great ambitions. You must not act on impulse like Tang Bin. If you get into a lawsuit, your future will be ruined."
Guan Sheng looked at Hao Siwen and said, Hao Siwen has great ambitions, but he has never been appreciated by the court, so he has been depressed all day long, but there will be opportunities, the court will always need talents, and they are just waiting for that day to come. If you kill someone impulsively like Tang Bin, your future will be even more hopeless.
"Why!"
Hao Siwen sighed. He was already in his thirties, but he was still just a low-level officer with an unknown local military status. What kind of future could he have in this life?
The two men rode horses and led people along the road in the heavy snow to patrol the jurisdiction. The snow was falling and the thieves were nowhere to be seen. In fact, it's not only Hao Si who is depressed in her bra, but Guan Sheng too? He is the direct descendant of Guan Yu, the righteous and brave King of Wu'an. With such a big name, he only serves as a small patrol in Pudong. How can he not be depressed?
"Well, isn't this the ancestral home of brother Tang Bin? Why are there lights flashing? And smoke is rising? Is he back?"
Hao Siwen pointed to the house with flickering lights and smoke and birds in the distance and said, that is Tang Bin's ancestral house. It is now vacant. They will send people to clean it every month.
"Did someone occupy it?"
Guan Sheng frowned and looked at the house full of fireworks. Tang Bin was still wanted and he probably wouldn't come back. Even if he came back, he shouldn't make such a big fuss.
"Let's go and have a look!"
Guan Sheng waved his hand and led the people towards the house. If a thief dared to occupy his brother's house, he would not be lenient.
"Brother, there are more than twenty people riding over!"
Gongsun Sheng, who was admiring the snow scene, suddenly spoke.
Everyone picked up their weapons as soon as they heard the warning. The more than twenty cavalry could only be officers and soldiers, and there must be a reason for the officers and soldiers to go out in this weather. It was probably to hunt them down.
"Don't be nervous. We have identities. There was no movement along the way. Maybe they were just passing by."
Sun Lei walked to the window and looked at the cavalry approaching in the heavy snow. He said, these people are not riding fast and they don't look like they are chasing people. Moreover, they did not show any flaws in their actions this time. Gao Qiu didn't even know that they had appeared in Tokyo. Pudong is hundreds of miles away from Tokyo, so they met by chance?
"Brother, we have to guard against it!"
Xiao Jiasui said that although they had false identities as cover, they could not guarantee that they would be foolproof. To be on the safe side, it was better not to have too much contact with the officers and soldiers.
"Tang Bin, if you haven't hid, your captors are here. You will be arrested as soon as you return home. You are really a bastard."
Li Kui looked at Tang Bin with a wooden ax and said.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you tough guy? Who is here to catch me?"
Tang Bin glanced at Li Kui angrily.
"This is not easy. We are all outsiders, and no one knows us here. It's okay if we meet you. You killed someone and ran away, and now you are back in the local area, and they haven't locked you up yet!"
Li Kui said, he killed someone in Yishui and then ran away, and he still doesn't dare to go back to Yishui.
"this……"
Only then did Tang Bin realize that everyone had false identities to cover up, but he couldn't. He used to be an officer in Pudong, and everyone in the Pudong army knew him. This false identity would bring disaster.
"Tieniu is smarter this time."
Lu Zhishen looked at Li Kui and said, Li Kui rarely comes up with good ideas.
"Brother, if we fight with them, we'll just ride twenty or so, let's go together!"
Tang Long was already holding the hammer and was ready to fight. Tokyo City came out. This small place in Pudong was at ease. The twenty-odd riders were no match for them.
"Don't be impulsive. This cavalry looks well-trained."
Xu Ning looked at the cavalry coming slowly, and he could see at a glance that these cavalry were marching in a very orderly manner, and even maintained a formation while marching. This was no ordinary local army.
"Tang Bin, please stay away for a while, and we'll just deal with it and leave."
Sun Lei looked at Tang Bin and said.
"Brother, I'm fine. The worst I can do is kill them!"
Tang Bin said directly. After being around for a while, he was no stranger to killing people. If these people come with bad intentions, then there is no need to be polite.
"It's not necessary. We are just passing by and we are not looking for trouble. Aren't you going to visit your brother tomorrow? Why don't you have to rush now? This weather is not good for traveling."
Sun Lei shook his head and pointed at the heavy snow outside the window. This kind of weather was not suitable for traveling. If the matter failed, he would be chased by the army.
After hearing this, Tang Bin had no choice but to retreat behind the screen with his mountain ax.
"You also put away your weapons. We are here to do business in Hebei. We should not use our weapons when we see the officers and soldiers."
Sun Lei waved to everyone again, wondering what the big men in this room looked like holding weapons.
Everyone put away their weapons and placed them within reach, still on alert at all times.
Sun Lei opened the door with a smile, and a gust of cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew into the room, causing Mrs. Xu, Master Li and the two-year maid to quickly retreat to the brazier.
