What's even more unexpected is that just when Shi Shou was confident and ready to order the shooting, things suddenly changed. The little girl with red sleeves had never seen any blood since she was a child. She was stimulated by the blood from the injured guard and actually suffered from fainting. At first, she gritted her teeth and persisted. Later, she relaxed and fainted to the ground after rescuing Sun Xiuqin.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, a guard snatched the dagger from Hongxiu's hand and held her tightly. Seeing everything that happened before her eyes, the despair in Sun Xiuqin's bones finally broke out. She glanced at her husband and daughter with nostalgia.
He turned back to stare at Shi Shouxin, his fair and beautiful face turned ferocious due to grief, anger and despair, and the coldness in his eyes actually made Shi Shouxin shudder uncontrollably. She roared loudly: "Guan Guan, if you dare to hurt my daughter, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost." After saying that, she hit her head against the tree in the courtyard...
After Zhou Jinbao introduced the situation, he continued to explain: "Brother Zhou, I really didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would have been targeted by Fatty Zhao before, otherwise he would have asked them to change places. Yesterday, I had a meeting at the city defense headquarters early in the morning. I only found out afterward. information.
When I arrived, Sister-in-law Xiuqin was already out of breath. I asked Dr. Feng to treat Mr. Zhou, who had been in a coma. At night, I led someone to quietly take Sister Xiuqin's body out of the city and bury it.
Hong Xiu was captured by Shi Shouxin because he injured several guards. I heard from Shi Shouxin's guard that he was going to take him to Anhui and sell him to vent his anger on the injured guard. He is still locked up in the firewood shed in the courtyard of Shi Shouxin's family. They plan to leave tomorrow. "
Zhou Jinbao looked at Zhou Wen and said apologetically: "I know I was careless about this and failed Brother Zhou's trust. But if you don't come, I have prepared to ask Zeng Erniu to lead people to rob the road tomorrow. Why should I do it?" Hongxiu rescued him. You can go to Erniu to verify this matter."
After saying that, he stopped explaining and just looked at Zhou Wen quietly, meaning that he had made it clear and it was up to you to figure out what to do.
After listening, everyone secretly worried about Hongxiu, felt sorry for Sun Xiuqin, and at the same time were full of hatred and anger towards Shi Shouxin. But they didn't say anything, they all looked at Zhou Wen. Now everyone in the transport team has completely trusted and obeyed Zhou Wen, and they also know Hongxiu's position in his heart, and they are just waiting for his order.
Miaohua and Gao Xiaoshan were pleased to see Zhou Wen's maturity and calmness, no longer as emotionally out of control and psychologically confused as when they heard the bad news about Wang Huzi.
Zhou Wen lowered his head and thought for a while, suppressing his worries about Hong Xiu and his grief, indignation and admiration for the tragic death of sister-in-law Xiu Qin. As for hatred, there is no need, Shi Shouxin is already a dead person in his eyes now.
He actually believed that Zhou Jinbao was not lying, and being able to do this was an explanation. You must know that Shi Shouxin has been his boss for many years, and he can have the courage to send people to rob Dao under the influence of power. Then this friend is still worth continuing to associate with.
After thinking about it, he solemnly bowed to Zhou Jinbao and said, "Brother Zhou, I believe you. You can't be blamed for what happened to the Hongxiu family. No one would have thought that Mr. Zhou would be targeted by Fatty Zhao, a thief. Let alone Shi Shouxin actually came back quietly. I would also like to thank you for taking care of Hongxiu's family over the past six months, and thank you for your timely treatment of Mr. Zhou and your help in burying Sister-in-law Xiuqin."
Zhou Jinbao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this brother is back again. Just now, he was frightened by the murderous aura faintly revealed in Zhou Wen's bones. I don’t know what this brother of mine has been through. I just feel that compared to half a year ago, this brother and his young friends have an aura of iron-blooded bravery and indifference to life and death, as if they have walked away from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The appearance of being beaten out.
He quickly took Zhou Wen's saluting hand and said, "Brother, I'm ashamed. I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Hongxiu. Now that you're back, I'll listen to you about any regulations that follow."
Zhou Wen knew that time was running out, so he stopped being polite and asked, "How many troops does Brother Zhou have under his complete control now? Do you listen to you at critical moments?"
Zhou Jinbao replied: "I have remembered what you said to me before we parted last time. I controlled all the security forces at the left behind. There were two companies. One of the company commanders was Zeng Erniu, and the other one was also my old brother. , trustworthy. The day before yesterday, Shi Shouxin asked me to have a platoon to guard the outside of his compound. Inside his compound is a reinforced security squad he brought to guard. There are fifteen people, all equipped with machine guns and shell guns. "
Zhou Jinbao thought Zhou Wen was going to attack Shi Shouxin's compound, but he didn't know that Zhou Wen had a greater ambition and wanted to attack the entire Xuchang City. Zhou Wen smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, does he know my current identity?"
Zhou Jinbao's eyes lit up, he reacted instantly, pointed to the east of the city and said, "Over there?"
Zhou Wen thought to himself that this Zhou Jinbao was indeed a smart man, and he could tell at once. He nodded and said, "Exactly. I hope Brother Zhou can come over too. Now is a good time."
Zhou Jinbao knew the current situation very clearly. He knew that several warlords were actually at odds with each other and that the chances of winning this war were slim. Just when I was worried about my future, a big pie fell from the sky. I really feel lucky that I deliberately made friends with Zhou Wen.
He didn't hesitate at the moment and nodded in agreement: "I told you to listen to me, brother. I just hope that after this, I can give you a nice word for my brother."
Zhou Wen smiled and said: "That's no problem. I have a very good relationship with several senior officials. I will definitely find a good job for Brother Zhou."
Zhou Jinbao was overjoyed, knowing that this brother was not a big talker, so he must have something to do with the upper echelons of the National Army. He was full of energy at the moment, looking at Zhou Wen eagerly and said, "Then what should I do? Brother, you just give orders, brother, I will listen to your orders."
Zhou Wen thought for a moment and then said: "Brother Zhou, go and ask for orders from the city defense headquarters now, and say that you are willing to lead your people to garrison at the east gate. There is an old acquaintance Xiong San over there at the east gate. He is also a wise man. When the time comes, we will The two brothers will sort out the pros and cons for him, so don't worry if he doesn't comply. You can set off now, I'll wait for your news here."
Zhou Jinbao said: "I can still talk to the City Defense Headquarters, so it should be no problem. Just wait for my good news." After that, he stopped talking nonsense and left directly after saying goodbye.
At this time, Miaohua came up and asked: "Junior brother, is this Zhou Jinbao reliable? He is responsible for the affairs of the Hongxiu family..."
Zhou Wen said: "Senior brother, you can't blame him entirely for what happened to Hongxiu. He was careless, but his subsequent handling can be regarded as merciful and righteous. The key is that he is a smart man and knows that he has no choice now but to follow us."
