When he saw the money, the old man's eyes lit up and he looked up at Wang Xiaolie and Cui Qing again.
At this time, Zhang Jun and his men came over and said to Wang Xiaolie: "Xuan Fu walked so fast! I led my men to chase after him all the way, and only now did he catch up. Shizhou City is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and it's very confusing to talk about. Yes, Xuanfu should not wander around."
Wang Xiaolie nodded. He looked back at the old man and the woman, and said to Zhang Jun: "Let's go back!"
After finishing speaking, we should go to the state government office first.
Looking at Wang Xiaolie's back, the old man came to the woman's side and whispered: "Let's go back to the inn. Today's guest is not an ordinary guest. He rewarded us with money! And looking at Zhang Qianxia's appearance, it could be Xuan Fu Arrived in Shizhou?"
The woman glanced at the backs of Wang Xiaolie and his party strangely, and nodded to the old man.
When they arrived at the government office, Wang Xiaolie said to Zhang Jun, "Call Jiang Min and Wei Ren. I have something to ask you."
Zhang Jun nodded in agreement and went to call for someone.
The most important people in the headquarters are Du Tong, Qian Ji, and the Chief of Staff. The other three are responsible for contacting the subordinate units, and the Secretary-General handles the chores of the headquarters. If you want to understand the affairs of our division, it is enough to have these three people participate.
After a while, Zhang Jun brought Jiang Min and Wei Ren to Wang Xiaolie's residence and saluted each other.
Wang Xiaolie pointed to the stool and said, "Sit down. Let's sit down and talk."
After saying that, he asked Cui Qing to serve tea and pour it for the three of them.
After taking a sip of tea, Wang Xiaolie said: "When I went out just now, I really opened my eyes. I didn't expect that there are such strange people in the world! A woman and an old man were performing there. The woman first performed a golden gun lock He stabbed her throat with a flower gun. The person was fine, but he broke the head of the gun. He also performed a hammer-breaking boulder, where the woman lay on the steel knife with a big boulder on her back, and the old man hit it with a hammer. open."
Jiang Min heard this and said: "This is a real skill! Not many people in the military can achieve this level of skill."
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Originally, I thought they might have used some trick to make it so easy. So I asked Cui Qing to go up and check the flowers. Unexpectedly, it was actually a steel gun! The old man also asked Cui Qing to come with him, Help carry the slate.—Of course, it’s also a real slate.”
Having said this, Wang Xiaolie took a sip of tea and thought for a while. Cai Dao said: "Actually, the hammer hitting the stone slab in the back just looks scary, not very powerful. Although the person is lying on the steel knife, all the power of the hammer is used when hitting the stone slab, and the person does not bear much force. The golden gun choke in front is really pushing the steel gun with the throat. That is real Kung Fu. Without long-term hard practice, it is impossible to succeed. People like this cannot be unknown people. How many of you come to Shizhou It’s been over a month, so you should have heard about it.”
The three of them listened and lowered their heads in thought.
After a while, Wei Ren suddenly raised his head: "Is it her?"
"Who is it?" Everyone looked at Wei Ren.
Wei Ren calmed down his thoughts and said: "There is a village called Loubanzhai in the southwest of Nao County in Daizhou. It was occupied by a group of strongmen who rebelled against the Jin Dynasty. Their leader was a woman, known as Mrs. Zhou with a bronze head and an iron arm. . After hearing that he is very good at kung fu, he has a bronze head and an iron bone, and is invulnerable to weapons and bullets."
Aunt Zhou refers to the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, not to future generations. For example, the sword-wielding lady Gongsun mentioned in Du Fu's poem was not an old woman.
Wang Xiaolie didn't believe in such a thing. But this also shows that this woman is not simple.
Zhang Jun said: "Maybe it's her. Xuanfu came to Shizhou these days, and the news spread. Heroes from all walks of life came to Shizhou, hoping to meet. These days, Shizhou is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, and everything is going on."
Wang Xiaolie said: "What's the use of them coming to see me?"
Jiang Min said: "Xuanfu is the highest officer in the west of Beijing and Hedong Road. He has hundreds of lives and deaths in his hands, so meeting him is of course useful. Luan Qingshan of Tuhe Village heard that he met Xuanfu in his early years, and he is now able to prosper. How could these people not be moved after hearing this!"
Wang Xiaolie only occasionally heard Wang Ruohai talk about Luan Qingshan's affairs. He heard that he was doing well now, but he didn't know the specific situation. Seeing Jiang Min talk about it, he asked: "How is Luan Qingshan now? He was asked to go behind the Jin people at that time. As long as the gold is not dropped, he will not be treated badly in the future."
Jiang Min said: "Now in the places occupied by the Jin people, if the people do not gather in the villages to protect themselves, they can only take shelter under the big families. Ordinary small farmers can hardly survive. Therefore, in the plain areas, they all take refuge with the Jin people. Wealthy families have great surnames, and in mountainous areas, they form strongholds to protect themselves. Xuanfu gathered his army in Jinzhou, and anyone with eyes knew that he was going to expedition to the north. Naturally, those strongholds had to find a way out."

Zhang Jun said: "We have tens of thousands of troops stationed in Shizhou, which is a mountainous area, so we have come here one after another."
Wang Xiaolie nodded and asked: "So, the surrounding mountain villages will send people to Shizhou? Then, will the nearby Fuzhou send people?"
Jiang Min said: "They must have sent someone here. It's just that they are very careful. We can't hold the evidence and don't dare to talk nonsense."
Wang Xiaolie said: "I understand. But I didn't expect that my visit to Shizhou this time would actually stir up a storm."
After letting the three of them go back, Wang Xiaolie sat in the room and thought for a while. Then he unfolded the map and got close to the charcoal fire to carefully study the surrounding situation.
Fuzhou is ruled by tribesmen, and the people are the most united. It can be said that needles cannot penetrate and water cannot penetrate. But as soon as you leave the surrounding areas of Fuzhou, such as Kelan Army, Ninghua Army, Xianzhou and Lanzhou, there are many forts. The so-called rule of the Jin army means that there is a small garrison in the state city, and all other places are entrusted to the local tyrants.
There is a mountainous area between Fuzhou and Taiyuan Prefecture, Lingzhou, and Daizhou. It can be said that all the heroes have risen together. Now is the time when the leaders are leaderless. Wang Xiaolie sent Jiang Min to Shizhou. In the eyes of others, they thought he was planning to plot these places.
Putting down the map, Wang Xiaolie stood up, walked to the window and looked out.
The weather has been cold and gloomy after the snowfall, and the snow has not melted in the dark areas for several days. A large locust tree with all its leaves fallen off was leaning against the wall. There was still snow on some branches, which looked a bit sad. A few arborvitae trees in the sunny area next to it reveal a hint of gloomy green.
If you want to do something in this area, Fuzhou Zhejia cannot go around it. Even if they go from Lanzhou and fight to the north, they still have to worry about Fuzhou cutting off their retreat. Fuzhou must be solved before we can let go of our hands and feet, and then Shizhou's army can be useful.
Fuzhou, what do Zhe Keqiu think now?
Since it was ruled by the family, including all the shopkeepers, Wang Xiaolie had no influence there. Not to mention asking for information about the Zhe family, that is simply wishful thinking. At this time, Wang Xiaolie didn't feel confident.
So this time when he came to Shizhou, Wang Xiao hunted and conquered Zhe Yanzhi. I just don’t know how much influence this abandoned son of the Zhe family still has in Fuzhou.
