The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

A few people still escaped, but there was nothing we could do about it.

In addition, Zhao Chuanxin pointed to a horse on the edge of the forest in the distance and said to Lao Laihong: "Look, I promised you to let go of one of your horses before, and this is that one. I have fulfilled my promise."

Lao Laihong gritted his teeth.

In fact, it was close to the woods, and Zhao Chuanxin was afraid that he would be shot in the cold again when he went to lead the horse. It's just a horse, so don't worry.

So, they drove the group back.

Chengming camped where he was, lighting a fire and cooking pots.

After eating, the officers and soldiers cleared an open space to rest.

Less than two hours later, the sound of horses neighing was heard in the distance.

Chengming sat up suddenly from the ground and looked over with a telescope.

More than ten riders are driving more than ten people, heading this way.

Chengming shouted: "Everyone get up, they have brought the people back."

He brought people forward to greet him.

When he got closer, he shouted: "Why are there less than twenty people? Where are the remaining bandits?"

Zhao Chuanxin breathed a sigh of relief in the palm of his hand and said: "Three or five escaped, and the rest were beaten to death. You can find the corpses by following the traces. Go quickly before they are eaten by wolves."

The second fat man said, "Didn't you say there are several thousand yuan? We found more than five hundred yuan in total."

Chengming smiled sheepishly: "Maybe I was wrong!"

Er Fatty: "How could this make sense? How could you miscalculate such a big thing? It's a loss of more than five hundred, otherwise I won't be done with you today!"

The officers and soldiers listened: "..."

Compared to life and death, is this a big deal?

I also saw that there were quite a few of them. Although there were some who were lucky, their lives were not in danger. I couldn't help but be curious, what on earth do these people do?

A dozen or so of them easily chased down forty or fifty people, and their combat effectiveness was not only stronger than that of Tiaozi, but certainly superior to them.

Maybe even the Russian cavalry in Harbin are not as brave as them!

Chengming didn't care about him at all.

We just need to send people to collect the bodies, and at least the heads must be brought back for inspection.

And Lao Laihong and others finally understood. It turned out that the Hunyuan Thunderbolt was chasing them not because of any grudges, nor from the government, but just because they had money?

For a moment, I felt like the world was spinning. Where could I go to explain this?

When the co-leader Chang Hai saw that Zhao Chuanxin and the others had driven more than 20 horses, he immediately became cautious and deliberately loudly said to Chengming: "Commander, these horses..."

The meaning is self-explanatory, can they just let them take away this horse?

Er Fatty spat: "This horse has nothing to do with you!"

"you……"

Changhai was furious.

Shuangxi lifted his hat and said with steam rising from his head: "What are you doing? How about I give these guys a few guns, and then you fight them again to see if you can get the horse back?"

When Lao Laihong heard it, he thought it was a good feeling.

However, Chengming turned around and scolded: "Okay, take these pieces and go back to deliver, are you afraid that you won't get any rewards?"

Isn’t it nice to solve the problem without any bloodshed?

Zhao Chuanxin is also planning to spend the night here.

The sun is setting in the west, and we must finish the meal before it gets dark.

What’s good to eat to keep out the cold in the wild?

It has to be hot pot!

Zhao Chuanxin took out the iron stove from his pocket technology and took out the large mandarin duck pot.

The butter is boiling in the bottom of the pan, with spicy soup on one side and clear soup on the other.

By this time, chili peppers had been introduced to the Northeast, and although they were rare, they could be purchased.

There are no vegetables, only Chinese cabbage. But Zhao Chuanxin led people to fish after the river froze and made a lot of fish balls with river carp.

There are everything from cabbage, fish balls, pork rolls, beef rolls, and lamb rolls.

Each person has a bowl, add chive flower sauce, sesame sauce, peanut butter and fermented bean curd, pour some hot pot soup and mix well.

After the aroma filled the air, the officers and soldiers had already finished their meal, but they immediately became hungry again.

Changhai said to Chengming, "I haven't seen them bring these pots and pans. Where did they come from?"

Cheng Ming said nothing.

He didn't know either, but he had heard rumors that Zhao Chuanxin knew some magic before.

People in this era have no doubts about the things that the gods and gods talk about, even if they are constantly making elixirs in the palace compound to play the game of immortality.

Shuangxi said: "This is the salted fish I brought myself. No one can snatch it from me when I put it in the pot."

Zhao Chuanxin stopped him quickly with quick eyes and hands: "Fuck, you put the salted fish into the pot, we don't want to eat it yet. You put it in your own bowl and let it soak for a while."

Isn't this noisy? This is the first time I heard of salted fish in hot pot. The key is, are you still having sex?

Looking back at Cheng Ming, Zhao Chuanxin waved to him: "Come, let's have something together."

Chengming looked at a group of jealous subordinates and shook his head to refuse.

Zhao Chuanxin doesn't know how to be humble at all. If you don't come, I won't care about you.

He would never do anything like eating, sleeping, advancing and retreating with soldiers.

"Don't grab it, don't grab it, this is my mutton!"

"Gaoli, you've already got a piece of beef, why are you still fishing it out? It's shameless, isn't it?"

"Go away, what I just fished was pork."

When Zhao Chuanxin turned around and said a word to Chengming, when he turned around again, most of the meat was gone.

Hurry up and join the battle group and rob them.

It's impossible not to rob them. These big-bellied men can eat up all the meat.

Chengming looked at it from a distance, with a smile on his face.

…

The next day, everyone went to Jilin together.

Arriving at the Niu family mansion, Zhao Chuanxin dismounted and knocked on the door.

The concierge opened the grand door with red paint and copper nails a crack, and he was startled when he looked out and saw a group of heavily armed men standing outside.

"What do you do?"

Zhao Chuanxin took off his hat and huffed, "I asked Boss Niu, who is a good friend of his aunt's cousin's, his eldest brother's uncle's silly son's friend, to come to him to ask him to return the favor. "

Chengming beside him looked at the confused concierge and laughed.

This person is really as narrow-minded as ever!

So, he took a step forward and cupped his hands and said: "I am Chengming, the commander of Lalin Xieling Yamen. I am an old friend of Boss Niu. Please let me know."

The concierge seemed to recognize Cheng Ming and said politely: "Please wait a moment, I will report it right away."

Zhao Chuanxin glared at Chengming with dissatisfaction: "Why are you so polite? They say that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door is not a good person. I just want to see if this guy is a dog and looks down on others. You'd better mess up my plans. ”

Chengming also glared at him: "Aren't you making trouble out of nothing?"

Not long after, Niu Zihou, wearing a hat and shiny forehead, came to greet him in person.

"Commander Chengming, are you okay?"

Chengming also clasped his fists: "Boss Niu is still radiant!"

Niu Zihou heard a bearded man next to Chengming say, "Old Niu, why did you come out to greet me? Come in quickly, it's very cold outside."

Niu Zihou opened his mouth and looked at Chengming.

The meaning is obvious: Who the hell is this?

What kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be here?

Moreover, isn’t this dark, thick beard a symbol of maturity?

Why did you open your mouth in such a disobedient way? It’s so disrespectful the moment you open your mouth!

Chengming hurriedly introduced him: "Boss Niu, do you still remember the insurance team that captured Yang Yushu alive? This is Captain Zhao, Zhao Chuanxin!"

How could Niu Zihou not remember it?

He held his breath at first, but as a result, the officers and soldiers had a bad start. In the end, he had to ask for help from the insurance team and captured Yang Yushu.

At that time, Jilin Changshun accepted Yang Yushu's benefits and ordered Chengming to retreat, but Chengming insisted on his own opinion and captured Yang Yushu alive. For this reason, Niu Zihou still owes Chengming a favor.

When he suddenly heard that the person in front of him was Captain Zhao, the famous captain Zhao, Niu Zihou's face became a little warm: "It turns out to be Captain Zhao. It's better to meet him than to be famous."

Zhao Chuanxin said with a smile: "Yes, I am often troubled. Having too much fame may not be a good thing. But I am a pretty good person, and I will never disappoint you too much."

Niu Zihou couldn't laugh or cry.

He invited the two of them into the courtyard.

The Niu family is very big. It is no longer just a three-way courtyard, but three inside and three outside.

Except for Zhao Chuanxin and Chengming, everyone else was left in the outer courtyard.
