Zhou Shixiang, who appeared in the house, was dressed in a scholarly outfit, which made the young Southern Ming official stunned. When he saw that the scholar's head was actually clenched, he immediately showed contempt. His original expectations were no longer visible. Instead, he said coldly to Hu Quan: "When I came, Governor Zhang had told me that although Hu Quan became a bandit in Daqiao Mountain, his conscience has not yet disappeared, and his heart is still towards the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, as long as I come here, as long as you understand the righteousness, you will be happy to be the loyal minister and righteous man of my Emperor Ming Dynasty. But now it seems that what Governor Zhang said is wrong, and you, Mr. Hu, have not been towards Daqiao Mountain. This official is also a waste of time."

After hearing what was said, Boss Hu frowned, wondering what he was referring to, and said confused: "Why did Lord Cheng say this?"

"Didn't you ask this knowingly?"

The young Southern Ming official called Lord Cheng pointed at Zhou Shixiang with a hand, and then snorted at Hu Quan and said, "You have already set a line with the Tartars. How can you still be a loyal minister and righteous man in the Ming court?" After that, without waiting for Hu Quan to react, he stood up. Seeing this, the four Ming guards quickly followed.

Having a thread with the Tartars? How is this said!

Boss Hu was stunned and said that he was a bandit, and that he could kill people more and more disasters and harm the people, but he could say that he could collude with the Tartars. Seeing that Lord Cheng was about to leave, he was in a hurry and stepped forward to block his face.

When Lord Cheng saw Hu Quan trying to stop him, he couldn't help but feel angry and said in a trembling voice: "What? Are you going to take my head to seek credit from the Tartars!"

"Protect your sir!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the four Ming soldiers hurriedly drew their swords. As soon as they drew their swords, the men under Boss Hu also started to move and picked up the guys. For a moment, the swords in the room were tense and the atmosphere was extremely tense. The four Ming soldiers guards were so nervous that their palms were sweating. If they really started, they would immediately ask the bandits to chop off their swords.

Although Lord Cheng was a little brave, he was pointed at by so many swords, and his calf could not help but tremble slightly, and his heart felt bitter: If I had known that Hu Quan had colluded with the Tartars, why should I run to die? That Zhang Xiaoqi really killed me!

"What are you doing? Put your knife down!"

Seeing that the misunderstanding became more and more serious, Lord Cheng's face was even more scared and quickly stopped his subordinates from doing anything. Although he was no longer a Ming army but a bandit, he was still close to Nan Ming. Without any necessity, he did not want to stop the Ming army's path, nor did he want to be pointed at the backbone and scolded him as a traitor.

After all the subordinates calmed down, Boss Hu clasped his fists and said to the official surnamed Cheng: "Mr. I misunderstood that this brother Zhou is not a Tartar, but a righteous man who killed Yuyunlong, the thief. The Tartars are now wanting him everywhere. If he doesn't believe it, I'll send someone out to inquire!"

"Kill the righteous man of Youyunlong?" Lord Cheng couldn't help looking at Zhou Shixiang again in surprise and said, "Are you the scholar Zhou Shixiang of Xinhui?"

Zhou Shixiang knew that the young official had misunderstood him. If both sides really started to fight, it would be difficult for him to get involved in the middle. After all, he was preparing to join Li Dingguo to Guangxi, and Li Dingguo was the guardian of the Southern Ming court. If Li Dingguo knew that a Southern Ming official had died because of him, it would be hard to say. He nodded quickly and said, "I am Zhou Shixiang."

"So it's you."

Lord Cheng thought he had known Zhou Shixiang's name for a long time, and his eyebrows were relieved. He also left his guard. After signaling the guard to put the knife down, he looked at Zhou Shixiang again, nodded slightly, and said, "Since he killed Yuyunlong's righteous man, he was naturally not a Tartar. I did misunderstand." After saying that, he ignored Zhou Shixiang and said to Hu Quan: "Do you have made up your mind if you accept the appointment of the court?"

"this..."

Boss Hu hesitated and showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

Seeing this, Lord Cheng took out a blank document with a seal from his arms and held it in his hand. He ordered the guard behind him to take out a large seal and said to Hu Quan: "I have already brought the seal. As long as you agree, I will be the general of Luo Dingzhou, the Ming Dynasty, immediately!"

Luo Dingzhou General!

Looking at the provocation and the seal, Boss Hu said it was fake that he was not moved. He transformed from a bandit into a general. This temptation and temptation were not something that ordinary people could resist. However, thinking of the troubles after the appointment, he was very determined. After all, only the dozens of people under his command could not go to Luo Dingzhou. If he really wanted to go, he might not have done so, but his life would be lost first.

Seeing Hu Quan's face still hesitating when he saw Hu Quan's confession and General Chancellor Dayin, Lord Cheng's face changed immediately, and he said dissatisfied: "General Luo Ding is a military officer of the third rank, and the emperor also knows the name. If you, Hu Quan, are not suitable, there are many other people who are eager to be." After saying that, he advised: "I also know your difficulties, but the court is in danger now, and all the benevolent people in the world are running for the revival of the Ming Dynasty. As the saying goes, you are a tyrant, but you are a tyrant in the world, but as long as you have the Ming Dynasty, the court will never treat you badly. When the Northern Expedition is successful in the future, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a wife and a son?"

Before he finished speaking, Peng Dazhu jumped out and cursed: "The court? What a bullshit court! When the Tartars came, where was the court? When our brothers fought with the Tartars, where was the Emperor Yongli? Mom was so stupid, a piece of broken paper and a broken seal that asked me and my brothers to work hard. Your court's business is really cost-effective!"

When he shouted, someone immediately shouted: "Don't fool us with this shit ginseng general. If you really want to give us money and food. Brothers, for the sake of real money and silver, maybe they can still fight Luo Dingcheng for you! But if we speak verbally, we have to work hard, and there is no way!"

"Luo Dingzhou is in the hands of the Qing army, but you have appointed our elder brother as General Luo Ding. Hehe, is this an official from the Ming Dynasty or an official from the Qing Dynasty?"

"Brother, don't believe the nonsense of this bird official. Last year, you led your brothers and the governor named Zhang to buy Xinhui City. What was the result? So many brothers died. Whoever named Zhang gave us a good word, is it a tael of silver?"

“…….”

Hearing this shout, Lord Cheng was really angry and cursed: "You bandits who are not arrogant, have no monarch, have no father, have no shame, are really foul, have no evil!..."

"Whoever is surnamed Cheng, don't forget that we are a bandit's nest. How can those who are bandits in this world not be fooled?"

"If you think we are shameless, why are you going from Gaozhou to do all the way? Why? The officials of the Ming Dynasty court dealt with bandits and even appointed bandit leaders as high-ranking officials. Who is shameless and who is bastard?"

"Ha ha..."

The crowd burst into laughter, and the men were yelling at each other, and it was really unconventional.

Boss Hu was silent there, as it seemed that he had already considered it in his heart and had made up his mind to not be appointed. He would let these brothers go to make trouble with the Cheng surname. If the Cheng surname left, it would be better.

Zhou Shixiang was confused when he heard this. He half understood and half didn't understand. It was this Nanming official named Cheng who came to grant the title of official position to Boss Hu in order to make Boss Hu work for Nanming. Boss Hu obviously didn't want to work for the Emperor of the Zhu family in vain.

I don’t understand, Boss Hu has only a few dozen people, so how could the Southern Ming court be worthy of it? He also wrote a letter to be a general of the third rank. Could it be that the military officers of the Southern Ming Dynasty are as cheap as dogs? Besides, did the Southern Ming Dynasty have a regular army adapted from the former Daxi Army? The combat effectiveness seems to be not worse than that of the Qing army. Why do you need to recruit some bandits? What can you expect these bandits to do?

All the officials in the Nanming were broken?

Zhou Shixiang was inexplicably surprised. Seeing Duke Xiang of Song standing behind the crowd, he looked like he was watching a show. He moved his heart and squeezed over while the chaos, pulled the other party lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Song, who is this?"

Duke Xiang of Song smiled and lowered his voice, "Don't look at this boy's young, but his official position is not small. His name is Cheng Bangjun, and he is the deputy chief of the Ministry of War of the Yongli court."

The Ministry of War Department Officer Wailang?

Zhou Shixiang didn't understand what this official was for and how old he was. But since he was from the Ministry of War, it must have something to do with the army. Then combine the matter today and think that this person was probably sent by the Yongli court to specially recruit various miscellaneous armies and bandits.

"I just want us to work hard. The Yongli court is really unreasonable. Last year we suffered the loss of Zhang Xiaoqi. This year's situation is not as good as last year. This time, we can't be fooled by them no matter what. They are, they are not soldiers and want to coax the Emperor Yongli to play, so they treat us as fools."
