A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 757 Hidden Mission

But soon, something happened, and Lao Hu's idea was sent to the sky.

It was this day. He wandered around the streets, looking for targets that he could attack. He still had a lot of experience in kidnapping and blackmailing, and he could be called an expert.

However, as he was turning around on the street, he suddenly saw a group of people wearing red felt hats and blue short armor rushing towards them, each of them holding a blunderbuss in their hands, and Lao Hu even heard the sound of metal rattling. , he was creepy, this is?

Lao Hu knows that the garrison in the city is gradually moving out, and the law and order in the city is gradually being taken over by some people called patrols. These people are patrols, similar to the previous government servants.It's just that their equipment is much better than that of government servants, and many Ming army's main barracks are not as good as them.

He broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that he hadn't started doing it yet, these people...

He knew that at this moment, he should not panic. He forced a smile on his face, and was about to speak, when the policemen rushed past like a gust of wind, ignoring him, making his smile froze on his face, and at the same time loosened. tone.

He looked curiously, and saw that these patrols had surrounded a courtyard by the street, and then saw two leaders who looked like striding over, and stopped not far from him, and the sound of conversation between the two could be faintly heard.

"Old Yang, is this here?"

"The report from the local security chief is here, and there will be no mistakes."

"Well, it doesn't matter if you rush in later, it doesn't matter whether you are dead or alive. For these rangers, thieves and villains, you just want to give them a heavy blow. They would rather die than live."

"That's right. Some people suspect that our patrols cannot guarantee law and order. Let the world see that we are capable of ensuring that people live and work in peace and contentment."

They were talking, and one of them glanced at Lao Hu with his sharp eyes, which made him tremble all over. He hurriedly laughed and strode away.

After walking a few steps, he heard the sound of gunfire. He couldn't help but look back and saw that there was a lot of chaos. People kept jumping out of the courtyard from the wall and windows. From them, he smelled the same kind of breath, but these At this time, people are like chickens and ducks, knocked to the ground one by one by the firearms.

Even the people who were shot rolled all over the ground in pain, the screams were earth-shattering, blood was dripping everywhere on the street.

Lao Hu even saw a rather sturdy big man wielding a long knife and jumped down from the window on the second floor, intending to break out.

Now that the weapons control in Xuanfu Town is getting stricter, this man can get a long knife, which is quite powerful.

And judging from his skill, Lao Hu can conclude that this person must be a member of Wu Jiading, a border town army, and his own skill may not necessarily be comparable to him.

However, it was such a person, just as he jumped out of the window, a carp rolled up and got up, several bullets had already hit him, knocking his whole body straight out, and he just twitched when he fell to the ground, with blood streaming down his body. Blockbuster, obviously can't survive.

Lao Hu only felt numbness in his hands and feet, and his body trembled. At this moment, he understood why fat sheep can live in peace in this place, and why even the most vicious people can become law-abiding citizens in this place.

What the clerk said at that time echoed like thunder in his ears: "If it's a dragon, you can coil it up for me, if it's a tiger, you can also lie down for me."

In those few days, there seemed to be the sound of birds and guns everywhere in the town. A large group of knight-errants and swordsmen, thieves and thieves were caught and killed. Afterwards, hundreds of corpses were hung on the city wall for public display. Sign, enumerating their various crimes, what they committed after entering Xuanfu Town, and so on.

Lao Hu also went to see it. Apart from fear, he didn't have any idea of ​​making a vote. At this time, he didn't have much money, and it was the first time he seriously considered making a living.

Thinking about it, there are still many things to make a living in Xuanfu Town, unlike other places in Daming, where even if you want to work, you can't survive.

In the small courtyard he rented, the local security guard was a veteran of the Jingbian Army, surnamed Zhou, injured on his left thigh and limping when walking, but his life was very nourishing, and he had a flower-like jade My wife has a lively and lovely son, who always makes Lao Hu envious.

This week, the Baochang will chat with Lao Hu when he has nothing to do. Today, he asked again: "Brother Hu hasn't found a shop yet?"

At that time, I was renting a small courtyard, and the owner had to report to the security chief. Lao Hu told him that he came to Xuanfu Town to do business. At this time, he just laughed dryly: "I haven't found a suitable one yet. It seems that I had to find a job..."

Zhou Baochang said: "Indeed, business is not easy to do, and finding a job is the right way."

His words were meaningful: "If you want to find a job, you need to be quick. Now Xuanzhen has already obtained a work permit. Without this permit, it will be bad if you are caught by the police and sent to a shelter."

Zhou Baochang gave Lao Hu advice that he is good at skills, he can go to the Escort Bureau for a try, and before going to the Escort Bureau, he can go to the "Grand Master Hall" for assessment, if he can obtain the status of "Swordsman", he can enjoy the treatment of the second-class army of the Jingbian Army .

With the identity of a swordsman, there are many choices. Enlisting in the army is just a one-time job. All the caravans and escort agencies will rush to get him as a talent.

Lao Hu was quite moved. He had no interest in joining the army, but dart walking was still suitable for him. At that moment, the advertisement of Yangwei Escort Agency that he heard at that time flashed through his mind.

So Lao Hu went to the "Grandmaster Hall".

The "Grandmaster Hall" is at the boundary of Baoanzhou on the East Road. When Lao Hu arrived, he saw a magnificent building compound, crowded with guys from all over the place who came to assess, many of whom were frightened by the black storm in his opinion of the same kind.

The "Grandmaster Hall" is divided into Swordsman Hall, Gunners Hall, Craftsman Hall, etc. Of course, Lao Hu chose the swordsman category. He took the bow and arrow in his hand, and a string of arrows attracted everyone present. There was a wave of applause, and even the examiners were quite surprised.

Very smoothly, Lao Hu obtained the status of a swordsman, and the badge awarded to him was still the mark of a medium swordsman.

At that moment, he was surrounded by business detectives watching from the field, and all kinds of famous thorns filled his hands.

"This swordsman, I am the steward of the Yangwei Escort..."

"This swordsman, I am the steward of the Yangwu Escort..."

"This swordsman, I am the steward of the Zhenwu Escort..."

"This swordsman, I am the manager of Yitong Trading Company..."

"I wonder if your Excellency is interested in working in this place? Absolutely, the treatment will be favorable."

At that moment, Lao Hu felt an indescribable sense of honor in his heart. Even if he didn't go out to make a vote, he could still live well with his own hands.

Resolutely, Lao Hu joined the Yangwei Escort Bureau and started his dart career.

Yangwei Bodyguard Agency is a well-known bodyguard agency in Xuan Town, specializing in escorting large quantities of goods and silver taels for caravans, or being hired by individuals.

I used to go from Baoanzhou to Taiyuan, because the business of the Escort Bureau was very good in troubled times, and now I have opened up a route from Zhencheng to Datong, to Ningwuguan, and even to Yansui Town, and I am still planning a business route to Xi'an.

The life of an escort is generally leisurely. Except for the mission of escorting, he spends his free time on weekdays, and Lao Hu feels very satisfied.

Of course, the government is not without control over them, such as the management of weapons.

After entering the Escort Bureau, although Lao Hu's spears, waist knives, bows and arrows, etc. were taken from the shelter, they were managed by the Escort Bureau on weekdays. They were only distributed to individuals when they were on missions. They still belonged to Xuanfu Town. If the reservists are mobilized against them, they will also have to fight.

Soon, Lao Hu got used to the life of the escort agency, and sometimes he couldn't help but sigh when recalling the past years, why did he become an escort agency?Some feel the impermanence of fate.

Lao Hu started a chic life again. As an escort of a middle-level swordsman, his income is still very considerable, and he earned the money legally, so he spent it with peace of mind.

He often invites friends, entertains colleagues, and throws down a lot of silver coins without changing his face, and soon becomes a famous figure in Yangwei Escort.

He has also become a highly respected person in this workshop. If someone's financial situation is in trouble, he only needs to mention a word, and he will donate generously without saying a word.

The name of "Master Hu" is well-known in this street, and the personal friendship with Zhou Baochang is getting stronger.

Of course, Lao Hu is almost [-] after calculation, so he has some physical needs, but he always feels empty after going to the brothel to play.

Looking at the harmonious and beautiful life of Zhou Baochang's family, I am envious and thinking, is it time to start a family?There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest thing is to have no descendants.

For the first time he thought about it seriously.

The turning point of fate came in June, when he passed by a sewing factory while walking darts, a group of sewing girls poured out, he whistled loudly with a group of escorts, but while whistling, Lao Hu was stunned.

He saw a young girl among them, and the other tailors were glaring and frowning, but she looked shy, and how similar was this young girl to the figure deep in his heart?

Those eyebrows, those eyes, that timid expression are everywhere. At that moment, Lao Hu's softest part was touched.

Like many people, he has always had a lingering figure in his heart. Even though he has seen many women in the future, in his heart, she is the most beautiful.

She is so kind and shy, Lao Hu is willing to use all good adjectives to describe her.

"Brother Tiande, I'll wait for you..."

The words of parting also became the most intense pain in Lao Hu's heart.

When a catastrophe came, people in the village continued to starve to death. In order to survive, he joined the army. In the army, he desperately killed the enemy just to reward the silver. After two years, he felt that it was almost the same. The whole village was burned to the ground.

He didn't know which group of thieves or rebels did it, and all his family members were dead. When he found the location of her home, he only found a mutilated body with an embroidered shoe left on his foot.

Judging from the appearance of her body, she was raped and murdered.

At that moment, Lao Hu was crying loudly, he was in great pain, he screamed, but it was useless, a person died, he died.

Afterwards he wanted to take revenge, but he didn't know who to turn to. From then on, Lao Hu was very tyrannical. He quickly became a prostitute and a villain. From the original Ji Town to Shanhai Town, I don't know how many owners changed , everything, just living numbly.

But even though ten years have passed, the expression of that figure peeking at me shyly and timidly, and the sadness of parting, can never be forgotten.

So when he saw this girl, he fell, and Lao Hu fell in love.
