Chapter 193 Three Disabled Persons
"He went to the guard post on the second day of the New Year? When did it happen? Who was responsible for him going to Wangjia Village in the guard post? When did you come here?"

Zhu Shenzhui asked a series of questions, and Wang Jinwu told him with a smile not to worry, as it had already been arranged.

Since Wang Jinwu followed Wang Rong to take the children of Wangjia Village to the guard post, Xia Dong and Wang Chuer were in charge of Wangjia Village. Xia Dong was still mainly responsible for the original affairs, and added some daily trivial matters of Wangjia Village. Wang Chuer assisted Xia Dong and managed the children of Wangjia Village as his deputy.

Because he was going to Zhaowuling, Wang Jinwu consulted with Wang Rong and proposed to transfer Wang Chuer to the guard post to replace him as Wang Rong's personal guard. At the same time, he would re-arrange someone in Wangjia Village to be Xia Dong's deputy.

Wang Rong thought about it and felt that the situation in the garrison had stabilized. He basically had control over the garrison and had formed an interest group with the Qianhu Suo below it. His position was now secure.

In this situation, it makes no sense for Wang Jinwu to continue to stay by his side. As a father, he always hopes that his son will have a better future. If Wang Jinwu continues to be his personal guard, he will not be able to make a name for himself. In this case, it would be better for him to stay in Zhaowuling.

In this way, Wang Rong agreed to Wang Jinwu's request and transferred Wang Chuer from Wangjia Village. At the same time, he selected a smart and reliable person from the children who remained in Wangjia Village to replace Wang Chuer as Xia Dong's deputy.

As for why Wang Jinwu came to Zhaowuling, it was simple to explain. It all started with Zhu Shenzhui asking Zhou Anmin to find someone from Yiwu. Didn't the person from Yiwu arrive some time ago? Wang Jinwu happened to be free that day, so he accompanied Zhou Anmin to pick him up.

After meeting the people and sitting down to have a chat, Wang Jinwu immediately became interested when he learned that these three unremarkable old guys were actually veterans of the Qi Family Army.

No one knew how Wang Jinwu communicated with them, but the next day Wang Jinwu had the idea of ​​coming to Zhaowuling, which led to the incident of persuading Wang Rong.

A few days ago, Wang Jinwu personally sent the three veterans from the guard post to Zhaowuling. After arriving at Zhaowuling, he stayed there. Not only him, but also his apprentice Li You came with him. He has been hanging out with Lu Yisheng and others these days, and his life is very exciting.

"Sixth brother, don't underestimate these three people you found. They have great skills. You can be said to have found a treasure." Wang Jinwu said excitedly, leaning close to Zhu Shenzhu's ear.

Zhu Shenzhui hadn't met the person yet, but Wang Jinwu's words aroused Zhu Shenzhui's great interest. Zhu Shenzhui knew very well what kind of person his cousin was. Although he seemed carefree on weekdays, he was very arrogant. If the person didn't have real ability, he would never admit defeat.

Now they actually said this about the three veterans of the Qi family army, and they took the initiative to run from the garrison to Zhaowuling. This alone is enough to prove that these three veterans are extraordinary.

Zhu Shenzhui's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly became interested and asked directly where the person was now.

Wang Jinwu pointed to the Hundred Households Office and said that the people had settled down and were living there these days. Because Zhu Shenzhui had not come back, Lu Yisheng could not make other arrangements, so he waited for him to come and see him before making any decisions.

"Let's go! Take a look!" Zhu Shenzhui said this and strode towards the Hundred Households Office.

The current Hundred Households Office has grown to a considerable size, with newly built houses everywhere and a carefully planned layout. It looks no different from an ordinary village, but in fact it is a camp structure.

In addition to an entrance on the north side, the entire Hundred Households Office also has an exit on the south side, which is connected to a road that leads directly to Zhaowu Village in the south.

In addition, there is a relatively hidden path in the northeast direction, which is hidden in the backyard of one of the courtyards. There is a door over there, which is usually closed. If you open the door and go out from there, bypass a huge rock, there is a path hidden behind the huge rock. This path winds down along the cliff and leads directly to the forest below. If you walk straight from this forest, you can reach the vicinity of Yangtou Mountain.

In addition, the north-south direction of the village is not unobstructed. According to the terrain design, it has the shadow of a city wall. However, this wall has not been built yet, because the entire Hundred Households Office has not been completed, and the workshops and mines are still being arranged. We have to wait until everything is completed before considering these.

It will take at least half a year. After all these are done, the entire Hundred Households will be arranged like a castle, with a well-controlled advance and retreat, easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as the gate of the Hundred Households is closed, relying on the city walls and the facilities inside, even if ten times the number of people come, they will not be able to take over the Hundred Households.

After entering the Hundred Households Office, Zhu Shenzhui looked around carefully, feeling quite satisfied. As he walked, he asked Lu Yisheng beside him about the situation of the Hundred Households Office these days. Lu Yisheng had been prepared and answered fluently. After listening to his explanation, Zhu Shenzhui was very happy and really encouraged him. "Sixth brother, the people are settled here." When they arrived at one of the small courtyards of the Hundred Households Office, Wang Jinwu pointed to the gate of the courtyard and said.

Seeing that he was about to push the door after he finished speaking, Zhu Shenzhui quickly grabbed him and asked him and Lu Yisheng to wait outside for the time being while he went in to take a look first.

I walked forward and pushed the door. The gate was ajar and it opened when I pushed it.

When I entered the yard, I saw three people sitting in the yard. Two of them were playing chess, and the other one was sitting aside watching. His hands were not idle. He was holding a handful of straw and weaving something.

These three people are all quite old and their hair is already gray.

One of the two people playing chess had lost a leg, with a cane beside him. The other had lost an arm, and the missing arm was his right hand.

As for the man who was watching the game, his arms and legs were intact, but one of his eyes was blind. There was a deep scar on his face from a knife. The knife had been used very hard, cutting from his forehead down to the base of his ear. It was also because of this knife that he lost his left eye. Although the wound had healed long ago, he still looked very scary. His whole face was deformed and looked somewhat hideous.

"Lou Laoer! Don't you know that you should not regret your moves? Why are you cheating again?" The man with the broken leg suddenly shouted and stretched out his hand to hold down the left hand of Lou Laoer who was playing chess with him.

"How did I cheat? I was careless just now. Is it okay to be careless? Besides, I haven't made a move yet. As long as my hand doesn't leave the chess piece, it doesn't count as a move!" Lou Lao Er retorted rudely.

"Bullshit! This doesn't count as making a move? You've already raised your hand, so raising your hand means making a move. Don't you understand this rule? Besides, you're touching the chess piece with your hand. Are you touching a woman? I haven't figured out what kind of person you are after all these years."

"Bullshit, I'm the kind of person who regrets a move? I've never done such a wicked thing since I was born. Besides, if I say I didn't make a move, then I didn't make a move. You know I'm missing an arm and only have one hand left. Just now when I was playing chess, I suddenly felt itchy on my face and scratched it a few times. Doesn't that count as making a move? Don't spit blood on me, Yan Laosi."

"Bah!" Yan Laosi spat at him without any courtesy, with a look of contempt: "Has Lou Laoer never done anything immoral in your life? It's okay to fool others, but you said this in front of me? Let me ask you, how many Mongolian women did you get when you were fighting the Mongols in Xuanfu? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself before you say this. It's okay to play with Mongolian girls, but you even didn't let go of Mongolian old women in their 50s and 60s? How can you be a human being? And, do you remember the time you led people to rob my military exploits? It was obviously me who led people to win the battle, and while I was taking a breath, you actually secretly cut off my military exploits. You have done too many immoral things in your life!"

"How can this be considered immoral?" Lou Lao Er said smugly, "Playing with a few Mongolian women is considered immoral? What? It's not like I'm fucking your Yan family's women, why are you dancing so happily? The Mongols can kill our Ming people and rob our Ming women, so why can't I play with their women?"

"Tit for tat, I'm taking revenge! Do you understand revenge? Besides, can you blame me for cutting off the head? You didn't cut it off and just left it there to waste, and I thought you didn't care about it. I kindly brought a few brothers to help, but you didn't say thank you, and it's my fault? This is the conscience of heaven and earth, even a good person can't do it?"

As he said that, Lou Lao Er turned around and asked the old man who was making up something and laughing at the side: "Lao Jin, let me ask you if what I just said was right? In this war, you rely on your own ability. On the battlefield, whoever strikes faster will have the advantage. Who can he blame for being slow? It is better to give advantage to your own brothers than to give advantage to outsiders, isn't that right?"

Lao Jin chuckled and said lightly, "Don't involve me in this matter. You two old guys are no good, you are the same, buddy, there is no need for anyone to blame anyone."

"Old Jin, I don't like what you said. What do you mean you are all bad people? What? Are you the only good person in the world?" Old Lou Er looked at Old Jin with a squinting eye, and said with a mocking tone: "You have as much shit under your ass as we do. Have you forgotten all the things you did with Old Liu? That fire was really bad! It killed hundreds of people in one go. By the way, when we went to North Korea, you also took a lot of credit from the friendly forces there, and secretly killed a few Koreans to gain military merit. At that time, the great commander was so arrogant that he almost chopped off your head. If it weren't for us brothers pleading for you, you would have been dead long ago!"

"What are you talking about...what are you talking about..." Lao Jin's smile froze instantly. The scar on his face made him look particularly awkward. He said angrily, "We were talking about playing chess. Why did you bring me up? It's been so many years. A hero doesn't talk about his past achievements. Is it interesting to talk about the past? Play chess, play chess. I'm just watching the game. A true gentleman watches the game without saying a word..."

"Hahaha." Yan Laosi laughed, pointing at Lao Jin who was laughing so hard that he was bent over backwards, and kept patting his remaining thigh with one hand: "You old man can't read a few words but you're still quibbling about words, what's the matter? Are you planning to take the exam to become a scholar? You still think you're a true gentleman who watches chess without saying a word? Bah! You've never done a gentlemanly thing in your life. Among the old brothers back then, who was the most sinister? You would say the second brother, and no one dared to be the boss. What's wrong? You're so old now? The villain has become a gentleman? Come on!"
