Chapter 184: All for living

"I've seen a distinguished guest."

Although Zheng Dabiao couldn't remember it, he was not rude. The man in front of him had a stronger blood energy. I'm afraid he had seen a ruthless character with blood.

"This is Miss Wei from Hekou Fort, I am here to find you."

When Zheng Dabiao's wife saw her man, she quickly stood up and gave in and said, "You talk first, I'll get some food."

Mulan stood up until Zheng Dabiao's wife went out, and she looked at Zheng Dabiao with a scrutiny look. The man in front of her was very thin, and her torn cotton jacket was also loose. If it weren't for the tight enough strapped belt on her waist, she would probably have fallen.

"You are Zheng Dabiao?"

"The little one is."

Although Zheng Dabiao is sometimes confused, he is very clear at the moment and is honest and respectful when answering.

"You can shoot?"

"The young man was once a gunner in the artillery camp. During the Bozhou Rebellion, he once killed the general who had killed the thieves."

When Mulan heard this answer, she nodded. Zheng Dabiao used to be drunk and boasted that he had killed Yang Yinglong's general in Bozhou in one shot, but now she answered honestly.

"You haven't touched a cannon for more than ten years. Now that you have to make a cannon, do you still have to be sure?"

Mulan frowned and finally asked. Zheng Dabiao looked so thin that he was like a stinger, so he was afraid he couldn't even move the cannon.

"Don't worry, Miss Wei, remember some things in your head and you can't forget them."

Although Zheng Dabiao didn't know what Miss Wei was coming in front of him, he also knew that this might be his chance to change his life. No one would come to the door to ask him if he would have sex.

"Just give a small opportunity, although I have never touched a cannon in recent years and I am a little unfamiliar, I just need to fire a few cannons.

After a pause, Zheng Dabiao said again, and his answer made Mulan quite satisfied. He thought Zheng Dabiao was still reliable. If Zheng Dabiao dared to make a promise just now, she would probably turn around and leave immediately.

"Do you know about the Fortress of Bauguay?"

"I know, I heard that a ruthless man named Gao Yanluo was released not long ago. He now seems to be the master of the hundred households in Hekou Fort."

When Zheng Dabiao heard about Hekou Fort before, he felt a little relieved. Not long ago, there were passers-by merchants in the tavern in Zhengjia Town that there was a Gao Yanluo in Hekou Fort. He killed the thief without blinking. He was a hero who was too arrogant.

"My master is Gao Yanluo. Now he is a hundred households in Hekou Fort. There are shortages of gunners. Do you want to go there?"

Since Zheng Dabiao knew that Mulan was too lazy to talk, she asked directly that the gunner she had inquired about in Zheng Family Town, except for the Zheng Crook, had a total of three people, but the story of Zheng Dabiao sounded the most reliable.

"I wish to go, but I don't know how to calculate the salary?"

Zheng Dabiao mustered up the courage to ask Mulan. He knew that he was not good at helping and did not let the wife live a good life. His ability seemed to know how to fuck her. Now that he finally had this opportunity to make some money with this ability, he naturally wanted to ask clearly.

"I have to go to Hekou Fort. After trying the cannon, I will know if you are worth the price. But don't worry, if you go back to Hekou Fort with us, you won't let you run away in vain. Five liang of Anjia Silver. If this cannon technique is really not abandoned, it will be a monthly salary of 2 liang. If it is really given to you, you won't be able to rely on a penny of copper coins."

Seeing Zheng Dabiao asking anxiously, Mulan was not angry and directly stated her own conditions. This was the same monthly salary as the elite soldiers in the border army, but they came here to be real and there was no deduction.

Hearing such conditions, Zheng Dabiao immediately showed joy on his face and said quickly, "Go, go, Miss Wei, don't worry, I'm worth the price!"

"Since that's the case, I'll make sure that this is your Anjia Silver, I'll get it."

Mulan is a cheerful person. Since Zheng Dabiao responded in one go, she took the five taels of silver that had been prepared long ago and threw the bag to Zheng Dabiao.

After the purchase was sunk, Zheng Dabiao didn't care about the person who gave the money to him and untied it directly. Then he looked carefully. It had been so many years. Except for the victory that year, the court gave rewards, he had never seen so much money again.

After hiding the bag of silver and money close to his body, Zheng Dabiao said to Mulan according to the military ceremony, "My life will be in Gaobaijia in the future."

"Zheng Dabiao, I heard that there are two other people in Zhengjia Town who are also good at shooting artillery. Do you know the truth or false?"

Zhengjia Town has a good location and many caravans are coming and going. It is usually a prosperous place and has a large population movement. Fleeing households from outside often come here. The other two gunners Mulan inquired about are fleeing households. There are vague rumors that they were from military families. In the past, they were in the firearm camp in the Datam Fort.

"I've seen those two people, and I should understand them, but I'm definitely not serious gunners."

Zheng Dabiao thought about it carefully and replied that the two gunners in Mulan had been in Zhengjia Town for five or six years. He also met when he was drinking in the restaurant. When men were drunk, they all like to brag, and the same was true for the two of them. However, Zheng Dabiao remembered asking about the two of them about shooting guns, but he could only hesitate. He guessed that the two were not serious gunners, but miscellaneous soldiers who brought gunpowders to the gunners in the artillery camp.

Listening to Zheng Dabiao's explanation, Mulan nodded. This statement seemed much more reasonable. If the two gunners had real skills, the rumors would not be so vague. It was like Zheng Dabiao in front of him who was drunk and dared to boast that he had killed Yang Yinglong's general in one shot. Although this was his general manager, it was at least true.

"A Guang, give him the remaining pancakes. After eating, let's go and get the other two."

To recruit gunners, it is naturally impossible to bring Zheng Dabiao back alone. When the spring starts, the caravan will go out of the gate. The five tiger squat cannons must be brought with them. The gunpowder and projectiles are not cheap. You can't let Zheng Dabiao bring a few new players, let alone waste. If you meet a thief and these five tiger squat cannons are not accurate, it would be better to get a few more armor and take the young and strong people in the fortress.

After receiving a few cakes handed over by Shen Guang, Zheng Dabiao, who was so hungry, ate them a few bites, and then said, "Don't worry, Miss Wei, I know the details of those two people. If they dare to say something bad, I will go and report them to keep them obedient."

"Zheng Da, just the money paid by my second brother, those two people are fools if they don't go!"

Seeing Zheng Dabiao's complacent look, Shen Guang couldn't help but say coldly on the side that the second brother paid the gunner two taels a month was not low. You should know that the gunner only needed to fire the gunshots from behind and did not need to fight.

"That's right, Gao Baihuo's family covers the situation, and those two people are fools if they don't go."

Zheng Dabiao nodded and said, just now, when he heard Miss Wei chatting with the boy, he knew that the young people with swords were all the companions of Gao Yanluo and Gao Baihu, and he was almost the same as his brothers.

Soon, Zheng Dabiao went out and took the initiative to take Mulan and the other two gunners to find the other two gunners. Not long after he left, he met the woman who came back. So he stepped forward and stuffed the bag of silver in his arms into her hand and said, "Wife, this is Anjiayin given by Gao Baihu. Please keep it away. I will take Miss Wei and the others to find someone."

Then the bag of silver in the family was suddenly sore, Zheng Dabiao's wife scolded her husband for more than ten years of cowardice. Unexpectedly, he was really good at fucking, not useless waste.

"Sister, take this silver to buy some wine and food. We'll come back for dinner later."

Mulan threw the ingot of silver to Zheng Dabiao's wife, which made her come back to her senses and quickly responded, "Okay, OK." At this time, her husband bent over and led the way, which was already far away.

The other two gunners lived in Zhengjia Town, and they were almost close to the edge of the west side of the town. They were younger than Zheng Dabiao. They have been together since they fled to Zhengjia Town more than five years ago. They usually work hard to make a living and rarely deal with families in the town. The only pastime was to go to the restaurant to drink and get drunk, so they had an intersection with Zheng Dabiao.

"Open the door, it's me."

In front of the broken door in the fence, Zheng Dabiao knocked the door loudly and his voice was loud, as if he was afraid that the people in the earthen house, which was about ten steps away, would not hear it.

"Zheng Dabiao, what are you doing?"

The door opened, revealing a dark middle-aged face, and shouted at Zheng Dabiao. When he saw clearly that someone behind Zheng Dabiao was, his face changed drastically, Zheng Dabiao had already taken the door into his own. The man who opened the door was caught off guard and sat directly on the ground. He was very frightened and looked at Shen Guang and the others with a knife behind him.

"What do you think? I'm bringing noble people here."

Zheng Dabiao looked at the men who came out of the earthen house and cursed at them, "This is the military man from Hekou Fort. That is Miss Wei. You are lucky. The high households in Hekou Fort are short of gunners, and the monthly salary is two taels. I am so proud of this wealth that we all came from the firearm camp."

Listening to Zheng Dabiao's words, the man who got up from the ground snatched the stick from his companion's hand behind him and threw it directly on the ground. He looked at the man's clothing and the knife-bearing entourage behind her who seemed to be difficult to mess with. He asked Zheng Dabiao, "Zheng Da, have you not messed with us?"

"What do I do for that leisurely thing? Are you worthy?"

Zheng Dabiao looked at the two of them with a slanted eyes and said, "He turned his face and made them feel relieved. The older one immediately stepped forward and smiled, "Brother Zheng, you don't know what our brothers are doing..."

"I've seen Miss Wei and several masters."

After talking to Zheng Dabiao for a few words, the two men politely said to Mulan and the others that they were not fleeing households, but the officials who were on the run. However, they were not the kind of bandits and were unwilling to surrender to the thieves outside the border. After fleeing to Zheng Family Town, they stayed there when they saw that they could settle down here. However, they had always been very careful, and they had some friendship with Zheng Dabiao. Zheng Dabiao guessed their details and had been knocked on several meals of wine by Zheng Dabiao.
