Qiao Zhiqing walked out of the door, and a middle-aged man came out from behind the screen in the study, wearing a gray cloth coat, about the same age as Li Hongzhang, bowing down to serve Li Hongzhang's side."
Brother Yushan, you heard what the young man said just now, is this son of great use" Li Hongzhang looked at the middle-aged man with a smile, as if he was seeking some answer in his eyes."
Dashuai's vision is definitely not bad, this son is polite and courteous, and his appearance is dignified, but his background is slightly too complicated, and he was introduced by Captain Gordon in England, and he is inextricably linked with Zeng Dashuai, and his subordinates are worried that it will be difficult to control in the future."
The middle-aged man spoke out his doubts."
I see, stand down."
Li Hongzhang chuckled lightly and waved at the middle-aged man.The middle-aged man bowed with his fists and retreated carefully.The Yushan brother in Li Hongzhang's mouth is Zhou Fu, who has followed Li Hongzhang to prepare for the Huai Army at this time, and recognizes the position of copywriter.After Zhou Fu left, Li Hongzhang confidently wrote nine big characters on the paper, "The wisdom of knowing people, using people's skills, and accommodating people." ”After Qiao Zhiqing visited Li Hongzhang, Ma Xun went out of the city and returned to the dock, and Joseph Needham and Gordon reunited, so they lived in the palace and gave the carriage to Qiao Zhiqing.It was getting dark, Qiao Zhiqing and Ma Xun hurried out of the city in a carriage, the one who drove the carriage was a mute, but he was a good driver of the carriage, and the whip was very loud, it was an hour's journey, and it was only half used when he went back, Qiao Zhiqing liked him very much, and he wondered how to talk to Joseph Needham in his heart, so that this groom would follow him in the future.When the carriage reached the wharf, he saw the sparkling fires flickering in front of him.Qiao Zhiqing's heart "chuckled", this kung fu dock is still so lively, something must have happened, and when he got closer, he understood that it was Liu Ming's soldier who led the soldiers, with dancers and spears, and there were as many as a hundred people.Wang Shumao was standing on the dock brandishing a big knife, shirtless, biting the braid on his head to his mouth, and he had the heroic spirit of being a man who could not be opened.All the people on the cargo ship were loaded with bullets, and they were ready to attack, forming a confrontation with Liu Mingchuan's soldiers."
What's going on" Liu Mingchuan took out the waist knife in his arms, and was about to duel with Wang Shumao, when he heard Qiao Zhiqing's voice coming, so he slowed down."
Boss, you're back."
Wang Shumao still greeted unhurriedly, as if nothing had happened."
Lord Liu, we meet again."
Qiao Zhiqing passed through the obstruction of Bing Yong and walked to the opposite side of Liu Mingchuan and saluted with his fists."
It's you, you're the owner of this cargo ship," Liu Mingchuan asked coldly with an expressionless face."
It's the younger brother's, I don't know what Lord Liu is doing, so aggressive" Qiao Zhiqing soothed his tone, after all, he would have to work with Liu Mazi under the same account in the future."
Someone reported that your cargo ship was secretly harboring bandits and smuggling a large amount of arms and materials, and I have reason to suspect that you are colluding with traitors and trying to deliberately rebel."
Liu Mingchuan's words couldn't stop revealing murderous aura."
Hahahaha" Qiao Zhiqing laughed loudly when he heard this, and said, "Lord Liu has misunderstood the younger brother, you must have been provoked by traitors, our ship is transporting materials from the imperial court, and it has a great relationship with Lord Liu." ”"How can you say this," Liu Mingchuan looked at Qiao Zhiqing with a puzzled face."
Lord Liu, please take a look."
Qiao Zhiqing chuckled, took out Li Hongzhang's hand from his arms and handed it to Liu Mingchuan."
I see, it looks like I'm going to congratulate my brother."
Liu Mingchuan took the edict, his face was sunny and dark for a while, his teeth creaked, and after reading it, he returned the edict to Qiao Zhiqing."
Then thank you Lord Liu, and I will rely on my lord's support in the future."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled lightly and took the oracle with both hands."
Withdraw."
Liu Mingchuan gave a loud order, and the soldiers put away their knives and guns, turned around and ran away, looking very disciplined."
It seems that Liu Mingchuan still has a very good way of governing the army, no wonder he defeated the French invaders and recovered Taiwan in one fell swoop."
Qiao Zhiqing looked at the military courage of the inscription battalion and secretly sighed, in the Lianghuai region, the people are strong, especially in the hinterland of central Anhui where "soldiers, bandits, hair, and twists" are crossed, and the people have formed villages to protect themselves.The regimental training in the Luzhou area was armed with Zhang Shusheng, Zhou Shengbo, and Liu Mingchuan in Xixiang, Hefei, and the three largest forces, and they supported each other within 100 miles, and were an important part of the Huai Army.Liu Mingchuan was the first to receive the command to lead the battalion headquarters to Anqing for training, and now he is maintaining law and order in Anqing Mansion by the way."
Brother Wang, what happened just now Liu Mingchuan knew that there were arms and silver hidden on our ship" After Liu Mingchuan left, Qiao Zhiqing returned to the cargo ship with everyone and looked at Wang Shumao suspiciously."
I don't know about this, the officers and soldiers have just arrived, and they are going to search the ship without saying a word, I see that their uniforms are not in order, and I think they are local thieves pretending, so I let people shoot and warn, if anyone gets close to the cargo ship, it will not matter if they are killed.If you come back a little later, we'll already be in hand. ”Wang Shumao put on his clothes as he spoke, because Yan Yuting walked out of the cabin and looked at Qiao Zhiqing with joy.Wang Shumao, a rough man, was extremely shy in front of Yan Yuting."
Someone must have leaked the news, it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time, so we will carry supplies into the city after dark."
Qiao Zhiqing thought about the cause and effect, and decided to leave this place of right and wrong first, now Anqing City has gathered a large number of village warriors to practice, and the materials on their ships are all fat in their eyes, and the Huai Army has been working independently since its inception, and Li Hongzhang's edict does not work at a critical time."
Dongjia, what kind of official position did Master Li seal you," Wang Shumao couldn't help but ask.Qiao Zhiqing handed Li Hongzhang's edict to Wang Shumao, and instructed Ma Xun to take the mute into the city to find some carriages."
Mother, Li Dashuai is really knowledgeable, as soon as we meet, I will make the owner a battalion officer, so we can pull up a team of more than 500 people" Wang Shumao smacked his tongue and returned the edict to Qiao Zhiqing.Qiao Zhiqing nodded, and said with a straight face, "Yes, but that old guy only gave me a name, but he didn't have any military salaries, everything depends on our planning."
However, this edict is also sufficient, this is our first "Qingzi Battalion", and in the future, there will be "Maozi Battalion" and "Xunzi Battalion", and in less than a year, we will develop into the strongest army in the Qing Dynasty. ”Wang Shumao and Ma Xun listened to the enthusiasm, and immediately told the news to everyone on the boat, everyone couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, and their faces were secretly clear about the original choice, Qiao Dongjia really did not disappoint."
Brother Wang, you go and arrange it, sort out all the goods on the ship, and when Ma Xun comes back, we will load the goods into the city."
Qiao Zhiqing gave an order to Wang Shumao, and Wang Shumao turned around and went to prepare."
Young master, then I'll go into the city, and you and Miss Yuting will talk slowly."
Ma Xun saw Yan Yuting's eyes shining, retreated knowingly, and drove into the city with a dumb man."
Hey, Ma Xun, wait a minute" Qiao Zhiqing didn't speak, and Ma Xun had retreated without a trace.looked back at Yan Yuting embarrassedly, but didn't know what to say."
Brother Qiao" Yan Yuting bit her lip and shouted emotionally, took Qiao Zhiqing's hand and entered the cabin.Qiao Zhiqing was illuminated by the dim oil lamp in the cabin, and suddenly had a feeling of first love in his heart, just like now, because he was shy, he often held his lover's little hand and hid in a no-man's corner to make love.Yan Yuting is more like a girl who has tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, as soon as she entered the cabin, she wrapped her arms around Qiao Zhiqing's neck, and kissed her lips tightly on George's mouth, for fear that Qiao Zhiqing would disappear as soon as she let go, but because she was too jerky, her teeth were tightly closed, and Qiao Zhiqing's dishonest tongue was shut out."
Brother Qiao, don't throw me down again in the future, okay, I'll follow you wherever you go."
Yan Yuting pushed Qiao Zhiqing to the bed and sat down, raised her legs and sat down on Qiao Zhiqing's thighs, her upper body was close to Qiao Zhiqing, and the two round breasts continued to exude its incomparable elasticity and fragrance through the clothes, seducing Qiao Zhiqing's lower body to harden up instantly, and tightly pressed between Yan Yuting's thin buttocks."
Fool, the eldest brother is going to do business, and when the world is peaceful, the eldest brother will stay with you every day, and you can stay with the eldest brother for as long as you want."
Qiao Zhiqing gently stroked her long hair and comforted her softly."
But when I'm alone, I can't stop thinking about you, I want to talk to you, I want to hug you, I want to kiss you."
Yan Yuting couldn't help but say the words in her heart, for women in this era, these words are already very explicit.After Yan Yuting finished speaking, her cheeks were hot, and her soft face was constantly rubbing on Qiao Zhiqing's shoulder."

Fool, Brother Qiao promised you, I will definitely find time to accompany you more in the future, okay" Qiao Zhiqing finally couldn't bear the heat of his body, but when he thought of the gambling contract with Zeng Guofan, he still tried his best to restrain his desire and hugged Yan Yuting away from his body.Yan Yuting hung her head shyly, kept fiddling with her fingers, her eyes were full of disappointment."
That's it, I still have something to do, and I'll go into the city later."
Qiao Zhiqing gritted his teeth and made an excuse and walked out."
Brother Qiao" Yan Yuting was just about to stay, but seeing that Qiao Zhiqing was so resolute, she swallowed it raw, and fell on the bed quilt sullenly, thinking about what she had just said, she couldn't help blushing shyly, and hurriedly stretched out her jade hand to cover her little face."
Dongjia, why did you come out and not accompany Miss Yuting much, she talked about you for a day."
Wang Shumao explained to his subordinates, and when he saw Qiao Zhiqing coming out of the bed, he seemed to be hiding something in his heart."
Brother Wang, although you were not very beautiful when you were a dart master before, you also had no worries about food and clothing, and you didn't have to worry about eating and drinking.Now follow me all day long, fight and kill, don't you regret it" Qiao Zhiqing looked at Wang Shumao and sighed, if he didn't have that gambling contract with Zeng Guofan, maybe after this business, he would still be the third young master of the Qiao family who was merry and happy all day long, but now he is getting farther and farther away in the trajectory of his life."
What does the owner say, you and I are brothers, so naturally we want to be brothers.I decided to join the army with you, and I have never regretted it, a manly man, I always have to do one or two vigorous things in my life, and I have long been impatient with the line of the dart master. ”Wang Shumao replied with a firm face."
That's good, I will be relieved if you say so, and we will take the first step to save the country and the people in Anqing."
Qiao Zhiqing shouted heartily, and became a little closer to Wang Shumao's brotherhood
