The man glanced at the spear in Zhou Xian's hand, then looked at the hand gun in the old man's hand. He nodded in appreciation and said, "It's good for children to have ambition, but most of the time he has to speak by strength. The jujube gun in your hand is good, and that hand gun is also good, but I still have the advantage. Moreover, I have six horses, as long as I pester you with five people, I can send one person to find reinforcements at will. And you only have two horses, and you will definitely not be able to escape. Unless you are willing to abandon them, you will still be dead in the end."

Zhou Xian looked ugly and sat opposite him. This man was meticulous in thinking and clear in logic, not an ordinary stupid bandit. If he really did, it would be difficult to escape tonight. Zhou Xian looked at him and said, "Why haven't you done it yet?" Zhou Xian quietly gave the old man a wink. The old man raised the pistol in his hand and aimed at the man, so that Zhou Xian felt relieved. The meaning was very clear. As long as this man dared to move, he would hold him hostage with a musket as soon as possible and then kill him out.

The man completely ignored the musket aiming at him, looked up at Zhou Xian, and sighed softly: "I said that, I just came here to ask for a glass of warm wine. But after seeing your two horses, I felt a little moved again. They looked so majestic. I have never encountered such a good horse yet!"

The horse that the man mentioned was two imperial horses given to Zhou Xian by Emperor Chongzhen. They were specially transported on board by Zhou Xian and rode all the way here. Zhou Xian's face changed slightly, but hesitated without any hesitation. "Brother, if you really like it, what will I give you these two horses? But the premise is that you must let all of us leave safely."

Chen Feng's face changed suddenly and he hurriedly said, "Second Young Master, those two horses are..."

Zhou Xian knew what he wanted to say, so he waved his hand to stop him, and then looked at the man in a steady state.

The man was obviously stunned at first, but after a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "These two horses are worth at least a thousand taels of silver everywhere. Don't you want to try your best to escape from me?"

Zhou Xian shook his head and said, "Although a thousand taels of silver is more important, life is more important. If I were the only one, I might be able to escape, but now I understand it is not."

The man pondered for a moment, then raised his head and drank a few sips of wine. He smiled and said, "It seems that you not only value friendship, but also know when to give up decisively. It is very suitable for my appetite." As he said that, he handed the wine bag in his hand back to Zhou Xian and said, "Little brother, my name is Xie Qian, what do you call it?"

"Xie Qian... are you Xie Qian?" the old man exclaimed.

Xie Qian smiled and said, "It's like a fake one."

For some reason, Zhou Xian sounded very familiar with the name Xie Qian. He looked at the old man, who didn't care about Xie Qian's side and said directly: "He is a giant bandit who ran rampant Qing, Lai and Dengzhou. It is said that he had tens of thousands of bandits and more than one thousand horse bandits under him. Before, Governor Xu had recruited soldiers from the guards to encircle him, but his whereabouts were uncertain and his tactics were changing. In the end, countless soldiers were damaged, but he didn't even catch his Mao. The government offered a reward of 1,000 taels of silver to ask for his population, but he didn't expect to meet him here."

The old man looked at Xie Qian for a while, hesitated, and then said, "Although he was a bandit, he was doing a business of robbing families and houses. However, the robbers were all rich people. Not only did they not harm the poor, but sometimes they also helped the poor and were called righteous bandits by the people of the three states."

Xie Qian smiled and said, "Old man, do you know a lot!"

The old man bowed and said, "Shame. The old man is a military household in the front office of Wang Xuzhai. At that time, the soldiers recruited by Governor Xu were from our garrison, so he heard about the king."

Xie Qian laughed and said, "You are a soldier, I am a bandit. It's really a fate to meet here today. Come on, I still have half a bag of coarse grain wine here, so my father didn't dislike it and drank it two times."

At this time, Zhou Xian remembered why he was so familiar with the name Xie Qian. Speaking of him, he had to mention Sun Zhixie, a great traitor in the late Ming Dynasty. This old man was an official of the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, he begged for surrender and took the lead in shaving his head and leaving his braids with his family and slaves, wholeheartedly trying to serve the Qing Dynasty.

In order to attract people's hearts and promote him to be the Minister of Rites. At that time, the surrendered ministers of the Ming Dynasty still wore Ming Dynasty costumes and were listed in two groups with Manchus. However, he, the Han minister with a whip, was not accepted by the two Manchus and Han ministers. In anger, the Manchus proposed that the Han people shave their hair and braids be kept. Then the policy of "leaving their heads without leaving their hair, leaving their hair without leaving their heads", and a bloody storm broke out in northern and southern China.

It was at this time that Xie Qian responded to the situation and led his troops to launch an uprising in Qingcheng, conquering Lai and Yizhou one after another, capturing a small half of Shandong, shaking the Jianghuai area.

During this process, Xie Qian captured the important town of Zichuan and captured Sun Zhixie, who was idle at home at the time, and his family of men, women, and hundreds of men, women, and young and old. Sun Zhixie was tied up for dozens of days, and his punishment was to prepare for the five poisons. The most famous of them should be that he poked a thin hole in his scalp, used pig hair to re-transplant it, and finally dismembered him to death.

Xie Qian's uprising lasted for three years, and even the Jiaozhou general surrendered to him during the sea trip. But in the end, he was exterminated because he was outnumbered and lacked foreign aid. He himself was captured. At that time, Dorgon heard that Xie Qian was both wise and brave, so he personally issued an order to surrender. Xie Qian said at that time: "The people only live for free, and the change of their lords is not an obstacle for our people, but they will never be able to bind foreign races. Now, we must not force our Han people to abandon their ancestors, let alone do our lives for the Qing Dynasty."

Later, in the autumn of 1649, Xie Qian himself was killed in Zibo.

In the past, when Zhou Xian understood Sun Zhixie, he accidentally learned about Xie Qian. At this time, when the old man said again, he was sure that Xie Qian in front of him should be the Xie Qian in history. He felt a little favor in his heart and bowed, "It turns out that it is Xie Zheng, and next week he is Xian."

"Zhou Xian..." Xie Qian pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that the court sent a new Laizhou magistrate, who seemed to be named Zhou Xian. I also heard that he was from Tanhua and led his troops to kill Zhang Xianzhong a few months ago. It wouldn't be you, little brother!" Xie Qian laughed after saying that, and he probably didn't even believe his words. Because under the influence of ordinary people, such a person should not be a young man under the age of twenty.

Chen Feng's face changed slightly. He didn't know why Zhou Xian revealed his real name even though he knew that Zhou Xian had known the identity of the other party's bandit. But after seeing Xie Qian's words, he found that he didn't care at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
