Since the outbreak of Chaos, the Qing government has basically lost control of the region, especially the southern region.
Not to mention that after the Changmao was exterminated, the remnants of the evil spirits wandered around the mountains and became kings and brought trouble to one side.
Strong forces from all over the country are also emerging one after another, and with the participation of foreign forces and local forces, the ground in the south is gradually becoming chaotic.
With a background like Wu Dong and the little beggars, they must have seen many dead people.
However, after all, the consequences of offending a local squire can be either big or small.
Who knows what kind of connections the Huang family has in the town, and whether they may be connected to a certain big shot. Then there will be trouble.
At this time, the government could barely maintain the general order in the local area, and its deterrent effect was not weak.
Of course, he also agreed with Wu Dong's statement.
Sometimes, it is better to be decisive than to be hesitant.
"After all, my subordinates and I didn't leave many traces in the town!"
Wu Dong didn't know what Yan Zhendong was thinking. At this time, he just expressed his thoughts: "Even if the Huang family finds out something in the end, the specific identities of me and my brothers will not be clear for a while!"
At this point, he chuckled and said, "Who would pay special attention to a bunch of little beggars?"
Seeing Yan Zhendong nodding repeatedly, he continued to explain: "At that time, we had arrived in Foshan city smoothly!"
"Foshan's urban area is a mixed bag. Even if the Huang family has some influence there, as long as we are careful, there will be no problem!"
The reason why I spend so much time explaining is to stabilize Yan Zhendong.
As long as this guy follows them to the urban area of Foshan, they will have a strong protective force around them, which will be of great help to them to establish themselves in the urban area of Foshan.
Sure enough, his explanation was not in vain. Yan Zhendong did not show any strange expression and followed the little beggars to move the rice, flour, grain and oil stored in the mountains and forests.
Because it is approaching the New Year, there should not be too many cars and horses traveling to and from downtown Foshan.
At this time, Wu Dong also had some money in his hand and quietly hired two carriages. Wu Dong, his younger brothers and Yan Zhendong set out on the road together.
As for how the Huang family in the town would react after they left, they didn't bother to care about it. They had better live their own lives well first.
As mentioned before, the ruined temple where Wu Dong and his younger brothers lived was not far from Foshan city, only nearly a hundred miles away.
With carriages available for transportation, the group successfully arrived in Foshan city in just two days.
It was already the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the entire city of Foshan was ablaze with lights and colorful decorations, and the atmosphere of the New Year was very strong.
Infected by the atmosphere, all the little beggars had happy smiles on their faces.
Fortunately, he had found out beforehand that Wu Dong, his younger brother and Yan Zhendong rented a small courtyard directly from the inn on the street where Bao Zhilin was located.
There is no need for Wu Dong and Yan Zhendong to do the cleaning, a bunch of little beggars will take care of it naturally.
Wu Dong and Yan Zhendong walked directly on the streets to familiarize themselves with the environment.
“The downtown area is really bustling!”
"Isn't this nonsense? Foshan is an important town in Guangdong Province. Nowadays, many foreigners come to do business. How can it not be prosperous?"
"You're doing business, I'm afraid they're here to rob you!"
"You are biased. Whether it is for the country or an individual, being weak is the original sin. If you are strong, foreigners will do business with you honestly, otherwise haha..."
Shaking his head, Wu Dong didn't want to bring up the topic of foreigners.
It is said that at this time, in Yan Zhendong's hometown, a movement to exterminate foreign religions was rising, and the hatred for foreigners was quite strong. It is estimated that Yan Zhendong was greatly affected.
"Little brother said it right, weakness is the original sin!"
At this time, a vicissitudes of voice came from behind, and there was a sense of majesty in his tone.
Wu Dong and Yan Zhendong both turned back...
Yan Zhendong's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously stopped in front of Wu Dong, looking warily at the people behind him.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man who was not tall but had a strong appearance, giving people a very strong sense of oppression.
Behind him, followed several well-dressed men with big muscles and round waists, a calm and murderous aura, and military-standard waist knives on their waists.
Their eyes were as sharp as knives, and they had an aggressive air of aloofness all over their bodies. They were definitely not people to be trifled with.
Yan Zhendong traveled far and wide and saw a lot. He felt the threat of the middle-aged guards around him, so he made an instinctive reaction.
soldier?
However, Wu Dong could tell at a glance the identities of those big men in powerful attire and swordsmanship. The chilling aura of the military on their bodies was too obvious.
How could there be elite people with such strong aura in the late Qing Dynasty?
Thinking about the Black Flag Army stationed in Foshan at this time, the origins of these sergeants can be easily revealed. They must be Black Flag Army soldiers who fought hard with the French in Annan and were able to win.
"Your Excellency, are you from the Black Flag Army?"
Reaching out and patting Yan Zhendong's stiff arm, Wu Dong walked around and said directly: "I wonder what these military masters are doing?"
"Haha, little brother, don't be nervous!"
The strong middle-aged man waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just accidentally heard what the little brother said, and I felt something in my heart and echoed it. There is no other meaning!"
As for whether he was a Black Flag Army soldier, he neither admitted nor denied it.
"Just saying it casually!"
Shaking his head, Wu Dong chuckled and said: "Isn't this how the world is? Those who are weak have to be bullied. This is how it should be!"
"Yes, this is what it should be, but many people don't understand it!"
The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly, his tone full of vicissitudes and helplessness.
Only then did Wu Dong realize that the other party was a middle-aged man. He had gray hair on his temples and the braid on the back of his head. He must be quite old.
"My little brother's idea really agrees with mine, why don't we go to Baozhilin together and talk about it!"
Obviously, Wu Dong's words were in line with this guy's feelings. After finishing his sigh, he directly invited Wu Dong.
Going to Baozhilin?
Wu Dong was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement without hesitation.
It would be best if we could get to know Huang Feihong through this.
He arranged temporary accommodation in Baozhilin Street. He originally wanted to meet Huang Feihong, but he did not expect to encounter such a good thing on the first day.
Not only Wu Dong, but also Yan Zhendong, who had been silent and acted as the background of the bodyguard, was a little excited.
Ever since I entered Guangdong Province, I have heard the name Huang Feihong frequently.
Yan Zhendong asked himself that his strength was not bad, but his reputation was far behind Huang Feihong. If there was a chance, he must compare with Huang Feihong.
I just didn't expect that the opportunity would come so suddenly...
Originally on the same street, the two groups soon arrived in front of Bao Zhilin's door.
Before he even knocked on the door, a tall, fat man walked out of the door.
