Chapter 44 Happy cooperation

There is still a fragment that has not been collected.

Yan Xi had woken up and was determined to leave the Shaolin Temple. She could no longer stay in this sad place. Shen Haofeng had no choice but to take her away first. With the last piece left, he could only find an opportunity to try his luck again.

"Where to go?"

Yan Xi, who looked pale, shook her head.

It’s not that she didn’t know where to go, it was that she had no place to go. She was a woman and followed her husband to Dengfeng. Her daughter died, and she was killed by her husband.

Yan Xi was on the verge of collapse.

Just like when they arrived, Shen Haofeng, who was riding a horse together, said, "If you need a rest, I can lend you my shoulder."

Seeing that she didn't respond, Shen Haofeng held her gently with one hand, held the reins with the other, clamped hard on the horse's belly, and urged the horse to move quickly.

After the horse started running, Shen Haofeng said in her ear: "I know you have nowhere to go, so stay with me and be a maid, as a way of repaying me for saving your life."

Yan Xi: "..."

He started, and Yan Xi even thought about how she could refuse if he asked her to commit herself. But she didn't expect that she would be a maid?

But the war was in chaos, and she really had nowhere to go.

By Hou Jie's side, she stayed away from the sun and went outside. With her own abilities, she didn't even know if she could get a full meal.

The maid is available, but the house is not yet available.

Taking Yan Xi back to where Jing Ke currently lives, Shen Haofeng originally wanted to find time to buy a house, but he heard that there were soldiers guarding the door. He trotted into the yard and shouted loudly: "Commander, there are foreigners looking for you. I have something important to discuss with you."

Foreigner?

Is it coming so soon?

"Let them wait outside, I'll go out right away." Shen Haofeng, who didn't plan to see them in the courtyard, said calmly as he walked out of the house.

As Shen Haofeng expected, it was Peter who came.

In the movie, he was the foreigner who approached Hou Jie to build the railway, but was rejected.

The purpose of the foreigners is not just to build a railway, but also to dig out the treasures under the Mang Mountain under the guise of building a railway.

"Shuai Shen."

Peter, who was waiting outside, greeted the young and handsome Shen Haofeng with a weird accent.

He did not come alone, but also brought a deputy and a small team of troops.

Among those people also pushed a small cart, the things on it were covered with white cloth. Others might not know what was under the cloth, but Shen Haofeng knew it very well.

That's a fully automatic machine gun.

This was the condition Peter prepared to use to offer Shen Haofeng to help him build the railway. He provided the gun for free in exchange for Shen Haofeng to help him build the railway.

There was no introduction to Peter's identity in the movie, but when Shen Haofeng saw the embroidery on his chest, he turned out to be British.

"Commander, this is Colonel Peter." After Peter spoke, the soldiers standing aside immediately whispered in Shen Haofeng's ear.

He didn't even know if the military rank reported by his subordinates was correct, but it didn't matter. Shen Haofeng looked at Peter and said, "Mr. Peter, why do you want to see me?"

military camp.

Peter did not rush to explain his purpose, but ordered someone to remove the white cloth covering the gun and asked Shen Haofeng to let others test the gun first.

Then try it.

Shen Haofeng casually pointed to Chief Lu and asked him to go over and shoot.

A machine gun is equipped with a gun frame or gun seat, which can achieve rapid shooting, but it does not necessarily mean that it is better than a rifle, because there is recoil when shooting. If you keep pressing the trigger, the shooting will be more accurate. The speed will be very poor, it would be better to shoot one round at a time.

No, Wang Luchang didn't know how many bullets he shot, but he also beat the target into a sieve.

"Commander, this is the gun." Wang Luchang gave a thumbs up.

Shen Haofeng smiled and said to Peter, who looked confident: "Mr. Peter, please give me a price. I want as many guns as you have."

Knowing that what Peter wanted was not money, Shen Haofeng said jokingly.

"No money is required, as long as Marshal Shen agrees to support us in building a railway at Dengfeng." Peter finally stated his purpose.

His words made everyone on the shooting range stunned.

Shen Haofeng, who had been prepared for a long time, was confused: "Mr. Peter, Dengfeng City does not belong to me alone. Even if I want to support you, I am powerless."

Peter said: "Marshal Shen, there is an old Chinese saying that friends are mutual. You support us in building the railway, and we support you in controlling the summit."

Shen Haofeng looked at the guns Peter brought with covetousness, raised three fingers and said: "Two thousand fast guns, five hundred machine guns, and one hundred cannons, I will give you a smooth railway."

When it comes to building a railway, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be completed, and once it is completed, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be safe, and if it is safe, it doesn't necessarily mean that it won't break down. It's not a big problem.

What's more, when Shen Haofeng takes control of the summit, they will have to stay alive.

Their future had been planned for them by Shen Haofeng. He brought a cart of fake antiques and boarded the train happily. As a result, all the people in Dengfeng were able to enjoy a "prosperous" fireworks.

But the people are watching from the ground, and they are flying in the sky.

Upon hearing the figures reported by Shen Haofeng, Peter suddenly said excitedly: "Marshal Shen, this is impossible. We can give you at most 500 guns, 80 machine guns, and 10 artillery pieces."

"Deal." Shen Haofeng readily agreed and said, "I also want a big house in the east of the city."

Deal done?

But Peter is not happy at all. He feels like buying something in a wholesale market. The boss offers three hundred and then pays back thirty. In the end, the boss agrees without hesitation. Who can be happy?

After all, in the movie, he only gave Cao Man eighty machine guns, and Cao Man supported him. This is also thanks to Hou Jie who rejected him first, so that he did not want to lose Shen Haofeng's support again.

and…

What also makes Peter depressed is that a dignified warlord commander asked a foreigner for a house in his own territory?

"Mansion?" Peter frowned, thinking he heard wrongly.

Shen Haofeng said: "Why, don't you have any? Then I will change the conditions."

Afraid that he would make some tricky conditions again, Peter quickly said: "No problem, Marshal Shen, we happen to have a house in the east of the city and can give it to you."

Shen Haofeng stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Peter, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

"Happy cooperation, Marshal Shen."

The two hands were held together tightly.

In order to avoid long nights and nightmares, Shen Haofeng immediately had people post notices calling for workers to come to the railway, and sent a team of people back with Peter's deputy to get guns.

It didn't work quickly. When Cao Man freed his hand, he was also thinking about the gun in Peter's hand.
