Chapter 359 Wu Donglai

When they saw the people Qi Gui had brought, Luo Tianbao and others were immediately overjoyed. It turned out that the leader was a strong man, Xiong Ba, a descendant of the Xiong family in Beidi. Although he had promised to fight against the rebels, he couldn't say that.

They went back to their hometown to deal with some matters first. They had been away for more than half a year. Luo Tianbao and others had almost forgotten about this matter. They didn't expect that he would actually show up here today.

"Brother Xiong, why have you been gone for so long? We were all worried that something might happen to you." When Luo Tianbao saw Xiong Ba, he hurriedly greeted him.

Xiong Ba heard this and immediately smiled and said: "Young Marshal Lao is thinking about me. In fact, my journey has been quite smooth. The main reason is that before I came back, I invited a few acquaintances to join me to help the rebel army, so I wasted time. Listen,

Said that the young marshal has met the emperor and been conferred a title by the imperial court?"

"There is such a thing, but it is just a state governor, not worth mentioning."

"Oh, Marshal, what you say is too modest. How many people have struggled in the officialdom for decades and may not be able to reach this position? What's more, you are still so young and have a bright future. In this way, we will follow you and your son in the future.

There’s more hope for effectiveness, right?”

At this time, Dong Yan, the Shu sisters and others also came closer. They all knew Xiong Ba, so naturally they couldn't help but exchange some pleasantries. After the politeness was almost over, Dong Yan noticed the people behind Xiong Ba and asked immediately: "

Old Xiong, who are these people?"

"Oh, you see, I was here to chat and forgot to introduce you. I will introduce you to you." He first pointed to a middle-aged man in his thirties beside him.

"This person's surname is Jie. He has the Chinese character "jin" in his name. He is a famous veterinarian in the North. He is especially good at treating horses. We all call him "the horse savior" here. I think there are many big animals such as cattle and horses in the rebel army nowadays.

, we should need such a person, so I invited him here."

Luo Tianbao and others suddenly realized after hearing this. Not to mention the tens of thousands of large animals in the rebel army, there is really a lack of good veterinarians. Xiong Ba has thought about this matter quite thoughtfully. At that moment, Luo Tianbao and others asked Xie

Jin expressed his welcome, and the latter's attitude was quite humble and polite. It should be said that the first impression the other party gave to Luo Tianbao and others was quite good.

Then Xiong Ba attracted two young men in their twenties. They were both quite strong and they looked like they were doing manual labor. After Xiong Ba introduced them, everyone knew that these were his two cousins. One was named Xiong Ba.

Wei, one is named Xiong Meng. Not to mention, the names of the children of the Xiong family in the North are quite domineering. It is said that their craftsmanship is outstanding among the younger generation of the Xiong family, and they will not be reconciled to it for a lifetime.

He was working as a craftsman in the north, so he came here with Xiong Ba to fight against the rebels. He needed to do some work. Luo Tianbao had learned Xiong Ba's craftsmanship, and the people he brought with him were definitely good at this aspect, so they were also quite popular.

Welcome, but the two brothers have obviously never seen much of the world. When they meet a person of Luo Tianbao's status, they are obviously a little shy and don't talk much. They are very happy. When Luo Tianbao saw this, he immediately remembered himself when he first started to work as a escort.

, many people may have to go through such a process.

Comparatively speaking, what attracted Luo Tianbao's attention the most were the three people standing in the corner. They were an old man and a young man. The old man looked to be in his fifties or sixties. This man was not tall to begin with.

I'm a bit hunched over as I get older, and as a result, I look extra short when I stand there. I feel like a child. There are some wrinkles on my face, and my lips look a little shriveled, but my eyes are big. At first glance, they look like goldfish. Most of the time, he looks like a goldfish.

His eyes were half-open and half-closed, giving the impression that he was about to doze off, but as long as someone looked at him, the old man would immediately look back. At that time, his eyes would become bright and sharp, as if he had discovered food.

A fierce beast. From the color of its facial features and pupils, we can tell that he is not from the mainland, but it is difficult to determine which race he belongs to.

Behind him were two young men, a man and a woman. The man was young and looked to be in his early twenties at most. His facial features were not ugly, and he even looked handsome from certain angles, but his skin was frighteningly white.

, there is no blood at all. If his eyes were not moving, you would even doubt whether this is a gangster. Although he is not old, he has a head of white hair and a pair of pupils that are pink. The whole person looks...

It gives people a particularly illusory feeling.

Luo Tianbao initially thought that the other person looked like this just because he was a foreigner, but then the more he looked at him, the more he felt that his appearance was unnatural. Then he suddenly remembered that his father had mentioned before that there is a kind of person in the world who is born with pale skin and even his hair is white.

Yes, this kind of people are afraid of the sun, are weak, and most of them have a short life span. As for its principle, the world has never quite understood it. It seems to be related to congenital deficiencies. Now it seems that the person in front of me is probably suffering from this disease.

In comparison, the young woman standing next to him was much stronger. She had red hair, wheat-colored skin, and seemed to always have a smile on her lips. She looked particularly energetic.

At this time, Xiong Ba also noticed that Luo Tianbao was paying attention to these three people, and hurriedly introduced them: "Young Marshal, I finally invited these three people this time. This person's surname is Wu, and his father is from the east.

He is from the inland Qiaozhou. He went to the Western Regions in his early years to make a living, and later got married there. The old man's mother was from Das, so he is of mixed race. The old man grew up in the Western Regions and learned a craft. He is a famous craftsman there.

However, he has never forgotten his father's long-cherished wish to return to his hometown, so after he became famous a few years ago, he and his family wanted to move back to the inland. Unexpectedly, Ning Zeen's rebellion happened to catch up, and the inland was reduced to a pot of porridge, so they had no choice but to live there.

In Jinzhou, the old man is very knowledgeable about all kinds of civil engineering matters, and is especially good at making various siege equipment. I think this will be of great use to us in defeating the rebels."

Hearing Xiong Ba's introduction, Luo Tianbao and others were secretly surprised. You must know that the Western Region has always been famous for its skilled craftsmen. If this old Mr. Wu can succeed and become famous locally as Xiong Ba said, it is definitely not possible.

Of course, for ordinary people, such a person is welcome to rebel against the rebels. Thinking of this, Luo Tianbao immediately stepped forward and saluted: "It turns out to be Mr. Wu. You have come from afar. We really welcome you."

Ordinarily Luo Tianbao behaved very politely, and as a young commander, it would be too late for most people to curry favor at this time, but Wu Donglai just looked at Luo Tianbao up and down with goldfish eyes, and said coldly: "You are the one who wants to defeat the rebels."

Marshal Lin Siyi?"

Because the story of asking the rebels to surrender to the imperial court has now spread throughout the country, people who are not involved in the political arena generally only know Lin Siyi and not Luo Tianbao. Although the latter felt that the other party's attitude was a bit harsh, he still replied: "

Exactly."

Wu Donglai nodded: "You are young, and you don't look very impressive."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed. Wu Donglai's words were obviously contemptuous. You must know that Luo Tianbao is now the governor of a state, and can command tens of thousands of troops, including princes, generals, and many influential figures.
