While Zhang Dingguo and a group of thieves were having dinner, a scout came outside to report: "Second Young Master, Xiao Huang brought a caravan, he was from Dadewang caravan."

"Let's go and have a look!" Zhang Dingguo stood up.

Several people stepped onto a large stone at a height, and saw a caravan of about fifty people walking towards the valley where they were hiding. Zhang Dingguo made a quick decision and ordered: "Come from the old camp and welcome them in."

The old camp soldiers standing at the entrance of the forest stopped the minions leading the way and Zhang Shuheng and others, carefully checked the road guide, waist signs and caravan flags. They then opened the basket on the donkey's back and carefully checked the goods sent by the caravan.

"Please hand over the weapons, everyone." said the old camp soldiers who were on guard.

Zhang Shuheng and his friends handed over the weapons, and at this moment, Zhang Dingguo had already come out with a group of personal soldiers.

"General Zhang, we meet again!" Zhang Shuheng attacked Zhang Dingguo. Before, he met Zhang Dingguo when he followed Wang Quan to Hequ, and the two met him.

Zhang Dingguo smiled and strode forward: "Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, is it you again? Where is the shopkeeper Wang?"

"He is busy with his adoptive father, so I'll send us here today." Zhang Shuheng replied with a bow.

"Haha, what good things did you bring?" Zhang Dingguo looked at the more than 20 donkeys brought by the caravan, bowed his hand and asked with a smile.

“There is food and salt.”

"Quick, please come in." Zhang Dingguo made a gesture of invitation.

After passing through a dense forest, another quiet bamboo forest, he came to the valley where Zhang Dingguo and the others hid. As soon as he walked into the valley, Zhang Shuheng sighed: "What a good place! I didn't expect there was another world here, it was simply a paradise."

Zhang Dingguo smiled and said, "How about the paradise? I dig out taunts every day, and I have no food for a long time, so I feel uncomfortable when I eat it."

"Wenxiu, can be amazing!"

"Here, what are the instructions for the second brother?"

"Take a few people and get some wild game for the guests."

"promise!"

After Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Nengqi took people down, Zhang Dingguo said to Zhang Shuheng: "Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, last time my elder brother refused to listen to the dissuasion and attacked your city, I couldn't persuade him either. I'm really sorry, I'm sorry to you for your elder brother."

"General Xiao Zhang, it's not your fault. His adoptive father and lord both regarded you as our friends. But Zhang Kewang may not understand at the age of young and did not understand. He attacked us, but his losses were greater than us. We had no choice at that time. If he had been defeated, our women, children, old and weak would probably suffer."

"Actually, we didn't lose much, we just lost some refugees. But we didn't expect that Manager Wang and Manager Xiao Zhang would not be bothered and delivered goods to us."

"We are friends and partners. If you have difficulties, it is appropriate to deliver goods to you."

"We are traitors, you are officers and soldiers. It is rare that General Li and Manager Wang can still think of us."

"Our lord often says that you were forced to survive by the court and had to rebel. This crime is not on you, but on those corrupt officials."

"Yes, they forced us to survive. If it weren't for the adoptive father, I would have starved to death." Zhang Dingguo's original name was Li Dingguo. He was born in a poor peasant family in northern Shaanxi. He had natural disasters and man-made disasters. Even the farmers in northwest could not survive. When Li Dingguo was about to starve to death, he was adopted by Zhang Xianzhong as his adopted son and changed to Zhang Dingguo.

Zhang Dingguo took the paper with the information written on it, looked at it for a while, and had already made plans.

After drinking and eating, Zhang Shuheng kept the goods provided to Zhang Dingguo. Although it was difficult to travel on mountain roads and the Dabie Mountains surrounded by Ming troops from all directions, it was impossible to bring too much goods, so there was not much food and salt, but this thing was already a timely help for Zhang Dingguo and others.

"Forty stones of grain, one hundred kilograms of salt, not much, we can't provide more," Zhang Shuheng said.

"This is a timely help. We have been out of food for more than a month. With this grain, we can save some food and solve many problems. For the past month, I have not eaten a grain of rice and I have eaten bitter vegetables every day, and I have been so uncomfortable." Zhang Dingguo said with a smile.
