Chapter Eighty-Four: Fifty Consecutive Victories
It took less than a stick of incense to bring three horses to the gate of the North City. At this time, the city gate had already been closed, and Wei Dong was thinking about getting close to the officers and soldiers guarding the city, but the city gate was opened with a "squeak".
Wei Dong was overjoyed when he saw this, and he didn't ask much at the moment, and rode on his horse and took the lead into the city gate.
"Brother Wei, what a speed!" A figure at the door greeted Wei Dong with a fist.
Walking in to watch, it turned out to be Zhao Shan, "Brother Zhao, it's so late, why are you still here?" Wei Dong also felt that it was too coincidental.
"It was the garrison who ordered me to wait here for your return. Zhao Shan looked at Ma Yunlu and the maid Nishang, "What, Brother Liu......"
"Brother Lao Zhao, let's go to the garrison mansion first, it's not convenient to talk here. Wei Dong said with a sad face.
Only then did Zhao Shan notice that Wei Dong immediately had another person, "This is Brother Liu...... Oh, come with me. ”
After entering the garrison mansion, under the leadership of Zhao Shan, the three of them came to the conference hall again. Wei Dong carried Liu Wu's body and walked at the end, only to hear an angry scolding in the hall: "This group of people is really lawless!"
After Wei Dong entered the house, he gently placed Liu Wu's body on the ground, and clenched his fist at Jiang Tao in the middle, "Thank you, Master Jiang." ”
Ma Yunlu was hugging the maid and comforting softly, but her own tears couldn't help dripping on the hem of her clothes, soaking the hems.
"Alas, it has come to this, let everyone mourn. The most important thing now is to send someone to inform the person in charge of the horse mansion in Wild Sand City. Those people have already lost their hearts, and they need to be notified in advance, and the whole Ma Mansion should be prepared. Jiang Tao thought about it for a while, and said solemnly to Wei Dong and Ma Yunlu.
"Okay, thank you Lord Jiang for reminding me, I'll do it for someone. Ma Yunlu put down the maid's neon dress and said, but in a blink of an eye, he thought that there was only Wei Dong and his maid around him, and there was no one else, and he suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
"Okay, you're welcome, you just need to write a letter by hand, and I'll send someone to deliver it, it's still a little far from Wild Sand City, and if the person who wants to deliver the letter arrives in the afternoon, you need one person and three riders. Jiang Tao continued unceremoniously: "It's just that this employment and the cost of using horses need to be paid by your Ma Fu." ”
"Bring pen and ink and paper," Jiang Tao shouted to his subordinates, "Let's write without further ado." ”
When Ma Yunlu was writing a letter to his family, Wei Dong was also asking Jiang Tao: "Lord Jiang, how did you expect that those people would do something to the Ma Mansion in Crazy Sand City?"
"It stands to reason that if you lose today's martial arts, it doesn't matter if you write this letter or not, but will you lose? When the time comes, people will also be saved by you, and their tournament will also be lost, I am afraid that they will be so anxious that they will jump off the wall!" Jiang Tao is worthy of being an official for many years, and he knows the character of those people quite well.
"Oh", after Wei Dong heard this, he waved at Jiang Tao again, "Lord Jiang, then I have to go back to the other courtyard here and bring those people from the Ma Mansion here, so as not to harm the pond fish." ”
"Okay, let's go quickly, it's going to be dawn later, and the action will be noticed. Jiang Tao said again.
When everything was arranged smoothly and the sky was gradually turning white, Wei Dong jumped a few times, came to the previous inn again, jumped into the upper room, gently pushed open the window of his room, turned over and jumped in.
The next thing was that Wei Dong pretended to be exhausted and went to the martial arts arena, then burned the rhino to death, and killed all the black-clothed thieves in the courtyard at night. In the morning, I met the second daughter at the gate of the garrison mansion.
After a busy day and two nights, although Wei Dong's feeling was okay, under the repeated persuasion of everyone, he could only obediently go into the house and sleep.
This sleep is a whole day, in the evening, Wei Dong got up, came to the hall, and saw Ma Yunlu and the maid Nishang and some officers and soldiers of the garrison were guarding Liu Wu's spirit, so he also stepped forward to put on a stick of incense and muttered a prayer.
During dinner, Wei Dong asked Jiang Tao who opened the gambling game in the two cities of Wild Sand and Wind, and who was the real owner behind this scene?
Jiang Tao showed a depressed face, "Brother Wei, don't ask now, when you win the remaining three martial arts battles tomorrow and enter Beijing in the future, I will solve your doubts." ”
When Wei Dong heard this, he was silent for a while, and then stopped speaking. After dinner, I went to the Jiangfu hall to help keep the spirit. Thinking of Liu Wu's usual benefits, Wei Dong couldn't help but sigh, and secretly made up his mind in his heart to continue to compare, "If you have the chance, you will meet the master behind the scenes." ’
"What? This is a decision made by the adults, so what should we do?" a scrivener was in the study of a compound somewhere in Tempest, where a scrivener asked.
"What should I do? My lord said that as long as the amount handed over this year remains the same, we will be fine, but if we pay one or two less, he will ask us. A middle-aged man who looked like a big man sat on the Taishi chair and said slowly.
"But we've lost so much! How can we close this loophole?" the clerk was still chattering there.
"There is still more than half of this year, what are you in a hurry? It's really not good, use your own net worth to make up for it. All these years have passed, you are all fat and leaking, do you think adults will not know?" the big guy angrily scolded the bookstore.
"Then that's it, it's really cheap Wei Dong and Ma Fu. ”
"When they enter Beijing, there will be adults to take care of them, so let's take care of our own affairs. "The voice is getting softer," alas. In the end, both of them sighed helplessly.
In the remaining three fights, Wei Dong took it very easily, and did not encounter any accidents.
Jiang Tao's idea was to immediately order five hundred troops and personally send Wei Dong into Beijing that night, but under the persuasion of both Ma Yunlu and Wei Dong, he finally set off tomorrow morning, first to Crazy Sand City, and then to enter the capital. The guards who came with Ma Yunlu left first at night.
There was nothing to do all the way, the Jiang brothers and Wei Dong rode horses to take the lead, Ma Yunlu and the maid Nishang rode in a carriage, and after the five hundred cavalry palaces, at night, before the city gate was closed, everyone rushed into the city. The five hundred cavalry camped outside the city.
A team of people came to the gate of the Ma Mansion, and the soldiers guarding the city had already come to report that Master Ma and the garrison of Wild Sand City were standing at the gate waiting to greet them.
"Lord Jiang. ”
"Ah, it's Lord Han. ”
The two guards knew each other and were polite first. Then they held hands and walked into the horse house with a smile.
When I entered the Ma Mansion, I saw that the house was in a mess, many tall plants seemed to be interrupted by artificial stops, many places where flowers and plants were originally planted were empty, as if they had been cleaned by the subordinates, and what was more prominent was that several houses had collapsed, and there was a faint smell of burning floating in the air.
"Dad, these people ......" Ma Yunlu looked at it, and An Nai couldn't help asking.
"Let's talk about it when we come inside. Master Ma replied calmly, and then turned his face and beckoned the two guards.
Everyone came to the hall, and several soldiers behind them carried in the coffin containing Liu Wu's body.
"Little Wuzi ......" Steward Liu followed behind, and couldn't help crying softly.
With the call of "Little Five Sons", Ma Yunlu's eyes were also rosy, and the maid Nishang cried bitterly. The whole hall was immersed in grief.
After a while, Master Ma sighed "sighing" and turned around to comfort Steward Liu. Then he looked at Wei Dong and said, "Master Wei, do you still want to enter Beijing and participate in the subsequent martial arts?"
Everyone in the hall looked at Wei Dong, as if waiting for his answer. Wei Dong looked at Liu Wu's coffin and said softly: "I'll go, I must go, I must give an explanation to the five Liu brothers." ”
"Okay, I am here to announce that our Ma family now fully supports your decision. Master Ma turned to everyone and said loudly: "Gongzi Wei is a personal disciple of the barbarian 'Giant Spirit Sect', and he is also the county concubine of the 'Giant Spirit Sect'. As the ruler of the Wild Sand City Horse Mansion, I declare that our Horse Mansion will always follow Wei Gongzi. ”
"What??'s concubine of the Barbarian 'Giant Spirit Sect'?or a disciple?" the two garrison adults looked at each other in surprise.
Jiang Tao reacted a little faster, "Brother Wei, you are really not an ordinary person, my vision is good!"
"Yes, the 'Giant Spirit Sect' is an existence like the Emperor in the Barbarian Country, why did you come to our Qiang Kingdom?" Han Shoubei also asked.
"Well, it's a long story, so I'll tell you a little bit about it. Wei Dong briefly recounted the whole incident and what should be said.
After finishing speaking, Ma Yunlu's eyes lit up, and everyone in the hall was also embarrassed.
In the end, Master Ma bent down at everyone, "Lord Han and I are life and death, Lord Jiang looks at the prince differently, and the rest are my Ma Mansion's henchmen, what I said here today, I hope everyone will not spread it." ”
Except for the Jiang brothers, the rest of the people present stood up and saluted. Master Ma walked up to the Jiang brothers and said: "Lord Jiang, I know your concerns, you are different from Lord Han, your identity is special, you are also the imperial prince, and you are the henchman of the current saint, but you have also seen the current situation in the Qiang State - it is a pattern where the master is weak and the servant is big, and the tail is big." ”
Seeing this, Jiang Qing suddenly got up, as if he wanted to say something, but was pressed down by Jiang Tao with one hand, "What kind of prince are we, just bring some favor, the current situation is beyond our brother's control, as long as Brother Wei has no ill intentions towards the Qiang State, I still want to be friends with him." ”
"Brother Xie Jiang's kindness, Brother Jiang's righteousness is thin and cloudy, and I also yearn for it. I came to the Qiang Kingdom because I was forced to do so, but I didn't have the slightest bad intentions about the current saint and the state affairs of the Qiang State, so please rest assured Brother Jiang. I'm only thinking about the 50 consecutive wins since I entered Beijing. Wei Dong said his thoughts very sincerely to the Jiang brothers.
"Yes, enter Beijing and get Yum. Raise the power of Sand City for me. Hehe. Han Shoubei raised his hands and cheered for Wei Dong.
"Yes, yes, enter Beijing, we will also enter Beijing to cheer for Wei Gongzi!"
