Liu Miao sat up straight and stretched his waist, but he did not continue to dwell on the issue of power, after all, this thing varies from person to person and is difficult to explain, so he asked instead: "Then I don't know what your old man will do when he returns to Jing'an?"

General Ma also propped up his chair with both hands and moved his body, and said with a straight face: "Fight." ”

Liu Miao couldn't help frowning when he heard this answer, after all, what the old man said now was different from before.

When General Ma saw this, how could he not understand what the young man was thinking? He said indifferently: "The world is in a dilemma, and only some people can choose to abandon their small families in order to achieve everyone and thousands of families. It's just ......," he muttered slightly, "If I can, I will try my best to reduce the number of swords, and do my best to make these people who are willing to give up their small family enjoy the joy of family and the joy of being together." ”

"Fortunately, I have to deal with King Qin, in the early years I used to defend the frontier in his territory, and then I went around and around in many places, and I now wonder if someone did it on purpose. General Ma smiled slightly, "Most of the people in the army are people whose lives are intertwined. Over the years, I have naturally had many brothers who have lived and died together, although some of them are no longer there. But there is still a great deal of authority in the hands of the world. ”

After listening to this, Liu Miao thought about it for a while, and knew that this return to Jing'an Country might set off a bigger storm than expected, "So they hope that they can intercept and kill you on the way, in order to prevent you from returning to Jing'an Kingdom, do something, and say something." The fear is that you are influencing other people, and thus affecting the plans of the various forces that have been prepared for a long time. ”

The old man nodded, and that's about it.

Liu was weak, and after a moment of silence, now that he already knew the answer he wanted, it was enough. To no avail, he got up and took his leave.

General Ma didn't hold back any longer, but saw that the young man was about to walk out of the door, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said loudly: "Boy, young people don't have to be too enthusiastic. ”

Liu Qiao's figure was stunned, did not turn around, and asked in a deep voice: "No blood, are you still young?"

He waved his hand away from the old man and left.

Leaving the old man's room, Liu Qiao still felt a little bored, so he got off the boat and planned to go to the shore for a walk.

It was just as soon as he arrived at the bottom of the ship that he found that in addition to the busy sergeant, there was also a delicate girl who was stopped in the distance and could not get close.

He recognized the girl, and was called Qing'er by Mrs. Yan. After thinking about it, he decided to pretend not to see it, and turned his head to walk in the other direction.

"Liu Gongzi, Liu Gongzi. ”

Qing'er's eyes were sharp, and at a glance she saw the young man walking down from the boat, and kept waving and shouting in order to let the other party see that she was jumping up and down.

But I never thought that the man was pretending to be deaf and dumb when he saw him, treating her as nothing, and turned around and went in another direction. The girl couldn't help but feel even more anxious, but she felt very wronged in her heart, and shouted again with a crying voice: "Liu Gongzi, can you help me!"

When Liu Qiao heard the girl's shout, he felt helpless, but he still stopped under the soft-heartedness, turned around and walked towards her, and couldn't help muttering secretly: "What kind of evil has this been created." ”

He understood that there must be something between General Ma and Mrs. Yan, but who could say anything about the world. This time, someone in Jing'an did use the hand of the White Goose Sect to attack and kill the old man.

And General Ma can be regarded as having considered Mrs. Yan properly, and is willing to take the initiative to enter the set. The world is indeed what the old man said, if there is no support from him and Yuan Baibai, I am afraid that he will still die at this time.

It's just that Mrs. Yan's power is weak, so it is naturally difficult to compete with the forces behind Jing'an Kingdom, and she has to make a choice with the lives of more than 200 people in the sect. The positions of the two are different, and naturally it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.

It can only be said that it is really calculating, detached and detached, but one thing is certain, General Ma must have a deep affection for Mrs. Yan.

Qing'er looked at the young man who slowly came to him, but he looked like a wandering world, a little panicked, and said timidly: "Liu... Liu Gongzi, thank you. ”

Liu Miao came back to his senses and responded: "It's okay." Glancing at the food box in the girl's hand, "For General Ma?"

When Qing'er heard this, she couldn't stop nodding, and her eyes turned red in an instant.

She had been entangled with the sergeant in front of her for a long time, but the sergeant would not give an inch, saying that the general had ordered the idlers not to approach. After many fruitless discussions, he also prayed to the sergeant to pass the food box in his hand on his behalf. But the sergeant also said that the general had ordered that it was forbidden to associate with people outside the ship, let alone receive goods.

She still remembered that when she came, for the first time in so many years, the sect master asked herself in that unquestionable tone: if the food box was not accepted, there was no need to come back.

After all, she is a simple girl, and she naturally feels extremely aggrieved under many factors.

Liu Miao didn't ask any more questions, and stretched out his hand to take the food box.

But the girl seemed to be startled by his movements, and suddenly took a step back, holding the food box in front of her chest with both hands. He looked at the man in front of him nervously, like a frightened rabbit.

Liu Miao shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Girl, aren't you going to give the food box to General Ma?"

Qing'er was dumbfounded, her cheeks flushed, she smiled embarrassedly, put the food box in the man's hand with both hands, and said gratefully: "I'm tired of the son." ”

Liu Wan shook his head, "It's just a gesture, you can go back quickly." ”

Qing'er nodded heavily, and then smiled, "You're really a good person." As if thinking of something, he suddenly felt a little shy, turned around and ran, jumping up and down looking very happy.

Liu Miao stood still, touched his nose, and couldn't help but smile. "It's that simple to be a good person?" he looked at the food box in his hand, then a good person should do it to the end.

...

As if he had expected it, General Ma looked at the young man who had gone and returned, and said with a smile: "You're back?"

As soon as Liu Miao entered the door, he saw that the old man was already sitting at the table waiting, and when he saw him come in, he smiled even more with an expectant look.

After he put the food box in his hand on the table, he looked at the old man's eyes shining, and couldn't wait to take out a plate of exquisite dishes from it, and couldn't help asking, "I really don't see you again?"

General Ma didn't look up, and his hands were busy, but he also responded, "You said goodbye, of course it's gone." ”

Liu Miao pulled out a chair and sat down, his left hand on his cheek, and the fingers of his right hand lightly tapped on the tabletop, a little puzzled, "At such an age, what else can't you let go?"

General Ma finally put the dishes on the table, picked up the chopsticks, and still carefully admired the food on the table, his eyes focused on not allowing anything else, "You said that you are so old." So what's so good about that. ”

Liu Miao frowned, he wanted to say something more, but he gave up because of the old man's actions.

I saw General Ma carefully take a mouthful of steamed fish meat and put it in his mouth, slowly close his eyes, chew it gently, and even drank it: "Fragrant!"

Liu Miao got up silently.

Suddenly, General Ma said, "Boy, wait a minute, you should have the apricot and plum that you will be given when you are there, right? ”

Liu Miao silently picked up the teapot on the table and poured out the tea first, and after pouring the wine, he poured a cup for the old man himself, and then left, just whispered: "Drinking too much hurts your body." ”

General Ma seemed to be still intoxicated by the delicious food, and did not speak again. After confirming that the person was far away, he slowly opened his eyes, and there was a haze in his eyes.

He picked up his glass and drank it down.

The taste is sour and sweet, but it's still more bitter.

......

Following.

Liu Qiao, who was sleeping soundly in the room, was suddenly awakened by several shouts of sergeants, followed by a long horn sound.

When he returned to his room last night, he only felt upset and irritable and couldn't concentrate, so he didn't practice and simply slept for a while.

When Liu Miao came to the deck, he found that in addition to the sergeants who were originally stationed, Yuan Baibai, Ye Daocheng and General Ma were already standing at the bow of the ship, staring ahead.

He didn't come closer, just watched for a while and then returned to the cabin.

At the same time, on Baiyan Island, there were two shadows, one large and one small, watching the big ship move slowly and silently for a long time.

Gradually, the big boat saw that it was about to go out of sight, and the girl couldn't help but wave her hand subconsciously and said goodbye silently.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she hurriedly looked up at the sect master beside her.

Unexpectedly, the sect master looked at him calmly at this moment.

The girl subconsciously shrunk her neck.

The sect master smiled suddenly, reached out and touched the girl's head, and said softly: "Let's go, let's go." She took the girl's hand, and the figure gradually disappeared into the mist.

It's just that Qing'er understands that the sect master's words are not said to herself.

......

The big ship that set sail again, although it has undergone some temporary repairs, will finally find it difficult to have the speed it used to be. It took 20 days to sail to the port of Qingfeng City in Jing'an.

During this period, except for a half-day stay to avoid a strong storm, there were no accidents, and everything was calm.

When Liu Qiao, Yuan Baibai, Ye Daocheng and a few accompanying sergeants followed General Ma to get off the boat and land, they found that there were already many people waiting on the dock.

It was a dozen or so sergeants dressed in different styles of battle armor, surrounded by a large man in black armor and beard, and an elegant middle-aged man dressed as a scribe in a green shirt.

When everyone saw the group led by General Ma coming, they all looked solemn, saluted, and said loudly: "Welcome to the general." ”

General Ma didn't show too much expression, just nodded lightly and said, "It's okay to let everyone else go back." I'm an old bone now, how can I afford to be served so respectfully by all the adults. ”

Everyone didn't dare to get up and no one dared to talk, but their bodies bent lower.

General Ma suddenly became furious, kicked the black-armored man to the ground with one kick, and shouted coldly: "Are you all deaf?

Liu Miao couldn't help but shake his head, wondering if this old man had acted a little too much?

I saw the black-armored man get up from the ground in a panic, but he shouted to the dozen or so sergeants after his death: "Didn't you hear?

Hearing that the black-armored men were scolding like this, everyone only felt as if they had been pardoned, and fled quickly, and they were all gone in a moment. Only the green-shirted scribes and black-armored men remained.

General Ma first nodded lightly to the scribe, then turned his head to look at the black-armored man, and scolded with a smile: "Hu Jun, I said that you are also deaf and can't hear what I am saying?"

I never thought that this Hu Jun's ability to pretend to be stupid was not ordinary, but I saw him look puzzled and said: "Yes, all the adults and the others are gone!" It's just that after a while, he suddenly woke up again, pointed to the local scribe next to him, and explained: "Yu Jing, you know the land, he is not without an official body, he is not an adult, and you don't know that it has something to do with us." ”

Liu Miao looked at this scene, and couldn't help but admire this Master Hu Jun, who had nothing to do with Jun, this nonsense kung fu had reached its peak.
