141. One Forty One
Chapter 141
When Yusheng first heard the news, he thought he had heard it wrong, but the person who reported the news was Zhu Chongba's sworn brother and his lieutenant, so there was no possibility of joking about it.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhu Chongba's preservation zài is too important for Yusheng to withstand a little omission.
The deputy general of "General Hui......" is also a wolf, and his eyes are red, and he has obviously decided that Zhu Chong's eight murderers are more auspicious.
This matter also started when Yusheng came back from Wudang.
Because Yusheng is not in the base camp, Zhu Chongba's speed of external expansion is very steady, and when Yusheng comes back, Zhu Chongba's heart is more confident, and the expansion speed is a little radical with strong soldiers and horses. However, just like always walking at night and encountering ghosts, Yuan Ting naturally can't allow him to go on like this. When the two armies encountered again, the Yuan army specially prepared to get rid of Zhu Chongba's masters of the rivers and lakes dispatched.
has a mental calculation or not, even if Zhu Chongba has something on his body that Yusheng gave him to defend himself, he only barely has the strength to struggle, and finally was knocked down the river by a punch, tossed twice, and there was no trace again.
The main general's life and death are unknown, and the deputy general endures his grief and wants to turn the tide, but his ability is limited, and he is beaten all over the place, and only brings back a small group of people. After coming back, I didn't do anything else first, so I asked Yusheng to ask for sin.
Yusheng had a cursory understanding of what happened, and then asked, "Do you know who the person who shot against Chonghachi is?" ”
The adjutant shook his head, "I just see them coming and going, and no one can stop them." I reported my home and said that it was from the Ruyang Palace, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"The Yuan soldiers you are up against, if I remember correctly, should be under the command of King Ruyang." Yusheng said, "I just don't know who gave him the idea of capturing the king." ”
The adjutant general can't take care of so much at the moment, "General, I don't know what happened to General Zhu......"
Yusheng had already calmed down, "There is no aftermath." ”
The adjutant looked at Yusheng in disbelief.
Yusheng's face was determined, "This time, he will definitely not die in a catastrophe, and he will turn evil into good fortune." ”
I have to say that the members of the White Lotus Sect who joined later are all good at propaganda, they abandoned their White Lotus Sect, but promoted Yusheng as a person who was ordered by the sky, and with the previous blessing of the Dragon Slayer Knife, many people still believe his words.
The adjutant general breathed a sigh of relief, rolled his eyes, and fainted directly.
Yusheng hurriedly helped him up, took the opportunity to check his pulse, and found that he was only relieved by overwork, and then asked someone to send him back to settle down.
"Is Jupachi really okay?" When everyone retreated, Hua Manlou asked.
"Don't worry." Yusheng can only say this, but no more evidence can be given. It's just that he felt in his heart that Zhu Chongba took the initiative to tell him that if he wanted to change his surname, he would cause a sunny day and a thunderstorm, and losing his life was much more than changing his surname Yan zhòng, and God would not ignore it, and maybe he would give him a chance or two.
Compared with himself, in a sense, Zhu Chongba is the real son of luck.
And things are just as Yusheng thought.
When Zhu Chongba was picked up again, he hit the pear blossom nail that Yusheng sent him to defend himself, and the person who wanted to take his life didn't notice the trick for a while, and with a shake of his hand, he directly punched him and threw it into the river. Zhu Chongba's water performance is not bad, but his chest and abdomen were beaten, and he couldn't exert his strength for a while, so he could only drift with the tide in the water, and gradually lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, I found myself lying in a dilapidated wood hut.
Zhu Chongba breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was alive, he would say anything.
He was about to get up and get down to see where this was, but the sharp pain in his chest caught him off guard, and he lay down again. After this pass, I sweated a lot again. He gasped for breath, finally knowing that he was not lightly injured.
Maybe it was because he was tossing a little louder, maybe someone was already watching the sound in the room, and the next moment, a little girl walked in through the door.
"Was your family the one who saved me?" Zhu Chongba looked at the girl and had some doubts in his heart. The girl's clothes are very simple, but they are still much better than this wood house, and they don't look like people from this family.
"It was my sister who fished you out of the river." The girl looked at her with some curiosity, which was not rude, but made people feel cute.
"I don't know where Sister Ling is, Zhu wants to thank me personally." Zhu Chongba already felt that the armor he was wearing had been taken off, and the person who saved him must have guessed his identity, and now that he is doing well, it proves that the person has no ill will towards him.
"Wait, I'll call my sister." The girl generously agreed.
Not long after, a tall woman came in from outside, saw Zhu Chongba, and greeted generously, "You're awake." ”
"Girl's great grace......" Zhu Chongba felt that it was really unreasonable for him to lie in front of a girl like this, so he relieved his breath and wanted to try to sit up again.
"Hey, don't move!" The girl hurriedly stopped her, "Your ribs are broken, I finally picked them up for you, don't move!" ”
Zhu Chongba is as good as a stream, "I don't know the girl's surname?" Where is this place? ”
"My surname is Ma, this is Shanshui Village, and I am also passing by temporarily, not from here." Miss Ma looked at Zhu Chongba, and finally couldn't help but ask first, "Are you the general Zhu in the Jade Family's army?" ”
Zhu Chongba's heart froze, and his face was silent, "How can you see it?" ”
"It was spread all over the outside, and the team led by General Zhu was defeated, and even General Zhu himself was knocked into the river and his life and death are unknown." Miss Ma looked at Zhu Chongba's frowning brows, and then suddenly realized, "Don't worry, I'm from the Tartar side." I don't know if you've heard of the Red Turban Army? ”
"General Guo of the Red Turban Army?" Zhu Chongba hesitated.
"That's my father-in-law!" Miss Ma said crisply.
Half a month later, Yusheng received a letter from the Red Turban Army.
Originally, he wondered why Guo Zixing, who had never crossed paths, suddenly wrote a letter to himself, and when he opened it to take a look, he found that it said that his righteous daughter Ma was inadvertently picking up a person in the river when she was on patrol, and after being rescued, the person woke up and talked with each other, only to know that it was the vanguard general of the Yujia Army. chattered a lot like this, and said that he had admired his character for a long time, and he was afraid that he would not get the news here, so he immediately sent someone to send him a letter.
"The surname is Ma." Yusheng pinched the letter and felt that she might have to do a happy event recently.
When Yusheng read the letter, Hua Manlou was asking the sender how the journey was, and then he knew that it was not easy to travel all the way. First of all, he had to avoid the Yuan soldiers, and he had to be careful of the refugees, and it would not be smooth after he arrived at Yusheng's territory, because Guo Zixing specially explained before he came that this matter was very important, so he could only tell Yusheng in person, so as not to leak the news on the way and cause a big disaster.
Without much thought, Yusheng knew what the so-called catastrophe was.
During this time, the Yuan Court publicized Zhu Chongba's defeat, and the Yuan soldiers in it were naturally brave and good at fighting like divine help, and as the opposite of being compared, Zhu Chongba's defeat ruined the undefeated name accumulated before to Yuan Ting's vigorous publicity.
When Yusheng heard the rumors, a few people with bad tempers became angry on the spot. They thought that the soldiers and horses on their side were not inferior to the Yuan army, and if they hadn't cheated, the outcome would not have been known. It's just that in the eyes of sane people, it's just a strategy. The more they belittle, the more they value it; The more ruthless they say, the more they prove how badly they were beaten in the first place.
"They can only pay lip service." At that time, Yusheng appeased his subordinates like this, "No matter how penniless they say Chongba, Chongba's record is not fake, which can only mean that the Yuan soldiers who were defeated by him before are not even penniless." ”
Guo Zixing is obviously also the one who sees through this, he has only been in trouble for a short time, and he only has one city under his command, if Yuan Bing knows that Zhu Chongba is determined to fight hard in his place, he is likely to become a lonely city there. Even if Yusheng wouldn't stand idly by for Zhu Chongba's sake, he didn't want to take this risk.
"Guo Zixing is courting goodwill." After arranging for the messenger to go down and rest, Hua Manlou read the letter from the beginning, and finally came to a conclusion.
"Now the situation is that the enemy of the enemy is the friend." Yusheng spread out the map on the table, "It's better to be able to unite than to fight alone." ”
Yusheng did guess Guo Zixing's thoughts.
In this world, those who dare to rise up are a little restless in their bones. Guo Zixing is one of them, since he was a child, someone has given him orders to say that he was born extraordinary, plus the family is rich, it is easy to gather people's hearts. When he learned that the situation outside had changed dramatically, he also recruited 5,000 people, including another small force that remained after the collapse of the White Lotus Sect, directly captured a city, and declared the Red Turban Army to the outside world, with the intention of opposing the Yuan.
But the rebel leader is not easy to do, being a leader and being a brother are two different things, Guo Zixing did not handle these relationships well, although he took a city, but the internal gangs and factions gave him a kind of panic of being hollowed out. At this time, the news of Zhu Chongba's defeat and unknown life and death came, Guo Zixing knew a little more, he knew that Zhu Chongba was not defeated because he couldn't do it, but it was really the Yuan army that sent a martial arts master to directly kidnap him.
Guo Zixing hasn't learned anything else these days, but he always spares his life. First of all, I thought that everyone was not in harmony with each other, and then I thought about how high you can be, annoying Yuan Ting and directly sending those flying masters to assassinate, how many can escape? was discouraged, so he received a letter from the righteous daughter, saying that she had picked up Zhu Chongba.
The grace of saving lives is to be promised by oneself, although the position of men and women seems to be a little wrong at the moment, but the truth has not changed.
It was a matter of the future, and the suspicious Guo Zixing did not discuss this matter with his subordinates, and only used the excuse of his children's relatives to talk to his wife. His wife Zhang doesn't understand outside things, but she knows that the woman can't be too active when talking about marriage, otherwise she will be easily looked down upon. Guo Zixing felt that it made sense, and wrote a letter, thinking and considering, without mentioning family matters at all, only saying that Ma saved Zhu Chongba and was considerate and comforting him.
Ma Xiuying didn't know that her father-in-law wanted to make friends through her marriage, just because she admired a victorious general like Zhu Chongba in her heart and cared about him very much.
Zhu Chongba accepted it with peace of mind, thinking that the lord was really clever, and said early that his daughter-in-law should be surnamed Ma.
Such a good woman, shouldn't she be his daughter-in-law?
