Chapter 15 Preparing for War
When it comes to the life of the woman he likes, Li Weizhen categorically didn't dare to have the slightest child's play, and the original chagrin was unwilling, which would be replaced by nervousness and worry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Just looked at his serious face and discussed with Ma Long, "Ma team rate, I am a messenger sent by the saint, and I went to Gutian City to pass the holy decree to the Marquis of Xuanping, because I want to catch up with the Hou Ye quickly, so that I can leave the team and take the first step, in fact, not far behind us, there are hundreds of soldiers who came with me." ”
"Horse team rate, no matter whether the enemy attack is true or not, we can't wait to ignore it, just in case, let's quickly send someone to ask for help."
Ma Long was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled Li Weizhen to ask where the army was now, but unfortunately Li Weizhen, an outsider, was not familiar with the West, so the more he talked about it, the more confused he became.
Xiao Wenshi, who was in charge of the armory next to him, couldn't look past it, so he cleared his throat and reminded, "Team rate, isn't there a sub-map hanging in our hall?" ”
"Master Li can't tell, but you can always point it out, right?"
As soon as they heard this, Ma Long and Li Weizhen's eyes lit up, and they almost trotted all the way to the hall, and in a few clicks, they made the place of the large army behind them clear.
Ma Long looked at it, okay, it was still closer than the nearest county office, and immediately asked Li Weizhen to take out the official seal and voucher, and once again confirmed the identity of the other party, and then without saying a word, let Li Weizhen send someone out to ask for help.
He didn't have enough tea here, so he sent out two groups of people to ask for help, if you add Mu Jiu, who left first, it would be three groups of people, if there was really an enemy for a while, they only needed to support one of the people.
Thinking of this, Ma Long's heart was a little lighter, and he even became excited and enthusiastic because of the long-lost battle.
Ma Long commanded people to close the gate, watched the soldiers carry out the final reinforcement, and listened to Mu Qi's questioning voice not far away, he was shocked, and gave himself a slap in the head with his backhand, "Hey, hey, my God!" Why did I forget Miss Lan Wu? ”
"This is the wife of our family who has not passed the door, if there is a good one on my territory, I have ten lives, and he will not be enough to compensate!"
Ma Long screamed bitterly, and hurriedly ran to Mu Qi's side, shouting as he ran, "Xiao Qi, you quickly escort Miss Lan Wu away, it's ...... outside"
Before Ma Long's words were finished, he heard someone shouting on the protective wall, "Team rate, team rate, hurry up and see, it's really an enemy attack, it's really an enemy attack!" ”
"We can all see torches in the distance, about a thousand people!"
Ma Long immediately gasped, oh my God, the total number of people in the entire outpost is less than two hundred, and there are thousands of enemies outside, this is a tough battle!
It seems that this gang of thieves outside has already planned it, and it is the idea of fighting quickly and running away after grabbing!
I really don't know what is in my little outpost that is being remembered by others?
"His grandmother's, I don't know if it's the horse thief bandit who was stabbed by a thousand knives, or the damn Rongdi dog thief?" There are still a lot of things that Ma Long doesn't understand, but he is a rough man who can't read a few big words, and if he can't figure it out, he just won't think about it.
Just do it by instinct!
Thinking like this, Ma Long suddenly felt his blood rush to his head, and this veteran was not only not afraid, but also excited!
Seeing him wipe his sleeves, he beckoned: "Xiao Qi, you go and settle Miss Lan first, it's too late to leave now, let's do it with these dog thieves!" ”
After speaking, he turned his face and greeted Li Weizhen, "Lord Li, are you going back to your room to rest?" Or come up with me and have a look? ”
This latter sentence seems to be discussing with Li Weizhen, but in fact, it has his own plans.
After all, this person can come in handy when fighting, Malone is not stupid, he knows that one more person can hold out for a while, and the possibility of keeping the post is greater.
He had already calculated in his heart, if Li Weizhen was timid and afraid of things and chose to go back to the house to hide, then he would take advantage of the situation to ask for the command of these dozens of men, if Li Weizhen chose to follow him up to the parapet, it would be even better, the masters all went up, how could the guards not follow?
Anyway, no matter what, Ma Long, the people around Li Weizhen, are going to be decided!
Even if he was a little cautious, wasn't he trying to protect the outpost and protect these lives?
In this way, the only trace of embarrassment in Ma Long's heart also disappeared with the wind, and looking at Li Weizhen's eyes, there was only unshakable firmness.
There is still some distance between Li Weizhen and him, the lights are dim, and he can't see Ma Long's expression change clearly, he is bent on protecting the beauty, and where will he sing against Ma Long at this moment?
He immediately nodded, turned around and ordered neatly, "Tell our people to bring their own weapons, whether they have bows and arrows or lack anything, hurry up to the treasury to collect them, and after the rectification is completed, come to the parapet to find the horse team leader to report, from now on, all of you are under the control of the horse team leader." ”
"Guarding the outpost is the first priority!"
When Ma Long heard Li Weizhen's words, his clenched hands loosened, and he couldn't help but take a deep look at this noble son from the capital, only to see that under the reflection of the torches, the handsome face of this young official seemed to be coated with a layer of warm red light, which looked more angry, less indifferent, gentle and elegant, and it was annoying.
"Master Li, let your people come up directly, the wind is strong on the parapet, you are unwell, you don't have to come up." Ma Long was very relieved that Li Weizhen could make a wise decision, and even spoke in a much kinder tone, and tactfully considerate of this sick Qincha.
Ma Long's attitude has taken such a big turn, in fact, it's really not strange, think about it, if Li Weizhen is a dumbfounded person with a clear brain, as soon as his blood is hot, he will compete with Ma Long for the leadership of the outpost, then it will be a complete bad dish!
Don't forget, people are poor, and the officials and universities are all crushed to death, this official rank is a few streets bigger than Ma Long, and Ma Long obviously can't fight.
It is good that Li Weizhen can take the initiative to retreat, no matter what, at least there is only one commander, people on both sides, there is no split, although there are not many people, at least one heart, it is really a great luck in misfortune!
Listening to Ma Long's words, Li Weizhen did not retreat to the back room, but smiled faintly, stroked the sword hanging from his waist, took a step, and followed Ma Long to the high parapet wall.
"Anyway, I also learned martial arts in the academy, and my husband should do something in the world!" How can he shrink back, how can he do things that people look down upon?
What if he dies tonight?
In short, he, Li Weizhen, will not let Mu Lingxuan compare!
Just when Li Weizhen was firm in his faith, leaning on the parapet wall, and watching the long dragon like a fiery snake gradually approaching, Lan Jiayin upstairs also received the news that Mu Qi asked them to hide quickly.
It's just a joke!
Lan Jiayin had fought a horse thief head-on in the nunnery last time, how could he admit it?
This immediately arranged for Jinwen to take Song Qiaofang's master and servant downstairs to see if he could find the cellar where the grain was stored? It's good to have a relatively safe hiding place.
She herself stuck the dagger that Mu Lingxuan gave her into her waist, stared at Mu Qi and asked, "Do you know where the arsenal of the outpost is?" ”
"Take me over to get a bow and arrow."
Mu Qi banged in his head, he didn't think about it, and he blocked the person as soon as he stretched out his hand, but Lan Jiayin didn't give him a chance to speak, she stared at Mu Qi's eyes, and couldn't say anything steady, "The arrow I shot out once saved Xiao Jiu's life, do you know?" ”
"......" Mu Qi opened his mouth, speechless.
Of course he knew about this, if it weren't for the life-saving grace, how could Mu Jiu be convinced of a yellow-haired girl?
But the question is, how much does the prince value the future Mrs. Shizi, Mu Qi knows very well in his heart, there are always no eyes on the battlefield, in case Lan Jiayin ......
Mu Qi hurriedly shook his head, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, just with the temperament of his own prince, he was afraid that he would not be able to relieve his hatred if he was chopped alive.
The two of them were in a stalemate, but Song Qiaofang behind was very unhappy, she slapped the table, shook off Sister Ling's hand to support her, and said loudly: "I don't hide, since I'm here, I always have to do something for everyone, I can't do anything else, I can collect firewood and boil water." ”
She is always a person who has been in the West for a long time, and she has heard and heard books in the teahouse so that her ears are calloused, and she naturally knows that once the war starts, women, children, and the elderly can all help, although she can't shoot arrows, but she always has hands and feet and is not a waste, how can she hide as a turtle with a shrunken head?
Lan Jiayin was stunned when she heard this, and her mind turned, "Ah, this outpost is full of soldiers, not a single woman, I am afraid that everyone who does miscellaneous work will have to pick up swords and guns to defend against the enemy, my family brocade will bandage wounds, if Sister Fang's master and servant can help boil water, it is not bad, if the injured people can be treated in time, at least there will be fewer deaths." ”
Anyway, there are no eggs under the nest, so what's the point of trying your best?!
Thinking like this, Lan Jiayin immediately nodded and agreed to Song Qiaofang's request, "Yes, Sister Song, my Jinwen will treat external injuries, and it is no problem to suture the wounds, you and Sister Ling will help her fight, boil more boiling water, don't be idle, let him help you light the fire!" ”
After speaking, he couldn't wait for Mu Qi to think clearly, so he rushed out of the door, Lan Jiayin is the master and a woman, where did Mu Qi dare to touch her?
After all, I couldn't stop it, so I had to stomp my foot hard and grit my teeth to keep up.
Unexpectedly, Lan Jiayin walked a few steps and turned back, and opened the door and instructed Song Qiaofang, "Make a profit on your body." ”
Song Qiaofang waved her hand, and then pulled Jinwen for advice, "Jinwen, you say, how can you call it a Lisuo?" ”
Jinwen was not polite to her, and quickly flipped through the baggage, and after a while, she found two sets of simple muslin dresses, "Miss Song, put this on, and then tie the cuffs tightly with strips of cloth."
Taking advantage of the change of clothes between the master and servant, Jinwen was not idle, she neatly found out some necessary objects, and cut Song Qiaofang's new skirt that had not yet been put on into a palm-wide strip of cloth with scissors.
"Let's bring all the sewing kits, Sister Ling will go to boil water with Uncle Song in a while, and it will be used to clean the wound, and Miss Song will follow the maid, hand over the wound medicine, and wear a needle and thread." After Jinwen finished speaking, he pulled Song Qiaofang and left, "Let's go find the soldiers in the outpost, they must also have wound medicine here, let's take them all out, organize them all, and find another house, and prepare it for a while." ”
Walking to the entrance of the building, Song Bo was already waiting there, at this time it reflected the benefits of the old man, he had experienced the battle of Pingjing to defend the city, not only was he not timid, but he also provided Song Qiaofang and the three of them with some emergency solutions, Song Qiaofang's eyes lit up, and he sighed, "Uncle Song, I didn't see it, you still know so much!" ”
Immediately promised: "Do a good job, I will definitely not treat you badly, and I will be rewarded after the deed." ”
As they spoke, the four of them became busy, and a simple medical dormitory gradually began to take shape under their hands, and they looked like it.
When Li Weizhen saw Lan Jiayin with a bow and arrow in his hand and a quiver on his back, his eyes were red, and he grabbed the person when he stepped forward, and shouted: "You are crazy, this is a battlefield with real knives and guns, not for you little girls to play around!" ”
"Don't make a mess, go down quickly, but as long as I still have a breath, I will keep you safe!"
Lan Jiayin looked at him coldly, and sneered: "Second son Li, men and women don't kiss, please let go, as for whether I stay in the house or stand on the parapet......"
After a pause, she asked with a mocking look in her eyes, "I'm sorry, are you qualified to ask?!" ”
After speaking, he didn't look at Li Weizhen's shocked expression, ran to the parapet wall in three steps and two steps and looked outside, only to see a team of people and horses holding torches in the distance, marching very fast in the wind and rain and mud, and coming straight towards the outpost, it can be seen that it is not a rabble.
Lan Jiayin lit the number of torches, and had a rough idea in her heart, and after thinking about it, she asked Li Weizhen very curiously, "Did you bring the treasures given by the Holy Lord?" The wind leaked on the road, which attracted the thief to look for it? ”
It was really not abrupt for her to ask like this, the reason was very simple, the place they were in now belonged to the wilderness where there was no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, whether it was a horse thief or a Rongdi person, they were mainly looting things, if there was nothing to provoke them, it would be impossible for people to come to this kind of place where birds do not lay eggs.
The only possibility is that there are treasures or important people they like in this outpost, compared with the two, Lan Jiayin feels that the former is more reliable, after all, she left home secretly, and with the brains of her parents, she will only cover the news tightly, and it is impossible for others to know, so it is not valid for someone to kidnap her to threaten Mu Lingxuan.
And Li Weizhen went to Xuanping Hou to read the holy decree, it is very likely that the saint also rewarded a lot of gold and silver treasures, this group of people is huge, there are a lot of people, it is difficult to keep so many lax mouths, leaked secrets and then were known by the thieves' spies, so they chose to rob at such a time and such a place.
