At Mengjin Ferry, Ma Yue did not drive directly at the ferry, but stopped on the shore five miles west of the ferry.

There was a mountain cliff on the west side of the road, and the cold wind was not so violent, so the four of them got out of the car and sat around the shore to make a fire.

This is a good place to watch the scenery, looking to the west can also see the waves rolling, to the Mengjin ferry river water gradually slowed down, a layer of frost condensed on the river surface, the bottom of the river has been frozen, from here to the east you can see the whole river surface like a layer of ice armor, very beautiful.

Sitting at Mengjin Ferry, Ma Yue's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and he still remembers the night in Jiuquanyedian, the killer sent by Wei Qi rushed into the store at night, he hid behind several cases and the hand holding the trigger was trembling, and the moment the crossbow arrow was nailed to the knife hand, he knew that he had killed someone.

Since then, a rough calculation shows that in his own hands and under the iron hooves of his soldiers and horses, more than 50,000 living beings have been destroyed.

Fifty thousand, that's the population of a county in Liangzhou.

Suddenly, the melodious sound of the piano sounded in his ears, which suddenly woke Ma Yue from his contemplation, and saw Cai Yan's slender fingers plucking the strings, raising his head and squinting his crescent-like eyes and smiling at him, and then lowering his head to caress the strings.

A good girl who is empathetic.

This song is not killed, there is no passion, it sounds pleasant and comfortable, so that Ma Yue feels as if he has returned to his hometown, with the blue sky and white clouds overhead, and a piece of green as far as the eye can see, the pony is carrying himself to gallop wantonly, the sky and the earth are big, and the heart is peaceful.

This is not a troubled world, but human life has long been as cheap as a dog, and if I don't kill people, people will kill me. Since you have chosen the path of meritorious service for the general, where is there a way back?

After the song, Cai Yan smiled at Ma Yue, there was no problem, and there was no comfort. But in Ma Yue's heart, this guqin is already worth a thousand words, he stood up, and heard Cai Yan and Wei Zhongdao discussing the rhythm again, at this time, he no longer envied Wei Zhongdao, and he no longer felt ignorant.

People will feel envious of what they can't have, but the world is not satisfactory, often nine times out of ten. It can be said that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and you can only seek the best for yourself.

For Ma Yue, what is the best?

If you can save your life, it's the best.

At this time, Ma Yue glanced back at Wei Zhongdao, this beautiful young man was excellent, erudite and gentle. But the world he lives in is a peaceful and prosperous world, like a beautiful dream.

Ma Yue looked at himself, this is also excellent, majestic and powerful, the world he sees is a chaotic world immersed in a blood-red, he was born on a horse, grew up on a horse, lived on a horse, and will eventually die on a horse.

Raising the whip and pointing straight at it, every inch of land that the horse's hooves have stepped on is called a battlefield, and how can it not be honored and long?

Gradually, in the west of the sunset, the sky was dyed with a layer of red, and while the sky was not yet dark, Ma Yue and his party set foot on the way home.

After browsing the scenery for nearly two hours on the road, and chatting for some time at Mengjin Ferry, Cai Yan was also a little tired, so he no longer planned to go to the White Horse Temple, and everyone went all the way into Mengjin Pass, accompanied by the squeak of the wheels, at dusk, the car drove to the outskirts of Luoyang.

At this moment, on the other side of the official road, a cavalry team also galloped towards Luoyang.

This cavalry team of more than 50 people carried two flags, one with the book Hun Zuoxian King, and the other with the book Ten Thousand Horsemen, and the banner was hunting in the wind.

The cavalry in the horse team is also all fierce and abnormal, a few people wear leather jackets and hair on the left side, and more are wearing Han clothes, but the appearance of high eyebrows and deep eyes can still make people see at a glance that this team is composed of foreigners.

With a few banners in the team that read, 'Ten Thousand Riders', it's not hard to wonder where they came from.

Huns!

As soon as the horses were walking slowly, the Huns rode lightly, but in a moment the cavalry of the Huns came behind the chariot in the face of the sunset.

Ma Yue found out about this group of Huns earlier, but he didn't take it seriously, although the Huns horse team was overwhelming, but this is the suburbs of Luoyang, the capital of the Han Empire, what tricks can the Huns play? Besides, the road is so wide, at this time, Ma Yue has nowhere to avoid it.

"Brother Ma, there are a lot of Hun cavalry behind, should we let our frame go?"

Wei Zhongdao asked carefully, he looked a little nervous, the Huns behind the car shouted closer and closer, and some people shouted Han to avoid the car, where did Wei Zhongdao see such a scene, Hedong County is adjacent to the state, the Southern Huns live in the state, the fierce reputation has long been spread to Hedong, but he has never had a direct intersection with the Huns, at this time I saw these dozens of fierce cavalry, and I said in my heart that I was not nervous and was a liar.

Before Ma Yue could answer, he saw several cavalry galloping past on both sides and rushed to the front of the carriage, and the leader of a white-faced bearded man wearing Hanfu bowed down and said: "Li Jian, in the Yellow Gate of Xiazhong, I hope you understand if you are disturbed by the noble car, the rear cavalry team is the Southern Xiongnu Xiaowang who entered Beijing as a gift for His Majesty, please stop the car and let the Xiongnu Xiaowang's cavalry go first." ”

Wei Zhongdao didn't answer, and Cai Yan in the carriage didn't make a sound, but Ma Yue looked at this young Zhonghuangmen and smiled. This young Huangmen is none other than the Changshui Battalion's supervisor when he first suppressed the riots and went to Jizhou, and he was Jian Shuo's henchman.

Ma Yue didn't want to stop, but if it was a gift to His Majesty, I am afraid that he would really have to stop, not to mention that he still had a relationship with this Li Jian.

"Li Huangmen, is it possible that you don't recognize it?"

Li Jian thought that Wei Zhongdao, who was dressed as a noble son on the side of the carriage, was the one in charge, so he didn't pay much attention to Ma Yue, who was a warrior on the side, and only looked at Ma Yue when he heard this, and only listened to "Oops!" With a sound, this young Zhonghuangmen had already rolled off the saddle and bowed in front of Ma Yue's horse and said: "The little one is really blind, and he couldn't recognize Captain Ma at dusk, look at you Haihan." ”

Li Jian got off the horse like this, but let the two Southern Xiongnu entourage followed by a big eye, this Huangmen was very arrogant when he was in the territory of the Southern Xiongnu, I heard that it was the henchman of the great eunuch Jian Shuo, the Huns' good life and hospitality were not pretentious, and they sent a lot of treasures to make this road a little harmonious, but they didn't want to see a young man here and get off the saddle, who is this young man? At such a young age, he was called a lieutenant.

Ma Yue also hurriedly jumped off the horse, helped Li Jian up and said: "Li Huangmen doesn't have to be polite, the sun is dark at dusk, it is reasonable that you can't recognize it, there is no need to be so, in this case, a certain family is here waiting for the Hun King to pass." Take them with you on your official business. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. Since it is your car in front, it would be good for the villain to take them to follow behind your car, how dare you wait here. ”

Li Jian is really interesting, and he can say this. It's too unruly, but ...... So what, if he does this, His Majesty will not punish him for this, and his boss Jian Shuo will not either, maybe he can make Jian Shuo and Ma Yue happy.

"Alas, you don't have to, what's the matter with letting the prince of the Huns follow me behind the butt of my white-bodied car, it's not in line with etiquette, go over quickly, it's okay."

He can say this, Ma Yue doesn't dare to do this, the little king of the Huns comes to give a gift to His Majesty, it is the same as the status of an envoy, he doesn't dare to slack off.
