Chapter XII
Meng stood in front of the hundred households in Xicheng, took a deep breath, and stepped inside.
When the freshly baked Meng Xiaoqi bypassed the shadow wall and walked away, the soldiers in front of the door glanced at each other and smacked their lips, this doesn't look like a military man, I heard that he killed two Tartars before?
"I look like a reader."
"Can he kill the Tartar?"
"After raising the small flag and summoning the hundred households, can there still be a holiday?"
"It's a pity that my brother slashed three of them, but he hurt his leg, otherwise he could have ......"
"But I heard that this is really a scholar, and it is said that he is still a child."
"Huh? That sour Ding that Gao Fu can still see in his mouth, could it be him? ”
"Who else?"
The soldier who spoke was silent at the same time, the archer Gao Fu, a notoriously ruthless man, what he said must not be bad.
"I can't say how capable this scholar really is."
Meng didn't know that he had become the talking point of the former soldiers of the Hundred Households, and he was still a little apprehensive when he walked on the brick and stone paved road in the Hundred Households, and kept thinking about the news he had inquired about before.
The surname of the hundred households is Shen Mingxuan, born in Yanshan Guard, and his father is the righteous son of Emperor Hongwu, who has made military exploits in the desert of the Northern Expedition.
The invincible god of killing on the battlefield before, splitting people like chopping melons and vegetables, is this one, and he is also another person who saved his life after Ma Zongqi.
The top boss of the top boss, plus the savior.
Meng secretly smiled bitterly, he had experienced so many things in just a few days when he arrived at Biansai, and he didn't know whether to sigh that the god of fate loved him, or to look at himself extremely unpleasant.
The mind is turned back and forth, and the face is not revealed. On the way to the journey, he met a burly bearded man, and there was a little familiarity between his eyebrows and eyes.
Recognizing that this person was a general flag, Meng immediately stepped forward and saluted, "I have seen the general flag under the mark." ”
"Your surname is Meng?"
"Yes!"
"Killed two Tartars before? Now with a small flag? ”
"Yes!"
"Good!" Dahan suddenly patted Meng on the shoulder, "My surname is Ma, and Ma Biao, who died in battle outside the city before, is my brother." ”
Meng raised his head, with a hint of surprise on his face, no wonder he looked a little familiar.
The Ma family is a military household, Ma Zongqi died in battle, leaving three sons behind, the oldest is only eleven, although the position of Zongqi is hereditary, but there is no reason to let a doll take office.
The horse is often the remnant of the clan, so he can naturally be on top. It's just that the border guards in the early Ming Dynasty were not as good as other places, and if this new Ma Zongqi wanted to subdue his brothers, he was afraid that it would take a lot of effort.
Human affection is one thing, and the border army that has been fighting in Saibei all the year round values more about ability.
This is also the reason why Meng seems to run away as soon as the wind blows, but he can make Zhao Fu and the others look up at him.
The ruthlessness in his body is right to the appetite of these fighting men.
Ma Chang was so "courteous" to Meng, if it weren't for other plans, Meng Shishilang dared to take off his head and kick it as a ball.
However, Meng's eyes rolled, this kind of show of favor is not necessarily a bad thing. Since Ma Chang attacked Ma Biao's position as the general banner, he will be his boss in the future, and there are rivers and lakes in the court and in the army. It doesn't matter if he can really stand on his feet, swinging up and down there, it's better to look at it than to be treated as a thorn in the eye.
With the cameo of the new Ma Zongqi, Meng is finally no longer as nervous as before.
Standing in front of the door of the main hall, he habitually straightened his jacket, dusted off his sleeves, and walked into the room after making a report.
From the outside, the hundred households are not unusual, like other buildings in the city, the loess walls, wooden doors and windows, the patterns on the window rails have been old, and the zodiac pictures carved on the tips of the doors are a little eye-catching.
Meng didn't dare to look more, and saw a figure in blue clothes sitting high in the hall, knowing that this was the main person he was going to see today, he nodded to the ground on one knee and said loudly: "I have seen Shen Baihu under the mark!" ”
Perhaps in order to strengthen his courage, Meng deliberately raised his voice, not wanting to finish his words, but the person on the chair did not speak, but just pointed to the armrest of the chair with one hand, and held a book with the other hand, and on the cover of the book, the two big characters "Spring and Autumn" were written.
Meng began to beat the drum in his heart, spitting on the evil old society, and if he didn't speak or say anything, he had to continue to kneel.
I thought I could be praised, but it turned out to be like this, and the hundred households were unhappy? Or do you just happen to be out of sight of him?
Although he has lost a little weight, his skin is still good.
muttered in his heart, but Meng never looked up, just because Shen Xuan made too deep an impression on him on the battlefield.
For the first time in his life, he was so afraid of a person.
Meng Chongjiu could only let him act cautiously, and facing the cavalry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was just fighting for his life, but in front of Shen Xuan, Meng felt great pressure.
The so-called domineering side leak is like this?
This is not the real Fengzi Dragon Sun, if it is Zhu Di, the king of Yan, the future Emperor Yongle, I don't know what the situation will be like in Lu Dao?
The traversers who came over in the era of peace, it is still not easy to fantasize about climbing high and calling for the little brothers, otherwise, the local tyrants of the times will teach them the most vivid lesson, telling them that there is a fundamental reason why the flowers are so popular.
Fighting on the battlefield, fighting in the court, the military generals of the Ming Dynasty, IQ and EQ are not comparable to ordinary people, how can they be fooled at will?
is the looks, and they are all above the level. Jianwen's second-year Jinshi Wang Gen was secretly manipulated because of his appearance, and he was pushed off the top position.
Therefore, whenever you come to a strange land, you must uphold the spirit of modesty and prudence, and it is the best policy to work hard and be willing to be lonely.
Meng planned to do so, but after today, he would find that it was not so easy to pursue loneliness.
Thinking about it, the legs don't seem so uncomfortable.
As a result, there was such a scene in the hall, Shen Baihu was concentrating on reading, and Meng Xiaoqi was single-mindedly fugue. The difference is only that the adults of the hundred households are sitting, and Meng Xiaoqi's posture is not so comfortable.
Finally, Shen Baihu put down the book, picked up the tea cup on the table, and gently brushed the tea surface with the tea lid, "Get up." ”
Meng didn't get up immediately, his legs were numb, and he would bend forward if he didn't stand up and pounce.
Shen Xuan didn't say anything, and waited for Meng to get up and stand firm before he continued: "Why did Zhi Lu Dao call you?" ”
"I don't know."
"I really don't know?"
"I don't know."
"Two levels of decapitation."
Shen Xuan's words fell, Meng was stunned, subconsciously raised his head, and lost his mind with just one glance.
Zhan Bi Qiao, green bamboo. There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding.
The person in front of him is really the killing god on the battlefield?
Black hair, thick eyebrows, black eyes. The sideburns are like a knife, and the skin is like a moist jade.
Immortal, but not like a woman.
The fingers were slender and on top of the blue shirt, and it was hard to believe that it was these hands, holding long knives, to slash one enemy after another.
The knife was stained red with blood, and so were the people.
Killing gods, or like a jade gentleman?
Meng pinched his palm hard, and gathered his mind, what kind of place is this, and who is the person in front of him?
Don't you want to die?
Shen Xuan was also a little surprised, but the surprise was hidden in his eyes and was not noticed.
Putting down the teacup, there seems to be something different about this Meng, not just because of his thinness.
Thinking about Shen Xuan's question, Meng Shu understood something, could it be that this Lord of the Hundred Households thought that he had taken the lead in battle?
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Meng no longer dared to have a half-star of Qisi, everything else was secondary, and he had to prove his innocence! Otherwise, he will be too wronged!
"Hundreds of households, the mark is indeed beheaded at two levels, there is absolutely no falsehood, there are archers and spearmen of the same banner who can testify. Named with a surname, you can check it immediately! ”
In this matter, Meng definitely did not lie, plus he was stabbed half to death with a spear, and he was slashed by Shen Xuan, which can be counted as two and a half.
It's a pity that the Ming army's exploits are only counted as the total number, and a fraction is not added. Meng Shishilang was quite regretful.
"Oh?"
Shen Xuan raised his eyebrows, as if he was smiling, but he became more and more straightforward, and the moon was unparalleled.
At the end of the day, I still don't believe it.
Meng was not annoyed, but became more and more calm, and already had an idea in his heart.
If you really suffer the loss, he will not be Meng.
"Hundreds of households must not believe it," Meng Zhengse said, "Although he has been studying since he was a child, he is not proficient in martial arts, and he is also a Zheng Zheng man, with the ambition to serve the country, and he has the revenge of killing his relatives!" On the battlefield, when fighting for your life, relying on the help of the brothers on the left and right, you can also kill the enemy and behead you! I can break the Northern Yuan Dynasty and drive the king's tent to the north of the desert, and the soldiers are stronger than the Northern Yuan cavalry? Definitely! Rely on me to fight with one heart, the cavalry is strong, and the foot soldiers are brave. The general knows the soldier, and the pawn uses his life! If one person is defeated, then two people, three people, swords, guns and halberds in the battle array, suddenly a few stabs out, one hundred and ten people are like one person. If such a powerless person is marked, he will have nothing to fear, and he will be able to kill the enemy in battle! After a pause, Meng continued, "Mark the foolish opinion, and a hundred households are not strange." ”
Shen Xuan didn't say anything, nor did he refute.
How to refute? Could it be that Meng's words are wrong, a fallacy and heresy, and a bunch of nonsense? Doesn't that mean that the army battle array is not the opponent of the Northern Yuan cavalry, and by the way, they despise fierce generals such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, and Lan Yu? If you admit that Meng Yiban's words are correct, you will be beating yourself in the mouth, admitting that you have made the mistakes of "dogmatism" and "empiricism", and that you are obviously a person who kills the enemy to serve the country, but you insist on giving people the hat of "risking the leadership of the army".
After thinking about it, Shen Xuan found that he could only admit that he was wrong to blame Meng, and the other party's military exploits were very "real", and there was nothing to question.
Shen Xuan began to face Meng squarely, with an extremely serious attitude. Suddenly remembered that he had saved him on the battlefield, when this emaciated boy was stabbing a Tartar with a spear.
The bloodshot eyes and fierce expression are like wolf cubs that have just come out of the wolf's den on the grassland.
Therefore, Shen Xuan remembered him and remembered him.
Perhaps, he really blamed the other party.
After a while, Shen Xuan suddenly stood up and arched his hand to Meng Yi, "It's Shen's fault." ”
Meng was stunned for a moment, a little confused, admitting his mistake so easily?
This doesn't make sense!
Without waiting for Meng Shishilang to come to his senses, Shen Xuan continued; "I heard that Meng Xiaoqi was a child?"
"Back to 100 households, this is true."
Shen Xuan nodded, then shook his head and sighed lightly, "It's a pity." ”
Meng Shishilang was confused, a pity?
"If you can continue the imperial examination and stand in the court, you will be set as a model for civil officials and a pillar of the court."
Meng: "......"
Is this a compliment?
Thinking of the heroic Ma Zongqi before, Meng gritted his teeth, daring to praise people like this, is it the fine tradition of Shen Baihu's line?
And he found that the personality of the hundred households in front of him seemed to be different from his impression, very different.
There are bandits?
He wanted to punch himself.
