Zhang Du was worried that a military horse would chase after him, so he persuaded: "Daddy, if you want to talk to him, you can talk while walking." ”

"Don't interject." Zhang Dezhong glared, turned his head to Ma Kongming and continued:

"The law really can't control those bad people, but it prevents many ordinary people from becoming bad people, if there is no law, then ordinary people have no scruples when they have evil thoughts, and there will be more and more bad people in the world, so if you kill a bad person, you will invisibly create more bad people."

Ma Kongming had never thought about this kind of thing, and felt that his mind was in a mess, and asked: "Then do you just watch the bad people do evil?" ”

"Of course not, I'm just asking you to fight with the law first, instead of seeing a bad guy and killing him with a knife."

Ma Kongming gradually realized a little and said, "You are asking me to use force carefully. ”

"There are good and evil in human nature, how difficult it is to manage, and now the system and laws of the imperial court are explored step by step by the sages of the predecessors, everyone is guarding it tightly, and people with great ambitions will also strive to go upstream and try to perfect it. Literati follow literature, martial artists follow martial arts, this is the case through the ages, those great heroes and heroes who have left their names in history are all these people. ”

Ma Kongming was like an initiation, his mouth suddenly opened, his head was much clearer, and he only felt that the people he had befriended before were not worth mentioning compared to this old man.

He suddenly thought of why Mu Yu, Qi Heng and Mo Luo, these grandmasters, were involved with the imperial court, he used to think that these people were greedy for fame and fortune, but now it seems that they are also people with great ambitions.

This old man is the same as Zhang Ziting, he has a kind of rational wisdom, when he was young, he and Zhang Ziting met because of the extermination of a bandit, and six like-minded people successfully killed the bandits after marrying Jin Lan, he is the eldest brother, Zhang Ziting is the sixth sister.

At that time, he paid special attention to Zhang Ziting, who was only a teenager, and felt that although she was young and light, she said very little, but she seemed to draw a circle in her stomach, acted with her own principles, and never followed the crowd.

That was something that wasn't seen in the other siblings, and he now finally knew where that trait came from.

"Okay, I'll talk about it later, you go and talk to Ziting, she is in her thirties and hasn't married yet, I hope you don't bear her."

"Don't worry, old man, if I do this kind of thing, I won't be Ma Kongming."

"That'll be fine."

So the carriage drove slowly again, Ma Kongming and Zhang Ziting rode side by side, Zhang Ziting didn't like to talk, but the other brothers and sisters couldn't imagine that when Ma Kongming was alone with her, he spoke less than her.

Ma Kongming seems to be rough, but in fact he is extremely sensitive in his heart, he felt that Zhang Ziting was from a scholarly family, and he felt a little inferior to her in his heart, which is why he didn't dare to come to her for so many years.

Zhang Ziting pondered the wording for a while, and said slowly: "My father's name is Uncle Zhang De, he is a Confucian in Kaihua City, and he has a good friend, Master Puyun, the elder of Zhenji Temple, and the master said that I have a master-apprentice relationship with him, so he accepted me as a lay disciple. Later, when I was eighteen years old, I wanted to go out to see the outside world after becoming a martial artist, but my father allowed me, but asked me to go for a maximum of three years, and then I had to go back. ”

Ma Kongming understood a lot of things at once, and muttered: "So that's the case, no wonder you always say you want to go." ”

"I met you after a year, and then spent two years with you, and then I parted with you."

Ma Kongming thought back to the past of his youth, and was stunned.

"I've been inquiring about you all these years, and I'm very happy to learn that your martial arts are getting higher and higher, your reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and you're also known as the first person under the grandmaster, but I don't understand why you didn't come to me."

Ma Kongming smiled bitterly: "Back then, on Tiger Mountain, I confessed to you, and then you didn't say goodbye, I thought you rejected me." ”

Zhang Ziting's eyes widened and said, "How can you have that kind of thought?" Didn't I tell you all the golden hairpin and the address? ”

Ma Kongming said: "It was the fourth sister who told me, and she said that you meant to say goodbye." ”

Zhang Ziting was sullen, and after a long time, she said again: "Later, I wrote to you, why didn't you reply?" ”

Ma Kongming's surprise was not trivial, and he was stunned: "I didn't receive it!" ”

"A year after I was separated from you, I saw you in the future and wrote you three letters."

Ma Kongming hurriedly said: "I'm really-"

"You don't need to say it, you must be with the fourth sister at that time." Zhang Ziting interrupted.

Ma Kongming also gradually came to his senses, and said with a wry smile: "I only regard her as a sister." ”

Zhang Ziting said quietly: "I know, I have been inquiring about you later, and I know that you have not married a wife, so I have been waiting for you with hope." ”

Ma Kongming covered his eyes with his hands and said, "It's me who is sorry for you, although I have never forgotten you, I dare not go to you." ”

"I was forced by the son of the county lieutenant this time to have no choice, so I wrote you another letter, but you didn't come for a long time, I gave up and was ready to marry him."

Ma Kongming was surprised: "What about later? ”

Zhang Ziting said with a smile: "It was my father who insisted on opposing it, saying that he would never give in to the county lieutenant, it just so happened that a friend of my father's surname Ji wrote a letter to invite him to move to She County, and after my father sent someone to inquire in She County, he learned that the new county commander was a good official, and he had just taken office, and it was the time to employ people, and his younger brother could serve under him, so he was ready to move over, and you will know what happened later." ”

Ma Kongming glanced at the carriage, and his heart couldn't be more grateful to the old man, and he agreed more with what he said, and said to Zhang Ziting:

"Ziting, what your father said is very right, I was too wrong before, from now on, I don't want to be a big helper of the prince of Ma anymore, I just want to be a little catcher."

"That's good." Zhang Ziting smiled slightly, and after a while, she lowered her head and asked, "Will you marry me?" ”

"Then you don't need to ask, as long as you still look up to me, I will always be by your side in this life."

After the two eyes intersected, it was like the positive and negative poles of a magnet meeting, and it was difficult to separate.

After a while, Ma Kongming snorted: "Sister, I took the hairpin you gave me, I'm sorry." ”

Zhang Ziting was taken aback and asked, "Has something happened to you recently?" She knew that for no reason, Ma Kongming would not take what she sent.

Ma Kongming was greatly moved when he saw her so confidant, and told him about being besieged by the "dove", Zhang Ziting said anxiously: "Then the injury on your body is not in the way?" ”

"Don't worry, it will be fine in a while."

Zhang Ziting knew that he was strong in martial arts, so she put her heart at ease, and asked again: "Second brother, third brother, fourth sister, fifth brother, are they okay?" ”

"The second brother was killed by Zhuge the deputy master of the Eagle Gate, with the Eagle Emperor here, I couldn't go to Jinling Mansion to kill him, and then attacked him when he went out once, but he still escaped, and since then he has rarely left Jinling. After the third brother left the Blue Shark Gang, he took refuge in the Wuyue court, and I was very suspicious of the government at that time, so I wrote a letter to blame him for a few words, and then I never contacted him again. The fourth sister is still in Wutong Villa, and the fifth brother has not heard from him in recent years, and he doesn't know where he is. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Ziting recalled the scene of the uprising and sighed.

At this moment, a young man in sackcloth rushed past from behind, and his speed was very fast.

"Friend, what's wrong?" Ma Kongming hurriedly asked.

The young man shouted, "There is a horse team in our county, I have to go and tell the county commander!" ”

Ma Kongming and Zhang Ziting glanced at each other, and shouted to the driver who was driving the car: "The officers and soldiers are chasing, they have to speed up!" ”

So the carriage galloped with all its might, but it was still not as fast as the young man, and the man did not take the main road, but chose the shortest way, and after a while he was gone.

The distance from Kaihua to She County is quite far, and the carriage drove for a while, and before it reached the south gate, it heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

Ma Kongming's face changed slightly, if his martial arts were still there, then naturally there was nothing to be afraid of, but now that there was only Zhang Ziting alone, it would be difficult to protect everyone.

In the end, the carriage was still surrounded by the chasing horse team, there were more than seventy or eighty people in the horse team, all with bows and arrows on their backs, Ma Kongming felt a burst of anger in his heart, and when he needed his martial arts the most, he couldn't do anything.

The leader was a tall and thin officer, and he said coldly: "I am An Chao, the deputy captain of the Kaihua City Defense Battalion, and I was ordered by the county lieutenant to arrest you back, so come with me obediently." ”

Zhang Ziting pulled out her long sword and said nothing.

Ma Kongming used to rely on his martial arts to be strong and never bring a blade, but now he only has three empty gourds on hand, so he has to raise his fists and prepare for a fierce battle.

At this time, Zhang Dezhong walked out of the car and said solemnly: "Commander An, you openly led your troops across the border, aren't you afraid of the county order of Shexian to blame?" ”

"That's my business, don't worry about it."

At this moment, there was another sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and everyone looked over, but it was a woman in purple, Ma Kongming saw it and exclaimed: "It's you!" ”

Jin Lanzhi was even more surprised and exclaimed, "Aren't you in Huangkou Village?" Why is it here again? ”

Ma Kongming didn't have time to elaborate, and shouted: "Help me quickly, these people want to arrest us." ”

If it was for himself, he would never ask for help, but for Zhang Ziting, he would do anything.
