Chapter 1: The Slave General

"The prestige of General Wanlima, the white-haired Dan is heard all over the world!"

At the intersection of the three mountains of Heng Mountain, Taihang Mountain and Yan Mountain in the north, there is a city built by the gourd water of the long river, which is named Ulzhou.

Ulju is one of the famous 16 states of Yanyun. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it connects Sanjin in the west and Zhili in the east, which is an important town in the north.

Bang Dang...... Crackling......

In February, the cold of the winter has not subsided. Outside the city, there is a long queue of men, women, and children, beating gongs and drums, whipping and holding signs. Carrying a basket full of bags, under the leadership of several landlords and squires, they came towards the city gate with joy.

Today is not a holiday, and there is no amnesty from the Son of Heaven. They are in the dust, and they are specially here for one person's birthday.

"My Sun, Moon and Celestial Dynasty was built by countless heroes who worked hard to drive out the Mongol and Tartar captives and reshape Kyushu.

Since the founding of the country, it has been more than 200 years since the founding of the country, including Taizu, Huiwen, Zhenwu, Renxi, Xuande, Tiantong, Jingdai, Chengxian, Hongxiao, Wude, Shijing, Longqing, and 12 emperors.

In our current Tianli Dynasty, the reason why the Northern Capital Jingshi has been as stable as Mount Tai for 20 years is all due to the brave defense of the three famous generals!"

The leading squire, who was old but in excellent spirits, talked with great interest: "To the east of the northern capital, there is Li Ning who guards Liaodong. In the north of the northern capital, there is Qi Laohu sitting in Jizhou. And to the west of the northern capital, there is Malan Creek Huxuan Mansion.

In this northern triangle, Ma Lanxi is ten years older than Qi Li Ershuai, and his life is more legendary and tortuous. Hehe, the old man was a neighbor across the river from him!"

The old squire told the story that had been told countless times with emotion: "It is said that the Mengwu Tartar of the grassland is extremely fierce, and he once built a great Qian Dynasty to devour the Quartet!" Although he was driven out of Kyushu by the heroes of my Celestial Dynasty, he has not died of thieves for two hundred years, and he has committed crimes every year.

About 50 years ago, a generation of wolf lords Aladan Khan appeared in the Mughal Palace, who repeatedly broke through our nine-border defense line to burn, kill, and plunder.

Eight-year-old Ma Lanxi was caught as a slave on the grassland in the chaos. In the past ten years, he has learned a good martial arts, and he has won the importance of the wolf master. But he is in the barbarian camp and his heart is in Han, and when he grows up, he will give up the glory and wealth of the grassland, and flee back to his homeland wholeheartedly!"

The old squire paused, listened to the sound of applause in his ears, and continued with satisfaction: "I finally went home after nine deaths, and I couldn't bear to be invaded by Aladan Khan, so I rose up to join the army.

In the past 30 years, he has fought hundreds of battles and worn dozens of wounds. Hitting the crowd with less is not a big victory! relied on military merits to promote from a small soldier to a marshal. The Tartars are afraid, the army and the people love him, and they all call him Matthew! With him guarding the Xuanfu, we can enjoy peace in Ulzhou!"

Speaking of excitement, I remembered the difficulties of many years. The old squire blushed and shed tears: "Folks, Ma Lanxi is not only the pride of our Ulzhou, but also the patron saint!" Now he is old and has retired, but we Ulzhou people can't forget the heroes! Today, Taishi is 64th birthday, and I want to be the first to congratulate him on his birthday!"

"That's right!"

The atmosphere of the villagers was so warm that even the cold wind seemed to be scared away.

"Is it true that Master Matthew has three eyes?" Some children innocently asked.

"Neither nor not!"

A scholar shook his head and dragged the text: "Just because Master Matthew knows himself and knows his opponent, he has no last resort." No matter where the Tartars go or what they want to do, Matthew can strike accurately at the exact time and place. The Tartar was frightened, so it was rumored that the king of horses had three eyes, which was to praise his resourcefulness. There is also a nickname for his bravery, called the madman Ma ......"

Some villagers sighed: "Master Matthew has been a slave to Aladan for ten years, and no one knows the style of the Tartars better than him." Alas, miserable for half a life, those who hear it are sad! ”

The scholar clapped his hands: "The trough does not fall into Qingyunzhi, such a slave god of war, my generation should think of himself as self-encouragement!" ”

"Forget it! Ma Taishi is a martial artist, Wei Qinghuo went to reincarnate in illness, and then he jumped into the dragon gate. How can we compare with the small people?"

The villagers all sighed: "The three-eyed horse king...... Maybe the Taishi really has a divine eye, this is God protecting the Celestial Empire! ”

The scholar was disdainful: "I have nothing to say to the unambitious and vulgar people...... Hey, what's wrong with the woods?"

In the distance, the woods near the gourd water were rustling, white smoke was rolling, and the wind and sand were faintly accompanied by the neighing of iron.

A group of people stopped in unison: Didn't you go out of the fire?

In the woods, the smell of death spreads among the wind.

There was a logging clearing in the middle of the woods, which was crowded with about eighty people from the three forces.

Among them were more than two dozen men, dressed in peasant clothes, who were either strong or sharp. He was lying on his stomach on the ground, bleeding and dying, and lost his life.

There were thirty people cleaning the battlefield, wearing armor and carrying crossbows and swords, and at a glance they knew that they were soldiers of a hundred battles.

In the middle of the clearing, ten boys, no more than fifteen long and eight or nine young, circled around with serious faces. There is a young general under twenty in the circle. The limbs that are comparable to those of an adult tiger and leopard are actually wearing the bright light armor that is rare today.

Mingguang armor was once glorious in the Li Tang Dynasty, but now firearms are popular, and they are gradually eliminated and used as faΓ§ade in the imperial court. The generals of the Northern Army prefer simple and cold-resistant cotton armor.

Of course, it's not that there is nothing out of the ordinary. For example, the young military general in front of him, the copper scales on his armor flashed gold, the round mirror on his chest shone silver, and he was a local tyrant, blinding the eyes of the people around him.

The young general held a golden helmet with the head of a beast in his left hand, and a lotus iron bone flower in his right hand. Cat and mouse interrogating the only captive tied to his knees in front of him.

"It's ...... What's going on?"

The woods behind him slowly walked out of more than a dozen men in strong suits. Equipped with iron ruler rope knife, felt hat soft armor, fully equipped, not a simple catch, but a public master of the headquarters.

They are starry and moon-hugging a fifty-year-old man. Although his head is bald and his beard is white, his back is as straight as a gun, and his limbs are strong. Hooked nose squinted, imposing: "You are...... Ma Jiajun?"

The young man glanced at it and said disdainfully, "Hmph, when you come, this gourd water will be dry."

"You killed these people?"

A catcher asked. Seeing the young man rolling his eyes and raising his eyebrows, he looked arrogant. Immediately furious, the person introduced the person and said: "Presumptuous, Lord Beiying is here, who dare to kill people at will?" Stand up and answer!"

The youth "hooh". The legs are more spread apart: "Lord God Catch...... What kind of official is it? How many products? Little general, I hung up a six-grade job in Jinyiwei. Shall I listen before I decide whether I want to stand or not?"

"You ......"

As soon as the momentum of the head-catching was released, the Celestial Empire emphasized military force and light literature, and the soldiers and the public were suppressed. The name of the god hunting of the Zhili headquarters can call the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes, but in fact, it is still an official, not an official. Although it has a certain amount of real power, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the military and civilian officials.

"Huh! An old fowl, don't dare to bother the general!"

The Northern Eagle Divine Hunt smiled stiffly and said softly: "In the Ma family, the one who is so young to be a hundred households in Jinyi can only be the grandson of the Ma family, General Ma Xuan, right?" Disrespectful, disrespectful!"

Ma Xuan didn't expect the other party to guess so quickly, so he turned his head and looked carefully: "The divine capture is the divine capture, there are two brushes!"

"The little general has won the award. I waited for the information, and there were more than ten Demon Sect masters who tried to mistreat Master Matthew, so I secretly chased after him for three days. If you don't want to be wiped out by the general here, please give me some advice. ”

He is a Pentecostal, with a humble tone, and Ma Xuan is very useful. Clapping the armor and clasping his fists casually, he said, "It's easy to say!" I am Ma Xuan, the grandson of Matthew. The twenty people who died were not good citizens, but demon demons, and they united with the Mughult masters to harm my grandfather. ”

"And the Mughal masters?"

Beiying frowned, it was very troublesome to have diplomatic relations involved.

"Hmph, can't you smell such a heavy sheep on your body?"

Ma Xuan pointed around with Gu Duo: "It's not a secret that the Demon Sect and Mengwu have joined forces. Ten years ago, Long Qing made peace, and one of the conditions for Aladan to claim tribute was to hand over the several leaders of the Demon Sect in the grassland. ”

Beiying looked at the corpses: "They are all masters of strength, how can they be annihilated?"

Ma Xuan sneered: "The horse king has three eyes, and the enemy has no traces!"

What a domineering offspring!

Beiying could only smile bitterly at Ma Xuan's rude attitude: "I don't deny that Master Ma is wise and brave, but I heard that he is now seriously ill and bedridden, and I am afraid that I am powerless." can still be traced against the enemy, I'm afraid it's the ability of the Ma family's soldiers, right?"

"Oh?"

Ma Xuan said proudly: "You also know the soldiers of the Ma family?"

"Huh! Liaodong Iron Cavalry, Qijia Tiger Army, Ma Family Soldiers. The three strong armies under the command of the Northern Triangle, who in the Celestial Empire does not know?

I heard that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry is good at running and attacking, the Qi Family Tiger Army is good at fighting, and the Ma family soldiers are the best at light cavalry to explore the enemy.

Therefore, the soldiers are often eclectic. In battle, take the lead in going deep behind enemy lines. Insidious, intelligence, assassination, rebellion, inducement, everything! They are the eyes and ears of Matthew's battlefield, so that the king of horses can have three eyes, and the enemy has no traces!"

Beiying glanced at the well-trained boys in a circle, and felt a chill in his heart: "These children ...... Also?"

"You ...... to us I know a lot! Also knew that my grandfather was seriously ill. Ma Xuan asked vigilantly.

"Serving the Criminal Department, don't underestimate the National Intelligence Network!"

"You're done and you're still asking me what I'm doing?"

Ma Xuan waved his bones and said impatiently: "All the layouts are arranged by my third uncle, General Ma Liang.

The Ma family soldiers lured into an ambush and gathered and annihilated. Speaking of which, I acted according to the plan, and it didn't work! Oh yes, I'm going to take it back for trial, you are not allowed to rob it!"

He said it simply, but everyone in the public gate present was an official of the headquarters, and his eyesight was spicy. I could not help but be shocked when I saw that the deceased were all seventh-grade martial artists or above.

A complicated look flashed in Beiying's eyes: "General Ma Liang, one of the three young marshals, is terrifying in his later life, and he really lives up to his reputation!" Hey, you iron rod ......"

Beiying stared at Ma Xuan's waving bones with wide eyes: "Golden buds and silver stamens and iron branches, I have seen them on the map." This is...... Funeral lotus golden flower? Alada's Demon Sect National Teacher, the weapon of the Black Lotus Holy Envoy!"

The captive kneeling on the ground raised his head slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
