Ding Xin was silent for a long time, and smiled bitterly: "It's Chen Jianzhao, the city lord of Nasancheng." I didn't dare to hide it from the hussar general, I had previously petitioned the king to garrison Sancheng, called guarding against the surprise attack of the Northern Song Dynasty, but in fact, I wanted to settle the grievances with the city lord of Nasancheng. I didn't think that they had already united with the Song army to set up an ambush in the city... Because of me, nearly half of my brothers were killed and wounded, and the three lieutenants who had been with me for many years were all killed in battle, I am ashamed..."

Speaking of this, Ding Xinxin was already a little choked.

"What! Chen Jianzhao? Ma Zhiyuan's face was a little moved, "Is that the martial arts genius in Tianlan City back then?" ”

Ding Xin's failure to speak is a tacit acquiescence.

"If he is really as rumored to be, he must be a master of the situation by now." Ma Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, "I really want to fight with him..."

Seeing that Ding Xinxin's face was filled with sadness again, Ma Zhiyuan slapped his thigh fiercely.

"Credible, I'm really sorry, you also know my martial idiot's temperament, I didn't mean to expose your wounds." Ma Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed.

Ding Xin shook his head.

Ma Zhiyuan pondered for a long time, and asked, "I don't know if you can come to me, what is the matter?" If it's for me to get your revenge, then I'll have to say sorry to you. ”

The rough-looking man smiled bitterly: "You also know that the army of the entire Qi country has been almost transferred. Although there are still 50,000 guards in the city, news has just come that there is a rebellion in Chu and Qing prefectures in the south, and the local defenders cannot resist the enemy, so they have sent a request for help to Tianlan.

Presumably, tomorrow the king will issue an edict, telling me to take the capital guard army south to quell the rebellion. As for Sancheng, at the moment, the king is afraid that he will not pay attention to it for a while. ”

Ding Xin said in a low voice: "I haven't reported the matter of Sancheng to the king yet. At this time, those who knew about the rebellion in Sancheng were only generals in Tianlan City. I came to the general this time, not to ask the general to avenge me, but to do something else. ”

"Oh?" Ma Zhiyuan was a little surprised, "What's the matter with that credible place?" ”

Ding Xin stood up, and immediately knelt on the ground: "General save me!" ”

Ma Zhiyuan hurriedly stood up, and heard Ding Xin continue: "If the king knew that I had damaged nearly half of the army, with his temperament, he would definitely hold me accountable. I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but I am not willing to die without avenging those brothers who died because of me. ”

Speaking of this, Ding Xin knocked his head three times, and the force was so great that it left a cloud of blood on the ground.

"Ask the general to save my life, if I take revenge in the future, I will be the general before and after the saddle, and go to the soup and fire!"

"This..."Ma Zhiyuan was hesitating, the person who served the tea in front pushed open the door, walked into the room with his head down, came to the table without squinting, took away the tea that had become cold, and then left the room without stopping.

Ma Zhiyuan seemed to have made up his mind: "Okay, I believe you can get up first and stay in my mansion." When I go on the march, you can hide in the army and go south with me. ”

Ding Xin fell to the ground, and his voice trembled slightly due to excitement: "Thank you, General." ”

After helping Ding Xin up and asking his subordinates to arrange a room for him to live in, Ma Zhiyuan walked into the martial arts training hall alone and picked up the double-edged halberd on the shelf.

The double-edged halberd, also known as the Fang Tian halberd, has a crescent-shaped blade on one side connected to the tip of the spear through two small branches, which can be pierced and chopped.

This weapon is complex to use and requires great strength and skill. Many people used it as a weapon because of its majestic appearance, but when they went to the battlefield, they were not as good as spears. Later, it was mostly used by the royal honor guard, and was used every time there was a sacrifice.

However, the halberd in Ma Zhiyuan's hand is obviously not used for sacrifice, the halberd is full of blood, and I don't know how many people's blood has been drunk.

Ma Zhiyuan danced twice at will, and then the halberd pointed forward violently, and the dummy in front of him was instantly blown to pieces.

"Smack." Applause rang out, and a middle-aged man dressed as a subordinate walked into the martial arts training hall at some point, he stepped in front of Ma Zhiyuan, bent down, and picked up a piece of dummy fragment.

The man laughed: "What a domineering halberd, the general's martial arts have improved again, and he must be able to fight with Zhao Wenqi." ”

Ma Zhiyuan's face was a little helpless, and he seemed to be quite close to this person: "Don't make fun of me... If you can't fight, you can be evenly matched within ten moves, and you can only barely parry with twenty moves. If Zhao Wenqi moves seriously, I will die within thirty moves. ”

This surprised the middle-aged man, who looked at the fragments in his hand again. Just now he saw with his own eyes that Ma Zhiyuan's halberd was pointed, and before it touched the dummy, the dummy was blown to pieces.

Even if he doesn't practice martial arts, he can understand the power of this halberd, but Ma Zhiyuan said that he can't even accept Zhao Wenqi's thirty moves, how can he not be surprised?

"Don't talk about that." Ma Zhiyuan put the halberd back on the shelf and turned his head: "Ji Xun, you must have heard the conversation between me and Na Ding before." ”

The general's subordinate named Gong Jixun shook his head, "I didn't hear it, but I can guess it, it must be Ding Xin who asked you to save his life." ”

This time it was Ma Zhiyuan's turn to be surprised, and he asked curiously: "Exactly, how did you guess?" ”

Gong Jixun cleared his throat and said loudly: "Previously, Ding Xin was ordered to go to Sancheng to garrison, but he was seriously injured, and he quietly sneaked back to the city alone. Instead of reporting to the king first, he came to see the general as soon as possible, and the result was already obvious. ”

Ma Zhiyuan thought for a while, scratched his head in some confusion, and then grinned: "I don't understand, anyway, I'll leave the matter of using your brain to you." ”

When he was hesitating when he heard Ding Xinxin's words just now, it was the man in front of him who walked into the room and quietly gave him a look, so that he agreed to Ding Xinxin's request.

"However, Nadine is a real character." Ma Zhiyuan sighed with emotion: "Groveling, even kowtowing, just to avenge his subordinates... I was really mistaken about him. ”

Gong Jixun rolled his eyes: "What is to avenge his subordinates, he is just afraid of death." ”

"Huh...?" Ma Zhiyuan grew his mouth, "I was deceived? ”

Gong Jixun nodded.

Ma Zhiyuan suddenly became angry, and he was about to go to the shelf to get the halberd, but he didn't want to be stopped by Gong Jixun.

Seeing his puzzled eyes, Gong Jixun smiled and said: "Although Ding Xin has a poor character and is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is a usable person. There are still 5,000 warriors under his command, not to mention, he himself is a master of the Tiger Mighty Realm.

With him and his 5,000 men, our plans are a little easier. After all..."Gong Jixun's words had a deep meaning: "The 'enemy' of the two southern states is very strong. ”

Ma Zhiyuan seemed to be affectionate and hugged Gong Jixun's shoulders and pulled him out of the hall.

"No matter how strong it is, what can it be? In front of your 'wisdom' and my 'martial arts', those 50,000 people are also vulnerable..."

The two left, leaving only a halberd in the hall, flashing with a strange light.

……

The predecessor of the Qi Palace was the imperial palace of the Tang Empire, which was burned down by the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty more than 100 years ago. The Northern Wei Dynasty, a powerful Kyushu powerhouse, rebuilt its royal palace on its ruins. When Tianlan City was broken, it was not damaged, and the later King of Qi, Lu Zhao, was too lazy to build another palace.

Above the main hall, Zhang Liangyuan, an old prime minister who is over seventy years old on the left, stands a row of ministers. The general Yang Zhiyong was on an expedition in Shuzhou, Yongguo at this time, and the general Che Tian was in Yumen Pass, so the military attache on the right was headed by the hussar general Ma Zhiyuan.

The young new king of Qi sat on the palace, supported his cheek with one hand, looked at the important ministers in the audience, and said: "Yesterday, there was news from Chuzhou, the remnants of Chu launched a rebellion in the two southern states in a vain attempt to restore the country, what do the ministers and others think?" ”

The ministers of the palace had obviously learned the news a long time ago, and they were not very surprised for a while. A civil official stepped out of the crowd, first saluted, and then spoke:

"Your Majesty, this is the most important moment for me to complete the great cause of unification, and there must be no omission. The minister asked the king to send a hussar general to lead the capital guard to quell the rebellion. ”

"Oh?" Lu Shuqin, the king of Qi, asked: "But a group of thieves, killing chickens with a knife?" Why let the hussar general lead the Guards? ”

Ma Zhiyuan's military achievements and martial arts are superb, and the Duwei Army is the most elite army in Qi State, using such a combination to quell the rebellion, Lu Shuqin can't help but feel that it is a bit of a fuss.

The civil official explained: "Back to the king, at such a moment, it is even more because of the thunderous means. In this counterinsurgency, we must not only win, but also win beautifully. In this way, the remnants of the countries in the country will not dare to move, and it can also deter the Song and Yong countries. At this time, the only people who can do this are the hussar generals and the capital guards! ”
