Chapter 15: Bloody Storm

Qingzhou Mansion, which Yang Mingyi had painstakingly operated for many years, experienced a period of chaos after the "peaceful liberation", but soon regained its calm and vitality. The Red Turban Army is far from what it used to be, it is highly disciplined and has committed no offence against the common people. This made the people in the city breathe a long sigh of relief, as long as the normal order of life is not broken, whether the black flag is hung on the city gate tower, or the red flag, they can ignore it.

But the peace was soon shattered, and General Nguyen Vu ordered that all families in the city who owned houses must be re-registered. After many high-ranking families registered, their owners were thrown into prisons, waiting to be beheaded, on charges of "financing bandits". If the courtyard is not luxurious, the whole family was beaten out of the city gate by a random stick.

Ma Yuanqi, as a senior staff member under General Ruan's account, was allocated a set of courtyards. With the Red Turban Army in charge of Qingzhou Mansion, the busiest profession in the city is the matchmaker, whether rich or poor in the city, the family with daughters are busy marrying the women in the boudoir to the Red Turban Army generals, it is said that the family can protect the peace, more effective than Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The threshold of Ma Yuan's family was about to be broken by the matchmaker, and he was so annoyed that he finally nodded and married the daughter of a private school gentleman. This woman is average-looking, but she is literate and hyphenated, and her tutor is very good. The guilt of killing his uncle and aunt before joining the Red Turban Army for the first time has long been thrown out of the sky by Ma Yuanqi.

"Husband, you're back." Mrs. Ma lowered her rolled up sleeves, stepped forward to help Ma Yuanqi take off her long shirt, and asked with concern, "Are you tired?" I'll give you a hot meal. ”

Ma Yuanqi nodded slightly, his eyes aimlessly scanned the room and asked, "Why is this room so messy?" ”。

"Oh, taking advantage of the fine weather today, I washed my clothes and bedding, and sorted out your old things." Madame Ma turned her head and replied.

Ma Yuanqi hummed lightly, sat down and picked up the tea that his wife had already made for him. Suddenly, his gaze was fixed on the two gold bars on the desk, and he couldn't help but stand on end with sweat all over his body.

"These ...... Where did all this come from? Did you read the letter? Ma Yuanqi put down the teacup, stared at his wife with straight eyes and asked in a low voice.

Mrs. Ma turned around and came closer, and replied timidly: "Don't blame the husband, the slave family knows that he shouldn't read that letter. It's just that I couldn't hold back my curiosity for a while. Fortunately, it's all in the past, the Black Flag Army has been destroyed, and Jiang Shoufu is nowhere to be found. Since the slave family is committed to you, they just want to grow old with you, and they will never leak this matter. The slave advises you to burn that letter early! ”。

As she spoke, Mrs. Ma moved her lotus steps lightly, took out a letter from under a stack of books, and handed it to Ma Yuanqi with both hands.

Ma Yuanqi's face was gloomy, he took it without saying a word, hurriedly walked to the candlelight, and after a moment's effort, the object in his hand turned into ashes.

At the dining table, Ma Yuanqi's face was still pale, and he lowered his head and pulled the food into his mouth without saying a word. Mrs. Ma glanced up at him, sighed lightly, stretched out her chopsticks and put the vegetables in his bowl and whispered: "Don't worry, husband, this matter has become a thing of the past, and it is over." With his husband's status in the army, he has a bright future. I don't want you to be prosperous and rich in the future, I just want us to live a good life in peace. ”

Ma Yuanqi didn't answer, stopped what he was doing, and stared straight ahead with blank eyes, thoughtful.

Late at night, Ma Yuanqi was still tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Mrs. Ma opened her sleepy eyes and muttered, "The letters are all burned, what else do you have to worry about?" Rest early. ”

Ma Yuanqi got up and sat up, looking directly at the sleepy lady with his eyes. In the flickering candlelight, his facial expression was cloudy.

After a moment, he stretched out his hands and grabbed Madame by the throat.

Mrs. Ma woke up completely, struggling desperately with a purple face, and said with difficulty: "Husband, I'm ...... I am your wife, and you are not even me...... Can't believe it? ”。

Ma Yuanqi whispered with a terrifying smile on the corner of his mouth: "I won't trust anyone in this world!" Only the dead can keep secrets. ”

Mrs. Ma used her last strength to kick the quilt on her body to the ground, a wisp of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, and she tilted her head and remained motionless.

A gust of wind blew and extinguished the candle on the desk.

Hara's eyes widened in anger, clenched his scimitar, and stared intently at the black-pressed Shani and Watta coalition forces in front of him.

Shanihada, who was on the opposite horse, leaned back and laughed: "Little rabbit, you guys are just like that?" Dismount and die! Perhaps King Ben Khan's mercy will spare the lives of most of your Kates tribe. ”

Hara spat hatefully: "Shanihada, you evil wolf, is also worthy of calling yourself the King of Khan? I'm going to kill your dog today! Also, those stupid Wata, your tribe has been flattened, and you are still following Shanihada for your life?! ”。

Shanihada's face changed slightly, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Little rabbit cub, death is on the verge of death, and you still lie to confuse the public, in vain to disturb the hearts of our army?" The wolf cubs have all listened to me: kill today, and leave no one behind! Eradicate the Catters once and for all! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”。

With the rumbling hooves of thousands of galloping horses, the combined forces of Shani and Watta shouted and charged.

Hara raised his scimitar high, glanced left and right, and shouted, "Eagles of Cutus, protect my homeland, fight to the death, and fight with them!" Come on! ”。

Although the warriors of Kates were few in number, the momentum of their shouts was not weakened at all, and everyone raised their scimitars, their eyes were red, and they rushed towards each other after Harabuhua.

Blood splattered and smoke billowed up. The two sides scuffled together, and they all stopped shouting in unison, just gritted their teeth and waved the scimitar in their hands desperately, using the blood of the other party to dissipate the hatred in their chests.

Hara didn't spend his blood and blood, whether it was the Watta warriors or the Shani who rushed over, he swung his sword and slashed without thinking. The blood and screams of the other party made him feel extremely happy. His shoulders, arms, legs, and chest were wounded by his opponent's scimitar from time to time, and blood gushed out, but he did not feel the slightest pain.

Shanihada gritted his teeth and hated it: the warriors of Kates lived up to their reputation, and despite such a huge disparity in the number of men and horses, they still went forward and were not afraid of death!

The bloody Harabuka roared and rushed to Shanihada's horse, swinging his sword at him.

Shanihada screamed and swung his sword at him. The two scimitars collided violently, and sparks flew in the piercing roar.

Shanihada waved his hand and stabbed again, and the already exhausted Hara Buhua let out a miserable scream, and his left arm Qigen flew into the air. Blood splattered from the severed arm.

As soon as the two horses made a mistake, Hara Buhua threw away the scimitar in his hand, stepped on the stirrup, flew away from the horse, and wrapped his only arm around Shanihada's neck, and opened his bloody mouth to bite it with a hideous face.

The frightened Shanihada quickly turned his head to dodge, and Harabuhua's big mouth failed to bite his throat, but dragged a piece of flesh from his shoulder.

"Protect the Khan!" The guards at Shanihada's side shouted in panic, dozens of scimitars stabbing at Harabuk.

Harabuhua's chest was pierced by a scimitar, and the flesh of Shanihada was in his mouth, and his body fell to the dust.

None of the warriors of the Cutters surrendered, and all were killed.

The combined forces of Shani and Watta pounced on the yurts of the quiet Kates tribe.

In a panic, a Shani soldier ran to Shanihada, who was bandaging his wounds, knelt down and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "King Qiyu Khan, there is no one in the yurt of the Kates tribe!" ”。

Shanihada stood up abruptly, gasped, and looked into the distance.

After a long silence, Shanihada sighed softly: "There are masters in the Kates tribe! ”。

An adjutant general beside him bowed down and said, "King Khan, we have sent a large number of reconnaissance horse teams, and they will definitely be found within a radius of hundreds of miles!" ”。

Shanihada shook his head in contemplation and said, "It's too late! Before I came, although I had already migrated my tribe from the south of Cangshan to the northern foot of Cangshan, the main force of Kates may not be able to find it for ten days and a half months. But when we find the Cutus tribe, our tribe is in danger! Withdraw your troops! ”。

Bayan Tunuha led the tribal elders to greet Shanihada's brigade outside the yurt in a nervous mood.

Shanihada laughed and dismounted, waving towards the people of Bayantunuha.

The people of Bayan Tunuha bowed down from afar and bowed, and said in a low voice: "Welcome to the arrival of the King of Khan!" ”。

Surrounded by the stars and the moon, Shanihada stepped into the spacious yurt of the leader of the Danor tribe with his head held high.

After everyone carefully sat down, Shani Hada smiled and said, "Brother Bayan, our combined forces of Shani and Watta have joined forces to eradicate the Cuters tribe and returned victorious. Passing through your tribe, I want to ask for a sip of mare's milk wine to drink. ”

Bayantunuha let out a sigh of relief and humbly replied, "King Khan, you are so gracious! Mare's milk wine is enough, but the army has any supply needs, just ask. I, the Danorr tribe, should be here to help. ”

Shani Hada picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all, put down the bowl and said with a smile: "The mare's milk wine of the Danuoer tribe tastes really different!" It's just that honorable Lord Bayan, I sent an envoy to show goodwill to your tribe and want to be an ally with your tribe, why do you always refuse? Do you think I, the King of Khan, am an impostor?! ”。

Cold sweat suddenly oozed from the corners of Bayantunuha's forehead, and he waved his hand again and again: "King Khan, you have misunderstood!" The Khan's willingness to ally with us is the infinite glory of my tribe, but the Danorr tribe is weak and unqualified to be an ally of the Khan's tribe, and I am very ashamed. ”

Shanihada high-fived and laughed when he heard this, and said, "Lord Bayantunuha is really good at talking! Since you recognize me as the king of the Khan, and you said in person just now that I was too polite, then I will not be polite below. Your clan elders also happen to be here, Lord Bayan, lead them to kneel down to this king and ask for surrender. Otherwise, don't blame King Ben Khan for bloodbathing the Danor tribe! ”。

Hearing this, Bayan Tunuha was ashamed and angry, and said, "Shanihada, what do you want to do?" The warriors of our Danorr tribe are not vegetarians! Don't try to bully us! ”。

Shanihada calmly refilled a bowl of wine for himself, raised it to his lips and smiled, "What? It seems that Lord Bayantunuha is still a little grumpy, but I really want to see if the warriors of the Danorr tribe are really as brave and invincible as the leader said! ”。

Before the words fell, there was a shout of killing outside the tent, and Bayan Tunuha and the others couldn't help but be shocked when they heard it.
