However, at this moment, a group of cavalry rushed straight from behind, and the general at the head rode a white-headed and black-bodied horse, holding a long-handled broadsword and rushing towards Gao Hongyi and the others with a dignified face.

Li Zhong was in front and immediately faced the battle, and the soldiers on both sides stood within the two realms, watching the two of them come and go seriously. The two fought for dozens of rounds, and Gao Hongyi saw that Li Zhong could never take this fierce general, so he asked Li Zhong to come back.

Li Zhong resented twice: "Young master, why did you call me, I will take his life in a few rounds!" ”

"Brother Li, Mo Xiaoqiang, who is this person, so powerful."

"Peng Qi, the deputy general of the West Protectorate!" Li Zhong replied angrily, "But that's it." ”

"It turns out that he is the tiger general Peng Qi in his father's mouth!" Gao Hongyi looked at Peng Qi, and sighed secretly in his heart, this person looks like a hero, with sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, he is really a hero in the world! "If this person is used by his father, why can't he destroy Xihu!"

Gao Hongyi saw that Ma Tangfeng and the others had been protected by Peng Qi's cavalry, although his side had been prepared, but he knew in his heart that the troops were far inferior to the other party, and looking at the heroes and heroes of the generals around Peng Qi, the sergeants were all well-trained, and he knew that it was impossible to kill Ma Tangfeng today.

But even if he can't kill Ma Tangfeng today, his inner purpose has been achieved. That is to let Ma Tangfeng return with these 50,000 soldiers and horses in vain, and he will never dare to attack Beihu again. First, his name is not right, so he is to blame for escaping death like this! If you don't go to Jin Guo to sue him, it is already extraordinarily gracious.

Second, let him mistakenly think that his father is still alive, so he will think that the North Protector is still under his father's control, and he will not dare to attack himself, he knows that if the two Protectors in the northwest fight each other, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom will definitely send troops to quell the rebellion, who is the rebellion, of course, it is his Ma Tangfeng!

However, Gao Hongyi felt that this was not enough, he also had to add a handful of salt to Ma Tangfeng's wound, not for the present but for the future! He said with a serious face: "General Ma, I will spare your life today!" When you go back, prepare enough money and food for the soldiers, and wait for me to get it!" ”

After Gao Hongyi finished speaking, he turned the horse's head and went back with the team, he walked very slowly, so slow that it seemed that there were thousands of troops and horses around him.

......

Although Ma Chuang was already very weak, he was angry when he heard this, and shouted: "General Peng, what are you still doing in a daze, quickly lead the troops over and destroy them!" ”

However, Peng Qi did not move, because Ma Tangfeng did not say a word. Ma Tangfeng sat on the ground motionlessly looking at Gao Hongyi, who was slowly leaving.

"Father, we have an army of 50,000 and are you still afraid of him Gao Hongyi?" Ma Chuang urged angrily.

Ma Yuan slowed down for a long time before recovering, and reminded Ma Chuangdao, "Chuang'er, you see that there seems to be billowing smoke and dust in front of Gao Hongyi, as if there are countless people standing there waiting for us to pass!" ”

Ma Chuang looked at his uncle Ma Yuan's fingers, and sure enough, there was billowing smoke and dust wafting in, he was shocked, but he still didn't believe it, "It must be a trick, if there are really so many people ambushing us, why didn't he come directly to besiege us, but hid in the shadows and didn't dare to come out?" ”

Ma Yuan said helplessly: "Chuang'er, we are now in the West Protector Territory, if Gao Hongyi leads troops to kill it, it will be an internal battle between the two guards." Gao Yuanhe would not agree, and neither would the Emperor of Jin. Gao Hongyi was obviously restrained by Gao Yuanhe and didn't let him cross the border, otherwise, with his character, he would definitely bring someone over!

This Gao Hongyi has always been incomprehensible, you all said that he would not chase him, but he brought people to chase him. Now that he just said such crazy things, isn't the purpose of provoking us to provoke us, let us cross the border to chase and kill them, and then fight back? This Gao Hongyi is young and unfathomable! ”

"Impossible, Gao Yuanhe may be dead, maybe Beihu is in a mess now, Gao Hongyi may be doing this to deceive us, so that we don't dare to chase him. This kind of carving insect skills, if we are fooled, won't it make others laugh off their big teeth. If you want me to say, we have General Peng and an army of 50,000, so we will rush directly to strangle them, even if Gao Hongyi has any ambush, what can we do! ”

"Enough!" Ma Tangfeng turned around and scolded, "Didn't you find that Gao Hongyi and the others were not wearing mourning clothes?" If Gao Yuanhe died, he dared not wear mourning clothes in the name of unfilial piety, and his soldiers would not listen to his orders, how dare he pursue us! How did I give birth to such a puppet like you, who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to break through! I'm mad at me! ”

Ma Chuang couldn't help but want to refute when he was scolded, but was pulled by Ma Yuan from behind and signaled him to hold back.

"After I go back, carefully copy the "Zhou Li" a hundred times and give it to me, give me a good study, don't lose the people of the Ma family!"

Ma Tangfeng got up from the ground with difficulty, obviously still angry, and scolded Gao Hongyi, who was slowly leaving: "Gao Hongyi, you are chasing thousands of miles today, humiliating the general so much, the general will lead a strong army to repay today's great humiliation!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gao Hongyi turn around and bend his bow and draw arrows, shooting straight at him. Ma Tangfeng watched Gao Hongyi stop from a distance, and he didn't know what had changed, his eyes widened as if they were about to get out of the sockets, and he was stunned and motionless.

"Big brother, be careful!" Ma Yuan's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that Ma Tangfeng was in danger, he immediately rushed forward and pushed Ma Tangfeng away. Ma Tangfeng fell to the ground unharmed, and Ma Yuan was not hit by an arrow.

Just look at the arrow diagonally inserted in the place one step ahead of the Matang wind, and let the north wind blow violently and not move a bit! Then, Ma Tangfeng and the others heard the huge laughter of the others on the other side, and the laughter was like countless sharp arrows inserted into Ma Tangfeng's body, his face turned pale, and he fainted to the ground as if he was in unbearable pain!

Ma Yuan was frightened and immediately helped Ma Tangfeng up, Ma Tangfeng tried his best to open his eyes, and said weakly: "Take the soldiers home!" ”

.....

A few days later, Gao Hongyi received the will of the Emperor of Jin to canonize him as the general of the Northern Protector, and a handwritten letter of righteousness came with the will.

Tu Shanyi first felt shocked and saddened by Gao Yuanhe's death, and then hoped that Gao Hongyi could govern the northern protector and serve the Jin country and protect the safety of the people in the northern protector. The letter mentioned that he had been sent by the Emperor of Jin to Kaifeng Mansion to stay in Kaifeng, and at the same time took Gao Wenxing with him and asked Gao Wenxing to be his notekeeper. In the end, he hoped that Gao Hongyi would be able to fight hard and serve him when he needed him!

After Gao Hongyi read it, he put away the letter with a calm face.

Butler Qin Xi knocked on the door outside and told him that all the adults had arrived in the council hall.

He answered, looked at Qin Xi, and picked up a book casually, "Are Miss Wen Jiang and Young Master Wen Long okay?" ”

Qin Xi replied: "Lang Zhong said that the young lady and the young master were just a little frightened, and they were fine, just rest for a few days." It's just that... ”

After he finished speaking, he hesitated, Qin Xi wanted to talk about the Cheng family, but he suddenly thought of the relationship between the eldest young master and the Cheng family, so he quickly shut up.

"It's just something, if you have something to say, don't ramble." Gao Hongyi said seriously.

"Yes, young master." Qin Xi stood there and thought for a while, and continued, "It's just that Madame has been guarding in front of the spirit and hasn't rested for several days, and the little ones are worried that if it continues like this, Madam may not be able to bear it." ”

"Got it." Gao Hongyi replied coldly and went to the conference hall.

Before he entered the door, he heard the voices of Li Zhong and several city lords arguing.

"How many of you, can't you even find a mourner?"

"Master Li, there's nothing we can do!"

"There is nothing you can do, what do you want!"

The city lords were silent, they had long wanted to return to their respective cities, but Gao Hongyi had been banning them on the grounds that their father's funeral had not been done, which made them resentful, unwilling to do anything, unwilling to care about anything.
