Chapter 24: A New Journey
He Kegang glanced at Mo Li, groaned, turned to Zu Dashou and said: "Zu Shuai, Mo Li killed Liu Tianlu before that, although this Liu Tianlu colluded with the Tartars also deserves to die, but after all, it is the following offense, and there are violations, it is forgivable in the situation, and it is not in agreement with the law, but if you kill Mo Li in this way, it is not reasonable in terms of reason, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, not to mention that Mo Li has just broken the siege of the Tartars, and has made great contributions, but Gang thinks that Zu Shuai can expel Mo Li and others from the army to set an example. ”
Zu Dashou thought about it for a while, and then knew He Kegang's true intentions, so he said: "Then let Mo Li disguise himself to protect the family of the superintendent, right?" ”
"Zu Shuai Mingjian."
Zu Dashou pondered for a long time, nodded, and said: "Mo Li, you committed the crime of killing Shangguan without permission, which is unforgivable, but now that you have made meritorious service and General He intercedes for you, the general will save you from death." ”
"Xie Zushuai's grace of not killing!" Mo Li hurriedly stepped forward to thank him.
"Don't thank me yet. You also heard what General He meant, now that the Inspector has been killed, and I am afraid that the traitors of the court will not let go of the Inspector's family, so the general will hand over the responsibility of protecting the Inspector's family to you! Zu Dashou said.
Mo Li said with an awe-inspiring face: "Zu Shuai and General He, please rest assured, Mo Li will definitely live up to the trust, and must ensure that the superintendent's family is well-protected." ”
He Kegang said: "Brother Moli, Brother Guan Feng will also go with you, and bring more manpower, you must protect the family of the superintendent, but Gang is here to ask the two of you!" ”
Saying that, He Kegang actually put on a whole robe and wanted to kneel. Mo Li and Guan Feng hurriedly stretched out their hands to stop He Kegang, and said in fear: "General He, you can't do it!" ”
He Kegang said with tears in his eyes: "Mo Li, Guan Feng, now that the two of you have been dismissed, you can completely protect your wife and son in private, but Gang is favored by the superintendent, so what's the harm in kneeling on behalf of his old man today!" ”
"General He, this is wrong! Mo Li and Guan Feng have also followed the superintendent for many years, the superintendent's great kindness and righteousness, we dare not forget each other, Moli swears here, we must protect the lady and the son, General He does not have to be polite, otherwise he will look down on me! Mo Li said loudly.
"Well, what your lord said is right, General He, if you have a dispatch, Guan Feng will definitely protect the family of the superintendent with Lord Mo, and will never disappoint Zu Shuai and the general." Guan Feng also said.
"Okay, you guys go down and prepare first, without further ado, let's go as soon as possible!" Zu Dashou said.
He Kegang saw that both of them nodded, and said immediately: "Zu Shuai is right, Mo Li, Guan Feng, without further ado, I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, so let's go!" Ke Gang has a few brothers around him, and they are also loyal to the superintendent, so let them go with you to protect Mrs. and Son, and listen to your dispatch along the way, the safety of Mrs. and Son, please leave it to the two! ”
"General He, please rest assured, we will leave immediately!" Mo Li nodded and said.
He Kegang walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, Brother Mo, this girl Su Su will also go with you, and help me send her back to Beizhili by the way, please take care of you along the way!" ”
"Good!" Mo Li was overjoyed, stayed for a long time, and finally heard a piece of news that lifted his spirits, and immediately agreed.
Everyone was about to disperse at the moment, Zhang Cunren suddenly saw the Zhang Tang newspaper, and remembered that the supervisor had appreciated him a lot before, and couldn't help but feel a burst of grief in his heart, and said: "Zu Shuai, General He, now that the supervisor has been wrongly framed by traitors and killed tragically, we, the old subordinates of the supervisor, will the court ...... then?"
Zu Dashou groaned for a moment and did not speak. He Kegang looked at Zhang Cunren and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, what do you mean by this?" Aren't you afraid that the overseer will trouble you? ”
Zhang Cunren hurriedly argued: "No, no, the superintendent treats me like a mountain, how dare the last general think so?" General He, the last general just felt that even the good generals of the world who were so loyal to the superintendent and devoted themselves to protecting the safety of the Ming Dynasty and the society had suffered such a tragic end, and good people had no good reward! So is it still necessary for us to defend the Ming Dynasty here? The court treated us like this, and the brothers really felt aggrieved! ”
"That's right! General He, now the emperor is deceived by traitors in the court, and even the pillars of the country are indiscriminately killed! In case one day we fight to the death of the Tartars on the front line, but we are given death by the court for no reason, who can stand it, brothers! Zu Dale also said indignantly.
Zu Dashou was silent for a while, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say anything like this in the future, it's very dangerous!" Remember, we are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, so we naturally have to guard the Ming Dynasty! We are not for one person, but for the sake of thousands of Ming people! I'm sure the Overseer thinks the same way, and he won't regret it. ”
Mo Li and the others were silent when they heard this.
At dusk, Mo Li took Guan Feng, Lin Guo and others to He Kegang's tent, and He Kegang was already waiting. Seeing that Mo Li was coming, He Kegang shouted: "Someone." ”
I saw a guard walk in outside the tent and said respectfully: "General." ”
"Go and ask Du Geng if they are ready, and let them come to see me immediately." He Kegang waved his hand and said.
After a while, I saw a sound of footsteps outside the account, and six people walked in.
Mo Li looked at it, and he was dressed as a scholar first, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, not very tall, but the whole person gave people a feeling of shrewdness and ability. There was also a fat man, a thin man, all about forty years old, and a woman of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, of medium appearance, wearing a red dress. The last two were young men in their twenties, and they knew they were brothers at a glance.
The six of them all looked tired, and at this time, they saluted He Kegang and said, "I've seen the general!" ”
He Kegang arched his hand and said, "Brothers, you don't have to be polite. Let me introduce, this is the Da Linghe general Mo Li, this is his right-hand man Guan Feng, both of them were single-handedly promoted by the superintendent back then, loyal to the superintendent, this mission is very important, I will entrust the Moli brothers to be fully responsible, you must obey the command of the Moli brothers along the way, and do your best to protect the superintendent's family bloodline, you know? ”
"Yes! Checkmate! The six of them responded in unison.
He Kegang briefly introduced the six people, it turned out that the scholar was dressed as Du Geng, and it was also the head of the six of them, the fat man was called Wei Hong, the thin man was called Xia Yijiao, and the woman was called Yun Han.
As for the two brothers, they are He Kegang's brothers, the eldest is called He Zhendong, and the second is called He Zhenbei, and the two brothers are natives of Liaodong.
At this time, Su Su also came, two of her four family members were killed in battle, two were wounded, and they were left in the army to be injured, and one of the eight brothers also died, so even she had a total of eight people with her.
He Kegang said: "The dry food and coils of the horses are ready for you, let's set off!" The blood of the Overseer, please leave it to you! He clenched his fists and saluted.
Mo Li and the others said in unison: "General rest assured, we will not fail in our mission!" ”
