Chapter 413: Yangzhou Night (continued)
Ma Ming'er returned to the north end of the alley, called the fifth junior brother and said earnestly: "Fifth brother, the current situation is urgent, and there is a major event that must be your fifth brother." ”
The fifth senior brother stepped forward and said: "The second senior brother is like a lifter, and if you have something to say, do you want the junior brother to lead people to break through the blockade of officers and soldiers?" ”
Ma Ming'er laughed dryly and said: "That's not good, the officers and soldiers didn't do it, how can we do it, and the intention of the officers and soldiers is unknown, wouldn't it be a big deal for the master to do it rashly, right now the master is worshipping the Buddha in Daming Temple, and you and I can't sit down when dealing with the government, so I still have to ask the master to show me." ”
The fifth junior brother frowned and said, "How can you ask the master to show me?" You also said that the master is still in Daming Temple, how can you tell him to know; Master is really, he returns after half a day of worshipping the Buddha on weekdays, but today he has been doing a day and a night, is it to eat fasting and chant the Buddha and become a monk? ”
Ma Ming'er said with a straight face: "Senior brother can't talk like this, master is an elder, we as apprentices can't talk about him behind his back." ”
The fifth junior brother muttered: "What master, back then, our brothers followed him from the northwest to come here, and this country was also fought down by us together, although we worshipped him as a teacher and entered this Dragon and Tiger Gate, saying that it was the master and apprentice who were actually still brothers, but now, he enjoyed the blessings alone, and our brothers stood aside, and the second senior brother, I have a sentence to say, is it this reason?" ”
Ma Ming'er patted him on the shoulder and said: "The fifth child has a lot of temper recently, just say this to me, don't dare to continue to talk to others, especially Li Lezi, you don't know Feng Ye's methods; It's not the time to talk about these things now, I understand your thoughts, brother, but things always have to come step by step, don't they? In the current situation, Feng Ye is still indispensable; At the moment, Li Lezi and I are guarding the alleys on both sides, and someone needs to go out to inform Feng Ye, brother, I thought about it, on martial arts and wit, you are the fifth, this matter has done a lot of credit, Feng Ye is happy and will definitely hand over the big shop at the south gate to you to take care of, so that you are the fifth. Isn't it considered to be boiled out? ”
The fifth junior brother said: "Both sides are blocked, how can you get out?" ”
Ma Ming'er said: "It's up to you to find a way, brother, do I have a way to beg your fifth junior brother to come out?" ”
The fifth junior brother thought for a while and said: "It's done, but after you succeed, you have to say a few kind words in front of the master, you also know that the business of the wine shop at the south gate is good, let an outsider take care of it, Lao Tzu panicked in his heart, if it falls into the hands of my brother, the second senior brother's share is indispensable." ”
Ma Ming'er smiled and said, "Then thank you first, how are you going to get out?" ”
The fifth junior brother said, "Look at me." ”
The fifth junior brother went into the back room and came out, the outfit on his body was changed, it was originally a neat and clean suit, but now it has been changed into a tattered set of bloated cotton robes, his hair was rubbed messily, and he stood in front of Ma Ming'er and said: "Brother, look at it, does it look like the one called Huazi in the daytime?" ”
Ma Ming'er covered her mouth and smiled: "It's really yours, where did you get the robe?" It's fucking like that. ”
The fifth junior brother said: "What do you mean by something like that, isn't this something we did for a long time before?" Second Senior Brother, don't you remember that once when we went to the city to get goods, we all wore tattered clothes and sneaked into the city? The officers and soldiers were stupid, and when they saw the beggars, they hid faster than anyone else, and that time we robbed three big families, and the big bosses almost didn't die of happiness. ”
Ma Ming'er laughed and said: "Yes, yes, yes, there is a time, the fifth child is going to pretend to be a beggar and go out?" The face is not quite like it, it is cleaner. ”
The fifth junior brother said, "Isn't that easy?" Reaching out on the ground, he grabbed a handful of mud and wiped it on his face, and his face was immediately covered with dirt, and even his beard was a mess of black ash, which looked no different from an old beggar.
Ma Ming'er raised his big finger and said: "This time it is absolutely true, my brother wishes you success." ”
The fifth junior brother smiled and said, "Look, okay." He turned and walked out of the house, following the shadows under the eaves to the mouth of the alley.
Ma Ming'er beckoned and led people to slowly follow in the distance, secretly praying in his heart that the fifth brother could get out smoothly, the fifth junior brother pretended to be like that, bowed his head and coughed constantly with his sleeves caged, and slowly came to the bright place where the fire at the mouth of the alley was shining, and a back was dragged behind him by the firelight.
Suddenly, Ma Ming'er, who was behind, felt a little uneasy, and the officers and soldiers on the opposite side neither asked loudly nor scolded loudly, and a group of black shadows sitting on the horse just quietly watched the fifth junior brother drag his steps towards the alley step by step.
The fire flickered, but it couldn't hide the whistling sound of the arrow, the fifth senior brother keenly felt that something was wrong, and slammed down to the ground, but it was too late, and the feather arrow went straight into his chest with a strong wind, and the exposed arrow feathers shook and made a muffled buzzing sound.
The fifth senior brother looked at the feather arrow that had not entered his chest in disbelief, let out a shocking scream in horror, and reached out to pull out the arrow on his body, but he was already powerless, he slowly sat down on the ground, looked at the blood gushing in his chest and gasped: "Damn it...... I ...... I'm a beggar...... I am a people...... Fuck ...... Dog officers and soldiers...... You guys...... Even beggars are killed......"
Before he could say anything, the body fell to the ground, and his body quickly turned cold.
Ma Ming'er watched the liver and gallbladder crack, what kind of officers and soldiers are this? It seems that this time it is for the real thing, and the officers and soldiers have made a move, which means that tonight will definitely not be good, and the only reason why they did not rush in is that they have too few people to take advantage of coming in, and they are waiting for the support of other officers and soldiers.
Why are there only so many soldiers here? Why did the other officers and soldiers disappear? Ma Ming'er thought quickly, her brain, which had not been used for a long time, was a paste at this time, and she always felt that everything was going well when Feng Ye was in town on weekdays, but Feng Ye was not there, so she immediately became at a loss, Feng Ye, where the hell are you Feng Ye?
Ma Ming'er's brain flashed suddenly, and a layer of goosebumps appeared all over her body, where did the other officers and soldiers go? Do you need to ask? Since the officers and soldiers dared to block the alley, didn't this already mean that they didn't pay attention to Feng Ye's stubble at all? Their brigade must have gone to Daming Temple to search for Feng Ye, and when Feng Ye was caught, they turned around and targeted everyone in this alley; Judging from their methods, once they attack, they will inevitably be ruthless, and this is going to wash Beikou Sanli in blood.
Ma Ming'er's heart fluttered and seemed to be about to jump out of his throat, he firmly believed in his own judgment, just like when he was a thief before, he believed in his judgment countless times and escaped death, and his brain became bright at the critical moment.
"Hurry up and call the third senior brother and say that I have something urgent to discuss with him." Ma Ming'er regained her composure and hurriedly said to a brother beside her.
The disciple who was immersed in horror hurriedly rushed to the south entrance, and after a while, Li Lezi rushed over panting.
"Has the fifth child gone?" Li Lezi asked.
"He's there." Ma Ming'er pointed at a lump of cold meat in the firelight.
"Hiss......" Li Lizi gasped.
"Brother, I'm afraid that this matter can't be passed today, the officers and soldiers shot the fifth child without even asking a word, the foolish brother thinks about it, and the master is afraid that he can't stop it."
"You mean Master was arrested by them? They don't buy Master's account anymore? ”
"I'm afraid that Master's ability can't be caught, but whether Master is arrested or escaped, I'm afraid we will have to rely on ourselves tonight."
"This ...... Senior Brother means ......"
"The reason why the officers and soldiers just can't block it is that the troops are too small, and these are the cavalry who came to make trouble that day, and they are only one hundred and fifty or sixty when they are full, they are afraid that they will not be able to please us when they enter the alley, so they want to block us, and wait for the Xiangbing Brigade in Yangzhou to come to help and wipe us out; Those box soldiers are afraid that they are chasing Feng Ye, and the day the box soldiers return for reinforcements is the time when we die without a burial. ”
"So ......"
"So we can't sit and wait, we have to gather our brothers to rush out, as long as we get out of this alley, the world will be big, after going out of the city, find a cottage to squat, we still do our old business, and the days are still chic and comfortable."
"However, even if you go out of the alley, there will be soldiers and horses guarding the city gate, how can you get out of the city?"
"It's very simple, one person catches two people and mixes them in the team, and goes straight to the city gate, I see if the officers and soldiers really don't care about the life or death of the people, if you want to kill us, you have to kill twice as many people as me, Feng Ye said, when the official sells his reputation and reputation, it is just a matter of secretly doing bad things, and he asked them to order the people to be shot, they will never dare, because it is related to the black gauze hat on their heads, I think Feng Ye is right, so I want to gamble."
"Is there no other way? My brother always felt that it was not appropriate. Li Lezi hesitated.
"Okay, then you stay here, brother, I'm going to rush out with half of the people, we have our own destiny in life and death, I'm not like you, I value my life as expensive, and my brother's head is always pinned to the belt of his trousers."
Li Lezi hurriedly said: "Why did my brother say this? How can we each do our own things at this time? ”
Ma Ming'er stretched out his hand and pulled out the steel knife on his waist and turned his head and said: "No wonder brother didn't remind you, if you stay and be caught by the officers and soldiers, you will still die, and you will have to suffer some torture before you die, and it is not too much to cut off your head a hundred times for those things we have done, so don't fantasize about being able to escape this little life." ”
Li Lezi slapped his thigh, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, it's done, I'm going to gather my brothers, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one, if you want me Li Lezi to be arrested, no way." ”
