2. Reunion
When Yan Xing heard Ma Lin's words, his body moved and said worriedly:
"Yes, I don't know if my brother has returned to Liangzhou safe and sound?"
Gan Ling shook his head, at that time, he was closely following Yan Xing, and he was almost able to fight his way out of the encirclement with Yan Xing, so he knew very well that Yan Xing had escaped to the south at that time, and it could be said that he was far from Liangzhou, the destination in the northwest.

He withdrew his hand, and said with a pretended lightheartedness:
"Shaojun Ji has his own natural appearance, even thousands of troops and horses have broken through, what else can stop him, he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune and return to Liangzhou!"
Gan Ling's words seemed to be appeasing Ma Lin and Yan Xing, and in essence, he was also cheering himself up. Ma Lin and Yan Xing both nodded when they heard this, they were very confident in Yan Xing's strength and luck, just like when they were in Jincheng before, it was not a matter if the great difficulties came to Yan Xing, and they could always find a solution.
Ma Lin patted his weak thigh, looked at the north and sighed:
"Shaojun once said that he was charging into battle, he was holding a long lance and a horse in front, and we were holding bows and arrows in the back, who in the world could stop it. It's a pity, my old horse will no longer be able to follow Shaojun to take risks and cross the battlefield, and the good martial arts of this body will rot in this broken place! ”
The other people who lost the battle one after another also had the same feeling of heroic end as Ma Lin, and when they heard Ma Lin say that there was no way to follow Yan Xing to charge into battle in the future, Yan Xing also let out a long sigh, looking at the far north and silent.
"Hugh wants to say these frustrating words, you and I are both Liangzhou men who fight on horses, how can we die in this place!"
Gan Ling saw that the atmosphere had become depressed and dull, and he was worried that everyone would consume all the little bit of sharpness that was left in this way, so he hurriedly scolded Ma Lin, who glanced at him, and finally did not speak.
These days, without Yan Xing by their side, it was Gan Ling who carried the biggest burden alone, leading everyone to survive in this chaotic prisoner camp, so he had faintly overwhelmed the somewhat reckless Ma Lin and established his prestige among the people.
"Or the next time those Dong Jun come to pick people again, I'll also go out and show off my skills and be a pawn in the army, although it is a little humiliating to surrender to the Han army, but I can finally get out of this ghost place."
Yan Xing waited for Gan Ling to finish speaking, hesitated for a moment, and still said the thoughts that he had been thinking about in his heart for the past few days.
Gan Ling's face was gloomy, and he didn't speak, Ma Lin originally wanted to make a sound after hearing this, but when his eyes fell on Yan Xing's injury, he finally couldn't help but didn't speak.
In the final analysis, Yan Xing was thinking about them. In order to get out of this ghost place, many coalition captives have sharpened their heads and want to enter the eyes of these former enemies.
If it was a few days before they came, Gan Ling and Ma Lin would definitely categorically reject Yan Xing's suggestion, in their opinion, they had fought to the death with these Han soldiers before, and each of them had more or less the blood of the other party's comrades on their hands, and now they surrendered, even if they could save this face, how could those Han soldiers who had blood feuds with them watch themselves become colleagues with them.
The Han army used food and selected troops to weaken and divide these allied prisoners, just to let them fall apart first, and then swallow and digest them one bite at a time, those prisoners who received the command of General Dong Jun must also be consumed as dead soldiers, after all, it is common for these Han troops to treat prisoners harshly, and if they were themselves, they would not easily let go of the once tricky enemy.
But now, Gan Ling and Ma Lin glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of confusion and helplessness in each other's eyes.
In the current situation, is there any other way out for everyone?
Just as Gan Ling and Ma Lin were hesitating how to deal with the current predicament, a figure outside the shed hurriedly ran over.
When the three of them looked at it, it turned out to be Xiao Kui, he was a light cavalry under Yan Xing, who had survived the previous few bloody battles, and was also an important member of their small team of prisoners.
"Xiao Kui, what happened, why did you panic?"
Gan Ling's face was displeased, but now he didn't have the strength to scold loudly anymore, so he had to look at Xiao Kui with frowns and ask.
Xiao Kui was excited at this time, and he didn't pay attention to Gan Ling's expression, he was so excited that he danced and stammered:
"Just now—another group of captives came from outside—and our men saw -- one of them seemed to be -- the young king!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Ma Lin instantly jumped up like an excited spring, he stabilized his somewhat staggering body, reached out and grabbed Xiao Kui's clothes, and said excitedly:
"You, you repeat, what did you just say?"
"I said that our people saw a new captive like Shaojun!"
At this time, Gan Ling also stood up, he was also happy after listening to Xiao Kui's words, but he quickly calmed down, he forced his composure, looked at the others and said:
"The situation is unknown, I'll go over with you and take a look! Hmm-Xiaoxing, you have an injury in your leg, so you should stay and rest first, and we will come back to inform you after we confirm. Xiao Kui, hurry, let's go over now! ”
Xiao Kui hurriedly responded, turned around and left with the happy and surprised Gan Ling and Ma Lin, Yan Xing looked at the figure of the three of them leaving in a hurry, and then looked at the faint starlight in the night sky, and sighed softly:
"I hope my brother is well!"
・・・
"Shaojun, really, it's really you!"
When Ma Lin was brought in front of those new captives, as soon as he approached, he immediately recognized Yan Xing in the crowd, although Yan Xing at this moment had become dressed in coarse cloth clothes, but the hard face, burly body, and majestic aura would not change with the change of clothing.
Yan Xing didn't seem to expect to meet Ma Lin here, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then saw that Ma Lin was still followed by Gan Ling, Xiao Kui and others, he was overjoyed and strode over, but when he got closer and saw that his former subordinates were now yellow-skinned, haggard and weak, Yan Xing's heart was sour, these are the henchmen who followed his Eastern Expedition, they are all good men who can drive hard bows and train fierce horses on weekdays, but now they have become such a down-and-out appearance.
Yan Xingqiang held back the sorrow in his heart, there was no doubt that his subordinates must have endured a lot of suffering and torture in this prisoner camp these days, but he could not express his predicament in front of everyone at this time. Yan Xingqiang smiled, patted Ma Lin on the shoulder and said:
"Okay, you're a big black, it's really a hard stubble, even God can't accept you, haha, it seems that I will still grab meat and eat it in the same kettle with you in the future!"
